Annabel's POV.

My feet cringed at the smell of coffee but they cringed even more with the willingness to run and get out of here.

But my will for revenge was stronger and I remained glued to my seat, inhaling the allergic scent of coffee.

The eyes of the Davis' were on me, expecting a reaction or rejection of the coffee but none of that happened.

Scott poured coffee into my cup and took the seat next to me.

"You know, Scott says Annabel is allergic to coffee." 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. Silence hung in the air while my heartbeat accelerated.

My breathing became ragged when the scent whipp

    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

    Annabel's POVI retracted my hand causing him to frown. He looked at his palm and then said to me, "Uhm..is there a problem Mrs Wilson or my hands are dirty?"I looked up at him with a smile and nodded, "Yes, they're dirty.""Ah, apologies if that's the case then! 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?" "W-what?"I rose from the chair and stopped in front of him. I repeated, "Where are my mother's assets?""Mrs Wilso

    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 warned and ended the call afterwards.I stepped into the bath and had a quick shower. I

    Annabel's POVI found Mr Davis already waiting for me at the location he'd texted. 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? Did you not think that you might not be pushing the right buttons?"He stared

    Scott's POV "You might want to sit down." I said to him but Jaggers suddenly walked to me and grabbed my arm. "We can't talk here," he spoke quickly, "We need somewhere more safe and secure." 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

    Annabel's POVAt the Davis' mansion, Mr Davis received us warmly and welcomed us to the dinner table. It wasn't long before Michelle and Vivian arrived. Vivian simply waved indifferently at me while Michelle gave me a wink.I looked around for a particular someone but couldn't find him at the table."I am glad that you honored my request for dinner, Mrs Wilson, especially after the accident that occured at my company." Mr Davis said.I smiled, "We're partners now, I do not have any reason to decline your request for dinner.""How has your recovery being? I apologize again."I shook my head as I placed the napkin on my thighs."It's nothing, Mr Davis." I waved it off, "It was only a circumstance. I am fully recovered now.""Very well then, let's have dinner." he declared and everyone began to eat.Despite the clinking of cutleries against the dish wares, the eerie atmosphere was obvious. The silence was loud and I couldn't help but be worried of Scott.I haven't set eyes on him since

    Annabel's POVA week had past since the accident in the elevator. The shareholders meeting was rescheduled and I was introduced as the leading head of the Davis' Industries next to the CEO, Scott.With Scott still heading the company I could not take sole decisions in some certain areas however I could influence it strongly. I am not impatient too, infact, I like my revenge slow-burn.Only that, Myron has now become a leech on my skin. He follows me everywhere and wouldn't let me out of his sight. I wondered how dinner at the Davis' would pull through today."Mommy, mommy, mommy!" Ethan and Liam screamed in unison as they ran through the door and clasped my legs, looking up at me excitedly."Hey, cherries.." I giggled as I raised them both on my arms and settled on the couch, "I see school was fun today, hm?""So much fun, mommy!" exclaimed Ethan.Liam added, "Samantha's Dad took us on sightseeing..he got us a huge bowl of icecream after our fun!"My smile faded and in that instant, M

    Annabel's POV"Maybe it's high time the world knows that she isn't my daughter."Michelle's words rang out a thousand times in my ears."What..what do you mean?" I demanded but she simply rolled her eyes and etched closer to me."I see you as a trusted friend, Natalia.. I've never really had one..so I hope you can keep this a secret." she explained."Yes..yes of course." I agreed immediately, "Well," Michelle took in a deep breath, "Did I tell you that Scott's ex-wife lost her child?."She continued, "Scott loved her very much but she was simply not what he thought her to be and after they lost their daughter, he adopted Samantha just to keep the memory of the unborn child alive.""Oh.." I said silently, "And you? He's.. he's never thought of having a child with you?"Michelle sighed deeply and was about to answer when the door to the room opened and Myron walked in."Hello, Mr Wilson," Michelle greeted, stepping away from me, "I'm glad to see that your wife is okay.""You should inf

    Annabel's POVBright lights illuminated the room I was in. I could barely see anything when I opened my eyes. I sat up on the bed with a groan as a heavy ache came upon my head.I sighed and looked around me. There was no one in the room. I took in a deep breath and memories of being tossed like garbage in the elevator rushed through my mind.Now that I think of it, it was really a nightmare however it didn't feel so at that point in time and it's all thanks to Scott. He had put his life on the line and made sure I didn't sustain any hard injuries.I set my feet on the ground and begin to walk to the door. I should see him and know how he's doing. As my hand rested on the knob, the door opened and Myron stepped in.I drew back.He asked, "Where are you going?" "Is Scott here?" I asked, "I need to know if he's alright and thank him for saving-""That is not necessary, I have thanked him on your behalf. You don't have to go over to him." he cut me off abruptly, his expression dark and

    Myron's POVI grabbed my car keys the moment Natalia hung up. I wouldn't let her continue to do more damage than she already has.I know she wants revenge but her relationship with Mr Davis is becoming suspicious and if I let her continue down that path she might expose herself before long.I slammed the car door shut and turned on the engine. Or maybe I'm only acting this way because I feel insecure. Still, I have every right to behave this way.I could never comprehend the idea of Scott and Annabel together. I have grown to love her so much that I can never do without her nor can I watch her in the arms of another arm.It was for this reason I never wanted us to come to New York and now that we're here, it is left to me to keep what is mine. Now that Annabel has managed to climb to the top of the stakeholders building in the Davis Industries, it means that there will be frequent contact between her and Scott.I swerved to the right, passing the speed limit as I tightened my hands ar

    Annabel's POVI lifted my gaze to find Scott. I breathed in sharply, contemplating whether to use the elevator or not. It's already hard when he brings up all that Annabel stuff say less of us being in the same elevator."The meeting is happening on the last floor," his voice pierced my thoughts as his enchanting emerald eyes fell upon my legs, "Considering those high heels, you would only bruise those beautiful legs trying to take the stairs." I sighed and finally forced my legs into the elevator. My breath hitched as the doors closed silently. I couldn't help but ponder what fate was trying to do, bringing I and Scott this close even when I have decided to put the past behind me and get my revenge.Silence reigned and then,"I can forgive you for everything, Annabel but I don't think I can ever forgive you for destroying your lustre hair."I kept mute."Do you remember the night I proposed to you?" he continued, "When I told you how much I love your lustre hair next to how much I r
