Sandra was in her room with Bridget; they were both getting ready to go to the fashion store to shop for the wedding.While Sandra was checking her wardrobe for what to wear, Bridget was sitting on the bed and scrolling through her phone when she suddenly came across Anita's post. She clicked her tongue and shook her head."Look at this bitch. Check your phone, Sandra." Bridget fumed.Sandra, who had finally made up her mind on what to wear, also picked up her phone only to see that the news of her wedding, which was the top trend, had been yanked off the list and replaced by Anita's movies. Not only was she the top trending topic, but pictures of her and her movies were everywhere on the internet."She is just everywhere," Bridget hissed."That bitch. She has vowed to take everything from me, even the spotlight." Sandra cursed. "Can't she just let me enjoy the spotlight and trend for today? She just gets in my way all the damn time." She stomped her feet."You should ignore her." Bri
Anita and Lauren were sitting on the grass in the park, eating ice cream, and watching the two kids run around the park happily."They connect so well, don't they?" Lauren said, looking at Austin and Anna."I know, right? Austin wouldn't stop talking about her." Anita laughed.They both watched the kids in silence for a while, then Lauren asked."It must have been hard."Anita turned to look at her, with her brow raised, wondering what Lauren was referring to."I mean raising Austin alone," she said calmly and Anita smiled and leaned back.*Was it really hard?" she asked herself."Honestly, I can imagine how hard it would have really been for me, but someone came through for me. She's an angel in disguise."Anita's lips curled up, remembering how she had met Angie."I met this angel in disguise during my MBA in London, and we are not really close like that. We took an elective together," Anita began, with her face lit up."After my MBA, when I had nowhere to go after I found myself in
Austin was already feeling sleepy by the time they got home."He must have really had a nice time." Anita laughed, seeing his sleepy face.She quickly took him to the bathroom to take his bath, and he fell asleep almost immediately after bathing.After tucking him properly into bed, Anita quickly went back to her room to take her bath and get ready for her meeting with Kelvin.She put on a simple dress and applied light makeup. After looking in the mirror and making sure that she looked okay, Anita picked up her bag and car keys and drove to the hotel.Kelvin was already waiting for her in the bar when she got there. He smiled when he turned and saw her walking into the bar."I'm glad you made it here." He said, the moment she approached him. He even stood up and helped her pull out a chair to sit on."So what would you like to have?" He asked while sitting down beside her.Anita was quiet for a while, then Kelvin ordered fruit juice for her."Thank you." She smiled."So what was you
Anita woke up the next morning feeling a light headache and a slight temperature rise.She squinted when she opened her eyes and got hit by the filters of light that seeped in through the window.She turned around, wondering why she was having symptoms that looked like a hangover when she did not even drink last night.She suddenly felt a body beside her as she moved, and she quickly opened her eyes, thinking it was Austin. At first, she raised her eyebrows when she saw Alexander lying down beside her."When did he come back?" she thought with her brow raised.Alexander slowly opened his eyes to see Anita looking at him; his face squeezed into a frown as he looked back at her.Anita dismissed the look on his face as probably the result of stress from his trip."How was your journey?" Anita asked Alex, who was still lying on the bed face-up.Alexander ignored her and stood up from the bed, but Anita did not desist from asking him questions."I hope you were able to find out what you we
The moment the call ended, Anita and Angie rushed out of the house and ran to the car. Angie drove while Anita sat close to her, praying fervently that nothing should happen to Austin.Anita called Lauren, who was already on her way to Angie's place, to meet them at the hospital since an emergency had come up.While they drove to the hospital, Anita was shaking and praying inwardly. Angie even tried to assure her."Relax, Anita," Angie said, noticing how she was shaking. "Hopefully it might just be a minor issue, okay?""I just hope nothing serious happens to my son; I won't be able to take it." She said with a shaky voice.The moment they arrived at the hospital, Anita opened the car door and ran out of the car immediately, making her way into the hospital. She met Alexander in the hallway."Where is Austin? What happened to him?" Anita asked, running to Alex and holding onto her hand.She even tried to study his facial expression to see if she would be able to get a hint of what was
It's been two months since Anita's pregnancy was confirmed, and she was starting to feel hopeful that it would stay this time around.She was starting to feel even more discomfort from the symptoms of the pregnancy, but Alexander was always there for her whenever her unusual demands as a result of the pregnancy came up.Their relationship had gotten even better over the past few weeks, and they got closer.Alexander was taking good care of Anita during her pregnancy, amidst his excitement over having a second child.Anita decided to take a break from acting after the movie she was currently shooting came to an end.She informed Jessica about her decision to take a break and told her about her condition."I'm so happy for you, Anita. You can take all the time you want to nurse your pregnancy, okay?" She assured her.Anita bumped into Kelvin, who was on his way to his manager's office, just as she was leaving Blu-ray.They exchanged pleasantries and even hugged.Alexander was now more c
Anita was sitting on the bed in the room while Alexander was getting dressed for Sylvia's convocation.Anita wished she could go since Sylvia had personally invited her. But then the Scott family would definitely be there, and she did not want to mingle with them; it's not like they wanted her there too.But then there was another problem: Austin was busy throwing a tantrum and insisting he wanted to attend Sylvia's convocation."But Mom, why can't I go?" Austin asked, tugging at her."You won't understand, my dear." She said, pulling him to herself and kissing his hair.It's not like she wanted to deny him going, but then how could she let him go when everyone in the Scott family could recognize him even without a DNA test? She was not ready to lose her child to them. She held him tighter to her chest."We should let the child go; he really wants to. We can let him wear glasses; that way, they won't recognize him." Alexander suggested, seeing how much his son wanted to be at the conv
Sylvia immediately ran out of the house, not answering any of the questions that were being thrown at her.She went outside to see a new car parked in the compound—not just any other car but a Mercedes E class, grey in color.Sylvia stood in the compound, looking at the car with wide eyes."Wow!" She exclaimed, her hand covering her mouth.She had not expected this from her grandfather, especially since she had been asking for a car all this while and her grandparents insisted that she could always go around with a driver."Thank you so much, grandfather." She exclaimed and jumped into the car, then started the engine.This has got to be the best part of today."In fact, this is my highlight for tonight." She screamed; she was finding it difficult to believe that she was now a car owner.Sylvia drove out of the mansion and arrived at Alexander's mansion almost at the same time as Alexander. Alex got out of his car and looked around the house, surprised."What's going on here?" He aske
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
