Wife In Contract CHAPTER SIXTEEN: TRAPPED IN A MAGICAL SPELL
Since that day, Juliette made sure to remind me about our conversation every chance she gets. And I hate that no matter how I try to say I'm not affected, the truth remains that every words she said has grown roots into my heart. Doubt started to occupy my heart again...and at times, I begin to question the genuity of Caspian's actions.I just realized how everything between us happened so fast. Yes, I was attracted to him even before I married him. But what about him? Did he feel the same way for me before? Or did his attraction only began when he finally took me?Immediately, my eyes began to water, and my mood became foul. These days, I couldn't help but to wonder why I make everything seem like a big deal. Especially when Juliette visits the office, and she would take time inside Caspian's office. I couldn't help but to get angry...and jealous.There were times when I wanted so bad to barge in, and tell her to leave my husband alone. But whenever she looks at me, and smirks at me,
Wife In Contract CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: UNPLANNED VACATION
ANNIKA'S POVWhen I finally calmed down, Caspian took me to a private beach property, owned by his friend Hunter. The sound of the waves as they repeatedly crashed to the seashore made me feel serene and at peace. We were sitting down on a blanket by the seashore, with a bonfire that kept us warm and cozy. Behind us was a tent that Caspian has set up -- which we will be using to sleep later. Although, there's a villa, we decided to go outdoors for tonight.The night sky was twinkling with stars, and the smiling crescent moon only added to it's beauty and magnificence. The cold wind blew, but I felt warm from the bonfire and Caspian's firm arms that were hugging me from the back while his head was resting on my shoulder.It was an unplanned trip, and Caspian was quick to have our things delivered by one of his men. I closed my eyes and felt the rush of air blowing on my face. I've never felt so happy, carefree and calm in the last few days. Maybe this is what I need, to detach myself f
Wife In Contract CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: LATE FOR DINNER
ANNIKA'S POVIt was still dark outside when I woke up this morning. I stood up, letting the comforter slide out of my naked body. I walked confidently inside the bathroom. Caspian was still sound asleep on the bed. I didn't want to wake him up so I moved around as silently as I could.I washed myself, and brushed my teeth. I then changed into a pair of cotton shorts, and a loose T-shirt. I ponytailed my hair, and then I went into our kitchen to cook something for breakfast.Today's the first day that I will officially become a housewife, and I wanted to make it special. While cooking rice, I brewed some black coffee for Caspian. The aromatic smell of the coffee filled the air, making me smile. I was humming while slicing the vegetables, and meat that I will be cooking. It just felt so good...like this day was bound to be great.A strange comfortable, warm feeling touched my heart as I thought of my incoming days. Waiting for Caspian to be home, preparing his food and his clothes. I'll
Wife In Contract CHAPTER NINETEEN: UNEXPECTED INVITATION
ANNIKA'S POVWhile we eating dinner, I noticed that Caspian was a little bit distracted. He seems to be out of focus, and I often caught him spacing out. He was holding the glass of wine for too long, playing with it as he stared into the city lights. He looked as if he was in deep thoughts, and it bothered me that he seems serious.After a while, he drank the wine in one gulp, and I was quick to refill his glass. “Thank you, baby,” he uttered.I looked at him and decided to ask him, “Problem? Is it about work?”“What?” he asked softly, and then he shook his head, “Don’t worry about it, baby. It's nothing I can't handle.”He then smiled at me before drinking his wine. I shrugged my shoulders, a little bit unconvinced. But when I remember how hard he worked under the company, I felt relieved and proud. I know he can handle anything. He's tough and wise, and he knows how business works. I'm pretty sure his father won't give him the position if he wasn't confident in his capabilities.I l
Wife In Contract 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
Wife In Contract 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
Wife In Contract 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

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
