Anica's POV
Ever since the news of me finally giving birth, cameras were all around the hospital area and this is not what I want my daughter to experience. The media were so curious about what she looked like. Actually, I do not have a plan on revealing her since I want my child to have a normal life like all the other kids.
Being a daughter of a rich family, I was always prone to kidnap for ransom thing, I never had a day where I am in total peace and what I hate the most was the fact that every where I go, cameras seem to follow me and filmed every detail that is happening in my everyday life.
"Being a writer and famous actor's child won't be that easy" Janine said as she smoothly touch Aphrodite's cute little cheeks with her bare hand.
"Don't touch Aphrodite like that, sanitize first" I said while my eyes tries to find Caspian's presence.
Where's Caspian anyway.
Anica's POV"Thank you," I said waving goodbye to my brother and my friend, they were about to head out.Caspian was not here in the house when we got here. He must be still on the bar-drinking."I will have a word with that scum when he gets here, tell him I said so," Aaron said. "By the way, your personal doctor will check on you here later, you stubborn human!""All right, I get it. I just don't like hospitals and the media are gettin' into my nerves.""So your coping mechanism is using your power to bring hospital inside your house? tsk. So witty.- The undeniably intelligent brain of yours."The sarcastic tone. Aaron knows that I do not really use our family's power to my own benefit but that does not mean that I won't use it.I hired a personal doctor to check up on me because I wanted to go home- there's peace.
Caspian's POVI hold my mouth and wipe the blood coming from it, clenching my fist to control myself from punching back this old man.Two days ago, I talked back at him in front of those people who he thinks highly respect him. Earlier I received a text that he wanted to see me in his house, I wanted to know why even though I know the reason and I am not wrong about it."Is that the reason why you called me here? to punch me in the face" I said, watching him standing since I was on the floor. "Not bad, with that age of yours you still have that kind of strength""Look, dad! He sure is a rude child! He nothing like Samuel."I looked at aunt caroline, mentioning Samuel like always, Samuel is her son- unlike her, Samuel does not really care about his surroundings. We never had a bond but we never argue as well- He seems a little secretive though. I've seen him multiple
Anica's POVIt is like a dream, seeing him this thoughtful. Ever since he asked me if we can give it a try, he changed- a lot. "Wife, what do you want for lunch?"I am not yet getting used to our new set-up and our endearment but I have to admit that I like this one better."Can I have a fried chicken? Please." I said.He smiled at me but with some wrinkle on his forehead. "Do you love chicken that much?"I excitedly nod. I've always been in love with chicken, my favorite all-time food."More than me?" He said in a pout.I just released a giggle. "Would you be sad if I say yes?" He nods like how a child nods when they get what they like."Then no.""So you do you love me? Hmm." He teased. Oh crap, I knew it! This side of him always put me in a sile
Anica's POVI saw Caspian walking inside the room with an annoyed face."So how's your day?" I asked him when he went inside the room to hand me the diaper for baby Aphrodite.Instead of answering me he just slide beside and there I saw his aunt Caroline with her usual insulting look.This must be the reason why Caspian looked pissed. This lady, the moment I saw her face for the first time I never really got a positive vibe on her."So, this is the child?" He said taking a peek at Aphrodite. I just hope that she won't say a word that will insult my girl because I will not spare her."She's pretty." She said while distracting herself by looking around the area."Undeniably, yes." I proudly said."So my dear nephew, I was wondering if I can take half of this house for my son to live, this is big enough for the three of you." Caspian looked at her with a questioning look.I don't think he
Caspian's POVI looked at the paper, with disbelief painted on my face.A Boy's Love? There is no freaking way that I would do that, kiss a boy because she doesn't want me to kiss a girl?Seriously, it was just a play, an act and it is my job. How am I supposed to play future roles if she will keep messing her profession with mine? I looked at the paper once again and how the heck it happened that I am not aware of this?.I walked towards the set crew- where the director was talking to some staff. I cleared my throat to call his attention. He excused himself from their conversation and walk in my direction.I handed him back the paper. "I am not doing this one. I am not homophobic or somethin', I just can not do this one so I would like to request termination for this contract."I noticed how unresponsive he was so I held his shoulder and shake s
Anica's POVThis day was a worky one. I was aware that Caspian will get back to work.A week before the day he told me he have a project~I got an email that says they want a final plot, outlines and ending of the story that the director will put up in the series.This director has been contacting me to do the scriptwriting for them, normally directors will share ideas of what they are imagining as well but he put all his trust in me. I wrote a Romance genre type of story that I know viewers will enjoy, I wrote one already. If there is one thing that my readers loved about me- it was the quality of my work. Before I revealed myself to them, I started as an anonymous one named 'Miss A', the A stands for Anica and Author. I know it was too normal and plain to be noticed but somehow my story reached their interest- it was an unexpected success. I did not put any information about me being a

I asked her if she can babysit, she and dad gladly say yes but I am not so sure if they have their meeting for something.Caspian was in the car, he and I are now workmates since I will be one of those who will take a huge part in his coming series. Of course, it is a new working environment for me. When my books take their peak, I was recruited by agencies to do jobs like this.I kiss Aphrodite's forehead "Mommy will get you later, have a good time with your grandma and grandfather."and then I bid goodbye to my parents.I ran back to the car. "You did not even kiss your daughter goodbye," I said when I sat on the front seat.And t
Anica's POVRelax, I keep repeating this word in my head because the woman who grew hatred towards me is right in front of me. I raised my head and looked at her.Are you really going to stoop this low just to try and ruin me in front of everyone else?. I watched the three men, standing beside her. How did she even manage to get this three?. The past is haunting me."Who are them?" I watched Caspian's Reaction. I know he might ask about them when we got home so it might be better to just day it here."My ex-boyfriends"They are some of my victims way back when I was that kind of woman who do not know how to settle with one man. Playing was always part of my past life. I took my beauty as my asset to get them and they give in just so easily. I get bored so easily that the longest relationship I ever had excluding ezicx was only

I can't believe how fate played us all. Everybody seems to be in the right place right now. It's been a chaotic romance for all of us.You never really know that you love the person unless you saw that person slowly falling for someone new...a suffocating thing to watch with your bare hands unable to pull because you already chose to push them away.Who would have thought that the man I said not to fall in love with, is now the father of my two kids?. I had my hardest time admitting it to myself- falling for him, because
ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POV."Samuel is willing to help us but I am not hundred percent sure with it. After everything that Ezicx have done to him, I know he is still blinded by love. After all he helped him do all of those things." Zarah commented, giving me her phone that shows their conversation with Samuel. Zarah: It's not too late for you to free yourself from him.Samuel: I wanted to help you, I really wanted to but my heart doesn't agree with me. Ezicx was the only one who accepted me for being me and I can't easily let go of our memories together.That was their conversation. "He went ballistic after their break up just like what I told you back then and I know he's on cloud nine reconciling with him. A little unbelievable that he would agree that easily..." Caspian added. Out of the blue, we heard a heavy sigh."I know where Samuel is." Zarah said. We all looked at her, waiting for her to talk again. Janine, Aaron, Zarah, Caspian and I decided to end all of this by putting

I was still in chaos. "Did he call you again?" Aaron asked, pertaining to Psalm. I showed him my phone with 100+ missed calls. "That bastard's really getting to my nerves."I sigh. "I love that guy." I said out of nowhere. He went silent after hearing those words. He walk towards me and he placed his hand softly on the side of my neck and the next thing I know, his lips were on my forehead. "It's okay, you are still my wife and I will do my best to be a better husband."When I moved in with my husband and moved away from their mansion, Psalm went ballistic over it. I saw some red flags from Psalm and he became more possesive, he kept calling me asking when will I come back to his house.

His family are here too.Everyone of them saw me rushing in but only one of them speak words. "If something bad happens to my brother, I swear to curse you. You made his life already miserable and you are still making his life miserable." Hearing that from a child really went straight at me but instead of bickering with her facts, I went to caspian and took his hands.I heard Caspian's mom scolding his sister for her manners but I am not able to say that it was okay because the child has a point and it was a fact that I cannot put into an argument.I just looked at Caspian. "Hey. Wake up please." I begged. His mother told me that he is fine and the operation was a success. I breathe a sigh of relief, hearing thise assuring words from his own mom. After that, I went visiting him everyday for almost a week of his stay at the hospital. "Hey." He calle

We found out that he father both
ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POVI don't have anything to do, I don't feel like talking to anyone. I shut people out for almost a week after learning the truth that people only lied to me my whole life. Good thing that Caspian took his children with him... For their bonding time. Although, I still hate him I just can't make him stay away from his own children.All those days.I spent my nights and days.

ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POV My heart was beating madly while my knees are trembling. I am currently standing in a very familiar door.The house where Caspian and I first lived as a couple. I accumulate every strength I have left to whatever bombshell I am going to step once I went inside. Caspian lean and knock on the door for consecutive 8 times, we waited for about a minute and then nanny susan's voice was heard."Comingg!" A voice from inside said. I am for certain that it was hers."A-Anica." She call for my name when she opened the door, obviously not expecting me here since her eyes were widened in utter confusion of my presence."Mom is this good enou--" Eros stopped the moment he saw me and Caspian in front of the door."Oh, Caspian and Miss Anica." He put down the plate of scramble egg that he was about to show to his mom or should I say our mom. "Come in" My real mother said, opening the door more. She guided us to sit on the sofa while her and Eros sat on the another sofa
CASPIAN ALEXANDER AREVALO'S POV "Anica.""No. Please. Stop following me." I was inside the mansion, tailing her while she is roaming around the house. She got irritated and decided to finally face me."What do you take me for? Just because the man I thought truly loved me doesn't really do, that won't mean that I will get back to you. You left me, remember? You left me when all I wanted for you to do was to love me, love our family." she said. My chest started to pain, all those ridiculous things I have done toward her, backfired on me. I just look at her eyes, it speaks a lot about the pain she is feeling right now. However, I realized what dad told me. Dad is right, I should get Anica back. People around her keep on hurting her, she might not accept people right now but it is not the time to give up on her. I wanted to tell her what I found out recently, I wanted to tell her that I never really left, that the truth is I was kidnapped and just got released with a reminder of pro
CASPIAN ALEXANDER AREVALO'S POVEvery single time I read Anica's name on the internet, with her name being painted with different negative adjectives. All I can do is to sit on my couch and sighed repeatedly, I wanted to do something to ease her pain but I know that I belonged to those people who are hurting her right now. "Dad." I was cut off to my own thoughts when dad snap his fingers in front of me. "Are you just gonna sit here and be like a useless man? Won't you do anything to get your wife and your child back?" He said with an obvious grit in his voice. This is the first time that he talked to me in a long sentence. Ever since I got back and purchased everything that our family needed, he always gave me a cold shoulder. The worst part is knowing that you cannot tell the truth to them. It was a strict reminder before they released me, not to tell anyone the truth or else all the things they planned will go to waste. "How can I get her back in this situation?" I asked. "Stup
