ANNA'S POV

The doors of the vehicle made a small thud as we entered the back of the car. The faint sound echoed in my ears longer than it should have, blending with the ringing silence that hung between us. My chest felt tight as I sank into the seat, my fingers trembling slightly as I tried to steady them on my lap. I took in a small, shaky breath, but even the air felt heavy, pressing against my lungs as I tried to recover from the horrible news I’d just heard.

A storm of thoughts crashed through my head all at once, loud and relentless. My dad, the man who raised me, who tucked me in when I had nightmares, who made me feel like I belonged in a house where I always felt like an outsider wasn’t actually my dad. The words circled in my mind again and again, cruel and sharp, each repetition cutting deeper.

I squeezed my arms around myself as though holding tight would stop the pain from spreading. But it didn’t. The realization stung all over again, and before I could stop it, tear

    ANNA'S POV “So with us moving back to California, does that mean the drug would launch there?” Daniel asked, glancing over his shoulder as we folded clothes into one of the large silver luggage boxes sprawled open on the bed. His tone was casual, but I could tell from the way his eyebrows were slightly drawn together that he was genuinely curious, maybe even a little worried. “Well,” I said, neatly folding one of my cream-colored tops and placing it inside the box, “I’ve been thinking about that. My ex — when I re-engineered the last formula that he took credit for, he got signed under a company. After that, the drug was released worldwide.” My voice came out steady, though my hands slowed slightly as the memories brushed past my mind. It wasn’t something I liked revisiting, but it was part of my reality now. Daniel leaned forward, resting one hand on the edge of the box. “So, you want to get signed under a company before you release your own?” he asked, looking a bit puzzled. “I

    ANNA'S POV My dad let out a small smile, still looking at Daniel like he was telling some kind of bad joke. For a few seconds, the room was quiet except for the faint ticking of the wall clock. I glanced between both of them, my brows furrowing in confusion. Who was Uncle Larry? “Is this a joke?” my dad finally said after realizing Daniel wasn’t laughing or cracking a smile. His tone was half curious, half desperate, as if he wanted so badly for Daniel to say it was all some misunderstanding. “Dad,” Daniel began softly, shaking his head. “I would never come back into town just to tell you a joke like this. Ryan called me a few minutes ago to tell me.” I watched the color slowly drain from my father’s face. His smile faded completely, replaced by a blank stare as his gaze drifted toward the floor. His hands trembled slightly as he whispered, “Larry…” His voice broke midway through the name, the word barely leaving his lips. “Take a seat,” my mom said immediately, her voice calm b

  • Pregnant And Abandoned, I Returned As A Hidden Heiress   CHAPTER 016

    ANNA'S POV It’s been five years since I came to Russia. When I first arrived, I stayed indoors for almost a whole week, maybe even longer, just trying to get used to everything. The air felt different, the way people spoke, the cold breeze that clung to my skin every morning, it was all strange to me. I planned to stay inside for a while, partly because I didn’t really know their language here. Every time someone spoke to me, I had to guess what they were saying from their expressions or gestures. It was exhausting, but I told myself I’d get better with time. After a while, my brother Daniel started helping me understand a little about Russian. He’d been here much longer than I had, and unlike me, he fit right in. He was already a known athlete here in Russia everyone seemed to know his name. He had this confidence in him that made people listen when he spoke, something I admired deeply. I haven’t met my sister yet because she didn’t follow us when we first came. She wasn’t here in

    ANNA'S POV *5 years Later* My hands were shaking, my gaze steady on the glass tube that rested on the steel table. “One drop… that’s all it would take.” The words managed to leave my lips, quiet and trembling, even though there was no one near me to hear them. The new compound, Veloraquine-S, shimmered faintly gold under the harsh glow of the lab lights. Its liquid surface rippled slightly each time I exhaled too hard, as if it shared the same nervous energy crawling beneath my skin. This was it, months of sleepless nights, countless failed tests, and endless recalculations, all narrowing down to this single drop. Veloraquine-S was more than just another experiment. It was the culmination of everything I’d been fighting for — a reformulated antiviral that could change everything. If this worked, it could do what no major corporation had dared to even attempt: to cure Hepatitis C in a way every child, every struggling parent, every person in the world could afford. No patents mean

    ANNA'S POV “A vacation? To where and why?” I asked, my brows furrowing slightly as I looked between my parents. “Well, we were thinking of Germany or Russia,” my mom said with a small smile. “We haven’t really made a decision yet, we wanted you to pick.” My lips parted slightly in disbelief. “I can’t come with you guys. I don’t even have a passport, and I can’t just leave the country just like that. I’ve never done that before.” My dad leaned back in his chair, his expression calm but firm. “Do you have something that’s keeping you here like college, work, or any other thing?” “No,” I replied softly. “Then there’s really no issue,” he said without hesitation. “If it’s about your passport, we can get that done in hours. It’s just left for you to make up your mind and come with us. This whole trip was mainly because of you because we want to spend time together as a family.” My mom reached out gently, placing her hand over mine. Her touch was warm, reassuring. “We’re not forcing

    ANNA'S POV “I refused to take mine off the moment they took you,” my mom said, her voice trembling slightly as her fingers brushed over the necklace around her neck. “I always wore it so I’d recognize it anywhere, at any time. Thankfully, my secretary was the person who noticed you first. The day I found you… A lady bought something from you.” She paused, her gaze locked on me as though she was waiting for me to connect the dots. My eyes drifted down to the table. A lot had happened that day — too much, in fact, for me to easily recall something as small as a single sale. My mind tried to sift through the blur of moments until…wait. Something clicked. I remembered clearly that day. Business had been painfully slow. I hadn’t made any real sales, and just before closing up, one woman had walked in. She had bought some snacks. “Yeah… I remember,” I said slowly, my voice quiet but certain. My mom gave a small nod, the corners of her lips twitching into a faint smile. “When she came in
