Annabel's POV

"If you would agree to marry me,"

I paused at that moment and he withdrew from the embrace at the same time. Slipping his hands into his pocket, he studied my expression.

"Don't get me wrong," he explained, "I'm not taking advantage of your situation, Annabel. I just don't want people wagging their tongues and-"

"I totally understand," I cut him off, "I'm sorry but, marriage isn't what I need right now. I'll be visiting an old friend today and see if I can move in with her, I don't want to keep being a burden."

"You're not a burden, Annabel. I already told you, I'm only helping you get your revenge as I'll be getting mine as well.

Staying alone isn't the best option. You'll be endangering your friend by doing that."

However I remained adamant, "I don't think I'd be in danger so long as my location wouldn't be revealed. I appreciate you looking after my wellbeing but I think I can take it on from here."

I couldn't tell his expression because of the mask on his face. Aft

    Annabel's POVAfter Mr. Strange's condition for us to get married and Miss Donna's harassment earlier this morning, I finally made up my mind to leave the house.If Jaggers had not betrayed me and created a fake will where my mother transferred her properties to the Davis', I wouldn't have needed help from that strange man.If I need help from him it would be to defeat the Davis' and I still plan on going back however, only after I'd established myself with my own money. The strange man only wanted us to get married so I could have the legal right to his money. If I had mine, I don't think he would do that.The car screeched in front of a little house and I alighted from the car. All through the way, I've been calling Beatrice's number however it wasn't going through.I hope she still lives here. I stood in front of the gate and pressed the bell switch multiple times however there was no response. When I turned, I found the driver still waiting.I asked him, "Is there a problem?" "No

    Annabel's POVI was surprised to hear Scott say that. It felt like a dream but after blinking multiple times, I knew it wasn't. "I don't believe you," I said, shaking my head."Annabel please," he came close, holding my arm, "Just come with me and I promise I'll make you believe me."I remained hesitant, thinking of the many possibilities that could occur. What if this was just a trap to lure me to Mr. Davis? What if Scott is just pretending? Is it really wise for me to forget how Scott ditched me at the court and follow him now?"The snow is increasing," he said, breaking me out of my thought, "Annabel please come with me."He took my wrist and slowly pulled me towards his car. I did not object and entered into the car. As Scott began to drive across the street, I caught sight of a familiar car parked by the side of the road, several meters from Beatrice's house.It looked oddly familiar and I thought it to be that strange man's car. However, when Scott drove past it the person in i

    Scott's POV I was super happy that Annabel listened to me and decided to trust me again. I couldn't explain how I felt. Dad already promised to bring my daughter to me today. Once I have little Samantha in my arms I would return back to Annabel and together we would go to the airport where we would disappear from New York and begin a new life. I parked my car and stepped into the port where I got the tickets under an hour and hid it carefully in the compartment area of my car. I was driving to the company when Michelle's call came through. She thundered, "Scott, where are you?!" "At the company, what's the problem?" I answered, trying as hard as I could to muffle the annoyance in my voice. "You didn't come home yesterday, how could you be at the office?" "I-" "Besides, tomorrow is our wedding. Why would Dad ask you to go to the company?? Didn't you guys already put someone in charge??" "I spent the night at the office and it wasn't my intention," I replied quietly, "As

    Scott's POV"No, no, no!" I shouted as I watched the woman in the video about to push my little daughter into the pool."No, please!" I continued to beg.Ignoring my plea, my father asked, "Will you marry Michelle?" "Yes, yes I will, just get..get my daughter away from the pool!""Take her into the house," he ordered the woman who picked my daughter up and walked into the house.I breathed a sigh of relief."See? That's what you get when you decide to go against me, Scott." my father said, "Now, you have a wedding coming up."Grinning he added, "Let's go get you prepared."He snapped his fingers at the men that had beaten me up and they picked up and dragged me into the car. In my pathetic state, I realized the bizarre truth- I had to choose between Annabel and Samantha, my daughter and I'd just chosen Sam.My plans with Annabel has been destroyed and now she would never trust me again. I hope in the future, she would understand why I did what I did. * * *Annabel's POVEarlier this

    Annabel's POVHow does he know I'm here? I wondered.As if he could hear my thought, he answered, "I tracked your location from your phone.""..." I was speechless."My driver told me that you didn't get into your friend's house. I became worried when Beatrice said you weren't at her place."I still did not know what to say. He asked, "Can I come in?"After a short hesitation, I moved aside for him to come in and closed the door behind him. He walked to the middle of the living room, looking around the place and then he turned to me."You got the place yourself?"I shook my head, "It's Scott's."His silence after that told me that he didn't like what he heard."You stay here with your," he paused and finished, "Ex-husband?"His tone was filled with disgust.He continued, "The man who turned a blind eye on you when you needed him the most? The man who could have helped your father in killing your daughter, for all we know?""Scott is not what you think he is," I spoke quietly, not in

    Annabel's POVI opened the door and replied, "To the wedding."He looked pleased and said to me, "I'll gladly take you there." In a minute, we were on our way to the wedding. I sat quietly in the car and let the wind blow on my face. Each yard away, I kept on hoping that it isn't true. That something happened and Scott couldn't come home but he wasn't marrying Michelle while making me wait for him and after telling me that he wanted me back.Close to the church, there were several beautiful and expensive cars parked in a convoy and the front of the church was empty with the door locked.I still had hope. Maybe the wedding wasn't going on.I stepped out of the car without waiting for the masked man to park properly. He followed suit and stopped me."You can't go in," he said, "Without an invitation card."I paused to think."You said you'll help me," I said to him, "I know there's something you can do to make me get in.""Besides, I just want the church doors open.

    Myron's POVIt was just what I had anticipated. Every of my actions up until this moment was just to make her realize that I am the good one and Scott isn't. I wanted her to think that Scott had deceived her again and concretize her want for revenge in her head."There's no need to apologize, Annabel," I said softly, "I understood fully well that you were only acting according to your feelings. It must hurt to love someone who-""I do not love him anymore," she cut me off with a deep frown on her face, "And as long as we're together, what I shared with Scott shouldn't be discussed. I only want revenge now, nothing more."I nodded and held out my hand to her. Unlike the first time, she took it readily and without hesitation. We walked into my mansion and I had the house keeper make us lunch.At the table, I noticed that Annabel ate very little and didn't seem to have an appetite.I asked, giving her full attention, "Is something wrong?" "I just want to know how we intend on getting th

    Annabel's POVI remained in my room and waited for the stranger to return. I already had the accessories he'd bought for me packed in different luggages. I did everything and anything to get me busy so I wouldn't think about my heartbreak.Anything to forget Scott, yet when there was nothing left to do I broke down on the bathroom floor and cried.It hurts so much.The man I love is now married to someone else and that's not all, he believes that I'm responsible for the death of our daughter. What I couldn't understand is why he had to come back right after divorcing me. Why did he come back only to betray my trust again?But I knew thinking wouldn't solve anything. It is even bad for my babies whom I'm going to love with uttermost care that they would never feel the brunt of not having their father around.I remained in the bath for few more minutes, nursing my wounded heart before I stepped out acting strong again.It was eight in the evening and the strange guy hasn't returned.

    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." 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.

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

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
