Annabel's POV

I was surprised to hear Scott say that. It felt like a dream but after blinking multiple times, I knew it wasn't.

"I don't believe you," I said, shaking my head.

"Annabel please," he came close, holding my arm, "Just come with me and I promise I'll make you believe me."

I remained hesitant, thinking of the many possibilities that could occur. What if this was just a trap to lure me to Mr. Davis? What if Scott is just pretending? Is it really wise for me to forget how Scott ditched me at the court and follow him now?

"The snow is increasing," he said, breaking me out of my thought, "Annabel please come with me."

He took my wrist and slowly pulled me towards his car. I did not object and entered into the car. As Scott began to drive across the street, I caught sight of a familiar car parked by the side of the road, several meters from Beatrice's house.

It looked oddly familiar and I thought it to be that strange man's car. However, when Scott drove past it the person in i

    Scott's POV I was super happy that Annabel listened to me and decided to trust me again. I couldn't explain how I felt. Dad already promised to bring my daughter to me today. Once I have little Samantha in my arms I would return back to Annabel and together we would go to the airport where we would disappear from New York and begin a new life. I parked my car and stepped into the port where I got the tickets under an hour and hid it carefully in the compartment area of my car. I was driving to the company when Michelle's call came through. She thundered, "Scott, where are you?!" "At the company, what's the problem?" I answered, trying as hard as I could to muffle the annoyance in my voice. "You didn't come home yesterday, how could you be at the office?" "I-" "Besides, tomorrow is our wedding. Why would Dad ask you to go to the company?? Didn't you guys already put someone in charge??" "I spent the night at the office and it wasn't my intention," I replied quietly, "As

    Scott's POV"No, no, no!" I shouted as I watched the woman in the video about to push my little daughter into the pool."No, please!" I continued to beg.Ignoring my plea, my father asked, "Will you marry Michelle?" "Yes, yes I will, just get..get my daughter away from the pool!""Take her into the house," he ordered the woman who picked my daughter up and walked into the house.I breathed a sigh of relief."See? That's what you get when you decide to go against me, Scott." my father said, "Now, you have a wedding coming up."Grinning he added, "Let's go get you prepared."He snapped his fingers at the men that had beaten me up and they picked up and dragged me into the car. In my pathetic state, I realized the bizarre truth- I had to choose between Annabel and Samantha, my daughter and I'd just chosen Sam.My plans with Annabel has been destroyed and now she would never trust me again. I hope in the future, she would understand why I did what I did. * * *Annabel's POVEarlier this

    Annabel's POVHow does he know I'm here? I wondered.As if he could hear my thought, he answered, "I tracked your location from your phone.""..." I was speechless."My driver told me that you didn't get into your friend's house. I became worried when Beatrice said you weren't at her place."I still did not know what to say. He asked, "Can I come in?"After a short hesitation, I moved aside for him to come in and closed the door behind him. He walked to the middle of the living room, looking around the place and then he turned to me."You got the place yourself?"I shook my head, "It's Scott's."His silence after that told me that he didn't like what he heard."You stay here with your," he paused and finished, "Ex-husband?"His tone was filled with disgust.He continued, "The man who turned a blind eye on you when you needed him the most? The man who could have helped your father in killing your daughter, for all we know?""Scott is not what you think he is," I spoke quietly, not in

    Annabel's POVI opened the door and replied, "To the wedding."He looked pleased and said to me, "I'll gladly take you there." In a minute, we were on our way to the wedding. I sat quietly in the car and let the wind blow on my face. Each yard away, I kept on hoping that it isn't true. That something happened and Scott couldn't come home but he wasn't marrying Michelle while making me wait for him and after telling me that he wanted me back.Close to the church, there were several beautiful and expensive cars parked in a convoy and the front of the church was empty with the door locked.I still had hope. Maybe the wedding wasn't going on.I stepped out of the car without waiting for the masked man to park properly. He followed suit and stopped me."You can't go in," he said, "Without an invitation card."I paused to think."You said you'll help me," I said to him, "I know there's something you can do to make me get in.""Besides, I just want the church doors open.

    Myron's POVIt was just what I had anticipated. Every of my actions up until this moment was just to make her realize that I am the good one and Scott isn't. I wanted her to think that Scott had deceived her again and concretize her want for revenge in her head."There's no need to apologize, Annabel," I said softly, "I understood fully well that you were only acting according to your feelings. It must hurt to love someone who-""I do not love him anymore," she cut me off with a deep frown on her face, "And as long as we're together, what I shared with Scott shouldn't be discussed. I only want revenge now, nothing more."I nodded and held out my hand to her. Unlike the first time, she took it readily and without hesitation. We walked into my mansion and I had the house keeper make us lunch.At the table, I noticed that Annabel ate very little and didn't seem to have an appetite.I asked, giving her full attention, "Is something wrong?"

    Annabel's POVI remained in my room and waited for the stranger to return. I already had the accessories he'd bought for me packed in different luggages. I did everything and anything to get me busy so I wouldn't think about my heartbreak.Anything to forget Scott, yet when there was nothing left to do I broke down on the bathroom floor and cried.It hurts so much.The man I love is now married to someone else and that's not all, he believes that I'm responsible for the death of our daughter. What I couldn't understand is why he had to come back right after divorcing me. Why did he come back only to betray my trust again?But I knew thinking wouldn't solve anything. It is even bad for my babies whom I'm going to love with uttermost care that they would never feel the brunt of not having their father around.I remained in the bath for few more minutes, nursing my wounded heart before I stepped out acting strong again.It was eight in the evening and the strange guy hasn't returned.

I gave a quiet scream, not wanting to wake my kids however Myron was beyond control."Not today, Annabel!"He took both my hands and pinned them above my head. My eyes widened as I stared up at him, frightened."It's been three years," he groaned, "Three long years Annabel. I thought after what happened with Scott all you needed was time. I have given you time yet you keep drawing away from me! What do you want me to do?! Just tell me. What do I do to make you love me?!"The room became so silent, that I could hear my own heartbeat. I bit my lower lip before I spoke.Tearing my gaze away from him, I said, "Let me go, please." After a moment of hesitation, Myron got off me and walked out of the room slamming the door with a thud. I stared at my damaged gown and even though I felt like crying to let

    Annabel's POV"Restrain him!" the Judge ordered. The police present held unto Scott but he was beyond control. He had lost his temper and it was obvious why.He could see himself winning the case and custody of the boys however, he cannot win custody without first proving that I am infact Annabel.That way, he would be killing two birds with one stone. He never thought that I'd outsmart him this way."Let me go!" he screamed at the Police, "Can't y'all see she's pretending? She's-""Mr Scott Davis," boomed the voice of the Judge, "If do not return to your seat this instant, you will be filed with contempt of court."Scott brushed the hands of the Police away, took a long, painful look at me before Michelle came and pulled him away. Everyone watched at the Judge scribbled away on his note. Few minutes later, he lifted his head and spoke,"I will have to deliberate on this matter with the council before reaching a decision," he announced, "For this reason, this hearing will continue in

Tomorrow is the hearing. I will withdraw from the case and willingly hand the kids to him.""Natalia please you have to carefully think this through," he told me, "I can handle this for you. There's still a chance that you'll win the case.""Only if you go bloody," I finished for him, "Involving innocent people into this. Look, Myron, I'll be fine.

I called Miss Donna to help with chairs in the garden downstairs and some snacks.I had a feeling that this private investigator of mine has something I could benefit from and I needed something to take my mind away from the decision I had just taken.While the investigator waited for me at the garden, I spoke with Miss Donna."Where are the kids?""In their room, ma'am." she answered, "In front of their favorite TV show. They were eager to see you when they arrived. Do you want me to inform them that you're-""No." I answered, "Don't."She nodded slowly and continued with her work while I returned to the garden, taking my seat opposite the man."I never quite got your name?""William." he responded"Right.

Since I was not able to prove my location before I arrived at London, Scott gained the upper hand.Outside the court house, my lawyer stopped me."Mrs Natalia, I fear things are not turning in the right direction for us. I-"Myron grabbed his collar angrily, cutting his statement short."Is this the job you do after getting paid? Huh?!"I held Myron's arm, "Myron, let him go. It is not his fault.""It is his damn fault! He damn read the law so surely he could have found something to say! Something to avert this shit!""Let him go, he can't breath!" I screamed and Myron let go and immediately strode towards the car in a fit of rage.I turned back to the lawyer, "I'm so sorry, Mister. My husband has little control of his temper, I hope you can consider the situation and understand."He struggled to speak, "I..I understand ma'am.

I did not look towards the right where Scott and the Davis family were seated. Soon, the court proceedings began."Mrs Natalia Wilson," the Judge called, "Do you have evidence that proves your location before your arrival at London?""Your Honor," my lawyer stepped forward, "My client has made it known to me that she was pregnant with some complications at the time before her arrival at London. For this reason and due to confidentiality, her location before her arrival at London cannot be specifically proved because there were no records taken."The judge cleared his throat, "I hope you are aware that not being able to prove your location with sustainable evidences gives a

I stomped at the dinner table, causing everyone to gasp while looking at me with curiosity in their eyes but I was enraged.I looked straight at my mother, "Did you know Natalia Wilson years ago?"She stuttered, "Wh-What..what do you mean?""Answer me, mother!" I banged at the table again, "What did you do years ago?"Scott got up on his feet, "You've to relax, Nathan and tell me what's wrong. Where are you coming from and why do you look so red?""I'm coming from Natalia's house," I answered and turned back to my mother, "And she seems to have something against my mother.""Why did you go there?"

    Michelle's POVShe stepped closer, "If you push through with this divorce George, I will be your worst nightmare!" "Do you realize what you're saying, Vivian?" Mr Davis traced his step back and added, "Exposing all that we have done is tantamount to bringing yourself down as well."He continued, "In fact, you carried out most of the murder acts yourself."I gasped, causing them to turn to me."What are you both talking about? What murder and what misdeeds have you perpetuated? Who have you murdered?!" I shrieked as I couldn't understand how they could stand and comfortably accuse themselves of something as grave as murder.Vivian simply smiled, "You heard nothing child." she said to me while my lips hung open in disbelief. I knew I helped them get rid of Annabel's baby but I didn't know that they were monsters even before that. "I don't care if I go down, George."

I told him."To be honest I didn't think you would be able to host the meeting," he said, "I mean with the court case and all..I thought you'd rather be bottled up in your room.""I'm not a woman to carve in to pressure, Mr Davis. I am a fighter and regardless of the outcome of the court case I will still do what I have always planned on doing."

"Well..I heard that his daughter was abducted so I felt that he would prioritize her over the case.""You heard? From who? It wasn't published on the media. I had no idea that Samantha was abducted."Myron replied, "Since the case, I have some people keeping tabs on Scott. They must have overheard it and informed me." "You feel comfortable lying to me so skillfully," I stepped up and told him, "You had that little girl kidnapped to satisfy your desire."He sighed, "I made sure she was not handled roughly. She was simply taken to a birthday party and watched over. Besides, it was the only thing I could do to stop the case for you.""I didn't ask you to kidnap an innocent little girl, Myron.
