Hazel glared at Anabelle but she carefully averted her gaze, her heart was trembling, and she did not know what he planned to do next"Does the prosecuting counsel have anything to say?" Judge Alvira asked and Hazel's lawyer stood up"Your honor, we have at our disposal some evidence that shows that Anabelle Gideon is not capable of taking care of my client's child, if you will permit me to present it in court"Both Mason and Anabelle stared at each other, Mason's gaze was questioning and Anabelle shrugged, evidence? What the hell was that?At the judge's nod, they brought out a brown envelope which they gave to the judge Anabelle's heart thudded wildly as she watched the judge go through some photos and then it was displayed, a photo of her at night when she was coming back from Mason's place, on the first night she had gone there just to convince him to be her lawyer, she was dressed scantily and even the photos of those boys that wanted to take advantage of her were taken"Your ho
"Remember what I told you" Mason reminded Anabelle as they walked into the court and she nodded, although she was nervous, she was willing to do anything to keep her son with her.Mason had told her to tell the court that Hazel took advantage of her when she was just an intern in his company and had paid her off to never show her face to him again, Anabelle felt bad because that was not what happened but if that will help her with her case, she was willing to do it.Mason had also told her to do anything to get the sympathy of the judge since she is a woman, the judge's decision might favor her if she was able to get her sympathy.They met Hazel and his lawyer on the way just as they were about to go in, he looked right passed her like she did not even exist. Who was she kidding? She never existed to him, his jaw was firmly set and his face was void of expression.She wanted to beg him, to tell him to spare her and her child but from the look on his face, she already knew what his ans
Anabelle dressed up in the strapless cream-colored gown that Mason had sent for her, Stella had helped her with her hair and even applied some lipstick for her, the gown was long and slit by the side to show off a little amount of skin, as she looked at herself in the mirror, she could not help but admire herself, it's been a while since she dressed up to look beautiful and she had to admit that she was indeed looking beautiful Tonight.She wore a gold necklace and matching earrings, and as she put on her heels, she reminded herself to be careful while walking on it as she was not used to wearing heels.Mason was left stunned when he had come to pick her up, he was shocked at her transformation and he felt a real attraction to her, "you look beautiful" he remarkedA blush slightly crept up her cheeks and she instead, turned to wave goodbye at Melvin, "Be a good boy and do not trouble your godmother"Mason opened the car door for her and they drove in silence for a while"Are you nervo
Hazel stared at the pictures and video clips on his desk, it was a video clip of Melvin being bullied in the school because he has no father, a picture of when he had almost run him over, a picture of Anabelle in a party with... "Mason", his jaw clenched together his fist, "what the hell was she doing with that guy?"Nath cleared his throat when he noticed Hazel's fist clenched at the sight of Mason, "um, Mason Nelson is her lawyer""How the hell did he become her lawyer when I didn't even know he was back in the country?""He was clearly following up on the news and must have sought her out just so he could go against you once again"Hazel's lips curled in an unfriendly manner, Mason had always gone against him but Hazel had always won, it is fair to say that Mason was obsessed with witnessing Hazel's downfall, this had been going on for years after Hazel destroyed his father's company, Mason's mother could not handle the news that they had lost their company to Hazel, she had a hear
"Damn it" Hazel cussed as his tire came to a screeching halt, he came down from his car and his heart exploded in anger when he saw that the person he almost ran over was his son, his eyes roamed around the street for Anabelle but caught no sight of her"What are you doing out here all by yourself?" The fear slowly dissipated from Melvin's face when he noticed it was his dad who was behind the wheel, he quickly ran and hugged himHazel's heart clenched at the tiny arms around his thighs, the boy must be scared out of his wit, he almost hit him for crying out loud"Don't be scared, I'm here now but you have to be careful next time" he admonished softly and carried him to his car, "where is your mum"My mum is sick and could not stand up from the bed, I had to get bread because I was so hungry and decided to get some sandwiches and cinnamon rolls for her, they are her favorite"Hazel swallowed the retorts that sprang to his lip, he should not be taking out his anger on his Innocent chi
Anabelle got to the address that Mason had sent to her and frowned when she realized that he had sent his home address. What was he up to? She was still contemplating whether to go in or not when the door suddenly swung open and his head snuck out, as if he had sensed her presence."What are you doing standing out here?" he asked as he stepped out so that he was standing right in front of her."I didn't know that our date would be at your house," she replied."This is my homecoming party for my friends and dear ones, and I want you to be my date today at my party." He paused and his gaze roamed over her. He frowned at her simple dressing. She had packed her hair in a ponytail and was putting on a long sleeve and plain skirt without an iota of makeup on her face. Goodness, she did not even remember when last she had put on makeup."What is it?" she asked and stared down at herself self-consciously. "I never go to parties or dates so I do not have dress for that." Her tone was defensive
Hazel stood in front of Melvin's school and gazed at it with displeasure. The school looked so small and below standard. They did not even have a school library or a large environment. As soon as he got custody of his son, the first thing he would do would be to change his school to a more quality school.He made a mental note to build a school library for the school and also place AC in the classrooms. At least, they would benefit because of Melvin's presence in the school.He told Nath to wait for him and walked towards the head teacher's office."You bloody liar, how could you? Apologize now to him!" A teacher was screaming at a crying boy, and Hazel froze at the door when he saw that the child being screamed at was Melvin."If this child does not apologize to my son, I'll make sure that I withdraw my child from the school," a woman was saying.The head teacher quickly apologized. "Oh no, ma'am, he will apologize. There will be no need to withdraw your child from our school.""Do y
"You're fired." Anabelle's body shook at her manager's words."What?" she choked out. He couldn't possibly fire her now that she was in dire need of money. She hadn't done anything wrong that she could remember. She had always come to work early and left late. "B...but what have I done?" she stuttered.She had come to work as usual, and Christyn, her colleague, had informed her that the manager wanted to see her immediately, only for him to inform her that he was firing her."Our company does not need any bad publicity right now. See, the press are always hoarding you, and you are always on the news.""What bad publicity is there that a mother is fighting for the custody of her child? You can't possibly fire me because of that," she argued as tears filled her eyes. She couldn't afford to lose her job right now. She hadn't seen a lawyer and had no idea how much he would charge when she finally got one, and she had to save up as much as possible."You are going up against a very powerfu
Anabelle stood still for two seconds as she stared at the bright red two lines on the pregnancy kit in her hand, pregnant, she was pregnant, her world was over. How could that be? She only did it once and it was her first time and she landed with pregnancy?Tears filled her eyes as a cry wrenched from her lips, what would happen to her now?She was just an intern and has not even graduated from university, she has only her mother who works her ass off just to see her through school and she ended up pregnantShe has been impregnated by a man who doesn't even know her. A man who threw a cheque at her face and asked her to leave after taking her virginity A knock sounded on her door, "Anabelle, are you okay?" Her mother's voice sounded and she quickly shoved the pregnancy kit away, she was not ready to tell her mother just yet"I...I... I'm fine Mom" she answered in a shaky voice"Come downstairs, I need you to go to the grocery" her mother's voice echoedShe will have to find a way to ...
