Scott's POV"Scott, Myron is Natalia's husband and the father of her kids."Shock registered on my face. In Myron's file, he wasn't married neither did he have children at that time.My father continued, "Considering the state our company is right now, going against someone like Natalia and her husband is tantamount to digging our graves.""He stole from us!" I said gritting my teeth, "After you ruefully took all of Annabel's asset you handed it down to him and he ended up running away with it.""Scott that's all in the past now," he replied, waving it off with his hands, "What we should look forward to is the future and do you know what I see?""A collaboration with Myron and Natalia once they arrive at New York." he grinned, "We will use their influence and power to climb to the top again."Disgusted, I shook my head, turned around and left.The next day was the big day. News had it that Natalia's flight would be landing by two that afternoon and her interview with Broadway Cast was
Annabel's POVI didn't think twice before walking into the plane with my baby boys. London holds no memories for me, except being the birth place of my boys.I was eager to return to New York where everything began and where everything would end.I slept through the journey and I was grateful that Myron helped watch over Liam and Ethan. Before we got on the plane, they were sober and angry over leaving New York. No matter how much I coaxed them, they remained mute and wouldn't speak. However, once we got on the plane they soon forgot about London and became mesmerized by the flight. They wouldn't stay put nor would they keep quiet.Since Myron bought the entire business class, I had little to worry about. I was fed up of having to control them that I fell asleep. When I awoke, I found them asleep on Myron's chest. Myron was sleeping soundly as well. I took a seat beside them and watched them sleep, guilt eating at my heart.Each day, I wondered if Liam and Ethan would hate me when t
Annabel's POV"Only my Daddy calls me cherry."I blinked twice and instantly became nostalgic. I didn't think any parent would choose cherry as their kid's nickname.This is because while I was pregnant with Samantha, I and Scott chose a unique nickname that would just be common to our baby alone. Well, turns out it's now popular."Oh," I replied and giggled, "I call my boys cherry as well."She didn't respond but just looked at me."What's your name?" I asked."Samantha."I smiled, remembering my baby girl, "That's nice."I gave her my hand, "C'mon, I'd help you find your Daddy!"She gave me her tiny hands right away and I felt the warmth, something jumped excitedly inside of me. I guess it's just the way I am with kids, besides, she looks cute to let go."There you are!" Myron found me "I got scared thinking you've been abducted by your fans!"I chuckled, "It was hard finding my way back."Myron's brows knotted as he stared at the little girl, "Who is she?""She's lost. I want her t
Scott's POVWhen we arrived home I took Samantha into my room and shut the door from behind."Scott, are you okay?" Nathan asked from outside."Yes.""You're not attending the interview?? Everyone's gonna be there.""No, I'm not." I gave a curt reply "I don't want to talk to anyone nor do I want anyone coming to my room. Y'all can go, I'll be good here."Nathan shrugged, "Oh, okay."With Nathan gone, I walked to the wine cellar and fetched a glass and a bottle. Samantha's watchful gaze swamped my whole body.I shouldn't be drinking in front of her but right now I was pissed and I needed to calm down.After a few downs I moved towards my daughter seated quietly on the bed."I'm sorry I lost focus and got you lost," I said to her but she wasn't mad.With a huge smile on her face she stretched out her arm and I wondered what was on it.I raised her sleeve and found an autograph."Who did this?""A kind lady at the airport," she answered, "She let me stay with her kids until the guard bro
Scott's POV "Do you mind taking off the shades?" the host asked and Natalia gave a small smile. Her fans behind us began to cheer for her to take off the shades. I was on the edge of my toes when her hands went up to her face and pulled off the shades. When she looked up, she looked straight at me. Current coursed through my veins as I slowly stood up from my seat. "No.." I whispered. "God...no.." I mumbled underneath my breath as my gaze locked on Natalia. The interview had paused at that moment because everyone's eyes were on me now. Fans behind were ravaging at me but right now no on else mattered because in this vast hall there is only I and Annabel. "Scott??" Nathan came and stopped beside me, "What's the problem?" Michelle yelled from her seat, "Scott you're interrupting the interview!" "No.." I breathed, my eyes still locked on the woman I thought has been dead. The woman whose eyes and smile has plagued my dreams for the past three years. "Scott??" Nathan tried to shak
Annabel's POVI thought I was ready to face the Davis'. Myron was close by to give me the courage I need. I started well with the interview however, I needed to know where the Davis' were seated. 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. Even after three years, it still hurts when I think about it. After killing my poor daughter, they are happy with
Annabel's POV Myron rose to his feet, wiping the blood of the corner of his mouth. As much as I wanted to question him on Scott's assertions, I didn't want to give myself away. "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. "Mr Davis, I have no idea what you're talking about." "Oh, you will!" he smirked, "
Annabel's POVIt was twelve am at night but I wasn't asleep yet. I was standing in front of the curtained glass, deep in thoughts. 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. The rage and fury on Scott's face appears in my mind each now and then. Besides, Myron did not deny the accusations. I heard the bathroom glass make a slow sound and I knew that he had stepped out. 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. When he began kissing my neck and shoulders, I stepped out of his grip.He looked surprised, "Is there someth
Annabel's POV"Mrs Wilson is here." the servant announced. I walked into the house majestically, their eyes settling on me. Unlike before, their gazes were filled with contempt, uncertainty and fear. But Scott's was filled with a mixture of love and anger."The atmosphere is.." I paused and finished with emphasis "Tensed."Vivian shot up angrily, "What do you think you're doing here? What gives you the audacity to walk into this house after throwing my husband in jail?!""Your husband?" I rolled my eyes, "Stop with that phrase, honey. If anyone should get out of this house it should be you. You have no right to be here."Her face turned red like a beetroot."Excuse me?" Nathan interfered, "I won't have you walk into my home to insult my mother, Mrs Wilson."I chuckled, "But your mother started it. I came here in peace. In fact I came here to provide a solution to y'all's problem." I took the seat next to me and crossed my legs as they continued to stare at me."Sit down will you?"
Michelle's POVWe were all seated in front of the TV however none of us could actually stare at it for long. It was humiliating and shameful to see those demeaning comment on our family.These comments came from reporters, bloggers, hateful people and of course, rivals. A day has passed since Mr Davis got arrested and yet none of us could summon the courage to even pay him a visit.The least we could do was call and send a message hoping his lawyer would get him out somehow.Having lived a life of luxury and none of shame and humiliation, this was certainly a difficult time for all of us.Nathan grunted as he picked up the remote and switched off the TV.Vivian was the first to speak, "I can't believe this is happening.""You wouldn't have had to believe it if y'all had believed me when I said that Natalia is Annabel." Scott replied."What does Natalia have to do with this??" Nathan. hissed."This has always been her plan. If you stop to think for a moment you would realize that-""Le
Annabel's POVI was watching the news that evening for the umpteenth time. The one that clearly captured Mr Davis being cuffed and escorted into the police van and Vivian avoiding the cameras with her head bowed.A satisfied smile adorned my lips and I could not stop putting the video on replay. I am close to my goal. Soon, my late daughter and mother will rest in peace knowing that their death was avenged.I sipped my wine and wondered how Mr Davis was faring in jail. I had managed to cancel every grant for bail for the meantime but I knew it won't be for long.Still I was satisfied knowing that he would be spending tonight behind bars. That is where he truly belongs and until I make sure he gets sentenced there for life, my revenge will not be successful."Natalia," I lifted my gaze and found Myron descending from the stairs, "You're here. It's pretty late, won't you come to bed? You had a long day.""I'm alright. You don't need to wait for me," I told him, "I will be sleeping in a
Annabel's POV "Well...uh.." she stuttered, "T-the shareholders are downstairs with the police. They want Mr Davis arrested!""Really?" I exclaimed, a smile liting up my face when I suddenly remembered and quickly got a hold of myself."Oh.. that's bad.." I said, pretending to look sad. I picked up my bag and slipped my phone into it. I would have to speak to Williams later.I said to the receptionist, "Let's go." The ground floor and the people on it was in total disarray. Somehow, the paparazzi had managed to force their way into the company and the guards and few cops around struggled to hold them off.The shareholders had come with some cops as well and their faces was anything but pleasant."We have all worked together," said Mr Davis to the shareholder, "Surely you should know that this is just a business loss that can happen to any company.""It is not a business loss, Mr Davis," the leader of the shareholders replied, "It is YOUR business loss and we are simply investors in y
Annabel's POVI smirked, "Oh, I am dead serious Princess."One of the executives spoke, "Mrs Wilson, you might be the top shareholder of the company but Mrs Davis has been helping to lead this company long before you joined it. She has every right to remain the advisor of this company.""And you must be her errand dog, Mr Gilbert?" I countered, "I'm sorry to break it to you but Mrs Davis here is no longer Mrs Davis. She is divorced."The Executives gasped while Scott simply shut his eyes and shook his head."Since I now have the final say in this company, she will resign her position as advisor immediately."Vivian looked towards Mr Davis with a plea in her eyes. Her body trembled when Mr Davis looked away and gave her no response.The fire bubbled up inside of me. I could describe how she felt very easily. I have felt it before, when she made me divorce Scott and then threw me out of the house.I helped her with the documents and handed her a pen. Our gazes locked and made sure she c
Annabel's POVI glared at him, "You attempted murder, Myron!""I didn't do anything," he denied, "How could you accuse me of such, Natalia?""I know you, Myron," I answered, "I know what you're capable of. Out of jealousy, you tried to murder Scott.""Natalia, that was an accident for god's sake! Contrary to what you think, it could not have been planned. It could have happened unexpectedly. Perhaps the driver was distracted or something-""No, Myron." I whispered underneath my breath, "That was no accident. I saw it. There's no way in hell that the driver of that car knew that Liam would bolt unto the road suddenly. His target was Scott, and Liam got in the way. Not to mention the fact that there was no one else on that road except I and Scott and Michelle."Silence hung in the air as Myron stared at me with an expressionless face. "You're worked up, Natalia," he spoke calmly, "You need to rest."I shook my head pitifully at him."It better not be true, Myron," I told him, "I will h
Annabel's POV"Where were you the entire day?" I asked. The abruptness of my question must have shocked him because his surprised expression showed that he was not expecting that question."At the company," he answered, looking away and adding under his breath, "Where else would I have been?""Your absence was unusual, Myron and even now, your calmness baffles me."He sighed, "I am deeply worried about Liam, Natalia. I thought prioritizing his wellbeing and then finding the criminal later would be the right thing to do. I'm sorry if I do not meet your expectations."All this while, he kept avoiding my gaze and his answer was not the least satisfying. Or perhaps I'm overthinking things. Myron would never plan an accident on Liam. Even though he is not his biological son, Myron cherishes my boys.Except the accident was not meant for Liam.I turned my gaze and stared at him again, my mind taking me back to the scene of the accident. For one thing, the accident was definitely planned.
Annabel's POV"I'm sorry, Mrs Wilson but your blood type is not a complete match to your son's."I rose to my wobbly feet in a start, not failing to see the shocked look on everyone's faces."D-Doctor," I began, "You..you must be mistaken. I am his mother. I gave birth to him, I-""I understand how you feel right now, Mrs Wilson but it's your son's life here. He needs blood immediately and yours is not a complete match." the Doctor explained."B-but how is that possible?" Michelle exclaimed, as shocked as I was, "She is his mother. Who else would have a better match?""Mrs Davis, things like this are possible medically." the Doctor explained, "She could be his mother but their blood group can differ. It does not mean she is not his mother."He paused and added, "There is nothing to worry about. In cases like this, the father of the child holds the complete match so it's a good thing Mr Wilson is here."I shivered. There is no way on earth Myron's blood would match Liam's. Moreover, I
Scott's POV"Liam!!"Annabel's piercing scream filled my ears and interrupted my call. Sensing danger, I turned abruptly, in time to find Liam running to me with his outstretched arms and smiling face, but too late to realize the speeding car racing towards us.My eyes widened as my phone dropped to the ground and ran towards him, hoping to get to him before the car."Liam!" his name erupted from my lips just when the car ran him over and brushed past me, sending me with a thud to the ground.For a moment, I could not process anything as I had hit the back of my head hard against the tarred road. "Oh my God! Scott..Scott.." Michelle was next to me, "Are you..are you okay?"I could hear her clearly but I struggled to make sense of my surroundings as she helped me sit up."You're bleeding!" Michelle gasped and began to fumble for her phone, "Hold on...please keep your eyes open! I'll call 911!"My eyes unconsciously darted a few meters behind Michelle and that was when everything came
