ANNIKA’S POVAs I walked towards our table, Juliette’s eyes found mind. Her mouth hung open, as if she wasn't expecting to see me there. I tried to ignore her presence, even when I can feel her gaze following me. I sat in front of Aries and smiled nervously.“What took you so long?” he asked. He didn't sound irritated, instead, his voice was laced with concern.“Just a bad stomach, but I'm fine now,” I smiled at him, reassuring him. I didn't mention anything about Caspian, so as not to ruin his mood again.I glanced back to see if he was already back in his table, but I was met by his fiery gaze. He was staring at me angrily, while Juliette looked uncomfortable as he stared at someone. When I followed her gaze, I realized he was looking at Aries. . . who’s attention was fixed to Timmy.

ANNIKA’S POV“Being a mother is not just about having a child, Juliette. Unfortunately for you, you don't deserve to be called a mother. . .or if you are, then you are a terrible mother. I may have lost my child, I may not have the chance to raise him like you do. . . But in spirit, and in heart, I am more a mother than you,” I clapped back, my veins almost popping out of anger. She looked so stunned, until her eyes turned sharp in annoyance.She let go of Timmy and took a step forward, her eyes shooting me a deadly glance.“How dare you—”Before her palm could land on my face, I was quick to block her. Timmy stood behind her, frozen to the ground as he watched us. I feel so sorry for him that he had to witness this, but I'm not just gonna let Juliette hurt me again.“Do not ever think of touching me again, Juliette. You're mad because you know I'm right.

Wife In Contract CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE: HIS SON?
ANNIKA’S POVI started avoiding Aries, yet, he became more insistent. Even if I told him to stop pursuing me, he didn't budge. In fact, he became more adamant to have me that I sometimes feel so uncomfortable around him. It was like seeing a new side of him, a side that I was so afraid to name.He made me go with him in his every transaction, as if it was the only way that he could spend every second of the day with me. He often took me out on dinners, and I would always be left with no other choice but to go with him. I hate it whenever I see his sad face when I turn down his offer. It made me feel guilty and ungrateful.”I'll just go to the rest room,” I told him.We were in a Chinese restaurant for dinner, however, I froze when I saw Caspian, Timmy and Juliette emerging from the front door. I felt a shiver run down my spine when his gray eyes found mine, and our gazes locked for a few moments.I noticed Juliette looking distracted. As I followed her gaze, I realized she was looking

She was stomping her feet out of sheer frustration. I watched her face all the time she said those words, and I knew she was telling the truth. I can feel that she's telling the truth.“But that's not true! You said it yourself, he passed out on you! He couldn't even touch you. . . Let alone kiss you!” Aries turned red. He sounded so confused and frustrated.I couldn't understand a thing, but it seems clear that they had a thing in the past. Something that I couldn't believe.

And though I believed Caspian when he said that nothing happened between them, a part me of broke when I found out about Juliette’s pregnancy.

ANNIKA’S POV“So, you think Caspian did not really cheat on you?” Jade ask as soon as I told her about what I saw in the parking lot earlier.She was looking at me with curious eyes. I took a deep breath, and look away. Jade didn't say another word as she was waiting for me to answer her question. But the truth is. . . I'm not even sure. Maybe years ago, I firmly believed what I was told. But something about what Aries said earlier made me rethink.“I don't know. . . Well, at some point, I didn't think he did. But then. . . Juliette got pregnant. And the child was his. . . ” I replied, my voice beginning to fade.Memories of what happened years ago came rushing back into my mind. The pain. . . The sorrow. . . The betrayal. . . It was like reliving that moment again.“Honestly, I think I believed it too. There was an evidence. But now, I'm not sure either. If Aries says that he passed out on her, and that he couldn't even kiss her. . . Then, maybe. . . He didn't really cheat on you,” sh

Get up now, you have a visitor!” came her voice.I squeezed my eyes shut and covered my ears with a pillow. However, before I could drift back to sleep, someone pulled the pillow away. It was Jade.

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 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

Wife In Contract CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR: I LOVE YOU
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.

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.
