Annabel's POV

I glared at him, "You attempted murder, Myron!"

"I didn't do anything," he denied, "How could you accuse me of such, Natalia?"

"I know you, Myron," I answered, "I know what you're capable of. Out of jealousy, you tried to murder Scott."

"Natalia, that was an accident for god's sake! Contrary to what you think, it could not have been planned. It could have happened unexpectedly. Perhaps the driver was distracted or something-"

"No, Myron." I whispered underneath my breath, "That was no accident. I saw it. There's no way in hell that the driver of that car knew that Liam would bolt unto the road suddenly. His target was Scott, and Liam got in the way. Not to mention the fact that there was no one else on that road except I and Scott and Michelle."

Silence hung in the air as Myron stared at me with an expressionless face.

"You're worked up, Natalia," he spoke calmly, "You need to rest."

I shook my head pitifully at him.

"It better not be true, Myron," I told him, "I will h

    Annabel's POVI smirked, "Oh, I am dead serious Princess."One of the executives spoke, "Mrs Wilson, you might be the top shareholder of the company but Mrs Davis has been helping to lead this company long before you joined it. She has every right to remain the advisor of this company.""And you must be her errand dog, Mr Gilbert?" I countered, "I'm sorry to break it to you but Mrs Davis here is no longer Mrs Davis. She is divorced."The Executives gasped while Scott simply shut his eyes and shook his head."Since I now have the final say in this company, she will resign her position as advisor immediately."Vivian looked towards Mr Davis with a plea in her eyes. Her body trembled when Mr Davis looked away and gave her no response.The fire bubbled up inside of me. I could describe how she felt very easily.

    Michelle's POVWe were all seated in front of the TV however none of us could actually stare at it for long. It was humiliating and shameful to see those demeaning comment on our family.These comments came from reporters, bloggers, hateful people and of course, rivals. A day has passed since Mr Davis got arrested and yet none of us could summon the courage to even pay him a visit.The least we could do was call and send a message hoping his lawyer would get him out somehow.Having lived a life of luxury and none of shame and humiliation, this was certainly a difficult time for all of us.Nathan grunted as he picked up the remote and switched off the TV.Vivian was the first to speak, "I can't believe this is happening.""You wouldn't have had to believe it if y'all had believed me when I said that Natalia is Annabel."

    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

    Annabel's POVMy belly churned and squeezed inside of me as I sucked in air, unable to believe what I just heard. All of this has to be some kind of dream, I need me to wake up.Disconnecting the IV needle from my hand with so much force, sent blood rushing uncontrollably out of my hand."Annabel!" Scott was beside me in a jiffy but the pain was nothing compared to the one I felt in my heart. I stepped out of bed."No.." I cried, "It can't be..no, we didn't lose her Scott! She was...she was right here," I held my belly while I sobbed, "She was okay..waiting to be born in a month's time."Scott moved a step towards me, fearing that I might do something crazy."Annabel please..please calm down. We..we have to be strong. We have-"I shook my head vehemently as my gaze fell on the surgical instruments I'd seen the night before. I pushed everything to the ground while screaming my lungs out."Noooooo!! My poor child!!! Oh God..please no!!" hot tears streamed down my cheeks, "It's not true

    Annabel's POVI woke up the next day feeling weak and drained. I had lost a lot of blood when I pulled the IV needle and the pain in my heart was too much for me to bear. I still can't believe that I'd lost both my mother and my child.Even though she is not my biological mother, Mrs King took me into her home and raised me with the love and care that a mother would give her child. I owe her my life. I owe her everything and that's why it hurts even more."You're awake," Scott said as he lowered himself and came in for a kiss but I looked away. He straightened up and said, "Do you feel okay? Do you want me to call the doctor?"I looked at him with tears shimmering in my eyes, "Why won't you believe me? Have I ever lied to you, Scott?""Annabel please!" he moved away from me, "It's already hard for me to cope with the death of our child. Stop making this more difficult. Dad has nothing to do with all this. Why are accusing him?"I stood up from the bed and even though my legs wobbled,

    Annabel's POV.The next day was my mother and daughter's funeral. Earlier before, I found that the hospital which conducted my mother's autopsy was the Crofwell's hospital.Michelle's father, Mr Crofwell owns the hospital. I was not surprised, both he and Mr Davis are partners in crime. They must have worked together to forge this autopsy report.However since today is my daughter and mother's funeral I did not throw a tantrum. I also said nothing to anybody while hurting at the fact that Michelle had taken my spot as Scott's wife and he was letting her.He avoided me like a plague and nothing hurt worse than this. While the Priest read verses from the bible I could see her holding Scott's shoulder and letting him cry against her chest.I did not go to him neither did he come to me. I stood alone, everyone avoiding me like a disease. Tears did not drop from my eyes even as I watched my mother's casket go six feet down. I'd used up all the tears in my eyes, there was none anymore.My u

    Annabel's POV"Where were you the entire day?" I asked. The abruptness of my question must have shocked him because his surprised expression showed that he was not expecting that question."At the company," he answered, looking away and adding under his breath, "Where else would I have been?""Your absence was unusual, Myron and even now, your calmness baffles me."He sighed, "I am deeply worried about Liam, Natalia. I thought prioritizing his wellbeing and then finding the criminal later would be the right thing to do. I'm sorry if I do not meet your expectations."All this while, he kept avoiding my gaze and his answer was not the least satisfying. Or perhaps I'm overthinking things. Myron would never plan an accident on Liam. Even though he is not his biological son, Myron cherishes my boys.Except the accident was not meant for Liam.I turned my gaze and stared at him again, my mind taking me back to the scene of the accident. For one thing, the accident was definitely planned.

    Annabel's POV"I'm sorry, Mrs Wilson but your blood type is not a complete match to your son's."I rose to my wobbly feet in a start, not failing to see the shocked look on everyone's faces."D-Doctor," I began, "You..you must be mistaken. I am his mother. I gave birth to him, I-""I understand how you feel right now, Mrs Wilson but it's your son's life here. He needs blood immediately and yours is not a complete match." the Doctor explained."B-but how is that possible?" Michelle exclaimed, as shocked as I was, "She is his mother. Who else would have a better match?""Mrs Davis, things like this are possible medically." the Doctor explained, "She could be his mother but their blood group can differ. It does not mean she is not his mother."He paused and added, "There is nothing to worry about. In cases like this, the father of the child holds the complete match so it's a good thing Mr Wilson is here."I shivered. There is no way on earth Myron's blood would match Liam's. Moreover, I

    Scott's POV"Liam!!"Annabel's piercing scream filled my ears and interrupted my call. Sensing danger, I turned abruptly, in time to find Liam running to me with his outstretched arms and smiling face, but too late to realize the speeding car racing towards us.My eyes widened as my phone dropped to the ground and ran towards him, hoping to get to him before the car."Liam!" his name erupted from my lips just when the car ran him over and brushed past me, sending me with a thud to the ground.For a moment, I could not process anything as I had hit the back of my head hard against the tarred road. "Oh my God! Scott..Scott.." Michelle was next to me, "Are you..are you okay?"I could hear her clearly but I struggled to make sense of my surroundings as she helped me sit up."You're bleeding!" Michelle gasped and began to fumble for her phone, "Hold on...please keep your eyes open! I'll call 911!"My eyes unconsciously darted a few meters behind Michelle and that was when everything came

    Annabel's POVI had chosen a turtlenecked sleeve on pants to meet with Scott and pick up the kids. I didn't want him to see the bruises and create another scandal. After what Miss Donna told me, I would have to tread carefully as from now on. I already suspected that Myron must have temper issues even before she let the cat out of the bag.Scott had chosen a remote location where there were no passerbys and barely any chances of being seen. I had come earlier than expected and I forced myself to believe that it was only because I was eager to see my boys again however, the feeling gnawed inside me.The feeling of wanting to see Scott again and share the close, loving time we had spent at the beach. Even now as I leaned against my car, waiting patiently I couldn't help but replay the beach episode. I found myself smiling time to time despite my sad and realistic situation. I hugged my arms as the snow drifted lightly around me. Instead of cold, I felt the touch of Scott- warm, sensat
