TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 100
Chapter 100 ANNIKA Tears built up in her eyes, “But… she said I should not show my body to anyone.” she muffled. I shook my head. “It’s just me and you, baby, it’s just us. Okay. And besides, I have seen everything while raising you, so you can show me.” I assured her. She bit her lips and then turned for me to open the zip of her dress. As my fingers unzipped her dress, Sophie's back came into view. Dark bruises, light ones. Marks on her body. “Oh, God.” I cried out, as tears finally rolled down my cheeks. “Aunt Annika? Are you crying? Please don’t cry.” She reached for my hands as tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn't know. I never saw it. I never imagined it. How… can this be possible? “Who did this to you,” I asked. Silence. “Please, Sophie, I beg you, tell me…Tell me who did this.” I pleaded. “She said Dad was going to abandon me. She said it was all my fault and it was my way of paying for ruining their relationship. She said I was to blame for what happened between
TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 99
Chapter 99 ANNIKA The after was hot, hotter than it was supposed to be. I was wearing a sleeveless top, my hair tied into a messy bun. With tailored shorts made by the Hazel fashion brand. Isaiah sat to my right, Hazel to my left. Mr Volkov sat at the front of the table, his wife by his left. Luke sat next to Hazel and at the far end of the table, was Mirable, a warm smile plastered all over her face. “I’m sorry for dropping by unannounced—-” “You’re truly sorry, you should not have come in the first place.” Mrs Volkov snapped, her mood was ruined. My mind instantly replayed everything she told me last night. I can’t imagine what she went through when she saw her son go through all that alone because of a woman. And now that woman is sitting at the same table on her birthday. “Sophie insisted that she wanted me to be here so I could spend some time with her grandparents. Sophie said you are important people to her and she wants us to get along.” Mirabel’s voice, so soft, so broke
TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 98
Chapter 98 ANNIKA My heart skipped a beat, literally. I tapped Isaiah instantly. He gently placed me down. “Stay calm,” he whispered. “How can I stay calm, your mum is behind you. She caught us.” I whispered-yelled, glaring at him. His lips curled into a smile, his index finger tapped my nose playfully. My eyes flickered in disbelief as he turned around. “Mum…” “What are you doing to Annika?” She asked, glaring at her son. “Mum, it’s not what you think, Annika and I are…” Mrs Volkov surged toward him and smacked her son’s shoulder twice. She shoved him aside and grabbed my hands, pulling me away from behind me. She placed me behind her instead, “How dare you! I did not raise you like this.” she snapped. Huh? Isaiah’s eyes flickered, confusion spread all over his face as he stared at his mum and then me. “Mum, I think you have it all wrong… Annika is my..” “Secretary! It doesn't mean you can force yourself on her. You told me you had someone you like. How can you claim you li
TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 97
CHAPTER 97ANNIKANo!No!I am not ready yet.“Uhm, it’s no one, Hazel is just being Hazel.” I turned to her, flicking my eyes at her, hoping she understood my plea to keep it between us for now.“So no one is a couple?” Mrs Volkov asked disappointed. “You two, don’t you think it’s time to get married? I understand that you are both career women but you need to secure a man already and build your family. You know what, Annika, Hazel, I will be setting you both on blind dates so prepare yourself.” She said, with no room for negotiation.Oh no.I can’t go on blind dates. I have a boyfriend.“Annika would not be going on blind dates, focus only on your daughter who keeps eating all my money.” Isaiah sneered, standing next to his mother, towering over her. He leaned and kissed her cheek, “Good to see you, mother.”“What is wrong with a sister spending her brother’s money? Besides, you earn a lot. Who else will spend the money for you? You stingy grumble old man.” Hazel sneered at her brot
TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 96
CHAPTER 96ANNIKA“No way!” Lulu yelled.“So he told you he loved you, that is so sweet, I cannot believe you guys are a couple now.” Chloe chimed in, lying in the hospital bed, looking so tired. She is having a hard time with the baby. She was due last week but her water didn’t break and she wasn’t even close to being dilated. She had been in the hospital since then.“Finally!” Mabel added.I giggled. My cheeks hurt from smiling too much but watching how they react to the news was so funny and beautiful.“I am so glad this is finally out.” Lulu muffled.“Me too.” I cheered. “And he said he doesn’t plan to hide it from anyone but I still feel that with Mirabel in the picture and Sophie ----”“Girl, stop!” Lulu cut me off, I was staring at her through the screen but I could feel the annoyance slipping out of her as she glared at me, “Fuck Mirabel okay. I don’t give two fucks about that bitch. Mr Volkov is your man now. He belongs to you, so act like it. And don’t give me the shit about
TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 95
Chapter 95ANNIKAMy eyes opened, slowly, eyes locked on the ceiling. My sleepy eyes flickered for a minute too long. My hands dragged through the side of the bed but it was cold, as if no one had slept there in the first place.Was it all a dream?The fight? The look of hurt that plastered all over Isaiah’s face when I asked him to go back to Mirabel. The confession, the sex. Was it all a dream?I slammed my eyes shut, my heart stinging from the realization that I had imagined everything in my head. I tried to lift myself off the bed and a massive pain struck my back.Nope!It was not a dream.This pain is very much real.The soreness between my legs is not a dream and these bite marks all over my body, Isaiah did all of this.Isaiah was here. I hurt him and then he came back and confessed his feelings for me and..And we had sex.I peeled myself off the bed, grabbed my robe, threw it on, and stepped out of my room.“Yes, Jerald, I do not want her anywhere near my family, I don’t care

Chapter 75 ISAIAH “Man, calling me at 11pm to drink with you is diabolical, I have a wife and we are in the process of making a kid. Don’t rub your misfortunes on me.” Jerald grumbled as he stepped into the private room. After talking to Sophie, my mind was all over the place, I couldn't stay in

Chapter 73 ANNIKA “You are not going!” Mabel was the first to bark, she leaned closer into the phone and so did the rest of the girls. “But…” “No buts!” Lulu fired. “What if she is trying to set you up? Inviting you to a hotel when you are not even close enough to have tea together? I say this

CHAPTER 1ANNIKA’S POVYou have got to be kidding me!It’s Saturday, why do I have to go to his house even on a Saturday?I grumbled to myself, picking up my coat. I tied my hair into a messy bun, grabbed my car keys, and stepped out of my apartment.The drive to my boss’s house was no less than fo
