Chapter 12 I close my eyes tight as I sit on the edge of the bed. I cover my mouth using my hand and look at Luke before rushing towards the bathroom and throw up to the sink. I sigh and remember my conversation with Pearl. “We don’t have a choice but proceed with your pregnancy. We’ll have to pretend to be each other and do our work. You can tell me what I would do and I’ll guide you to handle the resort too.” “I’m sorry I caused this.” I said and I can’t even look at Pearl but she was cool about it and gave me a smile. She shook her head and hug me, “No. I’m sorry I asked you this. And congratulations. You’re having a baby.” I came back to reality when I notice that the bathroom door open and Luke was peaking at me. I gulp as he step a foot inside and walk towards me… He look at me hesitant before opening his mouth to talk… “A-are you pregnant?” I smile and nodded, I didn’t really know how to say that to him but I’m glad he found out, it’s hard keeping it a secret especially
Chapter 13 I slide my hands to Luke’s hands as we’re having our morning walks. He raise his brows as he looks at me and I just look away and pretend this is nothing. It’s our third day here in his rest house and he always make sure I get my daily walks and sunrise. He’s really sweet and I don’t know what will happen if he’ll be back to work. I kind of feel lonely already but since I have work too I’m getting by with his business. I look around and gather all my courage to do this thing without being caught, I’m scared that if Luke will find out about this, he will doubt if I’m am really his wife. “Is this all you need miss?” “Yes, thank you.” Luke is back to work again and I’m alone in his rest house and I have been thinking for days to start painting again so here I am putting the things I bought to the garden… cabin, since no one will come here, and of course I ask the maids to clean it up. “This feel so good.” I smile as I let my imagination and hand do the work. I smile as I
Chapter 14 Part 1They say that when someone you love becomes a memory that memory becomes a treasure. I hate it… simply because I didn’t know you will only become a memory now.I...I feel dizzy. Did I eat something wrong? I was fine this morning but suddenly I’m feeling under the weather. My heart is racing like I’m in a marathon and every step I take becomes shaky and blurry… Is there something wrong with me?“Miss!”I heard muffled voices and steps coming to me. I clench my teeth and try to open my eyes but it feels so heavy and I feel so weak. “Miss! Stay put, we’re here.”Huh? What is happening right now? I wanted to ask but I can’t hear my voice nor open my mouth to speak. I notice something is gushing down to my thighs that made
Chapter 14 Part 2“Ana.”My brow creased as I open my eyes, did I just heard someone said my name? Wait… where am I? It took me a while before looking around in the surroundings and that’s when I realize I’m in the hospital, and the memories of yesterday came running back into me.My heart start beating faster as I try to move my fingers and when I look at it that’s when I felt that someone was holding it. My heart skipped a beat as I saw who it was… It’s Luke holding onto my hand like it’s my precious life… but when he felt that I moved my finger he looks at me with a shocked expression… wait, was he the one to call me by my name? That can’t be happening right? Maybe I was just hallucinating… yeah, maybe I am because if he found out my identity he would have been angry at me and he
Chapter 15“Thank you so much.” I said again and again while still on the floor crying my eyes out.“Love.” Luke called me and even though I can see the tears in his eyes he manage to give me a smile. “Everything will be okay now.” He said and hugged me tight.It took as a while before we stop crying and hugging each other to the side of the NICU before managing to pull ourselves together.We look at the big window in the NICU to see our baby again before leaving the floor. I wanted to stay so bad as I want to be there, I just feel lonely leaving her again but we need to eat, change and I have to take my medicines, what happen earlier made me eager to heal more so I would be there and be strong for our baby. I know Luke has been putting up so much pressure in him and I feel sorry for him,
Chapter 16Part 1I hate this… I love the color black but I hate wearing it when someone of the family died… it brings back the memory of what happen at my grand parent’s funeral that up until this day I still remember how Luke was there to comfort me but it was also a sad moment after that… because that was the day I doubted of who I really wasI was sitting on the living room when mom and dad arrive, Pearl is in the kitchen getting water and I can’t help but notice that mom looked pissed and she stop when she get closer to me and she throw her handbag at the table that made me jump because of the sound it created. “I-is something wrong?” It’s dumb for me to ask that but I have to. I don’t feel like watching
Chapter 16Part 2 TW: Suicide Luke’s POV“Welcome back, Sir.”I just nodded to the employees when they greeted me. I can’t say it’s good to be back because I really wanted to stay at home and take care of my wife instead of working… but the responsibilities got me and I’ll just think of this as a way to let her have her own space.She needs to be alone as she always requested and even though it hurt to see her in that state, I need to let her mourn… I’m also mourning but what made me heartbroken is seeing my wife being like that.“Sir, you have a visitor.” I just sat in my chair when secretary said to the intercom. “It&rsqu
Chapter 17Part 1Ana’s POV“I love you.” I lost it when Luke said that. I just felt like he’s saying goodbye. I shook my head and cry my eyes out as he chuckle while bandaging his palm that got slash by the knife earlier.“I’m so sorry.” I said again and again while I watch him.“Don’t worry to much. It was just a small cut, it didn’t go deep, but Love.” he looks at me seriously. “don’t do something like that again, or else I’m going to lose it. We already lost our daughter, I can’t lose you two. We only have each other remember? And you’re going to leave me too? We promise to be together in sickness and in health and all the problems and the stru
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 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 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 102I 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 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
