Love, lies and, secrets 73. What happened
ANNA A sudden knock on the door woke me up from sleep and I wondered who it was that would come to my room by this time of the night. The first thing I did was check my alarm clock to confirm the time and I let out a frustrated sigh. I walked toward the door and pulled it open and my eyes widened when I saw Alejandro standing in front of my door. He wasted no time before entering my room and closing the door and I stared at him as if he was senile."What do you think you're doing Alejandro? Why are you here by this time of the night?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest."Why did you lock your door?" he asked and I rolled my eyes at his question. "Are you asking me such a foolish question?" I retorted, wondering what had gotten into him. I was already pissed enough at the moment and I didn't need him to upset me even more, so I could only hope that he leaves just the same way he came because I didn't have the energy to argue with him at the moment. "What is with you now, Al
Love, lies and, secrets 74. Distrust
ALICEI couldn't even describe with just words how happy and at ease I've been in the last few days. I wake up daily feeling rather blessed and grateful for how things have been between myself and Alejandro and how happy and at peace I've been in the last few days. I hoped and prayed every day that things remain like this between us because everything was perfect and I loved the feeling of happiness that I derived from how things were at the moment. Sometimes, I would randomly just place my hand on my stomach and I always felt very excited each time because I'm reminded of the fact that a life is growing inside me and I couldn't wait to meet my baby in the next few months. Alejandro and I have been happy because of our unborn baby and to me, this child represented peace and immense happiness because a lot was happening between Alejandro and I in the last few weeks and things became much more peaceful after I announced that I was pregnant. "Alice,"I heard a familiar voice call ou

ALICE "I don't understand what you're saying to me right now, Alex. What do you mean by the fact that you were not with my husband last week? Aren't you supposed to be his driver? Shouldn't you have been with him on his business trip?" I questioned Alexander, who was Alejandro's personal driver. "No Madam, the boss gave me a few days off and told me to spend time with my family. I drove him halfway but he had suddenly stopped me and told me that there was no need for me to keep driving him and that I should go take care of my wife who wasn't feeling well," he explained."Okay then, let me ask you this. When you left with Alejandro at first, were you certain that he was headed to the airport and was leaving for Alaska?" I asked. I know I said that I didn't want to be bothered by this and that I needed to stop worrying myself especially because of my condition but, ever since Theo mentioned that he had seen Alejandro in Beverly Hills, I haven't been able to get the thought out of my

ALEJANDROFuck! Fuck!Fuck!Why in the world did I say something so ridiculous? What was I thinking? I didn't need anyone to tell me that Alice was hurt by the things that I said to her and that was what prompted her to slap me in the first place. I didn't mean to say such mean things to her but it just happened to come out of my mouth and now I feel really bad for the things that I said because it wasn't even the truth. I don't think Alice has ever cheated on me and I doubt that she would ever do such a thing but because I needed a reason to end the topic so that I don't have to keep defending myself, I said what I said and now my words have only seemed to make things much worse. "How dare you say such a thing to me, Alejandro? How fucking dare you!" she hissed furiously and lone tears streamed down her face. "You dare to claim that I'm cheating on you and that the child in my womb belongs to someone else when you know more than anybody else how loyal I am to you?" she asked and

ALEJANDRO "I don't know if you've noticed this, but we are no longer as close as we used to be. Things between you and I used to be so much different than this but now, everything seems so odd and I'm wondering if you've thought of the reason why things are like this between us," I said. I walked toward the bed and sat in a space that wasn't too far from where she was seated on the floor. "I'm scared, Alice. I'm afraid that things between us are going to become so bad especially now that you seem to want to distance yourself from me and I try not to talk about things like this with you because I don't want a situation where you would end up asking for a divorce," I told and she frowned. "What? Why in the world are you even talking about divorce right now?" she asked, sounding very surprised and I like a reaction because it was exactly what I wanted. "It's because of the way you're making me feel right now. Lately, you tend to stay away from me and I know it's because you're suspi
Love, lies and, secrets 78. Tension
ANNAI can already sense the crazy tension between Alice and Alejandro and being between them right now was making the air a lot more toxic and uncomfortable. They both still haven't said a word to each other since I joined them and knowing how weird that is, I couldn't help but suspect that something was off with them. I also noticed that they were kind of avoiding each other and even though I wanted to ask Alice what was going on, I didn't know if I would be doing the right thing by asking her because I don't want to seem like I'm prying into their business. I could easily find out what was happening from Alejandro because I'm sure he'd tell me but regardless, I still had every intention of asking Alice instead because I feel like I needed to hear her side of the story. I decided not to say anything during dinner because I didn't want to make things even more awkward and another reason I didn't say anything was that Alejandro didn't seem like he was in the mood to make any small

ANNA The first thing that I noticed as soon as I opened my eyes was that I was lying on a bed that felt comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time and the entire room was painted white.'What was I doing here?' I asked myself before recalling what had happened to me earlier.I passed out."Oh, thank goodness that you're finally awake, Anna," Alice said as she pulled me in for a hug."How are you feeling? Are you dizzy? Does it hurt anywhere?" she asked and I shook my head. "Can you see me? Are you certain you're fine?" she asked again, taking a look at me from head to toe. "I feel just fine, Alice. You don't have to worry," I replied to her, so she would calm herself and stop being so extra. Thankfully, the doctor walked in right at that moment. "Oh, I see you're awake!" he remarked and I offered a tight-lipped smile. "I do have something to say to the patient but I'm not sure if you'd want me to say this in front of an outsider or if you'd rather listen to it on your own. Wh
Love, lies and, secrets 80. Never ending suspicion
ALICEIt's been three days now since I last spoke to Alejandro and he also hasn't made any attempts to speak to me. He had even gone as far as moving out of your room but I didn't bother going after him or trying to convince him to come back. I just didn't feel the need to do that because to me, his sudden reactions made him even more suspicious and I was having a bad feeling about all of this. It's not like I'm solely going to blame him because I'm aware that I have my faults as well but, he has been acting very differently for a very long time now and his behaviour was starting to bother me. I know that I shouldn't have attacked my day without any concrete evidence and I'm also kind of nervous about all of this because I didn't even know where to start and I also don't know how all of this is going to end. I wondered to myself at some point and asked myself if all of this was worth it because I could turn out to be wrong and Alejandro might not actually be cheating on me but thin
