Desires Die Hard

Chapter 10

“What I plan to do with Mr. Welton is none of your business.” Anya stared coldly at the stepsister. Her voice showed no emotions at all. She spoke to her as if she would a complete stranger.

Her stepmother and Sydney had turned up at the MacMillans when Anya was ten. Sydney was only a year younger than she was. Anya initially thought that Sydney is the daughter that her stepmother had with another man but she was proved wrong later.

Her father had been having an affair with Melissa behind her mother’s back for years. They had Sydney in secret. After her mother had finally been driven to an early grave, Melissa had joined the MacMillan family openly.

Melissa and Sydney set her up a year ago. Her father hid himself behind his own mother and kept his silence. At that moment, she had decided that she didn’t need a father like that.

“You…you’re shameless! You’ve ruined yourself and now you’re trying to ruin Mr. Welton too? I’m warning you. Stay away from him! Otherwise, you’re going to get it from me!” Sydney hissed. The young woman was green with jealousy. She envied Anya’s beauty. Her lovely and exquisite features, her pale skin, her large eyes and her cute button nose. She was like the Helen of Troy. She had a face that could launch a thousand ships.

What about Sydney?

She was pretty but she wasn’t beautiful like Anya was. That made her guts churn with intense jealousy.

She knew that beauty was what captivated men and drew them to women. She had been worried that Anya might turn up after a year’s disappearance and decide to go along with what her mother and she had lured Anya into. She might decide to seduce Evan into marrying her.

Sydney would never let that happen!
