Annika woke up with a headache. She wasn’t able to get up yet. She thought about what happened last night. That was her last straw. Yes, she needed the money but she knew she didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. She knew that she deserved more. She knew when to walk away. And besides, there are many companies out there where she can apply.

“It’ll be a long day.” She sighed. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a huge mess. Her mascara was all over her face. She cried a lot, she cried herself to sleep. She also didn’t have the chance to change her outfit. She was tired physically and mentally.

Even though she has a hangover, her agenda was to look for jobs today. She didn’t want to waste time. She took a shower, brushed her teeth and wore semi-formal clothes. “I am ready.” She told herself w

But he didn’t complain, he wanted to be here for the safety of Annika. “It’s okay, Annika. Don’t mind us. Sleep comfortably tonight. We are here. Don’t be scared.” Kurt reassured Annika.

    Annika and Kurt were having a great time. Kurt was open about his life more than before. He didn’t know why, but it made him happy that he had someone to talk to other than Clyde. Annika couldn’t believe the sad and rough childhood that Kurt went through. She couldn’t imagine having to go through that because she had a great childhood with her sister.She suddenly missed her sister. They used to do a lot of things together. Shopping, painting each other’s nails, and so much more. She looked outside the window and sighed. Kurt noticed the sudden changes with her expression. “What’s wrong Annika?” Annika composed herself before turning around. She faked a smile. “I’m just hungry.” Kurt wasn’t convinced with her answer. “Annika, tell me what’s wrong.” Annika sat down and started opening up about her sister. &ldqu

    “You didn’t tell me you have a brother.” Annika was curious about Kurt’s brother because Kurt never mentioned it to her before. Kurt’s brother was not included in the childhood memories that Kurt told Annika about. Is he dead? Are they not on good terms? Annika’s head was full of questions. Kurt didn’t bother to tell Annika about his brother. They used to have a good relationship. They had some good memories together but when they grew older, his brother focused his time on his friends and work. Kurt’s brother wasn’t able to spend time with him anymore so he held a little grudge against him.Liam was the name of Kurt’s brother. He was older and taller than Kurt. He had the same blue eyes as him. Kurt looked up to him a lot when they were kids. But

    Kurt was nervous about the idea of Annika living in his house for the meantime because that means they will have to act as a fake couple for almost every day. Annika was both shy and nervous. She didn’t think this was a good idea but she had no other choice. “I’ll already call the helpers. They will prepare the room for you.” Annika insisted that she would sleep on the sofa instead but Kurt didn’t listen to her. “Kurt, this is too much.” Kurt told her they would talk later after their dinner. They stepped outside the car. “What do we have for dinner today, Chef Joshua?” Kurt asked as soon as they got home. He was hungry because he waited for Annika’s shift for almost six hours. Annika was also hungry but she was thinking about too many things and it made her lose her appetite. The house chef, Joshua, prepared Chinese food for dinner because this was Kurt’s request the other day. “Tonight, we have shredded

    It was finally time for the fake couple to sleep, and all of their agreements were to go into effect right away. This will be their first time sleeping in the same room, and even though they will not be in the same bed, they both still felt very awkward and nervous. But now that they're in Kurt's room, they can act normally. Annika was especially grateful that Kurt let her stay and thanked him for being a gentleman at the time.“Kurt, are you sure that you’re really not afraid of the dark?” She suddenly asked him while smiling.“O-of course! Why would I be? I'm just not used to sleeping when it's turned off… that’s all.” Kurt said defensively while seeing Annika smirking.“Yeah… sure you are… maybe you’re just afraid of the monsters under your bed.

    “Scared you? Why? Are you doing something bad?” Clyde said to Annika while smirking. “What are you doing in front of Liam’s door anyway?” He added.Annika was indeed frightened by his sudden appearance and did not want to lie to Clyde so she told him that she was on her way to the library when that door suddenly caught her attention, “I’m sorry, it’s just that I’m so curious what’s inside this room. I’m not usually the type to stick my nose into someone else’s business. I know Kurt will be furious if he finds out that I’m about to sneak into his brother’s room.” She said with a panicked voice.Clyde leaned a little closer to Annika and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell this to Kurt. It will be our little secret.” Then he smiled.

    Annika abruptly stood up after Clyde greeted the intimidating woman for a few seconds. She thought she asked her a question when she spoke earlier, but when she saw her, she couldn't speak. Annika now knows who the woman is even without introducing herself to Annika.The woman gave Clyde a slight nod as he approached her, then averted her gaze to Annika. You can tell by the way she looked at her that she has a lot on her mind. She appears to be judging Annika harshly. Her demeanor suggested that she wanted to swallow her up alive.Silence shrouded the whole living area after a few moments, but Clyde said something that broke the ice, “Auntie, where is Kurt? My calls won’t reach him at all.” He asked her aunt with a calm and respective voice.“Well, it appears that my son is still as slow as e

That was something I wouldn’t have expected by myself.”Kurt concluded it wasn't a dream when his brother and a friend heard it as well, and he then added, “E-Ericka, I-I don’t know how can I express my gratitude for what you’ve done. I t-truly appreciate this and you as well. This means so much to me.”She smiled back and responded, “Don’t mention it. This was for all of us, Kurt, and I had a lot of fun portraying the bride.

You now don’t have a place anywhere in his life anymore!”Annika ignored everything Catherine said and just stared at Kurt, who had turned his back on her. “Kurt! What were you thinking when you did this? I just couldn't figure out what was going on in your head! I thought you weren't going to hurt me anymore!? You... you promised!

I, on the other hand, still have lots of things to do.” Their mother said like all of what happened was nothing to her at all.

Good luck later on…” She gave him a weak smile and then turned her gaze to Liam."Liam, we should get ready now, too," Annika said to Liam to divert her attention away from him.“Yes. After mom would get out of the company building, we were to quickly go into her office. We will still take our entrance at the underground parking lot up to her office.” Liam explained his instructions more, then looked at Kurt."Kurt, please notify us as soon as you are with Mom and Ericka. By the way, does Ericka know about your later appointment with her and mom? "Liam asked his brother.

It’s clear to me that you love that woman!” Annika tried to let loose with Kurt’s grip on her hands.“Do you know what I’ve been through!? You don’t—” Kurt then silenced her with his lips! Annika was completely stupefied by Kurt's actions! She tried to struggle, but Kurt was too strong and would not let her.

We should go to the restaurant now. We still have a lot to talk about for your wedding with Kurt.” Annika and Ericka turned their gaze and looked at who spoke. It was Ericka’s father and he strictly ordered that Ericka would get back now.Annika’s doubts greatly increased because Ericka’s parents showed up and Kurt didn’t even stop her. She didn’t even need another word from any one of them because she was slapped with the reality that Kurt was going to marry another woman. Annika stormed out at the scene and did not look back.

Clyde was confused and asked her, “Huh? You look rather happy about this Annika.”Annika then looked at Clyde and responded, “Oh. Y-yeah. Because I know that Katie might sulk and get mad at me because she is missing in action right now. Did you know that she was the one who suggested that we use Sophia’s apartment as a secret hideout or something? Seriously, she is like a kid sometimes, who loves to play detective.” Then she chuckled and called Katie.Clyde laughed back silently and said, “I agree, that Ellis is practically a child.”Liam looked at Clyde and called his name. “What is it, Liam?”
