6.

Annabel felt like the ground should just open up and swallow her whole. How on Earth was she going to work in the same company with a man that caused her nothing but pain in the past?

“Miss?” Roland called, waving his hand in front of her face.

She snapped back to reality and quickly composed herself. He gestured to a chair in front of his desk, “Please, have a seat.”

She forced a smile and sat down. Her heart was beating at an incredibly fast rate, and she could swear he might even hear it from where he sat. She looked at the plaque on his desk, boldly inscribed on it was “Roland D'Ville, President and CEO”.

She sighed. So, she wasn't dreaming all this while. It was indeed true that she was sitting beside the annoying playboy Billionaire; the jerk that ruined her life.

Roland watched as her eyes darted to all corners of his office. It was more like she was trying to avoid eye contact with him. The more he looked at her, the more he felt a sudden connection with her and the more

    7.“You mean, he's the president of the company?” Sasha asked with wide eyes.“Yes, my dear. I was so scared that he might recognize me but turns out, he doesn't even remember me.” Annabel sighed and removed her heels.“How do you expect him to recognize you when you changed so much? You look more beautiful and mature, and your hair that was once dark is now blonde. What do you think?” Sasha asked and Annabel sighed.“It's a good thing that he doesn't recognize me.” She smiled.Sasha frowned. “Are you being serious right now? You should be bothered that he doesn't recognize you. If he doesn't, who would claim ownership for Olivia?” Sasha asked.“Sasha, Olivia is better off with me, trust me. I don't want a situation where my only daughter will get rejected.” Annabel expressed her fear.After she left the country and gave birth to her child, all she wanted was to give the baby the life that she deserved. She wanted to raise her child on her own without giving a damn about what others w

    8.“Sir!” She gasped.She turned to look at the elevator but the door had closed. That moment, she knew she was in for it. How was she going to stay in the same elevator with this guy?“Is something wrong?” Roland asked as he noticed her uneasiness.She shook her head without saying a word. Roland found her behavior strange but didn't say anything. Annabel didn't know what to do. Being with him felt like a thousand needles were being pierced into her skin. She would give anything to disappear from there that instant.“Miss Walter?” Roland called.“Yes, sir,” She answered, trying her very best to keep her voice steady. She didn't want him to notice her fear.“Why do you look scared? You look like you weren't expecting to see me here.” He muttered and she sighed.“You're right. I wasn't expecting to see you here…” She trailed off, not knowing what else to say.'What do I do? What do I do?' She questioned herself mentally.Roland couldn't comprehend why she was acting so weird around him

    9.Layla rushed after Roland immediately. He was about to close the door but she held it and walked in.“Wait!” She exclaimed when he wanted to drag her out.“What is your problem? What do you want?” He asked in annoyance. He couldn't comprehend why his mother wouldn't let him be. Why was she bent on frustrating his life with things like this? He had told her countless times to quit setting up dates with ladies for him but she wouldn't listen. He wanted no one except that lady!Layla bit her lip and placed her hand on his chest. “Why are you acting like this? We just met. We should at least get to know each other.” She drew invisible circles on his chest.Roland held her hand and yanked it away from his chest. If it was the way he was before, he would have smacked his lips on hers and fucked her senseless, but he wasn't that kind of person anymore. He had changed and the person responsible for that change was who he wanted.“Don't you dare lay your skinny hands on me again. Get out!”

    10. “I'm sorry, sir.” She bowed apologetically. Roland sighed and folded his hands. As much as he hated his employees coming late to work, he didn't want to yell at her, but he wasn't going to let her go scot free either. “What should I do with you?” He sighed and licked his bottom lip. Annabel found it cute and lowered her head immediately. She didn't want to get any weird thoughts. This was the man that caused her a whole lot, she wasn't going to admire anything about him. She should be resenting him. Roland thought for a while and an idea popped up in his head. Since he found her familiar, it would be good to spend some time with her and get to know her better. “Well, I'm not going to fire you,” He said. “Do you fire your employees when they come late?” She asked, her eyes not leaving the floor. Roland sighed and tucked his hands into his pockets. “Yes, but for you I can make an exception.” He replied. She looked up and he winked. She scoffed. Was he trying to flirt with he

She was to submit them to Mr. Carl before work hours were over and she only had 2 hours left. She went to where she had saved a copy of them but they were no where to be found.“No,” She said as she continued to look for them. She searched everywhere and even went to search places she knew on a normal day, she would not save anything there, but there was nothing.“Shit!” She exclaimed when she realized she'd have to start over.She wrote those reports from her head. How would she remember everything she had written?“Annabel?” Brian called.She couldn't answer him. No one needed to tell her that someone was b

    12.“Olivia, why would you ask such a question?” Annabel asked, trying her best not to cry. This was the second time the little girl was asking such a question. The first time was when she was schooling in Greenville and now this? Annabel had to pretend like she hadn't heard the question before, so Olivia wouldn't bring up their conversation the last time.Olivia looked at Annabel, her eyes turning glittery which broke Annabel the more. “My friend usually talks about how her daddy comes home from work and buys all kinds of things for her. She also asked me what my daddy buys for me but I couldn't tell her because I don't know where my daddy is. Mummy, where's daddy? You told me the last time that he went on a business trip and would be back soon, but I haven't seen him. I want him to buy things for me so I can show my friends too. Don't you know where he is?” Olivia asked again and Annabel could feel her heart breaking into pieces. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she used her hand

    13.NEXT DAY…Annabel walked into the office feeling nervous about the day. Coupled with what had happened last night was tonight's dinner date with Roland. She had told Sophia about it that morning and the lady almost screamed her head off.“I think he's interested in you.” Sasha had mentioned that morning.“Don't be silly. What the heck will he see in me?” Annabel asked.“He saw a lot. You're beautiful and independent, you're caring, loving and damn, you're cute. Do you think I wouldn't date you if I were a guy?” Sasha teased and Annabel laughed.“It's just a harmless dinner, Sasha.” Annabel argued again.“I don't think so. Alright, picture it like this; Roland D. Ville is known as a ruthless Billionaire who doesn't like when his employees are tardy. He either cuts their pay or suspends them. Worse case scenario, he might even dismiss them. You were tardy and instead of cutting your pay, suspending you or even firing you, he asked you out to dinner. How does that sound?” Sasha aske

You scared the shit out of me.” “I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.” Brian apologized, while laughing at her.“Anyways, shouldn't you be leaving already, why are you here?” “Oh, I thought we should hang out tonight, you know, have a little celebration to celebrate our victory over Carl and his daughter.” Annabel shook her head, she was literally trying to contain her laughter. “I seriously can't believe you, Brian, her being demoted isn't something to celebrate and besides, it's not like I wished for that to happen to her.”“That's the thing with you Anna, you're just too kind, she didn't think twice about ruining something you suffered for, so why shouldn't you be happy she got the punishment she deserved? if I were in your shoes, I would have hoped for more th

    158. AT SCHOOL… Olivia was on a seat, trying to get a class work they had given to them done. Sebastian hadn't been to school for a while, and she was darn worried about him. She didn't know his place and had even asked Mrs. Genevieve about him several times, but she would tell him Sebastian would come soon. “Are you still pouting because of that boy?” Winter scoffed. “His name is not “that boy” Winter. His name is Sebastian and yes, I'm pouting because of him because I'm angry that he hasn't resumed school for days now.“ She folded her hands with a huff. “You care about me that much?” She gasped when she heard the voice she had been wanting to hear for a few days now. She turned and was shocked to see him. “Sebastian,” She called, and he smiled at her. “Where have you been?” She rushed to meet him. “Come with me,” He held her hand and led her outside to the car. When they got there, he smiled at her and Olivia wondered why he had brought there. “Olivia,” He called, and she loo

    156.Annabel's eyes widened as Nadia fell to the floor in pain.Roland sighed, happy that the policemen were not dull doing their jobs. They rushed to where Nadia dropped the gun and picked it.Nadia looked at her bleeding leg, where she got shot, and screamed in tears. “All I wanted was for someone to love me! Is that too much to ask for? It isn't fair that people don't get what they want!”Annabel sighed in relief. For a moment there, she thought she was going to die on her wedding day. Roland held her hand as they walked to where Nadia sat on the floor in pain.She looked at Roland and covered her face in shame. “I'm sorry, I apologize for trying to hurt you.”Roland just looked at her. “I'll see you in court.” He said, and left with Annabel.She glanced her parents' way, and they just stared at her with tears in their eyes. There was nothing they could do anymore. She has to face the law. She was taken away by the police, and Roland turned to the people.“Let's not allow what happ

She was so excited and she wasn't even the bride.Annabel couldn't believe it was happening either. Her dream was finally coming true. She was getting married to the man of her dreams; the father of her child and the person who proved to be more than a friend and boss to her. She loved him so much and just the thought that she was going to spend the rest of her life with him sent tingles down her belly.Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned to look at Sasha, who was bubbling with excitement. Sasha rushed to her and hugged her tight.“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” Sasha exclaimed.Annabel chuckled. “You seem more excited than I am.” “You do not know the half of it. After everything you passed through, you deserve a happy ending my love. You deserve the joy that comes with this day and I'm really

    154.Annabel tears rolled down in relief the minute Roland stormed through that door. She removed her veil and was about to run to him but Carson held her hand.“You are going nowhere, Annabel!” He snapped.“Let go of her right now, Carson. You do not want to see the other side of me.” Roland was vexed at how he held Annabel.Carson smiled. “I can't let go of her, Roland,” He pulled Annabel to himself and took a gun, startling everyone in the church.Roland was about to rush to them.“Don't you dare take another step else I'll shoot!” Annabel screamed.“Carson, don't try anything stupid, you'll regret it.” Roland lowered his voice, scared that Carson might shoot Annabel.Carson wasn't ready to let her go. This was his opportunity to finally get what he wanted right now that Roland was here.“I hate you, do you know that? Why do you keep ruining my plans and acting like a hero all the time?” He snarled. “I've tried my best to be ahead of you in all ramifications. I tried to surpass you

    153.“What the heck did you just spit out of that ass you call a mouth?” Roland balled his fists. Carson had definitely grown wings to have the courage to talk to him like that. How dare the scumbag say he wanted to get married to Annabel? His Annabel? For what?Carson was happy that he had been able to get a reaction out of Roland. He knew the dude didn't like joking with anything that involves Annabel. “You heard me well. I would have invited you to our wedding but I'm worried that you'd turn everything upside down, so you're not going to be invited. But, I'll be lenient and give you a video of the whole wedding procession.” He laughed.Roland tightened his fists. “Shut up.” “Why should I?” Carson chuckled. “I'm just sharing my happiness with you and you're silencing me. I'm just happy that I'd be getting married to the woman of my dreams tomorrow—”“Shut up, Carson!” Roland snapped. He couldn't take it anymore.

    152.“I can't marry you now, let me out of here!” Annabel snapped at him but he chuckled and sped up.She couldn't believe Carson was behaving this way. Olivia was scared and held Annabel.“Mummy!” She called, her voice shaking.Annabel held her close to herself and quickly took her phone. She sent a text message to the number Sasha used to text her but it didn't deliver. With a frustrated sigh, she texted Roland, asking him for help. “If you think texting them the location of where I'm taking you will make them find you then you're mistaken. I suspected something like this might happen, so I already had my plans implemented and waiting for execution. Where I told you isn't actually where I'm taking you now, Annabel. Where I'm taking you is where our wedding will take place.”“Over my dead body will I agree to marry a monster like you. I saw you as a helper but you betrayed me. You have no conscience!”Carson laughed. “Hear who's talking about conscience? Where was your conscience whe

    151.Roland sprung up from his seat and rushed to meet Sasha.“You said what?” He asked to be sure he heard her well the first time.Sasha tried to catch her breath. When her breathing was stable enough, she looked up at Roland. “Annabel is leaving the city with Carson and I have no idea when she'd be coming back.”Roland blinked. “What! Why?” He asked.“She said she wanted to go somewhere far away, rest for awhile and heal. She wants to forget about you and everything you two had.”“No!” Roland shook his head. “I can't let that happen, Sasha. Where is she now?” He asked, picking up his car keys immediately.“She should be at Carson's now. You have to stop her from leaving, Roland. I don't trust Carson one bit.” Sasha was scared for Annabel's safety.“Neither do I,” Roland said and rushed out.Sasha sat in the office with her palms on her forehead. She was already getting a headache from all these issues on ground.“Where is Roland?” Ashton asked the moment he walked in.Sasha sighed.

    150.TWO DAYS LATER…“Nadia, how could you do something like that?” Mrs. Durand asked after the news about what Nadia did, got to her ears.It's been two days, Annabel didn't want to see Roland or anyone. Roland had been devastated over everything that happened and had refused to eat or drink. He was getting worse daily and no matter how much evidence they gathered, they'd always lose it.Nadia on the other hand was bent on making things worse for them. Roland's parents tried to talk to her but she refused to hear them out. She was indeed showing them the other side of her and it made them relieved that they didn't give her to their son in the First place.Nadia blew a bubble from the gum she was chewing and glanced at her mother. “I've done a lot of things, mum. Which one are you talking about?” She asked.Mrs. Durand couldn't believe how her daughter changed suddenly. Nadia wasn't always like this.“You framed Roland and you know exactly what I'm talking about. Meet Annabel and expla
