Watching Anna swim in the pool of tears, Reid lifted her into his arms and laid her on the bed. Seeing her that way caused him so much pain.

He laid beside her, his right palm wiping the tears on her cheeks. "I have no intention of divorcing you, I only wanted to know how you would react to such news." He uttered, smiling.

Anna sniffed and adjusted, she wanted to know one thing. "Do you believe that I'm cheating on you?"

He shook his head, "Until I see a turgid evidence, even with the evidence, I'll still find out the truth by myself." He comforted her.

She felt at ease.

He had concluded of finding out the truth by himself, first by seeing the so-called Williams physically, but with the look of things, it wouldn't make sense going after the young man. He already concluded by acting less blinkered, if truly she's cheating on him, and the so-called Williams is in Bitterness about it…then he should come for him with proof of their relationship.

He caressed her cheek.

Once again, good story premise, but the grammatical errors are really hard to overlook. I'm educated, so my brain continues to try to auto correct. I'm still reading it, though, so it has value. ...

    The next day,"So now, you're heading to the business board?" Anna referred to Reid who was putting on his shoes. He put it on and walked to her, his arms wrapped around her waist. "I'll go and hear them out." He whispered to her.They both got dressed and left the room, they were almost late. While on the stairs, Reid sighted his father sitting on the sofa, he wondered why he was out so early in the sitting room…that was unlike him."How are you this morning dad?" He greeted, while standing before him, holding Anna tightly."There's nothing good about this morning when you lost the merging documents that I spent time and money working on." Mr Blake Wilson referred to his son. Reid was shocked, how come he knows everything already? "Look dad, it's a coincidence and I'm looking into it right away. I was sure it was in my office box, can't just tell how it disappeared." He explained to his father, but that's never the issue. "I only want you to prove that my effort on getting those

    Pacing around the sitting room, Jane was awaiting feedback from the business board. She kept glancing at her cell phone in order not to miss their call.She had paid them in quantum, believing that they would easily sign Anna out of her company. Since Reid pranked her by divorcing Anna just for her to let go of her father, she won't keep mute over her company. "No matter what it will cost, I'll surely take over that company so she will be idle like I am now. Besides, her husband is the CEO of the wealthiest company…" she thought and rolled her eyes.At a time, she walked closer to the framed photo of Anna and Williams. She couldn't help but smile widely."But why wasn't he convinced that Anna was cheating on him with someone else even after seeing this photo?" She gestured, her facial expression changed.She turned to get back to her cell phone when she came in face with Williams. "Maybe, he kept mute because I haven't shown up, that's the greatest evidence." Williams snapped and got

    "Look! I'm never here to jabber with you, you have just twenty four hours to put everything in its place." Reid warned the business board chairman. The torment has become so much that he can't tell who to dodge as it stands.The chairman looked up to him and dropped his pen on the table, he was confused on who to obey…mother or son?"This is an order from your mother.""And my mother is now the CEO right? Can you just listen to yourself like you're out of your senses…" Reid swallowed bitterly. "Okay, my father who ran around for those documents will be counted as stupid huh?"The chairman could see the anger roaming in him, but he couldn't control it. "You're doing this for that lady you call your wife? There are women who need such help, or aren't you aware that she's the lady whose nude pictures went viral? Merging your company with hers is a lot of risk, you might even lose." His voice is polite, but a bit serious. Reid glared at him and gripped his collar,how dare he mention his w

    Mrs Wilson alighted from the car and was about climbing the veranda when a car drove into the compound, she turned to see that it was Reid driving recklessly. "He must be crazy!" She mumbled and waited for Reid to step forward to her. The young man locked up his car and matched towards the veranda only to see her mom standing there. "I saw you here when I was driving in—and you're still here waiting for me?" His brows arched. Even though he was done with the business board chairman, that anger still roams in him. Reminiscing about the statement Felix made about Anna's fertility, he felt like tearing him into pieces. "Where are you coming from?" Mrs Wilson twisted her face.He glared at her for a while and released a loud hiss before walking away from her sight. Just like he has every right to go to places without anyone's permission—no one dares interfere in his matter without permission too.Mrs Wilson walked into the building after his son and ran ahead just to obstruct his way fr

    Hours elapsed and it was the next day. Anna got ready to leave for work with Reid who was busy pacing round the room while making calls. She grabbed her handbag and marched closer to him, then gripped his left palm."Good to go?" She furrowed her brows in excitement. He smiled and nodded, then got hold of his office box.They left the room together in their car when Lillian hurried towards them. She has been jogging since she woke up—and has been outside all this while so she will get to see Anna before she leaves."You two are already leaving without giving mother a reply to her order yesterday…" she pulled her lips into a smile, taking a glance at the couples.Anna twisted her lips, she wasn't getting what she meant by an order from her mother in law. "Any idea of what she's talking about?" He queried Reid who was seated in the car already. He shrugged his shoulders, "Just come in, let's leave!""What the heck! You can't just leave like that—I see Anna is narrow-minded of what's goi

    The manager bumped into Reid's office to see his boss stiffened at a place staring at the floor. Not just that, he noticed tears on his cheeks. "Sir…Sir, are you okay?" He shook Reid who came back to reality. He gulped and wiped his face, took hold of his cell phone and left his office immediately—he didn't bother saying a single word to his manager, and the young man was dumbfounded. Whatever it is that made his boss shed tears must be critical.Reid was driven to the hospital which was sent to him via text message, he hurried into the emergency ward where he was sure Anna must be lying."Mr Reid, you need to calm down…" the voice of a young man drew his attention. He turned to see a doctor standing two feet away from him—he rushed and clutched his collar.Tears he couldn't hold kept streaming down his cheek, it was uncontrollable. "It's all lies right? Where is she?" He screeched, staggering the doctor.The other doctors around rushed to him and pulled him away from the doctor. One

    He was still pacing round the room when his father came downstairs, he glanced at him and was about to leave when his father called him back. "I overheard a loud noise here, that's why I came down—did anything happen?" Mr Blake Wilson referred to his son. Reid shook his head, since Felix already left a few seconds after the corps took Lillian, there was no way he would find out what went on minutes ago. "Everything is fine. Just take a rest!" He muttered and faced the door."It's been a while since we discussed your wife and her company that has been merged with yours…"He glared at his father and released a loud hiss. If only he knows the feelings he was battling with at the moment—he won't bring up that matter. "Any problems with my wife? I'm in a haste, dad…" He blurted, his voice a bit deep that one would easily notice his mood, but his dad was less concerned—all he wished was to talk about Anna and her company. "Uhmm! It's about the contract. Any news about it?" Reid gritted

    A few seconds after Reid left the lawyer's office, he came in again to ask for a favor. He needs to go stay with Anna because she needs her most in that condition. "Follow them to the police custody!" He said to the young man who twisted his face on hearing that Reid will always do things in his favour especially when it has to do with something crucial.He shook his head, "I can't! They can do the work without my presence…" the lawyer stated.Reid tapped his finger on the table, "I know how stubborn Lillian is, and Felix might as well go to the DOP—but your presence will make everything go smoothly." He narrated to the lawyer, trying to make him understand things.He thought about it for a while and agreed to it. The fact that Reid is the reason he's in that position is one reason he should respect his decision. At least, the young man gives him the respect he deserves even though he was the one who put him through education and so many other things. And recalling that Felix is a di

You mean, Reid is your brother?” she walked closer to him. “Are you going to leave this state with him?

    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
