All Chapters of Wife In Contract: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ANNIKA’S POVI heard a loud boom inside my chest. For a moment, it felt like the world has stopped turning, my heart ceasing to beat and my feet frozen to the ground. I was unable to move. Juliette’s words were like a bomb that unexpectedly exploded, leaving my thoughts in disarray. I saw how Jade's eyes widened, and her face was immediately filled with confusion. My mind began spinning, taking me back to that unfateful day in the hospital. Unconsciously, a question began to pop out of my mind. “If Juliette’s son died, then who is Timmy?”I stared at Jade, she looked at me with equal confusion as if she was thinking what I was thinking. She held my hand tightly.Juliette and Aries were quiet. It seems like Aries was trying to understand everything, but the way he shakes his head tells me that he doesn't want to accept it. He doesn't want to believe her. “That's not true, Juliette. I know you're only telling me this because you want me to stop. But I won't. . . Not until I get my son.

ANNIKA’S POV After dropping Timmy off to his school, Caspian maneuvered the car to take me to work. Silence hung in the as we were left alone. I took a deep breath, I can feel my heart racing again. It wasn't the first time that I was left with him alone. . .but it has been five years. Our breakup was messy, and I harbored hate for him for years. Yet, as I sit next to him today, I'm beginning to wonder whether I really hated him. . . or was it only convenient to blame him for everything that happened? I shifted uncomfortably at the thought. I haven't given much time to these things before because I was so consumed by the pain. Caspian glanced at me with his brows furrowed. “Are you okay?” he asked with a hint of concern. I looked at him. I realized I never really gave him the chance to explain what happened before. “Caspian?” I asked. He glanced at me again, urging me to speak up before looking back at the road. “What really happened five years ago?” I whispered. It stunned him.

ANNIKA'S POVI couldn't believe how stupid I was. It was clear as a day. I've always wondered why they had so much resemblance, and now that I knew the truth, it seems like everything became so vivid. I finally understood why Aries had so much hate for Caspian. And the same time, I realized that Caspian was probably right. The weight of the truth felt so heavy on me. I wasn't prepared for this, and now it only defines Aries' motive to participate in whatever Juliette has planned. It breaks my heart to know that the person whom I considered to be a friend, was actually not the person I thought he was. Learning the truth made me question all the good things he did for me. I realized why he had been so good to me. . . And that's because he wanted to earn my trust, and he succeeded."I should have told you this a long time ago. . ." Caspian muttered."But I was too angry to listen then. . .so, maybe. . .it wouldn't really matter. I was so angry that I wanted you out of my life. Each time

ANNIKA'S POV It was the longest five days of my life. Day by day, my anxiety grew and I couldn't even understand how I feel. I was scared. . .so damn scared that it made me sleepless. I haven't had enough sleep in the previous days. "Relax," Jade said. "How can I relax? I've been anxious. I am scared, Jade. There's a nagging voice inside my head that tells me to not get my hopes high," I stammered. Jade glanced at me worriedly and held my hands tight. "Annika, just relax. Whatever the result is, you have us. And most of all, even if the result would not be what we hoped it would, Timmy will always regard you as his Mom. He's already in love with you," she whispered. I turned to see Timmy who was playing with my Mom at the front porch. He's been spending time with us since that night. It did not only made me happy, but my Mom as well. I can see the glow in her eyes every time she smiles at Timmy. The boy was the sweetest. He would always hug Mom and kiss him good bye whenever they

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. I felt feverish, my mouth gaped open as I arched my neck to accommodate his sweet lips. “Ooohhh,” I moaned again when he sucked on my neck, gently nibbling on it. Caspian showered my neck with soft, feathery kisses. I felt myself melting under his tou
