Chapter 93

Chapter 93 – The Beginning and The End (Anj‘s POV) Sky and I ran excitedly like crazy drunkteenagers to the shore. This was not the night I was planning for because Anya and I wanted toplay in the water so badly, but we couldn‘t because our hands were tied in looking after thechildren. Yet this was much better. Way better.

I grinned as my feet welcomed the white foam from the waves approaching me and did not mindthe ripple of water rocking as my body immersed in the seawater. I held on tightly to

Sky‘s arm, and as the water became more profound, he caught my hands.

“My feet can still touch the sand, you know,” I said, trying to sound confident, but I could alreadytaste the salt water.

Sky was taller than me, so I was sure he could still touch the ground, but he stopped moving forward.He took my hands, placed them on his shoulders, and let me decide what to do, maybe whetherjust to hold or move closer to him.

I chose the latter, moving to him and intertwining my fingers at the back of his neck. My bodyshivered when Sky groped his hands to my waist, pulling me closer to him, our skin almosttouching. Almost hearing the sounds in our surrounding made me realize we were quiet, and noone seemed to start a conversation.

“I‘m gonna die here, Sky, if you don‘t tell me what‘s running in your mind,” I teased him.“ You arescaring me.”

He chuckled. “Ah! You‘re thinking I‘ll bring you farther and let go of you,” he said in a low voice, so sexythat I could not see the threat of getting drowned. “Remember, I‘m a mom of three,” I grinned as I triednot to break our gazes, but my instinct was telling me he had something to say to me, and I would notlike it. “What do you think I‘ll do to you, Anj?” He asked, taking a deep breath. “Drown me here or

disappoint me with something you want to tell me? I don‘t know.” I licked my lips, tasting the salty water.He raised his hand and touched my face. “Let‘s continue our game here, Anj. One truth, one secret.”

I chuckled nervously. “Just drown me and then take care of the kids for me, okay?”

“Let‘s be brave this time, pumpkin,” His fingers traced my face and stopped on my jaw, touching my chin.“I don‘t want to be brave,” My lips quivered as I lowered my head, but he lifted my chin to meet his eyesagain. “I‘m good at escaping, remember?” “Let‘s finish it here, Anj,” he whispered with emotions I couldhardly recognize.

Pain?

Anger?

Sadness?

“You knew...” I fought the tears back as I released a small sigh. I wanted to escape, but I knew I wouldprobably drown before reaching the shore with the tide getting higher. I took a deep breath as I nodded,agreeing with our little game. “One truth, one secret.” It came out of my mouth as a whisper. “Your idea,you begin.” Sky nodded. “I was here last night. It was me who drank the half from the bottle, not you.”

My heart stopped beating, and it took a while before I could understand, but I was in the process ofslowly wrapping my head around the truth that it was not a dream. The conversation we had inside thecloset was real. “It‘s your turn,” he said.

My heart was weeping as I pressed my lips, weighing if it was time to come clean. Then, I thought ofmy children and remembered our conversation this afternoon at the beach. Less for me. More for my

children. “This is where it all began... and this is where it will end,” I choked at my words. “You knew Iwas the Angela you‘re looking for. Is that right, Sky?” His Adam‘s apple moved and nodded. “You‘remy wife. How could I not know? You‘re the only woman who could make my brain go haywire.” Igulped for air and opened my mouth, but no words came. “You brought us here to the island, so I couldnot escape from you until I tell you the truth.” I was not supposed to voice it out, but I was too hurt notto tell him.

He shook his head. “I wanted to spend time with my kids, not miss their birthday for the first time, andbe with you, but last night changed everything.”

“Sister Grace told you everything, didn‘t she?” My scornful laugh was brief, but I could not convincemyself she would do that. He chuckled, shaking his head. “The truth? She made me angry, Anj. All shehas to do is tell me everything, confirm it was you, but I guess, even if I torture her, she won‘t tell me.”I nodded, feeling a sense of relief, but the truth was already scattered in the water, and all Sky had to dowas pick all the pieces and put them together. “I guess I gave myself away,” I smirked and lowered myeyes, not wanting to meet his gaze anymore. I didn‘t want him to read the searing pain because Ipromised myself I would not cry. “Why didn‘t you tell me you were pregnant, Anj?” There was a pain inhis voice. “I was afraid. Whenever I think of coming to you, my courage melted, eaten away when I thinkof you being happy with Lalaine.” I explained, surprised that I was able to say it to him. He heaved asigh, nodding at me as he looked heavenward. I could feel his hands balled into fists, and if he decidedto pull me down underwater, I would understand the anger. “You caused me pain, Anj. You hurt me whenyou left. You killed me when you kept my children away from me. You made a selfish decision of nottelling me the truth, sounding

desperate to ask me to act as their father when in fact, I am their father.”

I sucked my lips in, suppressing a cry because everything he said was true. I closed my eyes, finallyfeeling the cold water that I shivered. I let go of my hands in his nape and floated, not because I couldbut because he was still holding me. “If I came back and told you I was pregnant, what would you do,Sky? When we met again, and I beg you to go to my children‘s activity because they needed a father,what would you say to them?”

He let go of his hold because he knew I could touch the ground already. “You should havestayed!” He gritted his teeth. I laughed bitterly. “If you were here last night, you know the answer tothat question, Sky!” I growled at him. “Why would I stay when you don‘t love me? Do you love me,Sky?”
