Annabel's POV

"Maybe it's high time the world knows that she isn't my daughter."

Michelle's words rang out a thousand times in my ears.

"What..what do you mean?" I demanded but she simply rolled her eyes and etched closer to me.

"I see you as a trusted friend, Natalia.. I've never really had one..so I hope you can keep this a secret." she explained.

"Yes..yes of course." I agreed immediately,

"Well," Michelle took in a deep breath, "Did I tell you that Scott's ex-wife lost her child?."

She continued, "Scott loved her very much but she was simply not what he thought her to be and after they lost their daughter, he adopted Samantha just to keep the memory of the unborn child alive."

"Oh.." I said silently, "And you? He's.. he's never thought of having a child with you?"

Michelle sighed deeply and was about to answer when the door to the room opened and Myron walked in.

"Hello, Mr Wilson," Michelle greeted, stepping away from me, "I'm glad to see that your wife is oka

    Annabel's POVA week had past since the accident in the elevator. The shareholders meeting was rescheduled and I was introduced as the leading head of the Davis' Industries next to the CEO, Scott.With Scott still heading the company I could not take sole decisions in some certain areas however I could influence it strongly. I am not impatient too, infact, I like my revenge slow-burn.Only that, Myron has now become a leech on my skin. He follows me everywhere and wouldn't let me out of his sight. I wondered how dinner at the Davis' would pull through today."Mommy, mommy, mommy!" Ethan and Liam screamed in unison as they ran through the door and clasped my legs, looking up at me excitedly."Hey, cherries.." I giggled as I raised them both on my arms and settled on the couch, "I see school was fun today, hm?""So much fun, mommy!" exclaimed Ethan.Liam added, "Samantha's Dad took us on sightseeing..he got us a huge bowl of icecream after our fun!"My smile faded and in that instant, M

    Annabel's POV At the Davis' mansion, Mr Davis received us warmly and welcomed us to the dinner table. It wasn't long before Michelle and Vivian arrived. Vivian simply waved indifferently at me while Michelle gave me a wink. I looked around for a particular someone but couldn't find him at the table. "I am glad that you honored my request for dinner, Mrs Wilson, especially after the accident that occured at my company." Mr Davis said. I smiled, "We're partners now, I do not have any reason to decline your request for dinner." "How has your recovery being? I apologize again." I shook my head as I placed the napkin on my thighs. "It's nothing, Mr Davis." I waved it off, "It was only a circumstance. I am fully recovered now." "Very well then, let's have dinner." he declared and everyone began to eat. Despite the clinking of cutleries against the dish wares, the eerie atmosphere was obvious. The silence was loud and I couldn't help but be worried of Scott. I haven't set

    Scott's POVMeanwhile, 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."

    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." Scott replied."What does Natalia have to do with this??" Nathan. hissed."This has always been her plan. If you stop to think for a moment you would realize that-""Le

    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

    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
