Chapter 102
I can’t help but smile upon looking at Luke having fun with the kids. We’re at the playground after we fetch them from school… the same playground they were kidnapped, near our house. It still hurt thinking about those happenings but slowly we’re building memories here to buried those bad memories.
“Mommy, can’t we stay a little longer?” Sapphire asked me and I raised my brows at Luke and he shrugged his shoulders.
I smile at Sapphire and shake my head. “I’m sorry, baby. Let’s come back here another time, we have to eat our dinner and it’s getting dark.”
Both pouted with my response and ran to Luke for help but Luke carried them and whispered something to them as we walk our way to the car and we arrive home not even long after.
“Mom!&rdqu
Chapter 103“You sure about this? We can back out if you want. There’s no need for this actually. People can be so mean and we shouldn’t care about what they think of us… because what’s important is that we’re happy together.”I’m pacing as I said those words to Luke. We’re already at the back stage of the interview that we’re having right now and I’m actually the one who’s nervous because Luke seems to be calm and just looking at me with a smile on his face.“this isn’t funny, Luke.”He chuckle and stood up from his seat and made me sit on the couch. “Calm down. Yes we don’t need people’s validation but you said we need to do this for our kids to be safe and not be bullied… so let’s just go through this
Chapter 104Luke’s POVIt’s killing me that three months has passed and I haven’t yet proposed to Ana. I’ve been waiting for that time to come and I want to be married at her and prove her how much I love her. I know I’ve been saying those words to her everyday but there’s something about being married that makes it different because after all that’s where we started and I wanted to make it come true.“You sure about this?”“What do you mean by that? Of course I’m sure. I fucking love her and nothing is going to change my mind.”James laugh at my response and pat me at the back. “You’re so hot headed. I’m just making sure that you’re not backing out especially that Ana can be hard to handle.” I gave him a glre. Why does he ca
Chapter 105I don’t know what’s the difference. They say married life is really different and you can’t go out anymore because you have to be cautious because you have now a partner to think about and if you have kids you’ll have to make sure that they’re well taken care of before you go for a night out but actually I don’t see a difference… maybe because I’ve always experience those and Luke and I already know each other because we experience living together… maybe the only difference is that we have the papers to prove that we’re married and nothing can tear us apart now because of that paper and if someone tries to I’m just going to tear that person apart.“When will we get tired of each other?” I chuckle as I asked that question to Luke. We got home from our honeymoon a week ago but
Chapter 1Anastasia’s POVThere’s a quote that has been stuck in my mind for a while now by Stephanie Garber, it’s “Every person has the power to change their fate if they are brave enough to fight for what they desire more than anything.” And I’ve been thinking for days now, about how I would change my fate… my fate to be his wife.But that won’t easily happen simply because I’m not his fiancée and the girl he’s bound to marry is my… twin sister, Pearl.“Are you just going to stay here? Your sister must have been devastated not to see you on her wedding day.”I smirk and shake my head as I refill my glass of liquor. “I don’t deserve to be there. How can I face my sister and pretend that I’m happy for her when I want her husband for myself?” When the realization hit me I sadly smiled and wiped a tear that fell.“You’re just saying that because you’re so weak that you can’t even go because of your parents.” That made me look at her angrily, that’s not true. My parents and I don’t have
Chapter 2I’m pacing back and forth as I dialed Pearl’s phone number. She’s not answering and I’m getting nervous as minutes pass by.“Hello.” I close my eyes as I massage my temple.“Pearl.” I try to stay calm even though I feel the opposite of calm. She didn’t say anything. “What is this? Are you trying to drive me insane? How can you do this to me?” I can’t contain it anymore.“Ana, I know you’re angry but please I need your help. I don’t think I can live a life like this. So I made a choice and I’m hoping you could help me with this.”“But you didn’t tell me that when you called me earlier, the least you could do was tell me. I have a life too, Pearl, and I’m sure you’re aware of that.”“I know and I’m sorry but don’t you want this too? You can finally be close to our parents. Don’t you want that? I know you want to feel their warmth too.”I close my eyes tight, Pearl always talk a lot about our parents being unfair to me just because of that one incident and I feel sad about it t
Chapter 3“What happen?” They just shrugged and continue drinking.I pouted and look at Luke who’s pretty wasted. “P-Pearl?” he looks at me with his hopeful eyes but every time he calls me that name I feel like crying but I have to get use to it.“Hmm?” I smile as I hold his cheeks. How did I resist him for the past few days? I feel sad looking at him right now. “Why?”“Don’t you love me?” He asked while he looks at me straight in the eye. “In our wedding day, in our first night, I saw the look in your eye and it’s all I can think about. Sadness, is all I can think of when I remember it and it made me think if you really love me.”It break my heart seeing him like this. Luke has always been strong and nothing bother him but now something did and it will never be me… because in his heart it’s always my sister who he loves.“Of course I love you… I have always love you Luke.” I bit my lips as he sadly smile.“Then, are you mad at me? I can’t think of anything that’s making you don’t wan
Chapter 4I woke up late as I always do but I noticed that Luke isn’t laying by my side. It made me nervous for some reason that made me get up from bed without anything on except his white polo that was laying on the floor.I hurriedly got down from the stairs but when I arrived downstairs and saw Luke’s topless back, I stopped and flashed a smile. He looks so hot, and did I mention that he’s cooking breakfast? Well, he is and he looks so hot while doing so.“Hey, you, I didn't notice you were there.” Luke said when he faces me, he looks at me from head to toe and I notice that he gulps and wet his lips while I approach him.“You’re up early.” I said but he didn’t reply and still looked at me. “Why? Is there something in my face?” My heart started racing the more he looked at me, did he notice the difference between me and Pearl?“I just can’t believe that you’re my wife.” He said and cupped my face and kissed me deeply.“What was that all about?” I chuckle as he lets go after the ki
Chapter 5 “What is happening, right now? You’re in a relationship with another man?” I love my sister but I can’t stand cheating especially that I know that Luke really loves her. She can’t just do this to him after he committed his life to her. “No, he’s just a friend.” She said but I know she’s lying, she’s biting her nails again, saying that she’s anxious of what’s happening right now. “What are you doing here?” She change the topic. “Didn’t you know that this is where your honeymoon is? Luke is waiting for me in the sun lounger and you’re here. What if he’ll see you? What are you planning to do?” I have so many questions to ask her but I know this won’t be enough. Standing and talking with her right now is dangerous. “Did you see mom already?” She asked nervously and when I shook my head she sigh in relief. “She’s very meticulous, I’m sure you’re aware of that. Please, don’t make her doubt, Ana… because we’re screwed if she found out.” I nodded even though I’m a little irrita

Chapter 101 Part 2Luke’s POVHow did we ran into each other? Why does she has to see me in this state? I feel ashamed and I want to hide and seeing her face made me have the urge to go to her and hug her tight and not think of the consequence later on but I just can’t help but ran away because I’m a coward.I knew that when I left, I knew that I don’t want to see her as she will remind me of pain… and at the same time I will remind her for the pain that my mother had caused her and I don’t want to hurt her anymore… I already done enough but when I ran away from him I can’t help but look back and when she was crying on the streets I suddenly want to come back to her but I stopped myself before I could do so... because I’m still not ready.How funny bec
Chapter 101 Part 1Eating, laughing and bonding. That’s what we’re doing right now after winning the trial but I know I definitely saw him and he was looking at us and I didn’t see his reaction because of the people but I know it’s Luke… don’t know why I’m acting like this but maybe because I miss him… six months and he showed up, is he happy for me? When will he return? Is he going to come back though?A lot of thought came to my mind but I snap back from reality when I notice the twins hugs me from my legs. I smiled to both of them before squatting down.“Are you guys happy?” I whispered and both nodded as they kiss both of my cheeks.I bite my lips as I feel their embrace. Looking at them and hugging them reminds me of him… that always happen and today I’ll more emotional
Chapter 100“I’m sorry. I was so stuborn yesterday. I didn’t realize that someone might be nosy enough to take a picture of us.”“It’s already done, there’s nothing we can do about it.”He’s driving us home as our picnic has just finished and I was a little shock that he knows about the article, I’m thinking he was silent about it as he doesn’t want to ruin the picnic and the same goes for me.The kids are playing with their toys at the back seat and singing nursery rhymes while we’re talking seriously at the front seat.“But still… as you said, it might affect the trial.” He looks guilty and I can’t help but raise a brow at him.“I thought you don’t care about the trial anymore? You said that it does
Chapter 99 Part 2“Ana is officially back!”They cheered that made me laugh. We’re at the bar after the success of our photo shoot. I got to meet my former model friends in the shoot as it was a big project and now after a week of work we’ve finally wrapped up and as a celebration we went here to party and I kind of admit that I miss partying. I mean I could still party if I want to but things have change and I had other priority like the kids, and actually I am kind of wondering how they are doing but Yen and mom are home taking care of them so I feel at ease… especially that there will be no threat that Chloe is in prison.“Stop it.” We’re all laughing as we’re having our drinks and at first I thought we were tired but I guess we still have the energy as we’re dancing at the dance floor feeling the vibe of t
Chapter 99 Part 1“You were so brave.” Mom hugged me tightly and kiss my forehead, she’s teary-eyed while I try myself not to get emotional as we hugged each other. “Don’t worry too much, the end is near. I can feel it.” Mom whisper after breaking our hug and I just smile at her in response.“We’re getting good feedback after the press conference and they are really believing us because of the evidence that you hand out to the reporters.”After arriving home I was shock that they prepared something everyone is here. Mom, Yen, Dad, Evan, Ann, Pearl, James, and of course Kate. Everyone is here… yet something feels so empty… someone is missing in my heart and I may be facing a victory right now but it doesn’t feel like it especially that he’s not here to celebrate with us… because I thin
