ANNABELLE’S POV Back home, I slept almost immediately as my whole body trembled.Waking up the next morning, Miriam had questions for me. And I couldn't answer because I was afraid and confused.I had almost lost my life, I gulped down the third glass of water in a space of one hour.“You never told me there's a tank in your abdomen,” Miriam joked and I glared at her. She didn’t know what I had been through, honestly I thought I wouldn't be back to see my child. “Okay, something happened and you aren't saying anything Belle. Talk to me.” she urged.Curiosity was evident on her face but I couldn't tell her anything. She'd be dead if she uttered the slightest information about it. “Nothing Miriam, I was honestly tired. I love the job and yes I made sure the Villa was clean.” She squinted her gaze and I wondered if I had uttered a believable lie. One thing I was terrible at,was lying. She nodded and I heaved a sigh of relief before turning towards Michael who was focused on his toys.

Just then, we froze in place, gazing keenly into each other's eyes. I jolted back to reality but she remained dumbstruck like it was a movie scene. “Are you blind la

ANNABELLE’S POV"How was your night, sleepyhead?” I heard Miriam ask Michael, while I yawned.“It was great, I slept well and I dreamt of that big bad wolf, that made mummy fall,” He blurted with cute fury in his tiny almond orbs. Miriam glanced at me with a surprised expression. “Who's this wolf?” “No one you should be worried about,” I said and went to the kitchen to make coffee for myself but she followed closely behind me.“Did he do anything to you, Belle.” She asked with anger evident in her eyes and I faked a smile to make her believe.“No he didn't, trust me. Maybe Michael was just having a bad dream.” “Okay then, since milady said so. It's best I go and start getting ready for work.” I immediately turned to her. “Work? But you haven't even had breakfast.”“Don't worry about me, I'll eat when I'm done with the job, just relax Belle. I want you to feel comfortable and spend more time with Michael.” She was all smiles and I wasn't happy with it. Just a glance and I knew she

I held him firmly as we headed towards the baggage claim area, knowing he was quite energetic and could wander out of my sight.Leaving San Francisco was the best decision I ever made because remaining there triggered memories I was trying so hard to forget.
