Chapter: EpilogueANNIKA POVWho would have thought that all the ordeals Lucas and I encountered in the journey we could overcome by moving to another country?“Mom, hurry up!” Luke got my attention as I looked after them from my instance. “We must take some pictures before the increasing snowfall destroys snowmen,” he continued.My lips parted to give them a genuine smile. It almost reached my ear. My parched and cracked lips became painful due to the freezing weather in the country. The season is winter.“Yeah, I'm coming.”“Be careful, Wifey! You might fall. It's slippery!” Lucas yelled, who was there with Iris and Luke.“Instead of worrying, why don't you come here and lend me a hand? It's dangerous, right?” “You need help?”I rolled my eyes heavenwards. Does that even require to be asked? He could see that I was struggling to step closer to them. Why are the snowmen they made so far from o

Chapter: Last Chapter The next day, I decided to visit Uncle Elias in the prison. His sentence is life imprisonment, and there is no chance of parole, but for me, that's not enough. He deserved more agonizing and severe punishment for him after knowing what he had done to Annika. He never did anything reasonable in his life anyway.“Why did you do that?!” I yelled as soon as I saw him approaching. If I could have broken his bones at this moment, I would have done it. “What's done is done, Lucas,” he answered calmly. To my ears, it sounded like he was proud. Sitting before me, I hit my hands on the table. If there were no police guard in the area, I would have already broken his neck and killed him. “There's no benefit in any regrets—”“How many more innocent girls have you robbed of a chance to live a normal life? Aren't you ashamed of what you did? You are disgusting! Most of them are minors! Didn't your body even tremble after you did that horrible thing to t

Chapter: Chapter 172LUCAS POV I was heartbroken, and my heart seemed to break into a million pieces as I scrutinized the anguish reflected on my wife's face. I clenched my fist while I couldn't help but tighten my jaw. I was devastated as I assumed we would have no more challenging situations. But look at this: I was dumbfounded to find out that there is more. Heart-wrenching is the best way to describe my feelings towards my wife, not pity. At this moment, I really want to punch Uncle Elias face until it bleeds and see wounded pain so I can get revenge on my wife's behalf. If I can do that now, I will undoubtedly do it without regret.“Don't do anything dangerous that you will wish undone later, Lucas. Let's just let it go. That will also give us precedence over other information about us within the country. I'm embarrassed to ask you this, but I don't wish everything to get major problem of our family.”I didn't make a reply, but at the back of my mind, I wi

Chapter: Chapter 171In two weeks of our honeymoon, Lucas and I made the most of it. We truly made the most of every moment, indulging in delicious food and intimate moments, taking some rest, and occasionally, taking a dip in the seawater to restore our bodies for long endurance. We are sole, so having intimate moments was not that tough. By reason of that, on the day that we had got to leave the place and return to reality where our two children were waiting. We didn't have anything to regret. Coming to have a vacation in this place is worthwhile and also priceless, to be accurate. It is worth the price: money, ambiance, and precious time with my husband.“Tell me honestly, Wifey, did you enjoy our two-week vacation? Or was it not enough?”I nodded in response. We are packing our things now, putting them back in the traveling bag. Tomorrow, we have an early dawn flight.”Do you want to have an extension period?”“No, this is already enough.”

Chapter: Chapter 170So proud of myself. I gave back a cheerful and broadened smile at Lucas for his every word of acclaim. Am I mistaken in my response? I am different from other women because I have him. Why did he respond like that? Does he have a twin without me knowing? It might be as cliche as it may sound, but for me, he was the only Lucas Romanov in the world. “Am I incorrect?” I asked him and was almost about to crack up at his surprising and unimaginable reaction. “I have you, Lucas, which made me unable to be typical of another woman. Is it difficult to figure out?”“Yes, sure. You are right, Annika. I'm only only.” Lucas replied, slightly ripping off my cheeks. Despite the fact that the beginning of our love story was not significant in most people's eyes, I can only say one thing. We both felt love that was pure, even though it transpired at the wrong time with the wicked reasons behind it. Lucas and I were wounded in our cores and separated for quite a while. It taught us countless life le

Chapter: Chapter 169Seizing for air, my eyes darted away while turning red. I'd instead stare out the car window to cover up my face. Lucas surely knows a lot of gibberish things. He kept getting on my nerves even though it was not his intention. As I spoke, my heart pounded with pressure. I felt Lucas motion to my side, probably to continue what he was doing, but I ignored him. My eyes remained outside as if he was not with me. Unhurriedly, I bit my lower lip to reduce the uncertainty that I felt. My body reacted and heated up at Lucas actions. If anyone else saw that, they might think he was out of his mind and a maniac. Lucas cannot close his pointed tongue and does not know the boundaries about speaking such things. I mentally roll my eyes. He cracked up so hard when he saw my response to what he spoke out. He was very pleased with the unexpected retort he got from me. Consistently, I ignored him. I didn't dare to look him in the eye as I learned my whole being was bewildered.“Don't worry, Annika.

Chapter: Chapter 11: Lost MemoryI continue my strides and went straight to her kitchen. I felt thirsty. Add to that, the throbbing pain in my head went back. I heard her followed me. This is one of her traits too that I hate the most. She won't stop nagging until I tell her the truth and explain everything she expected. "Let me drink some water first." "Hmmn, with your chaotic and unkind appearance, something must took place? Tell me, what is it?" I set the glass down on the counter after draining the contents to the last drop. My face is now troubled when I face her. "Was I too drunk last night, Hailey?" She frowned while staring at me. "Believe me, Girl, I can't remember anything besides drinking alone while you were at the dancefloor." I freaked out as if doing that my friend would understand everything. Hailey covered her mouth as if she already guessing what happened. "What do you mean? Where did you sleep then? Don't tell me that—" "Where is my bag?" She pointed out my bag on the sofa. She still

Chapter: Chapter 10: Cathy's Body ReactionI parted my lips as I watched his body go back to bed. Did he believe he was just having a dream? Most likely, he is sleepy and exhausted. I just stood there staring at that exposed part of his body for a few seconds without saying anything. When I realized I was still taken aback by his appearance, I shook my head and averted my gaze from him. Did he fall back asleep immediately after asking about my identity? Unbelievable! Thinking back on what happened between us caused me to swallow hard as my throat became dry. How did I get here?Was I really allowing him to use my body like that? Really? For free?I am not that type of person when I am drunk! Having sex with complete strangers? "It is driving me insane!" My words come out of confusion and disbelief. After a while, I heard him snore, which finally snapped me back to reality. I rubbed my forehead in disbelief. This is the worst thing that could have happened in my life! "Are you going to just stare in shock? Now, Cathy, do

Chapter: Chapter 9: The MistakeWaking up with a throbbing headache was the worst aftermath of my night out at the club. It was undoubtedly a hangover. I had indulged in alcohol to the point of blacking out, unable to recall anything that happened that night. Thankfully, I don't need to worry as I have a loyal best friend, Hailey, who always takes care of me. The perks of having a genuine friend.Feeling thirsty, I tried to push aside the heavy drowsiness and ignored my parched throat."I'll get up later," I promised myself.I wrapped myself in the warm blanket, avoiding the effort of getting up to get a drink so my sleep wouldn't get cut. Upon doing that, I realized the room was cold when the air conditioner hit my skin. It made me shiver and tugged myself even more under the blanket. By continue doing this, the cold lessened. Did I leave the window open last night? I remember not being able to sleep in the cold place. I only use the air conditioner during summer, as it makes me sick and catch a cold easily if I

Chapter: Chapter 8: Cold, Blank StareI stared at her for a few minutes. I wanted to say a lot to her but I chose to remain silent. Yes, I'm a bit hurt by her words, but still, I stopped myself from taking her words seriously and also had a fight with her. She's a bit drunk now."Hailey, just go and do your thing. I don't have any complaints. Do you understand?"Hailey murmured something, but I didn't pay attention to it. My eyes were too busy scanning the whole area to divert my irritation. I am hoping to meet and see some familiar faces who are also having fun at the bar. The music is still loud. I feel like I just want to request that it be turned off now, but I know I can't do that. One of the factors is why I can't quite understand what Hailey's telling me. Add to that the loud shouting of the people all around us as they dance and grind along with the music, which makes her voice almost disappear from my hearing. They are obviously enjoying themselves right now. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't enjoy the moment.

Chapter: Chapter 7: Silly GirlAfter Hailey examined the surroundings thoroughly with her eyes, she proceeded to take a seat next to me. Her entire body was moving in time to the pounding rhythm of the loud tune. Even though she was sitting, she subtly lifted one of her hands and moved her body as if she were dancing in order to seduce some of the men who were nearby. I couldn't help but jerk my head.This girl is completely nuts, as she approaches this situation with a free mentality. It was apparent that she really wanted to forget about her problems, even for a bit.What a silly girl.She started ordering drinks from the bartender, who seemed to have recently seen women with faces like ours. A woman who comes to the bar without a man with her tonight for the first time. The way he looked at us was very creepy.Take notice of this: we weren't disclosing too much skin and about the clothes that we were wearing, we are perfectly wrapped. But the way that he peered at us, everyone would have thought that we didn't ev

Chapter: Chapter 6: Joseph, The Boyfriend It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and the place was already full of customers. How did I say that? Just in the parking lot, we already had a hard time finding a place for Hailey's car. Unlike before, this time there are not many parking options where we always park. They were all occupied."What's up today? Why does it look like there are so many people in here?" Out of the blue, I raised a question as I was curious about what was happening now while removing the seatbelt attached to my body.Hailey shrugged her shoulders while her eyes were still fixed in front of us to find a parking lot. She's still busy looking for a parking space; her forehead is wrinkled as she scrutinizes the area."I am not sure about other reasons besides it being the weekend, Cathy."The bar that Hailey and I went to was VIP. This one is our favorite. Most of those who come here are famous people who have a say in society. It is a hangout for those in the showbiz industry, such as actors and models. I
