Desires Die Hard

Anya’s phone buzzed then. She grabbed it and saw a text. It was from Jake, her boss!

He was at her apartment block downstairs. He was waiting for her to go to work together.

The v

young woman stared at the text dumbfounded. She seemed slightly dazed. Why was Jake downstairs?

“What’s wrong. Anya?” Concern flashed across Ellie’s eyes as she caught Anya staring at her phone. “Did something happen?”

“No, it’s nothing.” Anya pulled herself out of her stupor and shook her head.

“Well, come over here and have breakfast. You u have to get to

to work. You can’t be late.”

“Sure, Ellie.” Anya collected herself, slipped her phone back into her pocket and headed to the dining table to have breakfast.

Her composure contradicted the confusion that was plaguing her. Why would her boss pick her up personally and drive her to work? That didn’t seem right. In fact, it felt slightly inappropriate.

Anya’s thoughts wandered as she ate her breakfast. She couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that Jake was waiting downstairs for her. Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Eudora were playing with their toys in the living room. They had been done with their breakfast.

After some time, Anya was done with hers too. The young woman didn’t want to keep Jake waiting. She hugged Nathaniel and Eudora, gave both of them a kiss and got ready to head downstairs.

The children burst into tears as as she left. She could hear them at the door, trying their best to get out of the apartment and go after her. She heard their loud cries as she walked away from the apartment. Their wailing was breaking her heart. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She wouldn’t leave them behind if she didn’t have to. She had to work and earn a living. Anya took a deep breath and marched towards the elevator.

She got downstairs. She couldn’t hear her children’s weeping anymore and she felt slightly better. Anya began making her way towards the entrance of the building.

She walked up to the door and caught Jake’s car parked outside. Her pace slowed down as she stared at the Audi Q5 outside. A man she had barely known was waiting outside her aunt’s apartment for her. She didn’t exactly like that feeling.

It didn’t matter if that man was Jake.

He might be her boss and a decent guy, but…she was a woman with two kids. She had to keep her kids a secret. She didn’t want the Weltons to find out…she didn’t want Evan to find out about her children. Who knew what he might do? He might try to get rid of them.

It was too risky. She couldn’t afford to take the risk.

She stared at Jake’s car silently. Instead of approaching the vehicle, she pulled her phone out and sent the man a text. “I’m so sorry, Jake, I just got on the bus. I’m on the way to the office now.”

Jake’s reply came within seconds. “You left? That’s early.”

Anya texted him back. “That’s right. I’m terribly sorry.”

Jake replied. “Don’t worry about it.”
