Love, lies and, secrets 18. Are you gay?
ALEJANDRO"Why exactly would you feel like I don't like your sister? Did I ever say anything that could have possibly made you feel that way?" I asked calmly. She sighed, adjusting herself on the bed. "I really can't explain why I feel this way, Alejandro. I mean, I know that you were previously trying to communicate with her and she was probably not reciprocating your actions but I explained to you that Anna can be a little unfriendly to people that she's not very familiar with and the fact that you suddenly stopped talking to her and that you no longer even try to engage in any kind of conversation with her is bothering me and I can't help but feel like you guys are having some kind of disagreement that I am not aware of," she explained and I sighed.I couldn't deny the fact that Alice could be very observant whenever she set her mind to it and the fact that she had noticed that Anna and I were not speaking to each other and that it seemed as though we were having some sort of disa

ANNA"I think it will be best for you to just keep your mouth shut and not say anything like that ever again," I said and Theodore stared at me in confusion. "Am I wrong?" he asked and I rolled my eyes at how nervous he looked. "I mean, of course, you're wrong! Why in the world would you even think I'm lesbian? Like, besides the fact that I've always told you that I wasn't interested in a relationship with you I don't think I've given you any other reason to think that I'm lesbian so, why would you even think that?" I replied. "Do you mean what you just said or are you just trying to play games with me? Are you assuring me that you're not actually into women?" he asked again."I have absolutely no reason to want to play games with you, Theo. Like I just said, I'm not into women so your theory is very wrong," I assured. "Besides, what made you even think I was into women in the first place? How in the world did you come to that conclusion?" I asked. "Well, I know I'll probably soun

ANNA "Thanks so much for today," I told Theo as he walked me to the front of the door. "I should be the one thanking you so even agreeing to put me into consideration," he replied and I sighed. "I already told you...," I was saying but he cut me off. "I already know what it is you want to tell me Anna but I would rather believe that you would not be giving me any sort of negative response because that is what I want from you, I hope that I get a positive reply and I hope that you can consider my request and see how it could be a good idea. I just want you to have it in mind that I am always here and I'll be waiting for an answer from you and I hope that it comes very soon," he said to me with a beaming smile on his face and I didn't know what else to say besides letting out a frustrated sigh. I was honestly feeling really bad for him because I just did not want to hurt his feelings and I was currently going through so much in my head to the point where I don't think that I could

ANNAI was already feeling sick and tired of repeatedly telling myself that what I was doing was wrong so I just made up my mind to go with the flow and I kissed Alejandro as passionately as he kissed me. Sometimes, I find it very annoying and also very weird that Alejandro and I could be arguing one minute and the very next minute we are busy making out like our lives depend on it. The fact that his effect on me was so strong to the point where I would always lose control whenever I was around him, made me very annoyed but seeing as I could not do anything about it, I simply made up my mind to just go along with the flow and enjoy it. I let out a low moan when he nipped on the skin on my neck, trailed wet kisses from my neck downwards and while doing this, he unbuttoned the shirt of my loosely buttoned pajamas."Do you like it when I do this to you?" he asked in a low voice, still trailing kisses from my neck to my shoulder and biting on my skin softly."Hmm," I moaned, nodding my

ANNAMy eyes grew wide open in shock and I gave her a confused look to seem like I was completely surprised to hear her asking him for her husband. I didn't want to seem suspicious by seeming normal and unsurprised by how sudden her question was, although, I doubt that she would guess that her husband was in my room and that we just had sex barely five minutes ago. "Alejandro? What happened to him? Did he go somewhere?" I asked innocently. She sighed. "I don't know if something happened to him and i honestly don't think so but, I woke up earlier and I noticed that he wasn't in the room which I find very weird. I already tried checking everything in the house to find him but he's nowhere to be found. I apologize for disrupting your sleep like this Anna. I probably shouldn't have come to ask you since you were the first person to sleep amongst us anyways so forgive me for coming to disturb you for no reason at all and you can get back to sleep now. I'll just go look for him elsewhere,

ANNA"Oh my goodness Anna, you look absolutely lovely in this dress," Alice squealed with a look of excitement in her eyes. "Thanks, sis," I replied with a small smile, loving how the mini cocktail dress looked on me. Kelvin had called last minute to tell us it was a cocktail party and thankfully, Alice, Alejandro and myself were at the mall shopping so we were able to choose the right dresses even though I could have sworn that I was the only one who needed a new dress and Alice, had more than enough cocktail dresses that she has probably never worn before. I mentioned this to her but according to her theory and her excuse, dresses had their season and she wouldn't want to wear a dress that was so last season at such a public event. "You don't look too bad yourself sis. You're looking radiant," I told her honestly and I meant it. Alice and I looked alike but only a little bit. When it came to our body types, we were opposites. Whilst Alice was the slimmer one with the small waist,

ANNA"I'm really glad that you two are progressing in your relationship, friendship or whatever you want to call it but, what about the other guy that I happened to meet that day? Theo, I'm thinking that was his name but I'm not sure if my memory is correct but anyway, how about how things are going to work out with him?" Alejandro suddenly asked, immediately getting my attention. The last thing I was expecting from him was going to mention Theodore all of a sudden and I could not help but wonder what exactly was thinking by doing that. "Yes, I just remembered very clearly that I'm not wrong and his name is Theo," he added and I mentally rolled my eyes. I've never actually met somebody who behaved so foolishly and childishly for absolutely no reason and I couldn't help but be irritated and shocked by the fact that he was suddenly behaving this way. As soon as Alejandro mentioned Theodore's name, Kelvin didn't waste any more time before turning to look at me and judging by the loo

ANNA"I'd like to thank you so much for the evening Kelvin, it was lovely and I had so much fun," I said to Kelvin as he walked me to the front door."You really shouldn't be thanking me and I should be the one thanking you instead. I appreciate the fact that you even took out of your time to go out with me and I'm grateful to you for making my evening even more amazing," he replied and I smiled a little. I had condemned Kelvin in my head because I assumed that he was nothing but an arrogant bastard that thought that money could get him whatever he wanted and since I didn't like such people, I didn't expect much from him and I didn't think that this evening would go well at all but to my surprise, the evening went better than expected and it turns out that Kelvin isn't so bad after all.I admit he did have his flaws here and there but since I wasn't any better than he was, I had to appreciate him and I ended up finding him very funny and very easy to talk to and now, I understood why

Love, lies and, secrets Epilogue
TWO YEARS LATERALICEI have never for once imagined getting married to Kelvin before being in a relationship with him. He has always been my friend, someone who I cherished and was grateful to have by my side. Kelvin is that friend that came to my rescue when I didn’t expect him to. After Anna died, I took Fiona as my own and began to nurture her.She looked just like my sister. Those eyes of hers were like eyes and each time I looked into her eyes, I am reminded of Anna. I have completely forgiven Anna in my heart and I will be raising Fiona as if she is my own.Fiona is indeed mine because a child or my sister is mine too. Today is my wedding day. Funny right? Yes, it is my wedding day. Something I never expected and I’m getting married to Kelvin. I did not hope to find love in anyone after my last situation and I decided to focus on myself and raise Fiona in the best possible way ever but then Kelvin happened.How it happened, I do not know but I found myself thinking of him and
Love, lies and, secrets 131. The end is just the beginning
ALICE "I am so sorry Alice. It's all my fault," my mother cried and I had to pull her back from the hug."It's none of your fault, mother. You did nothing," I told her, wiping the tears in her eyes but she shook her head."It's my fault. I caused all of this. I should have been a better mother. I should have seen the signs and known when things were wrong. I was just being stupid letting them fool me and allowing them to act like some married couple and hurting you more than ever. I'm so sorry Alice," she spoke at length with tears in her eyes and her voice croaky.“It’s not your fault, mother. If we all begin to take blame, then we all have our faults according to Anna. The truth is, maybe this was meant to do from the start. Maybe I should have never gotten married to Al. Maybe I should have never fallen for him but then I did and that’s it. It’s all fine.”I let out a small sigh. “It was difficult for my mother. Maybe I took the punishment too seriously…”I said that in regards to
Love, lies and, secrets 130. A new start
ALICE I used to hear a saying all the time that sometimes when something feels like the end, it can sometimes just be the beginning of a new start for you and all you need to do is just be ready to embrace whatever is coming to hit you. After the emotional roller coaster that I have to go through and after reaching my goal of getting back at Anna and Alejandro for everything that they did to me, I couldn't help but feel kind of empty on the inside but I was trying my best to remain hopeful and positive because I felt like I still had a lot of things that I could end up doing. Anna ended up in a psychiatric hospital where she is being looked after and as for Alejandro, I was successfully able to divorce him and since he didn't sign a prenup with me, I was compensated with half of his properties and I still had the company in my name because I refuse to give it back to him.Alejandro has been trying to get across to me for a really long time now but I refused to grant me any sort of
Love, lies and, secrets 129. Defensive
ALICE "As for you Alejandro, you are a sick and disgusting bastard not just for lying to me but for putting me in this condition and without considering the fact that I'm here because of you, you did so many horrible things that even led you to losing so much. You are a disgusting piece of shit and I hope you rot in hell," she hissed at him, with an upset look on her face. She grabbed the nearest chair in front of her and threw it toward Alejandro and the way she was acting was so creepy and crazy at the same time. I was honestly quite amused that I was successfully able to drive her crazy and make her seem crazy but I kind of felt bad for her that she was this way when she had so much potential but anytime I remember everything that she did to me, I end up being happy about my actions and laughing at her for finding herself in this situation. "I'm going to advise you to remember the condition that you're in and get a hold of yourself because I'm definitely not in the mood to deal
Love, lies and, secrets 128. It’s mine
ALICE"I honestly don't care about whatever it is that you just said right now because as far as I'm concerned, this company is mine and there is nothing that you can say or do to take it away from me no matter how hard you try," he said in a stern and confident manner and I laughed. "Are you trying to prove to yourself that you're not a good listener or what? What other proof do you need to realise that this is no longer yours anymore because it's now in my name and the official document says it all?" I retorted, finding his confidence quite amusing. I had every intention of playing with his emotions and making him feel frustrated for every time that he made me feel less of myself and for making me feel like I wasn't good enough because of his habit of being unfaithful. Alejandro glanced at Freya. "How could you have done something like this to me even after I trusted you so much? So your only objective for approaching me was to just set up a trap for me and watch me fall into it?
Love, lies and, secrets 127. Fishy
ALEJANDROThe minute I heard Anderson mention something about what I did to Alice, I couldn't help but question if he already knew about the situation that was between Alice, Anna and myself and I couldn't help but also question what he knew and how he found out. I was starting to wonder if the relationship between Anna and I wasn't as discreet as I told you I was because even Freya mentioned something earlier and it kind of bothered me. "It is exactly what I just said and you can freely take it however you want to," he answered."The both of you hurt Alice and you expect her to want to see you both happy? Why would she? And you think the papers are forged? Do you not recognize your own signature again or you need someone to confirm that you indeed signed those papers?" he asked."You need to be more direct with whatever you're trying to say because I don't understand what you're trying to say," I demanded. I couldn't understand what he was going on concerning Alice not being happy
Love, lies and, secrets 126. The truth hurts
ANNAThe fact that Alejandro just stood there and kept listening to all the nonsense that this stupid girl was saying to me without defending me or telling her to shut her damn mouth up was very upsetting to me and I found it very disrespectful that he didn't even have the balls to just stop this. The only thing that I could think of was that he probably told her everything that happened between us because absolutely nobody knows the whole story and judging by the way she's talking, it seemed as though she knows quite a lot and Alejandro telling her everything was definitely the only way she could have known all this. I hated him for saying things about us to a total stranger that didn't even understand the basis of our relationship and I also hated her for having the audacity to say all this nonsense to my face when she doesn't even know the whole story or understand my relationship with Alejandro. "You have absolutely no right to talk to me however you please I'm going to have to
Love, lies and, secrets 125. Caught
ALEJANDROI had no intention of going to work today but I got a call from my secretary that a woman was waiting for me and I asked for her description only for the description to match Freya's. I was confused as to why she would show up in my office without informing me first because it's unusual for her to just go there without telling me and I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted by going there.Since I already told Anna that I was going to spend the day at home, I had to quickly lie to her that something came up and I had an important job to finish up so that she wouldn't find it weird that I suddenly had to leave the house. Thankfully, she didn’t ask what it was that I was going to do and I was able to leave without getting questioned unnecessarily.I called Freya on my way to the office because I needed to know why she went there with her telling me first but she simply told me to show up first and I would talk when I arrived.When I arrived at the office, I saw her standing
Love, lies and, secrets 124. It’s about to go down
ANNAFROM ALEJANDRO: Come to my office. I want to see you. I have something to discuss with you in person. I was really surprised to see this text message from Alejandro because he just left the house not too long ago and I didn't understand why he couldn't tell me what he needed to tell me while he was around. He also knows that I've been trying to avoid coming to his office because of my pregnancy. I don't want people to ask me questions on who the father of my baby is and he and I agreed that I wasn't going to show up at the office until I gave birth. I tiredly made the decision to get changed, take a bath and head to the office even though I haven't a clue why I needed to go there. I didn't feel the need to take a driver so I drove myself to his office while thinking of what he could possibly want to say to me and why he made emphasis on my presence being important. I arrived shortly and got out of the car. I made my way to the company building and thankfully, I was allowed i
