Annabel's POV

"I thought I would be meeting with your father?" I said, ignoring his lustful look at my body. I clutched my bag tightly.

"He'll be here soon," he replied and gestured towards the dinner table.

I turned on my heels and moved towards the area, sitting on the chair Scott pulled out for me. 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?" Scott said sarcastically, "He didn't come with you for fear of being exposed?"

"Scott, please!" Vivian pleaded, "This is supposed to be a merry discussion."

"So, Natalia.." Michelle began, "Have you ever been to New York?"

"I grew up here." I responded, "But I had to move to London few years back when my parents died."

"Oh, that's sad," Michelle sympathized

  • Ex-Wife's Revenge: Love Me Again, Dear Husband    H U N D R E D & S I X T E E N

    Annabel's POVI did not immediately go home after my encounter at Michelle's. I couldn't. Knowing what awaits me with the kind of man Myron is, the eagerness to return to the mansion ceased to exist.I simply hanged around restaurants and parks, watched families file in and out, their smiles reaching their ears.The kids at the park could not be any happier. It was the life I wanted for my kids but I seemed to have ruined everything by getting myself involved with Myron.The smile on my lips faded and was replaced by tears. I shouldn't have placed revenge first..I should have remained with Scott...or simply move away from the city and begin a happy life with my kids...I shouldn't have prioritized revenge over my happiness.I did not stop the tears from falling. It was that point I needed a friend...a supporter...a shoulder to cry on but I don't even have that. I have no friends, just enemies- many of them. Especially my mother. I wonder what she would say to me if she were here. She'd

    It was the photo of Mr Crofwell and Mrs King, Annabel's foster mother in his arms.Surprise registered on the faces of George and Vivian. George was the first one to react. He hissed loudly and said,"So Crofwell has a secret, huh?" he chuckled, "The bastard...I knew he should have died.""How's this possible??" Vivian found it hard to believe, "Crofwell's wife isn't Michelle's mother??"Jaggers grinned, proud of himself."As Mrs King's lawyer, I found the woman to be really secretive. She lived life as a middle class woman, selfless, honest and amiable but behind the scenes she was actually a billionairess, selfish, and vile."He continued, "When she was alive, she made people think Annabel is her adopted daughter. However, Annabel is infact Crofwell's daughter."Vivian shifted uneasily in her chair.George commented, "Life's a bitch.""It all began the day I confessed my feelings to Mrs King," Jaggers continued, his mood now somber as he recollected the past, "She was a really beaut

  • Ex-Wife's Revenge: Love Me Again, Dear Husband    H U N D R E D & F O U R T E E N

    Scott's POV Without another word, Annabel turned and walked into her car. I did not stop her even if I wanted to. I felt tired of trying to make her see things the way I see them. How much of a revenge does she crave for that she had to choose Myron over me, over a happy life with our kids? I turned around and walked back into the house. If Annabel does not come to terms with me, I might give up already. Perhaps it's high time I accept the fact that she could never be mine again. "Thank God you're here, Scott!" Michelle approached me the moment I stepped through the door, "I don't know what I would have done to make that sly woman leave me alone." I paused, enough for her to notice my mood. "Is something wrong, honey?" she asked, placing her hand on my shoulders. I exhaled, "I want the truth, Mich." She stiffened, "Don't tell me you believe Annabel's words?" "I-" "You said you're willing to give us a chance. Does that not include you trusting me?" she asked. "I don't trust y

    Annabel's POVLeaving her breathless, he said, "I came for you, not her."I stiffened upon hearing that.Michelle was surprised, "For me??" She questioned, finding it hard to believe. Her gaze fell on me and then back at Scott who wouldn't bat an eyelid towards me."Do.. do you mean that? Or is this a set up? You both are trying to deceive me, aren't you?""No-" I began but stopped when Scott reached out and held Michelle by the waist."This is no deceit, Mich." he said, "I'm willing to give us a chance. I have learned the hard way."Michelle looked into his eyes, hoping he was saying the truth. When she eventually confirmed the honest look in his eyes, she released a sharp breath and threw her hands around him.I stood still, watching the display before me. My heart squeezed inside my chest and even if I wanted to cry, the tears did not come.I guess I must have pushed Scott to his limit and he has finally given up on me. "Oh, Scott!" Michelle exclaimed, her earlier somber expressio

    Annabel's POV"Where's my Daddy?"I paused.I did not expect her to question me but then again, Samantha spent most of her years with Scott and none with me. She would definitely find it difficult to adjust without Scott.My lips parted to explain when Myron poked his head through the door and stepped in fully."I'll be your new Daddy, Samantha." Sam turned towards the voice. Her eyes scrutinized Myron from head to toe. She shook her head."You're not my Daddy." her sharp voice insisted, "I want my Daddy! Take me to my Daddy!"I moved out of the bed and said to Liam and Ethan, "Go to your rooms, Cherry. I'll be right there."Reluctantly, the boys scurried off while I drew near Samantha who had a long face."Cherry, Daddy travelled." I said gently, "He asked mommy to take care of you until he returns.""I will take you back to Daddy when he returns, okay?"She stared at me, "When's he returning?" "Soon, Samantha." I finally gained the courage to hold her and she did not flinch, "Til

    Annabel's POVI opened my eyes, unsure of where I am. It took some seconds for me to recollect earlier events. I sat up abruptly and my gaze landed on Myron who rushed towards me and held me to his chest."I was so worried, Annabel." he said, "How do you feel? Do you want me to call the Doctor?"Before I could answer my gaze landed on a pair of shoe. I lifted my head and looked up. My eyes widened."Sc-Scott?" I mumbled underneath my breath. He came in the end. My first instinct was to jump off this bed and into his arms but I remembered Myron's grip on me.I turned to look at him and then back at Scott."What's going on?" I asked, half expecting one of them to have beaten the other to a pulp. "Annabel, listen to me." Myron made me face him, "I and Scott have come to an agreement. You need to make your choice between him and I.""If you choose me, Scott will never interfere in our lives again," he paused and narrowed his eyes, "But if you choose Scott, you will never see me again."H
