Anita gasped when Alexander grabbed her and kissed her roughly.
Her mind wandered from one place to another, wondering if he was fully awake now or still under the influence.But she did not have much time to think about it as she was being consumed by Alexander's lips against hers and his hands roaming her entire body, sending shivers down her spine.Anita's hands immediately went behind Alexander's neck, caressing the back of his head and kissing him like her life depended on it. Their naked bodies collided against each other, creating a spark within two people. Anita's pointed breasts pressed hard against Alexander's chest, causing her whole body to vibrate.Alexander broke the kiss and stared into Anita's eyes. Anita looked back into his eyes to ascertain his state of mind. But all she saw in his eyes at that moment was lust. Although Anita was only doing this because she wanted to get pregnant and save her son, she felt hot inside of her, andAlexander slowly opened his eyes to an unfamiliar environment; even though his vision was blurry, he could still make out his room. And he was certain this was not his room. He spent the first few seconds of his awakening rubbing his eyes, trying to recall any incident that occurred before he fell asleep.He sat up with his brow furrowed, looking around the room, feeling disoriented, and his head was throbbing fiercely.He blinked his eyes severally and was able to get rid of the blurred vision so that he could take in his environment properly. He gazed around the room again, and then he saw a comb, toiletries, and a bedside table with an intercom. The realization hit him.Alexander realized he was in a hotel room; he could not remember checking into a hotel, and there was no way he would check into a hotel that looked like this. He tried to remember how he had gotten there. He started to rack his brain and try to put together the events that happened befo
Leo sat in his office, staring at the blank laptop. That was how he had sat since he came to the office in the morning. He was finding it difficult to do anything in the office; he was even finding it difficult to get his mind off Anita. Even when he tried to concentrate on work, his mind would suddenly wander off to her. It was difficult for him to stop thinking about her and what she had told him at the charity event. Perhaps he made a mistake accepting Sandra five years ago?Maybe the right thing to do then would have been to forgive Anita and understand her; he should not have done what he did. Leo decided to stop denying the fact that he was in love with Anita; he was still in love with her just like he was five years ago, and he could not deny it. Their plan five years ago had been to get married after Anita's MAB in London; they were even engaged before the leaked voic
"And how is this what I asked for?" Sandra snapped as she went through the papers that were dropped on her table by her assistant. "I am so sorry, Miss Warren, but I think I heard you clearly when you said..." "Shut up…" Sandra shouted. "Do you mean to say I'm telling lies against you? No, take all of this nonsense out of my office and do a better job next time." She barked and flung the papers at the surprised woman. The assistant quickly gathered all the papers and scampered out of the office, cursing in her mind. "Jeez!" Sandra cussed, scattering her hair. She had been on edge all day, and she had reasons to feel bad as she believed that her life was falling apart. Leo had not even made any attempt to call her all through yesterday; in fact, he had been acting weird ever since the return of Anita. Sandra bit her fingers until they almost
The whole of LA was thrown into a frenzy when Anita's secret was published on the internet. She suddenly became the talk of the town and the hottest trending topic, with pictures of Austin flying around. While many expressed shock that Anita had a child, some were not much taken aback since they were already suspecting Anita to be the mother of Austin. In less than twenty-four hours after the news was released, social media users and fans bombarded Anita's page to question her on the validity of the news spreading across town. "But what if someone is just trying to ruin Anita's reputation?" A social media user asked in the comment section. "It's unlikely; remember, there are pictures to back this up. Moreover, the kid even shares a striking resemblance to Anita Fredrick, and he even shares her last name." Another person countered. "And what if the pictures are photoshopped? And you kn
Anita swallowed hard and held onto her chest with her trembling hands as their car approached Austin's school, seeing all the reporters gathered in front of Austin's school.She knew they had come for her, and with the way they looked, it did not in any way seem like they had any plans to let her off their hook today. "You can stay in the car if you want; I will handle them," Angie suggested, her eyes focused on Anita, but she shook her head in return, ready to face the hardest reality. "No," Anita said in a low tone. It's high time I faced this. Besides, whoever did this must have hoped that I would keep running away from it, so they would keep hunting me. I won't let them." Anita grabbed the door handle with a sweaty palm, sighing heavily and getting ready to face the reporters. She pushed the car door open, her eyes counting the number of reporters. Just as expected, a handful of reporters qu
Michael Warren was in his office when he saw the news about Anita having a child. He was taken aback by the revelation. But instead of getting mad at her or feeling disappointed like he always was, he felt sorry for what happened to her in the past.Unable to concentrate on what he was doing, he went home, and the thoughts of Anita had been running through his head.He was pacing around his large and luxurious room, which he shared with his wife, Margaret, with his two hands in his pocket, gazing around the room.He could not help but wonder if he had been wrong by sending his daughter away five years ago. His long train of thought was cut off when he heard a slight knock on his door. "Come in." He said smugly, thinking it was his wife Margaret. The door was pushed open, and one of the domestic maids stood at the door to his room. "Madam Margaret has asked me to inform you that
It was a Sunday morning. Anita was in the kitchen washing the dishes and cooking when Angie walked in, suggesting they had a girl's time out with Austin. "I'm so in for that." Anita giggled, dropping the last plate on the rack. Angie smiled, seeing how happy Anita looked. She was glad that Anita did not get too affected by the recent events that happened to her. After they finished eating, Anita informed Austin about the outing, which he was happy about, so she decided to dress him up herself. She was even more happy about the outing because she would be able to spend time with her son and act like his mother outside without looking around for paparazzi. Something she had not been able to do since she came back to Los Angeles. In fact, it broke Anita's heart anytime she had to act like she was not Austin's mother in public, but there was nothing she could do at that time. Well, it seems like whoever leak
Neither the soft music playing in the background nor the strippers dancing in the club made sense to Alexander as he sat there on the couch, taking gulp after gulp of the alcohol from the glass in front of him.The scene of the interview Anita had with the reporters kept replaying in his head. Why would she tell the reporters that the father of her child was dead? Was she wishing him dead?It was not as if it was his intention to abandon them; it was all Anita's fault for running away instead of approaching him.Imagine that he had no idea that he had a child until recently, and that was all Anita's fault. He wondered how his son was doing and what he thought of him. Perhaps she had told him the same lies too.Alex sighed and leaned back on the couch he was sitting on, his face contorted.He brought out his phone and started looking at the picture of the little kid.The kid looked familiar, but he had no idea where he had seen him.Lawrence, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to
Anita became her father's heiress; she took charge of the company and became president effortlessly.She took care of the company even more than Sandra did, and it blossomed under her care using the knowledge she had studied in school and also with the help of her husband.Anita had always heard Jessica, her manager, talk about how much she missed her ex-husband and needed a man in her life, stylishly matched her with her father during one of her visits to the set, and they were a perfect match. They even started going on several dates after their first date, which was orchestrated by Anita."How was your date, dad?" Anita asked her father one day, when she visited him, to discuss the company's stock."What date?" Michael asked, looking clueless, and Anita laughed."Don't play that game with me, Dad; you think I don't know you have been going on dates with Jessica behind my back?""I have no idea what you are talking about." Michael joked, palming his face.Anita laughed once more. "Y
Two weeks after Alexander proposed to Anita, the preparation for the wedding had started.Anita, Lauren, and Angie were at Warren Mansion, preparing for the big day that would happen tomorrow.The three women were lying on the bed, facing the ceiling, and talking happily about one another."By this time tomorrow, you will have become Mrs. Scot," Angie said to Anita, playfully nudging her shoulder.The three women laughed."I can't wait to also be like you," Lauren exclaimed, smiling."Very soon." Anita nudged her. "And you too." She nudged Angie, who laughed.Soon, Lauren became sober. "Caleb lied to me; he just wanted to come back into my life to deceive me. all over again." She scoffed, darting her glassy eyes."What are you talking about?" Anita asked her."After I decided to give him a chance to right his wrongs like he claimed, I caught him sleeping with a girl in his house. After he had promised me that he loved me and had really come back for me and Anna, I was a bit heartbroke
After Michael got better, he was discharged from the hospital, and Anita made sure to always visit him and sometimes sleep in the house so he could recover fully.Sandra was arrested and later released because she did not commit any major offenses. Margaret, on the other hand, was left behind bars because she was found guilty of so many charges. She confessed willingly just to save Sandra; she even confessed to Gerald's role in all her crimes."He helped me do most of my dirty jobs; he was even the one who helped me get the poison I used on Michael." Margaret had said this at the police station.Michael was disappointed when he found out about Gerald's involvement in what happened to him."I was nothing but good to him; he worked as my assistant for so many years, and I never gave him any reason to be uncomfortable. But then why did he turn around to pay for my good deeds with evil?" Michael had complained to Anita as they drove back to his house. "Even Margaret, I treated her so wel
Anita was sitting by Michael's bed at the hospital, massaging his hand and crying. Alexander was sitting on a chair close to them.Michael woke up a few hours later to see Anita hovering over him with tears in her eyes. His eyes moved around the hospital room, trying to recognize where he was."Dad?" Anita quickly called as soon as she noticed her father had moved his fingers."My dear..." Michael spoke, looking at Anita tenderly. His lips stretched into a small smile as he saw her sitting close to him. "Anita."Anita's eyes were fixed on Michael worriedly, and her hands took his hand in hers. "Thank God you are awake, Dad. For a moment, I was. I was scared that I lost you too.""I'm here, my dear," Michael whispered, trying to sit up, and Anita leaned forward to hug her father for the first time in the last few years."What happened to me? Why am I here?" he asked.Alexander quickly went out to call the doctor to come and take a look at Michael. He arrived together with the doctor."
Margaret watched Sandra's face as she slept after she dropped the call with Gerald. She knew she needed to protect her no matter what happened. Things were starting to get out of hand with each passing day, and she knew she needed to do something bad as soon as possible; she needed to act fast.Margaret started pacing around the room; she could not sleep that night because it was hard for her to even get her eyes closed.She had gone too far to back out now; she had to do something to secure herself and her daughter's future. And there was no way they would have a bright future if they didn't take over the company.Margaret paced around the room even more with her head searching for ideas. She was thinking of ways to convince Michael to make Sandra his successor, but she knew the chances of that happening were very slim; it appeared like he had already chosen Anita over her.Should they attack Anita again and make her get involved in a scandal that would cause Michael to rethink his d
Michael was sitting in his office with his head bent towards his table.He couldn't do anything in his office, and at the same time, he could not go home.His home now felt like hell, especially since he had started to feel like he no longer knew his wife and daughter anymore.Had he been living with strangers all along? Could it be that he never really paid attention to their real nature? Or was there some sort of misunderstanding there?He could not help but wonder if it was really the truth that Sandra tried to hurt Anita's child. Was she responsible for his disappearance?And also what Anita said about Sandra setting her up years ago to sleep with a stranger. Did she really do that? But why would she do that? Was it because of money? Power?Michael's hand occasionally moved to brush his hair. Deep down, he knew he had screwed up; he had created a big mess, and he had absolutely no idea how to fix it. Even Anita was mad at him and wouldn't even talk to him, no matter how he tried t
After the doctor had attended to her, Anita was dozing off in the bedroom. Alexander was sitting close to her and looking at her face while brushing her hair backward with his fingers.Emily was also sitting by the side and watching her."Is she getting stable?" Emily asked him, watching Anita's face worriedly, and Alex nodded his head in response.Just then, Angie ran into the room holding an iPad and scrolling through it."I have been able to get the location," she announced."That's good news, right?" Emily asked, looking at Alex and Angie, and Alex nodded his head again."We just need to hurry there to be sure we can find him there," Alex said and stood up.He was about to rush out, then his eyes moved to Anita, who was still sleeping."It's fine," Emily assured. "I will take care of her.""Thank you," Alexander muttered and rushed off with Angie.They all got into Lawrence's car and drove off to the location.Alexander sat in front of Lawrence while Angie sat at the back as they
Victoria and Sandra are in an abandoned building somewhere on the outskirts of the city.They both looked restless as they paced around the room, looking distressed.Sandra kept casting angry glares at Victoria, who was biting her fingers."We are both finished. Victoria, what have you done?" Sandra barked; her voice had a shaky tone to it."Why didn't you tell me earlier that Alexander is the father of Anita's kids? If I had known that, I would never have made a move to touch the child." Victim admitted.Sandra was scattering her hair with her hands."You have just finished my life, Victoria; you have ruined what is left of my sorry life." She paced around the room some more, scattering her hair. Tears were beginning to gather in her eyes, and she thought of what would become of her life if Alexander happened to catch up with her."And... and the fact that you made me get involved in all of these acts when I clearly didn't want to..." She stuttered. "The boy's picture is everywhere,
"I'm finding it difficult that she could do all those atrocities; she looked and acted so innocent," Patricia spoke with her arms folded around her body, sitting across Emily."She fooled me with her innocent face and good looks." Grandmother's low voice responded, staring into space absentmindedly."We should count ourselves lucky that Alexander rejected her just before she was able to find her way into this family as a daughter-in-law, I wonder what she would have done to us.""You would have probably been worse than Alexander's mother, someone who is capable of murdering her innocent friend just so she could take her place and take over all her family's fortune." Emily retorted sadly.After the police declared Victoria wanted, it appears that her behavior toward Bella went viral.Emily heard of it, and since then she has been in disbelief. To think that she had almost forced Alexander to get married to her.Emily and Patricia were sitting in the garden, discussing the news.Even Pa
