By the end of the day, Reid left Anna with no assurance of returning to the hospital. The only favor he did was to visit Mr. Grande and announce her daughter's condition and how she needs to be taken care of.

“Is she not your wife any longer? You shouldn't even leave her side.” Mr Grande yelled at Reid after he complained about Anna's condition.

Reid pouted his lips angrily, he didn't want to talk about what was going on with her father. Everything will be just between them and no one dares interfere. Even though it seemed like he already believed what Lillian had leaked, a part of him was still confused. He was still bothered about whether to believe Anna or not.

Quite right, he heard the statement she made while with the nurse in the hospital, but he has no proof to believe her just like she doesn't have as well. Looking at what Lillian narrated about Anna's secret, there were few things he could hold firm as a proof that it was almost the truth.

    Her feet stiffened at a spot as she stared at Reid, Anna couldn't believe that the man she had never had issues with would turn out to be a monster to her. She sniffed and wiped her face. “I still insist that I'm innocent, and I'm sure you won't come back acting nice when the truth unfolds.” she uttered and went back to the chair she was seating when they came in.Their presence shouldnt disrupt her work, even though it's so painful. When she was almost done with what she was doing, she took a glance at the back to see Lillian putting on her clothes—lying freely on the bed.She gulped and decided to keep calm. She was completely done with her work.Reid was standing beside the wardrobe when she shut down her PC, packed up the files she was working on and put them into her handbag. She approached Lillian who was busy playing games on her cell phone—grabbed her leg and drew her out of the bed.“What do you think you're doing?” Lillian yelled while on the floor. She stood up immediately

    “I didn't mean to act nice, just saving you from his wrath.” Reid uttered, seeing the way Anna was staring at him, he perceived how shocked she must have been to see her defend her even when their relationship was disorganized. He didn't mean to do that, but he can still tell how and why he acted that way.“Stop the stares and go to bed…” he referred to her,but she handed the key she was holding to him and climbed on the bed. Reid was short of words, he didn't know whether to leave the room like he had wanted or stay back. “Is this a trap or test? What does she have upstairs?” he contemplated but couldn't come up with any reasonable thoughts.He laid on the bed and cuddled her, having in mind to leave after she fell deep asleep.“What do you think you're doing? Lillian will be pissed off if she sees you holding your abandoned wife this way…” she uttered, her voice sounding weak. He took a look at her face and stretched his lips. “Just sleep! I'll leave after you fall asleep.”“Disgust

    The next day, Lillian got dressed and claimed to go see a friend at a boutique, Reid insisted on dropping her off. She tried as much as she could to convince him not to bother. “Now that I'm caring about you, you wish to kick me off huh?” he arched his brows.She swallowed deeply and blinked twice. “That's not what I meant—just that you're going to work, and dropping me off might cause you to be late.”“I am the CEO and I have a manager, so even in my absence the company will still run its business…” he grabbed his cell phone. “Wait for me in the sitting room, i'll be there soon.” he walked out of the room.Lillian knew he was going to see Anna, but she didn't react. All she hopes is that she already has him at the back of her palm, so there's nothing that Anna will do to draw him back to himself easily.When Reid reached his room, he was shocked to see the room empty. He checked every corner of the room to see if she was hidden somewhere, but the room was completely empty without a t

    Reid watched Anna as she insisted on not giving him the documents, he left the office but wasn't feeling comfortable. He wouldn't blame Anna either, the young lady is trying to protect her properties from her enemies—but then he needs to do this, he needs to have the documents handed over to his lawyer before things get out of hand.He went back into the company building again and made use of the elevator that took him to her office lane, but immediately he stepped into the passageway leading to her office, he sighted her leaving the office with her manager.“Right target!” He smiled and sneaked into the office immediately after she left with her manager. Fast enough, he began searching for the files and found them on the last drawer of her table—then he left with it and made use of the elevator again. He left immediately to his lawyer's office and dropped the file on his table. “Keep it safe and give it to no one—I'll come for it at the right time.” he twitched out of the office, kee

    While Anna was at work the next day, she got a call from her father. It's been a while they spoke to each as Reid ordered her just for the safety of her father—she picked up the call smiling widely. “How have you been dad?” she dropped the pen she was holding.Her father chuckled. “Im very fine, seems like you aren't aware that i'm back? Reid didn't tell you? He came telling me that you've been in the hospital and he would love me to go look after you, but I was against it. He should take the responsibility since you survived the crash…"Mr Liam Grande stated.Anna gulped, believing that Reid must have forgotten to tell her since her father was back before the incident and misunderstanding took place. “Im very fine now, you don't need to bother coming over—i'll come over after work and we'll spend some time together.” she stared at the phone screen to be sure he was still on the line. “I was lucky, the plane was already landing when it began crashing, the heavy air broke the glass and

    After so many arguments between the two couples, and so much pleading from Reid—Anna didn't bother to see the sincerity in him, all he cared about was that he came all the here just to get her back home. The last thing she would do was to care about how he has been faring in her absence, besides he never cared about her feelings all these days he's been displaying his stupid acts.She threw the car key to her driver. “Get back and tell my father that im not returning, and then you should also get the neccessary things i left behind there,,,” she ordered her driver who bowed to her, then she turned to Reid—”Get on your fucking feet lets go, dont just try anything stupid again or you wont like my actions.” she walked past him to the car.He did quick and stood up then hopped into the car immediately. “I'll work with you today…” he uttered and stretched his lips into a smile. “Who cares?” she snapped and looked off.Until they reached her company, she said nothing to him. Even when he br

    While Anna laid on the bed half asleep, Reid sneaked in and hopped onto the bed. “Whos this?” Anna turned immediately to see him staring at her eyeball. “What are you doing here? You should be with Lillian now, you know that right? I already gave you dinner—so she should have the rest.” she screeched at him.His face was covered with pity, he lacked what to say but had no intention of stepping down from the bed to talk more of leaving the room.“I'm talking to you, Mr Reid. go back to the main building and have a blissful night with your concubine, because you already divorced her and then brought her back when you realize she's the one for you and not me…” she still yelled at him, expecting him to get angry and leave the room.He wouldn't do that, not when he wished to be with her again. Staring into her eyes continuously, he could sense anger roaming in them—he could feel his heartbeat faster than usual, anger expressed vividly on her face.“I'm going nowhere—it's all my fault by th

    “I'll replace you at work today, no need of stressing yourself. I'll order one of the housekeepers to come over and look over you while I'm absent…” Reid stated, referring to Anna who laid on the bed with the blankets wrapped around her. After having a blissful night with Reid the past night, she woke up with sickness—nausea and vomiting all together, feeling feverish that the air conditioner was turned off because of her.She insisted on being present at work, but Reid was against it. She was stressed up and already needs to take a rest.“My manager should hand over the necessary files to be worked on to you so you can get them for me. I don't want them to compile while I'm doing nothing here.” she stated to his hearing since he was fully against her being present at work.Reid got dressed and kissed her lips before leaving the room. He headed to the main building and ordered one of the housekeepers who seemed close to Anna to go look after her wife. There was a lot roaming in her he

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
