Annabel's POV

I retracted my hand causing him to frown.

He looked at his palm and then said to me, "Uhm..is there a problem Mrs Wilson or my hands are dirty?"

I looked up at him with a smile and nodded, "Yes, they're dirty."

"Ah, apologies if that's the case then! I was just excited to see you."

"Enough, Jaggers. Give me the document!" Fabian ordered and took a close look at them.

"You will need to get the information of the shares from the files in your office, sir." said Jaggers.

Fabian sighed. He looked like leaving me for a second could cost him his life. At last he rose from his seat,

"I'll be right back, Natalia."

I nodded and watched him leave. I picked my glass of wine and had a sip.

"Mr Jaggers." I called out loud, making him turn his gaze to me.

I smiled and he smiled back, quite awkwardly.

I hit the nail on the head and asked, "Where are my mother's assets?"

"W-what?"

I rose from the chair and stopped in front of him. I repeated, "Where are my mother's assets?"

    Annabel's POVI was excited to receive this message from Mr. Davis. It meant that he must have considered giving me what I requested for. On second thoughts, I wondered why my secretary did not inform me of his messages. I scrolled through my phone and called Claire."Good morning, ma'am." her voice came through."Morning, Claire. No messages from Mr. Davis??""N-no, ma'am. None at all.""When did you start lying to me?" I asked, disappointed, "I received messages from him to my private number this morning and he lamented on his messages left unattended.""Why did you not inform me?""Please madam..forgive me," she pleaded with a shaky voice, "I..I really wanted to inform you however the..the boss warned me not to. I..I had no choice.""The boss?" I repeated, "You mean, my husband?""Yes ma'am..please forgive me!""It's fine, Claire but the next time you do this I'll have you fired immediately!" I warned and ended the call afterwards.I stepped into the bath and had a quick shower. I

    Annabel's POVI found Mr Davis already waiting for me at the location he'd texted. Looking around, I found the entire restaurant empty with just a table occupied by I and Mr Davis.He must be really serious about me. It's a good thing, I thought as I exchanged greetings with Mr. Davis who rose on his feet and pulled out the chair for me."Thank you." I said as I took my seat."I'm glad you came alone, Natalia." he said to me, "I hope you didn't get any trouble on the way?""None except me wondering why a married man wants to meet with me privately," I answered, "Looking around, it's not hard to tell that you bought this entire restaurant."Mr Davis chuckled, "Ah, c'mon Natalia. Quit the formalities." he drew close and held my hand, "You know the reason why I called you here."I replied, "I'm not so sure."He grinned, "I guess beautiful women like you love playing hard to get."I sipped my wine, "Hard to get? Did you not think that you might not be pushing the right buttons?"He stared

    Scott's POV "You might want to sit down." I said to him but Jaggers suddenly walked to me and grabbed my arm. "We can't talk here," he spoke quickly, "We need somewhere more safe and secure." I quickly understood what he meant so I phoned my driver parked at a distance. When the car arrived, we got into it and left the park. Several meters away, I asked the driver to stop and then told him to leave. "I will call for you few minutes from now." I said to him and as he shut the door, silence rented the air. "I..I thought she..she is dead." Jaggers said, "She..she looks nothing like Annabel. I..I still don't believe it's her." "It's her." I replied, "She's changed everything about her to hide her identity." "Including faking her death all those years ago?" I nodded Jaggers chuckled, "All this to get back at us?" "We hurt her." I said despite myself, "And she resorted to this following Myron's advice." "I'm afraid, with the way she's moving, she could hurt herself." Jaggers tho

    Annabel's POV"By anything, do you mean the way you murdered Mrs Elizabeth Davis just to become the second and only wife?"Staring at my face wondering how I knew, she did not immediately reply. Few seconds passed and then she stepped up and said, "Yes. I mean just that."I laughed haughtily as I returned to my seat, swiveling the chair as I stared at the furious woman in front of me.I replied, "You didn't think I came all the way here just to get killed, did you?"She scrunched up her face as she grimaced, "What do you mean?""Nevermind," I breathed, "You may excuse me now, I was studying just how to make Davis Industries become a better place when you barged in."After a long and hard look, she angrily picked up her bag and dashed out, slamming the door behind her. An immense satisfaction hit me. I never knew revenge could taste this sweet....Scott's POVI arrived home by dusk and walked into the mansion to find Samantha watching her favorite cartoon.Immediately she saw me, she

    Myron's POVAt this point, I was already thinking of a way to deport I and Annabel back to London. It was a complete mistake letting her come back here. She doesn't listen to me anymore and just does what she thinks is right and it is of no benefit to me. I downed my third bottle of Scotch and watched the pole dancers closely, trying to get my mind off Annabel's disobedience but it was what led me to the bar in the first place and I can't seem to put it off my head.I need to act fast. I have to find a way to return us back to London and after that, we're never stepping foot in this goddamn city again. I didn't even need to think of how Annabel doesn't see me anymore ever since she got busy with the Davis'.It's always, "Good morning, see you later!" or "I have business to catch up on!" Even the kids barely see her. She comes late from wherever she went, takes a quick shower and buckles up in bed ignoring my questions with a plea of, "Please Myron, I had a long day."I clutched at t

    Annabel's POVI lifted my gaze to find Scott. I breathed in sharply, contemplating whether to use the elevator or not. It's already hard when he brings up all that Annabel stuff say less of us being in the same elevator."The meeting is happening on the last floor," his voice pierced my thoughts as his enchanting emerald eyes fell upon my legs, "Considering those high heels, you would only bruise those beautiful legs trying to take the stairs." I sighed and finally forced my legs into the elevator. My breath hitched as the doors closed silently. I couldn't help but ponder what fate was trying to do, bringing I and Scott this close even when I have decided to put the past behind me and get my revenge.Silence reigned and then,"I can forgive you for everything, Annabel but I don't think I can ever forgive you for destroying your lustre hair."I kept mute."Do you remember the night I proposed to you?" he continued, "When I told you how much I love your lustre hair next to how much I r

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.

Reporters gathered around us asking numerous questions and making absurd statements.With the bodyguards' help we managed to get into the court house despite the paparazzi's harassment.I took my seat shakily beside Myron. 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

    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."

He smiled upon seeing me."I thought I could catch up with the meeting, turns out I'm late." he said as he gave me his arm and together we walked out of the company."Well with me here, you have nothing to worry about." 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." I replied."I am more than fascinated with you Natalia," he paused and added, "I thought they could be a way to make you happy amidst this turmoil.""Hm." We stepped out of the company just then.

    Annabel's POV "I and Natalia were more than just acquaintances many years ago," Scott was speaking in the plaintiff's box with his eyes fixated on me, "Long before she met her current husband. We had a misunderstanding that tore us apart but at that time she was carrying my boys without my knowledge.""Since she was carrying the boys without your knowledge, how then did you find out?" his lawyer asked."During one of our arguments, she had a fall that resulted to pains. I had her rushed to the hospital and overheard her pleading with the Doctor to keep her pregnancy a secret.""Objection, my Lord!" my lawyer countered."Objection granted."My lawyer stepped forward, "Your Honor, it is baseless assertion to claim that Mr Scott Davis actually had a relationship with Mrs Natalia Wilson. Moreover, the city of New York is well aware of Mr Scott Davis' life as he is a popular figure and nowhere is it that he was in a relationship with Mrs Natalia Wilson."He added, "Besides, my client her
