Desires Die Hard Chapter 86
Desires Die Hard (Anya and Evan) by Beryl Occam
Chapter 86
Anger churned inside Anyaâs gut as she stormed out of Evanâs office.
She didnât manage to make it to the elevator. Sydney was waiting outside for her.
Her stepsister walked up to her and stood in her path as soon as she saw Anya step out of the office. She stuck her chin in the air. There was a taint of something dark and contemptuous in her voice as she spoke. Anya wanted to slap her so badly. âAnya. We need to talk.â
She wasnât a part of the MacMillan family anymore. Sydney had no right to order her around.
âMake it quick. Iâm busy,â Anya said curtly.
Sydney couldnât believe the attitude that Anya was giving her. Her face darkened with fury. She glared at her sister and clenched her jaw. âI want to know why Evan asked for you.â
âItâs to do with work, of course. Why else would he ask for me?â Anya said before reaching out and punching the button for
the elevator.
âWork? What kind of work?â Sydney didnât believe Anya at all. There was something fishy going on here. Her sister had stepped into Evanâs office emptyâhanded. What kind of work could they be discussing?
Was this one of her attempts to seduce Evan?
Jealousy reared its ugly head inside Sydney. All reason were cast aside as she started yelling at Anya like a madwoman. She didnât care how badly she might look anymore. âYouâre such a whore, Anya. Have you forgotten all about the oath your made? Youâre dead, do you hear me? Youâve seen Evan and youâre going to die!â
Anya blew up instantly. That was exactly what Sydney and Melissa wanted, wasnât it? The both of them and her grandmother would love to see her dead. Dead like her mother.
What had they ever done to the MacMillans?
Why must the family treat them this way?
Her father had cheated on her mother. Melissa had cheated her mother of her rightful place in the family. Anyaâs mother had been forced to divorce her father and leave the MacMillan family. They were the ones who had wronged her mother.
Why should Anya and her mother suffer the consequences?
Did they honestly think they could push her around?
She wasnât a pushover.
She was going to make them pay for what they had done.
She was going to avenge her mother!

Chapter 86
Anya resisted the intense urge to give Sydney a hard slap. Her voice was as cold as winter when she spoke. âWhy are you bothering me? You should be asking Mr. Welton why he called me into his office.â
âStop harassing me and harass him instead!â
Anya let loose her anger in a rush of words. The doors to the elevator slid open then.
She marched right in.
Before Sydney could make a grab for Anya and drag more answers out of the young woman, the doors had slid shut.
She nearly got her fingers caught between the doors.
Sydney pulled her fingers back in alarm. In a burst of uncontrollable rage, the young woman threw her foot forward and
kicked the elevator doors hard.
She ended up the sole victim of her rage.
Her heel nearly snapped into two. Meanwhile, the metal door to the elevator remained unscathed.
Sydney folded herself in half as she squatted down. She could feel tears welling in her eyes.
She hated Anya so much. How she wished her stepsister would drop dead like her mother had!
Shane had left when Anya returned to JK Couture.
But the enormous bouquet comprising 999 roses and the Chanel bag that cost a hundred thousand dollars were still there.
on her desk.
The sight made Anyaâs head throb painfully.
She didnât want those gifts at all.
She was going to be branded as a loose woman if she accepted those gifts.
She couldnât believe how unlucky she was. She seemed to be surrounded by unwelcomed suitors.
She was adamant to not accept Shaneâs gifts.
She had to locate a delivery service and have these gifts returned to Shane immediately.
At that thought, Anya headed to the reception. They probably had a list of delivery services and their hotlines somewhere.
Jake emerged from his office then. He had seen everything, including Shaneâs attempt to woo Anya with roses and ant expensive bag.
He knew he wasnât as rich as Shane.

But Jake believed that Anya wasnât the sort of woman you could buy with money. He wanted to know what she really felt
about Shane.
