Desires Die Hard

Anya cleaned up and got changed inside the presidential suite before she hurried back to Ellie’s apartment.

Ellie called her many times last night. Since she had passed out, she did not answer a single time. Ellie must be worried sick.

Anya quickly arrived at the apartment entrance and took out the keys to open the door.

Ellie was inside the living room playing with the children when she heard someone opening the door and promptly guessed it was Anya. She stood up to wait for Anya to come in.

The door opened. Sure enough, it was Anya.

Ellie looked excited to see Anya. She pulled Anya’s hand worriedly to check on her. After Ellie was certain Anya was perfectly fine, she finally asked in relief, “Anya, where did you go last night? I called you so many times but you did not answer. I was worried sick.”

If Anya did not come back today, she might call the cops.

“I'm so sorry. I had to entertain some clients last night… I was busy discussing the project with them until very late at night.” Anya rarely lied to Ellie unless she had no choice.

Just like the current situation she was in. She could only tell Ellie a white lie, “My boss banned us from making personal calls, so I couldn't pick up.”

Anya explained guiltily. Since Ellie trusted her entirely, she did not suspect anything as she said, “I see. Since you did not sleep a wink last night, you should get some rest.”

“Oh yes. Does this mean you don't have to go to the office today?”

“I do, but I have half a day off and only have to go in the afternoon.” Anya nodded and headed to the living room with Ellie.

Her children were sitting on the living room floor playing with wooden blocks. The moment Anya walked over, her children stood up and tottered over to their mother. They swayed Anya’s arm as they hugged her with their chubby little arms and shouted sweetly, “Mama! Mama!”

“Kids… I am so sorry for not spending the night with you.” Anya squatted down and carried Nathaniel and Eudora in each arm as she apologized.

Nathaniel and Eudora could tell their mother was sorry, but they were not at the age where they could speak well. They could only hug Anya tightly and babbled unintelligibly.

Their mother was the best person on earth, so even if she came back late, they would not get angry about it since they loved her.

“Anya, are you doing overtime again tonight?” asked Ellie as she sat down with Anya.

“Probably not.” She reckoned that Jake would not take her out to entertain clients tonight.

“Good.” Ellie smiled.

“Let me go breastfeed them first.” Anya undid her shirt and breastfed the children.

Anya watched as her babies clingily curled up in her arms as she breastfed them and felt overwhelmed by joy. She had to do a good job and give her children better lives.

The children were full in 15 minutes and sat around Anya as they continue playing with the building blocks. Anya sat by the side and played with them.

Ellie noticed how pale Anya looked and said, “Why don't you get some rest? Otherwise, you will be too tired to work.”

“I will go in a minute.” Anya was genuinely tired.

She was still feeling giddy ever since she got drugged and felt as though she did not sleep a wink last night.

Anya continued playing with the children for 30 minutes more before she headed back to the bedroom to wash up and catch some sleep. She slept well and only woke up at midday.

Anya recalled she had to get to work, so she woke up and hurriedly washed up, and left for the office

However, she happened to bump into Evan again. This time, they were in the same lift again. Anya did not want to come close to him and cause any misunderstanding, so she kept squeezing into the corner.
