Chapter 16 Part 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 17Part 2Ana’s POVI put my phone and key in the table as I enter the Morgan Manor. I exhale the smell of the flowers and the filling sound of the wind. It’s good to be back here after being away for long.There’s no one here but me as the caretaker is at their home and would only come here in the morning to turn of the light and the night to turn it back on and clean and the cycle continues.I cover my eyes using my arm as I put my whole body at ease. I lock the doors and I feel asleep not even long after I lay down on my bed. It’s still the same as it was, nothing change, and it just feels like when I was living here together with my grandparents.**I’m was having my breakf
Chapter 18Ana’s POVOuch, my head hurts. That’s the first thing I felt when I woke up from my deep sleep. I hold my head and massage my temple while still lying in bed but my eyes grew wider as I saw a man’s back sleeping beside me.I immediately look at my body to see if there were traces of last night but my clothes change into a comfy pajama and all I can see is his bare back.What the fuck? Did I slept with someone without even realizing it? And where the hell is Kate and Evan there were suppose to be the one who will save me in times like this.“You awake now.”My mouth open as I realize who it was. “Ezra! When did you got here?”He chuckle and patted my head. &ld
Chapter 19“Are you going to be okay?” Ezra asked while we followed Luke and Pearl inside the conference room.I gave him a deadly stare and pinch his arms. “Of course, why would be I?” I smirk but really my heart is going crazy and I don’t know what I’m feeling right now.I’m happy to see him again after a while but it breaks my heart that he seems cold to me and that Pearl got close to him, I can see the genuine happiness in hear and that scared me even though I should be happy for her, as all her life all she wanted was either freedom or marrying the man she truly love.“If you say so.” He smirk before pulling a chair for me before sitting down when Luke sat down together with Pearl.When we were all seated, I was so shock that Luke called my name. I haven’t heard him said that after so long… “We have a special visitor with us today, Ms. Morgan, and I know you already know her.”I smile at them and bow my head a little. Ezra and my side chuckle and put his arm on my chair’s arm r
Chapter20 Part 1“I’m happy for you, Ana.”“Thank you.”“I thought you stopped painting and modelling because for the past months you’ve been in active in the industry.” I bit my lips as Luke said that.“I wanted to be missed. People will be more interested and most likely to buy my painting that way, as they are waiting for me to come back, and also I was busy with my business. I have a lot to take care of but I suddenly got inspired in painting so here I am. And painting for me isn’t really work that I should be doing… I want to want to paint not the other way around.”They all nodded to what I said and I smile feeling proud of myself but that smile later on disappear when I saw the media become interested to a particular p
Chapter20 Part 2Ana’s POVI’m nervous and nauseous. My head is spinning and I can’t see my way anymore. I keep bumping into people and I notice some of them are holding my body and when they do I just stare at them angrily and if only I were sober I would’ve punch them in the face but I’m not in the right state to do that right now so I walk away trying to find my way to the bathroom.“Fuck.” I whisper as successfully enter the bathroom. I vomit a couple of time and I wash my face for me to wake up. “I shouldn’t have gotten drunk.” If it wasn’t because of Luke I would have not drink this much but since I need the courage, I’m now suffering from my actions.I fix myself
Chapter21Pearl’s POV“I said stop calling me! I have my own life now and I love my husband.” I put the phone down angrily. I hate that he won’t listen to me even after how many attempts of forgetting him… actually he’s also the reason why I wanted to escape this life aside from the freedom that I’ve always wanted.He’s the past that I badly want to forget and buried and stay at the past where he belongs but he’s consistent to be part of my present and future.It’s making me sick… he’s a man that I should’ve stay away from but it was already done and I can’t change anything from the past so I’m going to erase him for good that he can’t enter in the present.I wanted to
Chapter22I pout as I sit on my chair, this feels really new to me. The beach is my view while I’m working here at Pearl’s office. This is actually my first time to work here and I can’t help but be distracted to the beach watching me and calling me. I suddenly want to swim but when I look at the table there’s a hundred papers stacking each other that for me to sign and that’s making me sigh.“Is there something wrong miss?” I look at Pearl’s secretary. I smile and shake my head.“It’s so many… can I really finish this today?” I asked doubtful to myself. I want to see Luke as soon as possible even though we only parted an hour ago I badly want to see him. It’s been a while since I get to be with him but here I am in front of work
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
