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"A woman?" Ezicx was as well shocked by the news I brought her. "But I was for sure that it was a man. Is that report accurate?" He gently lay Jackson on the crib and sat on the sofa, he tap the sofa and motioned me to sit beside him. I do not know why I am trying to figure these things out when this thought was already buried years ago. Curious about the novel, I took my phone out of my pocket and type the title of the book. It's in my hands. I tried scrolling to its latest updates. "Weird." I said. Ezicx was trying to take a peek at what I was looking at on my phone. I turn the screen of the phone for him to see it."What's weird?" He said glancing at what I am reading. "Oh, it was that book.","Nothing, it is just that there is no latest update ever since I moved in with you. The update stops exactly when I decided to stay away. ""Huh? Wait. I am not getting any of your words. What do you mean?" I looked at him. Shoot! I forgot that he did not know
CASPIAN ALEXANDER AREVALO'S POV"They are back at their house." Mom said to my dad, who was sipping his tea while reading the early newspaper. We were currently having breakfast together. Although I miss the feeling but this is not the typical breakfast I wanted to have. Dad has been ignoring me ever since I came back. "Who?" He said with obvious uninterest after he flipped his newspaper. "Anica, she arrived last yesterday with her...fiancee ai assumed." Dad cleared his throat, put his newspaper down and as well as his reading glass slightly down and looked at me. "Well, I was wondering how the Mendez felt after removing such a thorn from her life. My father already disown me and I feel like disowning my son too "He was obviously making his voice loud enough for me to hear. "I already know about that, The late head of Mendez is about to reach his 2nd year Death Anniversary and of course as a sign of respect- people who he trusted should be there for mourning. The Mendez told us t

"Can I go into my daddy's house?"Everyone's gaze was pointed at her. Mom and dad were shocked- well almost of them but they handled it pretty casual though."Oh baby, daddy's house here is a little messy," Ezicx responded with an awkward laugh. Aphrodite turn to face him and she smiled with her nice white teeth being seen "No dada. I am talking about my real dad's house." Aaron plastered a grinning face. "Come on man. L

ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POVWhen Janine told me about my brother getting in a fist fight, I hurriedly went to grab my keys and drive straight to the address of the club that she told me about. I felt like there is a whirlwind of emotions happening inside my head. Ever since I went back to the mansion, nothing good is happening yet. There is this weird feeling that coming back is not the very best decision I have ever made in my entire existence. It's a choking feeling that pair of eyes are constantly looking at me, studying my moves as if they will be on her final examination.I did not let Ezicx come with me because I told him to stay with Jackson. When I get there, a silhouette was captured by the sight of my corner eye. I was hoping that it was not her..., every single step I take- there is this increase of fear, I knew the way she stands and even every inch of her back. It was her.

I told you not to tell her anything yet you told her! I also did not ask you to follow me" I feel like the veins from the sides of my head are starting to burst out. I groaned in annoyance. He puts his cup down and fixed his harry potter glass and then gave me a stiff look. "You did not tell me you were going to him. That's obviously cheating."I drop my jaw, hearing him say that word. Out of all people..."I am already cheating," I said with a straight face while I slowly take steps walking toward his direction. I pointed my finger at his chest. "With you." I stared at him for a while and while I was doing that I realized that t
