Myron's POVAt this point, I was already thinking of a way to deport I and Annabel back to London. It was a complete mistake letting her come back here. She doesn't listen to me anymore and just does what she thinks is right and it is of no benefit to me. I downed my third bottle of Scotch and watched the pole dancers closely, trying to get my mind off Annabel's disobedience but it was what led me to the bar in the first place and I can't seem to put it off my head.I need to act fast. I have to find a way to return us back to London and after that, we're never stepping foot in this goddamn city again. I didn't even need to think of how Annabel doesn't see me anymore ever since she got busy with the Davis'.It's always, "Good morning, see you later!" or "I have business to catch up on!" Even the kids barely see her. She comes late from wherever she went, takes a quick shower and buckles up in bed ignoring my questions with a plea of, "Please Myron, I had a long day."I clutched at t
Natalia's POVI dropped the kids off at school today. The smiles on their faces made me very happy. I couldn't help but feel that I'd neglected them for too long, leaving Myron to play both the father and mother role.I chided myself, as I remained glued to the steering wheel, yet I believed that neglecting Ethan and Liam wasn't my intention. I had to get revenge on their father and the entire Davis family for taking my happiness away. Speaking of that, I'd successfully gotten Mr Davis to make me the highest shareholder in his company and this has not only driven a rift between him and Vivian but it has also given me a starting point on my revenge.I have to be at the Davis Industry now. I took in a sharp breath and began to reverse out of the parking lot when I saw a familiar face through the side mirror. It was the face of a little girl and she got closer and closer, I recognized her.Samantha.I was surprised to know that she attends same school with Ethan and Liam. I was about sa
Annabel's POVI lifted my gaze to find Scott. I breathed in sharply, contemplating whether to use the elevator or not. It's already hard when he brings up all that Annabel stuff say less of us being in the same elevator."The meeting is happening on the last floor," his voice pierced my thoughts as his enchanting emerald eyes fell upon my legs, "Considering those high heels, you would only bruise those beautiful legs trying to take the stairs." I sighed and finally forced my legs into the elevator. My breath hitched as the doors closed silently. I couldn't help but ponder what fate was trying to do, bringing I and Scott this close even when I have decided to put the past behind me and get my revenge.Silence reigned and then,"I can forgive you for everything, Annabel but I don't think I can ever forgive you for destroying your lustre hair."I kept mute."Do you remember the night I proposed to you?" he continued, "When I told you how much I love your lustre hair next to how much I r
Myron's POV I grabbed my car keys the moment Natalia hung up. I wouldn't let her continue to do more damage than she already has. I know she wants revenge but her relationship with Mr Davis is becoming suspicious and if I let her continue down that path she might expose herself before long. I slammed the car door shut and turned on the engine. Or maybe I'm only acting this way because I feel insecure. Still, I have every right to behave this way. I could never comprehend the idea of Scott and Annabel together. I have grown to love her so much that I can never do without her nor can I watch her in the arms of another man. It was for this reason I never wanted us to come to New York and now that we're here, it is left to me to keep what is mine. Now that Annabel has managed to climb to the top of the stakeholders building in the Davis Industries, it means that there will be frequent contact between her and Scott. I swerved to the right, passing the speed limit as I tightened
Annabel's POVBright lights illuminated the room I was in. I could barely see anything when I opened my eyes. I sat up on the bed with a groan as a heavy ache came upon my head.I sighed and looked around me. There was no one in the room. I took in a deep breath and memories of being tossed like garbage in the elevator rushed through my mind.Now that I think of it, it was really a nightmare however it didn't feel so at that point in time and it's all thanks to Scott. He had put his life on the line and made sure I didn't sustain any hard injuries.I set my feet on the ground and begin to walk to the door. I should see him and know how he's doing. As my hand rested on the knob, the door opened and Myron stepped in.I drew back.He asked, "Where are you going?" "Is Scott here?" I asked, "I need to know if he's alright and thank him for saving-""That is not necessary, I have thanked him on your behalf. You don't have to go over to him." he cut me off abruptly, his expression dark and
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
Michelle's POVI was still in disbelief over what I saw yesterday. Yes, Scott might be crazy thinking Natalia is Annabel but I did not expect that Natalia would take advantage of that and etch close to my husband.The look I saw in her eyes was undeniable. When the car had rolled into the garage and she and Scott stepped out to say goodbye to the kids, they had no idea that I and Myron were watching from a distance.Scott and Natalia kept sharing a familiar glance and despite Natalia's smiling face at the kids, there was an obvious sadness about her that one could not miss.It shocked me.From a distance Natalia is completely a different person and it had me thinking if..if Scott has been right all the time. Even now, I shuddered at the thought as I tried to convince myself that Natalia cannot be Annabel."Mich!"I trembled as I jerked out of thoughts and realized that everyone was staring at me at the breakfast table."I'm sorry," I shook my head and blinked twice, "Did..Did you say
Annabel's POV"Strip, Natalia." "No," I whispered, tears streaming down my face, "Stop this nonsense, Myron.""No! I won't!" his voice got even louder as he glared widely at me, "I won't stop! Why should I be the one to do that, huh? Did I not warn you never to be seen near that man again? What did you do? You dismissed my warnings! You took me for a fool!""Please.." I trembled, "Please Myron..I told you.." I sobbed, "I went with him because of the kids.""I don't care! What I care about is that you prove to me that you're truly over Scott. I want you to prove to me that you are really my wife."I shook my head, stepping back and saying "I don't want to."He chuckled as he flung his trousers away, leaving only his briefs, "Why not, Natalia? Have I not given you enough time? Tell me why I'm so different from Scott?""This..this is not about him.." I explained, "I don't want to be involved with any man anymore.""But you just spent the day in the arms of your Ex," he noted with a scow
Annabel's POVThey had just seen me come out of the car. I registered the shock on the face of Michelle and the fury on Myron's face.I quickly pushed the kids into the car as I didn't want them to witness the volcano waiting to erupt.Myron and Michelle began to walk towards us. I met them at a distance, stopping them from getting anywhere near the car.Myron grabbed my arm in a fit of rage."Don't you dare hurt her!" Scott's deep voice warned as he came between us breaking Myron's grip on my arm."You bastard!" Myron swore just before he placed a blow on Scott's face. Scott staggered, regained his balance and returned the blow. The men engaged in fisticuffs despite I and Michelle's effort to stop them.By the time the guards from the company arrived to hold them off, both men had been badly injured.Myron looked even more furious as he glared daggers at Scott. As I stood behind him, I couldn't help but blame myself for the present event. I shouldn't have gone with Scott and the kids
Myron's POV I had an eerie feeling when Natalia did not return after an hour. Despite my effort to stop the suspicious thoughts in my head, they still found a way to get in. They eventually led me into my closet and out of the house, on the way to the Davis' Industry. Since the boys are now with Scott, it was right for me to think that Natalia might be obliged to walk into Scott's nest with the boys as her excuse. And I would not let that happen, not when I have come this far. It also surprised me that Natalia has begun to suspect Samantha's birth. Of course I knew Sam isn't Michelle's daughter however she is Natalia's 'unborn child' that she thinks is dead. I was the mastermind behind it all. I had ordered my father not to harm the child so we could use it to blackmail Scott. My plan worked perfectly as Natalia never suspected Scott was being threatened into fighting against her. Everything I have done until now is only to hurt my father and the Davis family for the cruel to
Annabel's POVI called out to them, "Wait."I knew this was a wrong thing to do- letting Scott and the kids make me lose focus on my revenge. But then another part of me was reaching out to my boys, to have them in my arms again, to hear them laugh and watch them play.It was already hard that I had to give them up for my revenge, perhaps a few hours with them wouldn't hurt?I drew in a sharp breath and said, "Just a few hours.""Yay!" the boys threw their hands up, smiling gleefully while Samantha's olive eyes simply glowed brighter.I turned to my driver, "Park the car in the garage and hang around. I will be back in some hours.""B-but, madam-" the driver hesitated, fear written all over his face."What is it?""The boss, Mr Wilson ..what if-""He's at the house and he's aware I came to the company to run some things. He wouldn't come here or at least, I'll be back before he does."The driver was not fully convinced but I turned and walked into Scott's car. The kids were at the bac
Annabel's POV"You're staring into space again." Myron's voice interrupted my thoughts.I blinked twice and came down to earth. "It has only been three days without the boys and you're slowly losing your mind," he paused and added, "Are you sure you made the right decision?"I shut my laptop and sighed, "Yes. I made the right decision and of course I'll miss the boys. The house feels so empty without them.""Well, you made your choice clear." he replied, "You have the revenge."I nodded, "Mr Davis informed me that his lawyer is completing the process of the divorce. Vivian signed it eventually.""So what's the next plan?""To crumble the company." I answered and rose from my seat towards my closet where I debated on which gown to wear."My chip has requested some codes I need to provide him with in order for the other chip to hack successfully into the industry." I explained as I finally picked a yellow flare gown."Where did you get these.." Myron paused and finished, "...chips from
Annabel's POV"The custody of the children will be given to Mr Scott Davis on the grounds that Mrs Natalia Wilson will have the weekends with them."I wanted to jump and express my happiness but I remembered the current state of my mental health and so I could only wear a smile."This verdict does not imply that the children belong to Scott," the Judge added, "It is only a temporary way out due to Mrs Natalia Wilson's health which must be put first before anything else."The Judge rose, "I am sure that Mrs Natalia Wilson will revisit this case once her health is balanced.""Court Arise!!" While we arrived outside the courtroom, reporters surrounded I and Myron asking different questions."Please deliver all your questions to my secretary's email." I told them and struggled my way out with the help of the guards.Miss Donna arrived with the kids just in time. "You don't have to hand them to Scott yourself," Myron suggested, "Miss Donna can hand them over or even I can.""No," I disag
Annabel's POV "Restrain him!" the Judge ordered. The police present held unto Scott but he was beyond control. He had lost his temper and it was obvious why. He could see himself winning the case and custody of the boys however, he cannot win custody without first proving that I am infact Annabel. That way, he would be killing two birds with one stone. He never thought that I'd outsmart him this way. "Let me go!" he screamed at the Police, "Can't y'all see she's pretending? She's-" "Mr Scott Davis," boomed the voice of the Judge, "If do not return to your seat this instant, you will be filed with contempt of court." Scott brushed the hands of the Police away, took a long, painful look at me before Michelle came and pulled him away. Everyone watched at the Judge scribbled away on his note. Few minutes later, he lifted his head and spoke, "I will have to deliberate on this matter with the council before reaching a decision," he announced, "For this reason, this hearing will cont
Annabel's POVThe next day, Myron walked into the room while I was busy going through the children pictures from the orphanage."Miss Donna told me you asked her to pack the boys' luggages." he began, "Are you really giving them up to Scott?"I nodded and answered, "Yes. Tomorrow is the hearing. I will withdraw from the case and willingly hand the kids to him.""Natalia please you have to carefully think this through," he told me, "I can handle this for you. There's still a chance that you'll win the case.""Only if you go bloody," I finished for him, "Involving innocent people into this. Look, Myron, I'll be fine. I will have the kids for the weekends and continue my revenge. I won't let Scott stop me."I added, "Also, I need you to prepare a fake divorce paper with my and your signature.""Why?""I had to tell Mr Davis that we're divorced so he could speed up his divorce with his wife." I answered, "He might need further proof so please help me get it ready. I will show it to him to
