I'm sorry for not introducing myself from the beginning..
I'm "Annabel Wills" an orphan, I lost my parents in a ghastly accident since I was four, I can't even recall any memory about them as they are now faint in my mind, but I have aunt Sarah and her husband who are playing the role of my parents. I'm 22, I'm tall, curvy and hot. I have an extra ordinary unique sexy eyes which turn seablue when I'm tensed and grey when I'm happy.. I'm an introvert who loves staying indoors, i love big clothes and have an annoying younger cousin brother, who always gets on my nerves, but I love him irregardless.. I have a boyfriend whose name is "Gabriel" I love him so much and don't know what I can do without him, he is 25 and stays alone, he doesn't really know who he is because he lost his memories after an accident some years back before I met him, he is a chef and runs a small bakery in town,he is very handsome and cool. We dream of getting Married someday and above all I hate Rich dudes; they are arrogant, rude, bossy and proud.. I always avoid crossing their paths or have anything to do with them.
The worst is that i cry so easily and avoids having any kind of argument or issues with anyone.
you would get to know me as you follow this story...
" ALEX....
I tapped on my desk as I listened to"shape of you" by Ed Sheeran feeling happy and victorious over the successful termination of "Mr Martin Luther" while my assistant stood at the front of my desk waiting for me to sign the documents she came in with which will be needed for tomorrow's meeting. My cell phone rang and I checked the caller ID which showed "MOM" which instantly changed my mood but I calmed my self down and decided to pick her call, as it is the hundredth time she has been calling me since months now.
What do she want this time? why won't she just stop calling my phone I asked myself Picked the call due to my serene mood.
Alex why haven't you come to visit us "Mrs Darkerman asked as Alex picked up
why should I? Alex asked back
Answer my question Alexander! you can't continue treating us like we mean nothing to you.
Ofcourse! you and your good for nothing husband means nothing to me Alex replied
Shut up Alexander and never in your life refer to your father as good for nothing.. you have to change your life style, I saw the video that has been trending about you and the top model from Asia, how can you treat someone like she ain't a human being like yourself. You are becoming more heartless and evil, you are so mean that no one matters to you anymore, even your own parents; i never raised a devil as a son Alexander! i raised you with love and tenderness as a mother would to her only child Mrs Darkerman said bursting into tears over the phone
You ain't my mom I repeat and would never be,just stop calling my phone to tell me nonsense.. I hate you and your husband and I'm not coming anytime soon, not this year nor next Alex said and cut the call with so much anger.. He smashed the phone on the wall of his office and punched his desk which made his assistant start shivering with fear, she wanted to leave but couldn't because he needed to sign the documents she came with, this is his third outburst for the day, his anger issues is getting out of hand his assistant thought as she contemplated if she should ask him to sign the documents or quietly leave, but after some minutes she decided to ask him to sign it since the documents would be needed for the meeting holding the next day, she looked up to his face with fear and called
Sir!
Get out! Alex thundered on top of his voice cutting her short which made her run out of his office.
Stupid human beings everywhere Alex caused, he dialed his secretary's phone number which she picked up immediately the call went through
Cancel all my meetings for the day he told his secretary who was in charge of his daily engagement and meetings with people, who troop into his office everyday seeking for one thing or another,while his assistant that left some minutes ago was in charge of the occasional big engagement like share holders meetings,board meetings and all the others
But sir! his secretary tried to protest
Do as I said or you would lose your job Alex said and cut the call.
After some, minutes a call came in.. How is the investigations going Alex asked in a quiet tone as he calmed himself down
We are on it boss, the woman that we were referred to that saved the baby that day, has been confirmed long dead as we went to inquire about her in the village we heard she stays in, we got referred to another person, who is now leaving abroad.. We have started making arrangements to go find him tomorrow someone announced over the phone
Venom! make sure you find that girl, she has to die in order for the truth not to be spilled,or for she not to be found; everything has to continuously remain in my custody.
Yes sir venom replied and cut the call.
I have to end everything for "Macmillan" my beloved uncle from my father's side which he made me promised him on his death bed.. Everything that happened in the past,was for my own good and have to remain in the past . I have to be grateful and fulfill what I promised him as I owe him a worthy payback, by carrying out his last assignment before he got diagnosed by Corona virus and died after some weeks interval.. I reminded myself'
I miss him so much, he is the only one that understands me, and also the one that taught me how the modern society runs, he made me who I am today, and I would be forever grateful.. Rest in peace "Macmillan" until we meet again I said with respect
After some minutes of remembering the blissful memories I had with him, while growing up until he died two years back, a tear dropped from my right eye which I cleaned up immediately.. I started feeling dizzy as a result of the outburst of emotions that coarsed through me; I took my usual sleeping pills to calm myself down, entered my private room in my office and laid on my king sized bed as I fell asleep soon after
