KELVIN"Or maybe you don’t even have a heart to begin with and that should explain your heartless behaviour," I chided.I kept staring at her face to get a reaction from her and see if she was going to seem the least bit remorseful but to my surprise, she didn't seem to care about anything that I was saying and she looked completely by the words. The expressionless look on her face made me wonder if she has always been like this and I just didn't take notice of it. "Since you want to believe that I don't have a heart then go right ahead and believe whatever you want to believe but I'm just going to admit that I don't have one since that's what you want to hear. Now that you've heard what it is that you want to, please let me go and don't come after me. Is that clear?" she hissed and I sighed. "Why did you do it? What pushed you to become this kind of person? I asked and she scoffed. "Are you going to keep asking me this ridiculous question? If you're so curious to know what happen

KELVIN "Enough okay," she cuts me off."Alejandro and I clicked from the first time we met each other in Las Vegas and although it was supposed to end that night, fate just has its way of doing things and we met again but this time as my sister's husband," she explained and I listened attentively. I was listening to her because Alice has been looking forward to knowing the full story between them and now that I was listening to the story from Anna herself, I had every intention of going back to speak to Alice about the things that I heard. "Was that before your sister's wedding or after her wedding?" I asked."It was after her wedding but I didn’t know he was married. We met at a bar. We spoke and enjoyed each other’s company and had sex. It’s not my fault that it happened and he didn’t tell me he was married. I thought he was single so imagine how hurt and confused I was to be reintroduced to him as my sister's husband," she explained to me and I let out a frustrated sigh.I coul
Love, lies and, secrets 118. Refusal
ANNAI was breathing heavily as I stared at Kelvin who held back my hands when I tried to escape from him after trying to just get myself out of his questioning. I hated the fact that he came to me even when he knew that he wasn't going to try to understand me and was only going to keep antagonising me no matter what I said to him. I was already feeling sick and tired of having to explain myself to people and being made the guilty party when I had no control over my feelings and the situation. I pulled my hand away from his hold and I started to scratch my head. The itching started all over again and I was already feeling very uncomfortable and nervous that I'd start itching like a crazy woman in public.Kelvin looked at me from head to toe almost as if he was scrutinising me and I didn't feel comfortable that he was staring at me like that. I'm aware that he knows but I'm pregnant but I still didn't like the fact that he was looking at me like that and I was getting sick and tired

ANNA I sighed deeply as I walked out of the coffee shop. I needed that drink. I was still walking around casually because I didn't feel like going back home yet but then I spotted a familiar car that took me by surprise and it turned out to be Alejandro's car just as I suspected.I haven't been up to date with anything that Alejandro has been up to because I haven't been going to work and it's because we didn't want anyone to find out that I was pregnant and I could no longer hide it from people so I had to stay away from them so they don't question me about the father of my baby. I wondered what brought him all the way here and in the past, I would have known what he was doing here since he used to keep me up-to-date with his schedule but in the last few weeks, he hasn't told me anything concerning his whereabouts and that has been very disturbing for me because it was unusual.Since he no longer tells me what he does or how he spends his day, I figured that since I had the opportu

ALICE"Where have you been, Alice?" My heart skipped when the lights switched on as soon as I entered my room. I had snuck out to go meet Kelvin and thought Anna would be asleep when I came back but here she was in my room while staring at me suspiciously."Hey," I greeted nervously, hoping that I didn't have a suspicious look on my face."Don't hey me, Alice! I searched everywhere for you thinking that something might have happened to you so don't you try to greet me and tell me where you were and why you're coming home this late at night!" she demanded in a harsh tone. "I...I...," I stuttered, trying to think of what to tell her. I was not expecting to get caught like this so I didn't prepare an excuse for myself. A needed to think of something very fast because she can't possibly find out that I have my memories and that I've been meeting with people secretly. "I already suspected that was something off about you that didn't buy the way you behave nowadays and now, I just had t

ANNA"Mom, what brings you here?" I asked as I was surprised to see my mom here all of a sudden. She did not inform me beforehand that she was going to come here so the fact that she was here all of a sudden made me uncomfortable and worried. I walked closer to her and hugged her by the side because I didn’t want her to know that I was pregnant. Thank goodness I had worn a long and big shirt but it still made me worried because mum was very observant and I won't be shocked if she noticed that something was off about me. If Alice the weirdo noticed that I was pregnant then fooling my mother won’t be easy. Could it be that Alice called my mother to inform her of my pregnancy? That crazy bitch and her loose lips.I was feeling so nervous about the entire situation because anything could go down and I have a good idea of how I'm supposed to defend myself if I should get caught. "I came here to check on you girls most especially Alice because I haven't heard anything from her in quite a
Love, lies and, secrets 122. Covering up
ALICE"May I know what's happening here? What's with the look on your faces?" I asked when I walked in to see my mother and sister in a situation that made me confused.Just staring at their faces alone was enough for me to realise that something was going on here and currently, Anna seems quite shaken up and mum kept looking at her with an impatient look on her face. "Alice," Anna called my name in relief and I wondered what it was that she had in mind to say because the way she called my name was definitely not normal and I don't expect her to even act friendly to me especially after what happened between us the last time we spoke."Can somebody please explain what is going on here to me and why you both have such weird looks on your faces?" I asked, directing the question at my mum since I didn't want to speak to Anna. Mom seemed to have a lot on her mind but she finally turned to face me and I walked up to her and gave her a hug briefly to calm her down."Your sister is pregnan
Love, lies and, secrets 123. Answer the question
ALICE I pulled back from the hug. "So mother, what brings you here?" I asked because she did not inform me before coming.For mum not to tell me that she was on our way here, I figured it would have to be for an important reason because she isn't the time to just randomly show up without informing first as she didn't like to show up when we weren't available. "The visit wasn't planned to be honest and I just decided to show up because I wanted to make sure that you were both doing okay," she answered."Anna just informed me a few minutes ago that the situation between you and Alejandro is no longer the case and I hear that you are now closer to him and less uncomfortable around him," she added and I nodded my head."Yes, I'm fine, mother. I no longer feel uncomfortable around him like I used to and I've gotten used to speaking to him quite properly. To be honest, I'm starting to feel a lot better and a lot more normal and I don't think there's anything for you to worry about," I inf
