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'S POV"He is so good with kids, Don't you think?" Janine said as she points her finger at Ezicx and Aphrodite. They were playing like father and daughter. I sighed. This is not the right time to fantasise about that moment when the real father can't even show himself an important occasion like this. I looked around and the stop my gaze at them- people who are enjoying the food that we prepared. There were a lot of people and the press were drove out of the venue, I made sure that the security is tightened just in case since there were people a lot of people inside the hotel. "Yeah, he is. He was always good with kids." A familiar voice interrupted.I turned my head and saw Zarah. She was walking with Selena. She accessorized her directional Alexander McQueen dress with lovely lace splices and timeless heeled sandals. Looking almost likely going into a business transaction. Meanwhile, Selena is just wearing a strapless black dress, featuring a snug bodice and a thigh-high slit,
JANINE'S POV"I think those three have something to expose." Anica said but I wasn't paying attention. I am still worrying about the man I saw yesterday."Hey!" a tap on my shoulder pulled me back to reality. she snaps her fingers in front of my face "looks like you're on another planet again." I looked at her, pulled out my phone and scrolled at it. I can feel Anica's concerned look. She grab my phone and turned it on. "Seriously, you've been spacing out since yesterday. Is there something I need to know?""None," I said. "When you say none that fast, I know that there is something to say."The annoying picture of that man kept on appearing in my head. What am I going to do? I can't tell Anica about her brother hooking me with an unknown man despite the fact of knowing that he and I will get married. She will definitely hate Aaron and I know Aaron will hate me if that happened. I cannot. Sorry Anica. I know, I told you that there will be no secrets between us but this one incl
AARON'S POV"Bro! How did you find a woman as hot as your future wife?" I saw Kimax glancing at my wife a couple of times after Anica excused her from our table. Normally when kimax compliment a woman, he means every single thing that comes out of his mouth and that is the only thing that I find positive in him.I took my glass of wine, shake the glass a little making the liquid circle and sip on it. "I am Aaron, remember? Of course, I know how to pick my woman."I was a little shocked when I find these three idiots standing in front of the entrance and the more shocking is that they were invited by Caspian. I thought he forgot about his old buddies but I guess he did not, after all, these three are here.Jovanni was just busy looking around and dropped his gaze on Zarah. I looked at him and his eyes shows interest in her. "That is Zarah Gomez, if I remember it clearly. She is not into guys right now. I heard she just broke up with her long-distance boyfriend." I said and he just repe

Mrs Mendez.When I open the door knobb, I saw her- looking at herself in the mirror while her make-up artist is putting foundation on her face. She is absolutely stunning today- however, something is off, she does not look as excited as she was last last day. I immediately walked toward her and sit on the adjacent chair. After her make-up, she signals the make-up artist to leave the two of us. "You look wonderful, Janine. You look hundred times beautiful" I complimented her to lift up her mood. She hold her earing and gently play with it with her fingers while she looked at her own reflection "Am I?" She said and after that we just stared at the mirror for a good full minute.She suddenly chuckled but obviously she's trying to calm herself.

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..."

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.

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.

I am for certain that it was hers."A-Anica."

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.

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
