Maya's POV
It was quite a huge work getting Annabelle to calm down and I couldn't have been more grateful when her people came to take her home cause no matter of cajoling nor appeasing seem to work on her.
I didn't know Annabelle sincerely held me in high esteem till now to the extent of wanting me as a mother. Perhaps that dream of her's would've been achievable if I had met Eden first but unfortunately, I'm stuck with Niklaus and his daughter Isabella till God knows when.
Thankfully Izzy behaved while entertaining Pedro - amidst her punishment - for the rest of the evening till Cecil returned and took him home.
Without bothering to tuck myself in , I collapsed on my bed exhausted.I was so tired that I couldn't even lift a finger, the fatigue was already having its effect on me.
Thanks to Nik I didn't have a good rest last night and would've gotten one during the day if not for the dramas and everything. At lest I didn't have to put any effort and slept off right away.
