View MoreAnnabel's POVIt wasn't till the clock struck nine in the morning did the front door open quietly and Myron gently walked into the house.After pulling off his shoes by the door, he turned around and was startled by my still frame sitting quietly on the couch some meters away from him.He quickly regained his composure and it was at this moment I realized how good Myron is at pretending and hiding his true reflection within him.It is symbolic to the first time I met him when he hid his face behind that mask claiming to have a 'scar.' As we stared at each other now, the years I've spent with him ran past my eyes and I couldn't help but wonder how I never noticed the slightest detail all those years."Natalia-" he called softly as his lips drew up in a seduction smile. Why am I just noticing all of these details now?"What are you doing up so early?" he asked as he walked towards me, "Are you thinking of Liam again?""I am thinking about how long you've made a fool of me, Myron." I ans
Annabel's POVI couldn't sleep.I couldn't stop thinking either. I kept on weighing possible options on Liam's abductor. My only enemies are the Davis and I only just revealed my true identity yesterday.Could it be possible that to strike back, they abducted my son? I didn't think it likely.And then there is Jaggers threatening me with the life of my sister. I ran my hands through my disheveled hair and sat upright on the bed.I hugged my knees together, whispering bits of prayers for Liam in my heart. I don't know what to do except wait for the abductor to call and demand for his desire. Only then might I be able to discern who this abductor could be.I looked around my room. Since the argument with Myron, I demanded that we sleep in separate rooms. However, right now I really need someone to be with. My thoughts would be the death of me.I got up and slipped my slippers on before walking out of the door. The lights in the house were switched off except for the one downstairs.I st
"Samantha-" he began, paused and continued, "Samantha is Annabel's daughter."Vivian and Michelle's eyes widened and their lips parted in surprise. Silence hung in the air for a moment, their eyes locked on him in a defiant manner.Vivian swallowed and asked "What do you mean, George?" "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I kept this from you both. Since we'll be working for the same thing now I just thought to come clean and hold back any more secret." Mr Davis apologized but both women were not having it.Vivian thundered again, "What do you mean Sam is Annabel's child?!"Stuttering to himself, Mr Davis could pass for a crazy man. "I...I should have just killed the baby back then...I..I shouldn't have kept it alive." "Are you...are you saying that-" Michelle stammered, paused and continued, "Are you saying that Samantha is..is Annabel's unborn child whom we thought died?"Mr Davis was slow to reply but he eventually nodded his head.Michelle sank to the ground dejectedly. Ever since Annabel's
"Yes," Mr Davis agreed, "She was the one who took Annabel out years back.""And I believe she can do it again," Michelle said as a matter of fact, "We have to get the company back!"Mr Davis nodded and said after a moment of silence, "I have no idea how to reach Vivian.""I have done that already," Michelle told him, "She is on her way here."True to Michelle's words, Vivian soon arrived. Mr Davis was up on his feet with a remorseful look on his face but Vivian did not spare him a glance."Why did you want me here, Mich?" she said with a straight face, "We could have spoken at a restaurant or somewhere else? I really did not want to step my foot in this mansion ever again."Michelle went to her and held her hands, "I'm glad you did. Look, Aunt we are in serious danger.""I guessed so," Vivian said, "You sounded like someone came back from the dead over the phone.""Someone did come back from the dead." Michelle confirmed.Vivian stared at her, "What do you mean?""Annabel is alive, Au
Annabel's POVI answered with shaky voice, "Hello?""Mommy??" came a child's cry."Liam!" I screamed into the phone, tears running down my cheeks. "Liam, Cherry..where are you?"Scott and Myron drew closer to me upon hearing my words. Scott motioned for me to put the phone on speaker which I did."Mommy!!" Liam screamed again."Oh God.." I trembled hearing the cry of my son, "It's Liam..it's my son..""Who are you?!" I sobbed, "What do you want? Name it. Any amount. Just please don't hurt my son, I beg of you.""He must really mean a lot to you.." the distorted voice spoke."Please-" I begged as I trembled in Myron's arms. "He's.. he's not fully recuperated yet. He's just a child. Why would you abduct a helpless boy?!""Because I want the same thing as you." the voice paused and added, "Revenge.""Revenge?" I repeated, "I..I don't know who you are but I know for..for certain that I have never done anyone wrong unless they deserve it.""You think I care about that?" the voice boomed, "
Annabel's POVWhere is my son?"Nurse!" I screamed as I stormed out of the room. "Where's my son?! My son.. he's not here! There's no one in the room!!" Nurses on the grand floor rushed to me upon hearing the screams. One of them held me."What's the matter, Mrs Wilson?" "Where is my son?! Where is Liam?" I fumed, struggling out of the nurses' grip."Ma'am please relax. This is a hospital and your screaming is against hospital rules." the second nurse said to me."Are you insane?" I barked, "My son is missing and you are lecturing me on hospital rules?? Do I look like I give a fuck about the rules?!""Madam please-""Where is Liam?!""He should be in the room, Madam." the nurse replied, "I'm sure nothing has happened to your son.""There is no one in there," I told her, "Come look for yourself."I took her arm and dragged her along, forcing her into the room. A clear scan of the room showed that it is empty."He's not here." I repeated, my voice breaking, "Where is my son?"The nurs
Annabel's POV"Yes, father and I am not bluffing! I can prove it!" Michelle said.I straightened up and stared at her, "What are you talking about, Mich?""Admit it!" she screamed while Scott held her back, "You are Annabel. You have been deceiving us all this time! You were never dead! And to think I was your biggest fan! You made a fool of us.""Natalia," Mr Davis started, "What is she saying?"I turned to him, "I have no idea, Mr Davis.""You liar!" Michelle exclaimed as she broke out of Scott's grip and attacked me. Luckily, she was pulled back by Mr Davis.He thundered, "Stop this madness, Mich or you will regret it!" "Dad, please believe me! This woman is Annabel! The same Annabel you never wanted for your son, Scott! The same Annabel that you hated from the very core of your being!""You never believed Scott when he made this claims," Mr Davis said, "What has happened?"I turned to the lawyers and told them they could leave. Considering Michelle's rage, I knew that my cover wa
Michelle's POVMichelle gasped as she rummaged for her phone, "No! I must stop them from selling the company!" I paced back and forth, my phone pressed to my ear waiting impatiently for Scott to pick up however the phone continued to ring with no response.Trembling, I continued to dial the number but the call went unanswered after numerous attempts."Pick up your damn phone, Scott!" I screamed as I dialed the number once more and once again, it went unanswered.Tears filled my eyes as I searched for my father-in-law's number. My hands trembled and the phone fell to the ground.I picked it up and dialed the number but it also went unanswered. However, his location was visible. In panic, I ran up the stairs and grabbed my purse.I walked out of the house in haste and settled into my car. I connected the GPS to Dad's phone, started the engine and began to drive out, I could only pray that the company has not been sold out."Please God....please," I whispered underneath my breath as I
Michelle's POV"Yes, Mrs Davis. I called to inform you that it is being delivered to your house as you requested." My breath caught in my throat. All week I have anxiously waited for the DNA result. Now that it has arrived, I could barely feel my skin."Hello, ma'am? Are you still there?" the Doctor's voice brought me out of oblivion and I pressed the phone to my ear.I responded, "Yes..yes, Doc. I will be expecting it. Th-Thank you."My anxiety grew worse the moment I ended the call. I could not stay put. Despite my trembling body, I continued to pace, biting my fingers anxiously.The silence in the house did not help as well. Since we could barely afford our luxurious lifestyle, most of the servants have been dispatched save for the cook.I stopped abruptly as my gaze fell on the grand stairs. Suddenly, Annabel appeared. Startled, I moved a step back and crashed on the small stool behind me, falling to the ground.My lips parted and my eyes widened. "This..this has to be a dream..
Annabel's POV"Let me go!" I screamed as I thrashed around on the hospital bed, my hands and feet were bound. I looked around as sweat poured down my face. There were doctors and nurses cladded in white and it seemed that they were preparing for a surgery."Who the hell are you?!" I screamed my lungs out in fright, "Why am I here?! Fucking let me go!"But none of them paid attention to me. They were focused on setting the surgical instruments. My breath became ragged and heavy. The last thing I remembered was being alone with Michelle in the room. I have no idea how I appeared on this hospital bed.My gaze fell outside while I screamed for help and my eyes widened when I recognized the faces of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Hope flushed inside my heart."Mom! Dad! Please get me out of here!" I screamed.However, Mr Davis and his wife Vivian scoffed and walked into the hospital room so casually. They smiled down at me but it wasn't the usual kind of smile. It was one full of cont...
