Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan)
Chapter 150

Chapter 150

Evan stared at Anya's reserved self. Her meek demeanor pleased him very much.

For a moment, it seemed as if Anya was indeed his lover.

He shifted slightly away from the young woman but kept his arm around her slender waist. His arm was like a vice around the young woman that kept her in her place. His eyes were dark with anger, the message within clear. Anya was his. “Mr. Brown, you seem to not only have your eye on my land. You have your eye on my lover as well.”

The smile that Shane gave Evan dripped with insincerity. He had no plans to get into a fight with Evan in public. He didn’t want to declare an open war when he wasn't confident of his chances of defeating the Weltons. All he could do was swallow his pride and laugh a liar's laugh. “Mr. Welton, you must be mistaken. I'm not putting any moves on Ms. MacMillan. I was interested in engaging her services as a designer. That's why I invited her out for dinner.”

“Are you forbidding Ms. MacMillan from having an ordinary meal with a potential client? Surely, you're a bigger man than that, Mr. Welton.” The look in Shane's eyes was sly and calculating as he stared Evan in the eye.

The revelation of Anya’s romantic involvement with Evan had surprised him.

But the moment of shock soon passed and was replaced by cool calculation and thought.

He s

swiftly arrived at a conclusion. There was something fishy going on here.

Evan's claim that Anya was his lover seemed preposterous.

It was utterly ridiculous.

Shane didn't believe a word of what Evan had said. Evan could have any woman he wanted.

Anya was

was simply a young disgraced woman who had been driven out of her family because of her tainted reputation and loose morals. She had nothing. She had neither influence nor wealth. Why would Evan be interested in her?

Was Anya hiding something? Perhaps that was what had caught Evan's interest in the first place. That was the only possible reason Shane could think of that explained why Evan was interested in Anya.

Evan always made sure he came out on the better end of the deal.

Naturally, Shane wasn't going to get into a fight with Evan in public. He would play along.

“Is that so? I'm not opposed to Anya discussing work with you, Mr. Brown. But wouldn't it be more appropriate if you conducted your business meeting at JK Couture tomorrow instead?” Evan said with a lazy drawl that did nothing to hide

the steel in his voice.

There was no way Shane could keep Anya there any longer. His lips twitched upward as he smiled limply at Anya and Evan. “Of course. I'm sorry if I caused any misunderstanding”

"Apology accepted. Let's go,” Evan said before pulling Anya along with him and marching out of the fancy restaurant.

Shane remained rooted in his seat. All he could do was watch as Evan led Anya away. There was nothing else he could do.

He wasn't a particularly generous man though. Someone had robbed him of a good night. He wasn't going to forgive and forget.

Naturally, he was going to have a fit.

The man swung his arm across the table.

A deafening cacophony sounded in the restaurant as plates were sent flying. They shattered into countless shards upon. impact with the hard marbled floor.

The commotion caught everyone's attention. The other patrons in the restaurant and the waiting staff snapped their heads around and stared.

Shane didn't care that they were staring. He yanked his collar loose and glared at the ruined mess of a dinner before him. Then he cursed out loud.

He wanted Anya too..

Evan might have won this time round but Shane didn’t mind. He was going to crush the Weltons. When that happened, Anya was going to be his.

Anya had just been dragged out of the establishment by Evan. The scene turned the heads of everyone on the street.

It made sense. Evan was one of the most good-looking men in Nordeny.

He was also an extremely tall man.

Dressed in a white shirt and a pair of dress pants, he looked like a movie star that had stepped out of a Hollywood movie.

Naturally, he was going to turn heads. Especially those of women.

Anya allowed herself to be dragged down the street. Somehow, they ended up on an empty stretch of the street next to a wall. Anya looked around and realized that there was nobody around. That was when she tugged her arm out of Evan's fingers and pulled herself away. “Thanks for getting me out of a tough spot, Mr. Welton.”

Having uttered her thanks, she turned away and was ready to leave.

Evan gave the woman a long deliberate look. “Is that all? Are you planning to leave?”

As soon as he spoke, two bodyguards appeared out of nowhere and stood in Anya’s way. Naturally, they had been lurking in the shadows all along.

Anya found herself trapped. She wasn't going anywhere soon.

She glared at the towering bodyguards before her and bit her lips. Then, she turned around and stared at Evan. The look on her face was dark. “Mr. Welton, I need to get home.”

Evan pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket leisurely, then pulled a single stick out. He stuck the cigarette between his lips, then fished a lighter out of his other pocket. With a loud snap, he flipped the lighter open. A tiny flame erupted from the tip.

The tip of his cigarette lit with a bright orange glow.

Evan took a long drag of his cigarette. There was a dark, unfathomable look in his eyes. His voice was slow and measured when he spoke. “Have dinner with me.”
