Love, lies and, secrets 48. A chat in the kitchen (2)
ANNA I was trying hard not to feel frustrated but I couldn't help but be frustrated by the fact that he was doing something like this to me and was saying things like this to me even after I tried so hard to stop thinking about him and get myself together again. I also couldn't help but wonder if he didn't feel any sort of guilt toward Alice because I was currently feeling so guilty that I was in this position with him but he seemed to be very nonchalant about it. "For goodness sake Alejandro, you are a married man. You really shouldn't be here saying things like this to me especially when you're married to someone else already," I said to him, hoping that you would realise that he was a married man and that doing something like this to my sister was very unfair on his part."You're making it seem like I just got married yesterday Anna. I've been married for a while now but that didn't stop us from being together, did it? Why don't you just give yourself a chance to be happy by ac
Love, lies and, secrets 49. First day
ANNAI could barely get any sleep. I tossed and turned on the bed restlessly, trying hard to find sleep but I couldn't get any because my eyes didn't feel tired and my mind was too heavy for me to get any sleep at all. I recalled my conversation with Alice a few days ago after she had seen Alejandro and I together and it dawned on me again that Alice completely trusted me, especially since she immediately believed what I said without even bothering to ask me any questions at all. I honestly felt like I didn't deserve to have a sister like her and nothing I did was helping my guilt go away. I tried shutting my eyes again hoping that I would be able to fall asleep but as soon as I did that, I was reminded of Alejandro's face again and I couldn't help but groan in frustration. I had to remind myself several times that I needed to get some sleep especially since I was resuming work tomorrow morning but the sleep just wasn't coming and it was making me feel very frustrated. I honestly

ANNA "I sincerely hope you understand me and I hope that you treat me just like you would treat any other employee because that is what is going to make me feel very comfortable and happy at work," I said to Alejandro, hoping that he would get it. "I know I should be used to you by now but sometimes you just amaze me with the things that you do and say and I can't help but notice how very different we both are. If I were in your shoes, I would be more than grateful for the favours that I'm receiving and even though I agree that you don't want to be known for being Alejandro's sister-in-law, I still see no reason why you can't accept a ride to work," Alice said and I rolled my eyes at her. "Like you just said, Alice, you and I are not the same and we can't think the same," I replied."I respect the way you think, Anna," Alejandro said, wearing a proud smile on his face and I couldn't help but be uncomfortable with the look on his face. "I know it's weird that I'm insisting but I do
Love, lies and, secrets 51. At work
ALEJANDROI was deep in thought until I heard a clap in front of me and I immediately snapped out of my reverie, looking up at Mateo who had a concerned look on his face. "Is something going on, Sir l? I just asked you a question but you were completely spaced out. Is there a problem ?" he asked. "I...," I was about to respond but then I looked away from him and my eyes kept unconsciously looking towards where Anna was with people that I presume are her new friends. They were seated on the opposite side of the restaurant where Mateo and I were and I haven't been able to stop staring in her direction ever since I noticed that she was there. Anna returned about three weeks ago and she has also been working at the company for three weeks now and yet, she and I have barely had any conversations at all. I knew that she was avoiding me and even though I tried everything that I could to get her to talk to me, she made sure to avoid me as best as she could and I couldn't help but feel bit
Love, lies and, secrets 52. Surprise at work
ALEJANDRO "Surprise!" I heard a familiar voice squeal and I looked up with a surprised look on my face when I heard Alice's familiar voice. She had an excited look on her face and I couldn't help but smile as well since Alice had very contagious energy. "Well, it's a surprise babe. What brings you here?" I asked, getting up from my seat to meet her halfway and hugging her as soon as I did. "I came here to sneak up on Anna," she responded with a light giggle and as soon as I heard her mention Anna's name, my heart skipped a beat. I'm just suddenly reminded of the situation I was in with Anna and how Anna had been torturing me by avoiding me and making things between us very awkward. As much as Anna tried to hide it, I could tell that she was fighting hard to avoid me and the more she ran away from me, the more I realised that she felt the same way that I felt but was only scared of admitting her feelings for me and allowed things between us to just work out. "I can understand tha
Love, lies and, secrets 53. Disturbed
ALICEI was currently at an art gallery with my best friend, Summer Hathaway. Summer and I have been best friends since I could remember and she was the only person that I could confide in whenever anything was bothering me. The reason I decided to visit an art gallery with her was that I needed to talk to her and I felt like she was the only person that could make me say the things that I felt on the inside. "I don't know if I'm wrong, but I'm starting to feel like something weird is going on with you and you're not looking like the Alice that I know. Is there a problem or am I mistaken?" Summer asked, and I'm glad that she did because I wouldn't have had the courage to speak up first if she hadn't asked me. I have been quite bothered about a lot of things in the last few weeks and I haven't been able to act like my usual self because of how stressed out and how upset I've been. Usually, I enjoyed being around art and I loved interpreting artworks according to how I perceived them
Love, lies and, secrets 54. Relieved
ALICE "I don't know what to tell you right now but you do realise that's a very bold accusation, right? If it turns out that you're wrong, this accusation could lead to a misunderstanding between both of you, you know that right?" she asked. "I know that Summer but it's just how I feel and I can't help it. I'm starting to feel alone in my own home because my husband doesn't do anything with me anymore. He barely ever touches me or makes out with me anymore and whenever I try to talk, he uses work as an excuse not to talk to me. He just nods his head to whatever I say and I just have a very strong feeling that he's no longer excited to be around me and that I bore him," I told her honestly as tears started to stream down my face. I honestly hated the way I was feeling right now because it was so frustrating. The fact that I could end up losing Alejandro, who I considered my world and the most important thing in my life, scared me to no end and I was feeling so frustrated, confused a
Love, lies and, secrets 55. Reprimand
ANNAI watched as Alice and Alejandro stood side-by-side with wide smiles on their faces. They kept whispering to each other and I couldn't help but stare at them since watching them made me feel slightly jealous and uncomfortable. Today, the company was celebrating its anniversary and people from different parts of the country were here to celebrate with them. Since Alejandro's family is quite famous and renowned, there were so many prestigious people at the party and it was kind of intimidating and I felt slightly out of place. I was also feeling jealous of the fact that Alejandro and Alice were together and I hated the fact that people around recognised them as a couple and I had to watch everyone else praise them and admire them. I was also upset because of the last conversation that Alejandro and I had and how we haven't been able to complete our conversation since Alice interrupted us the last time. We haven't spoken to each other since then and earlier today, we were finally
