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

  • Ex-Wife's Revenge: Love Me Again, Dear Husband    H U N D R E D & T W E N T Y - O N E

    Annabel's POVShe says to my face, "Never, Annabel! I hate you from the depth of my heart!"If she had said this before I found out about our relationship, it wouldn't have hurt. But right now, hearing that from my sister pierced the deepest part of my heart, not to talk of her icy gaze.For the first time, I began to wonder if Michelle is capable of loving. All through the years she has claimed to love Scott, all I've seen is just entitlement, obsession, and the desire to always be above people.I stared at her and could not reply to her earlier words. If she hates me this much what's with the tears? Unable to take it anymore she turned around and walked up the stairs.I didn't want to stand there and watch the Davis' gloat over me or make me go back on my decision to forfeit this revenge. I turned on my heels and left the house.Scott came after me and stopped me just outside the entrance door."You shouldn't be doing this." I told him, wiping my tears with a tissue paper."Annabel,

    Annabel's POVShe hollered, eyes glaring with tears, "Where did you get this from?!" "Does it matter? We're sisters."She tossed the picture away and said with profound hatred in her eyes, "Never!""Sisters??" Vivian acted surprised as she came beside Michelle, "Mich, she says you're her sister but she comes here to flirt with your husband? For many years she has taken everything you ever wanted from you and now she wants to play sister?""That is unnecessary, Vivian." Scott spoke, "None of them knew they were sisters. Besides, they have both hurt one another. It's only right that they repair their relationship now that they know their identities.""Repair??" Mich turned sharply to Scott, "Repair what relationship?? I have never had a relationship with this woman! She is vile and it is impossible that we're sisters!"She picked up the picture again and held it up, "This..this means nothing! It doesn't prove any damn relationship! She..she probably is up to another mischief. After all

    Annabel's POVThe night was wary.I didn't sleep. I couldn't. My mind was a jungle of thoughts as I tried to place who exactly my mother really was.In my eyes, she was the perfect, caring and loving foster mother. So much that I didn't think of my real parents much. Each time I ask her why she adopted me and if she doesn't want a family of her own, she would tell me she was happy with just me.I remembered how she had insisted I follow her to the Davis' company. That day, it was news that his son, Scott Davis would be returning from overseas. Thousands of women gathered in front of the company but only I and my mother were selected to come in.I didn't think much of it then. I was introduced to Scott Davis and our love story began from there. Mrs King would insist on following me to the Davis' house just so she could see Michelle. Everything made sense to me now.Immediately the clock struck eight, I was in the bathroom and I was out in thirty minutes. My dressing and make up took an

    Annabel's POV.Still convinced he could get the culprit, Myron ran outside the house. I hurried over to the door and picked up the paper note.I peeled it open and found my mother's obstetric report from years ago at the Crofwell Hospital. Twin females.Myron stepped in, breathing heavily. He looked at me and said,"I couldn't get to him. It seemed someone paid him to disguise as a servant and drop those notes."When I didn't say anything, he came over and took the sheet from me. His eyes scanned through and then silence.As if fathoming what I was thinking, he said, "It's not what you think, Annabel.""It is." I whispered quietly.He sighed."That woman had a relationship with Mr Crofwell and ended up pregnant for him.""Still, that doesn't mean you are related to him.""I am." I said to him, "Infact, I could be her real daughter!""Think about it, Myron. I have never seen a man in this woman's life. While growing up, there was no time I found her with a man. This picture is the firs

    Annabel's POVDID YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR MOTHER?"Shit.." I cursed as my heart beat rapidly against my chest. I pulled the door open and stepped out in the hallway but there was no one there.I wasn't convinced. I was sure someone had slipped this note through my door. I looked further down the hallway but not a single soul was on it."Is there a problem?" "Oh God!" I nearly jumped out of my skin upon hearing a voice behind me. I exhaled and hissed slightly when it turned out to be Myron."What are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice trembling.He stared at my worried expression, "I was heading to my room. Why do you look all white? Did you see a ghost?"I stared at him and began to wonder if he had slipped that note through the door. However, it had the same inscriptions as the one that surfaced on the windscreen of my car.Myron wasn't there. Except, he was.I breathed. Maybe I'm overthinking things but then again, the same message appearing to me twice is not a simple coincidence

    Annabel's POVI did not immediately go home after my encounter at Michelle's. I couldn't. Knowing what awaits me with the kind of man Myron is, the eagerness to return to the mansion ceased to exist.I simply hanged around restaurants and parks, watched families file in and out, their smiles reaching their ears.The kids at the park could not be any happier. It was the life I wanted for my kids but I seemed to have ruined everything by getting myself involved with Myron.The smile on my lips faded and was replaced by tears. I shouldn't have placed revenge first..I should have remained with Scott...or simply move away from the city and begin a happy life with my kids...I shouldn't have prioritized revenge over my happiness.I did not stop the tears from falling. It was that point I needed a friend...a supporter...a shoulder to cry on but I don't even have that. I have no friends, just enemies- many of them. Especially my mother. I wonder what she would say to me if she were here. She'd
