Scott's POV

Meanwhile, the rest of us at the dinner table had the dessert in silence until Myron chose to speak.

"Is there a reason you chose to take my kids out of the school premises earlier today?"

I lifted my gaze and replied, "Two reasons infact. First, you were terribly late which is irresponsible of an acting father and-"

"Scott!" Michelle exclaimed, holding my arm to prevent me from saying anything further but I continued.

"Second, they are not your children. And the day I have them back, I promise to break your neck for taking my place deceitfully."

He chuckled and said, "I'm more of an action man than a man of words so I'll keep this straight and direct "

He leaned in, "Stay away from my family. From my wife and from my kids. The next time I get report that you're trying to get close to any of them, you will suffer dearly."

He stomped the wine glass on the table, rose from the chair and moved towards the sitting room. Michelle turned to me, surprised.

"What was all that?" sh

    Nathan's POVThe day has been very busy for me. Running the company is in fact no simple job and I couldn't wait for Scott's quick recovery so he could take back running the company.Due to the accounts that had piled up and many meetings to be overseen, I skipped lunch and have apparently missed dinner now looking at the time at half past nine.There was a knock on the door and the secretary stepped in."It is pretty late sir," she said, "Would you be staying the night so I could ask the guards to lock the gate?"I shook my head as I rose on my feet. "No. I will be going home now. I'll continue working tomorrow."She nodded and left the office while I grabbed my suit jacket and briefcase. Outside, my driver was already in the car. I climbed in with a sigh and placed my head on the rest, terribly tired.Work at the company wasn't usually hectic however with news of Natalia and Myron's investment and considering their influence in society, people of high calibre have begun to partner w

    Annabel's POV "Well," I said impatiently, "What did you find?" He handed me a list and said, "I went by the year you had given me and searched the orphanages' files for a Samantha but there is no child who bears that name." "What?" my eyes scanned the list and true to his words there is no girl child who was brought to the orphanage three years ago. "How's this possible?" I demanded, "This child I am looking for was adopted from the orphanage three years ago. Are you sure you looked properly?" "I did, ma'am. I combed through all the orphanages in New York and did my thorough research but there is no child called Samantha who was adopted." I sighed. "Perhaps more information could shed more light?" he suggested, "Like the child's real name and year of adoption and also which orphanage. Maybe we're just looking for the wrong person." I resolved to get more information from Michelle. I returned the list back to him. "You may go. When I have these information, I will get

    Annabel's POV"A case file...for the custody of my boys?!" my heartbeat accelerated as everything began to spin around me. Michelle held me while Myron helped me to the chair and a glass of water. Michelle picked up the document and read through it."B-but.." she stuttered, "I don't understand? Who would want custody of your children? Aren't they yours and Myron's?"I was too hysterical to reply. All I could was force my sobs in."It's your husband," Myron said to Michelle, "He has lost his senses and has filed for custody of my children! Think of the effect this would have on all of us!""My husband?" Michelle repeated, obviously unable to believe it.She sighed as she spoke to me, "Natalia I'm so sorry. I will speak to Scott right away and get him to stop whatever game he's playing."While she ran hastily out of the restaurant, I remained silent, sinking into oblivion."I warned you about this," Myron began, "You always see me as the bad one now look what your dearest Scott has don

    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 POV"Mrs Wilson is here." the servant announced. I walked into the house majestically, their eyes settling on me. Unlike before, their gazes were filled with contempt, uncertainty and fear. But Scott's was filled with a mixture of love and anger."The atmosphere is.." I paused and finished with emphasis "Tensed."Vivian shot up angrily, "What do you think you're doing here? What gives you the audacity to walk into this house after throwing my husband in jail?!""Your husband?" I rolled my eyes, "Stop with that phrase, honey. If anyone should get out of this house it should be you. You have no right to be here."Her face turned red like a beetroot."Excuse me?" Nathan interfered, "I won't have you walk into my home to insult my mother, Mrs Wilson."I chuckled, "But your mother started it. I came here in peace. In fact I came here to provide a solution to y'all's problem." I took the seat next to me and crossed my legs as they continued to stare at me."Sit down will you?"

    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 POVI was watching the news that evening for the umpteenth time. The one that clearly captured Mr Davis being cuffed and escorted into the police van and Vivian avoiding the cameras with her head bowed.A satisfied smile adorned my lips and I could not stop putting the video on replay. I am close to my goal. Soon, my late daughter and mother will rest in peace knowing that their death was avenged.I sipped my wine and wondered how Mr Davis was faring in jail. I had managed to cancel every grant for bail for the meantime but I knew it won't be for long.Still I was satisfied knowing that he would be spending tonight behind bars. That is where he truly belongs and until I make sure he gets sentenced there for life, my revenge will not be successful."Natalia," I lifted my gaze and found Myron descending from the stairs, "You're here. It's pretty late, won't you come to bed? You had a long day.""I'm alright. You don't need to wait for me," I told him, "I will be sleeping in a

    Annabel's POV "Well...uh.." she stuttered, "T-the shareholders are downstairs with the police. They want Mr Davis arrested!""Really?" I exclaimed, a smile liting up my face when I suddenly remembered and quickly got a hold of myself."Oh.. that's bad.." I said, pretending to look sad. I picked up my bag and slipped my phone into it. I would have to speak to Williams later.I said to the receptionist, "Let's go." The ground floor and the people on it was in total disarray. Somehow, the paparazzi had managed to force their way into the company and the guards and few cops around struggled to hold them off.The shareholders had come with some cops as well and their faces was anything but pleasant."We have all worked together," said Mr Davis to the shareholder, "Surely you should know that this is just a business loss that can happen to any company.""It is not a business loss, Mr Davis," the leader of the shareholders replied, "It is YOUR business loss and we are simply investors in y

    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. I have felt it before, when she made me divorce Scott and then threw me out of the house.I helped her with the documents and handed her a pen. Our gazes locked and made sure she c

    Annabel's POVI 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 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
