Lahat ng Kabanata ng COMEBACK OF THE REJECTED WIFE. : Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 105

~ ANNIKA ~"Good afternoon, Annika," he greeted in a husky voice, approaching me. The nearer he got, the more I felt like I had met him somewhere, but I couldn't, for the life of me, recall where that was. His eyes and face were oddly familiar, even though he had a mask on half of his face.Forcing a smile as I tried not to think of the strange thoughts going through my head at the moment, I sat up on the bed. "I'm good. Just feeling a little dizzy," I responded truthfully, even though my mind asked me to run, to get as far away from him as I could. I frowned, wondering why I felt that way with a man who was obviously a doctor. Otherwise, he wouldn't be dressed as one, carrying a tab."That's good to hear." He ran his hand through his unusually long blonde hair. "We will have to take care of the dizzy aspect, though. As you are about to be discharged, we can't have any complications." He dropped the tab on my cupboard and turned to look at me. "Where did your husband go? Why isn't he

~ ANGELO ~Pinching the bridge of my nose, I glared at my phone, wondering why I didn't ask her to take care of herself. Well, I know. It wasn't like Lissa to sound so scared, and I perceived the thoughts of someone stalking her, reminded her of her foster brother, the one her family adopted before things went awry, and he tried to rape her."Fuck!"

The least I could do for her right now was to seek her out and comfort her.I plopped down on the couch and covered my face with my palms, wondering why everything was happening at the same time. A new business partner terminated the deal I was supposed to sign with their company in Morocco after I left my signing ceremony un

~ ANGELO ~ I had a nurse keep watch over Annika before I left to visit my father. My mum had been calling non-stop for the past two hours, and I knew I couldn't delay it any longer. My eyes were bloodshot as I drove towards our family hospital. I hadn't had a good night's sleep for days, and it was already telling on me. Rubbing my eyes to have it focused on the road, I tried to keep my thoughts far from Annika. I just wanted nothing to make me turn the car around so I could return to her side like I wanted."God," I groaned, blinking to keep my eyes open as I reached for the coffee cup I got at the drive-in.Lissa, like my mum had been calling, and I had ignored it like I did to my mum. I just didn't have the strength to deal with her telling me how scared she was, not when I had more than enough on my plate already. It wasn't like I wouldn't visit her, I would.The problem was: that I had to sort other things out. Like getting to know how well my dad was feeling and all that
