last update Last Updated: 2025-04-28 16:17:23

~ ANNIKA ~

After the awkward encounter, I chose to pretend it never happened. Fortunately, Angelo's business trip would keep him away for a week, giving me a much-needed break from his overbearing presence.

I knew he'd resume his annoying habit of following me around like a shadow upon his return.

The highlight of this week was Jonathan's homecoming. I had been counting down the days until his return, and I couldn't wait to spend time with him. As we prepared for our date, Jonathan asked,

"Where would you like to go?" His smile was infectious, and his eyes crinkled at the corners as he gazed at me. I couldn't help but be drawn to him.

I've always admired Jonathan's good looks, and the way he cares for my kids only adds to his charm. Sometimes, I catch myself imagining what a romantic relationship with him would be like, but I try not to get too caught up in those thoughts.

For now, I'm content with the friendship we share, and I'm excited to see where this date takes us.

I thought I must have misheard him, that this was some cruel joke.But Angelo's expression was unyielding, his eyes cold and detached. I felt like I was staring into the eyes of a stranger."I've made up my mind to end this marriage," Angelo said, his voice dripping with malice.My eyes blazed with anger as I sat up straight, shocked. "You're willing to discard our four-year marriage like it means nothing?”"It means nothing to me," Angelo said, his eyes filled with hate. "I'm done with you, Annika." I felt a wave of sickness rush over me as I tried to understand what he was saying. Our marriage, our lives together, and our love were all ripped away in an instant. The marks he left on me during sex remained fresh. I could still feel the heat from the intercourse in my p

As the hours ticked by, exhaustion took over, and I fell asleep.However, I woke up feeling refreshed and determined, with a clear plan of action. I was resolute in confronting Angelo about his sudden decision to end our marriage.The thought of divorce was unbearable, and I demanded answers. Why had he made this drastic choice without any warning signs or hints?I also grappled with the dilemma of whether to reveal my pregnancy, wondering if it might change his mind and save our relationship.With newfound determination and self-respect, I prepared myself for the challenge ahead. I chose a long black gown with a bold slit at the back, paired with the red heels my father gifted me on my 26th birthday.I felt empowered, confident, and ready to face whatever lay ahead.

    ~ANNIKA~I tried to return my dad's call, but it went straight to voicemail. I listened to the message, and my heart skipped a beat at his urgent tone."Annika, where are you? Come home, it's urgent!" he said.I quickly got dressed and prepared to leave. Pa James was nowhere to be found, but Jessica handed me a credit card."Use this as needed," she instructed.Without leaving a note or message, I asked the driver to get ready, and we sped away from the mansion. The driver sensed my haste and didn't ask questions.We soon arrived at dads house, as I stepped out of the car, a wave of nostalgia washed over me. The small playground on the corner reminded me of my childhood days.I remembered my brother Jesse and I playing together, with our mother's loving presence. But the present reality hit me hard, my mother's absence and my brother's distance.I hadn't visited home in a while, but the memory of my dad and I arguing about my marriage to Angelo still lingered.

    ~ANNIKA~My mind was racing with questions and worries. Why did Angelo suddenly want a DNA test? I felt anxious, wondering why he didn't reach out to me directly instead of through his lover.I didn't want to go at first, but I was desperate to convince Angelo that I was carrying his child. Maybe, just maybe, I could win him back.I got dressed in a simple outfit and prepared to leave. It was just past 4, and I was feeling tense. I left my dad resting in his room, not wanting to answer his questions right now.I took a cab and gave the driver the address. As we approached the destination, I asked the driver to pull over farther away so I could walk and clear my head.As the taxi drove away, a white Chevrolet SS pulled up in front of me. I was hesitant to look, but then I heard my name.I peeked through the windshield and saw Melissa, her expression mocking. She was chewing gum carelessly, sizing me up."Don't tell me you walked all the way here?" she asked, her tone drip

    ~ANNIKA~I slowly opened my eyes, wincing at the bright light on the ceiling that seemed to pierce through my eyeballs.As my gaze wandered around the room, I realized I wasn't in my own bed. The white ceiling and unfamiliar surroundings sent a wave of panic through me. Where was I?The beeping sounds of machines and the antiseptic smell of the room hit me like a ton of bricks. It seems like I was in a hospital.But how did I get here? Memories of the previous day's events came flooding back, had I been captured by Lissa who was trying to hurt my child?I jerked upright, my heart racing with fear.Please, let my baby be okay. Please, don't let them have caught me. I sent up a silent prayer, my hands instinctively cradling my stomach.As I tried to sit up further, a deep pain shot through my lower abdomen, making me gasp. My head began to pound in tandem with the machines beeping around me. The murmur around me ceased, and an unsettling silence fell.A chill ran down my spine a

    ~ANNIKA~As I slowly got out of bed, I noticed a slight improvement in my condition, although the ache from the previous day still lingered.I attributed this slight boost to the deep sleep I had just woken up from.A yawn escaped my lips as I turned to face the room, and my eyes widened in surprise to see the same man still sitting beside me.He was the one who had rescued me from those thugs and brought me to the hospital.I couldn't help but wonder why he was still here, watching over me with an air of quiet concern.Didn't he have somewhere else to be, something more important to attend to?His presence seemed almost... vigilante-like.Why was he so invested in my well-being?"Good morning, hope you had a great rest?" He approached me with a calm and curious tone, his eyes noticing my wincing expression on the bed."Yes, I did, thanks to the sedative the doctor gave," I replied, my voice still laced with a hint of pain."Are you still here?" I asked, raising an

Angelo's infidelity, the divorce, the loss of our four-year marriage, it all seemed like a never-ending nightmare.And now, my only solace, my unborn child, was in jeopardy. The thought of losing this tiny life, this beacon of hope, was unbearable. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of misfortune, with no lifeline in sight.In desperation, I turned to a higher power, pleading for intervention. "God, please help me get out of this mess," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the din of my own despair. I felt lost and alone, with no clear path forward, but I couldn't help but hope that somehow, someway, things would turn around.My voice trembled as I asked, "What? How did this happen?" The words felt like they were coming from someone else, not me.Fear gripped my heart, squeezing it tig

He placed his hand under my jaw and turned my face towards him. "I like you, Annika. I hope you know that," he said before he forcefully kissed me on the lips. He wasall over me and I couldn't escape from his embrace.I tried to resist by turning my head, but he pulled it back toward him, roughly and shoved his tongue inside my mouth, effectively muffling my protests. I tried to kick and hit him, but all my efforts were in vain, for he was far too strong. He picked me up as if I weighed nothing and carried me to a table. I was too dazed to know where we were. Murmuring some words to me, he sat me down on it."Stop," I begged. "I don't want t

    ~ ANNIKA ~To distract myself from Angelo's presence, I attempted to mingle with some of the workers, but it wasn't easy. With Astrid absent, I felt like a fish out of water, sipping my drink and trying not to appear awkward among unfamiliar faces. Social gatherings had never been my thing, and the piercing stares from strangers only made me more uncomfortable.Things took a turn for the worse when everyone stood up to exchange pleasantries. To avoid getting dragged into conversations I didn't want to have, I found myself drinking more wine than I should. It became my shield, a way to feign busyness and avoid small talk. By the time I'd met around twenty shareholders and been bombarded by overexcited fans of my work, I was exhausted. The constant smiling had taken its toll on my cheeks, and the polite appreciation for comments on my dress felt like a chore. After downing my sixth drink, I knew I'd had enough, it was time to leave.I stumbled out of the room and towards the restroom,

    ~ ANNIKA ~"Angelo?" I frowned, stepping out of my house to prevent him from peering inside. With the door closed behind me, I folded my arms across my chest and narrowed my eyes at him, demanding, "What brings you here?" Instead of taking offense, he offered me the bouquet in his hand, tilting his head slightly to the side as a hint of a smile played on his lips. I glared at the flowers, the silence between us growing thick and heavy, punctuated only by the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze.The sweet fragrance of the flowers did nothing to temper my emotions as I fixed him with a hard stare. "Why don't you take it?" he asked again, taking a step closer before freezing when my scowl deepened. "What are you doing here? How did you find out where I live?" I had taken pains to keep my address private, asking Jonathan to secure a building far from the company, one that would be difficult to trace. Yet, it seemed Angelo had managed to uncover my secret with alarming ease."Finding

    ~ANNIKA~"This wasn't part of the plan, Jonathan," I spoke into the receiver, my annoyance filtering through. "Not only did you let me work alone in the company while you took care of your pressing needs, but you're telling me I need to represent you in the meet and greet?" "I'm sorry, Annika," he apologized, his tone regretful. "I didn't know things would turn out this way, I swear." "Can't you take care of it after the meeting? It's not like your investors will die if you delay it for a day or two?" I plopped down on the couch in the living room, crossed my legs, and gazed over at my babies, who were engrossed in playing with their Legos. "I don't think it can wait, Annika." "But-” I tried to speak."Are you worried about the kids? Someone will be there in an hour to help you look after them while you're away." "You know that's not what I'm worried about, Jonathan. I don't want to freaking attend the meet and greet!" I was almost yelling now, my frustration boiling over.

    ~ ANNIKA ~ The lunch outing was awkward, to say the least. Despite my explicit warning, Angelo tagged along, causing a chain reaction of clumsiness in Astrid. Her nervousness was palpable as she accidentally knocked over everything, sending dishes and utensils crashing to the floor."I'm sorry," she apologized repeatedly, her gaze fixed on the mess as the waiter rushed to clean up the spill. Her embarrassment was evident in her tone and body language.Just as the situation seemed dire, Angelo intervened, dropping a wad of cash on the table as he stood up. "It's okay, I'll cover the damages," he said, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to Astrid's distress. "Let's move to the other table; it's vacant, and we can start fresh." His suggestion was a welcome respite, and Astrid's gratitude was evident in her relieved expression."I'm no longer hungry," I said, pushing back my chair. I turned to Astrid, who was shrinking into herself, and gestured for her to follow me. "Let's go."

    ~ ANNIKA ~The moment I stepped into the office, myjaw almost dropped to the floor at the Beauty. It was enough to take my mind off that damned bastard and his slutty girlfriend.The first thing I noticed was the large, richbrown mahogany desk, perfectly polished to a warm sheen. The desk was paired with a comfortable, high-backed leather chair upholstered in a complementary earthy tone.To one side of the room was a plush couch, its cushions a soft, creamy white. They positioned the couch to take advantage of the stunning view through the wall-to-ceiling window, which stretched from floor to top and allowed natural light to flood the space.From there, I could see those walking below, something I was grateful for since it overlooked the car park.Throughout the room, vibrant green plants added a pop of colour and freshness, their pots a decorative complement to the peach hue of the wall.I could tell, undoubtedly, that the decorator put this all in the room. It was so breath

    ~ ANNIKA ~As I drove out of the school car park, I put my phone on speaker and waited for Jonathan to answer. When he picked up, his cheerful voice filled the car, a welcome respite from the tension I'd just experienced with Angelo. "Hello, darling. Did you miss me?" Jonathan's warm tone was a reminder that not all men were like Angelo, some were genuinely kind and caring. Every interaction with Angelo left me wondering how I could have been so blind to his true nature when we were together, pouring my heart out to him. Jonathan's voice was a soothing balm, reassuring me that there were still good guys out there, ones who treated me with love and respect.I must have been oblivious to Angelo's true nature while we were together. The thought still stung. Lost in my reverie, I was snapped back to reality when Jonathan said my name. "Annika, are you okay? Why aren't you saying anything?" I focused on the road ahead, trying to keep my emotions in check. "I want to leave," I said,
