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'
A few days after pitching the art on the auction site, Anna, who was feeling depressed and lonely after Susan finally left to live with Philly, decided to watch the Tv to cheer up her mood. With baby Marcelo in her arms, she cuddled his soft body with hers, and gently stroked his hair as the screenplay. She was still watching the Tv when her phone suddenly rang.Thinking it was Philly, she picked up immediately without looking at the screen. “Hello, is this Miss Annabella Robert?” A strange, yet professional voice sounded across the phone, and Anna frowned before removing the phone from her ears to see that it wasn't Philly that had called. “Yeah, how can I help- oh wait.” Her eyes widened as she remembered that the only place she had her name in this order was on the auction site. “Is this the auction site?” She asked carefully, her heart hammering against her chest.Did they call her to tell her that she was rejected? Oh no.“Yeah, I am Rapheal Martins from Amedux auction house.
“Mommy, mommy, can we get more steaks?” Marcelo’s angelical voice rang in the huge living room as he appeared in white stockings, newly released Fendi joggers, and a white top. His voice cut off Maria’s words and she gasped on the phone. “You have a child?” She was so shocked that she had to hold her chest to contain her surprise. Anna shook her head at the little boy, whose hands were filled with steaks and who still wanted more. Why did he have to pick Jacob’s eating habit of having steaks in his meal every time? “Mommy, who are you on the phone with? Is it grandma Susie?” Marcelo hopped on Anna’s lap, his greasy hands staining her white evening gown. A few weeks after she received her first income, Anna moved to a bigger, and more well-furnished house that was bigger than her ex-husband’s mansion. She had employed a nanny and a housekeeper, but since she still wasn’t comfortable living with people, she didn’t opt for a live-in staff just like Jackson. “No, baby, I'm on the pho
Back in London, Jackson was watching the news when his phone rang beside the documents he had recently abandoned. When he saw that the caller was his mother, he groaned slightly before picking up.“If this is about any meeting or parties, count me out of it.” “No, it isn’t.” Rosa’s voice over the phone was poise but there was a hint of emptiness in them. “Were you able to contact Jacob? I haven't spoken to him for 50 months. Has he completely gone crazy and abandoned everyone? Can I get his call line?” Her motherly emotion crippled her loyalty to her husband, and she had no choice but to find ways to contact her other son. Jackson had no words to say to his mother because she was also the one that has been calling and matchmaking him with Rebecca Cameron over the years. He couldn’t believe that she now wanted him to give her Jacob’s contact. That's impossible. “Mother, Jacob doesn't want to be found. I can’t give you his contact.”“What do you mean you can’t give me his contact in
