Love, lies and, secrets 89. We can be together
ANNA "So how was it? Did she agree?" Alejandro asked, after bringing me to a secluded area at the hospital so we could talk freely. "May I ask what in the world you were thinking when you decided to tell such a life without giving me a heads up first? Did you even think of the consequences of your lies should we ever get caught? Why did you have to drag me into such a situation?" I asked, not hiding the fact that I was pissed. "I thought you would be happy about this especially since I only did it for our good. I mean, Alice doesn't remember anything that happened and her memory loss is definitely to our advantage," he answered. "Are you even listening to yourself right now? You know very well that we are the reason that she is this way and yet you're being so inconsiderate to the point where you suggest that we do something like this even when we've already done more than enough to hurt her. Do you not have a conscience or feel any remorse?" I asked, staring at him with an unimpr
Love, lies and, secrets 90. Back home
ANNA"OMG, Anna! This place is absolutely beautiful. What in the world!" Alice squealed excitedly as soon as she walked into the house. I didn't need anyone to tell me that she was super excited and I found it funny that she reacted this way to a house that was hers without realising it. "Hold on a second Anna, you live here with him and mom and dad let you live here with him even though you two are not married yet?" she asked, turning to look at me with a displeased look on her face. "Don't look at me like that, Alice. Yes, they let me live here cause I'm an adult now and they trust me," I said to her, leading her toward one of the available guest rooms. "Oh my goodness. Who would have ever thought our parents would be so open-minded? I could have sworn that they were even capable of locking us up just to make sure we don't have anything with men until we got married but here you are, living with your fiance. Still can't believe I was asleep for that long and missed absolutely ev
Love, lies and, secrets 91. Big Baby
ANNAIt has been over a week since Alice returned home and ever since her return, she has been nothing but a pain in the ass and a freaking cockblock in my life. She always ends up interrupting me whenever Alejandro and I were together and about to do anything and to make everything much worse, she doesn't stop acting like she's 10 years old. Alice has always been childish from the very beginning but it's as if this accident brought out the child in her because she hasn't stopped frustrating me with an attitude and getting on my damn nerves at every opportunity that she gets. I was already used to have been very childish and acting weirdly by asking random questions and trying to pry into people's life but now she doesn't just go around asking unnecessary questions, she also goes around dancing and singing like she was thrown back into childhood and I honestly don't understand how I can do with this any longer because it's becoming a pain and it's also getting unbearable. I sometim
Love, lies and, secrets 92. Need for a job
ANNA I could understand her need for a job but I definitely could not understand why she also needed a therapist alongside. "You want to see a therapist? What for? Are you okay? Is everything alright with you?" I asked."It's not exactly a serious issue but I just feel like I need to see someone so that I can regularly vent out my emotions and just express how I feel without having to worry about keeping anything to myself. I'm still not very used to the situation that I'm in right now so I feel quite frustrated and afraid and that is why I want to see someone just to let out all these emotions," she explained. I wasn't comfortable with what she just said and it kind of scared me to think that she was feeling this way and also the need to want to see a therapist. I thought that I was doing a good job at taking care of her and making sure she felt safe and content and I had no idea that she was afraid nor did I have any idea what she was afraid of. I couldn't help but wonder if I s
Love, lies and, secrets 93. Mentally Unstable
ANNAFROM UNKNOWN NUMBER: how can you be so wicked? How did you become such an inconsiderate person? If you think no one knows what you're doing and believe that you're going to get away with it, then think again because I'm going to expose you for everything and you're not getting away with such evilThe very second that I saw the message, I instantly knew that the person behind it was the unknown person that had been threatening Alejandro and me earlier. I had thought that he or she had finally decided to manage their business and not get involved in our lives but seeing how they still had the audacity to send a message like this made me panic and I was kind of fidgeting as I continuously read and read the message. It's been over a week now since Alice requested that she wanted to see a therapist but instead of coming up with an excuse that would get her to understand why she couldn't have one, Alejandro decided that we should both go on a trip for three days first and he still ha
Love, lies and, secrets 94. Kelvin knows
ALEJANDRO"So, it is true. I could have sworn on everything that I had that the video I was sent was a mistake but I cannot believe that it's true," a familiar voice said and I'm immediately startled. And I got off my thighs as soon as Kelvin walked in and we both had a shocked look on our faces. The last person I was expecting to see today was Kelvin because he was supposed to be back tomorrow and I did not understand why he was here right now.He kept looking back and forth at Anna and I and I could tell that he was utterly disgusted by us because Kelvin has never really been good at hiding his emotions. It occurred to me that he just mentioned something about seeing a video of Anna and I and that could only mean that the anonymous person that has been threatening my relationship with Anna had sent him a video of both of us together."What’s…""When did you arrive?" I asked, not exactly sure of what else I could have said in such an awkward situation."When did I arrive? Is that a
Love, lies and, secrets 95. Stay away
ALEJANDRO I honestly didn't want to go off at him at first because I knew that the situation was difficult to understand but the fact that he just kept going on and on without even trying to listen to either one of us was getting on my nerves and I was sick and tired of the insults and the questioning. He clicked his tongue and shook his head. "So you think that I'm pained about the fact that you're both together? Do you think that I'm anything like you? I'm not shameless, neither am I petty and inconsiderate, Alejandro," "I don't know what pushed both of you and getting into such a relationship and I have no idea how you foolishly became attracted to each other but you better have it in mind that your relationship is cursed and that you're both very wrong for this," he spat out."I can't even express how disappointed I am in both of you and I am embarrassed to have ever called you my friend, Alejandro. Now, where is Alice and how is she doing? Did she happen to already find out ab
Love, lies and, secrets 96. Pretense
ALICEIt would be an understatement to simply say that I was hurt. I wasn't just hurt and heartbroken, I also felt like my entire life has been a lie because the people that I cared about the most didn't seem to care about me just as much as I cared about them and they were capable of doing something so horrible to me without even showing any sort of remorse. The fact that one of the people that hurt me was my sister and the other my husband made everything even more complicated for me because they were the last people that I would have thought would do something like this to me and I sometimes you can't believe that they're hurting me like this and making me feel like a complete idiot. I've had to pretend like I was okay and act like everything was perfectly fine with me even when my entire world was pitch black and I felt very lost and confused. I didn't plan on pretending to lose my memory initially but when I woke up and saw my parents and Alejandro standing side-by-side, it j

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
