Wife In Contract CHAPTER TWELVE - NEGLECTED
ANNIKA'S POVI was pacing back and forth while waiting outside the operating room. It has been three hours since the operation began, but we haven't heard from the doctors yet. I'm beginning to feel anxious and worried. Cold sweat broke on my forehead and I wiped it hastily, closing my eyes to utter a silent prayer.“Hey…”I turned around to see Caspian holding a cup of coffee, then he handed it to me. “Drink this. And please, just relax. The doctors are doing the best for her.” He smiled reassuringly at me.“I can't…especially not when I know the surgery’s not yet done. What if she won't survive? What if—”“Sshhhh…” He then gathered me into his arms and hugged me tight. “Everything's gonna be alright. I promise you that. She will make it because she knows you're waiting for her. She'll make it, hmmm.“He kissed the top of my head, and continued whispering comforting words. Soon enough, I found myself relaxing under his touch, and gentle strokes. I sat on the seat provided outside the
Wife In Contract CHAPTER THIRTEEN: POSSIBILITIES
ANNIKA'S POVI took a deep breath and sighed. It felt like I was floating, and my mind was in turmoil. I sat on the couch, waiting for Caspian to go home. It's been five hours since he left his office to follow Juliette, and yet, he has not returned home. I had no idea where they went, but my heart ached at the thought that they were together...or that maybe they're doing something behind my back.To be honest, I had no idea how I went home today. Whatever magic I felt inside Caspian's office earlier, it immediately disappeared. I reminded myself about our contract, but I can't stop myself from hurting. It pained me to think that he could drop me...in an instant whenever Juliette was there.Sometimes, I wonder if all his gestures were true. Caspian made me feel important. He has given me assurance even when he didn't need to. For days, he made me feel special that I thought, maybe I was slowly occupying a space in his heart. Or was I wrong? I don't know.I sighed, and closed my eyes, t
Wife In Contract CHAPTER FOURTEEN: BETRAYED
ANNIKA'S POVI couldn't move. I couldn't explain how I feel, seeing them together. They were just eating dinner, I know that...and yet, it couldn't even comfort my heart. I was hurt.“Hey, let's get inside. I'm starting -- wait, is that who I think it was?” Jade asked in confusion.I nodded my head. I can't trust myself to speak right now. I'm afraid that if I tried to open my mouth, I might end up a crying mess. That's the last thing I want for now.“Shall we go somewhere instead?” Jade asked.Maybe we should. I think we should.“Yes--”“Oh, hi! Annika, right?” I froze when I heard Juliette's voice. Why did she have to see me right before we could even leave?I faked a smile...“Yes, Juliette. It was nice to see you. And you too, honey...”Caspian turned to me. His eyes widened, as if he wasn't expecting to see me there.“Oh, I hope you don't mind. I borrowed your husband for a bit...” she giggled. “I wanted to eat outside, and it would be sad to eat alone, don't you think? I don't hav
Wife In Contract CHAPTER FIFTEEN: CONFUSION
ANNIKA'S POV“What did she tell you?” Jade repeatedly asked.She looked pissed and if only let her, I know she would confront Juliette. But I didn't want that to happen. She's my friend, alright, but she doesn't have to get involved. I know she only cared for me, but I didn't want her to look bad.I shook my head. “Not now, Jade. I don't want any trouble...“She sighed defeatedly. “Fine... I'll let this pass for now. But if it happens again, I will teach the woman a lesson. i don't care who she is, but if she hurts my friend, then she'd an enemy. Promise me...that next time, you will tell me anything that bothers you, Annika. You know you can always share your burdens to me. You're more like a sister to me, and I don't want to see you getting hurt or crying. After everything you've been through, you don’t deserve it.“I nodded my head and hugged her tight. What would I do without her?I wiped my tears, and washed my face. And then, I retouched so it won't look like I cried. My eyes ar
Wife In Contract CHAPTER SIXTEEN: TRAPPED IN A MAGICAL SPELL
Since that day, Juliette made sure to remind me about our conversation every chance she gets. And I hate that no matter how I try to say I'm not affected, the truth remains that every words she said has grown roots into my heart. Doubt started to occupy my heart again...and at times, I begin to question the genuity of Caspian's actions.I just realized how everything between us happened so fast. Yes, I was attracted to him even before I married him. But what about him? Did he feel the same way for me before? Or did his attraction only began when he finally took me?Immediately, my eyes began to water, and my mood became foul. These days, I couldn't help but to wonder why I make everything seem like a big deal. Especially when Juliette visits the office, and she would take time inside Caspian's office. I couldn't help but to get angry...and jealous.There were times when I wanted so bad to barge in, and tell her to leave my husband alone. But whenever she looks at me, and smirks at me,
Wife In Contract CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: UNPLANNED VACATION
ANNIKA'S POVWhen I finally calmed down, Caspian took me to a private beach property, owned by his friend Hunter. The sound of the waves as they repeatedly crashed to the seashore made me feel serene and at peace. We were sitting down on a blanket by the seashore, with a bonfire that kept us warm and cozy. Behind us was a tent that Caspian has set up -- which we will be using to sleep later. Although, there's a villa, we decided to go outdoors for tonight.The night sky was twinkling with stars, and the smiling crescent moon only added to it's beauty and magnificence. The cold wind blew, but I felt warm from the bonfire and Caspian's firm arms that were hugging me from the back while his head was resting on my shoulder.It was an unplanned trip, and Caspian was quick to have our things delivered by one of his men. I closed my eyes and felt the rush of air blowing on my face. I've never felt so happy, carefree and calm in the last few days. Maybe this is what I need, to detach myself f
Wife In Contract CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: LATE FOR DINNER
ANNIKA'S POVIt was still dark outside when I woke up this morning. I stood up, letting the comforter slide out of my naked body. I walked confidently inside the bathroom. Caspian was still sound asleep on the bed. I didn't want to wake him up so I moved around as silently as I could.I washed myself, and brushed my teeth. I then changed into a pair of cotton shorts, and a loose T-shirt. I ponytailed my hair, and then I went into our kitchen to cook something for breakfast.Today's the first day that I will officially become a housewife, and I wanted to make it special. While cooking rice, I brewed some black coffee for Caspian. The aromatic smell of the coffee filled the air, making me smile. I was humming while slicing the vegetables, and meat that I will be cooking. It just felt so good...like this day was bound to be great.A strange comfortable, warm feeling touched my heart as I thought of my incoming days. Waiting for Caspian to be home, preparing his food and his clothes. I'll
Wife In Contract CHAPTER NINETEEN: UNEXPECTED INVITATION
ANNIKA'S POVWhile we eating dinner, I noticed that Caspian was a little bit distracted. He seems to be out of focus, and I often caught him spacing out. He was holding the glass of wine for too long, playing with it as he stared into the city lights. He looked as if he was in deep thoughts, and it bothered me that he seems serious.After a while, he drank the wine in one gulp, and I was quick to refill his glass. “Thank you, baby,” he uttered.I looked at him and decided to ask him, “Problem? Is it about work?”“What?” he asked softly, and then he shook his head, “Don’t worry about it, baby. It's nothing I can't handle.”He then smiled at me before drinking his wine. I shrugged my shoulders, a little bit unconvinced. But when I remember how hard he worked under the company, I felt relieved and proud. I know he can handle anything. He's tough and wise, and he knows how business works. I'm pretty sure his father won't give him the position if he wasn't confident in his capabilities.I l
