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

    "I think this should be pending for now, I have some things to sort out before looking into it." Reid whispered to his father.The elderly man didn't get it, his son was supposed to be excited that the documents are ready, not postponing the actions they're supposed to take."Is anything the matter Reid?" Mr Blake drew back his son's attention. Reid turned back, he was already on the stairs. "You don't need to panic, it's something I can handle by myself." He replied and walked upstairs. He was indoors contacting the hackers and investigators he knew just to get proof that his wife was innocent. At night, he managed to wash up and put on his nightwear, pacing round his room in thought, while filling his stomach with whisky.He was missing her badly. No one to talk to or play with. The world seemed upside down without her by his side, everywhere was empty due to her absence."This wasn't how I planned it, Anna. I wanted to smack your ass and tell you how sexy you are. I even took a sho

    "Paraquat Dichloride was injected to the last meal he took the night he died, it kills in a twinkle of an eye." The doctor explained to Reid. He sighed and stood on his feet,dipped his palms into his pocket. "Paraquat Dichloride…" He mentioned. "How do I even get proof that such poison was injected into his meal?" He released a deep breath. "I'll give you a proof." The doctor cut in. He immediately turned. "I know you would do that, but I still need enough evidence." He got seated again. "Now I know he was poisoned, how do I show that it's true and my wife isn't responsible for the poison?"The doctor was mute for minutes, until he broke up the silence. "Check the CCTV footage, who brought the food and the restaurant it was prepared in."Reid smiled at that idea. He was well assured that it would help him in a big way. The doctor wrote down a medical report of Mr Jafred's death and gave him a copy of it, then he left.Before he drove off from the hospital, he sent to Dennis the instr

    Lillian couldn't believe it, how he gave in so easily to have intimacy with her. She was expecting a fight with him, a quarrel that would draw the family's attention. She remembered. From the first day she set her feet into the house as Reid's wife, she hasn't for one day set her eyes on Mr Blake. And she prays not to, because she wouldn't want to imagine how hot it would be that day.His palm rubbing on her ass sent relishing sensations all over her, she submitted to him at that moment, waiting to be savored by him like he has been doing to Anna. "I'll dazzle your pussy until you beg for mercy." He whispered into her ear.She groaned silently, taking a lustful stare at his face. Her mouth agape.He made her lie on the bed, as he gradually pulled down the bum short she was putting on. His finger trailed on her thighs as she spread her legs apart."Do you really want this Lillian?" He asked her for the last time.She nodded, spreading her legs the more.He glared at her damped pussy a

    "Become the CEO if you can." Reid whispered to Felix who clenched his fist angrily."I won't sit back and watch you merge babel with hers, she should fight for herself." Felix remarked and walked towards the door."And the tape, aren't you gonna give it to me?""You can go to hell, Reid." Felix snapped and dashed out of the room.Reid climbed on the bed and laid down, his heart troubled. "That tape. It's the main one, I guess he's trying to threaten me." He rolled to the other side of the bed. "Why do I feel uneasy all of a sudden? Anna, I miss you badly." He murmured, almost in tears.He couldn't get his heart and mind off her. Everything about her came streaming in his mind, as he recalled the memories he shared with her those few days."Was he behind the getting married thing, knowing that I hate females, he wanted to weigh me down and take over? Now he's sad that I got married to Anna, everything is just confusing." He mumbled beneath his breath. He grabbed his phone beside the pi

    "It's not too late for you to step down Anna, like seriously, you're causing troubles for my brother." Felix gestured, he walked closer to her. "Just end this marriage."She looked off. "What happens if I don't end it? Tell me why you can't just let me have a rest in my husband's place?"He narrowed his eyes. Did he just ask him a question? Her husband's place? That's too ridiculous. "Aren't you ashamed to be married to your ex-boyfriend's brother? How will you feel if I let him know?""You dumped me!" She slammed. "If you hadn't cheated on me, our relationship wouldn't have ended and your brother wouldn't have been my husband…." She shrieked at him.What a mess! Is he trying to get on her or what?He clutched his palm, rubbing them against each other. "I can see you're growing wings, because you think getting married to the CEO of babel's group would bring back your reputation huh?" He laughed and clapped his hands. "The game begins now, let's see who will be the loser." He remarked a

    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
