Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 

Meanwhile on the other end of the city, in a quiet spot near Deep Water Harbor 

Shane sat in a black Rolls–Royce parked in the shadows 

The young man stared expressionlessly out of the window of his car and into the darkness, where the Deep Water Harbor would be Construction had not yet commenced. 

He had had his eye on this piece of land. But unfortunately, the land belonged to the Weltons. 

Shane had been searching for an opportunity to get his hands on the piece of land. Every time, Evan would intervene at the most opportune moment before he could succeed. That had happened the last time when Evan had bought a textile mill next to the piece of land 

Shane had been eving that factory as well. He had had plans to purchase the textile mill too 

But Evan had done it before Shane could 

Now Evan had complete monopoly over the piece of land. If he managed to build a harbor, he would be able to create a new shipping route that would grant him access to other cities 

It would be another step to fulfilling the man’s ambition of expanding the Welton empire 

Once he built an international port, he would be able to crush the Carters easily too 

The thought of that made Shane frown. His future seemed precarious 

He wasn’t going to let the Weltons seize dominance over the Browns. He wasn’t satisfied with being merely one of many rich families in the city 

His ambition was to become the most powerful family of the Nordenic Quartet. He was the one who was going to take 

over the Welton empire 

Shane fell into a contemplative silence. His sharp eyes darkened. His long, slim fingers tightened into fists. He wasn’t going to let Evan have his way 

He was going to make sure the harbor never got built. 

Shane stared out of the window. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and barked out an order to his driver. “Start the 

car. Let’s head back home 

The driver nodded instantly and started the engine without a moment’s delay “Yes, Mr Brown” 

The low rumbling of the car’s engine sounded in the night and faded away as the car sped off into the darkness 

In its wake was a trail of white smoke that had been emitted from its exhaust

Day broke. It was a bright and sunny day today. The warm golden light of the morning sun spilled into Anya’s apartment. 

Anya had had a restful sleep. Her eyes slowly fluttered open as she eased into wakefulness. 

Instead of her vanilla white ceiling, the young woman was greeted by the sight of two adorable chubby faces. Two sets of huge eyes blinked at her. She could see the happiness in them. 

Nathaniel and Eudora immediately realized that their mother had woken up. 

Their small hands hugged her cheeks while kisses landed on her face. The twins wouldn’t stop calling for their mother as they kissed her. “Mommy… Mommy…. 

Anya felt a surge of love and bliss fill her inside. Her precious angels were by her side. They were safe. Nothing could compare to the feeling of assurance that she felt as she basked in her children’s presence. 

She couldn’t lose them. 

Anya reached out and wrapped her arms around Nathaniel and Eudora tightly. “Hey, sweethearts, why are you up so early. today?” 

Nathaniel and Eudora kept extremely regular hours. 

They all shared similar bedtimes. 

However, while Anya would wake up around six every morning to get ready for work, the twins would continue sleeping after their mother had woken up. 

They would wake up around eight in the morning 

instead. 

But somehow, they had woken up before their mother did today. 

“Mommy… phone…” Nathaniel understood what his mother had said. The boy pointed at the phone resting next to his mother’s pillow. He hadn’t learned the word ‘cellphone‘ yet and, therefore, called it a “phone” instead. 

Anya knew what her son was talking about, of course. Her phone must have rung. 

She would put it on silent mode every night before she went to bed though.
