Annabel's POV

"Let me go!" I screamed as I thrashed around on the hospital bed, my hands and feet were bound. I looked around as sweat poured down my face. There were doctors and nurses cladded in white and it seemed that they were preparing for a surgery.

"Who the hell are you?!" I screamed my lungs out in fright, "Why am I here?! Fucking let me go!"

But none of them paid attention to me. They were focused on setting the surgical instruments. My breath became ragged and heavy. The last thing I remembered was being alone with Michelle in the room. I have no idea how I appeared on this hospital bed.

My gaze fell outside while I screamed for help and my eyes widened when I recognized the faces of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Hope flushed inside my heart.

"Mom! Dad! Please get me out of here!" I screamed.

However, Mr Davis and his wife Vivian scoffed and walked into the hospital room so casually. They smiled down at me but it wasn't the usual kind of smile. It was one full of contempt, it sent shivers down my spine.

"Didn't you stick your nose in my business, Annabel?" Mr Davis said to me with eyes as dark as the devil's, "Didn't I warn you not to cross paths with me, huh?"

I bit my lower lip to stop the tears from falling. Only few weeks ago I'd stumbled upon hushed tones. They were that of Mr Davis and his cohorts planning the murder of an associate. I was not so lucky and got caught. He threatened me not to say a word but it haunted me all night.

I spoke to Scott, my husband, about it but he thought it was a joke. He could never believe that his father is a murderer.

"You..you had to tell my son even after I warned you, Annabel!" Mr Davis muttered through clenched teeth.

Tears fell from my eyes as I whispered, "I can't let you kill an innocent man."

Both of them laughed at me like I'd gone mad. Vivian, my mother-in-law placed a hand on my belly.

"No," I cried even harder, that was my child. Mine and Scott's. "Please..don't.. I promise I won't say a word about it anymore! Please.. I'd do anything. Please don't hurt my child!"

"No," Mr Davis said to me, "I'll have to teach you a lesson so next time, you won't think I'm bluffing!"

"No..no please!" I cried and screamed, thrashing on the hospital bed, "It's... it's your grandchild! How..how could you be so cruel?!"

Vivian tucked her dark hair behind her ears. I should have known...I thought inwardly. She is Mr Davis' second wife and the mother to his second son. She is Scott's stepmother and so she has no blood relation to the child in my womb. She came across as a loving and wonderful mother when in fact she is a treacherous snake!

"Relax, it won't take long." she whispered as she caressed my face and I watched them walk out of the room, leaving me to my fate.

My crying and shouting did nothing to make the doctors have pity on me. They wheeled their surgical instruments towards my bed and dimmed the light in the room.

"No..no!" I sobbed, "Please don't harm my child! Please let me go, I am begging you!"

But they picked up a syringe and pierced it through my arm. I gave a yelp as it worked it way down my veins.

"Please.." I begged as I lost consciousness gradually, "Please...don't."

* * *

When I opened my eyes, I was in an entirely different room. Sharp pains coursed through my entire body and I felt stiff until warm hands held mine.

I opened my eyes and met the eyes of the only man my heart beats for. He held my hand and kissed my knuckles. His enchanting greenish gold eyes held a sought of pain that I could not understand.

When I looked further across the room I saw the entire Davis' family around my bed weeping. I sat up abruptly with the help of Scott.

I looked back at him and it was then I saw the dried tears on his cheeks.

"What's.. what's happening?" I questioned as I looked from faces to faces for an answer. I did not quickly remember what happened hours ago.

"Annabel-" Nathan, the second son of Mr Davis, etched closer to my bed. It gave me an uneasy feeling, my heart began to beat rapidly.

"Can someone answer me?" my voice broke, "What is happening?!"

Still, everyone maintained silence. My gaze fell on Michelle's hands around my husband's arm. She pretended to be weeping, but I could see through her lies.

Michelle was betrothed to Scott before I met him. However, when we fell in love Scott chose to be with me.

"I'm so sorry, Annabel," Michelle said as she blew her nose into the tissue, "The doctors tried their best!"

What is she talking about? I looked around even more confused. However when I connected to the smirk on the corner of Mr Davis' lips every memory of hours ago rushed into my head.

Michelle had made me unconscious.. I'd woken up tied to a bed..I gasped suddenly as my hand went to my belly.

I held it while looking down, feeling for my eight months old baby but I felt...EMPTY.

"My child..my baby.." I began to wince as I held my belly tighter trying to feel a movement, hoping against hope that the memories was just all a dream.

"Annabel," Scott held my hand and I lifted my gaze to meet his teary filled eyes.

He said, "We lost her. We lost our child."

    Annabel's POVMy belly churned and squeezed inside of me as I sucked in air, unable to believe what I just heard. All of this has to be some kind of dream, I need me to wake up.Disconnecting the IV needle from my hand with so much force, sent blood rushing uncontrollably out of my hand."Annabel!" Scott was beside me in a jiffy but the pain was nothing compared to the one I felt in my heart. I stepped out of bed."No.." I cried, "It can't be..no, we didn't lose her Scott! She was...she was right here," I held my belly while I sobbed, "She was okay..waiting to be born in a month's time."Scott moved a step towards me, fearing that I might do something crazy."Annabel please..please calm down. We..we have to be strong. We have-"I shook my head vehemently as my gaze fell on the surgical instruments I'd seen the night before. I pushed everything to the ground while screaming my lungs out."Noooooo!! My poor child!!! Oh God..please no!!" hot tears streamed down my cheeks, "It's not true

    Annabel's POVI woke up the next day feeling weak and drained. I had lost a lot of blood when I pulled the IV needle and the pain in my heart was too much for me to bear. I still can't believe that I'd lost both my mother and my child.Even though she is not my biological mother, Mrs King took me into her home and raised me with the love and care that a mother would give her child. I owe her my life. I owe her everything and that's why it hurts even more."You're awake," Scott said as he lowered himself and came in for a kiss but I looked away. He straightened up and said, "Do you feel okay? Do you want me to call the doctor?"I looked at him with tears shimmering in my eyes, "Why won't you believe me? Have I ever lied to you, Scott?""Annabel please!" he moved away from me, "It's already hard for me to cope with the death of our child. Stop making this more difficult. Dad has nothing to do with all this. Why are accusing him?"I stood up from the bed and even though my legs wobbled,

    Annabel's POV.The next day was my mother and daughter's funeral. Earlier before, I found that the hospital which conducted my mother's autopsy was the Crofwell's hospital.Michelle's father, Mr Crofwell owns the hospital. I was not surprised, both he and Mr Davis are partners in crime. They must have worked together to forge this autopsy report.However since today is my daughter and mother's funeral I did not throw a tantrum. I also said nothing to anybody while hurting at the fact that Michelle had taken my spot as Scott's wife and he was letting her.He avoided me like a plague and nothing hurt worse than this. While the Priest read verses from the bible I could see her holding Scott's shoulder and letting him cry against her chest.I did not go to him neither did he come to me. I stood alone, everyone avoiding me like a disease. Tears did not drop from my eyes even as I watched my mother's casket go six feet down. I'd used up all the tears in my eyes, there was none anymore.My u

    Annabel's POV"What?" my lips hanged open, "You can't be serious, Scott!""I am." he confirmed his words, adding, "My wife cannot take my father to court and I would not lift a finger.""Don't make me choose between you and our daughter! I am doing this for her!" I gritted my teeth as tears threatened to fall."No, I think you've lost your mind and since you've refused to come to your senses let's see whether you'll lose me as well." he said and walked out of the dinner table with Michelle following behind him.Nathan got up and left as well, leaving I and Mr Davis and Vivian who chuckled softly."Haven't you done enough, Annabel?" she grinned "You're starting to look mentally ill.""I won't stop until I have exposed you both." I retorted.Mr Davis rose from his chair and stopped in front of me."You're done grieving your mother and daughter so quick?" he asked as he lit a cigarette, "Stop this now, Annabel.""No, you started this." I paused and added, "I'll end it."Mr Davis closed t

I was so close to victory, so close to avenging my daughter and mother's death."Why..why is he doing this to me?" I cried against his chest, "I am fighting for us, why doesn't he understand?""Let the proceedings continue," the Judge declared and I turned to Scott standing tall and extremely handsome in the witness box.He continued, "Since I and my wife lost our child, Your Honor, she has not been well.

    Scott's POVThe doctors did not let me through the hospital room no matter how much I pleaded. I remained outside, pacing and panicking. I'd overreacted and I cursed myself for that. I turned and found my dad and stepmom walking towards me. Before they could get to me, I walked hastily towards my dad, grabbed his collar and hit him hard against the wall."Are you happy now?!" I shouted as I gritted my teeth, "How do you feel making me do all of this, you bastard?!" "Stop it, Scott!" cried Vivian, "He's your father!"Calling this inhumane and selfish man my father only aggravated the anger I felt in my heart. I tightened my grip on his collar."I curse the day you became my father!" I said to his face but this man simply laughed and stared at me like all that anger meant nothing.He said, "Do you not want to see your daughter and your dear Annabel again?"Upon hearing that, I let go off his collar as much as I hated to."Good boy," he nodded while grinning, "So shove all that anger d

    Annabel's POVI was wheeled into the theatre while I heard Scott screaming for the doctor to let him in. After much talking, they finally shut the door on his face."Ahh.." I screamed as I bit on my lower lips to ease the pain. I felt a syringe go into my arm and few moments later, the pain gradually reduced. "Don't worry," the female doctor casually rested her hand on my arm, "You'll be fine."I saw the nurses prepare for scan. I looked around confused and said to the doctor, "What's wrong with me?"She smiled softly and answered, "You're two months pregnant dear and you need to pay extra care to your children's health."I squeezed my face as the nurses lifted my shirt and pressed the scan instrument on my belly.I asked the doctor, "Children??"She nodded as she ordered the nurses to pull the monitor closer for me to see. My lips parted as I watched two little foetus developing inside of me. "I can't tell you their sex yet but I could guess you'll be having fraternal twin, Mrs Dav

    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. Howeve

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!"

    Annabel's POV"By anything, do you mean the way you murdered Mrs Elizabeth Davis just to become the second and only wife?"Staring at my face wondering how I knew, she did not immediately reply. Few seconds passed and then she stepped up and said, "Yes. I mean just that."I laughed haughtily as I returned to my seat, swiveling the chair as I stared at the furious woman in front of me.I replied, "You didn't think I came all the way here just to get killed, did you?"She scrunched up her face as she grimaced, "What do you mean?""Nevermind," I breathed, "You may excuse me now, I was studying just how to make Davis Industries become a better place when you barged in."After a long and hard look, she angrily picked up her bag and dashed out, slamming the door behind her. An immense satisfaction hit me.

I quickly understood what he meant so I phoned my driver parked at a distance. When the car arrived, we got into it and left the park. Several meters away, I asked the driver to stop and then told him to leave. "I will call for you few minutes from now." I said to him and as he shut the door, silence rented the air. "I..I thought she..she is dead." Jaggers said, "She..she looks nothing like Annabel. I..I still don't believe it's her." "It's her." I replied, "She's changed everything about her to hide her identity." "Including faking her death all those years ago?" I nodded Jaggers chuckled, "All this to get back at us?" "We hurt her." I said despite myself, "And she resorted to this following Myron's advice." "I'm afraid, with the way she's moving, she could hurt herself." Jaggers tho

Looking around, I found the entire restaurant empty with just a table occupied by I and Mr Davis.He must be really serious about me. It's a good thing, I thought as I exchanged greetings with Mr. Davis who rose on his feet and pulled out the chair for me."Thank you." I said as I took my seat."I'm glad you came alone, Natalia." he said to me, "I hope you didn't get any trouble on the way?""None except me wondering why a married man wants to meet with me privately," I answered, "Looking around, it's not hard to tell that you bought this entire restaurant."Mr Davis chuckled, "Ah, c'mon Natalia. Quit the formalities." he drew close and held my hand, "You know the reason why I called you here."I replied, "I'm not so sure."He grinned, "I guess beautiful women like you love playing hard to get."I sipped my wine, "Hard to get?

On second thoughts, I wondered why my secretary did not inform me of his messages. I scrolled through my phone and called Claire."Good morning, ma'am." her voice came through."Morning, Claire. No messages from Mr. Davis??""N-no, ma'am. None at all.""When did you start lying to me?" I asked, disappointed, "I received messages from him to my private number this morning and he lamented on his messages left unattended.""Why did you not inform me?""Please madam..forgive me," she pleaded with a shaky voice, "I..I really wanted to inform you however the..the boss warned me not to. I..I had no choice.""The boss?" I repeated, "You mean, my husband?""Yes ma'am..please forgive me!""It's fine, Claire but the next time you do this I'll have you fired immediately!"

I was just excited to see you.""Enough, Jaggers. Give me the document!" Fabian ordered and took a close look at them."You will need to get the information of the shares from the files in your office, sir." said Jaggers.Fabian sighed. He looked like leaving me for a second could cost him his life. At last he rose from his seat,"I'll be right back, Natalia."I nodded and watched him leave. I picked my glass of wine and had a sip."Mr Jaggers." I called out loud, making him turn his gaze to me.I smiled and he smiled back, quite awkwardly.I hit the nail on the head and asked, "Where are my mother's assets?"

I could only remember one name and I continued to repeat it until my memories came back. "Scott is not here, Natalia," Myron answered me, a deep frown settling on his face. I came to my sense and heaved a sigh while I held unto my head. "You shouldn't have done that," the scolding began, "You could have gotten yourself killed! If I had not arrived on time, the worse could have happened." I replied after some seconds, "As long as the Davis' are now sure that I'm not Annabel, I'll be fine." "Don't you do this again." his deep voice remained firm, "All of this is not worth losing your life." "I would do anything to get my revenge," I said, "Anything.

Nathan said to me, "Maybe you could have some to prove to him that he's wrong."I smiled, "I didn't know I would be coming here to prove myself.""It's just to shut Scott's big mouth up!" Michelle claimed as she drank her coffee.I'm glad for the impossibility to hear one's heartbeat. Otherwise, the Davis' would have perceived my fear quite easily.My hand shook as I picked up the cup of coffee and brought it close to my lips.
