Desires Die Hard

Chapter 88

The commotion at work died down.

Anya was nearly done with the design of Mdm Welton’s hat.

She had decided to ignore her terrible and ridiculous suitors and, instead, redirect her attention back to work. All she wanted to do was to work hard at her job and, of course, find a way to make the MacMillans pay for what they had done to her and her mother.

Everything else could wait.

While Anya might have shoved everything else aside, her suitors still had her on their minds.

Especially Evan. He had made up his mind that he would have her and that meant she wasn’t going to escape his clutches.

Soon, it was time for lunch.

Anya decided she would head to the canteen later for lunch. Right now, she had to pump some milk.

Her breasts had swelled with milk.

She waited until everyone else in the office had left for the canteen for lunch before sneaking into the washroom with her tote bag. Then, she slipped into one of the cubicles.

She kept herself busy with other things while she pumped her milk.

Nathaniel was growing up faster than she had expected and had begun to speak his first sentences. Anya had to make sure Nathaniel and his sister got the best of everything in life.

She was adamant that they not suffer or lose out on anything.

They had no father. All they had were Anya and Ellie.

They were already missing a fatherly figure in their lives.

She couldn’t let them miss out on anything else.

Now that she was working, she couldn’t afford to spend as much time with them.

Ellie was getting older as well.

Taking care of two children must be exhausting for her.

It would be great if she could have the kids enrolled for morning classes or childcare and have someone professional look after them. That would lift a burden off Ellie’s shoulders as well.
