My Child's Dad is not my Husband

Chapter 5 - This Is Not Right...

ANIKKA:

"IF I ONLY KNEW you were going to lock yourself in this room, I wouldn't have taken you back here to the Philippines. I should let you stay with your husband." I snorted when I saw Kaye's arms crossed while looking at me as if she was losing patience.

I am currently on the balcony. Sitting on the floor with legs bent and just staring at the beauty of the sea. The sun was shining but the air felt very good because we were on the top floor of the hotel.

I am enjoying myself.

"I am just tired," I answered but that was a lie.

I rested well. But I didn't even sleep well as Trevor was bothering me. I don't want to see him right now since I avoid us having any interaction. It's not good that our paths are still crossing as he always says something that is not good to hear. Especially since I'm already married.

I heard Kaye's deep breathing so I looked at her. "You should enjoy yourself here, Anikka," she said and sat on the floor next to me. "This island will have a celebration later tonight. All guests are invited."

I shook my head quickly. "I don't want to go."

I bought looking back at the ocean not far away to avoid Kaye's evil look.

"What?! Do you hear yourself, Anikka?" she asked me hysterically. It was obvious from her voice that she didn't understand me so I faced her..

"Vitto doesn't know that I am here, right?"

I don't want him to have a chance to ruin me. I don't want to do something against his will because I know I have no escape from him. When I get back to Australia, he will definitely beat me again if he knew that I am here on the island again.

Especially when he finds out that Trevor and I crossed our paths.

After a while, Kaye laughed a little and put her arm around me. "Come on, this is an exclusive island. What happens on this island will forever stay on this island. Don't worry too much. You are safe here."

"Are you sure?" I asked with a frown. I could hardly believe what I heard.

I didn't know about that because Kaye never told me before. All I know is that it's an exclusive place to be wild, but I didn't know that no one can spread information and what is happening here outside, even if it's the most powerful person.

"I wouldn't take you here if I knew you would perish here, okay? So, let's go?" she said then smiled sweetly at me.

I didn't do anything but nodded and agreed to her wish.

After all, Kaye is right. I'm here to enjoy myself. I'm here to rest from Vitto's strangling hand. I'm here to escape my husband's hellish world.

I should enjoy myself.

IT WAS ALMOST SUNSET when I decided to leave the hotel. There is still some sun but it is not that hot. Especially as the night is approaching, the air is getting colder.

I intend to paddle in the sea water to release my stress. Yes, that is how I release my worries, fears and stress. I leaned on the water as if I was getting energy there.

I was wearing a black sexy two piece while the white see-through huge polo was resting on me. My beautiful body screams in that dress. But inside the see-through that I'm wearing, it can see the signs that my life is not good under my husband's power. That is why I chose to go out and paddle the sea at night and in the dark, so that I could hide what needed to be hidden.

However, I enjoyed myself with my confidence even though I was married. I am still me. I can wear clothes I am comfortable with.

Even before I reached the beach, I was surprised to see Trevor approaching me. It was too late for me to turn around and avoid because he already saw me. It looked like he had been looking at me for a while since he wasn't surprised when our eyes met.

He was currently walking away from the beach while I was headed there. He is wearing beach shorts and he is topless! God knows how gorgeous he is and he really has a panty-dropping aura. No wonder, almost every woman on this island wants to be next to him in bed.

I managed myself to calm down and continue going to the sea. He wasn't the reason I went to the beach.

Why did he go to the seashore in front of the hotel where I stay?

I was about to pass him when he suddenly blocked me. I stopped walking because he blocked me.

"I guess we are destined for each other," he said while smiling mischievously.

"We just ran into each other. I am going now." I firmly said and started to walk away but he stopped me again.

I closed my eyes in annoyance.

'Trevor… why are you doing this?'

He laughed sarcastically. "Two years. And you are married now. What the fuck."

I frowned. "What are you saying?"

This time, pain drew in his eyes. "Did you even think of me?"

There's no reason for me to lie. "I do, sometimes."

"Did you miss me?" He suddenly asked. I took a deep breath and averted my gaze. I should stay away from him. He is too dangerous. "Did you miss me, Anikka? Even a little?"

I looked at him emotionlessly and raised my hand where the ring was, the proof that I am already married.

"Trevor, let's not talk about it. Can't you see this ring? I am already married."

He laughed again.

"Well, I do miss you. I miss you every day, every hour, every second," he proudly said as if he couldn't believe that he was saying that.

Why me? Many women flock to him and are ready to pay the management of this island millions for his one-night performance. Why is he still bothering me?

"Trevor, please—" I didn't finish what I was going to say when he spoke.

"I still want to eat dinner with you, Anikka."

Dinner…

I know the dinner he's talking about but that's not possible anymore because I'm married. I swallowed several times.

"I'm sorry. I'm with my cousin." And then continued walking but the third time, he blocked my way.

"How about lunch? Breakfast?"

"Stop it, Trevor," I said firmly. Why does he not want to stop?

"I'll wait for you tomorrow, Anikka. I still want to eat you after dinner—"

"Trevor! I am married." I couldn't stop myself from showing him my annoyance.

I'm married to Vitto. I regret marrying him and I really didn't want to marry that demon. But I have no choice. Never in my life have I had my own decision.

And I hate my life.

"Do you think I care?" he asked.

I breathed deeply. "Well, I do. I don't want to ruin our marriage."

"Does he love you?" His question stopped me. He looked me in the eye but I couldn't take it anymore and I looked away.

Does Vitto love me?

No. He never showed me and made me feel that he loved me. I don't love him either and I can't love him either.

Just thinking that he bought my life from my parents, he is a demon in my eyes. Who is he to buy me like something he saw on display in a department store? Who is he to buy my soul?

However, I didn't want to tell Trevor the truth.

"H-He is." I lied.

"How often does he say that he loves you?"

Never. There is no respect. There is no love.

But I don't want to answer that. Instead, I just took a deep breath and decided not to answer his question.

"Trevor, let's not talk about my husband." I said.

"Does he know that you are here?"

"I am with my cousin," I answered sparingly.

"And you know how the world works here," he said then grinned. "Whether you want it or not, I want you in my bed again. Seeing you naked."

I took a deep breath as he gazed over my body in a sticky and enticing way.

I had to get away while I was still in my right mind.

"Nice meeting you again, Trevor." I said and turned back. If I can't go to the sea anymore, I'll just go back to the hotel room.

"I'll take you to your room."

"No. Please let me go to my room alone."

"Shall I walk you or ride you on my shoulder to my cabin?"

"That's not a good thing to say. I'm going to go ahead of you— ouch!"

He grabbed my arm to stop me. I closed my eyes when I felt the pain because he hit my bruise. I managed myself not to let him see that I was hurting but I failed.

I looked at him and I could clearly see how his eyes were burning with anger. Especially when my see-through was slightly exposed because the wind blew. Trevor's eyes exposed my bruises. It's not that much but it's obvious.

I quickly put on a thin polo shirt.

"Now, say f*****g straight to my face that he f*****g loves you, that he is treating you like a f*****g queen, that he wasn't the reason for those f*****g bruises and wounds!"

I couldn't speak because his voice was so angry. Suddenly, I was afraid of him. Not afraid that he might hurt me. But I was afraid of what he could do because he saw the bruises on my body.

"Trevor…"

Later, he rubbed his face violently using his palm and he looked so devastated. He looks so frustrated.

When he looked at me again, sadness and pain appeared in his eyes and that is when he hugged me tightly. His hand held the back of my head to lean on his shoulder while hugging me.

I was frozen in place and unable to move in shock.

I felt his body against me again and it still feels the same. It still feels the same way two years ago.

His embrace still makes me calm. The beat of his heart that I can feel still gives me peace.

He spoke later while hugging me.

"If he can't treat you like a queen, come to me. Run away with me, Anikka. I will kneel before you, worship you and hail you."

And that is when I accepted his embrace and hugged him back, I closed my eyes to feel his body closed to me.

Trevor… this is not right.
