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

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

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

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: CHARMED

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

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

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

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

ANNIKA'S POV“Are you sure about this?” Jade asked, her voice was filled with concern.We are currently in a boutique inside the mall to buy a dress for me. I want to look good in front of Caspian's father. I'm not the type of person who dress to impress, but his father is a different case. He doesn't like me, and I need to prove to him that I am worthy of his son.I know he thinks that I will only cause Caspian his downfall, but I am determined to show him that it won't happen. I will never let it happen because our love will make him better and more productive. I will not stop him in pursuing the best interests of their company.

It's a knee-length evening dress in halter style made of velvet fabric, so soft and silky. Upon seeing i

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: STRANGER

ANNIKA'S POVJuliette dropped the news like a bomb, waiting for the perfect timing to explode. I froze. Everything faded as I feel my heart slowly breaking into pieces. My tears fell without warning as I stare at Juliette. I had no idea that this night would take on a different twist.She smirked when she saw my reaction. That was when I realized that people like her have no compassion. There was not an ounce of regret or guilt in her face. In fact, she proudly wears a wicked grin.My whole body is shaking. Pain, anger and disappointment consumed my heart all at once. Caspian is as stunned as me. He didn't speak, or blink after Juliette's revelation.“What? You seemed so surprised, Caspian. Don't you remember that wild night we shated after the Ball two months ago?” Juliette asked, taunting both Caspian and me.I didn't know what to say. I am both angry and in pain. For the last two months, Juliette has not bothered us. I guess, she was just waiting for the perfect time to attack...wit

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: PROMISE

ANNIKA'S POV“Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere...” Caspian whispered as he hugged me tight.His voice was full of concern, however, it only added to the pain I felt. His guilt made the pain and betrayal I felt even more defined. How odd that the warmth from his hug couldn't even comfort me now.I know I should be more understanding about this matter, but I just can't. Juliette needed him. She lost her consciousness. But was it enough reason for him to leave me there? Or forget about me?“Baby... please, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to leave you there. I was just panicking —”“It’s okay. I understand,” I replied, cutting off his explanation. I nodded my head to convince him...or maybe, to convince myself that it was really okay.He stared at me intently, searching my eyes as if trying to examine whether I was telling the truth or not. I looked away because I couldn't stand the intensity of his stare. He knows me. He knows I am not okay with it. Even if I say
