Kurt was laughing so much it almost brought tears to his eyes. ‘What was she thinking?’ The thought of Annika expecting him to kiss her was too funny for him. This is making Annika more uncomfortable and embarrassed. Kurt was being insensitive. “Kurt, please stop. They are looking at us.” She whispered.
Kurt composed himself and tried to stop laughing. “Let’s sit down for a while.” Annika went to the restroom because she was on the verge of crying. ‘This is so embarrassing’ she said to herself. She washed her face and looked in the mirror. Someone knocked on the door and when she turned, she was shocked to see Kurt in the girl’s restroom. “What the hell, Kurt?&rdqu
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
Annika went home happily. She was feeling confident about the interview. She knew she answered every question sincerely. She was excited and hopeful. She really needed this job since she terminated the contract with Kurt. She sighed when she remembered Kurt. She was still hurt by his words.She took a shower and went to bed. She suddenly received a text message from an unknown number.‘Hi, Annika! This is Noah. I have news for you. Can I call?’Annika jumped out of her bed feeling nervous and excited. She whispered. ‘I hope this is good news. Please.’ Noah started to call after she replied. “Good evening, Annika.” Noah proceeded to tell the news. “First of all, I think you are ver
Kurt and Clyde decided to stay with Annika for the night just to make sure she was gonna be okay. Annika gave them pillows and a blanket. “Thank you for saving me tonight. I’m sorry about my place, I don’t have enough room here.” This was the first time that Kurt will sleep on a sofa. He had never done this before. He was used to sleeping in a big and comfortable bed. 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. This made Annika smile. She noticed a little change with the way Kurt talked. It was different. He sounded sincere. “Good night, Kurt.” she whispered. “Good night, Clyde.” Then she turned off the lights.When Annika went to bed, she couldn’t sleep. She was
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.
Clyde suddenly went to Kurt and jumped from happiness and said, “ “Kuuurtt!!! That’s totally the best news ever! I can’t believe that Ericka would do something like that!”Liam was absolutely thrilled as well. “Kurt! I’m glad that everything went well after all! 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. I can get to dress up and put on some make-u
Clyde and Annika went straight to the police and the chief instantly recognized Clyde. “Oh what a pleasant surprise there, Laddie! How have you been and your mother?” He cheerfully said and Annika got confused all of the sudden.“Good day Uncle Steve! My mom and I are doing great, thanks for asking.” Clyde said enthusiastically back at him. “Uncle Steve is one of my godparents. Him, my mom, and Aunt Catherine are acquaintances.” He whispered to Annika and she was kind of stunned but relieved at the same time.Then the chief noticed Annika and was curious. “Is the beautiful lass beside you your girlfriend lad?”Annika and Clyde were taken aback and both said, “No!”
Catherine laughed maliciously because her plan succeeded. She then glared at Annika with her arms crossed and intimidatingly said, “I don’t remember sending you an invitation woman! What the hell are you even doing here!? The show’s over and Kurt is finally married to a more worthy woman for him. 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! " Annika was then brought to her knees and sobbed uncontrollably.Kurt wanted to explain to Annika everything but he just couldn’t face her. He wanted to hug her and kiss her to let her know and feel
“You don’t have to worry about everything, Kurt. I’ve already initiated and planned your wedding for tomorrow. Everything is in place. All you have to do is to show up. Of course, Liam also has the role of being your best man. He is your brother after all.” Catherine said as she slowly grinned while looking at Kurt’s absolutely gutted expression.She then sat down and turned her eyes to the current documents that were on her desk and said, “Now I’ll let you two be off, you should rest for your big day tomorrow. 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. She returned to her normal and working state.Kurt went to the bar with Liam to have a drink in the middle of the day after Catherine told him that. His heart has never been this he
“Liam… was the true culprit in the car accident…” Kurt weakly said to Annika.Annika was dumbstruck and froze instantly, then she asked Kurt, “W-What? What are you even saying? Liam couldn’t be–”“Our mother just told me everything! He should be the one who should have been put to jail and not Sophia. It’s my brother’s fault that you’ve been through so much… I’m sorry! I know that you hate him now and me as well…” Kurt said as he felt guilty even though he was not the culprit.“Stop it… I’m so confused as of now and you’ve even told me a more confusing story! We’ve seen everything from your mother’s office. Liam is not the culprit, Kurt! Why are you doing this to your own brother!?
Kurt noticed Annika’s face the moment he had put down his phone. “Annika, are you okay? ” He asked calmly and concernedly. Annika immediately responded, “Y-yeah. Don’t worry. 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.
“Angel, I deeply apologize, that is merely a conjecture of me that you have seen. Ericka already told you that we are just acting. That is really the truth, I couldn’t possibly do that to you…” Kurt said while looking at Annika sincerely.Annika tried to fight the feeling she has for Kurt and said, “No! Stop it, Kurt! 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. Annika tried to fight his kiss, but he exploited one of Annika's flaws, knowing how to control her body, and kissed her more passionately. His hands knew exactly wh
“What… Marriage!?” Annika was shocked as tears fell on her face. “Well.. yeah. It’s because—“ Ericka’s line was interrupted when someone called her name. “Ericka! What are you doing there? 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. Kurt hated himself because he can’t do anything in his current situation, even though the woman he
“If we have discovered something new, then I have to inform Katie as well.” Annika said while she grinned a little and was putting out her phone to call Katie. 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?”
