Five months later in Jersey (Country)

Anna groaned when the rays of the morning sun glinted into her eyes. “Fuck, another day of working tirelessly.” She muttered her breath before she heard her roommate's voice coming from their kitchen

Her roommate, Susan, was an older woman, and they had met after Anna finally got a better-paying job in a 5-star restaurant as a chef. She took pity on her after she found out that Anna was an immigrant, and a poor one at that.

“Annabella, are you up? It's 7 am, and we need to leave for work before 8. We won’t be pardoned by the manager if we are late again.” Susan called out to Anna in a high-pitched voice.

Arriving at Jersey, Anna started going by her full name, instead of just Anna, to avoid suspicion in case the twins or anyone was searching for her.

Dragging her heavy body to the bathroom, Anna quickly took her bath because she also knew that she cannot afford to offend her manager or implicate Susan again. The older woman, who she had surprisi

    “Father, are you sure that the bit-girl had already left?” Rebecca gently pulled her father’s sleeve. “Yeah, I didn’t expect her to leave just like that.” Cole replied he knew that Jacob must have found out by now that he was the one that tampered with his deliveries. Rebecca's eyes glinted with satisfaction, she was glad that her plans had worked. That bitch! It was better she knew that she cannot ever have her man! After paying thousands of pounds to buy all her dirty secrets she will be damned if she didn’t use them properly. Cole’s eyes shifted to his daughter’s face and he frowned slightly. “Did you do anything to make her leave too?” He asked Rebecca suspiciously.“I only threatened her. Nothing huge.” She replied with a pout. “Okay, that’s not too bad. Don’t involve yourself too much in this. If Jackson finds out, it might not be favorable to you.” Cole advised his daughter. He was very much aware of Jacob’s evil and ruthless ways of dealing with the mob but Jackson was ano

    “Annabella, pass the salt.” A colleague yelled at her when she was trying to rest for a moment. “Lucia, can you come and get it? I don’t think I can.” Anna groaned as she held her back in pain. She had been working tirelessly since morning because the restaurant had lots of customers today, and she wasn’t even able to take her lunch break. Lucia and the rest of her colleagues scoffed and laughed at her. They had always picked on her because she was a pregnant teen, who was a better chef than them. “When you know that you are pregnant, why did you keep working? After you useless yourself around and get knocked down with a bastard, you think everyone will care for you like Susan, right?” Lucia mocked as she went closer to retrieve the salt herself. Lucia had been the head of chefs in the restaurant before Anna arrived, but now, most of her tasks had been assigned to Anna, when the manager found out that she was a very good chef. Since then, Lucia had ganged up with her colleagues to

    On getting to the restaurant the next day, the manager welcomed Anna happily with a huge smile on his face, irritating the other jealous chefs. This was the first time since they started working in Bannados restaurant that a suspended chef will be welcomed with smiles and praises. “How many customers did you say postpone their order when Miss Annabella wasn’t around?” The manager asked the hostess later in the evening after Anna tendered her request for a leave. “Hundred, sir.” The hostess replied with a sullen look.A tiny frown formed on Anna’s face as she thought of what the manager was implying. Wasn’t he the one that has suspended her? Why was he blaming her for his loss of customers?“Annabella, Bannados cannot afford to give you leave now, but I can reduce your workload.” The manager offered even though he had no intention of reducing Anna’s workload. He was only interested in keeping her until she was too huge to work. “How about you take a leave a few weeks before you are

    8 months after Anna left London.After Anna discussed her painting schedule with Susan, she got her brush tools, a new Canva, and her basic painting tool the next day. Just as she had hoped to, she’d paint for two hours after returning from the Bannados restaurant.Every night and day was always stressful for Anna because her baby was growing day by day, and the pressure of working with envious colleagues was almost intolerable to her. Yet, Anna was determined to continue working until it was time for her break and had to grit her teeth every day in the restaurant to pass through the day. Nights weren’t any less good because she would paint for two hours every night, even if she was bone tired. She wanted to make a masterpiece that could secure her baby's future or at least bring food to their table aside from the restaurant income. Most women in the last few weeks of their third trimester would feel heavy and reluctant to work or even lift a foot, but it was different for Anna. Her

    After several months of searching and turning the whole of London upside down, Jacob became filled with bitterness and irritation. Just a word from anyone, he would snap and shoot them without thinking. It was getting out of hand and very menacing. No one could tame him, every day, he woke up furious and wild. Jackson had to take him away from the Mob house before he shot all the mob members in outrage. Their father was aware of Jacob’s horrible change in behavior, and instead of him finding ways to dissuade it, he cut all ties with Jacob. He had even threatened to cut all ties with Jackson too if didn't start thinking about the engagement proposal he had mapped out for him. After so much pressure from his wife, he had given Jackson a year to get over Anna, or else, he would rule out their names from the genealogy. “You can’t just shoot everyone that says a word to you, Jacob. Anna is not going to come back like that, we should look for her instead.” Jackson tried to speak sense

    Anna was sitting on the hospital bed with her baby and he was sleeping peacefully in her arms after feeding. She hadn’t been able to look elsewhere aside from his face ever since he was brought to her again by the Doctor. “What will you name him?” Susan asked, her voice filled with amazement because this was the first time she would be seeing such a handsome baby. She was convinced that Anna’s baby's father had to be a wealthy person or at least a celebrity. “I don’t know.” Anna chuckled slightly when she realized that she hadn’t even thought of a baby name for her baby at all. Tracing his little eyelashes, she was stunned at how much her baby resembled the twins. Sadness clouded her heart when she realized again that the twin would never be able to see their son. The little star was really a survivor. Even when she felt like she had lost all the strength in her, he still managed to come out. “The Doctor said you can be discharged before the weekend,” Susan said to Anna when she

    The manager stared at Anna in shock for a while, before he eventually asked. “Is it because of Lucia? She has already resigned. You don't have to worry about her.” She has resigned? Why? Anna furrowed her brows after listening to the manager. “I'm not resigning because of her. I’ve decided to pursue my talent instead.” She said to the manager and he frowned in confusion. “What talent? cooking?” He asked, his frown deepening after he casually assumed that Anna wanted to open her own restaurant or something.Anna shook her head after listening to him. “No, sir. Not being a chef or anything that relates to working tirelessly in the kitchen.” She had made this huge decision as she wielded all her strength to push Marcelo out of her vagina. She had made a vow to herself, and her baby that she would be with him all the steps of his life. She had also made the promise to give him the best in everything.“Is there a way I can persuade you?” The manager asked, and Anna shook her head.“I'

    That night, Anna once again slept peacefully between the twins, and Marcelo woke up the next morning to see two familiar older men before him. Of course, he was able to instantly recognize them as his fathers after the painting, and the fact that Jacob had shaved off his beard that morning made them easier to identify. A small smirk raised on his lip, and Jacob almost cracked up in laughter. “Did he just smirk at me?” “I think it's a good start.” Jackson asserted humorously, looking at the little boy, who was now climbing from the bed that he was sure he didn’t sleep in.“I want to see mommy.” Marcelo said to the twins, his little voice was energetic and clear. Jackson and Jacob shared a smile as they heard their son’s voice for the first time. “Did you know who we are, little man?” Jacob asked as he squatted to Marcelo’s height. His dark eyes roamed the boy’s face and he felt a strange feeling in his heart before he heard Marcelo’s little voice again.“My daddies?” Jackson an

    “None of your business.” Jacob replied impatiently as his eyes trailed to the driver that had come with their mother before turning back to her.“We are on our way out, you can come along if you are here as our mother, and not your husband's wife.” “Jacob.” Jackson cautioned slightly even though he was also currently angry at their parents. Sighing, he used the remote in his hands to open the door. “Mother, we just received news that Anna’s father is dead, and we are on our way to see her family.” Jackson explained calmly to their mother, intentionally hiding the fact that their son was also there, to see her reaction. Rose looked away from Jacob’s cold face as she heard the news about Anna’s father’s death. She almost couldn’t believe that the man her husband was talking to on the phone less than a few hours was already dead.She couldn't bring herself to feel anything for him, but she was so concerned about Anna after everything she had heard.

    “Even if what she had done had caused the life of her mother, would you still let her be together with our sons?” Luciano’s words rang in Rose’s head and she raised her head to look at her husband. Seeing that he had gotten her attention, a smirk rose on his lips, and he looked into his wife’s curious eyes as he revealed. “Seven years ago, Anna Wilson left her parent's home in the last hours, due to one reason or the other, and was kidnapped by some men in her neighborhood. Anna called her mother while they were taking her to the hideout, and she was able to trace the location to find her. Unfortunately, she was raped instead of her daughter, and she died in Anna’s arms in the hospital.” Rose’s face gradually altered into shock as she heard her husband’s words and she didn't even say a word when he continued. “Where I have a problem with was that as the crown of everything that happened, just like her father said, she didn’t contact anyone as soon as possible, and before the polic

    Luciano had learned everything he wanted to know about Anna from her father, and he was boiling with rage. He couldn’t believe that such a loose woman was around his sons again, who he had raised with wealth and elegance. Realizing that he cannot be the one to tell the world this secret, he made a deal with Anna’s father, and he instantly accepted it when he heard the amount of money involved in it.“But how will I find her? I have no idea where she lives.” Mr. Walton had no shame whatsoever to confess that he had lost all contact with her eldest daughter. “No, you didn’t have to meet up with her.” Luciano frowned when he saw that the drunken fellow didn’t understand what he was saying. “You only have to make sure the world knows about her dirty pasts and how much she has hurt you. How she had made you lose the only woman you ever loved. That's what you have to do.” As Mr. Walton listened to Jared Luciano Mikelson’s words, the hatred he felt for his first daughter surged through hi

    “Anna, do you want to say something?” The twin asked in sync as she had just been staring between them. When they saw her nodding her head, they assisted her to the couch and placed her between them. Finally seated, Anna was about to start talking when her phone started ringing in her purse, bringing her back to reality. The twins shared a look when she quickly picked up her call. Anna, who hadn’t realized that she had mistakenly brushed her hand to the speaker of her phone, felt her whole body tremble when her son’s voice came loudly out of her phone. “Mommy, when are you coming? I miss you.” It was more than a few hours after Anna had left Marcelo with her sister, and aside from when he had resumed his first year in school, this was the only time that he would be apart from his mother that long. Anna choked back her tears as she heard her son’s angelic voice. She didn’t dare turn her head or remove her phone from the speaker as she knew that the twins had heard the little b

    Just around this time, Anna was panting and moaning from the extreme pleasure she was receiving from Jackson’s rough yet alluring kiss. “I've missed you so much. I've missed this.” Anna couldn’t stop the words that left her mouth immediately after Jackson pulled his mouth away from hers.Upon listening to the ache, desire, and suffering in her tiny voice, Jackson finally confirmed that she hadn’t left them of her own will. After realizing this, he held her cheeks with his two hands and stared into her gorgeous eyes that were begging him to take her right there. “I love you, Anna, I love you so much.” He said to Anna right there when he couldn’t hold back his emotion again. Anna blinked repeatedly upon listening to his words, and she felt her distressed heart swelling with utmost guilt for leaving them without much of a goodbye, then just a letter. “I am.. sorry.” She bit her lips, trying to hold back her tears but her action was so seductive to Jackson. Swallowing back his desire

    Jacob walked back to the bedroom with a neutral expression on his face even though he was raving inside. Everything he had just found out from Rhoda replayed in his head again, making him realize that Rebecca Cameron wasn’t the only Cameron that needed to be canceled. If he had known that CC’s little boy, David, who he had only learned about from his brother five years ago, was the brain behind the horrible disaster that had been happening, he would have dealt with him severely.Their father also was an eyesore to him anyways, so their whole family might as well pay for everything they had cost him. He couldn’t hear Rhoda’s soft whimper again, but he would make sure that David Cameron especially lives a few years longer in pain, for putting fear in his family’s most treasured jewel.As for Cole Cameron. . .

    If Jacob imagined that Rhoda could be keeping a secret from him, and presumably, her husband too, he would never have imagined what he had just heard. “So, you are saying you met David Cole there that night, and he had told you their mission, but you kept it from me because you thought you were protecting your marriage? Is that what you are saying?” He summarized what Rhoda said back to her in a few words. His tone was so cold that it made Rhoda tremble to her surprise.“I also said, I didn’t know that you care for her that much.” She asserted as if saying that obviously, she would have definitely protected her marriage before any other thing. “You don’t know I care for her that much? That's your excuse for keeping this for five fucking years?” Christian, who was too stunned to say anything, felt Jacob’s cold glare on him after his words, and he instantly started shivering in fear when their eyes met.Rhoda fixed herself between them immediately and tried to use herself to protect

Rebecca, who had been nursing her broken heart and wallowing in her unexplainable hatred for Anna, hadn't left her room after leaving Jackson’s office that day, felt a rush of happiness surge through her when she received a message she had been expecting. She had presumed that once the artist arrived and Jackson was able to get their contact information and also the art she was paid for, he would be appreciative toward her, and even tell his twin brother that she was the one that assisted him in finding the artist he was in search of. Maybe, just maybe- she would be able to get the attention of Jacob Mikelson, and Jackson wouldn’t think so bad of her anymore. He might be disgusted that she had done a bit of surgery to look like Anna, but his brother might find it attractive. Rebecca had thought she would be able to gain the twin's favo
