Love, lies and, secrets 130. A new start
ALICE I used to hear a saying all the time that sometimes when something feels like the end, it can sometimes just be the beginning of a new start for you and all you need to do is just be ready to embrace whatever is coming to hit you. After the emotional roller coaster that I have to go through and after reaching my goal of getting back at Anna and Alejandro for everything that they did to me, I couldn't help but feel kind of empty on the inside but I was trying my best to remain hopeful and positive because I felt like I still had a lot of things that I could end up doing. Anna ended up in a psychiatric hospital where she is being looked after and as for Alejandro, I was successfully able to divorce him and since he didn't sign a prenup with me, I was compensated with half of his properties and I still had the company in my name because I refuse to give it back to him.Alejandro has been trying to get across to me for a really long time now but I refused to grant me any sort of

ALICE "I am so sorry Alice. It's all my fault," my mother cried and I had to pull her back from the hug."It's none of your fault, mother. You did nothing," I told her, wiping the tears in her eyes but she shook her head."It's my fault. I caused all of this. I should have been a better mother. I should have seen the signs and known when things were wrong. I was just being stupid letting them fool me and allowing them to act like some married couple and hurting you more than ever. I'm so sorry Alice," she spoke at length with tears in her eyes and her voice croaky.“It’s not your fault, mother. If we all begin to take blame, then we all have our faults according to Anna. The truth is, maybe this was meant to do from the start. Maybe I should have never gotten married to Al. Maybe I should have never fallen for him but then I did and that’s it. It’s all fine.”I let out a small sigh. “It was difficult for my mother. Maybe I took the punishment too seriously…”I said that in regards to

Love, lies and, secrets Prologue
Anna felt a jolt of electricity run down her spine when Al tweaked her left nipple with his finger, while trailing fleeting kisses from her neck down to her shoulder.She felt a pool of heat form in her core and her panties were already dampened.She still couldn't believe that she was in a hot make out session with a man she only met about an hour or two ago and to her actual surprise, she was loving every second of it.Her eyes locked with Al's for a brief moment and she couldn't help but shiver at the intensity of his gaze. His blue eyes were like a magnet, pulling her closer to him while her heart raced faster than usual and her body felt like it was being set on fire. The good kind of fire.Al leaned closer to her, bringing his face closer to hers and claiming her lips once again. The kiss instantly made her feel over the moon and ecstatic, like nothing in her life could
Love, lies and, secrets 1. It's him
ANNAIt only takes a second for your whole world to turn upside down and leave you in a frantic state as to how it all came down to this in the first place.I swallowed a painful lump in my throat as I stared at the Adonis in front of me. My heart was racing faster than usual and I could barely move an inch from where I stood.It couldn't be him, it definitely shouldn't be him, I tried to convince myself even though it seemed as though reality wasn't in agreement with me.I tried telling myself several times that he wasn't the man I slept with two nights ago.I adamantly refused to believe he was and the reason was because my elder sister, Alice, had just introduced him to me as her newly wedded husband.He was staring back at me with a smile on his face, almost as if he didn't know who I was or
Love, lies and, secrets 2. Perfect Hypocrite
ANNAI managed to lift my head up and just when I'm about to reply to him, Alice chimed in and I mentally thanked her for doing that.I didn't know how to give him a reply without sounding utterly disgusting or even worse, bursting into tears. I didn't know what I was feeling at that moment but I knew there was a lot going on in my head and I had several emotions running through me at this very moment.I wanted to cry for so many reasons and one of them was because I have always been the type to speak out on anything that was bothering me in any way, especially to my sister, who I have always trusted and relied on. I just couldn't handle having to keep quiet about everything and pretend like I was okay when I wasn't. I'm this close to pulling my hair out from guilt."Anna wanted a change of environment for her school so she traveled to an entirely different state an
Love, lies and, secrets 3. Two nights ago
ANNATWO NIGHTS AGO"Pour me another shot of tequila and a shot of vodka please," I requested from the bartender whose brows rose up in a questioning manner as soon as I asked but he didn't dare to ask any questions. At the moment, my only intention was to down as much alcohol as my body could take and thankfully, I had a very impressive alcohol tolerance so getting drunk and completely wasted had never actually been an issue for me."Sure thing madam," I heard him respond, but I'm no longer paying any attention to him at all.I just took a seat and focused on my phone while waiting for the bartender to return with my two shots of tequila and vodka respectively."Is this seat taken?" I heard a deep suave voice ask and I immediately turned my back to check out who it was that owned such a gentle, yet quiet and seduc
Love, lies and, secrets 4. Faking it
ANNAI woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my bedroom door like their entire life depended on it. I let out a loud groan as my head felt it was going to roll off my head anytime soon. I could barely get any sleep at all through the night because I was having difficulty closing my eyes without feeling like my entire world was drowning."Anna, are you in there?" I heard Alice's voice question from outside and I struggled to drag myself out of bed. I wore my slippers that was right beside my bed and walked towards the door to answer her so that she'd finally stop knocking like a crazy woman."Good morning big sis," I greeted as soon as I opened the door and saw her standing in front of the room with her usual sheepish smile. "Good morning sleepy head," Alice replied and I yawned tiredly since I was still feeling very sleepy."Don't you intend on having breakfast sweetie? You've been asleep for so long that I got scared that perhaps, something happened to you. Anyways, get chang
