Chapter 82
“Mom… are you sure you don’t want to come home with us?”
Luke and I are now set to go home and I kind of feel nervous especially that I found out that mom won’t be coming home with us. I thought it would be easy to not interact with Luke that they’re with us but now that they won’t be coming I kind of want to back out.
“Yes. I know you will be fine, honey, you have to. We’ll be back with your sister when we’re done doing our work back at the capital. Call me when you need me, okay? I’ll be right there immediately.” I nodded and we hugged each other tight and she kissed my forehead before going to the twins and kissed them and spoke with Luke for a while before they went inside the car. Yen waved while smirking at me and I can’t he
Chapter 83I was left dumbfounded when Luke left and I’m now all alone. I pity myself and I stare at the floor and I didn’t know what to do because I was just so ashamed of myself.I was spacing out when my phone suddenly receives a call, I bit my lips before answering it. “where are you? Evan and I are here.”“Huh?”She just told me she was going to visit but I didn’t expect her to do it immediately… I was so relieved for some reason that my tears began to fall. “Kate.” I gulp when I heard my own voice.“What happen? Are you okay? Where are you?” She’s now panicking as I started to cry really hard.“I-I’m at the mall.”It didn’t took
Chapter 84“I’ll carry that.” I give him the bag and he help me put the kids to the stroller. I didn’t say anything and stay silent as he pay for our bills and the medicine. It’s good that he provide even though I can sustain them even in emergency.I still haven’t gave up the thought of him leaving us and being with Pearl because that is how suppose to be it. He can sustain the kids and come and visit but it’s not right for him to stay with us… especially that he’s showing me that he wants to be together… yes, I think that he’s being sweet and he wants to be together, I don’t want to assume but I can feel it in his actions.We’re now going home as the kids are now fever free and I don’t know if he will leave after he would drive us home and I don’t want
Chapter 85“Everything alright?”I forgot that dad was at the house, I don’t know if he heard my outburst but he looks concern and I can’t help but feel embarrassed.“Yes, dad.” I smile at him and went to the kids. Luke later on came inside and both talk and I just listen to their business talk until dad said that he will be leaving. It saddens me that he will leave so quickly but also relieved because I’m not in my right state of mind to take care of a visitor especially that it’s dad.“I’ll see you again soon. I promise to visit. It’s nice to see you again, Kiddo.” Dad hugged me tight and kiss my forehead and I wave him goodbye while looking at his car driving away.Days passed by and Luke and I are casual with each other. We take
Chapter 86 Part 1 The kids were asleep when we were done packing, we plan on moving tonight, the early the better as I’m a little concern that Luke might come back really soon and I don’t want him to catch us moving, because when where is Luke, the other will follows.In the middle of the night, that’s when we left and I even though I know it will be a long ride I didn’t sleep… or I couldn’t even though the kids are asleep I keep looking at the road that we’re taking, I know I’ve been to the capital once and we were hiding back then too but I didn’t realize how much the road change, but what didn’t chance is the people are still awake… going to bars, restaurant and the likes.“You okay?” Mom asked when she notice that I was being sentimental.“So many things had change, everything feels familiar and foreign at the same time, and that scares me, I’m scared that I won’t be able to adapt.”Mom pouted when I gave her a look. She smile at me and hold my hands tight. “Ana, there’s no point
Chapter 86 Part 2“I can’t believe we pulled it off. I was shaking and I was scared when I saw them on the crowd but it was fun seeing Chloe stutter when speaking to me after seeing the painting that I put on auction.”Even the media was in chaos with the painting in the museum as the people concluded that something bad had happen to be for the past years that I was away and they even interview me about that but I stayed quit… because it’s not the right time to tell them about what happen… there will come a day that I will need their help including their sympathy.“Look at the crowd, trying to find where you are.” I smile at Kate when she said that. We’re still at the part of the museum that can’t be seen by people because we’re upstairs and it has glass that they can’t see us.I actually intend this because as much as I want attention I also want to see how people act when I’m not around, and that apply most especially to Chloe.“Let them… I’m going to make them starve for my appeara
Chapter 87My heart start to beat fast and it trigger my memory that it hurt my head. I was breathing so fast and my adrenaline is on the rush that I didn’t even realize that I save myself from that… my hands were working on it’s own and I drive harshly just to save myself from getting hit by the moving truck in the slope. I was scared but I was brave. I close my eyes tight as I successful pulled over and I cry and cry and feel the pain all over my head… and my heart.I was feeling the pain in my head and wiping my own tears when I heard a very familiar voice calling over my name.“Ana!”I raised my head and for a moment I felt my world stop, at first I thought that I was just hallucinating and just stare at his face demanding me to open my door but later on I
Chapter 88“I’m home.”I pouted the moment Luke arrive home, he kissed the kids and put his things on the kitchen table and went to me, here we go again. We looked at each other and he kissed me on the cheeks that made me stiff.It’s been a month that’s been like this but I can’t seem to be get used to it. After he told me what his conversation was with Pearl on the garden made me so shock but I try not to show it, and because he wants the kids to realize that he is their father, he requested that we act like what normal families do, and I was hesitant to it but later on abide to his request.And when I told him about my story, the accident and all I can’t hint any things that point out that he knows something about it, that’s why I agree to his request. We’re still inve
Chapter 89 Part 1“Ana.” Pearl smiles at me as I approach her slowly.I bite my lips and stop myself from crying but the moment I got closer to her tears began to fall and we hugged each other tightly as we cry.“I missed you.” I whisper, we didn’t broke our hug until we stopped crying. When we broke the hug and look at each other I can’t help but feel ashamed of myself right now.“I’m sorry.” She said and I look down on my feet as I don’t know what to say to her. “I’m sorry for everything that I did to you and for what I said to you. I know you don’t deserve that, especially from your twin sister, I was just caught up with my feelings and all the manipulation from mom. I forgot about how you would feel. I felt betrayed when I saw you with Luke an
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
