Should I post the remaining chapters?🥹❤️
As she left the living room, she didn’t go straight to the master room, which she was sharing with the twins, but the one they had set up with her things. And saying ‘things’, she meant the new clothes, bags, accessories, and many more that they had gotten for her. It was also in the same room, she had kept her small bag, which she had left her father's and her ex-husband’s house with. Grabbing the bag, Anna poured out all her contents on the bed in the room to search for her international passport, so she could book the next available flight out of London. Anna was searching for her passport when her eyes fell on her mother’s wedding ring. She stared at the only possession she had of her mother, and her heart tightened in pain. Her past was slowly closing in on her. She was only able to live freely and comfortably with the twins because her father most probably hadn’t found out that she was divorced, else- she knew that the anonymous threatening messages wouldn’t be the only thing
A frown appeared on Jackson’s face and he gritted his teeth, trying not to think of what could be the problem at the beginning of a new week. “What is the problem?” He asked. “A photo of you and Miss Anna had just surfaced on the internet and it had gone viral,” Paige spoke on phone, her voice quivering. She knew that what Jackson hated the most was to be seen or talked of by the paparazzi, but there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t find the account of the person that had uploaded the image online, and currently, almost every magazine in London had published a clear shot of Jackson wrapping his hand around Anna’s waist as he leaned closer to her on their front page with different catchy headlines. “Place a call to all the magazines that had published the news, and let them know that I want it taken through and off the news, else or they will be going against the Mikelsons.” His eyes were burning with irritation and anger. “Find the bloody paparazzi that upload the p
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 kitchenHer 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
“He did it again.” Jacob’s sharp eyes turned from the letter to look at his brother. His anger was blazing and apparent.Jackson heaved a deep frustrated sigh. He had practically used all his resources to find Anna, but he couldn’t trail Anna’s location.Without waiting for his brother’s response, Jacob gritted his teeth in anger and his heavy footsteps could be heard as he walked out of the mansion.Jackson followed after him because he was sure that Jacob was going to their father’s house and that meant TROUBLE. He pulled his brother’s sleeve to halt him, so he could say some rational things to him but when Jacob turned, he had a gun in his hand, pointing it at Jackson.Jackson’s lips paused and he blinked in shock. “You are pointing your gun at me?” He couldn't believe it. This was when he knew that his brother was very much heartbroken.Jacob’s chin matched his cold expression and his eyes were cold-blooded as he glared at his brother. “Don’t stop me, brother, he had to tell me wh
“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
