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 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
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 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 cont
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

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
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. What did you find on Samantha Davis?" "In order for you to believe that I actually ransacked the ten orphanages in New York, I managed to a get a copy of all the children who got adopted in the exac
