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 89 Part 2“Pearl.”My eyes widen and I couldn’t even look at her in the eyes. It’s nothing to keep from her but I just thought that she might feel guilty after knowing what really happen to me and especially that they triggered my memory that made me hospitalized for days because of that incident. “Are you hiding something from me, Ana?”I sigh, I’ll have to tell her in this state. I don’t want her to doubt me and I know she has the right to know so she should be aware by the people that’s around her is not the way she think they are, and I don’t want her to be blink in this things and will experience what happen to me especially that Chloe will do anything to get her hands in this money that I have, I still don’t know why s
Chapter 90“What are you thinking?” I whispered to Luke.I bite my lips as he look at me and our faces are so close that made feel something. We did it again without realizing and we’re now back at our bedroom and he’s next to me and we’re close to each other partly because the kids are sleeping afraid that they will wake up and the second one is they might fall from bed especially that they’re moving very much when they are asleep.“The kids, their future… our future.” He look at me intently at that. “Can I asked you something? You don’t need to answer if you can’t.” I nodded feeling quite nervous what he’s going to ask. “Why did you not want to change the kids’ surname? Is it because I’m not worthy?”I immediately shake my head and sigh at that. “No.. it&rsquo
Chapter 91 Part 1“Ana, what really are we?”I stiff when he asked me that question and by looking through his eyes I can’t feel but bite my lips as I feel guilty… Luke deserves an answer but I can’t give him one… because something is holding me back and I can’t even tell him what is it because if I do I feel like I’m sabotaging all the years we’ve been finding a way to get the culprit… and it hurts me that it’s his mom, and he doesn't deserve to be one of the people I should be suspicious with because I can see through him that he’s serious and sincere and also we don’t get choose our parents.“Luke… I’m sorry.” I shake my head and he nodded and him giving me sad smile made me close my eyes tight.“Can I asked wh
Chapter 91 Part 2“Is there something wrong?” Luke asked moving to the side of my bed with concern face. “Ana.” I snap back from reality when I felt Luke’s hands to my shoulder and I gulp as I look at him.“I’ll call you back tomorrow.” I said to James on the other line and put my phone down,“Did something happen?” Luke made me sit at the edge of the bed and I bite my lips as I’m lost of what should I tell him… I can’t tell him the truth… and James found an evidence… which means we can make an arrest warrant to Chloe after sending the evidence we gathered to the police.I sigh and play with my hands. I knew something like this would happen… I’m happy about it but I’m disappointed at the same time because Luke and
Chapter 92Early in the morning the people started to come at the house little by little and every time someone arrive I notice that they would look at Luke and give me a questioning Luke and I would just smile at them not giving them an explanation. I think it’s best to tell everyone later and I know that they will be angry about it but it’s already here and Luke said he will help us and I believe him… I can see that he’s sincere and he wouldn’t sabotage us especially that his kids is on the line.Yes, family is important from me too but a family that’s doing something wrong is that I need to address and they wouldn’t listen and would do anything just for their benefit? I would cut them off especially that I believe that every life matter no matter who that person is.“Is Pearl coming?” Mom asked while we’re
Chapter 93 Part 1“I know you hated my mom but that was rude, she just want to get to know you and the kids… she’s slowly accepting us, Ana.”My brow creased as Luke follow me to the parking lot and take the stroller from my hand as we walk to the car. His words pierced though my heart and I can’t fathom why he said that to me right now as he heard our conversation.“What do you mean by that? You heard how she insulted me and saying that a lot of people hate me because of my attitude! She was angry because I didn’t accept her proposal like that because I want to see her business plan and want to look at it and think about it.”He stopped when I stopped walking and look at my face. I felt hurt and I don’t know why he doesn’t understand me. I know it’s his mother but I don’t know
Chapter 93 Part 2 “You understand me right? I hate him right now. He doesn’t understand my point and when I told him he’s now saying sorry. I mean I want him to do that but I also want him to understand my side without me making a point to him. It’s his mother but… yeah, I forgot I’m just the mother of his children.” Early in the morning, we’re all busy in gathering information about the new info that Pearl gave me and we’re investigating when it started and the people involve and the likes but in the middle of that I can’t help but tell Kate about my problems and concerns. “I understand. It’s his mother after all but I also understand you and there’s no way to handle this better than cutting him off.” My eyes widen as he said that but slyly smile after seeing my reaction. “I’m kidding, I was just easing up the mood but the best thing to do is observe him if he re
