Desires Die Hard

Chapter 63

What a vicious oath! Only a woman as vicious as Sydney could’ve thought of such an oath. Anya stared quietly at the woman. All she wanted to do right now was grab the glass of water on her desk and throw it at Anya’s face.

She wanted to tell the woman to get out of her office.

But she couldn’t do that. She had to swallow her pride and bide her time before she fulfilled her ambitions.

Anya knew that she wasn’t powerful enough right now. She couldn’t act rashly.

Honestly, her stomach turned at the thought of making that oath.

But she had to stop Sydney from harassing her any further, Intruding into her personal life and dragging her precious kids and Ellie into the mess. She shoved down the abhorrence she felt towards Sydney and uttered the oath.

A look of satisfaction settled on Sydney’s face. “I’m going to hold you to your word.”

“I’ll hold you to yours too. Stay away from me. I don’t want you in my life.”

“Do you think I want you in mine?” Sydney raised her eyebrow at Anya in disbelief before spitting out viciously. “You think. too highly of yourself!”

“You can go now.” Anya didn’t want to spend another second with her.

The sight of Sydney brought up memories of her own mother.

They were the reason her mother was dead. They had killed her mother,

She would never forget that!
