Chapter 57 Part 1
Luke’s POV
Ridiculous. Lies. Betrayals. Those three words had happen to me in one night… with years in the making. I can’t believe they deceive me and I almost felt that in my gut but something stopped me from believing that madness, maybe it was love but maybe it was blindness.
It’s been exactly three days since I found out about the truth and now I begin to doubt my feeling. I have loved Pearl since the very beginning, we grew up together and it was natural that we married each other… but being married with her I experience a different kind of happiness I’ve never felt before… even though she was on my side all the time.
It felt great traveling with her, going home after a long day at work and she’s the person that would embrace me, the person I would see th
hapter57 Part 2Ana’s POV“I said I don’t want to go out. I want my solitude back and I want you to leave. This isn’t playtime anymore. I really fucked up and this is not something to take lightly… and I doubt you know that especially now that you keep bothering me.” I think that’s the longest I have ever said this day and that’s because of none other that my sister Yen.“You might not want to but you need to. Look at you, If I were Luke and saw you like that I would really regret being with you.”“What?” I’m now on my feet after she said that… that really hurt and I’m not that bad yet… even though I haven’t slept since and haven’t taken a bath.“You feel shitty bec
Chapter58The silence is evident as the night deepen and I should probably go home but for some reason I can’t bring myself to stand up and leave… because that would only means that I’m leaving Luke here and maybe I won’t get to see or talk to him again… I want to make this moment memorable but also I want to forget it because of the painful moment and the pain that I feel right now.“Do you think it would have been better if the two of us we’re the one who got married?” My heart jump as that question suddenly popped up… I couldn’t answer and just look at Luke… I know it was just his curiously but I think it’s rude for him to ask that.“Everything that had happen was meant to happen. It wouldn’t make a difference, Luke.” I don’t want to ans
Chapter59 Part 1 TW: Sexual Assault We’re all silent now that I have said that I’ll leave… Ann is satisfied. Pearl is shock and I don’t know about Luke.“We should go.” Lauren said and I nodded, we both stood up but dad followed us to the front door that made us stop. He looks at me and I nodded, leaving them alone and when I turn back to the living room Pearl is on her way to me. While I notice Evan and Yen went to the car already.I gulp as I walk towards her too. Ann is just talking to Chloe but her eyes are onto Lauren and dad.“You’re really leaving?”“That’s what you all want… what we all need.”“I’m so sor
Chapter59 Part 2Luke’s POVThere’s no new of her leaving… and I’m sure she would tell her sister if she did leave already.. and I know my curiously will only be the death of me if I won’t find the answer soon.I’ve been working on my marriage each day even though it’s hard… every time I look at Pearl all I see is Ana and all the happy memories we have shared, and it’s not the same as it was as my trust has already tainted by both of them, and I should both hate them for betraying me… but some unknown reason I can’t bring myself to do so. Pearl was my friend… she has been always there for me since we were kids… and as for Ana… I loved her even though it was hard for me to admit that I fell for someone else other than my wife… I knew now why I
Chapter60“Luke.” I whisper as our kiss deepen. He looks at me but he just shake his head and cope my face and kiss me more that made me hold his arms tightly, and feel every kiss that he gives me… his kiss is a bittersweet feeling, I know we’re committing a sin towards my sister and we should stop now to prevent more damage but my body won’t listen to my mind and crave his body even more.He kiss my lips and look at my eyes with passion, I wanted to close my eyes and feel every kiss but at the same time I want to look at him while we kiss. His kiss deepens even more and his kisses travel to my make that made me close my eyes and hold his arms tightly and bite my lips to prevent my moan from coming out.“I missed you… I missed us.” When he said that I lost it, we stare at each other that I
Chapter61Pearl’s POVI close my eyes tight as I walk out… I can’t believe they did that behind my back. I know I was also at fault when I asked Ana to be me in the past but this is different. They really betrayed me and after agreeing to leave this is the first thing that they’ll do?I doubted mom when she said that Ana is jealous of me and only wanted my life for herself… I was angry when she said that because Ana had been through a lot and I know she’s a different person that me… she wants different things and we don’t align with each other… and I was so caught up with some things that I didn’t even notice what had happen… I don’t think I will ever recover from this… it’s my sister, she’s the person I was looking up to. I was so proud
Chapter62“You okay?” I snap back into reality when my make up artist ask me a question. I didn’t even notice that I was spacing out… again. This had happen often now after all that had happen for the past days. It’s just so draining that I don’t even know what’s the point of it all. I just want this to stop and move on even if that means I’ll be moving on and forgetting about Luke when I leave. “You have been spacing out.” She’s trying to fish something but of course I’m not dumb to spill the tea… I know when people work in this area, they gossip and I don’t want to be the gossip because of my carelessness.“It’s because of the nervous. It’s been a while since my last runway.”She nodded and before I knew it I’m done with the make up and
Chapter63 Part 1I hate packing, I should have packed when it wasn’t almost time to go but I understand me too… packing feels sentimental to me, I want to deny to myself that I’m really leaving. I’ve been here since I can last remember and I might have stayed for months abroad if needed but this is where I go home to, what I can home… and now suddenly it’s not and it’s bitter feeling especially that Kate was right, they made the decision themselves for the sake of Pearl and Luke and they didn’t think about me and how I would feel.“Ma’am, you have a visitor.” I was done with my packing and getting sentimental on my room when a maid suddenly knock on my door. I didn’t know who is that visitor and my maid didn’t tell who it was so it was a big shock to me when I got down stairs with
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
