ANNABELLE’S POVI took in the view of my surroundings as I alighted from the plane with my little bundle of joy, Michael. The only gift and reward for my wasted years with Jake. I held him firmly as we headed towards the baggage claim area, knowing he was quite energetic and could wander out of my sight.Leaving San Francisco was the best decision I ever made because remaining there triggered memories I was trying so hard to forget. Life was just fine, almost perfect till Jake decided to take all we had for granted. I pushed my shades backwards and adjusted my mask to avoid being recognised.Just a month ago, my face appeared on media pages and billboards as one of the smartest, fast-rising surgeons in the city, but things went haywire when Jake's multiple sex scandals got to the internet. He was confronted by the press and without thinking twice, he told them that the substances which facilitated his libido were supplied by me. This sent the wrong signal and I was summoned by the FSM

MARK DICKSON’S POVI am a feared and respected don but yet, my father still nagged at me.‘Marriage? What do these old men see in marriage?’ Ladies are weak and I don't want anyone tying me down.They are just tools to relieve my urges. I didn't grow up to have a mother but rather I was happy I still had my grandma. She was the only lady who earned my respect and love, no one else deserved it.I had a lady to pick up from the airport which was very irritating and a waste of time. Arriving at the airport to pick the lady whom my grandfather had arranged for me to meet. Like it wasn't bad enough, a lady bumped into me, her long brunette hair, blue dull eyes. It was as if she hadn't slept for ages and her skin looked pale m‘If she eats more maybe, I believe her curves will be damn irresistible.’ Shit! What was I thinking? Just then, we froze in place, gazing keenly into each other's eyes. I jolted back to reality but she remained dumbstruck like it was a movie scene. “Are you blind la

ANNABELLE'S POV“Now, start talking,” he ordered and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and gosh!! he looked heavenly, it was as if this man came out from a fantasy world.Instead of speaking as he ordered, I was drooling over him in admiration of his facial features which was the only good thing about this man.“It looks like you can't get enough of me, do you want more?” He asked and my cheeks went all red, and I turned away, clearing my throat. "I was only trying to pay rapt attention" I mumbled incoherently, rubbing my sweaty palms together.Even with my eyes off him, I could feel his piercing gaze on my soul.I sighed deeply. "Is he still waiting for an answer? I can't possibly tell him the truth" I wondered to myself, trying to help myself out of the awkward situation I was in."Belle" His cold voice sounded and I froze. Not everyone can call me Belle.I turned my head slowly and threw him a hard glare. "We're not close to an acquaintance, Mr. Dickson. Miss. Villarreal is eno

MARK'S POV"Now, do you care to explain what you've been looking for in my territory before you lose your second ear?" I berated threateningly, signalling to my men to remove the cloth stuffed in his mouth.He coughed out a huge amount of blood and choked hard. "You'll never find out who's behind this. He'll destroy you, regardless of how hard you fight. Trust me."I was taken aback by his words. "Are you saying there's a bigger enemy?"I waited for an answer, but the half-dead man kept his lips sealed. My patience was running out. If there was really a bigger enemy, that would explain how they got hold of the guns and ammunition worth billions. Cruz was rich, but compared to my wealth alone, he was just an average man."Cruz, let's negotiate" I offered, breaking the silence. He scoffed and looked away.Regardless, I continued. "Let's make a deal, you tell me who the bigger boss is, and I'll give you a maximum of 48 hours to leave the country and never come back again."He threw me a
