THE SPOILED BRAT " We need to talk," You mean argue? Because that's the only thing we ever do, talking was different from arguing and my Dad didn't know how to talk, maybe with others but not me." I'll be inside Mr. Leonard," Anna said and I nodded at her before she walked into the hall." What is it, father?" I asked with a groan." How many times have I told you to talk to me with respect?" Okay, I was seriously not in the mood for this, I couldn't handle this right now, I just wanted to walk into this hall and be with my woman, I didn't want to be talking to him, for all I know men were already looking at her, I didn't want that." Remember what I told you," He said like he expected me to remember the unimportant thing he said." Dad I've told you whatever it is you and your business partner are scheming I'm not going to be a part of it," I said." Cole, Jerry, can you guys not start right now, people are watching us and both of you don't look like you're involved in a friendly
COUPLES GOSSIPING" Fix this?! Seriously?!" I said in anger as I paced the kitchen and the kitchen staff just looked at me looking as confused as I was." Can you guys do something about this real quick, we have guests and we cannot disappoint them by not having enough for them to eat even worse the CEO's mother specifically asked for this, so whatever you can do hurry up," I said to them and I was about to run my fingers through my hair but I stopped myself, I didn't want to ruin the hair Gabby spent so much time dressing." We'll take care of it, madam, there wouldn't be a problem feeding the guests, we have more than enough chicken taquitos we haven't brought to the table, as soon as we saw that she started making trouble I signaled the cook not to bring any other thing on the table, the ones she threw on the floor is a waste but it's not enough to cause a shortage," The head chef said.I couldn't help but breathe in relief." This means we don't have to run around looking for how
NOT TODAY It was time to dance and yet I still hadn't seen any sign of her, I was beginning to get worried." Won't you ask me for a dance Cole?" Mirabel asked, I didn't want to, I wanted to dance with only Anna, not some loudmouth." I don't think I want to dance Mirabel," I said to her as I sipped on the champagne." Come on Cole, everyone is dancing, we can't just stand watching them," She said with a pout like she thought I was going to find that attractive." You know there are a lot of men here that would gladly want to dance with you, leave me alone," I said as I brought my phone and I dialed Anna's number, it was ringing but she wasn't picking up.Where the hell was this woman? Why does she like to make me worry?I was about to walk off and go look for Anna when I was blocked by my father.Just great.I looked at my mom and she looked like she would rather be anywhere than standing right here then I turned to my Dad and the man standing beside him.My dad had that look in his
OBSESSED FREAK" Tell me everything that happened when he came by," I said as I started walking downstairs heading towards the exit." Okay, so I heard a knock on the door and wheeled myself to go get the door, I opened the door only to see him standing there all dressed and I asked him what he was doing here he told me he had a date with Anna which I know isn't true, I told him Anna wasn't home and he got really pissed, held my hand and started harassing me, I told him Anna went to her company's annual ball and that was all, he left but I have a feeling he was going there," She said and it sounded like she was going to cry." Hey Bella, don't worry we're going to find her and he's not going to lay a hand on her, because if he does, I'll send him and his obsession to the grave,"" Please help me find her, please," She said," It's okay, there's nothing for you to worry about, trust me, she'll be alright," " Okay, please call me as soon as you find her, it's a good thing Mom went to b
DECEIVING HIM" Derick stop this please," I said as I watched Derick happily move around the kitchen as he prepared dinner, he was acting insane, what was I saying, it was confirmed that he was already insane, how could he just kidnap me like that, how was it even possible that nobody noticed a thing?" Derick lemme ask you a question, how the hell did you get me out of there without anyone noticing a thing?" I asked. Has the world become filled with people who don't care about each other anymore?" It was simple," He said with a shrug. I watched him with confused eyes." What do you mean?" I asked." When I was carrying you someone asked where I was taking you to, I just told him you got drunk and you passed out because you don't have a strong head, we both laughed about it actually, then I took you to my car, you see even the universe supports me," He said." You've got to be kidding me," I said." No I'm not, everything I just said is true," He said as he continued stirring what he
BURSTED Fuck, what do I do now? The last time something like this happened, I was lucky to have escaped by running into his room and shutting the door, but here, how am I going to get away? I needed to think real fast.He knows why he didn't take me to his house because he knew very well they might look for me there.He kissed my neck as his hands slowly started to move down my body.Think fast Anna, think fast.“ Uhm, wait, wait, wait," I said as I quickly pulled from his hold.“ What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Yes, you did everything wrong. I thought to myself but not like I was going to say that out loud." No nothing, I just think we should have a few drinks and talk before any other thing, we haven't really talked as couples for a while and it isn't good for our relationship,” I said trying to make my face as innocent as possible.“ But we can have the drinks later, I want you now baby," He said and I felt my heart beat increase. His hand came to my neck rubbing sensual
RUNNING FOR DEAR LIFE I froze, unable to move my legs as the dogs watched me. It wasn't until they growled at me that I realized I was supposed to be running and without a second thought I broke into a run.I was screaming at the top of my lungs running without direction, I just wanted to be away from those dogs.They were after me like mad creatures and I couldn't help but scream as I saw one of them catching up to me real quick. Believe me I never knew I could run this fast. That's why they always say you never know what you can do until you're faced with a situation. I took another turn and when I turned I couldn't see the dogs. Did I lose them or were they playing a trick on me?I didn't slow down, I kept running when I suddenly heard the sound of paws following fast behind me.And here I was thinking I lost them.I had to hide, that was the only way right now.I quickly took a turn as I went to hide behind a tree and covered my mouth immediately.What the hell was Derick think
GETTING SICK Nathan and I started looking around if Anna was anywhere around but there wasn't any sign of her, my heart was beginning to hammer in my chest like it would fall off.“ Where the fuck could she be?" I asked as I ran my fingers through my hair. By now the rain had stopped falling but it was cold and I was worried she might be out there all cold and lost.I couldn't even hide the fact that there was something going on between Anna and me again.The worry on my face was enough proof.“ Calm down dude, we'll find her," Nathan said as he rested his hand on my shoulder.“ When? We've been searching this goddamn place and calling her name for how long but we haven't been able to find her. What am I going to do with myself if something were to happen to her?" I asked with a sigh." It going to be okay,” he said, " I think we should go back, I don't think she's here, maybe she was able to escape and she's somewhere safe," Nathan said. “ But what if she's not?"“ Can you stop t
JUSTICE “ Tag, you're it," Andrew or should I say Sammy hit his father as he ran away and Cole chased after him trying to tap him.I couldn't help but laugh at his little laugh, it was filled with so much joy. Cole ran to me and I dodged taking the route my son took and he laughed, turning back to see if his father was close.“ Got you,” Cole said as he caught Andrew." No, no,” Andrew laughed as he tried to get away from his father." Mummy to the rescue, tag, you're it,” I said as I touched Cole, making him our target as Andrew and I started running after him.“ I'll get you daddy, mummy go that way,” Andrew said as we both blocked Cole and tackled him and he fell to the ground laughing." Okay you both win,” he said as we both fell to the ground on each side of him laughing." Sam baby,” Cole suddenly called as Andrew turned him smiling." Yes Daddy,” he said," How would you feel about Anna being your mom?” he asked," Cole,” I warned, I don't know if this was the right time. I
REUNION “ I really don't know how to feel about this, should I say I'm jealous?" Liam said as he held my hand and I sighed." I'm sorry Liam, I'm…"“ Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about, you told me right from time, I was just hopeful. I can't stop you from being happy. It pains me that I'm not the one you chose but if you're happy, I'm happy, you finally get the family you've wanted. If I'm not happy for you, what type of a person would that make me? I wish that you never get to cry again, you now know your son, you're with the father of your child who you love. As much as I hate to say this, the guy is crazy about you and I'm sure he'll protect you," he said and I couldn't help but smile. “ You're the best person I've met Liam, you're so understanding and caring, I promise you that you'll find a woman who deserves your love, believe me," I said and he nodded as he took my hand and dropped a kiss on it." Thank you Anna, this means a lot,” he said and I smiled." I'll return to
CONFESSIONS AND FORGIVENESS As soon as I heard that she was awake I practically ran out of the house as I got into the car.I drove out of the house, heading straight to the hospital as I clenched my hands on the steering wheel, impatience filling me.I got to the hospital as I parked the car and ran into the building. I stopped at her room door trying to compose myself before I knocked.I quietly opened the door and walked in as everyone turned to me but the only eyes that caught my attention were her beautiful eyes.Those brown eyes that have haunted me for years.“ Hey," I greeted as the Liam guy bent to her and kissed her cheeks before walking out of the room, her assistant following.“ I'm glad you're awake," I said, not knowing what else to say. " Thank you for saving me,” she said. She didn't have to thank me for anything, I'd do anything for her." Why did you do it?" She suddenly asked and I looked at her in confusion.“ Anna, I'd do it all over again, I can't see you in tr
THE LIFEBLOOD OF SACRIFICE “ We had to flush her blood to take off the poison because it was just too much and taking off blood meant we had to give her more blood but the problem now is we're out of blood that matches hers,”“ You can take mine!" The three of us said at the same time.“ As long as it matches, it would be to her advantage if we can get a donation from all three of you," the doctor said. " What are we waiting for? Let's go,” her assistant said in impatience as she followed the doctor first while I just leaned on the wall waiting." You can't blame me for something I didn't know. You can't imagine how I feel right now knowing that my son is the son the woman I love has been looking for for over four years, you don't know what I've been through so you don't have the right to judge me. You don't know what I had to endure for the past four years. I'm not telling you this for you to like me, I'm letting you know that you have to know someone's story before you conclude wh
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH I can't die, not when I have a chance of seeing my son. Not now.She stood up with the syringe in her hand as she flicked the tip and looked at me with a sinister smile.“ I've been waiting for this part, she's going to know how it feels like to have needles constantly being pierced into you," Derick said, looking at me with excitement.“ You see this little needle, I'm going to inject it into you nice and slow and you're going to die nice and slow, nobody will know it's me, and Cole will be mine and mine alone and as for your son, he's going to call me mom for the rest of his life," she said as she started walking towards me and I shook my head, struggling to be free.“ If I were you, I'd keep calm or this might cut a vein and you'll just bleed to death, either way it works for me,” she said as she bent to my neck and I tried to move back but I couldn't. “ Enjoy," she whispered before she stabbed the needle into my neck and I felt the substance swim inside my
SHADOWS OF THE PAST “ Sam! Sam!" I called as I ran into the house like a man whose house had been set on fire.“ Sam!” I called as I ran upstairs to his room but he wasn't inside." Martha! Martha! Where's Sam?” I asked his nanny and she looked at me in confusion." He's in the garden, his grandpa came to see him,” I didn't wait a second, I was already running towards the garden and I couldn't help but breathe in relief when I heard his laughter.He was alright. But anger immediately boiled in my body when I remembered the reason why all this happened in the first place was here in my house." Sam!” I called as I ran to my son and hugged him," You're okay, you're doing okay, let's go,” I said as I took his hand and he turned to look at his grandfather." Dad, I want to play with Grandpa a little," he said as I carried him.“ Maybe some other time," I said and without sparing my dad a glance I walked into the house." Take care of him, make sure nobody takes him, if anything happens
SECRETS UNCOVERED Although I couldn't see his face, I couldn't mistake the voice. How could he have a hand in this? I thought…I thought. I was just so fucking confused.“ I thought you told me you changed? Then why are you here?" I asked and he laughed, a crazed type of laughter, like someone who has lost it.“ You thought I changed, you're so funny Anna, after what you did to me?” he said as he moved closer to me and I caught a little glimpse of his face, despite the darkness.“ You ruined my life," he said, “ I did no such thing," I said as I struggled on the chair. " Really, you did nothing, are you fucking forgetting the fact that I was sent to a mental asylum because of you?” he asked in a dangerous voice that sent shivers down my spine." You brought it upon yourself, that was the right place for you because you were fucking crazy," I said and he laughed. " I'm going to show you crazy,” he said as he started walking towards me." Stay where you are Derick don't fucking come
THE TRUTH “ What did you just say?" I asked but he pointed at the file I was holding.“ Spent a lot of money to get that because she fucking paid a lot to have their mouth shut and have them do what she wants. I don't know why Anna would mix with people like this," I pretended not to hear those words as I slowly opened the file.My heart was pounding in my chest afraid of the truth I'd find in there.I brought out the medical report which has Mirabel's name and every single record about her as I started going through them.My breath caught in my throat when I reached where it said she couldn't have a child because of her damaged womb. Then how come Sammy?But she was pregnant, I saw her baby bump, she did all the things pregnant women did. Was that…was that all an act?No, no, it can't be, could it.I was fucking confused.And Anna.“ Now you know, right? So where's she?” he asked me and I came back to my senses.If he was looking for Anna and she wasn't with me with nor have he seen
FIST TALK “ I thought you were happily married, why do you look so scared?" I asked her as calmly as I could and she blinked before she sat down in front of me. That's so rude she didn't even ask for my permission.“ Listen up you bitch, Cole and I have been happily married for four years and we have a son, he loves me, do you hear that? He loves our son and not even a stupid slut like you can break our family." she said and I looked at her with a raised brow. “ If he's so in love with you you don't need to warn me, besides I'm not interested in your man, stop being dramatic and get out of my sight, I came here to eat not listen to your pathetic voice," I said and she scoffed as she folded her hands glaring at me. “ If you say so, if I see you anywhere near Cole or my child, you'll regret knowing me, I bet you," she said before she stood up and left.Once a bitch, always a bitch.“ I'm sorry ma'am, it took a little time to get ready," the waitress said as she dropped my food. It wa
