69. The news
ANNA I had so many thoughts running through my mind right now but if there's one thing that I'm certain about, it's that I need to speak to Alejandro about this as soon as possible because I can't possibly keep it away from him for much longer. TO UNKNOWN NUMBER: you have no right to tell me what I can and can't do and if you wanted to expose me, you would have done it immediately without having to send me pictures first and threaten me like this. I know you want something, so you should tell me what it is you want. FROM UNKNOWN NUMBER: If I wanted something, I would have gone to Alejandro instead but it's fine. If by the end of today, you don't assure me that you'll stop messing around with your sister's husband, then, put in mind that I gave you a chance to do the right thing but you refused to take it. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't bothered by his message cause I didn't even want to imagine these pictures getting to Alice. I can already envision the way she would react

70.Hurt
ANNAAlejandro and I haven't spoken to each other in the last three days and at first, I was wondering why we haven't been able to interact like we usually do and I was starting to think that he may have found out that somebody knew our secret but about two days I go, I finally independent why he hasn't been spending any time with me. Alice finally told me her big secret and it turns out that she's pregnant. When I found out, I didn't know how to react to the news because it occurred to me that her happiness was to my detriment. I was genuinely happy for Alice because I know that she has wanted to be a mum for a very long time now but, I was also quite sad because now that Alice was pregnant, Alejandro was going to have an excuse not to see me and it's not like I'm upset because I think he's going to try to avoid me on purpose but knowing the kind of person he is, he was going to give all of his attention to Alice.I had once complained to him that I didn't like the fact that he wou

71. Done with him
ANNA "I don't know what's going through your mind sweetie but you might want to slow down for a bit so that you don't end up choking," Alice said and I scoffed. "I'm not going to choke, so you don't have to worry about me," I told her quickly with my eyes still focused on my food.I had the urge to cry because I was fuming on the inside but I knew that I couldn't cry since I didn't want Alice to start questioning me and I also didn't want Alejandro to see me in such a state. I have never felt so betrayed in my life and for the first time in a very long time, I was feeling rather used and dumped. I can't believe that he had used me and now that he no longer needed me, he was willing to discard me completely and not even acknowledge my presence. "You must be really hungry, Anna," Alice pointed out with a chuckle. In no time, I emptied my plate. "Thanks for breakfast. I'll be on my way to work now," I informed them before getting up from the table. "Why don't you go with Alejandro'

72. Intentions to leave
ANNAIt's been a whole week since I last had a proper conversation with Alejandro and believe me, this week has been one of the hardest weeks of my entire life. I'm trying to learn how to move on from him and also ignore him but it's been very hard having to see him every day and yet, not having any excuse to speak to him because he doesn't give me any. Things between us got much worse after the situation with the text he sent and ever since I responded the way I did, he didn't bother to text me again since then and he has also made sure to avoid any interaction with me as much as he can.I was very upset about the entire situation and the only thing I could think about was leaving that house and leaving his life permanently because I could no longer stand having to see him. Whenever I ran into him by chance, I'm always filled with regret because it feels like he just used me to satisfy himself and I allowed myself to be driven by my stupid emotions and got used. I couldn't exactly

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

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

75. False Accusations
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

76. Being victim (1)
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

77. Being victim (2)
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

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
