A day after the wedding, Felix was seated opposite his friend in a resort, chilling and discussing how things had been going all the while. He didn't miss that opportunity of revealing what was going on to Kelvin. He screamed in shock. "What do you think will happen? Look, Reid seems to have loved the woman after their marriage…" Kelvin gestured, his palm wrapped around the glass of wine.Felix supported his jaw with his left palm. "I know my brother more than you do, he can't just fall in love with that asshole all of a sudden when he hated her gender. But I still feel uneasy about their relationship…" He rolled his eyes. "Won't that newcomer be of help?""She should be since she desperately wants to be loved even as a newcomer. But how will you turn the table around with her?" Kelvin hit his palm slightly on the table. "Remember, Anastasia has a ground that she's standing on."Felix narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by that? Do you think I can't defeat her or what?""That lady is

"I'll be resuming work tomorrow, what about you?" Anna turned to Reid who was busy with his cell phone. She dropped her cream on the table after she was done scrubbing it on her skin. "I miss my office." She nodded, putting on a sleeveless top.It's been two days since after their wedding, and so resuming work is the next thing in line. At least, she will have to see her father again. "You miss it more than me? Wouldn't you visit my office so I can introduce you to my workers?" He dropped his cellphone and went to her. He threw his arm around her neck. "They need to see the wife of the CEO." He rubbed her shoulder.She sighed, feeling amazing. "I'll surely come over when you plan to do so, just hook me up on time. And I need to introduce you to my workers as well." She rolled her eyes, smiling."Of course. So, don't tell me you missed your office more than my dîck." He ridiculed, gazing at her face. She couldn't hold her laughter any longer. "Come on, I didn't. That's so important to
"You should know the first step to take, merge your company with hers." Mr Blake Wilson referred to his son. Reid scratched his head, he doesn't want to do this any longer. At first, he agreed to it. But now, seeing the sort of woman she's married to, his love for her wouldn't dare be underestimated. He wouldn't want to hurt her by any means."Dad, I'm not in for this. Let her company be.""Shut that crap. Merge her company with yours and take away the contract from her. Do you even know how much that contract is worth? Besides, her father must be thinking the same thing—the easiest way to restore her company is by merging them." Mr Blake scolded his son. He tapped his thigh. "After that, we'll talk about taking over her company.""What's all these about? For heaven's sake, that lady knows nothing about what transpired between you and her father…" He released a deep breath filled with anger. "The last thing I will watch you do is to take away what she worked hard for all because of wh
While they were having lunch, Reid didn't concentrate. He stared at his father for a while and hissed inwardly, thinking so hard about what to do to help Anna. At this moment, the only proof to retrieve the contract is by merging with a well-known company like his, but the fact that his father is after the same contract which Anna was about to lose is making him think twice.His mother knows fully well that without merging the companies, Anna's company will fall to the last…she doesn't wish that such merging take place. Now, it's either the companies are merged and she retrieves the contract and her company's reputation…or she will lose everything including her reputation. "Gosh! I need to sort this thing out, so that she won't lose the contract." He thought and picked up his cell phone, dropped a message to his only friend.In this sort of situation, he ought to share his problems and get an opinion. The burden was too much.He didn't have to finish his food before going upstairs.
Seeing Anna slump to the floor, Lillian stood up and walked up to her. A wide smile affixed on her face. Although she was expecting her to bleed, there was no atom of blood on her head.Her eyes were shut tight, her face pale."Bastard! You think pushing me into the pool will make you the woman you want." She cursed and walked past her.Anna opened her eyes, seeing how majestic she was walking towards the building. She stood up immediately and rushed to her, held her hair and yanked her backwards."What?" Lillian screamed painfully and turned to see Anna glaring at her. "Is that really your wish? To see me die? Is that what your mother in law ordered you to do to me?" Anna questioned, her face chiseled. She drew Lillian closer to herself, "I won't touch you, I'll slap your ass in her presence.""Let go of me. You're half naked.""It's never your business." Anna dragged her into the building, she met a housekeeper coming downstairs and obstructed her way. "Did you come in sight with my
Anna stood before the mirror packing up her hair into the pink ribbon which matched her outfit. She can't imagine sitting in the jet, heading to work and how it feels.Is that just all?Reid will be going to work with her for the first time. She has to introduce him to her staff, and then he will do that too, but the next day. "Good to go?""Almost done," Anna replied to Reid who wrapped her waist from the back. He kissed her neck. "I'll be stepping out with my wife for the first time.""I'm blushing already." Anna chuckled. "So it's true, Reid. Why a private jet? If she's that rich, why not get it herself?" His mother's voice broke out in the room. He turned to her. "Why complain? I didn't get it for Lillian right? I just hope she has something to do other than sitting in this house from day to night." He retorted. Anna was done, she picked up her handbag, held Reid and they walked out of the room. She didn't mind saying a single word to the woman. "I can't let her ruin our happin
Reid was still on his way to his office when he got a call from the pilot who drove Anna. He stared at his phone's screen for a while before picking up the call."Sir, your wife just got arrested." The pilot said to him via the phone call.He took a look at the screen again to be sure it was the pilot speaking. "Did you miss the line?" He queried, squeezing his face."Not at all sir, the corps took her away for being the culprit to the death of one Mr Jafred. I saw it with both eyes."The blood is his body drained immediately, he dropped a voice to his pilot to revise and head back to Anna's company which they did instantly. He also dropped a message to his manager who was expecting his presence soonest. Within a few minutes, they arrived at Anna's office. He climbed down from the jet after it landed and ran into the pilot who had called him."Immediately you took off, she was arrested." The pilot repeated. He glanced at his colleague who nodded in agreement to what he said."She sai
EPILOGUE“It was an order for the both of you to get married, yet you sat back and watched your fellow man take Anna from you,” Lyra screamed at Richard while he was standing before her with his palms dipped into his pocket. “Now, their divorce has been terminated and they will get married soon. What are you going to do?”He scoffed and exhaled a hot breath. “I'll wish them a happy marriage, that's all. We aren't meant to be from the beginning—and there's no way I'll drag her with my brother.” Richard stated.Her eyes grew wide. “Brother? You mean, Reid is your brother?” she walked closer to him. “Are you going to leave this state with him? His father built a company for him and he will be leaving with Anna after their wedding.”“Don't you want me to follow him there? Why do you look anxious all of a sudden?” he grinned and stepped back a bit, but she came closer again and held his hands. “Don't go with him ... you already have your own business here and it's doing well.”He arched hi

Richard was coming out of the shopping mall when he stumbled on a lady, he lifted his face and was shocked at who he was seeing. She was a total stranger to him, and her looks were scary. “I'm sorry about that..” he pleaded, there was nothing to drag when he wasn't with his men. He made a move only for him to get a terrible hit that sent him to the ground.“My name is Lyra. plan A didn't work, I think Plan B will work smoothly,” she uttered and dragged him to his car despite the looks of people. After she left Anna's residence, she visited the nearest hacker with the help of the cab driver who drove her. Anna's cell phone was hacked and she took Richard's number and then began tracking him.She must bring an end to the reunion of Reid and Anna no matter what. She drove the car herself to Richard's residence, and when his men came forward, she faked being a helper to him and would love to stay by him until he was awake. After so much contemplation, she was allowed to do so and that was
It was the first time Lyra met with Anna, and she hated it. There was nothing good about seeing the woman that made Reid stay away from her all these years, she wanted to snap her neck, but that wouldn't help, instead, it would cause more issues. She heard everything about Reid and decided to visit his father thinking that he would help out—at least, Reid should take the national company for himself ...but it looked like Anna came for the same reason as well because she overheard a little of their conversations. Now, the bitter part of it isn't that Anna visited for the same reason, she's scared that Anna will make the old man love her again and want her back to Reid and that she wouldn't want. “They are already divorced, so there's much to think about—still I'm scared that they may come back together. Anna is wealthy and famous, she has a company and can easily build Reid again...then I'll be the loser because I offered nothing.” she let out a hot breath. Her eyes caught with the c
After Anna ended her conversation with the lawyer, she decided to go visit Mr Wilson like she had said. Since the distance was a bit far and it was running late, she booked an urgent flight which took her to their town, and then she boarded a taxi that drove her to their compound.She wished not to see Mrs Wilson, the sight of her still irritates her especially when she recalls that the elderly woman had never loved her. “Greetings Sir!'' She greeted Mr Wilson who was standing at the veranda taking a look around. It's nice to see him stand on his feet without quivering, he was improving faster.“Anna!” he was shocked to see her. He threw his arms around her in an embrace. “It's been a while, how have you been?”She smiled widely. That was unexpected. “Im okay Sir…”“Come on, drop the formalities. Let's go in.” he led the way into the sitting room and offered her a seat. He also ordered the chef to prepare something for her to take which she didn't reject. It's been a while, so everyth
Anna visited Richard, knowing that her son had been there and Richard would never let her take him back, she decided to see how he was fairing. At least, she was glad that Reid was released, that way she wouldn't feel guilty anytime she recalled him. She didn't want to drive, so her driver took the car key and they drove off. Immediately she arrived at Richard’s residence and stepped into the building, Drake ran towards him like he knew she was coming. She glanced around but Richard wasn't in the sitting room—Drake was the only one in there watching the cartoon that was playing.“Where's uncle?” she asked him and he pointed towards the stairs. “In his room, he only came down once and fed me, then he went back to his room saying that he had a lot to do. He was deaf when I talked about going home to see you.” Drake narrated.She pinched her lips. “Your uncle isn't deaf, he is busy and I already told him that i'll be coming that's why.” she cautioned him and he nodded.She walked upsta
Reid hugged Anna and bid her goodbye, he went into the car and his lawyer drove off. They were heading to see his parents, that was the only way to know if what they read online was true or just a rumor. His heart wasn't in a place, he wished that it would be all a lie. Not that being their adopted child is a crime or because he feels leaving the company will be the end of his life—but the relationship is what he does not wish to see end.If this is true, then he won't have a family again, no one to talk to or call a family.His parents were having dinner when he arrived at home. They headed to meet them there. Even if they will lose their appetite because of the issue, then there's no issue.“Dad!” He hugged him from behind but he didn't respond. He wasn't shocked, that was also a way of knowing if everything was true or not. He took a seat and signaled the lawyer to do as well. “I am out because I'm innocent,” he uttered only to get a heavy glare from his mother.“Who asked you and
“No one should mention my name until I get this file.” he barked at one of his men through the phone. His mother already left, and he aimed to find the adoption file and take it to the orphanage that his mother had directed him to. He wants to do this because he believes that it's the only way for him to put down his brother and get everything to himself. “Once the adoption is dissolved, you'll have no right over my father's properties again.” he grinned.The sound of the door made him turn to face his father, he released a loud annoying hiss and went back searching for it again.“Can't you just give up? This is getting out of hand and I hate it….” his father complained. He glared at him and continued, there was no time to reply to his father, all he wanted was to see the file, yet after searching almost all the files he had come across—it was yet to be found. “Just tell me where it is. I'm trying to avoid anything that will bring you down through that bastard.” he screeched at his fa
It's been five days since Anna was hospitalized yet there was no response from her. Reid had pleaded to go visit her in the hospital, and the DOP allowed him to go with the sergeants, he was bittered when he saw Anna still lying lifeless on the hospital bed, the tears that gathered in his eyes were uncontrollable.He knelt beside the bed and held her palm, staring at her face. “You have to wake up Anna, you've slept a lot. You need to wake up so I won't be life imprisoned, you're the only witness that I have now—so open your eyes and spare me these accusations,” he muttered, hoping to get a reply from her, but he heard nothing, not even her finger moved.The electrocardiogram began making sounds that attracted the attention of everyone in the room, he rushed out of the hospital and alerted the doctor who rushed in with other doctors to check on her.“Conduct CPR!” the senior doctor ordered and one of them began it immediately. It looked like nothing was done, the vital signs were beco
