ALINA’S POV

His lips crashed into mine with a desperation that stole the air from my lungs.

For a split second, I froze.

I didn’t want this, not like this, not now, but my body reacted before my mind could catch up. Maybe it was shock. Maybe it was the weight of everything between us. Maybe it was the way his hands trembled, like he was holding on to the last thing keeping him upright.

I hated myself for not pushing him away immediately.

    Alina's POVAfter the talks with josh, Edrick and I drove back home. I needed Aria off my mind. Just fot a while, so, I rushed upstairs to Clover the moment we stepped in. "Mommy!" She hugged me. She was playing save the dolls with Jaime's Spider man toys. "Hello Jaime," I smiled at him. He stared at me for an awkwardly long second before nodding "Hello," he said, barely audible. He looked away as quickly as he looked my way. I let out a deep sigh.I didn't want to think about it, didn't want to push it, but I couldn't help it. "Do you guys want to go out for ice-cream later?" I asked. Clover was nodding, she opened her mouth to say yes, when Jiame interrupted. "Nanny already gave us ice-cream." "Yes she did," Clover added. I forced a smile and a small, "Okay," Left my lips. Just then, the nanny walked in with a bowl of snacks. "Did clover take all of her medicines?" I asked. "Yes ma'am, I made sure of that." Shde ssaid bending to serve the snack. The kid celebrated

    Edrick's povWe got home, but still, my mind had a thousand things going on.Jason, work, Aria...Everything was getting to me at once."I'll go check on Clover," Alina said.She practically flew up the stairs after that, leaving me to myself.I sat on the living room couch, my head resting on my hand."You're back."Hannah's voice interrupted my mini thought session.I raised my head to meet her eyes."I thought you left for work," I said dryly."I did. I just came back early."She sat across from me, her eyes glued to me."What do you want, Hannah? Dad sent you to ask more questions?" I groaned.Her face squeezed into a frown."No," she said. "But you know Uncle wants what's best for us. Right?""And Alina isn't what's best for me?""No!" She almost yelled."The thing is, it's just a lot to take in. Alina and...""Hannah!" I yelled."It's overwhelming, Edrick. She came back from the dead after betraying you! She came back with a child and says it's yours.""Because Clover is mine! S

    Alina's POV“Aria is…” John trailed off.“She’s what?” I asked.I didn’t even know why I had asked to see her.I just wanted to.“She had a breakdown the last time she had a visitor,” John stated.I tried to think.What visitor? Because when we had visited her, she was so composed.Too composed.So why and how did she end up having a breakdown?“Who?” The word left my mouth the moment I got it.Mom.“Your mother,” John said, confirming my thoughts.“We have decided it’s better she stays confined and meets fewer people. We don’t want any more triggers,” he said.I nodded.I wanted to say, “I understand.” But if I did, I would be lying.I rested my head and tried to remember again.My eyes closed. Minutes passed, and still, only the haunting images and sounds came to my head.“Just…”My voice trailed off. I opened my eyes and stared at John.“Just what?” he asked.I swallowed.“I need to see her.”John’s expression tightened.“I already told you, Alina. It isn’t a good idea right now.”

    EDRICK'S POVFinding his old shabby apartment was harder than I had thought. Thankfully, after about 30 minutes of digging, I found it.I walked up the shabby stairs, my legs moving as fast as they could.Room 304.I knocked.Waited.Nothing.I knocked again. This time harder.By the third knock, I was close to breaking down the door.“Who the fuck is that!” he yelled from inside, earning a smile from me.It took him almost a minute to get to the door and unlock it.“Hitting my door just because I owe rent?” he mumbled as he opened the door widely.His eyes met mine.He froze.Confusion, shock, and then fear.All three emotions flashed through his eyes.He gulped.I smiled.He then entered panic mode and tried to push the door and shut it in my face, but it was too late to do that. My hands were already pressed firmly against it, making it impossible to move.“Jason,” I smiled.The more I stared at him, the more the panic grew in his bones. The harder he tried to close the door.Final

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    Can I?

    Alina's POVIt's like the cold intensified the moment Edrick stepped out of the room.I followed him with my eyes and watched until the door shut behind him."Alright, Alina, do you remember the date of your kidnapping?" Detective Harris's question brought back my attention.The date...I closed my eyes, thinking if that would help me remember. But the more I tried, the more I started feeling an ache in my head."It's okay. You don't have to remember," Harris said.My eyes fluttered open."August," I said. "Something in August, towards the end," I added."Uhmm. August." He wrote in his note.Yes, I remember finding out about my pregnancy that same month."So, can you tell me how that day went? How the kidnapping happened?"I gulped, but gave an approving nod.I have already locked up those memories and put them on a shelf that I thought I'd never need to touch.But here I was.This is for justice... For Clover.I reminded myself before starting."I wanted to leave town that day," I st

  • Forced to Marry my Sister’s Fiancée    The Missing Piece

    Edrick's POVI didn't know where to go to or what to even do next.Anna, Anna, Anna...The frustration she was causing me was getting out of hand, from the messy room, to how terrible she looked, to the fact that she was at Adrian's house, wearing his clothes, or the refusal to cooperate."Hey!" Alina called my name. I hadn't realized I had gotten to our room and was even walking past the door."What's wrong?" Her voice snapped me back to reality.I shook my head."How are you?" I asked.She smiled. "Good?" She shrugged her shoulders.Again, she really did look good. Dad's words did not get to her, and I was proud of her for that.But then, I need to warn him never to say something like that to my wife."Edrick, when are we going to give the statements?" she asked as we both entered the bedroom.I let out a breath."What?" she asked. "Is something wrong?"Of course, something is wrong, but the last thing I'd do is add to her problems by telling her."No. I'll speak to John. Just get r
