“Charlie and I weren’t such a great couple like you thought.”“What do you mean?” “He was a cheating bastard… he put his hands on me when he’s annoyed and even… he rapes me sometimes.”“What? And you put up with that?! For how long?” “It’s been four years now. You know how much I love him. Whenever he apologized and started acting like he’s repented, I couldn’t help going back to him. I hate myself for that too but… I’m weak against him, Mika!” She started crying again. Anamika pulled her friend into a tight hug. “Shhh… it’s ok. I’m not judging you, I promise. But I’m upset that you’ve been hiding this from me for so long. Do you still consider me your friend? Do you?!” Emma broke the hug and nodded. “Yes, yes I do! You’re my family. You’ve been going through a lot for the past five years. So, how can I bother you with my problems?” Anamika sighed. “True, I’ve been going through a lot. But recently, my problems have subsided. That is why you should have told me and that bastard w
“... He’ll say something like, ‘You gave birth to another man’s children but won’t give your husband his own children.’ You see, he’s a petty and jealous person. He wouldn’t like to hear the name Asher for any reason because of the paranoia he’d be in, thinking you’d end the marriage one day and go with Asher because you have kids for him. You mustn’t tell him you’re tired and cannot fulfil his bedroom right. He’d feel Asher is servicing your engine behind his back. His insecurities won’t be something you can laugh over at all. It’d drain you so much that you’ll be physically and mentally exhausted. “Have you also thought of what might happen after you give birth to his kids, Henry would neglect Aiden and Nadia. The beginning of a broken home. The list goes on.”Anamika sighed. “True. I haven’t had time to think deeply into it. But, why are we suddenly talking about me? This is your night. We’re supposed to be talking about you and solving your problems.” “Yours are more interesting
Anamika chuckled, “She died of drowning. I’m sure Asher was responsible.”“Without a doubt. After all, he’s Lord Ash…Wait, have you confirmed from him?” “Yes. He said he once saved Lord Ash and ever since, he had been on good terms with him, which was why he used Lord Ash’s name.” “Ahh, that makes a lot of sense. I can’t imagine Lord Ash getting bullied in the Walkers’ Mansion. Hahaha, it’s weird as fuck.”“I thought so too. Now, the Walkers’ family has lost their company, and Cullen is hiding from Assassins. What a grave mistake they made.” “They deserved it. That reminds me, our company… I mean My ex-company couldn’t get a share from the Walkers group. Did you manage to get any?”“Not a thing. I’m bothered, Emma.” Anamika said with a sullen expression. “Anonymous, right?” Anamika nodded. “I can’t seem to understand what they want. Report just came to me that they tumbled the greatest company in Country Z and bought all their shares in low amounts, then monopolized the entire co
Cora smiled. “It’s ok. I forgive you.” “But, is grandma awake now? I want to see her.” Aiden continued to pester them. “N–““Yes. Cora, take them there today.” Anamika beat Cora to it. Nadia is an understanding child. But as for Aiden, he doesn’t care about others if something is bothering him. Since he is being bothered with the thought of seeing his grandmother, it is better to let him see the reality for himself. It’s cruel to shatter children’s fantasies, but when the matter is something that bothers their peace of mind, then it’s best to make them understand earlier on. So was Anamika’s principles of raising her kids. Emma looked at Anamika’s side profile for a long time before she continued eating. Is this a good decision? She doubted it.“Ok, sis.” Cora replied with glee. She was very sure that her mother would accept the kids.While Aiden was excited, the same couldn’t be said about Nadia who was looking at her mother. She saw a flicker of pain in her mother’s eyes when sh
Anamika rushed to the hospital when she found out what happened to her son. After the child’s wounds were treated, she sent them home and went to pay her mother a visit. Anamika barged into her mother’s ward and met her lying on the bed with her eyes fixed on the white ceiling: Deep in thought. When Mrs Woods heard the sound of the door, she jolted and looked towards the entrance. Seeing Anamika after five years, the woman fell from her bed. Not only is Anamika looking expensive in her off white knee-length gown and below the knee nude jacket, she also smelled really good. Mrs Woods was dazed for a long time when she saw Anamika who was supposed to be dead, walking towards her. “You–“ She couldn’t find words to utter as the shock coursing through her was beyond what she could imagine. “I’ve come to see how you look after inflicting injuries on your grandson.”“He- he’s not my grandson!” “Did it make you feel satisfied? Did you feel the increase of your life span after seeing his
Because of that, she opted to resign but somehow, the guy found out and threatened to release the video of them together if she resigned. Afraid, she stayed back. He’d be leaving in a week after all, she thought. For the remaining days that he stayed, he continued to blackmail her into having his way with her until he finally left. Mrs Woods resigned after that and patiently awaited her wedding. Two days before her wedding, she got a call from her fiance to meet at the massage parlor. She had no idea what the matter was, but went anyway. On getting there, she saw that her fiance looked shaken like he’d found out something bad. She was left in suspense for some hours before it occurred to her that her fiance had her sex tape. Apparently, Anna set up a camera in the massage room, so she was caught on camera having sex with the stranger. She tried to defend herself but Franklin wouldn’t listen to anything because on the video, she wasn’t forced. Yes, she and the stranger did exchang
Anamika arrived at the hotel where she was supposed to meet Taylor. The man was sitting quietly in the hotel’s bar lounge, with two mugs and pot of whatever liquid was inside. A waiter walked Anamika to him before leaving them alone.“Mika, you look gorgeous. How is your mother doing?” “What do you want with me this time?” she ignored his hypocritical pleasantry and went straight to the point. “You don’t expect me to speak with you standing over me like that. Have a seat.” He gestured to the sofa in front of him. “I’m not here to sit.” She replied curtly. “Alright. But you can’t say I didn’t offer you a seat.” He poured himself a cup of black coffee and started sipping it languidly. “Join me,” he added as if he didn’t know she hates black coffee. “Why did you call me here? I have other things I’d like to attend to.” “Well, you’ll have to excuse me. I have no intention of getting down to business so soon.” He smiled before he continued sipping his coffee gently and quietly. A
“Only I and Ash knows who Asher Walker really is. If you don’t pay for the information from me and go to seek help from Ash, I’ll send Ash’s father a message to tell him his son had grown weak because of you. I’m very sure your head would be hanging on a spike the next day.”Anamika looked at him skeptically for a while. Taylor had never lied before. In fact he has no reason to. “Asher would tell me what I need to know in due time. I don’t need to hear it from you. ”Taylor laughed. “It seems you don’t understand my point of coming here today. Ok, I’ll tell you everything for free.”“I’m not interested.”“Oh yes, you are… Asher Walker is the grandson of Old man Williamsburg from the capital.” He observed her face while saying it. Then a smile flickered across his lips when he saw the shock she was in before he continued.“When he was young, his grandfather and the Quinn family came into a consensus and held an engagement for Asher and Lisa, the brightest Miss of the Quinn family.
