Getting out of the hotel, Anna gets in the cab and make a call
" hello Kiel, it's me,"
Ezekiel(Kiel) was paparazzi who has always followed new about Imelda before and had even gotten into a conflict with Imelda’s bodyguard. They had hit him on the ground and broke his camera.Back the Kiel was just a newcomer in the industry and was taken advantage of by senior.
On watching a young boy like him being ignored by others, and even bullied by his seniors, Anna empathized deeply with him and felt the same way as he did. Hence, she went up and helped him.
However, she did not expect this incident to spark a friendship between them and she became good friends with Kiel
"Hey, hello Anny, (Anastacia nickname by Kiel), It sounded really noisy "What's going on… Where are you?" Anna asked.
"You don't know?" Kiel asked incredulously. "I was just about to ask you about it. Apparently, Director Sam got injured and was sent to the hospital. This incident seems to involve some female celebrity, but until now, nobody knows who it is.
However, somehow I found out from my friend that your sister is currently at the police station, is she involved in this? Hey, tell me, do you know what's going on?"
“Yes, Imelda is indeed involved." Actually, Anna had called him just to let him know about this incident. So upon hearing his question, as she smiled. "
"Sh*t! This is huge news! Anny, you are an amazing friend!" Kiel was extremely happy, beaming with joy that he started jumping about on the spot.
His mind was already racing with ideas and working up a story on the secrets and sleazy happenings.
Anna laughed. "Don't bother with staking out at the hospital already. Director Sam is seriously injured and unconscious. He won't wake up anytime soon. Come and wait at my house, soon there will be a good show for you to watch."
"Don't I have to wait at the police station? Maybe I can even catch Imelda," Kiel said.
"dummy!" Anna said. "she just went to the police station for questioning, but once she isn't charged, she will eventually have to come home, right?”
“You guys can't meet Sam, and all of you know that Imelda is at the police station so everyone will rush to the police station to find her.
You might as well come to my house earlier and reserve yourself a good spot first."
"woooow, Anny, you a sooo brilliant!" Seeing the crowd in front of him, Kiel quietly moved to the back and ran away stealthily.
While walking, he asked, "Anny, is it alright to take advantage of Imelda?”
"How is this considered 'taking advantage'? Do you not know how to watch your words? To think that I was still concerned about you." Anna said rolling her eyes.
"yeeah! Apology my queen,” Kiel slapped his mouth and said, "It was a slip of the tongue."
Ezekiel knew about the strained relationship between Anastacia and her family.
"She even tried to frame me! If I had not run away quickly, I would have become her scapegoat. Anyway I'm not hurting her, I'm just trying to shed light on reality, that's all. So just wait there, soon there will be a big scoop."
"Big scoop or whatnot, it really doesn't matter to me. I can dig out more news by running about a bit more. But you, considering how biased your father is towards Imelda, you should be a little more careful," Kiel advised, worried about his friend wellbeing.
“Kiel, am not that week Anna anymore and won’t let anyone step on me like a rug.” Anna said with determination before hanging up.
The only friend she had in both her life was Ezekiel as even in the past while she was in jail kiel was the one who looked after her mum…
Eventually, when Anna’s had mother died of anger from Imelda, Kiel dared not tell Anna at all. He was afraid that she would not be able to deal with it while in jail.
However, on the day of her release, Kiel was on a work trip and could not go fetch her.
But he immediately came to see her once he was back. When he got to know that he could not hide the news from her any longer but he didn’t found her as she was already held in William compound...
So in this life, she would not have any regrets.

Getting out the cab right in front of William home gate she stood there staring hard at the familiar yet unfamiliar gate.Back then, when she had found out that Imelda was the cause of her mother to die of anger, she had come back here to seek an explanation from her, only to be captured and tortured to her death. That memory was still vivid in her mind.Taking a deep breath, she walked through the gate heading to the main house."miss Anastacia," the gate man called upon seeing her. She proceeded to the house and was welcomed by the rude maid,“Hello miss,” Anna did not respond and glanced towards the living room.Maid was surprise by her action, muttered to herself,” What is wrong with her today?”However, once she recalled Tomas summoned Anna, she pursed her lips.Who did not know about Anna’s awkward position in this household?Anyway, Anna couldn't care less about what the maid thought. Upon e
Watching his wife and daughter care for Anna despite being wronged, the guilt Tomas was feeling immediately dissipated. It was replaced by a stronger surge of anger."Look at how caring your mother and sister are towards you! Yet you still framed and hurt your sister! How could you be so evil!" Tomas roared at Anna and furiously."Dad…" Anna called with trembling voice"Don't call me 'Dad'! I, Tomas do not have such an evil and ruthless daughter!" Tomas said as he waved his hand indignantly as if shooing some dirty animal"What exactly did I do? I barely uttered a word ever since I have entered yet you just hit me? Even if I had angered you, you still have to tell me! What was that slap for?" Anna asked tears rolling down her swollen red cheeks.Helen narrowed her eyes she could tell that this Anna wasn’t the same Anna, but could not get what changedIn the past, Anna would not even let Helen touch her. She would have already pu
In her previous life, whenever Anna was faced with any injustice, she would always say "I am your biological daughter, not her" in a fit of anger. And once she would say that, Tomas would strangely become even more infuriated and treat Imelda much better. As she didn’t know that her word increased Tomas guilt towards Imelda who was also his biological daughter. But now, she would not be as foolish as before. "You still have the cheek to say that!" Tomas pointed at Anna furiously. "mike has treated you so well, yet you chose to throw yourself at George Wolf. Do you really think that something can happen between you and Mr. Wolf? He's just playing with you, that's all. How could you be so despicable!" Lowering her head, Anna smiled sarcastically. “despicable? How ironic, could I be even more despicable than Helen and Imelda. Helen slept with her brother-in- law, and her daughter stole someone’s boyfriend… Hahaha!
In the past, it was not that Tomas was never good to her.Back when she was little, there were still a lot of difficulties in the family and Helen had yet to appear.But things took turn when he got married to Helen stock.now, looking at Tomas she could no longer remember the smile on Tomas’ face back when he was nice to her."Well then, you should at least treat me like a daughter. From the time you divorced Mom and remarried, you only have had eyes for Imelda. You have long forgotten about this daughter of yours. How else do you want me to treat you?" Anna said lazily.Furthermore, you hit me with no explanation so how do you expect me to respect you is that unfair to me?” Anna said as she drops her hand down revealing her swollen cheeks.What a joke!She stopped acting pitiful coz no matter what she does Tomas would always see the bad in her so why bother at least she will feel better by being herself"Go
"She did it, not me. I refuse to take the blame for Imelda," Anna said." Your younger sister is a popular celebrity now, with a bright future ahead. She can't let her reputation be ruined because of something like this. So you must take the blame for your sister.” Tomas said roughly.Anna was just numb, coz all these people in front of her, none of them were her true family.They were relatives, them being related by blood was something that cannot be denied, but they were not her family."So my future being ruined is not important?" Anna asked sarcastically.The guilt Tomas had for Anna vanished when he remembered how Imelda could not be acknowledged as his daughter because of his marriage to grace."You're just an assistant, you don't have much future ahead anyway, if worse comes to worst, you can become Imelda’s assistant even after you are released from jail. Anyway, you won't be jobless. But it's different for Imelda, she h
Tomas look embarrassed… "However, when I was 14, my father became someone else's father and was no longer my father. He stopped caring about me or love me. For Imelda’s enter career, you did not care that I wanted to be a fashion designer instead you made me drop out of school and become Imelda’s assistant.” “Even now you know I didn’t do any of that, yet you still want me to be the scapegoat. Ruining my future is not enough, you must also ruin my entire life?" Anna said tears rolling down her cheeks. She wiped them away, unable to mask her vulnerability. "Imelda has a father, but I don't have one. Since she has harmed someone, let her take responsibility herself, I won't help her take the blame. If she didn't harm anyone, then why is she so scared? After the police have finished investigating, they won't let the actual culprit go. If she was right, and it was me who was the culprit, then let the police come and apprehend me. It's not me who did it, and
Imelda’s face contorted while listening to Anna’s words. What she hated the most was Anna talking about her identity as a step-daughter. She already knew that Tomas was her father. Yet Anna always wanted to remind her that she was just a step-daughter with no relation to Tomas. So Imelda felt like life was unfair as both Anna and her had same status yet she was the one labeled a step daughter and Anna would pierce her heart again and again. Seeing Imelda’s face and knew that she was very angry. She could not say that in front of Tomas as it would always increase his guilt toward Imelda. But as long as Tomas was not around, Anna will say that to purposely stab Imelda’s weak spot. Thus the more Imelda cared about it she would continue saying it to her over and over again. Anna don’t say that, Imelda did nothing wrong,” mike said with a frown "What I have said may not have sounded nice, but I am much better than you. Unlik
Mike knew that Imelda had gone to the see the director. Imelda had also told him that she had taken Anna along with her just in case Sam wanted to do something, she would let Anna do it.Although he trusted Imelda, he was still a man, and hence was warier and narrow-minded when it came to such things.Even though Imelda said that she had not been touched, was it really true?Yet even before the whole incident had happened, he had absolutely no idea that Imelda had gone to find director Sam in his roomHowever today when Imelda came to him saying she had harmed director Sam co he tried to molest her. He didn’t have time to ask since everything had happened so suddenly, and it was such a serious matter that mike had immediately gone to destroy the surveillance cameras' recordings, during that period.He had actually done it himself and had even sent away all the security guards.As he had watched the surveillance tape, he had seen that I
