Caspian's POV
There are a lot of things that we are trying to sort out. The leaked photo of our daughter's face really invade her privacy just like how Anica envisioned it. The one that really took Anica's time was that spy who had a copy of our sexual activity.
She even spent less time with our daughter and she's not aware of things happening inside and outside of the house.
Whenever we go, cameras were all around. It is normal for the paparazzi to follow her around since she is my daughter and being a child of an actor means that your life will be on camera as well. The case just intensifies since Anica is her mother and not just a simple writer and mother, she is the most talked-about member of the Mendez Clan.
My relationship with Anica was actually working out well, however this past 2 weeks, she looked paranoid and can't stay in our house. She is always going somewhere and
Caspian's POV"Happy Birthday to youuu~Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday...Happy Birthday to you." I looked at the crowd singing the birthday song to me. Their eyes are filled with happiness, while they are clapping and joyfully celebrating the day with me.It's my family, my cousin, my grandfather and it's just them-nobody else. I don't really like celebrating my birthday but this time I wanted to, however the person I want to celebrate it with me, is not even around.The place is lively but my heart is at its peak of loneliness. She forgot my birthday or worst she might be unaware that it is my birthday...I roamed my eyes- hoping that I might see Anica in the crowd but no matter how many times I tried to look for her presence- She is not there."Where is your wife, Son?" My father asked, I turned my gaze at the door. "She is outside, she's a little busy today.""Why would her wife cancel her important matter just for this
Anica's POVThe empty room was filled with silence. I opened the door and look through its surrounding, after realizing that no one is really there. I closed the door.It's been 3 days after that incident and I haven't seen Caspian for a while now.A sudden phone ring breaks the silence dominating this house.'It must be him.'Having this thought, I put Aphrodite in the crib and I quickly ran towards my phone and answer it full of excitement."Hey, I am So...""Oh, Sorry. Are you expecting somebody else? It's me, Janine." My excitement drops when I heard her voice.I thought it would be him already...He is really angry this time and I cannot point fingers at him, it was my fault. I was careless with my words.~~~It was around 4-5 pm if I am not mistaken. I arrived at Janine's place. Today we were about to continue our investigation. She told me to stop it but I just can't.I know that I need to make sure that my image won't be ruined. However, I received a call from Caspian's Mother
Caspian's POV"Yes. Send her that and do not tell her where I am right now. "After what happened between Dianna and I, she does not deserve someone like me.I cheated on her, the first one was a mistake but the second one I got tempted and that is my second time cheating on her- secretly.My emotions carried me away. When I heard her blaming me that day, I was deeply hurt by it. I thought she understand me but she did not even let me speak something for myself."Are you sure about this one?" I looked at Dianna, her eyes were looking right at mine. "Just reminding you that you don't need to do this... I did not want to cause any trouble. I will be going back to LA, she doesn't have to know what we did. It was just a game...yeah a game""Do I look like joking to you?. Still, I cheated on her twice with you and I can't face her like everything's fine when it's not." She rolled her eyes at me and hand me back the divorce paper that I gave her.I looked at the paper and looked back at her
JANINE'S POV"You are??" When I heard Zarah's scream in excitement. My curiosity lits up despite of having something on my mind. I wanted to tell her something but I think it should be suppressed by at the moment thoughts, and focus on what we are dealing with right now. The whole time I was quiet it is because of something that's been playing inside my head.This can wait...My feet walks on their accord and then brought me to the three girls. "What is happening here?" With an ear to ear smile, Zarah pulls out a thing and waved it right in front of me. My jaw dropped to the floor when I realized what it is.A pregnancy test.I grabbed it and looked closely at it. The Pregnancy test has two lines on it which means that she's carrying another life on her belly. My gaze went questioning with her gaze.If this is real then this one is not because of any contract, situation or what. This life inside of her... They made it without condition but the situation right now is not good. The
Anica's POV"This one looks nice" I pointed out a wedding dress from a magazine. We are currently looking for Janine's wedding dress. I am here accompanying her in replacement for my brother who was called for a business trip. "Would your brother love me in that dress? Do you think it will suit me?" I looked at the dress and look at her- imagining her wearing it.'Fabulous'"You look wonderful in it. If Aaron comes to be in dislike, I promise to forever judge his taste in everything. You look absolutely perfect dear, no need to worry even a rag of clothes can be fashionable if you will be the one to wear it." She giggled hearing me compliment her, I rolled my eyes and smiled at her. She gave me a grateful glance and then to the wedding dress seller. "I'll take that dress, the one recommended by my friend." She happily went to see the dress for herself and I was left on the sofa where her future husband should be sitting.I never saw Janine this excited so it makes me wonder more..
Anica's POV'I'm fine mom''Yes dad, your daughter's fine.''Don't worry papu, your granddaughter's okay."'I am fine, Aaron. Mind your own happiness with my friend.''I am fine Janine, No need to worry'Those were excuses.I am not fine but I have to be fine in front of them. That is how they knew me and I have to put on a show just to stop them from worrying and from questioning as well. I hate it when I can't say at their faces that I am silently breaking down, trying to accept the fact that I may be the one at fault for why he suddenly decided to walk away.I am not fine...Really."Fuck! Why is it so hard to draft a plot now!?!" I put all my anger toward the blank paper that I was supposed to use for my novel plot scenes. I crumpled the papers aggressively. At this moment, I do not know what to write. All my energy was wasted on crying at night- asking myself why does everything need to be ruined because of one single mistake. I look at the clock, it's almost 6:00 pm. Not a
3rd Person Point of ViewLoyaltyHonestyRelationshipThis is not only a word but something that should be committed to for a lifetime not for temporary purposes. Whoever shows the opposite of these, I consider them as my foe. I despise relationship cheaters a lot, if there are people I am wishing to die- it will be them."How's he?" I asked while playing with my pen. Writing on a scratch paper. After writing some sentences I put the paper in my drawer.That might be a paper but it has more power than the man I currently have in my possession.He gave me pictures for his daily report. I looked closely. "He's not eating. He refuses to eat. All he does is shout and beg." I can't help but to put a sneer on my face. Who would have thought?Caspian.Caspian, you are acting too hard. I know acting is your strength but that won't work. I asked my informant to bring me to him. They opened up a room, it is soundproof. I purposely told them to make the whole room soundproof so that I can stil
CASPIAN'S POVRemembering the days I spent with her, Anica did play with me- not jferal cats a way I expected her to. She basically went from having the contract with me and being so distant into doing things that test me as a man and of course like any other man- I was tempted. But looking back, it's more likely the blame was on me because I was the one who was so unstable inside our relationship.One day, I felt like I am in love with her but when Janine came- everything was put into question. I did so many things that might have mixed up with her emotions. I gave her so many mixed signals and I hate myself for doing that. The playboy character I wished to bury was not properly put to an end, I knew it crawled back at me while I am still in a relationship.It is crazy how I am trying to have reliable reasoning for cheating on her because I wanted to get back to her with a full conscience. I wanted our family back together and just live life without telling her about the cheating I h
ANICA FAITH MENDEZ- AREVALO'S POVThe moment that Caspian open his eyes 2 years ago, was the happiest moment of that time because I thought that I would lose him but gladly God gave him back to us, to me.After he was out from the hospital, we have our simple wedding with close people beining invited.It is one of the hardest moments of my life- watching him fight for his life while I realized that I love him, I always did and that was just carried out by the anger. 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. Writing...Blurting out my feelings into words.And those nights...amazingly what pain could do. .... how I was able to create a 200 thousand word count novel within a short span of weeksI took a deep breath before handing out the hardcopy of my novel to the organizer of the writing contest. She smiled at me and wished me goodluck before I left the venue. That novel's personal function was to release my stress, pains and all those negativities that the situation brought me. It was unexpected and everything seems to be chasing time.I covered my mouth with my hands when I saw my recent ema
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
