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

    Reid rushed out of the building immediately to the main one in order to get his necessary belongings. He didn't want to bother Anna so much about packing into the main building since Lillian was staying there—he wouldn't want her to get annoyed any longer.He got his belongings that he needed most and left the building while his parents watched him–mouth agape, not knowing what to say to him. He bumped into Felix immediately he dashed off the room, the young man looked frustrated, the look on his face was something else. When he tried stepping an inch away from him, he obstructed his way.“What's the matter with you?”“Don't tell me you're heading to spend time with her.” Felix complained, trying to hold his brother's hand but Reid shifted backwards. “When will you come to your senses and let go of that…..” he bit his lower lips and faced the other side.A sudden smile appeared on Reid's face, he was expecting him to complete the sentence but he didnt—heaven knows he wouldn't leave him

    Reid didn't want to take the case too far because he already knew who was behind the poisoning—his aim was to be completely done with his new house, so Anna will pack in there with him once she's out of the hospital. And just like he wished for it, the engineer and architect was finally done with everything after three days.He visited Anna in the hospital with the lunch he got for her from the nearby eatery. The young lady was already so strong that she was eager to leave the hospital. She can't wait to pack in with Reid in the new house so as to have not only privacy…but peace of mind.“This is noodles, i know you've missed it.'' He placed it on the table beside the bed Anna was staying in. She sat up and drew the table closer to her, then unsealed the package. “I missed it, more than three days without taking noodles.'' She exposed her teeth while unsealing the cover of the plate.She gobbled on it—her favorite food, while Reid watched her.“You said you would visit the quarters bef

    It took Reid thirty minutes before he returned to the boys quarters. While he opened the door, happiness was overloading him, and he was expecting a hug from Anna because he believed she must be too weak to prepare something for dinner…and so, she got dinner from the eatery while returning.But to his greatest surprise, Anna was seated on the floor, weeping uncontrollable like a child. He dropped what he was holding and rushed to her immediately only for him to be welcomed with a thunderous slap. He rubbed his cheek, yet to believe that he was slapped by his wife.Seeing that Anna's mood isn't bright, rather teary, he calmed down in order to know what was going on. He squatted down, tried holding her hand, but she took it off. “Stay away from me. You rapist…” she cursed, her heart overwhelmed with sorrow. She struggled and stood on her feet. Reid was shocked, he still didn't get what came to his wife just within minutes that he left. “Why would you call me a rapist? I am your husband,

    At 10 am the next day, Reid was already seated with his lawyer as they discussed the matter. He still couldn't believe that all he saw the previous night was true, nor did his lawyer believe it.“I watched the pictures twice. This is so complicated and irritating, because the only time I knew I met her was along the passageway in the resort. She had a towel that I had to order for her in the nearest boutique…” he gritted his teeth.The lawyer heaved a big sigh and shook his head. “It's indeed complicated, I don't even know where to start now.” He touched the pen on his table and let go of it. “Did you drink yourself to stupor that night? That can lead to such a thing…” the lawyer queried him but he hissed. “I can't even remember tasting alcohol that night, I was busy avoiding myself from the ladies that wanted to stick by me—so, how come I did that?” he bit the side of his lips.“It's fine, I'll still come to the end of it. Just give me sometime.” The lawyer picked up his cell phone an

    Seeing the way things were moving, Reid had no choice than to sign the documents, then shifted them to the lawyer. He took a good look at the building before departing from it. Not under this earth has he ever imagined of losing his wife, talk more of the company he struggled to the last to merge and secure be seperated.“If that's how you want it—if this will make you happy, then I don't regret signing it, because your happiness matters to me.” he thought as he stood on the road, waiting to board a flight. There was no need to go back to the lawyer again, he was finally divorced by his wife, one thing he was dodging came to pass..so he dropped a message for him.He was going home, not even to his office. Those wealths seemed meaningless to him without Anna, he might even go crazy or misplace something while in the office—so going back home to battle with his demons alone and in a secluded place will be the best.“I'll never get married again. No one woman will be like you Anna, and no

    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
