Marcus's POV

If someone will ask me what is the best feeling in the world it would be watching Lillian sleeping peacefully while her head is resting on my arm.

I feel the feeling of home once again when I felt her warmth.

I stared at her face and removed the few strands of her hair that covers her face.

I smiled, seeing how angelic she is. Looking at her brings me peace.

"This view never tires me," I whispered not removing my gaze on her.

After a while, I lowered my gaze and stared at her tummy. There is no bump but I still held it gently and a smile grace on my lips while thinking that our child is in there.

"Hi little one," I whispered so I won't wake Lillian.

"Don't be hard on Mommy okay? Don't make her feel sick. Just be a good baby and once you are outside Mommy's belly I will allow you to be naughty. You can give Daddy a hard time once you came out but now that you are still inside Mommy's tummy, please don't be naughty," I softly whispered.

"What are you doing?"

I cursed as I held the bowl tightly.I felt Marcus' hand caressing my back, and when I turned my head to him, I saw his eyes filled with worry. "I'm sorry, Love."He looked at me apologetically, so I smiled at him and shook my head. "Why are you saying sorry?"Marcus reached for a tissue and wiped the side of my lips. "I feel bad seeing you go through this, but I can't do anything."I couldn't help but laugh seeing how cute he is. He looks guilty.I cupped his face and looked directly into his eyes. "Just stay by my side, that's more than enough, okay?"Marcus stared intently at my face, and then he nodded his head and smiled at me. "I won't leave you, I promise."I smiled upon hearing that, but I don't know what was wrong with me, I feel like I am about to cry again.Worry crossed his eyes again when tears fell from my eyes.

    Marcus's POVFear surged in my system. Miscarriage. One word, but it shattered me into pieces.I felt like I lost my strength, and I feel like dying just thinking of it.When I felt Lillian squeeze my hand, I turned my head to her. She smiled at me as if assuring me that everything will be okay.I let out a deep breath, brushing away the fear inside me, because I needed to be strong for her and our child.I turned my head to Dr Fernandes. "Is she allowed to move around, or is it best if she just stays in bed?""Moving around is fine. It is also advisable for Lillian to walk around as her form of exercise to make her body stronger, but of course, she shouldn't move excessively. Everything should be in moderation. And please make sure that the baby gets proper nutrients," she said, then smiled at me.I somehow feel at ease hearing those words."You shouldn't worry too much, the first trimester is a really risky stage of pregnancy, so you should be extra careful," she added.After tellin

"Love, let's go," I said, pulling her back to reality.She nodded her head and let me lead her out of the house, but before we could leave, Nicholas spoke."The news... is it true?" he asked, anticipation filling his eyes.I fell silent and hid Lillian behind my back, protecting her in case they would think of forcefully taking her from me.Nicholas didn't break off the gaze.

I sat at the edge of the bed and palmed myself, and my eyes unconsciously gazed at my pants where I saw it bulging.I let out a deep breath, trying to think of ways to recover, but all I kept on seeing was Lillian's naked body, and it wasn't helping at all.It wasn't back to normal yet when the door swung open, and I saw Lillian in her silk nightwear, walking towards her vanity mirror with a mischievous look.I immediately turned the temperature of the aircon a bit higher, so it wouldn't be too cold for her.Lillian sat in the mirror, and I could feel her throwing glances at me. Her mischievous smile vanished when she saw me struggling, and it was now replaced with guilt.After a while, she stood up and started walking towards me. My heart started b

When I saw that it is still dark, my eyebrows furrowed, and that's when I realized that he has plans to go fishing with Nicholas.Marcus sat on the bed and held my hand."I'm sorry," he said, looking at me apologetically.My forehead creased when I heard him apologize. "Why are you saying sorry?"Marcus let out a deep breath, then gently caressed my hand."I'm sorry I have to leave you here. I... I don't have enough money to support us, so I have to work,"I could see guilt in his eyes, so I gently held his face and smiled at him."I understand.""You aren't used to this kind of lifestyle, Lillian. I will work hard, I promise, so you don't have to adjust. I will do everything to give you the life that you deserve. It might not be as grand as the life that you grew up with, but I wi

Once she was done, she proudly showed her drawing to everyone before turning to me again.I pinched her cheek, making her giggle. "Good job," I said.After showing them how to draw flowers, I encouraged the kids to draw anything they wanted."Once you're done with your drawings, I'll teach you how to write your names, okay?""Yes, Ma'am," the kids uttered in unison, making my smile widen. As the kids were busy drawing, I stood up and walked over to Marcus.Sitting beside him, I rested my head on his shoulder."Are you tired?" he asked.I shook my head and closed my eyes as the cold wind blew."It's fun teaching them," I replied.I held Marcus' hand and started playing with his finger

You have been found guilty of killing Martha and abducting Lillian.'I let out a deep breath and turned my gaze back on Lillian.

We eloped. He didn't kidnap me...Dad is lying," Lillian butted in between her sobs.I gently squeezed her hand and faced her once again, brushing away her tears and cupping her face.

I asked still having a hard time accepting that she's not Lillian.She slowly nods her head. "Yes Sir," she politely responded.I saw her gaze shifted to Amari. Her gaze lingered before she looked at me again."My Mom left for a while to process some documents for my father's operation so she told me to look after your son for a while.

I ironed it earlier," I said as I got the uniform hanging on her cabinet."Once you're done here head to the kitchen and eat your breakfast okay?" She smiled at me and nodded her head.I stared at her face for quite some time before I smiled back.I always do that whenever I miss Lillian. I always stare at our daughter's face because I can see a glimpse of her in Amari.Whenever I look at Amari it feels like she's still here.

She looks like her and that made everything feel heavy.I tried to act strong in front of her but when her small arms pulled me into a tight hug the tears that I had been suppressing fell non-stop.I cried on my daughter's shoulder, releasing all the pain and heaviness inside me.I thought after crying the pain and heaviness inside my chest would vanish or somehow lessen but nothing happened.My tears already dried out but the pain didn't subside. It still feels too much.When Amari broke off the hug she cupped my face and smiled at me."Let's go home, Daddy. Let's wait for me Mommy in our house.
