Annabel's POV

I rushed towards the witness box, "No, Scott! Don't you dare lie!"

"Order!" the Judge's voice boomed and the policemen grabbed my arm and restrained me from holding unto Scott.

Tears coursed out of my eyes as I screamed, "Your honor, he's lying!"

"Mr Jaggers!" the Judge roared, "Control your client or I'll have to have her dragged out of the courtroom!"

"Please Annabel," Mr Jaggers came to me but I could not stop weeping. 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. I tried to get a therapist to see her because I know the pain that comes with losing a child but she refused my help. Her hallucinations has become so

    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

    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

    Annabel's POVI shot him a gaze and said, "Once I have my kids with me, I'm getting a lawyer and we're getting divorced!"His eyes widened and then in the blink of an eye he swung his arm against the vase on the side table causing it to smash against the wall.I shut my parted lips as I stared at him unbelievably."What do you think?!" his voice rose, "That..that I got this far just to watch you walk out of it?? You wouldn't have come this far without me, Natalia!""You've lost your mind, Myron!" I shouted back, wondering how I was blind to the kind of person Myron truly is. Did my desire for revenge really make me blind to a lot of things?? Did my want to see the Davis' downfall lead me into the mess I'm in now?Should I have never begun this revenge in the first place? "No, you are making me lose my mind Natalia." he replied, narrowing his eyes in a way that made me want to flee from here immediately."And that divorce shit you're talking about? It's never going to happen!" he said

    Annabel's POVIt wasn't till the clock struck nine in the morning did the front door open quietly and Myron gently walked into the house.After pulling off his shoes by the door, he turned around and was startled by my still frame sitting quietly on the couch some meters away from him.He quickly regained his composure and it was at this moment I realized how good Myron is at pretending and hiding his true reflection within him.It is symbolic to the first time I met him when he hid his face behind that mask claiming to have a 'scar.' As we stared at each other now, the years I've spent with him ran past my eyes and I couldn't help but wonder how I never noticed the slightest detail all those years."Natalia-" he called softly as his lips drew up in a seduction smile. Why am I just noticing all of these details now?"What are you doing up so early?" he asked as he walked towards me, "Are you thinking of Liam again?""I am thinking about how long you've made a fool of me, Myron."

    Annabel's POVI couldn't sleep.I couldn't stop thinking either. I kept on weighing possible options on Liam's abductor. My only enemies are the Davis and I only just revealed my true identity yesterday.Could it be possible that to strike back, they abducted my son? I didn't think it likely.And then there is Jaggers threatening me with the life of my sister. I ran my hands through my disheveled hair and sat upright on the bed.I hugged my knees together, whispering bits of prayers for Liam in my heart. I don't know what to do except wait for the abductor to call and demand for his desire. Only then might I be able to discern who this abductor could be.I looked around my room. Since the argument with Myron, I demanded that we sleep in separate rooms. However, right now I really need someone to be with. My thoughts would be the death of me.I got up and slipped my slippers on before walking out of the door. The lights in the house were switched off except for the one downstairs.I st

    "Samantha-" he began, paused and continued, "Samantha is Annabel's daughter."Vivian and Michelle's eyes widened and their lips parted in surprise. Silence hung in the air for a moment, their eyes locked on him in a defiant manner.Vivian swallowed and asked "What do you mean, George?" "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I kept this from you both. Since we'll be working for the same thing now I just thought to come clean and hold back any more secret." Mr Davis apologized but both women were not having it.Vivian thundered again, "What do you mean Sam is Annabel's child?!"Stuttering to himself, Mr Davis could pass for a crazy man. "I...I should have just killed the baby back then...I..I shouldn't have kept it alive." "Are you...are you saying that-" Michelle stammered, paused and continued, "Are you saying that Samantha is..is Annabel's unborn child whom we thought died?"Mr Davis was slow to reply but he eventually nodded his head.Michelle sank to the ground dejectedly.

    "Yes," Mr Davis agreed, "She was the one who took Annabel out years back.""And I believe she can do it again," Michelle said as a matter of fact, "We have to get the company back!"Mr Davis nodded and said after a moment of silence, "I have no idea how to reach Vivian.""I have done that already," Michelle told him, "She is on her way here."True to Michelle's words, Vivian soon arrived. Mr Davis was up on his feet with a remorseful look on his face but Vivian did not spare him a glance."Why did you want me here, Mich?" she said with a straight face, "We could have spoken at a restaurant or somewhere else? I really did not want to step my foot in this mansion ever again."Michelle went to her and held her hands, "I'm glad you did. Look, Aunt we are in serious danger.""I guessed so," Vivian said, "You sounded like someone came back from the dead over the phone.""Someone did come back from the dead."

"Liam, Cherry..where are you?"Scott and Myron drew closer to me upon hearing my words. Scott motioned for me to put the phone on speaker which I did."Mommy!!" Liam screamed again."Oh God.." I trembled hearing the cry of my son, "It's Liam..it's my son..""Who are you?!" I sobbed, "What do you want? Name it. Any amount. Just please don't hurt my son, I beg of you.""He must really mean a lot to you.." the distorted voice spoke."Please-" I begged as I trembled in Myron's arms. "He's.. he's not fully recuperated yet. He's just a child. Why would you abduct a helpless boy?!""Because I want the same thing as you." the voice paused and added, "Revenge.""Revenge?"

Nurses on the grand floor rushed to me upon hearing the screams. One of them held me."What's the matter, Mrs Wilson?" "Where is my son?! Where is Liam?" I fumed, struggling out of the nurses' grip."Ma'am please relax. This is a hospital and your screaming is against hospital rules." the second nurse said to me."Are you insane?"
