Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 430 A Scar

"The kidnapper said that he would get back at you." Smiled Anna while she stared into Nicole’s eyes, enjoying the panic in her eyes that made her face turn pale in no time. "Don’t you find it strange? You have nothing to do with all of this, why would he get back a t you? He kidnapped me, didn’t he? I thought it would be my dad that could be asked for ransom."

Anna's voice was calm, but it was like a knife leaving scars of fear on Nicole’s heart. Finally, Anna laid it bare, "Was it you behind all this? To get someone to kidnap me? You know who the kidnapper really is, don't you?"

"You must be kidding, Anna!" Shrieked Nicole. "How can it be me? Why would I ever do that?"

"Quiet, both of you!" Shouted Daniel, irritated. "Lisa, take Anna back to her room, and she shall be kept there, understand?"

Lisa came and help Anna back to her room, while Nicole was totally trapped in fear. She stood there like she was cursed by Medusa’s stare, shivers went down her spine and that made her look even paler. Bruce would get back at her? How much of this had Anna found out? Why she told nothing about it Daniel if she knew something? And why there was a look of sarcasm and scorn in Anna's eyes if she was just bluffing? Everything Anna said and did this day was like a warning to Nicole that she should start preparing for her funeral.

"To my study, now!”

Daniel’s voice scared the hell out of Nicole, she almost lost her footing and fell down on the ground. She barely moved her feet to follow Daniel, only to find her legs were trembling. Anna looked at her from above, the look of a thief that was caught red-handed on her face made Anna sure that Nicole must have been on some evil misdeed against her recently.

"You know what that woman is really like now, Anna." Sighed Lisa. "Don't be sad about it, you must learn to protect yourself from her now." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Anna sat on the bed and felt quite lost. She could tell the police that Nicole attempted to kidnap her if she had the proof of the intrigue of Bruce and Nicole, but Bruce was nowhere to be found and she had no idea if Liam had a lead on this, she had nothing in her hands at this moment. She knew that maybe Nicole wasn’t really related to the kidnap, but that doesn't mean that Nicole and Bruce were innocent.

Meanwhile, in the study, Daniel sat behind a desk, trying to smoke his worry away. Frowned, he couldn’t stop thinking about the kidnap, about whether Nicole had anything to do with it since Liam’s implication seemed so. Or could it be that there was a connection between Nicole and the kidnapper?

Who Liam was to Anna also confused her, it seemed they took a shine to each other but Liam didn't look so since the way he dealt with trouble was totally absurd and weird. For example, if it really was Liam's child in Anna's belly, he should’ve been with her and protect her instead of sending her back to her family. Daniel knew that there was someone in the restroom when h e was in the hotel room, and probably it was just Liam. He didn't check it out because he was worried that it would be embarrassing, so he just left. Daniel was sure that Liam had fallen in love with Anna, yet he wasn’t sure if Anna was pregnant with Liam’s child.

He turned around, Nicole was standing on the other side of the desk with a cup of warm milk in her hand, trembling.

"Take some milk, Daniel, you had trouble sleeping these days." Stuttered Nicole, wishing that being nice t o Daniel could at least ease him of his suspicion.

It worked, maybe. The look in Daniel’s eyes grew softer, he said, "Lisa will take great care of Anna, so don't worry, you need to take a break, too."

Nicole knew it was asking her to stay away from Anna but was it her or Anna that Daniel really cared about? Or was Daniel doubting her already?

"I'm privileged to be with you, Daniel. My family is not like yours and I had Chloe with me, yet you still accepted me and Chloe.” Smiled Nicole bitterly. "I know nothing about running a company or how to get along with ladies from other rich and influential families, so I did my best to take care of you and our daughters so that you can be focused on your

business. But..."

She stopped, tears were in her eyes.

It hit Daniel on his soft spot. He took Nicole’s hands, patted them gently and said, "Don’t be, Nicole. There's a scar on Anna's heart and it takes time to heal. It’s not that she doesn't like you, probably she doesn't like _ H

me.

"It was you that asked me to marry you, I swear to God I did nothing to Anna!" Sobbed Nicole as tears ran down her cheeks.

"And I trust you, Nicole. I wouldn’t have recovered that fast after Anna’s mom passed away if I hadn’t met you in the hospital.”

"Those days...you were so in love with her. But it's true that we may never even get to know each other if it weren't for that."

Nicole seemed to be cheered by the good old memory a s she stopped sobbing a put on a tender look on her face, but deep in her heart, she was confused. Why did Daniel start recalling the old days?

Something subtle flashed in Daniel’s eyes, he continued, "I loved her so much, yeah. Never will I forget that date she left me, I went to see her in the graveyard every time the day comes. And by the way, you told me that your ex-husband passed away years ago, why didn't you ever go to see him? Where was he buried? We can take Anna with us, he's her father anyway."

Nicole panicked, "Well, he was in..."
