TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 102
Chapter 102 ANNIKA The birthday ended on a sour note. Mrs Volkov could not handle the stress, her blood pressure rose and was quickly rushed to the hospital. Mr Volkov reached out to the commissioner again but there was nothing that could be done. The only evidence we had was Sophie’s body but there was no real evidence to show Mirabel actually hitting Sophie. And thanks to her publicity, they couldn’t do much more than allow her to go. We left the villa at dawn, Sophie was still asleep when we left. Isaiah dropped us at the mansion and he left to meet up with Jerald. The nanny went on her knees in front of me, crying her eyes out. Hands clasped together as she trembled, “I’m so sorry, Ms Annika.” She cried. “I know you but it doesn’t excuse the fact that you could have said something to me or to Isaiah. Sophie suffered intensely because you kept quiet about it.” I scolded. Anna is a good girl. She has been Sophie’s nanny for as long as I can remember, hell she has been Sophie’s
TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 101
Chapter 101 ISAIAH The door creaked open, Sophie stood there holding her favorite teddy, tears in her eyes as she gazed at me. She must be so disappointed in me. I had always promised to protect her and yet I was the one who brought in the monster that broke her. How can I even look at my daughter the same way? “Dad?” She called softly, her voice low, barely audible, breaking from whatever tears were left with her encounter with her grandma. “Yes, baby,” I forced a smile. “Can I come in?” I nodded. She walked up to me. I bent over to match her height. Her fingers wiped the tears that remained in my eyes. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, Dad. I’m sorry I hurt you.” I shook my head, “No, Sophie, you don’t owe me an apology, baby. I am the one who failed to protect you. I should be the one apologizing. I’m sorry my love. Please forgive.” I whispered, pressing my lips on her hair. “Grandma told me you don’t hate me.” “I don’t. I have never hated you. You are my Princess, my little
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

Chapter 54 ISAIAH Damien is a six-foot-tall man, dark-skinned, with brown eyes and full, neatly trimmed hair. Dressed well, and he is not an eye sore. If I am to admit it, he is good-looking. Damien has a thing for Annika. Ever since Annika went with me to Chairman Jones’ office, Damien could ba

Chapter 53 ANNIKA “Maths is a very important subject. It defines the way of life. It’s important that you pay attention to your teachers’ explanations in class and if there is even the slightest doubt about a certain topic, do not hesitate to reach out to Annika and me.” Isaiah said, turning to h
TERMS OF AFFECTION Chapter 51
Chapter 51 ANNIKA I am officially tired. My back hurts, my legs hurt, and my whole body fucking hurts. After Isaiah called me to his office, we spent the entire evening there, handling documents while he was in meetings. I completely forgot that Isaiah Volkov is a crooked workaholic who would rat
