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 POVCaspian has already left, yet his words continued to echo in my mind. . .like a broken record that kept on playing no matter how I try to forget about it. It was futile! I couldn't stop thinking about him. I was caught off guard when the door suddenly opened. Jade and Mom came in, their eyes roaming around as if they were looking for someone. “He's gone!” I yelled.Mom let out a sigh of relief, while Jade looked at me with curious eyes. She didn't have to say a word, I knew exactly what she wanted to know. She waited for me to say something, but I didn't. Instead, I rolled my eyes at her. They left me with him! How could they do that to me? “You're blushing!” she teased.I rolled my eyes at her, yet I can feel my cheeks heating up from her teasing. “I'm not!” I lied.“Come on, Annika! I'm your best friend, I know you're lying. So. . .what did you two talk about?” she asked, not even bothering to hide her curiosity.I sighed. Well, it's not like she's letting me off the
ANNIKA’S POVJade and I stayed up really late last night. We didn't know who was responsible for the ads, and we figured out that we should just be thankful for whoever it was.The sun was already piercing from the window, but I couldn't bring myself to get up. I am still tired and sleepy from last night, and I can feel my head throbbing from the alcohol.However, I can hear Mom's loud knocking and her shrill voice as she yell.“Annika, come on! Get up now, you have a visitor!” came her voice.I squeezed my eyes shut and covered my ears with a pillow. However, before I could drift back to sleep, someone pulled the pillow away. It was Jade. She sat upright, her hair in a mess and her eyes still half-closed.“Girl, you might want to check it. You know your Mom won't stop knocking, do you?“ she asked in her sleepy voice.I heaved a deep sigh and decided to get up. I just wrapped myself in a robe and opened the door, walking straight into the living room to see who the unannounced visitor
ANNIKA’S POV“So, you think Caspian did not really cheat on you?” Jade ask as soon as I told her about what I saw in the parking lot earlier.She was looking at me with curious eyes. I took a deep breath, and look away. Jade didn't say another word as she was waiting for me to answer her question. But the truth is. . . I'm not even sure. Maybe years ago, I firmly believed what I was told. But something about what Aries said earlier made me rethink.“I don't know. . . Well, at some point, I didn't think he did. But then. . . Juliette got pregnant. And the child was his. . . ” I replied, my voice beginning to fade.Memories of what happened years ago came rushing back into my mind. The pain. . . The sorrow. . . The betrayal. . . It was like reliving that moment again.“Honestly, I think I believed it too. There was an evidence. But now, I'm not sure either. If Aries says that he passed out on her, and that he couldn't even kiss her. . . Then, maybe. . . He didn't really cheat on you,” sh
ANNIKA’S POVJuliette desperately shook her head.“No, Aries. Timmy is not your son! His father is Caspian, and that's the truth. You have to accept it!” Juliette insisted. She was stomping her feet out of sheer frustration. I watched her face all the time she said those words, and I knew she was telling the truth. I can feel that she's telling the truth.“But that's not true! You said it yourself, he passed out on you! He couldn't even touch you. . . Let alone kiss you!” Aries turned red. He sounded so confused and frustrated.I couldn't understand a thing, but it seems clear that they had a thing in the past. Something that I couldn't believe.

ANNIKA’S POVI started avoiding Aries, yet, he became more insistent. Even if I told him to stop pursuing me, he didn't budge. In fact, he became more adamant to have me that I sometimes feel so uncomfortable around him. It was like seeing a new side of him, a side that I was so afraid to name.He made me go with him in his every transaction, as if it was the only way that he could spend every second of the day with me. He often took me out on dinners, and I would always be left with no other choice but to go with him. I hate it whenever I see his sad face when I turn down his offer. It made me feel guilty and ungrateful.”I'll just go to the rest room,” I told him.We were in a Chinese restaurant for dinner, however, I froze when I saw Caspian, Timmy and Juliette emerging from the front door. I felt a shiver run down my spine when his gray eyes found mine, and our gazes locked for a few moments.I noticed Juliette looking distracted. As I followed her gaze, I realized she was looking
