Annabel's POV

"That was quick!" said Mr Davis as he stopped few meters away from where I stood, he smirked, "You should use this opportunity to help yourself to the rehab center, Annabel."

I chuckled despite myself, "That is where you will be in the future, Mr Davis. In fact if you ask me, the likes of you should rot in hell instead of a rehab center."

He waved his hand in the air with a grin, "I have more important things to do than stand here and argue with a divorcee."

He turned around with Vivian following behind like a puppet.

He said, "C'mon Scott, let's go get you ready."

I wondered, ready for what?

My gaze fell on Scott as he followed behind. Suddenly, he stopped and looked back just in time to see the tears forming in my eyes.

I was not ashamed of it. I wasn't also willing to hide it. I wanted him to see how much he's hurting me and remember this look when I eventually get my revenge.

A part of me hoped he would apologize and tell me once again how much he adores me.

    Annabel's POV."Are you Annabel Davis?" I lifted my gaze to find a man on mask. He was dressed in a blue suit and through his mask, I could see his ocean eyes that deeply complimented his suit.About 6ft tall with the hair similar to Scott's jet black, this stranger's features are well built and muscular except I couldn't see his face.What is he doing outside the Davis' property? Considering the fact that I was looking into my phone, I couldn't see where he came from.Tucking my phone behind me, I demanded, "Who are you and how do you know my name?" He slipped his hand into his pocket and answered calmly, "I'm just an unfortunate person like you. As for your name, who doesn't know you after the court case?""You seem to have been tailing me, whoever you are."Despite the mask on his face, I could bet that he was smirking when he said, "Let's get your arm treated before all of this unnecessary exchange.""Unnecessary?" I repeated, stopping him in his track, "You expect me to trust a

    Annabel's POV After an hour at the shopping mall, we moved to a beauty spa where this stranger spent thousands just to get my skin rejuvenated and my hair washed and properly treated. While staring at my reflection in the mirror, I glanced at him answering the umpteenth call since we walked into the spa. I wondered if he is some kind of CEO. He seems wealthy and influential, and the likes of him is what I need to get my revenge against Scott and his father. "Ready?" he asked, stopping few meters away and I nodded. Surprisingly, he gave me his arm and I placed my hand in it as we walked out together and back into his car. After some minutes drive, we stopped in front of a mansion. I did not get out immediately and he didn't either. "I appreciate the kind gesture," I spoke breaking the silence, "-but my lawyer has things sorted out for me. Once my mother's properties have been transferred, you wouldn't need to go out of your way to keep helping me." "I'm not going out of my w

    Scott's POV I had to act non-chalant for the sake of my daughter. I had no choice but to divorce Annabel and agree to a marriage to Michelle.When Annabel was thrown out of the house, I ordered a man from a private source to watch over her, give her a house to stay and make sure to keep her safe. However, since then I have not had the opportunity to call him.In order not to attract my father's attention, I must keep away from anything that could get him suspicious. For this reason, I stuck to following Michelle around, getting pre-wedding photos and purchasing whatever she thinks is nice.Getting her hair fixed, I stepped outside and quickly pulled out my phone to call the guard I'd placed in charge of Annabel."Well? Is she okay?" I asked the moment the call went through.The voice on the other end took few seconds to reply. When it eventually did, it was muffled voices that I couldn't quite place."Speak to me properly, will you?!" I shouted into the phone."I couldn't find her,"

    Scott's POV"Myron Wilson?" My dad shrugged and tossed me another file, "What does it matter if you've never heard the name? After the agreement, he'll become a puppet to me."I shook my head and shut Myron's file, my dad is fond of looking down on others. I could care less, I just need to find Annabel. "The second file contains all of the properties willed to Annabel," he explained, "Once he signs it, he'll be in control however we'll still own it."I shut the file as well and rose from the couch."When will I get to see my daughter?" I asked, "I did all you asked, I want my daughter back now!""Don't pressure me, Scott," he warned, "Your daughter is safe and until I am sure you deserve her, I'll give her to you.For all I know, Annabel is still in the city and you're still in love with her." Without waiting another second, he left the office and slammed the door behind him.* * *Annabel's POVMiss Donna woke me up the next morning. Extremely tired from the events of days ago, I

    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

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.

    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

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

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

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."

    Annabel's POV The corner of my lips crept up in a small smile. I called Miss Donna to help with chairs in the garden downstairs and some snacks. I had a feeling that this private investigator of mine has something I could benefit from and I needed something to take my mind away from the decision I had just taken. While the investigator waited for me at the garden, I spoke with Miss Donna. "Where are the kids?" "In their room, ma'am." she answered, "In front of their favorite TV show. They were eager to see you when they arrived. Do you want me to inform them that you're-" "No." I answered, "Don't." She nodded slowly and continued with her work while I returned to the garden, taking my seat opposite the man. "I never quite got your name?" "William." he responded "Right.
