Desires Die Hard

Chapter 76

“I’ll have to leave soon. They’re waiting for me at home,” Anya finally said after a long chat with her friend. Her eyes flew towards the clock. It was past nine.

She had to go home and put her kids to bed.

“Of course. You’ve got a kid to take care of now. I won’t keep you then,” Cindy said. She was still trying to get used to the fact that Anya was now a mother.

“You should drop by Ellie’s place sometime. I’ll introduce you to Nathaniel and Eudora.”

Cindy froze momentarily. “You’ve got two of them? Are they twins?”

Anya nodded.

Cindy felt momentarily overwhelmed.

She couldn’t believe it. Her best friend had twins.

“I have to go now.” Anya finally rose from the couch. It was time to head back.

Cindy got to her feet as well and walked her to the door. “You can spend the night at my place the next time you have to work late. It’ll save you some time getting to work the next morning.”

Anya nodded.

Anya shut the door gently, then turned around and headed for the elevator.

A soft ding sounded at the other end of the corridor as she headed towards the elevator. The doors to the elevator slid open soundlessly.

Evan strode out of the elevator. He had his fingers pinched around the bridge of his nose. Anya, who had been making her way towards the elevator, stopped in her tracks. Evan froze as well.
