ANNIKA’S POVGone? That can't be serious! I shake my head violently, refusing to understand what Jade was trying to say. No! She can't be right! “That's not true, Jade! Tell me that's not true!” I screamed.“Annika, I know you're upset—”“No!” I screamed so loud. My tears began to fall down my cheeks. My chest hurt from the sudden loud and fast beating of my heart. My head spinning from all the things that I tried so hard to ignore. “He's not gone! I saw him open his eyes! It was gray just like his father! He cried! He cried, Jade! He cried!”All of a sudden, everything seemed so vague. I never really understood pain, until this moment. Everything is suffocating me, making it hard to breathe. It felt like the world collapsed on me, and I couldn't lift myself up from this bottomless pit.“Annika, I'm so sorry! I know it's hard to accept it, but that's the truth,” Jade's voice cracked and then, she began crying with me. Her shoulders were shaking violently as she sobbed with me.My tear

ANNIKA’S POV“What are you still doing here?” I asked coldly. I looked at him coldly, ignoring the fact that he stayed under the rain just to shield me. It doesn't change anything anyway.“Let's go, baby. You might catch a cold and get sick. You shouldn't be out here in the rain,” he said softly. He was almost touching me, but he couldn't. He looked at me with pleading eyes — full of genuine care and concern. But I didn't want to go somewhere else. I want to stay with my baby. . .my Silas Timothy. I want to sit beside his grave, sing him a song and maybe. . . just maybe, he would come back to life and hug me. I want to sit beside his grave, and wait until he returned. . .or maybe, until I die. I feel hopeless and lonely. “You can go, Caspian. I don't give a damn if I get sick— or even if I die, I will stay here,” I stubbornly said.Caspian let out a deep sigh. His eyes softened as he watched me. His voice sounded desperate as he begged me, “Please, baby. . . Come with me. Let's get y

Everything was in motion, moving towards the future. . .except me.I used to think that someday, the tears will stop falling. . . or that it won't hurt anymore.

In the last years that she worked for me, she never looked at me as if I was someone inter

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.

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.

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.
