Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 138

"I can give you anything you want except marry you."

Kevin had made himself clear—he was never going to marry a woman he didn't love.

Not wanting to talk to Cherry anymore, he hung up the phone without hesitating.

He frowned, visibly irked. He looked towards the direction where Anne had just left. She was nowhere to be found and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Where is she? Where did she go?"

he asked coldly as he glanced at the secretary.

"Miss Anne headed that way, southeast,"

the secretary said respectfully, lowering his head in an attempt to avoid Kevin's cold gaze. "Then what are you doing still standing here?

Hurry and get her back!"

Kevin spat, his eyes sharp as knives.

It seemed that his secretary was getting more and more incompetent. Why did he need to spell everything out for him?

"Okay, Mr. Kevin. I'll do it right now!"

The secretary quickly ran off upon noticing that Kevin was losing his temper.

He could tell that Kevin cared about Anne very much but it was obvious that Kevin was clueless. Kevin seemed at a loss as he was only driving Anne farther away from him.

Sighing helplessly, the secretary drove off to chase after Anne.

As Anne walked along the road, she found herself getting angrier the more she thought about the situation. Once again, she was set up as last night, she was raped.

When she recalled that she hadn't even seen the child yet, she felt even more frustrated.

The black Rolls-Royce followed closely behind her. The secretary honked the car horn when she didn't even look back.

Anne was already in a bad mood so when she heard the car honk, she became more agitated. Not even looking back, she made her way to the sidewalk.

"Miss Anne, where are you going?"

the secretary asked loudly, poking his head out when he failed to elicit a response from her.

Hearing the secretary's familiar voice, she stopped in her tracks and turned around in a huff, obviously irritated.

"Why are you following me? Why do you care where I go?"

she asked spitefully before turning back around in an attempt to leave.

"Miss Anne, Mr. Kevin asked me to pick you up. You should get in the car right now."

The secretary sounded a little anxious. He could tell that Anne was indifferent to him all thanks to what his boss had done to her.

She stopped and turned to look at the secretary, anger burning in her eyes.

"Tell Kevin I'm not coming back. Wherever I go and whatever I do is none of his business."

'He wants me to come back? Why should I listen to him? Why does he think I should do whatever he asks me to do? What am I to him?' Anne fumed inside.

Seeing the angry look on her face, the secretary sighed and negotiated,

"Miss Anne, please don't make things difficult for me anymore. You know what kind of person Mr. Kevin is. If I don't bring you back with me, he'll fire me."

The secretary knew that with Kevin's unpredictability, it wasn't far-fetched to assume that he would do such a thing.

"That's none of my business. Why are you telling me that?"

Anne snapped, purposely looking away.

What did Kevin's secretary getting fired have anything to do with her? Did she owe anything to him? Did she have to suffer for his sake?

"Miss Anne, I think you're misunderstanding Mr. Kevin. He really wants you back. He cares about you. That's the only reason why he did all those crazy things!"

The secretary was beginning to worry about Kevin. It seemed that he didn't stand a chance with Anne anymore. If things went on like this, how could Anne ever get back together with him?

The secretary just said that Kevin cared about her? How ridiculous! How could he say that? All he ever did was torture her.

"You can leave now. I'm not coming with you. Go and tell him that from now on, we should just stay away from each other." With that, Anne stalked off.

Needless to say, the secretary was distressed. Kevin might punish him since he wasn't able to successfully bring Anne back.

After giving it more thought, he decided to follow Anne and continue to persuade her but to no avail. Anne was adamant on her decision to not come with him.

From a distance, an icy blue Ferrari sped over and pulled over next to Anne.

Sam slowly rolled down the car window. He looked a little pale as the dark circles under his eyes were evident—it seemed as if he didn't get enough rest.

"Anne, I finally found you." He was pleased to see that Anne was safe and sound.

"Sam, what are you doing here?"

She was a little taken aback at Sam's sudden appearance. Even then, she was glad to see him.

"You called me yesterday and I was worried about you. I left early this morning to look for you. Are you okay? Did Kevin do anything to you last night?"

Worried, Sam was a little restless knowing that Anne had spent the night with Kevin. He couldn't help but suspect if she had already agreed to get back together with Kevin.

She understood what he meant. When she thought back to how Kevin had raped her last night, she turned pale but kept her composure.

"No, nothing."

She didn't want to tell him what had happened last night. After all, the two of them weren't close enough for her to tell him about such a topic.

"Get in the car. Let's go home."

The look of guilt on her face did not go unnoticed by Sam. He decided to shrug it off. He didn't want to overthink things.

"Okay."

Anne got in the car without hesitation, knowing full well that Kevin's secretary was still behind her.

"Miss Anne, you can't go with him. If you do this, Mr. Kevin will get angry."

The secretary's anxiety was at an all-time high. If Kevin found out that not only did he fail to bring Anne back but also let her leave with Sam, he would kill him.

"She's leaving with me. Go and tell your boss that I'll do everything in my power to protect Anne if she wants to stay away from him,"

Sam said firmly, a cold look on his face.

Anne gazed at Sam, shock written all over her face. She was mildly flustered. Didn't he know that Kevin was the worst type of enemy to have? He was basically starting a war with Kevin.

"Sam..."

she began nervously. However, Sam cut her off before she could finish what she was going to say.

"I'm serious. As long as you want to stay away from him, I'll do everything in my power to help you. I won't let him disturb your peaceful life."

To him, Anne was the most important person in the world. He wasn't holding back in protecting her as much as he would.

It didn't matter if he had the capabilities to do so. More so, he didn't care if Kevin was too powerful for him.

As her eyes bore into his, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. It was obvious what he was trying to say as guilt welled up in her heart.

He had done so much for her. How would she pay him back?

Smiling faintly, he started the car and drove off.

The secretary watched as the car sped off, grimacing. He didn't even want to think about how angry Kevin would be if he found out what had just happened.

Sighing to himself, he started the car and drove back to the villa.

As soon as he entered the living room, Kevin glared at him.

"Where's the person I asked you to bring back?"

Kevin asked coldly. The first thing he noticed was that Anne was nowhere to be found.

"Mr. Kevin, Miss Anne was taken away by Sam..." the secretary finally said after hesitating for a while.

"Can you repeat that? Who took her away?"

Upon the mention of Sam's name, Kevin was instantly filled with rage. It was obvious what Sam was trying to do with Anne. Who wouldn't be angry?

"Mr. Kevin, Sam also said that if Miss Anne wanted to stay away from you, he would do everything in his power to help her."

The secretary lowered his head as he spoke.

"Help her stay away from me? How is he so confident? Does he really think he stands a chance against me? Is he trying to get himself killed?"

Kevin's charcoal eyes dimmed.

"Mr. Kevin, what are you planning to do next? Miss Anne has already been taken away. I don't think your plan's going to work anymore."

The secretary looked at Kevin worriedly. Originally, Kevin had wanted to spend time with Anne hoping that she would fall back in love with him. Anne being taken away by Sam wasn't part of the plan.

"I'll get her back!" No one could take his woman away casually.

"Mr. Kevin, what are you going to do?" the secretary asked cautiously as he studied Kevin's solemn face.

"Go and get her back!" Kevin uttered sharply as he strode out.

For a moment, the secretary froze in place. When he had collected himself, he quickly followed Kevin.

Meanwhile, Sam and Anne sat across from each other in the villa. He glued his gaze on her, looking eager.
