"Have you been taking your prenatal vitamins?""Yes, I have.""That's good.""There's the baby." The doctor smiled as she pointed to the monitor."Everything looks good. Let me just wipe this gel off.""Are you both first-time parents?" She asked and we both nodded."Well, that's very nice. This is truly a wonderful experience for you both." She smiled as she wiped the gel off.After we were done, Alex and I had breakfast at the diner. Then Alex dropped me home and he went to work.I was watching TV when the doorbell rang.When I got to the door, Evie was standing there with shades on. Her lips were bruised and her face was caked in makeup.This isn't good!"I know I'm the last person you want to see but I need to talk to you. Please.""You're right I don't want to see you. So leave. I don't care about what you have to say."Wait, I need to talk to you, please. Just a few minutes of your time. Please." She pleaded and I sighed."Fine, come on in."Phillip went to the balcony and Xande

"Now that I'm here, you won't need those bodyguards." Damien said."Can you protect her? No you can't." Alex replied. We were sitting at the table having dinner.These two were bickering about whether or not I should keep the bodyguards."Yes I can protect her. I already protected her before.""Um no you didn't. You ran away and left the guy in there.""She'll be fine with me. It wasn't that big of a deal.""Okay you two. That's enough. Let's all just calm down okay?""Fine." Alex sighed."Okay.""I'm fine with the bodyguards being here. It made me feel safe. That's not saying you can't help Damien. The more, the merrier.""I guess you're right.""Good. All that bickering for nothing." I rolled my eyes.They're gonna argue about everything. I just know it.~"Ofcourse you can come Damien." I said and he smiled."I know it's a family gathering. I didn't want to intrude.""You won't be intruding. I told you this already. Stop doing too much. You asked to be here." Alex added."Only beca

"I'm just glad you're okay, Paige.""That was scary, Annie. One minute you were there, and then I was out cold. I thought I'd lost you. I'm so happy you're safe.""You too. I'm so relieved they caught that asshole." I sighed."Me too, girl." We chatted on the phone for a bit, then I went to meet Alex in the kitchen. He was talking to Damien.They stopped talking when I entered the room."What's wrong?" I asked."We were discussing the events of today, but we didn't want to upset you." Alex walked over to me and kissed my forehead."It's fine.""Julius isn't talking. He refuses to speak at all." Alex sighed."Of course, he'd do that," I muttered."Typical," Damien added."It's obvious this wasn't going to blow over this easily.""What about the driver?""He says he doesn't know anything." Alex sighed."Figures. What's the plan then?""The investigation will continue, and there will be charges brought against them.""That's good. I wish we could have found the leader behind all of this.

Annette"Yes dear, I'm shaken up as well," Candace sighed."I didn't know that Nathan would do something like this. I'm so sorry, Annette.""It's a lot to process," I admitted as I sipped the tea Candace made for me."It is. He's my son, so I can't help but feel hurt and this heaviness in my heart. It's too painful. I can't believe it. I didn't think he'd go that far and do that to you. I'm so sorry, Annie.""It's not your fault, Candace." I reached out and touched her hand."You can make someone, but you can't make their mind. He did this of his own will, and while it's disgusting, you aren't to blame. When I met Nathan, he was the sweetest guy. He was amazing, and he cared about me and everyone around him. He was selfless and amazing. Somewhere along the line, he changed and became someone else. I know this must be hard on you, seeing your son like this.""It is hard, but I can't imagine what it has been like for you. It must have been tragic and scary. I'm so sorry, Annette.""All

Annette's POVMy heart was racing as I looked around the house. Was someone there? Was Nathan still doing this?"Annie, are you okay?" Alex asked, I hadn't even heard him come in."No, we need to go see Nathan now.""Now? What happened?""Alex, I need to talk to him. If my suspicions are correct, we've been played. Let's go.""Alright."We arrived at the detention center, and Alex spoke to the man at the desk. Shortly after, he escorted us to a room."Interrogate the shit out of him, Alex," the man smirked as he left the room.Nathan was brought in a short while later. He wore a grey shirt and grey pants. His hands were handcuffed, and he looked tired."Annie! You came! Thank goodness!""Settle down. I'm just here to ask a few questions," I said, and he nodded."Why?" That was all I said."Annie, I would never do anything to hurt you.""Just like how you hurt Evie?""Annie-"Your case doesn't look good right now.""Nathan, a confession could get you less time," Alex said."You don't g

WARNING ( EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT ⚠️)Annette's POVAnd so, the bodyguards were back! I felt a lot safer knowing that they were going to be with me when Alex wasn't there. A lot has happened, from being stalked to almost kidnapped and then to finding out I have a sister out there.I was super excited to find her, though. I wondered what she was like. I couldn't wait to meet her."Girl, that's way too much butter," Tiffany told Paige. We were currently at my house baking."No, it's not. Annie, is this too much butter?""No, it's not. It's batter for two cakes, so that should be fine.""See! I was right," Tiffany smirked."Annie, when should we start planning the baby shower?""Probably two weeks from now.""Good! I can't friggin wait! That baby is gonna have the best auntie ever!" Paige rubbed my belly."I'm gonna be the best, Auntie." Tiffany countered"Yeah? We'll see about that."I laughed at their playful banter. I love my friends so much."Guys, I forgot to tell you that I have a

Annette's POVI woke up to the smell of food. Specifically pancakes. My mouth watered instantly.I rolled off my bed and went downstairs to meet Alex."Good morning," I greeted Alex as I walked downstairs.He was in the kitchen placing the food on the table."Good morning baby girl. Did you sleep well?" He asked and I nodded."Did you?""Yes, thanks to you," He said and I blushed."Alex!""What?" He chuckled."You're so cute," He pulled me into his arms.We sat down and ate breakfast in comfortable silence. This was the life I always wanted. To be with someone that loved me.

How are you holding up?""I'm good Damien. It's nice to hear from you. We found out that Nathan was the one who attacked me. He was behind the threats and kidnapping.""That's fucking sick," He cursed."He went too far! I can't b

Annette's POVWe both sat next to each other, evident looks of surprise."I can't believe what I'm seeing," I sighed."Annie, it took me a long time to process.""Wait, what?""I've known for a while now.""Girl, you gotta be joking. You know I'm your sister but you fucked Nathan.""I was jealous. Before my mom disappeared on me. She told me I had a sister out there. All she said was that Annette was her pride and joy. She said I couldn't be half of her even if I tried. She boasted how rich and successful you were. Naturally, I got jealous. When I finally found you, I saw that you had a perfect life and that you had a husband. You lived in a wonderful house and you looked so happy.""So I went after Nathan. I was just a nobody. I couldn't afford a lavish lifestyle, so I had to take it by force. I knew that we were related, and I did what I had to do to get that lifestyle. I ended up falling in love with Nathan in the process. Annie, I'm so sorry."I was speechless. There was nothing I
