REMEMBER ME?

LIAM’S POVIt had been three days since I last saw Anika.72 whole fucking hours.And in those long hours she never came back to see me, not even once.I was left alone in this hospital room that reeked of bleach and helplessness, counting the ceiling and hoping in vain for her to come back to me.Every time the door opened, my heart leapt into my throat.Every time it wasn't her, that tiny bit of hope died all over again.I knew Anika.Down to the tiniest little detail, and I could even argue that I knew her much more than she knew herself.I also knew that the reason she was not coming back anymore was because she was guilty about something. And whatever that thing was, it was the reason she kept apologizing over and over again three days ago and refused to be consoled no matter how long I held her.This was the worst she had ever cried, she seemed miserable.It didn’t matter how many times I squeezed her hand, or how many times that I tried to remind her how much I loved her.There

STAY PUT

ANIKA’S POV“Here it is.”Simon dropped the divorce papers on my lap like I was something worthless, and not my entire life crashing apart right in front of me.I did not say a word to him, I just stared down at the divorce papers. The black ink blurred in front of my eyes. It felt like a ticking time bomb that was about to implode in my face at any second.It was like all of the promises we had made to each other, was just crumbled and reduced to a stack of paper.My fingers trembled as I reached out to touch it, only to quickly pull my hand away like it had burned me.I felt sick.Simon looked at me through the rear view mirror.“What?”He smirked.“You should cheer up. It is a good riddance in my opinion.”I ignored him.“When are we going to get Liam?” I asked instead.The deal was simple. I divorce Liam and he got Liam out of prison pronto. I was not in the mood for any of this extra chitchat. Not right now, and definitely not with him.Simon laughed.“With you it's always straig

PUT AN END TO THIS

LIAM’S POVI laughed.Because there was nothing else that I actually could do.I knew that someone had it out for me, that much was obvious, but what I did not expect was for it to be him that had it out for me.Out of all people in this world, it just had to be Mr. Smith, Simon’s fucking father.What are the odds?“I helped you!” I spat. “You came to me when you were no less than a rat begging for scraps and I helped you.”That smug look on his face finally vanished completely and was replaced with a blazing fury.The next thing I knew, he raised his hand and backhanded me hard across the face.My head snapped to the side.The tangy taste of blood exploded in my mouth. I spat the blood onto the floor and smiled at him. My teeth were probably stained red from all of the blood and I probably looked like a madman.“Does that make you angry?” I asked.His hand wrapped tightly around my neck.“And tell me, whose fault is it that I no longer had the company, huh, you bastard?!” he screame

LET’S GO HOME

ANIKA’S POV“Simon they are hurting him!” I said again for the umpteenth time.I was way past hiding and keeping my voice low. None of that mattered anymore, not when there were literally five brute men on him, beating him like he was ordinary cattle.He glared at me. “Shut your mouth and stay put,” he said, still angling the camera in their direction.Simon had gotten a live confession from Bree when she was gloating, and that would be enough to prove Liam’s innocence, but other than that, it was like he actually derived some sort of sick pleasure from seeing Liam get hurt.It was the opposite for me.Every blow that landed on his body, it was like I was feeling it… twice as hard.“Simon…”“Anika, I know what you are thinking, wait,” he snapped, grabbing my wrists tightly with one of his hands.I was never going to wait that long anyway, but the second I saw Simon’s father pull out a gun and point it to Liam’s head, I lost all sense of common reasoning.I snatched my hand from Simon’

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME

ANIKA’S POV“Please Simon, I know the deal that I made… I just need seven days with Liam, and once I am sure that he is alright, I will leave,” I said.My throat was burning as I spoke, every word scraping against it painfully. I caught the tears that threatened to leave my eyes with my fingers before they could fall.If Liam was to see me like this, then I could not explain why I was crying to him, and I could not handle lying to him any longer. Every lie felt heavier than the last, pressing against my chest until I could barely breathe.With every lie that came out of my mouth felt like another knife twisting deeper into my own heart.Simon burst out laughing like this was the funniest thing he had heard in a long time.“Doesn’t this give you déjà vu, Anika?” he asked, amusement dancing in his voice.“...”“I also asked you for seven days to win your heart. Now what are the odds?” He laughed even harder, clapping his hands as if he had just told the greatest joke in the world. "How

IF I DID SOMETHING UNFORGIVABLE… WOULD YOU STILL FORGIVE ME?

ANIKA’S POVThere was tension.And it made me feel uncomfortable because before all of this, Felicia was the closest person in the world to me, the one person on this planet earth that I could come to with anything.And I am sure it was the same for Liam.Jonathan was the closest person to Liam as well, and one person just managed to knock down the trust we had amongst ourselves with the snap of a finger. It hurt so much to think about it, and I just hoped that things would get better between us.I could not leave knowing things would be on sour terms.And now, the thought of what I was going to do was already breaking me into shreds.The silence in the room felt heavier than it should have. It settled over us like a thick blanket, making every breath feel difficult. I hated it. These were my people. The people who had become my family in every way that mattered. Yet somehow, we all looked like strangers who did not know how to find our way back to each other.We were sitting in the l

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

LIAM’S POV“I don’t know what to do mum” I said.And yes, I know that I was at work and supposed to be dealing with all the work that was held up in my absence, but here I was complaining to my mother.Shoot me.“What are you talking about son?” my mother asked and I ran a hand though my hair.“I don’t know mum it’s just Anika…”“Trouble in paradise?”“Not exactly, it’s just that it has been a week now since the incident that happened, and Anika is not acting the same anymore. She is so skittish and walks around with this permanent look of guilt on her face. Whenever I try to ask her about what the matter is, it is like she completely avoids me” I ran my hand through my hair.“I know that she is sad mum, I just wish she would tell me why.”What I did not add, even though it was pretty obvious was that the fact of not knowing was eating me alive from the inside out, because if I did not know, then I would not be able to fix it.My mum chuckled a bit “you really love this woman don’t yo

THAT’S THE KIND OF MONSTER YOU ARE

SIMON’S POV“Tell me Anika for how much longer are you going to stay staring at the wall huh?”I asked, it felt like I was losing my mind.All she had done ever since she got here was just stare at the window and cry. Morning, afternoon, night, it was like her tear glands were working overtime, leaking nonstop.She barely moved unless she absolutely had to. She would just sit there hugging herself so tightly that I wondered if she was trying to keep herself from falling apart completely.I would have found the display pathetic if it was not so damn annoying.The room was silent except for the occasional sound of her sniffing or wiping away another tear. Every single tear scraped against my nerves until I felt like screaming.As usual, she did not even bother to reply me, she just kept crying and hugging herself tighter while facing the window.I clenched my jaw."Anika."Not even a peep from her.It was like I did not even exist.I ran a frustrated hand through my hair before turning

YOU HAVE WON LIAM

SIMON’S POVThe next day was no different.I woke up hoping that somehow things would change. Like some kind of miracle would happen and Anika would finally look at me without hatred in her eyes.They did not.I had spent the entire night convincing myself that yesterday had changed something. That maybe after everything that happened after I almost...I shut my eyes.No.I refused to think about it.I just wanted her to see that I was still here. Maybe we could start over. Maybe somewhere beneath all the pain there was still a tiny piece of the woman who used to smile at me. This time there would be no Bree to come between us. No lies. No secrets. I would treat her right.But it was all just wistful thinking.Anika was sitting by the same window, she still had the same distant look in her eyes. And she was crying.She barely moved except to wipe her cheeks.The breakfast Manuel bought sat untouched on the table.Lunch followed the same fate."You really plan on doing this forever?"

I AM GOING TO GET MY WIFE

LIAM’S POV“Seriously Liam, are you going to be this miserable all of the time?” Jonathan asked.Both he and Felicia had been coming over every single day for the last couple of days since I got that damn letter...The one letter that broke my heart into a million pieces and left me moving about the house like a ghost, a hollow shell of a man.Every room reminded me of her. Every corner held memories I couldn't escape from. Even the silence in the house felt different now, heavier somehow, like it knew she was gone.Nothing felt right anymore.The couch where she would curl up with her sketchbook to draw all of her newest designs.The kitchen, she was always snacking on something.The bedroom...I hadn't slept there since she left.“Leave me alone,” I said and took a swig of the orange juice in my hand straight from the bottle.This was fucking nuts, the fact that I could not even drink away from my problems. Ever since what happened the last time that I got drunk, I made a promise to
