ANNIKA'S POVβWhat are you doing here?β I asked. Juliette smirked at me, and then her eyes sharpened. βYou honestly don't think I have no idea of what you're doing, do you, Annika?βHer question caught me off guard. There was obvious disgust and annoyance in her tone, and the way she looked at me told me how much she wanted to murder me in her mind right now.Since I moved out of Caspian's penthouse, I haven't seen Juliette nor heard anything about her. When I told myself that I needed peace and healing, I decided to forget about them. Even when it pained me to let Caspian go, I did it. . .because I believed it was right. With Juliette having a delicate pregnancy, I didn't want to see Caspian getting torn with his choices and decisions. I chose to be the bigger person, and did us all a favor. So, seeing Juliette standing in front of me, with her eyes full of anger is actually surprising.βI know what you're doing, Annika. You're seducing Caspian, so he would come back to you. Well,

For the sake of your child, don't make any more drastic actions, will you?β she pleaded.She's been going on about it for almost an hour already, and it makes me more and more guilty.

I let my anger get to me without thinking about the welfare of my child,β I said, biting my lips out of guilt.Jade sighed and hugged me. βI'm not mad at you. I totally understand how you feel.

You're almost due, you should take good care of yourself! What if something happened to you?βI hugged her tighter to calm her. I felt even more guilty for making her worry.

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

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. . .

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.

ANNIKAβS 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.
