Sandy's POV

The night was serene, just as the cool waves crashed against each other around me. The cool air from the ocean made me feel calm with little goosebumps from the cold. The full moon in the sky illuminated the surface of the ocean, giving the night a glow. The serenity pulled me into deep thoughts until I was distracted by a heavy warmth around my body and an exhale from behind me. I looked down and saw a thick blanket around my body, making me smile.

“What are you doing out here alone?” Anthony said and I went stiff when he caged me with his hands resting on the wooden bow of the yacht.

“I came here to think,” I replied and his arms went around my waist, stunning me as I was certain that there were no paparazzi around.

I gulped and tried to will my heart to stop pounding, so it wouldn't embarrass me. The last thing I wanted was to make Anthony feel that what he does, affected me in more ways than one.

“What are you thinking about?” He whispered and rested his chin on my sh

    Sandy's POV I was now hyped. My interest was now piqued after reading her text. She had information on who did this? I couldn't even wait until the hour she planned for us to meet but knowing she was a busy woman, I knew that I couldn't just meet her outside of the planned time. Which was why I was jittery. I couldn't even wait to tell Anthony about this if she knew who was responsible. It only made me think about the people who could have done this. Was it the board of directors or someone Anthony knew that I didn't?To cut the hours short, I forced myself to take a long nap. Which didn't happen easily until I had two hours left before the appointed time. But I was glad that I was able to take a little rest.By the time I woke up, I was ready to see Angela. I took a cold shower, ate a little and left the house. My drive to the restaurant was a quick one that even at some point, I wondered how I never got pulled over.A few minutes to 3pm, I arrived at the restaurant and made my way

    Sandy’s POV “What do you mean?” It couldn't be true. There was no way that his father would do that to him after Anthony had done everything to please him and not disappoint him.“It can't be,” I said, sitting down. I looked at her closely, trying to pick up any trace of disbelief or joke. There was nothing like that on her face. Gina was serious, with no hint of joking. Gina wouldn't joke about such a thing to begin with.“It's true, Sandy. Ever since we found out that you don't have cancer, he's been getting mails from the company. His father has been calling and asking him how long he's going to keep neglecting his duties… His father also told him he knows the marriage is fake. The point is… Anthony may be kicked out of the company other than just losing the ceo position.”My heart shattered again. All of this was happening all this time and I wasn't aware of it? “Why didn't Anthony tell me about it?”Gina forced a smile on her face and eyed me up and down. “Well, you and him

    Sandy's POV “Sandy.”I stopped in my tracks when I started to walk away from his desk. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before turning around to look at him. I opened my eyes and looked at him.I took my time to look at him. His eyes were looking sunken with bags under them. His hair was tousled and skin slightly pale. He looked different, almost sick. I felt bad that we have been distant and that was because of me. I was battling my emotions and trying to overlook what had happened days ago. I was irritable at the slightest things and I preferred to stay away to not create problems between us. Secondly, I was still salty about the fact that he had told me to relax and not do anything. “What?” I responded.Anthony rubbed his face and looked to the side with a calculative look on his face. He sighed and turned his gaze onto me, making eye contact.“I don't like what is going on between us, Sandy.” He paused. “I've been understanding for days now. I've given you the space that

    Sandy’s POV I was numb at the information given to me. My heart felt like it was pierced with a sharp knife at the words that had come out of her mouth. My lungs tightened and my heart hammered fast and loud. I swallowed down the tension forming in my throat and backed away from Anthony and the nurse. Slowly, I raised my hand to my mouth, covering it as I felt the urge to scream out in pain and anguish. “Here are the results,” the nurse said, handing over some envelopes to Anthony.I turned away and sat down on the chair we had been sitting on. I rested my elbows close to my knees and held the sides of my head. I kept my head bowed as I tried to control the pain in my chest. I lost my baby because of a false report. My baby was gone because of a mistake. At that, I sat up, remembering why I decided to do this. I marched over to where Anthony was standing and grabbed the envelopes from him. “What are we going to do now?” Anthony asked. “I'm shocked by this and–”“I am suing them,

    Sandy’s POV I sniffled for the umpteenth time that evening as I stared into space. I was drained, exhausted and tired. My body hurt from laying on shards of ceramic for hours yet it could not compare to the pain I was feeling in my heart.“I should have waited,” I said again. I have lost count of how long I have said those words since I found out I was cancer-free. I blamed myself for making a hasty decision. I should have waited and at least started the first phase of the treatment before aborting the child. Maybe I could still be pregnant now that I knew the cancer result was false.Something clicked. In that moment, my depressive moment faded. I sat up with a hiss and rose to my feet. I walked over to the bed and sat on the edge, thinking.“The first hospital said that they had a mix up with the result. They most likely took someone else's sample as mine. That someone is the one with the cancer and… it came about the wrong result,” I said, thinking more. “Their mistake was forgiv

    Sandy’s POV I was feeling numb every second that ticked by. My hands and feet were cold, my mouth had an odd taste, my heart was beating slow. I felt sick, almost nauseous. Nothing made sense to me at that moment. I felt as if I had lost so much in the past few days.I lost my baby because of the sudden sickness in me. A sickness I wasn't sure of even surviving. Since the diagnosis by the doctor, I have done my research and the treatment was something that wasn't going to be easy. It was harsh and I saw reasons why I had to abort the baby.I sighed and forced my depressive thoughts away from my head and curled myself under the blanket. I closed my eyes, hoping that I could fall asleep even if it was for five minutes and praying to God that I don't have any more nightmares.Some minutes had gone by and sleep had not come. I opened my eyes and looked around me, taking in the things in the room. I still couldn't sleep. My brain was too awake, filled with too many thoughts of how, what i
