Semua Bab You Want Me Back, Don't You?: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Anaya parked her car in the apartment premises and stepped out into the evening air. She was still deep in thoughts after the conversation she had with Daisy.The last statement Daisy made has been ringing in her mind with questions that couldn’t be answered. Daisy had mentioned that her goal was to take away Anaya’s family, the same way Anaya did with hers. But how was that possible?Daisy had only a younger brother and her parents were both alive. Anaya had visited their house a couple of times in high school and they seemed pretty normal. In fact, Daisy was very close with her parents which sometimes made Anaya miss her late parents.Daisy had a family so what did she mean by Anaya took her family away?But one thing was clear now. Daisy’s motive wasn’t because of the crush she had on Thomas. There was something more. Something much deeper as Maia had mentioned that day.But what could it possibly be?Anaya’s thoughts were interrupted when someone grabbed her by the wrist and pulled

Anaya walked down the staircase of the hallway, noting how everyone’s eyes were on her. She prayed inwardly that she wouldn’t trip on the tail of her dress and fall down the stairs. One of the reasons she hated being late was the fact that everyone’s scrutiny fell on her. This wasn’t even ‘fashionably’ late. She picked her outfit today in a rush after her new secretary, Norah, was kind enough to remind her about the event thirty minutes before the commencement time.Norah’s excuse was that she thought Anaya was too sick to attend. Anaya couldn’t say anything as she was too busy rushing to get dressed for the event.The company has been stale for a while after Yara’s generous investments and she needed other contacts for more progress. This event came at the right time and even though she wasn’t in the right state of mind to socialise, she wasn’t going to waste the opportunity to improve her company’s stats.The air felt charged and goosebumps filled her skin suddenly. She moved her e

Anaya dropped her laptop on the coffee table in her living room. She moved to the kitchen to get the bowl of ramen and a bottle of water before heading back.It was the weekend and she was using this opportunity to work on the piled up files before work resumes on Monday. She had a meeting with a possible partner and she needed Norah to work on the presentation but her secretary has been delaying so she planned to work on it herself.With her work attitude, Norah wasn’t fit enough to be the chief secretary. Anaya had tried to convince Maia to come back to work but Maia asked her to give her some time.She knew it wasn’t going to be easy for Maia especially as news about her trying to kill Anaya had spread across the company. She wasn’t sure how that happened but she did her best to curb the damage, announcing that it was nothing but fake news.Anaya just wanted to get to the bottom of this Daisy and Sandra’s fiasco so her life could be normal again. And Maia could only be confidently r

Tears filled Joanne’s eyes and Anaya felt guilty that she had touched a sensitive spot. But she needed to get to the bottom of this. Joanne wasn’t Daisy’s real mother? This wasn’t making sense.“I-I thought you knew.” Joanne muttered as her lips quivered. “Knew what?” Anaya asked.“I am Daisy’s foster mother.” Joanne revealed, dabbing her tears to hold back her tears.“I-I had no idea.” Anaya couldn’t help but stutter with shock. “Your love for her never once made me doubt that she wasn’t your daughter.” Anaya realized just how much she didn’t know about Daisy who had allegedly been her best friend for close to a decade. “Of course.” Joanne smiled despite the tears in her eyes. “I had never once thought less of her ever since she was brought home at just twelve years old. Even though I gave birth to Lewis just a year later, my love for Daisy never diminished in any way.” “Twelve years old.” Anaya murmured. That was the same age her parents had died. She didn’t want to think too mu

“Good morning, ma’am.” The receptionist in the front desk at the law firm smiled warmly at Anaya. “Who are you here to see?” She asked politely and Anaya instantly took a liking to her.Unlike other receptionists who are either extremely rude or completely bored with their work, she seemed genuinely nice and her smile looked sincere. Somehow, her ambiance soothed the rage in Anaya’s head slightly.“Mr. Jetkins. I called him this morning.” Anaya muttered and the lady nodded before giving a call to the lawyer.Anaya’s heart was still beating fast at the possibility that her parents could have been responsible for Daisy’s father’s death. Joanne had informed her that the man was killed in a car accident on a rainy night. And he died the same year her parents had that accident that took their lives.She hoped it was merely a coincidence. And that both accidents happened on totally different days. But there was still a dark thought lurking in her mind. What if it wasn’t?What if her parents
