Scott's POV

"Thank you very much, Mr Luis." I shook hands with my lawyer as he was about leaving. We just discussed the details of the case and my chances of winning.

I know this would hurt Annabel terribly when she received the case file not to talk of how New York is buzzling with news of the court case. More than hurt her feelings, Annabel's reputation will reduce rapidly but then again, it isn't really her reputation. Natalia is not Annabel.

I am doing this to get my Annabel back.

BANG! The entrance door opened and closed with a loud noise. I turned to find Michelle. Her raging expression told me that she must have heard the news as well.

"Have you finally lost it?" she thundered as she tossed her handbag aside, "What is the meaning of this?"

"Michelle-"

"Haven't you done enough?" she teared up, "I have endured heartbreak, shame and pain from all of your actions in the last six years, Scott."

"Just because I haven't said anything about it does not mean that I am okay.." she sniffe

    Myron's POVIt is a day before we gather in court to fight for custody of the boys. Natalia has not been herself since the news. She's been locked away in the boys' room and only came out whenever the lawyer came.I hate to see her this way and I hate Scott even more. I arranged a meeting with my father. It is the only way I could stop Scott from pushing through with the case.We met in the woods where no one would see us. The moment he saw me, he opened his arms and reached out for a hug but I stepped back, my face straight and expressionless.He cleared his throat, "Since you came back to New York you haven't called me to see you. I was elated the moment I received your call.""No time for pleasantries," I began, "Has Scott finally run mad, huh? What is this game he's playing?!"My father sighed, "I don't know what he plans with this but maybe it's to stop my wedding with Natalia.""Well, we must stop him because it's taking a great toll on my wife." I drew close, "Command him to wi

    Myron's POVI awoke with a start, my heart pounding against my ribcage. I looked to my side and didn't find Natalia. Just then, the shower was turned off and in a minute she stepped out of the bathroom."Where are you going so early in the morning?" I asked as I drew the duvet off of me. "We're to report at the court," she said quietly, "Today is the court case."I blinked twice then I remembered."But it won't be holding," I told her, "Scott should have called it off by now."She simply stared at me and said nothing while I scrambled for my phone on the drawer and opened my media accounts. To my greatest surprise, the case is in fact going to take place.There were already several reporters at the court and the internet was buzzing with Natalia's pictures on every nook and cranny with writhing captions."This can't be," I whispered, "The case should have been called off."I did not wait for a response. I strolled out of the room with my phone and immediately called my father."What

    Annabel's POV "I and Natalia were more than just acquaintances many years ago," Scott was speaking in the plaintiff's box with his eyes fixated on me, "Long before she met her current husband. We had a misunderstanding that tore us apart but at that time she was carrying my boys without my knowledge.""Since she was carrying the boys without your knowledge, how then did you find out?" his lawyer asked."During one of our arguments, she had a fall that resulted to pains. I had her rushed to the hospital and overheard her pleading with the Doctor to keep her pregnancy a secret.""Objection, my Lord!" my lawyer countered."Objection granted."My lawyer stepped forward, "Your Honor, it is baseless assertion to claim that Mr Scott Davis actually had a relationship with Mrs Natalia Wilson. Moreover, the city of New York is well aware of Mr Scott Davis' life as he is a popular figure and nowhere is it that he was in a relationship with Mrs Natalia Wilson."He added, "Besides, my client her

    Annabel's POV"Why were you so confident that Scott would call off the case yesterday?" He looked shocked by the question but quickly changed his expression. "Well..I heard that his daughter was abducted so I felt that he would prioritize her over the case.""You heard? From who? It wasn't published on the media. I had no idea that Samantha was abducted."Myron replied, "Since the case, I have some people keeping tabs on Scott. They must have overheard it and informed me." "You feel comfortable lying to me so skillfully," I stepped up and told him, "You had that little girl kidnapped to satisfy your desire."He sighed, "I made sure she was not handled roughly. She was simply taken to a birthday party and watched over. Besides, it was the only thing I could do to stop the case for you.""I didn't ask you to kidnap an innocent little girl, Myron. I was ready to take up this case not cut ways around it.""...""You don't have to hurt innocent people for me." I ended and was walking tow

    Annabel's POVI was just stepping out of the conference room when I bumped into Mr Davis. He smiled upon seeing me."I thought I could catch up with the meeting, turns out I'm late." he said as he gave me his arm and together we walked out of the company."Well with me here, you have nothing to worry about." I told him."To be honest I didn't think you would be able to host the meeting," he said, "I mean with the court case and all..I thought you'd rather be bottled up in your room.""I'm not a woman to carve in to pressure, Mr Davis. I am a fighter and regardless of the outcome of the court case I will still do what I have always planned on doing." I replied."I am more than fascinated with you Natalia," he paused and added, "I thought they could be a way to make you happy amidst this turmoil.""Hm." We stepped out of the company just then. He said to me, "Let me show you something,"We headed for his car and he retrieved a document which he handed to me."And this is?" I asked."Th

    Michelle's POVShe stepped closer, "If you push through with this divorce George, I will be your worst nightmare!" "Do you realize what you're saying, Vivian?" Mr Davis traced his step back and added, "Exposing all that we have done is tantamount to bringing yourself down as well."He continued, "In fact, you carried out most of the murder acts yourself."I gasped, causing them to turn to me."What are you both talking about? What murder and what misdeeds have you perpetuated? Who have you murdered?!" I shrieked as I couldn't understand how they could stand and comfortably accuse themselves of something as grave as murder.Vivian simply smiled, "You heard nothing child." she said to me while my lips hung open in disbelief. I knew I helped them get rid of Annabel's baby but I didn't know that they were monsters even before that. "I don't care if I go down, George." Vivian turned back to her husband, "As long as you go down with me and that Natalia of a woman does not succeed in destr

I stomped at the dinner table, causing everyone to gasp while looking at me with curiosity in their eyes but I was enraged.I looked straight at my mother, "Did you know Natalia Wilson years ago?"She stuttered, "Wh-What..what do you mean?""Answer me, mother!" I banged at the table again, "What did you do years ago?"Scott got up on his feet, "You've to relax, Nathan and tell me what's wrong. Where are you coming from and why do you look so red?""I'm coming from Natalia's house," I answered and turned back to my mother, "And she seems to have something against my mother.""Why did you go there?" Scott asked."I wanted to plead with her to stop this stupid wedding with father because..because it was hurting my mother.""And?" Scott probed further."And she spoke as if.."

Reporters gathered around us asking numerous questions and making absurd statements.With the bodyguards' help we managed to get into the court house despite the paparazzi's harassment.I took my seat shakily beside Myron. I did not look towards the right where Scott and the Davis family were seated. Soon, the court proceedings began."Mrs Natalia Wilson," the Judge called, "Do you have evidence that proves your location before your arrival at London?""Your Honor," my lawyer stepped forward, "My client has made it known to me that she was pregnant with some complications at the time before her arrival at London. For this reason and due to confidentiality, her location before her arrival at London cannot be specifically proved because there were no records taken."The judge cleared his throat, "I hope you are aware that not being able to prove your location with sustainable evidences gives a

    "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.

    "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."

"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, "

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.

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!"

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.

Never have I ever thought that I would stay in there someday and what did y'all do?" he pointed at a sobbing Vivian, "Especially her??

Am I not allowed to pay my late client's daughter a visit?""Don't fuck with me." I cursed, "Why are you here? How did you even get my address?""That is not important," he replied, "After how you reshaped my entire life by stripping me off my license months back, did you really not expect me to make a comeback?""Don't be silly, Jaggers" I told him, "You and I know very well that I was merciful to you by revoking your license when infact the right place you should have been is behind bars for forging my mother's signature and selling her shares to the Davis!""You were mentally ill," he shrugged, "How could I have trusted you with your mother's assets?"I
