Chapter 122

ANNIKA

“Oh, my goodness, you look beautiful, my darling.” My mum’s voice, filled with happiness, a little broken, her eyelid filled with unshed tears, tears of happiness, her hands settled on my shoulders, standing behind me, our eyes locked through the mirror sitting in front of me. She leaned and pressed her lips on my layered and packed hair.

My lips spread into a warm smile.

Sitting in front of the mirror, dressed in a sharp V-neck cut, a very expensive lace that Hazel order

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 140

    ANNIKAThe sound of Mirabel’s laughter filled the empty dark room after the call. She laughed so hard, clutching her belly. Her eyes grew wet but she didn’t stop.The sound got blurred out and the only thing that played in my head over and over were the words that came out of my fiancé’s mouth.He was abandoning me.I have never actually placed myself on the same scale with Sophie before, because she is his daughter, she will always be his little girl but still…it hurts…it hurt so much.“What were you expecting?” She asked, “Did you think he was going to choose you? Risking his daughter?”My fist clenched around my dress.“Don’t you get it? Sophie is the bane of our existence, as long as she is alive, Isaiah will never love anyone else. Just like how he abandoned me, he just abandoned you. This is what you get.”“Stop…talking.” I sneered. Sophie was awake, she could hear everything.“Stop running your mouth.” She hissed.She rolled her eyes, “You never learn.” She grumbled.I am never

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 139

    ANNIKABeads of sweat plastered over my forehead as my mind played Mirabel’s conversation, over and over in my head.Did I hear her right?Did my ear play jokes on me?She is going to kill me? And her daughter? After collecting that huge money from Isaiah?The more I recalled, the more absurd it sounded. Sophie is her daughter, a child she bore out of her, how can she harbor such thoughts towards her own daughter?“Mummy?” Sophie’s low voice crept up my skin. She had been glued to me the entire time. Her face buried into my dress, clinging to me.“Yes, baby.” I muffled.“Are we going to be okay?” She asked, her eyes found mine. Her eyelids filled with tears.I wanted to tell her that we would be okay, that Daddy was coming to save us but the words didn’t come out of my mouth, no matter how much I wanted to assure her, I couldn’t find the words.My palms were sweaty, my heart kept thumping hard, my head hurt, and I was scared.I am so scared.“Is Daddy going to come save us?” She whimp

    ISAIAH My fist clenched around the wheel, eyes locked on the locked gate in front of me. My legs pulsed around the accelerator.“Sir…Sir!” the guy called out, I understand why Dante refused to see me, hell, I do not blame him for not wanting to speak to me but I did not come all this way, only to turn back without getting the help I came for. Have it your way, Dante. I hit the accelerator and drove right through the gate, bursting it open. The other guys pulled out their guns, aiming at my car but not a single one of them pulled the trigger, their eyes were glued to the car, guards up but not a single shot was fired. My car halted in front of a group of people gathered at the center of the driveway. Before my car, stood a man, late thirties, sleeves rolled up, gun in his hands, his broad sculpted back turned to me. In front of him, were two guys, kneeling, broken teeth, bleeding head. Barely able to stand on their own. It wasn’t something unexpected. It’s Dante after all. I ste

    ISAIAHThe sound of my mother and mother-in-law whimpering, felt like my heart was being pierced with a kitchen knife, sharp an deliberate. I wish to comfort them but how do I comfort them when my hands are trembling, when I also need comfort and assurance that my wife and my daughter would be okay?The doorbell rang, Anna rushed over to answer it, “Right this way.” I heard her say.In my living room stood the sae detectives who had handled Annika’s accident. Their eyes filled with guilt, “Good evening, Mr Volkov.” He greeted.I glared at him, “Where is my wife and daughter----and Sister?”“Every cop has been mobilized, everyone is searching for your wife, sister and daughter, sir. We just came from the cell where Jake was held.” He explained.“How did he escape?” I sneered.The thought of him being with Annika, after everything he did to her, made my blood boil. What if he tortures her? What if he lays his hands on her….how on earth did he even know where she was? How did he….“He

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 136

    MIRABEL “Who are you?” His voice filled the telephone over my ears. His eyes dark as they settled on me. He lifted his brows, hands on his jaw. “Do not make me ask again.” “The person who is going to get you out of here.” I said to him. His lips curled into a mocking smile, “Beat it. I have no business with you.” he hissed, dragging his finger through his hair. “Even if I tell you, Annika is getting married to the man I am sure she swore to you she had no feelings for?” I mocked. His eyes lit up, brows arched, confusion spread all over his face. Tye man sitting in front of me, separated by a see through glass, full hair, full beard, is Annika’s ex. After I managed to convince Lyon, that Isaiah could give me the money he wants, he allowed me use whatever I needed while providing nothing aside from the guy he kept to watch my every move. “The moment you run, he puts a bullet in your head.” he sneered. Lyon never makes issue an empty threat. “I have no business with kidnapping t

  • TERMS OF AFFECTION   Chapter 135

    Chapter 135ANNIKA My hands spread over Hazel and Sophie, keeping us low enough while the bullet flew across the car. Those bastards didn’t stop. And Jake didn’t stop moving the car either. He drove as fast as he could, rough, trying to ditch them but the more we drove, the more they came after us. “Annika, come take the wheel.” He yelled. “What?”“Come take the fucking wheel, Annika.” What are you trying to do? He bent over, reaching for something, and then he yanked out a gun. Jake had yanked the gun from the cop before kicking him out earlier. “Hazel, do you think you can take the wheel?” I asked, “Jake needs to distract the …” “Yes!” She yelled, crawling to the front seat, she switched places with Jake. As soon as Hazel took over the wheel, she hit the accelerator, driving faster than Jake initially drove. It was as if she unlocked some strange speed. But that didn’t stop those bastards from coming. Jake checked the bullets in the gun, working on it like a professional. W
