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 97. Smile
ALICE"Alice," I heard Anna call out my name and I had to quickly switch my facial expressions and continue to pretend to be happy and unaware. 'What are you doing out here sweetie? Why are you outside?" she questioned with a worried look on her face and I mentally rolled my eyes at how fake she was. "Don't you think you should stay indoors instead of staying outside by this time of the night? Or were you perhaps looking for me?" she asked. Anyone that saw the look on her face right now would think that she was a genuinely kind person that cared about me but little did they know that she was behind every miserable thing that was happening in my life right now and she was the most selfish and ungrateful human being that I've ever met in my entire life."I wasn't looking for you out here silly. If I wanted to see you I would have gone straight to your room. I only came out here because I wanted to gaze at the stars and enjoy the lovely evening," I clarified to her with a fake smile p
Love, lies and, secrets 98. Her friend
ALICEI was already too deep in my plan for revenge and there was no turning back for me at this point. I intended on going all out with everything until I made sure that I did everything that needed to be done and I had no intention of leaving them alone until I was satisfied. It kind of hurts me that things had to come to this because I would have never imagined that I would ever be in a situation where I would be plotting against my own family but seeing how they've hurt me continuously without any remorse, I no longer feel guilty about doing the same thing to them because they deserved it. "How are you feeling?" my friend Allison asked. Allison Gentry and I have been friends since back in college and she was a psychologist. I met up with her a week after I was discharged from the hospital because I felt like I needed to speak to someone and ever since I met with her, I have been getting help from her. I explained the entire situation to her about how my husband and my sister
Love, lies and, secrets 99. Her plan
ALICE "You already set up a way to deal with Anna but how do you plan on doing with Alejandro? You still haven't spoken about how you intend to pay him back and I'm curious to know what you want to do," Allyson said and I smiled. "Well, Alejandro forgot that I know absolutely everything about him and I'm fully aware that he has issues with his family and that his stepbrother wants to take everything from him. Dealing with him is easy because all I have to do is support his enemy and get everything taken away from him and that would be my way of paying him back in his own coin," I responded. It took me a while to think of what to do with Alejandro but then I recalled that he was very intimidated by the fact that he suddenly had a stepbrother somewhere and he was also afraid of losing a part of the properties to his brother. I intended to support his brother and get him to lose everything and I would also have something to gain at the end of everything. "I just want you to put in mi
Love, lies and, secrets 100. Anger
ALICEI hate them so much. I hate them with every fibre of my being and I'm going to make sure that I do everything possible to hurt them and make them pay for humiliating me and making me feel incompetent. I was currently watching Anna and Alejandro make out and I clenched my fist in anger as the feeling of betrayal and deceit suddenly overwhelmed me and made me feel like a fool. I'm pretty sure that they think that they can get away with all of this because judging by the looks on their face, they feel like they've done everything to make sure that I won't ever get my memory back so that they can be together but what they do know is that I'm going to destroy them in ways that they won't even expect and I'm also going to make sure that for every tear I shed, they shed more tears very soon. I walked away from the scene and decided to head to my bedroom so that we wouldn't notice the look on my face because I don't think that I can hide my anger for too long. What makes the situati

ALICE TO KELVIN: I can never know unless I try so don't you think that I should at least make an attempt instead of assuming it's never going to work?FROM KELVIN: What about your parents Alice? Are you going to finally tell them what is going on? Do you intend to keep doing everything on your own without them knowing what's happening?When I saw him ask that question, I paused for a while because I had a lot to think about. As much as I didn't like the fact that I was lying to my parents, I knew that I had to do this without their knowledge because they were not going to support my plans to take revenge and I didn't want them to emotionally blackmail me into forgiving Anna.TO KELVIN: I have no intentions of telling them anything because I don't want them to try to get me to forgive anyone. I can't and I won't forgive. FROM KELVIN: Hold on a second, let me call you. As soon as I read the text, his call came in and I picked it up without hesitation. "I don't know if it's appropri

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

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
