Elizabeth gathered herself together and went down for dinner. Before she left the room, she checked her secret phone and as expected she saw a message.‘Everything is moving smoothly.’ The message reads.There's another one. She opened it. ‘When are we going to meet?’She sighed and looked toward the bathroom door. Richard entered there a few seconds ago before she decided to check her phone. She returned her attention to her phone as she typed.‘Soon. Just be patient, and continue with our plan.’After typing and sending the message, she hid the phone and left the room. She walked down the huge spiral stairs and was walking towards the dining room when Natalie blocked her path. Natalie flashed her a cocky smile as she drank from her bottle of wine. Elizabeth tried not to cringe her nose. Natalie always reeks of alcohol even when she's not drinking one. She wonders what's her problem. What pain is she going through, trying to use the alcohol as her reliever? Well, that's none of he
After dinner, Richard went to his home office. He has a lot of work to do, and he doesn't think if he will even have some sleep tonight. He had worked for about two hours when Elizabeth walked in with a cup of coffee.Richard frowned upon seeing her. He hates what this woman makes him feel. “What are you doing here?” His voice was cold.Elizabeth simply smiled as she dropped the cup of coffee on the table. “I brought you coffee. It will help.”“I don't need it.” Richard replied sarcastically.“You need it. Stop being stubborn. I'm just trying to be a sweet wife.”“Well, you don't have to. Leave with your coffee.”Elizabeth frowned. He is such a stubborn man. She sighed and sat opposite him.“I asked you to leave!”“Why are you so adamant about me leaving? My presence isn't stopping you from working.” She retorted. Suddenly, she smirked and leaned forward, exposing the tip of her cleavage. Richard cursed inwardly and tried not to look. “Is my presence affecting you, Richie? In a way
“Richie, do you think we will be able to create another design before the launching date? I mean, can we meet up with the date?” Elizabeth asked as she sat opposite Richard in his office. Richard has been busy since yesterday. Elizabeth doesn't know if he slept in his home office yesterday night because he was busy or because he was avoiding sleeping in their room with her. “We will, you don't need to worry. Everything will be handled very well.” Richard replied, not sparing her a glance. His eyes were fixed on the laptop in front of him. It's not like he's working, he's just trying to avoid her. “Richie…” “I'm busy.” He cut her off. “Go back to your office, we can talk some other time.” He knows that he can't avoid her, but for now he just wants her to leave. He needs to gather his thoughts. A lot is in his mind, and he feels like he would go crazy. “I've been working since morning. I need a break.” She said with cute pouty lips. “I know that you are also tired of working. Let
After work, Elizabeth didn't make use of her car. She was fast to enter Richard's car before the driver drove away.“What the fuck…. Why are you here?” The startled Richard asked. It was like a flash. He was pressing his phone and the next thing…. She was already in the car that was about to move. Elizabeth flashed him an innocent smile and adjusted to a good position. “My car was having a problem. So I decided to ride with you.” She lied. Of course, her car was full of life. It's just an excuse to ride with Richard.“Then take a taxi.” Richard said coldly and turned to the driver. “Stop the car!”The driver found a good spot on the roadside as he carefully parked the car. “Are you getting off here, Richie?”“You are getting off, not me!”“Woah! Richie, you can even read my mind now. How did you know that I wanted to stop by the mall to get something?”Richard rolled his eyes. Is she dumb or what? “Yeah, mind reading is one of my jobs. Step down already!” He flinched a bit when Eli
Richard removed the coat wrapped around Elizabeth's body by the young man and gave it back to him.“I don't think my wife needs this anymore,” he said and grabbed Elizabeth's hand walking her to the car, but Elizabeth forcefully freed her hand from his grip. “Don't you think that you need to apologize first. You left me here in the cold, and now you come back and you are rude towards the person that was trying to help me.” “I……” he paused and ran his palm through his face. “Does that matter now? Whether I apologize or not, it won't change a thing. Come on, let's go, and stop being stubborn.”Elizabeth glared at him. What was she expecting? He will never change. Always a spoiled brat full of pride. She turned to the young man. “Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.”“You are welcome.” The young man replied with a bright smile. Richard glared at him as he grabbed Elizabeth's hand, dragging her to the car. He's angry, but he can't even explain why he's angry. He opened the c
When Noah saw the news of Richard being married to Elizabeth Carter, he was so disappointed in his best friend. How can he give up on Annabelle? Though they have been searching for her for the past five years and still haven't found her, they still can't give up. He called Richard and he said that he will explain everything to him once he's back. Now that he's back, he can't wait to know why Richard suddenly got married to a woman that nothing much is known about. “Start talking buddy. Who is this Elizabeth Carter and why did you marry her?”Richard doesn't feel like saying anything to Noah right now but he has already promised to tell him everything once he's back. He took a deep breath and explained everything to him. Noah is one person that Richard tells everything to. He literally knows most of Richard's secrets. “So you are saying that you married her because you want to know what her true intentions of blackmailing you is. And right now, it seems that you are slowly falling i
“What? That can't be possible.” Noah cuts in.“Why won't it be possible? She looks like Annabelle and I can't find anything on her as Elizabeth. She reminds me so much of Annabelle. Whenever I'm with her, I feel like Annabelle is there. Even when I kissed her….” He muttered the last sentence. “What if she's Annabelle and her goal is to destroy my family. What if she's here to take away everything my family has. It could be possible that she did surgery to change her face.”“Can you listen to yourself, Richard. Do you think Annabelle is capable of doing that?”“She is. Have you forgotten what she did five years ago.”“Come on buddy….. do you really believe that Annabelle could do such a thing?” Noah said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He has tried severally to make his friend understand that the Annabelle they both knew can't do what they accused her of. Yes, the evidence was there but it was still hard to believe. What if that evidence was made up? Though he has tried to f
Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock. What did he just say? She's Annabelle? What's he blabbing? She's not fucking Annabelle! “You think I will not know? Even if you change your face and change everything about you. I will still recognize you, Annabelle. You can't deceive me,” he said with a dangerous smirk.Elizabeth gulped down, but didn't let her fear show. She's not weak. Elizabeth is never weak. With all her strength she pushed him away. She sat up from the bed as she held her neck, coughing and trying to catch her breath. Richard, who fell on the other side of the huge bed sat up as he glared at her. “What are you doing here, Annabelle. How dare you come back here after what you did.”“I don't know what came over you and what made you to speak such nonsense, but I'm not Annabelle.” Elizabeth said after filling her lungs with air as she climbed down the bed. “You reek of alcohol. I wonder how much you drank to the extent of talking rubbish. You need to go and freshen up. I belie
Elizabeth drove the car by herself, she told her driver that she can handle it. When she was driving to the five star hotel, she noticed that a car was following her. It is definitely Richard. Did he send someone to trail her? Is he that suspicious of her, that he's now watching every one of her movements? She can't just let this be like this. She needs to make him stop being suspicious of her.If not that Mr. Hills said that they must meet today, she wouldn't have left without her driver the morning after Richard accused her of being Annabelle. Not going with her driver will definitely make him suspicious of her movement. But she has no choice. She can't trust anyone. No one must know that she met with Mr. Hills.She brought out her secret phone and quickly texted someone.‘Are you nearby? I want you to stop a car from trailing me. I don't know how you will do it, but you definitely have to pull it off. Richard will be more suspicious of me if he finds out that I meet with Mr. Hills.
Richard still couldn't believe that Elizabeth is not Annabelle. He can't be wrong. She has to be Annabelle. There must be something that will expose her as Annabelle. He remembered that Annabelle has a birthmark under her left breast. He wants to check if the mark is still there, but how the fuck will he do that. The birthmark is fucking under her breast. He will be exposed to her entire breast and even have to raise it up if he wants to see the mark.He remembered the feelings of her breast in his palm, how soft they are. He wanted nothing but to play with them for a very long time until she chickened away. The taste of her lips, her scent, the feel of her body….. everything was driving him crazy that day. He wanted nothing but to fuck the hell out of her.“What the fuck am I thinking?” He muttered when he realized the thought in his mind. “Fuck!” He cursed, noticing his hardened ball.He can't believe that he got turned on by the mere thought of their little make out the other day.
Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock. What did he just say? She's Annabelle? What's he blabbing? She's not fucking Annabelle! “You think I will not know?
