Anica's POV
I can feel the tension between the two men in front of us
" you guys know each other?" Janine asked, she must have also felt the tension.
I saw my brother smirk and look very intently at Caspian.
"Of course, I know this guy- I met him many times, of all man Anica- Why him? I knew it, I thought it was some weird feeling but he really is the man, the one who impregnated you. What a small world" He sighs as if the world has stumbled right in front of him.
" care to make yourself clear?"
He was cursing silently but still loud enough to be heard by us.
The tension when high when he suddenly grabs Caspian by the collar and face it directly towards him.
"Did you plan this? Why her? You choose my sister to come back at me? What the f*ck Bro, where are your balls?!!" Caspian slowly shook his head and put his hands up as if surrendering.
"Would you believe me if I say that I did not know she was your sister? And
Caspian's POV Three days have passed after my mini reunion with AX, for a short span of time I actually have the thoughts of getting back at him. Just reminiscing how he betrayed me, I can not stand an eye of his figurine and now I think I will be stuck with that asshole again. Life will always be this hard just to fuck me up, well then be my guest, hear Caspian's moan- you stupid life. ~ "Hey, brother!" Everyone raised their glass in the direction of where AX was coming "Hey, how is our leader going on?" Everyone was excited upon hearing updates from their 'lead player'. Everyone took their shots and dragged AX for a sit "so? What will we be able to learn today huh? Tell us." Kimax blurted out of excitement. "Yeah yeah! We would love to hear" Jovanni added
Caspian's POV While Janine was on a call- I think it was a call with Anica. I saw her running back towards us and then I hear my phone vibrate. I took my phone without removing my gaze from Janine. Awh, She looks hot. Why am I putting myself in trouble for this one. She is so irresistible. Consecutive notifs beep on my phone. "Anica Faith Mendez Signing Event." WAIT? WHAT, SIGNING EVENT? TOMORROW? NO! My grandfather will come tomorrow, she can't hold that signing event, my grandfather will be coming here fuming. I called her and warned her to not hold that signing event but she just refused and even put her phone down at me. "What is the matter?" Janine asked while lifting Emily. I was just looking at her and that made her wonder "Stop looking at me, you kind of creeping me out." The moment I hea
Caspian's POV "What?! What do you mean? You can't buy the schedule?" I uttered in frustration after hearing my assistant. "Buy her schedule for tomorrow! At any price! I want that schedule to be mine." she then responds "Sir, Her Handler offered thrice than what we had offered sir. She wanted to send you a message saying 'if you want peace, give me mine.' I turned the phone down. I remember how my grandfather said he was fine rescheduling the meet up with Anica, so this is why? Anica, aside from the fact that she will carry my grandfather's possible heir, is also a woman who belongs to an elite family. Her surname was also more superior than mine. "So this is how she wants to brag huh?" I clench my fist, trying to control my temper. She knows her status, she knows how to act but she does not know how a Caspian do his things. Okay, then. I will interfere with your signing event. You give me no choice, Anica. While

Tune in for more updates for our new revealed lovely couple!"We made it to the hit news again, you know what? You are such a pest Mr. Arevalo argh!

Can't you see the problem you just
Anica's POV"Oh, it was a total good news Ms. Anica, can not wait for you to be part of our family" I just smiled at this old man talking.Must be his grandfather."Please accept this gift from me, for you and for my great-grandchild inside you" he said, two men from his back brought a big box and he gave me a key. As he saw me being totally clueless about the key he just smile as he looks at me with a slight giggle in his place."That is a key to the house that I brought for the both of you"My initial reaction was shock, I may be rich but I don't really like receiving such expensive gifts.I handed him the key "No, this is too much Sir Arevalo" and he kept on pushing my hand, insisting for me to keep the key."No, of course, that is not too much.it will never be that way, my great-grandchild deserves the best gift"I don't want to cause any hurt in his feelings so I
Caspian's POVI can't count how many times I rewinded the cooking tutorial, currently watching 'How to cook Adobo' actually it just pop up in my mind, my mom used to cook this dish for us and it is one of my favourite dishes so I just decided to make this one for that grumpy pregnant lady."Wait what was that again?" Irritated, I rewind it for the nth times.I watched very carefully while making the dish. This is why I kind of have instant foods at my house, this is because I can't cook. I just don't know how to do it.The pan was heating so it's time to put the oil. I prepared the other ingredients earlier and the cutting, they looked like murdered ingredients. Anyways the cutting does not change the taste, right? The taste should be the main priority here."Poor garlic, you looked like tortured anyways you go to the pan now, time to shine. Maybe the justice will be served sooner" I watch as the garlic be cooked by the oil."Do I need
Anica's POV My ears were pulled by the sound I heard coming from the door. 'Is he in trouble again? Who is it this time? It's almost night time and he had an uninvited visitor?' I put down my food and went directly to the door. "Ow, look who we got here," she said while slowly looking at me from head to toe. The way she observed my wholesome, with some rolling eyes but she can't hide the fact that she was bitterly satisfied by my looks. "You done?" I asked, she just nod and glance at me for a while and then set her sight to Caspian. " You have the taste, huh, I must say she is quite a pick." She complimented but feels like just forcing herself to do so. "He does, obviously because he had me and who are you? I do not recall inviting you and he never told me about some visitor coming up at this hour." She was playing with her hair and obviously trying to flirt. This woman is the same woman that brought a scene on
Anica's POVFlashback~I step up and speed the car upon receiving Zy's text, my heart is beating faster. Nervously looking at the road, I asked Janine to call her again and again- panicky she did. She did not answer and that made my heart throbbed.She can't be serious. I know her and she can't just give up that easily"Faster! Please Anica" Janine's starting to tear up. "She won't do it, r-right?" She asked, stuttering.I wanted to tell her that No but it won't slip on my mouth.I gulped about three times, silently praying that she won't do it. Zy is a strong woman, she is a brilliant one. I don't think she'll cut her life for a man. For Pete sake, she's only 16 to deal with so much romantic trauma.No that can't be, she can't be.I kept on convincing myself that our close friend won't do what she told us in the text.'I can't live a life like this. I am sorry if I will leave you too early. Always reme
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. As of now, Aaron and I is trying to live in a place that Psalm doesn't know. I do miss Psalm sometimes but o
ANICA FAITH MENDEZ'S POVAfter being free from Ezicx, I immediately run to the hospital and I saw him laying there with his eyes close. 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.

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
