A few seconds after Reid left the lawyer's office, he came in again to ask for a favor. He needs to go stay with Anna because she needs her most in that condition. "Follow them to the police custody!" He said to the young man who twisted his face on hearing that Reid will always do things in his favour especially when it has to do with something crucial.He shook his head, "I can't! They can do the work without my presence…" the lawyer stated.Reid tapped his finger on the table, "I know how stubborn Lillian is, and Felix might as well go to the DOP—but your presence will make everything go smoothly." He narrated to the lawyer, trying to make him understand things.He thought about it for a while and agreed to it. The fact that Reid is the reason he's in that position is one reason he should respect his decision. At least, the young man gives him the respect he deserves even though he was the one who put him through education and so many other things. And recalling that Felix is a di
Five days had elapsed since Anna went into a coma. Reid had been feeling depressed, at some point he felt like his world was meaningless without. Staying at home became one difficult thing for him—and he never bothered about going to work.His priority was to see Anna wake up again. No minute passed without him sitting beside her, speaking some words that could bring back the dead just the doctor advised. “You have a visitor waiting in the guest room!” the nurse in charge of the VIP ward where Anna was staying announced. He stood up, although he wasn't expecting a visitor—but he had to go see who it was.“Look after her while I'm out.” he referred to the nurse before leaving. In the guest room was seated Lilian whose arms were folded against her chest. He walked closer to her, knowing fully well that he had gotten her arrested five days ago.“What are you doing here?” his brows furrowed.She stretched her hand out as a greeting but he ignored it. “I just asked you a question, I never
According to the instructions given by the doctor, Anna will have to spend more days in the hospital before leaving. She needs to recuperate before leaving the hospital—and Reid acceded to it. But he was drained each time he recalled everything Lillian had told him about Anna.He was finding it difficult to believe her, but at the same time could see himself longing to know about the secret. “I'll need to hear from williams or rather felix, there's no way with all this evidence and signs that im seeing ill still go ahead and doubt it…” he bit his lower lips and stood up to leave.“Reid, you're leaving?” Anna called him back. He had promised to stay with her until she sleeps off, but with the urge to know the truth about her—he has to leave. “I'll be back soonest, just hang in there for me…” he uttered without taking a glance at her before departing from the room.Anna noticed the facial expression on his face and perceived that everything isn't alright from his end. “Is it his company
By the end of the day, Reid left Anna with no assurance of returning to the hospital. The only favor he did was to visit Mr. Grande and announce her daughter's condition and how she needs to be taken care of.“Is she not your wife any longer? You shouldn't even leave her side.” Mr Grande yelled at Reid after he complained about Anna's condition.Reid pouted his lips angrily, he didn't want to talk about what was going on with her father. Everything will be just between them and no one dares interfere. Even though it seemed like he already believed what Lillian had leaked, a part of him was still confused. He was still bothered about whether to believe Anna or not.Quite right, he heard the statement she made while with the nurse in the hospital, but he has no proof to believe her just like she doesn't have as well. Looking at what Lillian narrated about Anna's secret, there were few things he could hold firm as a proof that it was almost the truth.“It's been a while since I visited m
Her feet stiffened at a spot as she stared at Reid, Anna couldn't believe that the man she had never had issues with would turn out to be a monster to her. She sniffed and wiped her face. “I still insist that I'm innocent, and I'm sure you won't come back acting nice when the truth unfolds.” she uttered and went back to the chair she was seating when they came in.Their presence shouldnt disrupt her work, even though it's so painful. When she was almost done with what she was doing, she took a glance at the back to see Lillian putting on her clothes—lying freely on the bed.She gulped and decided to keep calm. She was completely done with her work.Reid was standing beside the wardrobe when she shut down her PC, packed up the files she was working on and put them into her handbag. She approached Lillian who was busy playing games on her cell phone—grabbed her leg and drew her out of the bed.“What do you think you're doing?” Lillian yelled while on the floor. She stood up immediately
“I didn't mean to act nice, just saving you from his wrath.” Reid uttered, seeing the way Anna was staring at him, he perceived how shocked she must have been to see her defend her even when their relationship was disorganized. He didn't mean to do that, but he can still tell how and why he acted that way.“Stop the stares and go to bed…” he referred to her,but she handed the key she was holding to him and climbed on the bed. Reid was short of words, he didn't know whether to leave the room like he had wanted or stay back. “Is this a trap or test? What does she have upstairs?” he contemplated but couldn't come up with any reasonable thoughts.He laid on the bed and cuddled her, having in mind to leave after she fell deep asleep.“What do you think you're doing? Lillian will be pissed off if she sees you holding your abandoned wife this way…” she uttered, her voice sounding weak. He took a look at her face and stretched his lips. “Just sleep! I'll leave after you fall asleep.”“Disgust
The next day, Lillian got dressed and claimed to go see a friend at a boutique, Reid insisted on dropping her off. She tried as much as she could to convince him not to bother. “Now that I'm caring about you, you wish to kick me off huh?” he arched his brows.She swallowed deeply and blinked twice. “That's not what I meant—just that you're going to work, and dropping me off might cause you to be late.”“I am the CEO and I have a manager, so even in my absence the company will still run its business…” he grabbed his cell phone. “Wait for me in the sitting room, i'll be there soon.” he walked out of the room.Lillian knew he was going to see Anna, but she didn't react. All she hopes is that she already has him at the back of her palm, so there's nothing that Anna will do to draw him back to himself easily.When Reid reached his room, he was shocked to see the room empty. He checked every corner of the room to see if she was hidden somewhere, but the room was completely empty without a t
Reid watched Anna as she insisted on not giving him the documents, he left the office but wasn't feeling comfortable. He wouldn't blame Anna either, the young lady is trying to protect her properties from her enemies—but then he needs to do this, he needs to have the documents handed over to his lawyer before things get out of hand.He went back into the company building again and made use of the elevator that took him to her office lane, but immediately he stepped into the passageway leading to her office, he sighted her leaving the office with her manager.“Right target!” He smiled and sneaked into the office immediately after she left with her manager. Fast enough, he began searching for the files and found them on the last drawer of her table—then he left with it and made use of the elevator again. He left immediately to his lawyer's office and dropped the file on his table. “Keep it safe and give it to no one—I'll come for it at the right time.” he twitched out of the office, kee
