Annabel's POV

I 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.

    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

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 gave a quiet scream, not wanting to wake my kids however Myron was beyond control."Not today, Annabel!"He took both my hands and pinned them above my head. My eyes widened as I stared up at him, frightened."It's been three years," he groaned, "Three long years Annabel. I thought after what happened with Scott all you needed was time. I have given you time yet you keep drawing away from me! What do you want me to do?! Just tell me. What do I do to make you love me?!"The room became so silent, that I could hear my own heartbeat. I bit my lower lip before I spoke.Tearing my gaze away from him, I said, "Let me go, please." After a moment of hesitation, Myron got off me and walked out of the room slamming the door with a thud.

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?

    Annabel's POVI was excited to receive this message from Mr. Davis. It meant that he must have considered giving me what I requested for. 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.

    Annabel's POV I woke up with a heavy bang inside my head the next morning. For a few minutes I couldn't make sense of who I am or who the man staring back at me is. 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. Why should I keep living knowing that the people who re-wrote my whole life are alive and well?" "Because of your kids??" he mentioned and added, "And people who love yo

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.

One by one the family descended from the stairs and greeted me cheerfully. In few minutes we were all seated, except Samantha who has been taken up the stairs by her nanny."Thank you for honoring the invitation, Natalia," said Mr Davis, "I hope you'll enjoy the food."I smiled and mouthed the words, 'thank you.'"And your husband?"

Myron was in the shower and I was patiently waiting for him to explain what Scott had said.So he had my mother's assets?? The properties the Davis' took away from me. Why didn't he tell me?? I was about raging but took another glass to calm myself down. I do not know the truth yet.Scott could have said that to make me loose my guard.But then again, I wasn't so sure.

I didn't look back nor did I make any movement.About five minutes later, large arms wrapped around my waist pulling me in. I felt his bulge on my behind. He is always this way around me.

"Scott, you've to stop now!" Mr Davis ordered, grabbing hold of his son but Scott broke from his hold. He was furious as he glared daggers at Myron. Then he turned to me, "Annabel, you have no idea who this man is! He took all of your mother's assets and God knows what he's done with them!" "Mr Davis, I think you need to go home and rest." I said casually, "It appears that you've lost your mind." He chuckled, "No, Annabel, you are the one who has lost her mind. What do you think you're doing calling this man your husband?!" He came closer, "Where are my boys?!" My eyes widened and lips parted open but I quickly changed my expression. How did he know this? I told no one. No one knew I was pregnant before I left New York.

I needed to be sure that they were a part of this interview.And then my gaze fell on their table. It was a good thing I had my shades on because I teared up when I saw Scott. He didn't age at all, he was still the same hot, handsome guy I'd fell in love with.My heart beat doubled and I began to fidget underneath the desk. My voice broke as I answered most of the questions even though I was trying hard to keep it in.When I looked towards their direction again I was surprised to see Samantha leaning on Scott. I caught the resemblance and it wasn't long before I understood that Sam must be Scott and Michelle's daughter.I bit my lower lips as tears threatened to fall from my eyes.
