Desires Die Hard

Anya stepped into the mansion. It had been a while since Cindy got back. The two precious ones were taking a nap. Anya did not want to wake them. She quietly changed into her room slippers and went upstairs to remove her makeup.

Curious about what Evan had discussed with Anya, Cindy followed her up to the second floor.

Anya stepped into the washroom on the second level and stood in front of the wash counter. While she was removing her makeup, Cindy leaned against the door frame and asked, “Anya, how was your discussion with Evan? Did he accept your resignation yet?”

Anya bent over to wash her face with tap water. “Nope. He was not agreeable to it. He feels that it is better if I stay on in JK, and they have plans to send me to Paris for a business trip next month.”

Cindy was taken aback. Did Anya mean that… she compromised? “And you agreed?”

“Not yet. He gave me a few days to consider,” Anya sighed with frustration. “He knew that I have moved to this mansion. I can’t hide from him,”

“What?” Cindy was startled. No wonder he was named the most influential man in Nordeny. It was only a matter of days that he found out Anya’s new address. There was nothing they could hide from this man. Migrating to another country could be a way out but it was not practical for Anya.

Cindy could feel a headache creeping up. “What do you plan to do then?”

“I am not sure either. Let me think about it over a few days.” Anya could not think of any ideas to keep Evan away from her.

Cindy nodded. “My suggestion is to just ignore him. There is no way he can force you to be his girlfriend against your will, right?”

“Yup.” Anya sighed again. She did not want to let Cindy know what Evan was really like. He did not need to force people. against their will. He would not take no for an answer. He could give a few options but ultimately, the final outcome would follow his wishes. “I’ll think about it.”

Cindy would not try to convince Anya against what she really wanted. “Actually, it would be fine if you decide to stay in JK. Like he said, the prospects in JK are beneficial to your career. The only issue is that you would have to face him every day.”

“Ya,” Anya nodded. Going back to JK was not a huge issue. The more critical matter at hand was how to get out from doing

the DNA sample test.

Evan wanted to do the DNA authentication in Hong Kong this time and Anya predicted he would likely want to bring the two kids to Hong Kong. If they went, he would find out the truth. The last thing she would want was to lose custody of her precious twins to Evan. She needed a solution quickly.

“Cindy, can you do me a favor?” Anya turned to Cindy who was still leaning against the doorway.

“What is it?” Cindy asked.

“Evan wants to do another DNA authentication test. Can you help me find two people to act as my cousin and her husband? They have to be someone trustworthy as they need to be able to withstand questioning by Evan.”

Cindy frowned. “Oh… I can help you look for people, but how are you intending to play this out?”

“They just have to decline his request. I don’t believe if their ‘parents‘ reject to do the test, he, as a CEO of a renowned company, would force strangers against their will?” Anya reasoned.

Cindy paused to think and said, “Are you sure this would work?” Evan was not gullible to fall for this easily.

“I’m not sure too, but I don’t have any better ideas,” Anya sighed. “I can only think of this at the moment.” Previously, she used fake hair to manipulate the test results. But this time, they would not use this trick again. Evan would not fall for it. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Cindy looked at Anya’s troubled expression. She reached over and pinched Anya’s cheeks gently. “Don’t worry, Anya. I’ll help you think of something too. He wanted to look for a facility in Hong Kong to do the authentication?” Cindy had some connections in the field and she had a good friend who was based in Hong Kong. “Let me handle this. And don’t bother getting people to act as your relatives. It would be too much trouble. I’ll settle it all.”

“You sure about this?” Anya was worried.

“Trust me.” Cindy gave her an assuring smile.

“Okay.” She could only let fate take its course. If Cindy’s plan failed, she could only see him in court. She would never give up on their custody.

The next two days, Anya spent most of her time in the mansion to play with the kids. Jake called her about her resignation. Anya could not mull over it with everything that was happening at the same time. There was no way she could escape so she picked up Jake’s call and promised to have a face–to–face chat with him.

After she hung up, Evan arrived at the doorstep at the mansion to pick Anya up. He was determined to do the DNA authentication. If it turned out negative again, he would give up and not pursue the two kids anymore.
