FINDING OUT THE TRUTH “ Uhm, Mirabel?” I asked and she nodded. Okay this was the part where I had to decide if I wanted to keep my head or lose it. When Anna was angry it was like walking on eggshells.“ Yeah, Mirabel, why was she here, she was here the other time and just outside the company I met with her and she was so mean,” she said," Look baby that woman is a pain in the ass too, I don't know how to get rid of her, we use to be friends but all she had done lately is to keep annoying the hell out of me, don't worry my love, I'll take care of her,” I said," But what does she really want? She wouldn't just come here without a reason,” she asked," Babe, can I take the painkillers first?" I asked, using the lie again and it worked. She immediately kicked into action like she came back to her senses.“ Oh my God, I'm so sorry babe, I should have given you the medicine first before I started my ranting," she said as she opened the tablets and took out two before giving it to me.Sh
WIPING HER TEARS “ Was that why she was here? because they want you to marry her,” Anna asked as she walked further into the room." I tried to warn you,” Nathan whispered. I must have been so angry about Mirabel's sudden call and I didn't even notice her walk in.“ Baby I…” I didn't know what to say, I couldn't keep lying to her, I really don't know how much she heard." I think you should tell her the truth. I'll leave now let's meet some other time,” Nathan said as he stood up and took his bag then he gave me a light nod in encouragement before offering Anna a smile although she didn't return it like she normally does so he quietly walked out of my office, leaving me alone with Anna. “ I knew something was wrong, I just knew it but I waited, hoping that you would tell me what's happening but you lied to me, I have a feeling she came to see you this morning, were you expecting her? That's why you sent me away,” she said," No I wasn't, I wasn't expecting her, I've been trying to t
WILD FOR HERI sat on my chair with a heavy heart, I just had that feeling in my guts telling me something worse was coming that would shake our relationship and that was scaring the shit out of me.I never knew a day would come when I'll be caught in the rich folks' mess of loving a rich man whose family wants him to marry another.It was frustrating.I looked at my computer screen but I couldn't see anything because my mind was occupied and I was just staring at the screen blankly.What if they succeed in forcing Cole to marry that woman? I wouldn't want him to leave his company, dream and family and follow me, that would be selfish but at the same time I didn't want to lose him.I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, is this how true love is supposed to be, come with a lot of obstacles? I forced my mind to concentrate back on my work as I tried to get things done. After about two hours of working, I heard my stomach growling in hunger and I couldn't help but
HER FEARI parked my car in front of the house but I couldn't bring myself to step out. My mind was clouded with so many thoughts and my heart was full with fear, fear of what would become of us.I don't want to lose him, even thinking about it makes my heart clench.I sighed as I threw my head back in exhaustion, just when I thought I could finally be happy, I hear that my boyfriend could possibly get married to another. I finally stepped out of the car as I closed the door and walked inside the house. It was pretty quiet meaning they must have all gone to bed.I took off my shoes and walked to my room as I opened the door and walked in closing it behind me.“ You smell of sex," I heard Bella say and I stopped in my tracks and turned to her.“ What are you talking about?” I asked, feigning innocence and she just looked at me with a raised brow before bursting into laughter." You guys had sex in his office, didn't you, you little seductress,” she said with a chuckle.“ How did you k
THE NEW HOUSE “ Wow Anna this is beautiful, look at the garden, I can just sit here and stare at it, your boyfriend sure has good taste," Bella said as she moved around the house in her wheelchair.“ Yeah, of course he has good taste that's why I'm his girlfriend,” I said with a hair flip and Bella chuckled.There were people which I was a hundred percent sure were sent by Cole to help us move, they carried our things inside as I showed them where each item was to be kept. “ This is nice and the environment looks safe, at least I would be less worried about your ex boyfriend coming back and putting your life in danger," my mom said from the kitchen where she was making snacks she offered to make for the people working.“ Yes Mom, he's not going to bother me, he's getting all the help he needs and even when he gets released he's not going to find me," I said and she hummed.Derick didn't end up going to prison, they said that it was a wrong place for him to be that he was depressed w
PROVING A POINT “ What are you doing here?" I repeated in case she didn't hear me the first time and instead of giving me an answer she just looked at me from head to toe with that look I was familiar with. That look she gives when she's telling you you're nothing like her and perhaps you should kiss the ground she walks on. “ I don't know what he sees in a tramp like you,” " Excuse you,” I said as I looked at her up and down, " Please leave my house, I don't like bitches standing at my doorstep," I said and was about to close the door but she pushed her way inside. " What is wrong with you?” I asked as I looked at her in anger, " Get out of my house or I'll call the police,” I warned but she just chuckled, " Go ahead, call the police so I can tell them how you're sleeping with your boss who happens to be my fiance," she said as she folded her hands looking at me. “ You sound like a cheap whore to me," Bella suddenly said from the sitting room. “ And who the fuck are you?"
HIS FINAL DECISION “ You're kidding right?" I asked as I turned to face him and he shook his head. My eyes went to Bella who had her mouth open in shock.“ I'm not joking, if I'm going to introduce you to the world as my girlfriend then I have to introduce you to my parent's first, my Mom already know you but our relationship has been a secret and I can't let that continue," he said, I had to blink a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming and he was right here in front of me saying he wants to take me to meet his parents.“ Cole, I'm not sure this is a good idea,"“ Of course it's a good idea," Bella chirped in and I turned to her with a glare. She just shrugged and looked away.“ Thank you Bella," Cole said,“ I'm done hiding, I should have done this earlier, hiding didn't do me any good, I want you Anna, not any other woman, that's why I've decided that we should have dinner with them,” he said, “ What about…” Cole placed his finger on my lips silencing me," Shh, can we just fo
TAKING HER TO HIS PARENTS I was currently pacing around as I waited for Cole, my hands were sweaty and my mind was thinking the worst.“ You know with the way you keep pacing you're giving me a headache,” Bella said with a groan, “ I've told you everything will be alright, just calm down," she said and I sighed before I walked to the couch and sat down with her, careful not to wrinkle my dress.“ I'm trying to keep calm but my heart just won't stop beating,” I said and as if to prove my point I rested my hand on my chest.“ Breathe Anna,” she said as I took deep breaths in and out. “ Good," she said before she took my hand and squeezed in encouragement.“ How do I look?" I asked her, I've asked her this same question countless times. I had decided to wear a red knee length dress that had net sleeves. I got it last Christmas during the discount sales but I didn't end up wearing it. Cole sent me a red dress too but it was too extra. I want to be me when I meet with his parents, I don
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
