ANICA FAITH'S POV.I rub my eyes the moment I open my eyes. Ezicx woke up when he felt that I moved. He was sleeping peacefully beside me while he was holding my hands."Anica, finally you are awake. We were so worried about you." They gather around me as they heard Ezicx's words. "I had a bad dream," I said while they looked at each other- worriedly.In my dream, Papu died. He can't be dead."It is not a dream, baby." My father spoke. Ezicx pressed my hands before he stand up to give way to my father.My father sat at the side of my bed. "I know it is hard to let go of someone you truly love but your papu can rest now." He said but his words are not comforting me at all. The sincerity of his face did not appear as comforting to me. I do not want to accept. I remained silent. Tired, sad, restless and in pain.These are the emotions that are taking shifts in my life. I was suddenly reminded that life is just a temporary living for all of us- Death is a natural occurrence. All of
ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POVI gave my house to Nanny Susan and her family. The house that Caspian and I lived in. I don't feel like going back there because it was filled with his sweet gestures. Every corner of it reminds me of the fact that he played with my feelings. Ezicx told me that he brought a house where we start building memories. We enter an exclusive subdivision and stopped in front of a house that is smaller than my previous house but spacious enough for 4 people. "We are here," he said pointing out the house. "What do you say? It may be smaller than your usual home but it is comfy enough for us." "It's fine. I am not a picky one." He heaved a sigh of relief and took our luggage out. When we enter the place, the surrounding was dull and the painting as well. There is no decoration at all. The walls were plain grey.He scratched his hair and look at me with a shy smile. "I forget to tell you. The house has no interior design yet."He first moved the luggage from his car to

He seems like he is a good guy. "Caspian and I, even though we were first cousins we never really had good moments together." I remember Caspian's story. He told me that ever since he was a child, their family was treated differently."So I assume that Caspian already told you things about our family." I nod in response. Caspian never really told ne details but he did speak some of the reason why he hate his family from his father side."It is really hard growing up. Caspian and I we were close when we were little but everything change that night." "What night?" I said out of curiosity.However at the back of my mind, I

That Anica can be easily deceived. I think she is now questioning if Selena was her true friend. That bitch. If she just had her job done the first place, she wouldn't be drag like this. Her only job is to seduce Caspian and let Anica suffer but now she's suddenly hooking up with someone ." Samuel said with a proud look in his face, I turned to face him. Samuel was one of those people I was willing to use in order to make things happen like how I planned it. I could have had Zarah by my side if her anger was not buried by her conscience. Selena, she was also my pawn. I was secretly manipulating her but she was too busy finding the right man for her and when she realize that Caspian will
ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POVYears have passed. 2 long years to be specific. It took me that long to heal from all the pain and to finally get over him.Caspian never visited either me or his children. I never saw not even a glimpse of his shadow. Our daughter was now 3 years old, close to 4 in a few months. She is an active toddler now.The house that I am currently living in was my 5th house. We left our old house because he told me that it would be much faster to heal from all those pain if I will get away from the place. We were 3 hours away from the Mendez Mansion. I did not take any of the wealth that my papu gave me, I let my mother take care of it for a while- when I am ready to handle such a huge amount, mom would let me handle it.Even though I received a warning from someone while I was there. I just can't see my mom as someone who would be like that. She was such a pure kind-hearted woman."Mommy!" I looked at the girl running toward me. It was Aphrodite. Aphrodite grew u
CASPIAN ALEXANDER AREVALO'S POVJust like what Eros suggested, I read books and comprehend things in a deeper point of view. My life rotated in books, eating, exercise and longing. There is no other options aside from these three options. I have no other choice but to find hobbies that would enable me to become a better version of myself. At least, when my abductor released me someday then I know how to become a better person for Anica.It was one night when Eros came to my door, it was not the normal time of his visiting hours.He went and hugged me tight. I had no idea about why he was acting that way until he show me a key. I pointed at it with my hands trembling. "A k-key? What does that mean?" He took my hand and I watch hik as he open my hands and placed the key in my palm. "Tomorrow is the day. I was so happy for you. I know that sir was planning to keep you for more than just 2 years but I am glad that you will be released earlier."I couldn't contain my happiness that nig
ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POVAfter that encounter with Caspian, Ezicx seems to be totally bothered. He wasn't saying it directly but he is a little paranoid after that. Obviously, because there were so many times that he would suddenly space out. "Hey Honey!" I called for him, while he was playing with Jackson. Like always, every time I call him. The smile on his face would suddenly appear- as bright as the morning rise of the sun. In my vocabulary, his smile was always as genuine when he first confessed his feelings for me. I wanted to give him the assurance he deserve so I walked toward him, covered Jackson's eyes and I gave him a peck on his lips. "I love you," I muttered in between our lips, his smile from earlier suddenly curve into a downward smile. He looked at the floor, while we both are in a kneeling position. He cups my cheeks with his hands. "I-I can't lose you." He said. Suddenly a teardrop escapes his eyes. I knew it, that interaction bothered him. I lifted his chi

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.

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.

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
