2024-10-29 19:42:56Hurriedly, I got up from bed and headed to the kitchen. After turning on all the lights, I took out the dishes that I had placed in the fridge to heat them. While I was waiting for the rice to be cooked, and for the vegetable soup to boil I organized and set the plates and utensils on the dining table. I'm a little enthusiastic to think that we're going to eat tonight as a complete family. It was the first time, so I am excited! It did not vanish from my body because once in a while I yearned to have a family gathering with Lucas, Luke, and Iris despite it was impossible to come to pass. But look at us now. Fate made a way to grant those long-time prayers of mine as it was happening tonight.
“I'll wake them up later when the food is ready,” I mumbled as I visualized myself to be a good wife and mother by doing these things.I took the laundry from the washing machine. It was already dry. After folding them, I put it to the side. I have also served the diRelated chapters

Iris vehemently shook her head. I can see in her eyes that she doesn't like them no matter how I try to convince her. I already explained everything to her, but still, it's not working. She made up her mind not to accept them. However, I tried to convince her anyway. It just might be effective if I'll try it a few times again.“Iris, you can't do anything about it as it already happened. They are part of our family no matter what you think. Despite you turning the world upside down to change your fate, Lucas will remain your biological father. Luke will remain your older brother as well.” She stared at me for a moment as if telling me that what I uttered was pure nonsense. This time I get her attention. I know she was thinking hard. “Can you hear me? Nothing will change no matter how hard you go against it. In the end, you will just hurt yourself for continually saying no to them. Why don't you give them a chance?” I added using my most be

Together, Iris and I made our way to the kitchen. Just now I learned my lesson for not turning on all the lights earlier. If I did that, I wouldn't be that frightened of Lucas presence. Maybe because I was too complacent in my house. I forgot that I have a visitor here which is not normal without any occasions. I must be exhausted not considering that. As the light illuminated the whole area, Lucas wasn't there. He was nowhere to be found. Not even a trace of his shadow earlier. I am sure it's him. I am not only dreaming or imagining things out. My determination won't be wrong. Also, I have an eye of hawk-like. Lucas must have gone back to the room to disguise. He must be anxious too. It's unthinkable that it's just happened in my imagination, right? I won't make up some story about it either to create a misunderstanding between us. After I took out the pitcher of water from the fridge, Iris lent me a hand to get her glass. I was lost in thinking and ma

I'm not stupid enough not to know why we are here. This place is for the loved ones who are already done with their mission on earth. Yeah, I merely raised the wrong question. It slipped off my tongue as my thoughts were mixed. It should be who is the reason why we are here. Who are we visiting in this place? Lucas must have understood my question as he never inquired of what I meant. Also, I don't need to clarify the query further for him to figure out. After all, he is the only Lucas Romanov.“Can you respond to me now, Lucas?” I asked him but not the same question earlier. I am a bit hesitant but I need to know the truth. “Who died? Who the reason did we go here to visit?”Lucas remained silent. He didn't give me an answer as if he heard nothing. From the corner of his eyes, he glances at Luke. Unhurriedly, Luke opened the door of the car and got out. He went to the back side only to get the bouquet they bought from my flower shop yesterday. That's whe

What Lucas told me left me speechless. For a moment, I was like is this true? He was not poking fun at me? He is not making up some story? For what? Lucas was not that kind of person. I know it was a late reaction but my heart felt a throbbing pain. Sadness? Pity? Regrets? I don't know. I can't identify them. It was mixed emotions that I couldn't explain either. I do believe that Adeline was a good woman too. It was just that, she fell in love with someone else and she couldn't stop herself. I kind of understand her situation because I experienced them the same with Lucas. If someone asks me if I will allow this fate to repeat in my next life, I am going to say yes and agree even though it was painful and humiliating. In exchange, I met Lucas and Luke and I had Iris.“Annika?” Lucas tried to call my name to get my attention as maybe I looked like I was spacing out.Without realizing I stopped following him and the gap between us increased.

From that day on, Lucas and Luke always went to that location every weekend or every time they found some available time. A few hour's drive for Lucas was nothing. I had no choice but to introduce them as Iris father and Luke, my son to all of the neighbors and my staff. I just made some narratives and reasons such as Lucas and I talked about giving each other time away from each other to think. Luke stayed with him by the time I ran away with Iris being unborn in my belly. As expected, they didn't doubt, or even judge me for that decision. “Whoa! We never expected that from your side, Madam Annika! Your life story is amazing.” Sol exclaimed as if everything she heard about the narrative was extraordinary.Yeah, she was right. Our tales are perfectly incredible. I thought it only happened in the movie that we can watch on the huge screen. “You have a handsome husband. I mean the father of your child and your hidden son with him. How did yo

Who wouldn't be touched emotionally by Lucas words of wisdom? To be with me, he is willing to adjust. He is prepared to make some sacrifices and grow with me in not familiar place. I know leaving the political life that Lucas did well for how many years is one of the tough decisions he made. No woman won't fall for him over again when he behaves like this. Even a woman who is stone-hearted will melt down.Is that why I love him more? Absolutely.That's one of the reasons too why I can't let him go. I can't move on. For me, he is the best example of husband material in a world full of uncertainty. Of course, no woman could let go of a man who has this sort of perspective in life. Only once in a lifetime, I will meet this style of man. Shall I allow him to pass by and leave me behind? Of course not.This decision leads me to one of the greatest days of my life. I was firmly standing, genuinely smiling at my beautiful reflection in front of the

Adeline's parents also attended with so much excitement at our wedding. They never criticize me as a replacement for their daughter in Lucas and Luke's life. Lucas was correct. He already dealt with everything before he set a dinner with his entire family. They cannot stop saying gratitude and compliments for the greatness of my soul. At this moment, I feel like they are genuine for saying those words. They're not acting up just to please me. Unlike when I was in the shoes of Adeline, their words were full of bitterness and remorse towards me. I did not expect that their behavior would not as tough and rough as before, especially Lucas's mother. The level was diverse then.“Welcome to our family, Annika!” she exclaimed, she kissed me on both of my cheeks after hugging me.I just emphasize a slight smile. I couldn't halt my lips from trembling as I was frightened of them on the day that Lucas introduced us. Like even if Lucas told me to calm down because h

Our honeymoon vacation is organized for two weeks. At first, I did not approve when Lucas told me to decide which country I wished to go to. To be honest, I don't like to go out of the country, especially without our children so Lucas chose to have a honeymoon on one of the well-known beaches within the country. If we ever go and schedule to have a fun vacation in another country, the children must be with us. In my honest opinion, we don't require this. It's not necessary to do this after all we are already old. I believe the honeymoon is only for newly married couples who don't have children yet. And we are not counted among them. “We already have a child, Lucas. Is that still essential for us?” I appealed to him when he opened up about this concern to settle in. “Yes, that's a normal thing Annika to the couple after marriage. Even if we have a child, we can still do it. There is nothing wrong with that.” “But, we won't be required to

ANNIKA POVWho would have thought that all the ordeals Lucas and I encountered in the journey we could overcome by moving to another country?“Mom, hurry up!” Luke got my attention as I looked after them from my instance. “We must take some pictures before the increasing snowfall destroys snowmen,” he continued.My lips parted to give them a genuine smile. It almost reached my ear. My parched and cracked lips became painful due to the freezing weather in the country. The season is winter.“Yeah, I'm coming.”“Be careful, Wifey! You might fall. It's slippery!” Lucas yelled, who was there with Iris and Luke.“Instead of worrying, why don't you come here and lend me a hand? It's dangerous, right?” “You need help?”I rolled my eyes heavenwards. Does that even require to be asked? He could see that I was struggling to step closer to them. Why are the snowmen they made so far from o

The next day, I decided to visit Uncle Elias in the prison. His sentence is life imprisonment, and there is no chance of parole, but for me, that's not enough. He deserved more agonizing and severe punishment for him after knowing what he had done to Annika. He never did anything reasonable in his life anyway.“Why did you do that?!” I yelled as soon as I saw him approaching. If I could have broken his bones at this moment, I would have done it. “What's done is done, Lucas,” he answered calmly. To my ears, it sounded like he was proud. Sitting before me, I hit my hands on the table. If there were no police guard in the area, I would have already broken his neck and killed him. “There's no benefit in any regrets—”“How many more innocent girls have you robbed of a chance to live a normal life? Aren't you ashamed of what you did? You are disgusting! Most of them are minors! Didn't your body even tremble after you did that horrible thing to t

LUCAS POV I was heartbroken, and my heart seemed to break into a million pieces as I scrutinized the anguish reflected on my wife's face. I clenched my fist while I couldn't help but tighten my jaw. I was devastated as I assumed we would have no more challenging situations. But look at this: I was dumbfounded to find out that there is more. Heart-wrenching is the best way to describe my feelings towards my wife, not pity. At this moment, I really want to punch Uncle Elias face until it bleeds and see wounded pain so I can get revenge on my wife's behalf. If I can do that now, I will undoubtedly do it without regret.“Don't do anything dangerous that you will wish undone later, Lucas. Let's just let it go. That will also give us precedence over other information about us within the country. I'm embarrassed to ask you this, but I don't wish everything to get major problem of our family.”I didn't make a reply, but at the back of my mind, I wi

In two weeks of our honeymoon, Lucas and I made the most of it. We truly made the most of every moment, indulging in delicious food and intimate moments, taking some rest, and occasionally, taking a dip in the seawater to restore our bodies for long endurance. We are sole, so having intimate moments was not that tough. By reason of that, on the day that we had got to leave the place and return to reality where our two children were waiting. We didn't have anything to regret. Coming to have a vacation in this place is worthwhile and also priceless, to be accurate. It is worth the price: money, ambiance, and precious time with my husband.“Tell me honestly, Wifey, did you enjoy our two-week vacation? Or was it not enough?”I nodded in response. We are packing our things now, putting them back in the traveling bag. Tomorrow, we have an early dawn flight.”Do you want to have an extension period?”“No, this is already enough.”

So proud of myself. I gave back a cheerful and broadened smile at Lucas for his every word of acclaim. Am I mistaken in my response? I am different from other women because I have him. Why did he respond like that? Does he have a twin without me knowing? It might be as cliche as it may sound, but for me, he was the only Lucas Romanov in the world. “Am I incorrect?” I asked him and was almost about to crack up at his surprising and unimaginable reaction. “I have you, Lucas, which made me unable to be typical of another woman. Is it difficult to figure out?”“Yes, sure. You are right, Annika. I'm only only.” Lucas replied, slightly ripping off my cheeks. Despite the fact that the beginning of our love story was not significant in most people's eyes, I can only say one thing. We both felt love that was pure, even though it transpired at the wrong time with the wicked reasons behind it. Lucas and I were wounded in our cores and separated for quite a while. It taught us countless life le

Seizing for air, my eyes darted away while turning red. I'd instead stare out the car window to cover up my face. Lucas surely knows a lot of gibberish things. He kept getting on my nerves even though it was not his intention. As I spoke, my heart pounded with pressure. I felt Lucas motion to my side, probably to continue what he was doing, but I ignored him. My eyes remained outside as if he was not with me. Unhurriedly, I bit my lower lip to reduce the uncertainty that I felt. My body reacted and heated up at Lucas actions. If anyone else saw that, they might think he was out of his mind and a maniac. Lucas cannot close his pointed tongue and does not know the boundaries about speaking such things. I mentally roll my eyes. He cracked up so hard when he saw my response to what he spoke out. He was very pleased with the unexpected retort he got from me. Consistently, I ignored him. I didn't dare to look him in the eye as I learned my whole being was bewildered.“Don't worry, Annika.

As I expected, Luke's nanny Emily still resided in the mansion. Her appearance did mature but she was still the affectionate nanny of Luke. I didn't know if she knew my real identity because she always smiled at me from the day that we met and every time she made eye contact with me. To think about it, that seems impossible. My face is now reversed. I'm in my real appearance. There are no specks that once in the past five years, I pretended to be Adeline. Not unless Luke who is chatty like Iris, will tell her who I am. In that case, the reason was acceptable. “Mom, don't worry about my sister. I can take care of her too. Just enjoy your vacation with Dad. You don't need to think about us.” Luke stole my attention by expressing that as he rubbed his sister's back presumably to comfort her. “I'm a big boy now. I won't leave her alone or behind. You can depend on me right, Mommy?”“Alright Luke, thank you for your concern. I appreciate that.” I replied and
