JUSTIN'S POV:
"Mr. Merchant, now she's out of danger. She's finally got consciousness after twenty four hours of observation. You can meet her. But please not for too long. She needs to take rest and she'll have to stay in hospital for one more day. We will have to conduct different tests to ensure her safety." The doctor said.
"Let's go, let's meet her." Mom was impatient to see her. They all entered inside the room to see her. But... I couldn't go inside. I could see her from the door and what do I say after going there.
She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her forehead was covered with bandage and also her hands had wounds on it.
I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. "Will you just stay here? Won't you go and ask her? How's she feeling?" It was Edward.
"Ahh... You go. I'll come afterwards." I told him and he shook his head in response before going inside the room.
IVANA'S POV:
"My child..." I felt hand over my head. I tri
JUSTIN'S POV:"Rosh, take this diet chart. This is her diet chart recommended by doctor and you'll be preparing all the foods as per the diet plan, understood?""Yes... Yes sir.""Okay, prepare a bowl of mushroom soup right now, she needs to have it before her medicine.""Okay sir."I walked back to room to take shower. When I entered the room, she was sleeping on the bed peacefully."Si... Sir... I can manage on the sofa."I remembered how she had said that. But I can't let her sleep on sofa in this condition at least. Ahhh... looks like I'll have to use the sofa for these few days.I walked to washroom with fresh clothes to take shower. When I came out of shower, Abigail was talking with her."Sister in law, I'll have to go to college at ten in the morning and I'll return at three in the afternoon. Bro will also be in the office cause I heard Edward brother saying that his presence is must for the deal they're planning t
JUSTIN'S POV:I took the pillow and kept it on the other side of the sofa. But something fell on the floor. I turned around and saw a diary on the floor. The first thing I noticed was the line:"THEY BETRAYED US."Betray? All those memories flashed in front of my eyes. Every single moment when I... Leave it... I don't even want to remember it. I don't even want to forget it.This is her diary, the same diary in which she keeps on writing something every night. Why did she write they betrayed us? Who does she mean by us? Mom had told me that she's an orphan... And wait...She was crying that day while writing in it. Just after that, the accident. No... but Abi was the target. Here I was thinking someone targeted Abi because of me. But what if someone tried to hurt Abi to torture her? That has chances as well. What if she herself is in some kind of danger? I'll have to find it out. I'll have to sort this out.I picked up the diary and wa
JUSTIN'S POV:I woke up at six when my alarm rang. I was in my half sleep when I stopped the alarm ring and my eyes landed on her. My eyes got wide to see her on bed but then I remembered everything, also the diary.I walked up to the sofa and placed the diary as it was, just under the pillow. She can't write in this condition so she won't search for it. She was still sleeping, looks like the medicine is really strong.I took a short shower and walked downstairs. Abi also came downstairs and we sat on the dinner table waiting for breakfast. I never used to have breakfast before. But now, it has become my habit."Looks like brother has started having breakfast now a days. Uh huh... Sister in law changed your habit huh?" Abi said with a smirk. How did she know the exact thing I was thinking? I didn't say anything though.Rosh brought breakfast and coffee for us. I ordered him to prepare breakfast for her as per the diet chart. I took a sip of coffee.
JUSTIN'S POV:It's been an hour now and I've already called for five times in the mansion. But no one's picking up the call. Wtf.... Is everything fine at the mansion? Shit... I've had enough now. Now I'm going back to the mansion.I was walking towards the door when Edward came running to me. "Justin, we need to leave now. It's an emergency." I can guess it's really an emergency looking at his face."What's the matter Edward?""Someone has filed fake case against our juice factory. Now the media is creating a scene there. We need to rush."Looks like someone is seeking for death. I have to go. Media always keeps on seeking for a chance to blame and I can't let that happen. So I rushed to factory with Edward.IVANA'S POV:I was sleeping when I heard knock on the door. I was feeling so weak. I somehow managed to say, "come in."Uncle Daniel entered the room with porridge and soup. "Madam, it's your lunch time now. You'll have to
JUSTIN'S POV:I continued reading the diary:"The next day, uncle Victor and aunty Anna came to me in my room and started talking with me."Baby, uncle and aunty have to go out of the country for some work. It'll take us two to three years to come back. It's really urgent and we can't take you there cause it's dangerous. Our enemies will target you. We don't have any child and that is why we always loved you like our own and we can't put your life at risk." Uncle Victor said.I would've believed upon the tears that were forming in his eyes if I hadn't heard them speaking yesterday. I'd have trusted them. But now, I'm so astonished to see how brilliantly this human is acting who is supposed to be my uncle."Yes my child, we love you a lot. We can't put your life at stake. So that is why we're sending you somewhere where you'll have many friends. Who'll be with you all this time when we won't be around you. Don't miss us much okay, we'll keep on call
JUSTIN'S POV:I woke up in the morning and the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was her face. She was sleeping peacefully with her mouth half opened. Who sleeps that way duh. This woman... I closed her mouth slowly.All the things I read yesterday flashed in front of my eyes. She was beaten, she was abused. And this is not done. No, I'm not letting them go. How dare they treat children like that? She needed care, she needed love. She had just lost her parents God dammit.I was thinking all this when I saw her eyes moving. She's waking up. That was when I realised my hand was on her face. What am I doing? Shit... I jolted and stood up from the bed before rushing to washroom to take shower."Why am I doing all this? What is all this happening? Why is her past affecting me so much? Why is my blood boiling thinking about her shameless relatives and those bastards from the orphanage?" All these things were going on my mind while I was under cold shower
IVANA'S POV:I was laying on bed, bored and exhausted when I got a phone call. It was conference call from Miya and Nancy. I was happy to get call from my besties."Hi Iva darling, how are you now?" Miya asked as soon as I picked up the call."Are you okay? How are you feeling?" asked Nancy."I'm quiet good now but bored as well. I'm home alone. Abi has gone to college and will be back only after four more hours." I replied."Yeah yeah, and your dear husband is busy on teaching lessons." Miya said and I could feel satisfaction and happiness in her voice. This kind of surprised me cause she was not impressed with him for forcing me into the marriage."What do you mean Miya?"I asked as I was totally unaware about the lesson she's talking about."You don't know what he's done, do you?" Nancy asked. I was getting anxious. What are they both talking about? What did he do? I just hope everything's fine."Will you two please tell me w
IVANA'S POV:All this time when he was feeding me, a lot of things were going on in my mind.FLASHBACK ONE:"Edward was also saying that he was not always like that." said by Nancy.FLASHBACK TWO:"I'm so happy to see brother taking care of you. He's never taken care of anyone else except us. I'm sure I'll get my old brother back." said by Abigail.This man is so difficult to understand. He behaves cold and doesn't show his emotions but loves his family the most. He seems to be ruthless but does have kindness in him.All I've heard is he was not the same before. If he was not the same, what was he like? Was he... was he cheerful? Was he a happy soul? How would he look like when he smile? Has anyone seen this person ever smile? And if he was not the same before, what made him changed?I don't know why am I thinking about him? Why does my heart wants to know him, to find about him? Why does my heart wants to see the real hi
IVANA'S POV:"Hey where's our birthday boy?" I asked as I entered Gold mansion with my dear husband, who was carrying gifts for our birthday boy."Well He's getting ready and his tantrums! God! I don't know how will he be in future when he's already so naughty and dramatic now." Miya sighed, shaking her head in helplessness."He'll be as charming as his daddy, isn't it Mat?" said Mark, coming down with our little birthday boy on his arms."Daddy, I'm a big boy now. Say my full name. Momma has kept such a sweet name for me, Mateo." said our little cutie pie Mateo in his cute baby voice grinning innocently who's celebrating his third birthday today."Happy birthday Mr. Mateo Gold." My hubby forwarded his hand towards him like a gentleman."Thanks, Mr. Machant" (as in Merchant) he said trying to shake his hand with him but all his attempts went in vain as his baby hand couldn't hold such big hand. Everyone laughed at his little attempt wh
IVANA'S POV:"Aww! Don't cry baby. You're my little angel, aren't you? Please baby, be a good girl now." I was trying to calm my little princess as she was crying continuously since quite a time."Why is my little princess crying? Is she missing Dada?" It was my dear husband who entered the room with that million dollar smile."Yes. Your little princess is crying since so long and she's in no mood to obey her mamma today." I said making a pout. He laughed at my helplessness and took her in his arms."Why is my little princess crying? Is she missing her Dada? Hmm." He kissed on her forehead saying so. And then he started talking to her. "My little baby is looking so beautiful in this pink frock. She's looking daddy's princess." As soon as he said this, she laughed a little making us laugh too."Looks like princess is happy to hear compliment from her Dada. Her mamma would be happy too if her Dada would take a look on her." I said faking my ang
IVANA'S POV:I was sleeping on his arms, feeling his warmth and love. I was sleeping peacefully but then I felt a sharp pain arising on my lower abdomen. I thought the babies kicked again and that's what causing the pain but then the pain kept on increasing.I felt wet on my gown as well. I tried to tolerate that pain but then it was getting too much. I freed myself from his arms and sat on the bed after a lot of struggle. It was getting hard for me to bear the pain.I couldn't bear it any more so I shook his hands with mine with my face squeezing out of pain and screams escalating from my mouth."What happened baby? Are you okay? Is there any pain?" He asked me as soon as he woke up and found me in pain."I guess my water broke." I couldn't say after this cause I was feeling as if I'll forget go breathe if I try to speak anything now."Baby, don't worry. Everything will be fine, everything will be fine." He was trying to console me but I co
IVANA'S POV:I couldn't be more happy than to know that one of my best friend is also going to have child soon. I just wish Miya could also have a child soon. I just wish to see our children growing up together and turn out to be best friends like us.Children, oh yes. What will we have? Daughters or sons? What would he want to have? Will he be happy with whatever we'll have or does he have any expectations? What if he gets disappointed and his love decreases for me?I felt so worried thinking about it. There's no much time left for my delivery. I can get labour pain at anytime soon and thinking about this only is making my heart ache."What is my baby thinking?" I felt his hands snaking around me, his chin resting on my shoulder while he spoke."Nothing." I spoke looking away cause I was in dilemma. Should I ask him or not? What if his words break my heart or I'd say something that would hurt him? I inhaled a long breath as I was tense
IVANA'S POV:I'm living a very happy life with the people I love the most. I'm carrying our babies inside me. Yes, babies. We got to know that we're having twins. But we haven't checked their gender yet cause we want to keep it a surprise.But my babies are giving me a real tough time. They made me feel nausea for whole three months at the beginning of my pregnancy. I would throw up everything that I would eat, except for cake and Ice cream. That too butterscotch. I guess my babies have similar taste with their father.Now I'm finally in my eighth month of pregnancy and my mood, God! sometimes I feel like eating and sleeping all day. Where as sometimes I don't get sleep at all. And that's when he, my dear hubby sings for me and cuddles me tight until I drift to sleep.Sometimes I feel like eating pizza but the moment he brings it in front of me, I want to eat burger. But my hubby never got irritated or showed anger on me. He always smiled and loved
IVANA'S POV:I can't thank my almighty enough for giving me the best family and such a loving and caring husband. I never thought that I'll ever be loved, though I craved for love all my life. But never in my life had I thought to be so lucky to get all these people in my life. My husband who loves me like I'm his everything, my in laws who love me like their own daughter and Abi, who's like my own sister to me. My friends who are more like my family."Hey wifey. You're looking beautiful and I can't take my eyes off from you." My dear husband said hugging me from behind with his chin resting on my shoulder."My husband's looking extremely handsome as well. I think I'll have to put my eye over you now. What if someone lures my husband?" I said looking at him through the mirror on my dressing table."Hmmm. Well you won't have to do all that hardwork baby. Cause your husband has no time to look over other woman. He has got his eyes upon his dear wife."
JUSTIN'S POV:I felt disturbed when I felt sunrays hitting on my face. I didn't want to open my eyes but those sunrays didn't spare my lovely sleep. I moved my hand around my side cause I couldn't feel her in my arms. But wait, why is this side of bed so cold? As if it's empty since long time?I opened my eyes after blinking for some times only to find myself alone on the bed."Wifey...." I called out for her but I got no response from her. I walked towards washroom to check upon her but she wasn't in washroom as well. Where might she go? I was getting worried for her. I dressed up on whatever I saw on the closet as soon as I could.I reached out to door knob to find a note: "I AM WAITING FOR YOU ON THE SAME PLACE WHERE YOU TOOK ME YESTERDAY, COME SOON."What is she up to? I was nearly out of breath for not finding her beside me. I ran out towards the beach as soon as I could, just to find her looking at my way, smiling and waiting for me.I
(MATURE CONTENT AHEAD!!)IVANA'S POV:He was singing for me and all I could do was to stare at him and thank my almighty, for gifting me this man in my life. I couldn't move my eyes away from him and in fact every words that he sang made my heart fill up with emotions.He's the best thing that happened to me in my life. If God would give me a chance, I would ask for the permission to meet him even earlier in my life. He embraced me, making me feel loved and secured. He wiped out tears from my cheeks and that's when I realized that I was crying.He captured my lips with his, showing me the love he has for me in his heart, pouring all his heart. I kissed him back, with the same passion and love.I just love this man with all my heart and soul."I love you." I said when both our foreheads were attached after breaking our kiss."I love you too baby." he too replied me, pulling me even tighter in his embrace."Let's go wifey, it's getting c
IVANA'S POV:We've been travelling since six hours and the jet is about to get landed as per the announcement. I'm super excited to see where we're going for our honeymoon. I've tried all my ways to ask him; by kissing him, by making cute faces but he still resisted. God! I'm so excited to know the place."HUBBY! WE ARE IN MALDIVES!!!!!!!" I screamed as soon as we landed. Wow! We... are... in... MALDIVES! I'm so super excited to see and explore this place."Hubby, how long are we going to stay here?" I just hope he says at least a week or even more for better. I just want to live here and collect memories for my lifetime."A week." he smiled looking at me and I left a breath with a huge smile. Yessss! A week. I'll collect enough memories within these time."Where are we going today? Where will we go first?" I was so excited to explore this place. I just want to run and see each and every corner of this place."Relax honey, we're going go hot
