Wife In Contract CHAPTER NINETEEN: UNEXPECTED INVITATION
ANNIKA'S POVWhile we eating dinner, I noticed that Caspian was a little bit distracted. He seems to be out of focus, and I often caught him spacing out. He was holding the glass of wine for too long, playing with it as he stared into the city lights. He looked as if he was in deep thoughts, and it bothered me that he seems serious.After a while, he drank the wine in one gulp, and I was quick to refill his glass. “Thank you, baby,” he uttered.I looked at him and decided to ask him, “Problem? Is it about work?”“What?” he asked softly, and then he shook his head, “Don’t worry about it, baby. It's nothing I can't handle.”He then smiled at me before drinking his wine. I shrugged my shoulders, a little bit unconvinced. But when I remember how hard he worked under the company, I felt relieved and proud. I know he can handle anything. He's tough and wise, and he knows how business works. I'm pretty sure his father won't give him the position if he wasn't confident in his capabilities.I l
Wife In Contract CHAPTER TWENTY: CHARITY BALL
ANNIKA'S POV“Juliette is coming with you. I want you two to come to that ball.”My heart almost stopped beating when I heard those words. I felt the familiar pang of pain spreading all throughout out my heart. Of course, he wouldn't want his son to be seen with someone like me who doesn't have any background in the business world...whose name doesn't even mean anything special. People like him only works with people of their same level. Nonetheless, the fact that I know this is possible wasn't enough to make me prepared for the pain.The ray of hope, and speck of expectation that rose within my heart immediately died. Maybe I believed in the magic of love...so much that I forgot it only exists on fairytales. That the reality is far worse...and harsh.I just assumed that maybe because we're married, I will be his date on that night. Unconsciously, hot tears rolled down on my cheeks. I looked down and wiped it hastily.I can feel Caspian's hand, holding me tight as well as his laboured
Wife In Contract CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: FAIRYTALES
ANNIKA'S POV“TOGETHER AGAIN?” The caption said. I took a deep breath and prepared myself as I started to read.“Heir to Ferrer Group of Companies, spotted with his former girlfriend, Heiress turned model, Juliette Haylee Carter of Carter Industries.Many speculate that the former lovers are trying to make things work again, after seeing them together at the House of Angels Charity Ball. Caspian Timothy Ferrer is all smiles, while the glow on Juliette Haylee Carter's face couldn't be mistaken as a simple blush. The two have been inseparable all night long which sparked a rumor around the party...”I stopped reading the article. I thought I would be okay if I let him go with her. However, my heart couldn't take it. Just seeing their photos together was enough to make my heart constrict in pain. I wish...I wish it was me who was with him in that party.I sniffed, feeling emotional all of a sudden. I reminded myself that maybe I shouldn't ask for more. Being his wife should be enough...a
Wife In Contract CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: A MOTHER
ANNIKA'S POV Holding two bags of groceries in my hand, I slowly walked inside our little home. I saw my mother sitting on the couch in the front porch of the house. Beside her was Cathy, her private nurse. I put the groceries down, and smiled at her. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she smiled back at me and welcomed me in her arms. I immediately hugged her tight. “I missed you, Mom. How are you?” I whispered. “I’m fine. You didn't tell me you were coming here today. Did something happen?” she asked worriedly. I shook my head, and smiled wider. “Mom! What makes you think that way? What now? I don't get to visit you if I miss you?” I asked, raising my eyebrows on her. She looked at me, a little bit unconvinced, but I shrugged. “What could happen, Mom? I'm living the best of my life. I have a husband that loves and supports me in everything that I do. And you're here with me...alive and healthy, that's what matters.” A lump formed on my throat as I say those words. I didn't want t

ANNIKA'S POVMom's words had distracted me. I was caught off guard, and now, I couldn't help but to dwell on it. Remembering what happened last night, I realized that I Iet my anger get the best of me. I wasn't rational. I didn't even give him the benefit of the doubt. I simply accused him based on what I perceived of the image that was sent to me. But...on the other hand, I know I had every reason to doubt him. And that the feelings I had last night -- the jealousy, anger, betrayal and pain -- were all valid.Ever since Juliette was back, I know they've been spending time together. Especially now that I'm no longer working in the company, it was so easy for her manipulate things to her bidding. To Caspian, it may just be friendly dates, but I know it means a lot to Juliette. And I hate that I can't do anything about it because they've known each other for a long time. They were friends, and at once, lovers...and even their parents were very supportive of them. I, on the other hand, w
Wife In Contract CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: PERFECT TIMING
ANNIKA'S POV We were sitting in the dining room together with Mom and Jade who had just woken up. There was an awkward silence that filled the air with none of us speaking. Mom eyed me, her eyes filled with obvious curiosity, but she didn't say a word. It also didn't help that Jade was looking at me with a wide grin on her face as if she was telling me that she was right. “You were outside last night?” It was Mom who finally broke the deafening silence. Caspian cleared his throat and nodded his head. Jade's grin become wider, and her eyes were giving me a look that says ‘I told you so.’ “Yes, Mother. It was really late last night so...I didn't bother to wake anyone up,” Caspian explained. “We’re not even asleep that time yet...Annika and I had a really good conversation last night. You should have told her that you were outside. Gosh, I can't even imagine you sleeping uncomfortably in your car,” Jade commented. I sighed. Then again, although I didn't know he was here, there was a
Wife In Contract CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: PINEAPPLE JUICE
ANNIKA'S POV I closed my eyes in anticipation as I waited for Caspian's kiss, and when it came, I almost felt like I was in heaven...or floating on cloud 9. His soft lips brushed mine sensually, gently licking and nibbling. His hands began to touch me, stroking, and caressing every part of my body, leaving it on fire. He kissed every part that was left by his touch, igniting the fire till we both burn with desire. He kissed the valley in between my breasts, earning a soft moan from my lips. I involuntarily arched my back to feel him more. As if sensing my unspoken wish, he cupped my aching breasts with his left hand, while he suckled on the other one.“Oh dear, God!” I cried as pleasure ripped through me. The sensation heightened as he began sucking on my peaks alternately. His right hand traced my skin, until he reached my core, wet with excitement and anticipation. He found my now dripping slit, and without warning, he brushed it with his fingers. He skillfully played with my cunt
Wife In Contract CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: TWO RED LINES
ANNIKA'S POVMy thoughts are racing, and my heart is beating so loud. I couldn't find any explanation as to what happened other than this. Could it be that I'm pregnant?I washed my face, gargled and rinsed my mouth. Caspian is still stroking my back, so gently like I was something fragile or frail that will easily break. His worried eyes held mine for a few good minutes.“Baby? You look pale, are you okay? Should I bring you to the hospital?” he asked.He held my hand, and guided me into the living room. I sat on the couch, still trying to catch my breath. I remained silent as I thought about what happened. The possibility of bringing his child into this world, excites me...but at the same time, it makes me worry. Although we have already decided to forget about the contract, the fact remains that his father doesn't want me for him.It is clear that he wants Caspian to reconcile with Juliette. If he didn't, then I'm sure Juliette will be out of the picture. It doesn't help that she's

CASPIAN'S POV It was a fine summer day, the warm breeze of air kissed our skin as the birds sing along with the melodious song playing in the backgroun. Everybody was dressed accordingly. The guests were chattering, exchanging their curious glances with each other. The beautiful and colorful flowers made the surrounding so magical -- enchanting, just like how I felt with her. I smiled as I watched her walking down the improvised aisle, along with Pachelbel's Canon D filling the place. I still coulnd't believe I'm getting married to her. . .again. I could still remember the very first time I saw her in my office. She was dressed like an old maid. She was always quiet and nervous around me, and I barely even look at her. She seemed too ordinary for me. And yet, something about her eyes caught my attention. She was aloof. Unlike my previous secretaries, Annika never tried to make advances on me. In the last years that she worked for me, she never looked at me as if I was someone inter

CASPIAN’S POV When I was young, I used to believe that we had a perfect family. Many of our friends and relatives envied the kind of relationship my Mom shared with Dad.

ANNIKA'S POVI was up early this morning, watching the two handsome men in my life as they hugged each other tight. The warm golden rays of the sun are slowly creeping in, reminding me that it's a brand new day I should be thankful for. I stared at the boys, uttering a silent prayer to the one above for keeping us safe and bringing us back to each other again. I stared at them, unmoving, as I was afraid I'd lose them in the blink of an eye.Gently, I touched my son's cheek as if making sure he is really in front of me. And when I felt his soft skin on my fingers, a lump formed in my throat as the dreaded memories of the previous day haunted back my mand. I'd lose my sanity if anything happened to him. It will surely be the death of me. And again, I thanked the heavens for not allowing it to happen.Slowly, I got out of the bed, fixed myself and made my way into the kitchen to prepare our breakfast. I immersed myself into cooking while humming a happy tune. It's a day to celebrate. . .

ANNIKA'S POV "Annika!" "Baby!" Jade and Caspian shouted in unison as they rushed towards me, but I didn't falter. I remained kneeling in front of Aries, holding tight onto his pants as I begged for him to let go of my son. "Aries, please. . .don't hurt my son. He doesn't deserve all of this," I begged. I couldn't stop myself from crying. I felt so helpless. . .so useless! I can't save my own son. As Timmy looked down on me, my heart shattered, seeing the fear that's clearly written in his eyes. My heart broke as I watched him struggling to break free from Aries. The cops slowly backed down, repositioning themselves as they strategized on how to take down Aries. Juliette stood frozen to the ground as Aries began to walk backwards, still holding my son while pointing the gun on his head. "Everyone, don't move or I'll blow this child's head!" he warned. My eyes grew huge in fear! I cried so hard as I melted to the ground. Caspian reached out for me and pulled me back up.
Wife In Contract CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO: POOR CHILD
ANNIKA'S POV I felt so anxious. It's been hours since Aries and Juliette took Timmy, yet we still haven't heard an update. Ms. Brown was sent home to rest. Her eyes were swollen from crying the whole afternoon. The management of the school also called to inform us about the repercussions of Ms. Brown's actions that put our son's life in danger. Caspian was pacing back and forth, his eyes couldn't hide the worry and anger that filled him. He was breathing harshly, and I can feel his growing impatience. It's already dark, we're tired, and yet, we couldn't afford to go home without any news about the whereabouts of our son. "I can't wait here anymore. I need to find my son!" he muttered angrily. "I'm coming with you," I stood up and ran to him. Just then, the police officers approached us. "We've already searched around the area, but there are no sightings of them. We've also put a lookout bulletin for them, and alerted the security of the nearby towns. They won't get far, we

You were angry and hurt.""Still. . .I could have been the bigger person. I should have forgiven him a long time ago. I should have talked to him a long time ago. . ." he whispered regretfully.He was vile man. He has done so many terrible things to both us. He has hurt us in many ways.

I instructed Timmy as we dropped him off to school."Yes, Mommy," he replied."We'll come back for you later," Caspian said.Timmy chirped happily as he went inside their classroom to play with his classmates. We stayed for a few moments, and I couldn't help but shed a tear seeing him enjoying his class. I couldn't actually believe that I'm here now. . .that I'm witnessing this moment that I once thought would never happen in my life."Are you okay?" Caspian asked."Yes, I am. I'm just a little overwhelmed. I honestly thought I'd never get to experience this," I said softly.Caspian pulled me to his side and kissed my temple. I closed my eyes in oblivion.

Wife In Contract CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT: CONSUMED
ANNIKA’S POV I closed my eyes, wrapping my arms around his nape as he deepened the kiss. His right hand fell onto the small of my back, holding me closer to his body. He licked my lips and gently nibbled it, provoking an entrance. And when I parted my lips, he immediately slipped his tongue through my mouth. I gasped as he kissed me fervently, tasting every corner of my mouth while his hand began stroking my back in an erotic manner. A soft moan escaped my lips when I felt his hand gently squeezing my bottom. “C-Caspian. . .” I moaned his name. It's been a long time since I felt this kind of sensation. The way his hands expertly moved around my body, leaving each spot tingling with a delicate sensation and igniting a fire in me.
