CHAPTER SIXTY: A PAIR OF GRAY EYES

ANNIKA’S POVThe last five years passed by like a blur. A lot happened in that span of time. I continued working with Aries and we became really good friends. My mom recovered and now enjoys her life with me. It took me a while, but I finally healed from the pain of the past. There were times when I still cried and mourned for my son, especially when his birthday approached, but I finally accepted that he was gone. And that maybe. . . God has a better plan for me, that's why He took him away from me.Jade and Hunter broke up, and I didn't have any idea why. She acted as though it was alright, yet, I could see so many changes in her actions. Gone was the spark in her eyes, and even when she denies it, I can see in her eyes that she's still in pain. Jade never talked about the break-up, and every time I tried to ask her about it, she would immediately shrug it off and change the topic.

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE: MATERNAL INSTINCT

ANNIKA’S POV“Timmy! Oh my God, you nearly gave me a heart attack! Your father will definitely kill me if I lost you!” A middle-aged woman yelled, running towards us and pulling the kid for a tight hug. The horror in her eyes told me she was seriously nervous. She was panting and a sense of relief filled her eyes when she saw the child. “Don't do that again, okay? I'd die early because of you.”The little boy giggled— a sound so sweet like that of a beautiful song escaped his lips, making me froze. “Silly, nanny,” he said.

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO: STILL MY WIFE

ANNIKA’S POV“What happened here?” I asked as soon as I opened the door to Aries’ office.I was greeted by a mess. There were piles of papers scattered on the floor, shards of broken glass and torn documents. I found Aries sitting on the couch, his head was buried on his lap while his hands were on his hair, grasping forcefully out of frustration.Just looking at the surroundings made my head throb. How am I going to clean this all? “That good for nothing asshole!” he whispered underneath his breath, making it barely audible. “He's going to pay for it.”“What's the matter, Aries? Did you and Caspian have a fight?” I asked. Slowly, I bent to pick up the papers on the floor, threw away the torn documents and the broken glass on the trash bin.Aries did not answer me, and it looked like he had no plans of answering anytime soon.“Please cancel all my appointments today, Annika.

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE: NONE OF YOUR CONCERN

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.

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: THE ONLY GUY

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.

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

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.

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.
