Annabel's pov
#The next morning at school ."Hey , don't you guys also think you should lessen up a bit in the security ?. I mean ,you guys are pretty much " I turned to the guards and chuckled as I walked through the lobby.They kept a straight face without saying anything."Okay , I need an answer " I stopped walking and they stopped also .Their faces were still void and none of them was making an attempt to reply me."Won't you ....." I tried saying."That was an empty joke, ma'am "one of them suddenly interrupted.I scoffed and turned to the guard who did spoken .Seriously?An empty joke ?Oh my God .I smirked and moved closer towards him.
"Did you say an empty joke?" I asked.He took his face away and adjusted his sunglasses then glanced back at me."I mean..n....""Annabel" Darrel called from behind and I turned around.Huh?"Darrel...hey" I waved at him.The previous guard cleared his throat."Were

Annabel's pov"Darrel ?, who are you ?" he asked."I'm his friend so please let me in " I replied and he twitched a little."He didn't inform me he is expecting any guest but ,wait here while I go inform him" he said and wanted to close the door but I stopped him."Stop .I didn't tell him I will be coming over because it's a surprise "I quickly said.He scrutinized me again with his eyes before opening the door wider enough for me to pass through.I walked inside and locked the door."Follow me" he said and started walking towards the house then I followed staring around his family's mansion.Their mansion is nice though.I shrugged and when I noticed I had been taking slow strides while staring at the house and the gate man was walking far ahead of me ,I quickly ran after him.We got to the house and he pressed the door bell. Minutes passed before Darrel opened the door."Wha..." he tried saying as h
Annabel's pov"What the heck ?!! ..." Someone shouted from behind and I quickly moved away from him.Darrel looked at me and quickly composed himself .We turned around and it was his friends .We turned around and it was the guys.What?.I blushed in embarrassment and threw my face away.What the hell ?How did they even enter here and since when have they been standing there without us knowing.Why did have to enter now when we were in that position and ruin my beautiful moment with Darrel ."Uhh... Darrel , you didn't tell us Annabel will be coming over " one of them said.Wait.He knows my name ?How?I turned to Darrel and he seems somehow uneasy .He folded his lips in and moved his gaze on me."She didn't ....I mean ,she just came ...uhm..." he stuttered nervously.Did he suddenly lost his voice with that little contact between us a while ago?."
Annabel's pov"Where are you coming from, Ana "I heard dad's voice and I stopped dead in my track with my heart beating like a party drum.I turned beside me and saw him seating on the couch with his legs crossed .My heart skipped and my breath became rough.Oh God.I'm so dead.But why would he choose to come home today of all days ,huh?And I totally didn't have a clue about it .Gosh !.I began racking my brain for a lie."Choose your words wisely cause you can't possibly lie to me after I did caught you in the act " he said.JeezJust from the way he spoke ,you would know he was damn angry . Like , damn .... angry at me.I sighted Samantha from the other end and she quickly took her eyes away from mine .Lord have mercy!.I finally decided to tell the truth cause he obviously won't buy my lie."I am coming from a friend's house " I confessed.His brows perked up an
Annabel's povMy heart skipped and my mouth dropped opened.Wha.. what ?...He...he love me ?.I stared at his face in shock and he nodded. " I'm really in love with you Annabel , the feelings has always been there " he added.I scoffed silently and took my face away."Are you saying this because of the kiss we shared ?" I asked and glanced at me.He shook his head and took a step closer to me."No, you heard me, the feelings has always been there " he replied.Oh , God.This is so hard ."I.... don't know what to say ..." I mumbled."I want an answer right now , Annabel. Do you also feel like that towards me ?" he asked."I...I don't know ,but ,I would like to think about it ?" he scoffed.Hmmm?...He moved closer to me and I took a step back."Can you just give me my answer now ?. I know you feel the same way towards me, Annabel " he said softly.I opened my mouth to talk but I
Annabel's pov"Samantha" I called from behind.She jerked back and glanced back and sighed when she saw me."Gosh. You scared me .When did you arrive " she asked as she browsed through the closet."Can...can I ask you something ..." I said nervously and nippped at my bottom lip ."Of course " she rolled her eyes and removed an hanger and scrutinized the cloth that was hung on it.She moved closer to me and placed it on my skin ."I think this looks good " she muttered and checked it on my body also."Okay.It looks nice for the show " She smiled.Huh?"Wait , today is the show ?" I scoffed."Of course . Don't tell me you have forgotten " Sam's replied and turned around."Okay ,I really don't feel like going to the show today " I huffed."Okay , you really have to go " She replied."Geez ,Sam .I' ve got somethi
Annabel's povI walked inside the building and all the heads turned to look at me .*Oh, that's Longworth daughter **Wow, she's beautiful** She's the daughter of the man that owns this company *They kept on murmuring and I just kept my head straight.I branched at the receptionist post and she smiled ."Miss Annabel . it's really an honour getting to see you like this.If you don't know , you're my role my model and ...""Please " I cut in with a gentle smile .The least I want now is listening to her words which I'd heard from so many people all this while ."I am here to see dad . Which floor ?" I asked."If you don't mind I can take you there " she volunteered."Nope you still have a lot of customer to deal with " I replied.she glanced behind me and nodded."Okay.Second floor . Walk down to the end of the hallway and you will sight the elevator private elevator which will take you there "She directed
Annabel pov"Your boyfriend?, you have a boyfriend?." Elsa asked with a smile.I nodded shyly and her smile grew wider ."Do you mind telling us the name.." she asked.I looked up at her and shook my head.Are you afraid we will snatch him from you ?. Elsa teased and I blushed.** |•Darrel's Pov•|A smirk crawled up to my face as I watched Annabel's show with Elsa.Why would she call me her boyfriend when she is yet to accept my feelings for her.Or, is she confessing it to me indirectly on the television .uhm...* Mr Longworth's PovI thought she said he is just a friend .Then, why the hell will she say he is her boyfriend on the show .Why is she even. putting his head band on in the first place ?.I shook my head and smiled when I saw her act shyly.I can see you are in love , Annabel.And am go
Annabel's povAn alarm shrilled in my head .A game ?.For a minute,my heart stopped beating.Darrel is playing with my feelings?.No way .!I stared up at her in disbelieve. What's she spluttering?."Look ,Mia ,I don't really have time for this bullshit of...""Oh .I see .You still don't believe me .You know , some people learn the hard way so I guess that's the part you have chosen .Then, I guess I have nothing to say again , good luck with your charming delusional boyfriend " she said sarcastically and walked away.I stared at her fading figure and for a moment there ,I did a flash back to the boy's restroom .Darrel said he has something to tell me when I made to leave for the restroom.Could.... could it be he wanted to talk about this?,Probably ?."But , let see if he will later on tell you about the
Epilogue ~One month later~I entered the living room and glanced around looking for Darrel. It has been a month already . That day still felt like yesterday when Mr Roosevelt and my family reconciled in Florida . We have came back to Houston and life couldn't be more good with Darrel around. Fred, I will call him Fred since that is what I know him as .The judge sentenced him to eight years imprisonment.Thankfully , the police were able to apprehend the man that ordered him to do those evil acts and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.The man at the top was also caught and he was given five years imprisonment. Dad dismissed all of the workers in the mansion before we returned, because one of them was giving bout information about what's happening in the house. Darrel asked me to come over to his house today that he has something to show me
Annabel's povMy heart thumped with excitement as I saw him.oh,my.He stared at me quietly before moving his eyes to the guy.He gazed at him confusedly and the guy scoffed."What?, you are also surprised ?" he asked.Darrel sighed and nodded.The guy began walking towards him with the knife on his hand.I quickly scrutinized Darrel with my eyes and saw he wasn't holding any weapon.What?."Darrel ,he is with a knife !." I yelled out but it turned into a muffle instead because I was gagged with a tape.Instantly , there was a black out.Huh?.I strained my eyes in the darkness , trying to see if I can detect anything.Where are they?."What the fuck !" I heard the guy cursed angrily."Darrel?" I muffled and started whimpering.Oh! lord have mercy on your daug

I asked and he nodded."Do you actually think there won't be an enemy for a man as famous and wealthy as Longworth ."he chuckled as he decend the remaining stairs."Then tell me whoever is behind this ,dad,I can't wait to ....""Do you really care about her that much ?" he interrupted with a scoff."Anyway it isn't something you can handle alone , infact , you shouldn't get involved in it.Leave the matter let me handle it my way ,I know exactly what to do " he added.I relaxed back on the couch and sighed in relief."Thank you Dad"** Annabel's povI got out of the bathroom to my room to pick up my ringing phone."Hey, Fred" I said as I picked up the call."Anna" he called.I could fee
|• Darrel's pov •|I knocked on the metal gate for the fifth gate .Finally ,the door sprawled open and the gate man stuck his head out.When he saw me,he scoffed and frowned."What are you doing here again ,I thought...""Please, just tell me , what's up with Annabel ,huh?" I interrupted him."How many times do I have to tell you , you can't see her at the moment , she's very...""Bullshit !, bullshit man, just tell me , okay?"I ranted angrily.This has always been his reply everytime I come here to ask for Annabel.She hasn't been in school for weeks now and I can't even reach her.I was damn worried that something might have happened.Damn worried.And, it's not possible that she cut me off line, it's impossible.Minutes later ,a deep voice sounded from the inside ."Who's there" the voice asked.He came to view and I recognized him to be one of
Annabel's pov.....*Samantha closed my luggage box and glanced back at me."I thought we are done with you getting teary every second " she sighed."Anyway,am done parking your clothes .I will go inform your parents " she added and walked out.I sniffed and wiped my tears away.I stood up and walked to the curtains then drew them apart.I stared out in the open and sighed.The morning seems quiet and cool ."I will miss everything .." I muttered.Every single thing.I closed the curtains and walked to the bathroom .I opened the tap and stretched my hands under the pouring water and rubbed it again each other.I sprinkled some water on my face and look at myself in the mirror.We're leaving.we're leaving here .For a moment ,I saw the mirror smiled sadly at me and said it will also miss me .Gosh!.I held my head in my hand and moved back inside the room.
Annabel's povHe slowly raised his head up to look at me."What's all this ...who took it, when ?" he asked .His eyes were clouded with nothing but concern .Oh, God.The video shows the part when I was in the toilet and when I tasted my urine . When I still under their bullies and when I pooed in my panties when they bullied me one day and I didn't actually thought there would be a camera.God have mercy!."Annabel, c'mon . Tell me who did this "Darrel demanded angrily.I shook my head and placed my hand on my mouth and tears poured out of my eyes.Darrel sighed and brought his hand to his head then brought it back then."Let's go to my car" he said after glancing around and seeing the students gaze on us.I nodded and we both walked to where he parked his car in the lots.He opened the door for me and I hopped in then he closed it and went around the car to occupy the driver's seat ."Now , tell me.
|• Darrel pov•|"A friend" I asked and she nodded."Then, what happened " I asked."Well, Longworth betrayed him " she shrugged.Before I could ask what she meant, she countinued ."Their partnership yielded many success and as time goes on ,they processed a contract and they got it and trust me ,it was a happy moment for the both families .But, one day , your dad suddenly told Mr Longworth that they should end the contract without a reason " she expounded."So, it was dad's fault " I sighed and drop my hand from her shoulder."No .it was partly Longworth's fault too cause if he hadn't gotten angry by his words ,they should probably still be friends now " she replied."The contract worth a fortune ,you know .So I don't know why your dad would want them to drop out it, all of a sudden " she added."Mr. Longworth got angry at dad and ..." "End
Unknown pov countd"Client" I repeated and nodded."So,what now , are we going to abort the mission I asked ?" I asked.He shook his head and smirked lightly."No, I don't know but for now ,I want you to withdraw any plan you have sketched out on killing her beforeHe shook his head and smirked lightly."No .I don't know but for now,I want you to withdraw any plan you have sketched out on killing her before" he replied."Thank God the poison doesn't kill immediately " I sighed."What do you mean " he frowned."Well I said I will poison her and I have kinda done that a long time ago and...""And what ?, don't tell me you already ..""Hear me out first .That poison only kills when it has been taken consecutively in a week which I did plan on doing but I guess I will have to stop that now ".* |•Darrel's pov •|I moved inside the house and met mom on the couch ,filling
Annabel's povI stared at Darrel blankly not knowing what to say .What the hell just happened?."Did ...did I say anything wrong ?" he asked , speechlessly."Of ..course not " I shook my head."But ,I really don't know what's going on . Wait here ,I will be back " I said and as I stood up he, stopped me ."No, I will like to take my leave now . Your parents expression isn't funny " he said and stood up and after offering me a small smile ,he walked towards the entrance door ."Wait ,I should at least accompany you outside " I sighed."Sure" he shrugged slowly."Annabel !. " I heard mom called and turned to see her on the stairs ."Be up in a minute , like now" she said , more like a command.Oh,God.I wonder what the hell is happening .Why did dad acted like that after hearing his second name ,huh?.Darrel stopped walking and glanced back at me."Well, I'm sorry . You have to go now " I said sof
