Vengeance of the heiress

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Annie's POV

Months after the interaction with Armstrong's mother,I felt hurt by her words on how she would suggest I abort the baby to avoid any connection with her son. Severally she had approached and threaten I abort the pregnancy but I had always refused

I knew she was up to something but I kept my watch, I had a chance at the hospital I attend to care for my baby.

But unfortunately after Pushing! Screaming and delivering my baby,I woke up to the cold news by the doctor.

My child was dead a few minutes after he was born, how was that possible? He was healthy and strong, I could hear his sweet cries as I lay there helplessly before I slept off.

I sat in my darkened room, surrounded by the silence of my grief. The walls seemed to close in around me, suffocating me with their emptiness. I had cried my eyes out,when I had lost my baby, the tiny life that had been growing inside me. I was suffocating, it was as if my dioxides refused to exhale. Making it difficult for me to breathe, after all, I struggled to keep him but I knew something must be behind the sudden death.

I felt a wave of hatred wash over me, directed at the people I blamed for my loss. Armstrong, ex my husband, who had betrayed me with his ex-girlfriend. His mother, who had manipulated and schemed to destroy our marriage, even threatened to abort the child . They had all played a part in my downfall, and now they would have to pay for it. The thought of revenge burned within me,remembering it makes me more furious.

All I wanted was revenge, nothing much, I just wanted them to taste from the cup they fed me from . I wanted to make them pay for what they had done to me and making me lose my child, the only thing that would have console me because the test carried out shows he was injected with a poison injection,the CTTV couldn't detest by who but I had strong faith it was my suspect but I had no legal evidence against them

. I wanted to see them suffer, to feel the same pain and anguish that I was feeling. But to do that, I needed to empower myself first. I needed to find a way to rise above my pain and become stronger. I couldn't let them see me weak and vulnerable. I had to be fierce, determined then watch Armstrong crawl and beg me.

That's when I knew I had to go back to my father's house.I am giving up on hiding my true identity. Maybe it is time to show my real self. I had left my original self to marry Armstrong hiding my real self from him to see if he truly loves me but I got it wrong now I needed my father's help and support as his only child.

I packed my bags to go visit my father, staying over there for a while would help me.

I had missed him so much,as I arrived at the house, I felt a sense of relief I had left the several pains behind me

I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car, my heart pounding in my chest. The familiar sight of the house and the surrounding gardens brought back a flood of memories, but I pushed them aside. I had to focus on the present, not the past, so as to forget about my child

Stepping inside the house, I was enveloped in a warm hug by my father. "Annie, my dear, I'm so glad you're home," he said, his voice filled with love and concern. I couldn't hold the tears in my eyes as I hugged him tightly. I felt a wave of relief wash over me, knowing that I had made the right decision by coming back home but I was sad I wasted my year seeking for true love. I vowed never to disclose what I passed through to my father because he will make sure Armstrong and his mother never see the next broad light. so I will handle the revenge myself.

My father held me at arm's length, looking me up and down. "You look tired, slimmed and worried , Annie, tell me what is it?" he said, his eyes filled with concern but I couldn't speak. I tried hiding those tears. "Come and sit down. We'll talk about everything later, the most important thing is you are back” he said in a happy tone I nodded my head. feeling a sense of gratitude towards him. He was always there for me, no matter what, he had been my comfort but I thought I could do it myself to find true love without him guiding me but I was wrong.

I really enjoyed myself. My room was still intact and well arranged as always cleaned and well decorated. Maybe he took a Long time for me to come back.

I decided to speak to him about the company, and I am back to claim it. “Are you serious? you are ready to care for it?” he asked with excitement in his voice. I knew he was shocked that I had decided to take over the company but I reassured him. I recalled the last time he presumed I take over the company, I refused with the reason that I want to leave a free life where I won't be followed around by guards, I just wanted to feel the freedom others feel but it seem I wasn't design that way, going out there led me into trauma and depression from Armstrong and his mother.

“Your car, your account and everything I took from you will be returned, then first thing tomorrow you go with me to the headquarter. Where I will announce to all the staff. You are now the new CEO of the Khans. my smart daughter is back!” he exclaimed with so much excitement in his voice. He was really happy about my decision and so was I.

The next day, my father and I walked into the conference room, where the entire staff was waiting. My father cleared his throat, and the room fell silent, he ordered for quick assembly of all workers.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, "I am proud to announce that my daughter, Annie Khans, will be taking over as the new CEO of Khans Industries and everything inclusive" he announced as he exchanged hands with me.

The room erupted into applause, and I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. I was ready to take on this new chapter of my life, leaving behind the pains caused by Armstrong and his mother, and I was ready to make my father proud,regaining my new heiress power.

But little did anyone know, I had a secret plan, one that would change everythingI even though it meant going extra miles to get it accomplished. I was going to use my new position as the new CEO of my father's company to gather evidence by doing research, to find out the truth about my child's death, and to make whoever involved pay dearly, that wasn't the end of it. I needed to put all the effort I acquired into making sure I became the most known heiress ever. Then Armstrong would tell me if Annie Khans would come crawling for him or would he come begging?
