Desires Die Hard

After Anya was violently shoved on the floor in the basement by the burly men, they locked the door and hastily left. Anya

struggled to get up from the ground before she started to forcefully slap on the door while yelling. “Hurry up and release me. It’s illegal to lock me up here like this!”

“Open this door!”

way

However, after getting no response from countless yelling, she decided to stop and save her strength to think of a way out of her predicament. However, the only thing was, her phone was taken by Melissa and she was unable to call for help.

She was hoping that Cindy was able to hear her pleas earlier and would come in and save her.

As Anya stood in the pitch black, moldy, and damp basement, she forced herself to calm down as she would not allow herself to be toyed like this by the MacMillan family. The MacMillan family had treated her too ruthlessly.

Ever since the incident with Evan which they had planned for, she should never have hoped for anything from them.

It seemed that she would still have to rely on Mr. Granger to gather evidence to help her mother’s case.

Anya realized that it would be pointless for her to think about her own matters at the moment. Since, she was familiar with the mansion’s layout, she knew that there was a little door that could be opened in the basement. However, she would have to remove the door to get to it.

Anya calmed herself down and carefully thought about her situation for a moment before she started to look for the light switch. She moved by the walls until she found the light switch. After the room was lit up, using her memories, she found the little door that was sealed up and was behind some rugged bags.

If she wanted to get out, she had to pry the wooden plank open. Anya began searching for some tools to pry the plank

open.

Cindy rushed in the living room just as the burly men exited to the living room. It seemed that she had heard Anya’s call for help earlier, so she immediately got out of her car. Anya was nowhere to be seen when she entered.

Cindy frowned immediately and started questioning every member of the MacMillan family frantically. “Where’s Anya? Where have you guys hid her?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She knew that the MacMillan family had always treated Anya poorly. She was also on guard when she accompanied her there. However, She never expected those people to kidnap her in broad daylight.

“You are responsible to everything you say, Ms. Xanders. Don’t you dare not respect your elders when you’re only this young.” The old lady exclaimed while casually sipping tea. It seemed that the old lady was quite the powerful person in the MacMillan family and was not even bothered by the little brat, Cindy.

“I’d obviously be responsible to everything I say. So, I am asking you guys, where is Anya? Where have you guys hid her?” Cindy approached them and continued to probe.

“Anya has already left, Ms. Xanders. Don’t you think you’re a little rude for asking us where she is? We can’t possibly strap her down now, right?” Anya’s step–mother, Melissa replied in a cold and sinister

tone.

“She left? Where did she leave from then?” Cindy probed. She was no fool and how could their simple statement possibly

send her away so easily then? “Let me tell you guys this. It’s illegal for you guys to hide her away.”

When Anya told her to come along with her, she was trying to prevent such an accident from happening.

‘Look, isn’t Anya gone now then? She’s suddenly gone and not to mention, they were saying that she has already left? Cindy thought to herself. If Anya was to leave, she would have left from the main entrance and not to mention, how could she have not informed Cindy when she left anyway?

“You have no reason for accusing us, Ms. Xanders.” Melissa scoffed as she was not in the mood to waste her breath on Cindy. Hence, she told one of the burly men, “Send Ms. Xanders on her way. Our family will not welcome a guest that will simply accuse anyone of anything.”

After receiving his orders, the burly man rolled up his sleeves and was about to send Cindy away.

However, Cindy took a step back and immediately took out her phone and said, “I will leave on my own. However, before I go, I need to take Anya with me. I will be calling her now.”

She immediately started calling her. However, both Melissa and the old lady did not seem to be bothered by her actions at all. Cornelius on the other hand did not want any part of this, so he left to his

study instead.

However, Cindy was unable to reach Anya when she called her. It seemed that her phone was switched off.

This just further proved Cindy’s suspicions. Anya had no doubt been locked away somewhere by them!

Why would Anya suddenly switch her phone off without reason? Since Cindy was unable to come up with an excuse, she frantically called the emergency helpline. She told the old lady and the ruthless Melissa while she called, “I will be calling the cops if you guys don’t hand Anya over now.”
