********** I lay helpless, tears streaming down my face, as Angelo ravished me. His pleasure was all that mattered. Afterward, I lay still, exhausted, covered in the scent of sex. Angelo caught his breath, his eyes cold and detached. "Today is our last night together," he said. "I want to end this marriage." I felt punched in the gut. "You're willing to throw away everything we've built?" I asked, my voice trembling. "It means nothing to me," Angelo spat, his eyes filled with hate. "I'm done with you, Annika.” ******** Annika's world is shattered when her husband, Angelo, cheats on her with his ex-girlfriend, Lissa, and demands a divorce, ending their four-year marriage. But there's a shocking twist: Annika is pregnant with Angelo's child, a secret she keeps hidden until the divorce is finalized. When Annika reveals her pregnancy, Angelo denies the child, and Lissa pressures her to abort the baby. But Annika refuses to give up, and with the help of Jonathan Blackwood Jr., she escapes to Los Angeles to start anew. Five years later, Annika has transformed into a successful CEO, fashion stylist, and entrepreneur. She's also a proud mother of twins. But her newfound success is fueled by a burning desire for revenge against Angelo and Lissa, who destroyed her life. When Annika confronts her past at a fashion exhibition in Germany, she's faced with a choice: forgive Angelo and Lissa for their betrayal or make them pay for the pain they inflicted. Will Annika choose revenge or redemption?
View More~ ANNIKA ~After the awkward encounter, I chose to pretend it never happened. Fortunately, Angelo's business trip would keep him away for a week, giving me a much-needed break from his overbearing presence. I knew he'd resume his annoying habit of following me around like a shadow upon his return.The highlight of this week was Jonathan's homecoming. I had been counting down the days until his return, and I couldn't wait to spend time with him. As we prepared for our date, Jonathan asked, "Where would you like to go?" His smile was infectious, and his eyes crinkled at the corners as he gazed at me. I couldn't help but be drawn to him.I've always admired Jonathan's good looks, and the way he cares for my kids only adds to his charm. Sometimes, I catch myself imagining what a romantic relationship with him would be like, but I try not to get too caught up in those thoughts. For now, I'm content with the friendship we share, and I'm excited to see where this date takes us.Jonath

Fuck, Annika. How the hell did you go through the five years without sex? Thinking of it now made i decided to change this. Staying celibate isn't for me. I will surely get a man who will fuck my brains out each night. Smirking when he noticed my gaze on his cock, he climbed on the bed and knelt in front of me. "You can touch it if you like." I knew I should have glared at him, and demanded he fuck me and get this over with, but the thoughts of having someth

He placed his hand under my jaw and turned my face towards him. "I like you, Annika. I hope you know that," he said before he forcefully kissed me on the lips. He wasall over me and I couldn't escape from his embrace.I tried to resist by turning my head, but he pulled it back toward him, roughly and shoved his tongue inside my mouth, effectively muffling my protests. I tried to kick and hit him, but all my efforts were in vain, for he was far too strong. He picked me up as if I weighed nothing and carried me to a table. I was too dazed to know where we were. Murmuring some words to me, he sat me down on it."Stop," I begged. "I don't want t
~ ANNIKA ~To distract myself from Angelo's presence, I attempted to mingle with some of the workers, but it wasn't easy. With Astrid absent, I felt like a fish out of water, sipping my drink and trying not to appear awkward among unfamiliar faces. Social gatherings had never been my thing, and the piercing stares from strangers only made me more uncomfortable.Things took a turn for the worse when everyone stood up to exchange pleasantries. To avoid getting dragged into conversations I didn't want to have, I found myself drinking more wine than I should. It became my shield, a way to feign busyness and avoid small talk. By the time I'd met around twenty shareholders and been bombarded by overexcited fans of my work, I was exhausted. The constant smiling had taken its toll on my cheeks, and the polite appreciation for comments on my dress felt like a chore. After downing my sixth drink, I knew I'd had enough, it was time to leave.I stumbled out of the room and towards the restroom,
~ ANNIKA ~"Angelo?" I frowned, stepping out of my house to prevent him from peering inside. With the door closed behind me, I folded my arms across my chest and narrowed my eyes at him, demanding, "What brings you here?" Instead of taking offense, he offered me the bouquet in his hand, tilting his head slightly to the side as a hint of a smile played on his lips. I glared at the flowers, the silence between us growing thick and heavy, punctuated only by the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze.The sweet fragrance of the flowers did nothing to temper my emotions as I fixed him with a hard stare. "Why don't you take it?" he asked again, taking a step closer before freezing when my scowl deepened. "What are you doing here? How did you find out where I live?" I had taken pains to keep my address private, asking Jonathan to secure a building far from the company, one that would be difficult to trace. Yet, it seemed Angelo had managed to uncover my secret with alarming ease."Finding
~ANNIKA~"This wasn't part of the plan, Jonathan," I spoke into the receiver, my annoyance filtering through. "Not only did you let me work alone in the company while you took care of your pressing needs, but you're telling me I need to represent you in the meet and greet?" "I'm sorry, Annika," he apologized, his tone regretful. "I didn't know things would turn out this way, I swear." "Can't you take care of it after the meeting? It's not like your investors will die if you delay it for a day or two?" I plopped down on the couch in the living room, crossed my legs, and gazed over at my babies, who were engrossed in playing with their Legos. "I don't think it can wait, Annika." "But-” I tried to speak."Are you worried about the kids? Someone will be there in an hour to help you look after them while you're away." "You know that's not what I'm worried about, Jonathan. I don't want to freaking attend the meet and greet!" I was almost yelling now, my frustration boiling over.
~ ANNIKA ~ The lunch outing was awkward, to say the least. Despite my explicit warning, Angelo tagged along, causing a chain reaction of clumsiness in Astrid. Her nervousness was palpable as she accidentally knocked over everything, sending dishes and utensils crashing to the floor."I'm sorry," she apologized repeatedly, her gaze fixed on the mess as the waiter rushed to clean up the spill. Her embarrassment was evident in her tone and body language.Just as the situation seemed dire, Angelo intervened, dropping a wad of cash on the table as he stood up. "It's okay, I'll cover the damages," he said, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to Astrid's distress. "Let's move to the other table; it's vacant, and we can start fresh." His suggestion was a welcome respite, and Astrid's gratitude was evident in her relieved expression."I'm no longer hungry," I said, pushing back my chair. I turned to Astrid, who was shrinking into herself, and gestured for her to follow me. "Let's go."
~ ANNIKA ~The moment I stepped into the office, myjaw almost dropped to the floor at the Beauty. It was enough to take my mind off that damned bastard and his slutty girlfriend.The first thing I noticed was the large, richbrown mahogany desk, perfectly polished to a warm sheen. The desk was paired with a comfortable, high-backed leather chair upholstered in a complementary earthy tone.To one side of the room was a plush couch, its cushions a soft, creamy white. They positioned the couch to take advantage of the stunning view through the wall-to-ceiling window, which stretched from floor to top and allowed natural light to flood the space.From there, I could see those walking below, something I was grateful for since it overlooked the car park.Throughout the room, vibrant green plants added a pop of colour and freshness, their pots a decorative complement to the peach hue of the wall.I could tell, undoubtedly, that the decorator put this all in the room. It was so breath
~ ANNIKA ~As I drove out of the school car park, I put my phone on speaker and waited for Jonathan to answer. When he picked up, his cheerful voice filled the car, a welcome respite from the tension I'd just experienced with Angelo. "Hello, darling. Did you miss me?" Jonathan's warm tone was a reminder that not all men were like Angelo, some were genuinely kind and caring. Every interaction with Angelo left me wondering how I could have been so blind to his true nature when we were together, pouring my heart out to him. Jonathan's voice was a soothing balm, reassuring me that there were still good guys out there, ones who treated me with love and respect.I must have been oblivious to Angelo's true nature while we were together. The thought still stung. Lost in my reverie, I was snapped back to reality when Jonathan said my name. "Annika, are you okay? Why aren't you saying anything?" I focused on the road ahead, trying to keep my emotions in check. "I want to leave," I said,
