Becky’s POV

What just happened? I screamed in my mind.

A sudden chill flushed over me, and I realized I was still half dressed. Red with embarrassment, I quickly pulled up my sleeves, then sat on the edge of the bed thinking where I had gone wrong.

I had followed Jenny’s advice. She called me earlier in the evening while I was getting set.

“Okay, so what do you want to talk about?” She asked.

“I am moving out in a few days, your aunt has invited me to stay with her,” I began.

“Really? That is great!”

“Do not fuss. I am certain that it was your idea in the first place,” I said.

“No honestly, it wasn’t. I admit I did consider it, but when I brought it up Aunt Sandy told me she had already invited you.”

I was surprised, I had thought Jenny was behind it all along.

“So when are you moving in with her?” Jenny asked.

“On Saturday. But tonight, Phillip has arranged to take me to dinner, and I think he will try to… you know what I mean... kiss me a little more. “I stammered.

    Becky's POV It was an article on a news blog, with a picture attached that showed Phillip having dinner with Celine. I quickly read through the article that talked about them getting back together.“I have no idea why Phillip will be anywhere near Celine? Do you have any clue what he is up to?” Frank asked.I shook my head not trusting myself to speak.Phillip had said he won’t be able to have dinner with me because he would be working late, was this the work? I remembered his odd behavior and wondered if he had been lying to me all along.No, there must be an explanation.” I thought.“Are you okay?” Frank asked with concern.“Yes I am fine. This means nothing. Maybe it is part of Phillip’s plan.”“What kind of plan involves getting back with Celine?”“I do not know, but I don’t think he is getting back with her. Maybe he is trying to get information from her,” I said.“Does not look that way,” Frank said, looking at the picture again. “They look really close.”I handed him back his

    Becky’s POV “What is wrong Rebecca? Have you finally gone dumb?” Celine asked mockingly.Her sharp voice jolted me back to reality. I was surprised and scared by what I had been imagining.“Leave me alone, Celine,” I said, and pushing past her, I ran out of the mall“No matter what, I wasn’t going to let her goad me into a fight,” I thought. If I had known that I would bump into her, I wouldn't have come. I started looking around for a cab. I got one and jumped in. I was halfway home when Frank called me. I had forgotten all about him in my hurry.“Where are you?” He asked.“Sorry Frank, I am on my way home.”“Home? Is everything okay?” He asked, alarmed.“Something came up. Please, I will call you later.”“What? Is it to do with Anna?”“No. I am not feeling so good,” I lied.“Sorry about that. I guess I will see you later.”“Sure.” I hung up, sighing. What was wrong with me? I was thinking all sorts of crazy things. I couldn’t wait for tomorrow, maybe time away from here would do m

    Becky’s POVWell, I couldn’t complain, I had urged him to take the deal, so I had no right to be mad that he had listened. If anything, he should be mad at me for getting him into this mess. “What I want to know is why did you lie to me? You could have told me the truth,” I asked.“I didn’t want to upset you. Besides, like I said, it isn't real. I don’t even know how the person who put it on social media found us there. I tried everything to keep it quiet. I guess Celine must have invited them. Please don’t be mad.”“I understand. I am not angry. After all you are in this mess because of me,” I said sadly.“No. It has nothing to do with you. I would do anything for you. I love you.”“I love you too.” I smiled.“What else did Celine tell you?” He asked.“How much you both love each other. And her dad is planning to get my dad’s company, and make me a cleaner.”“She is lying. Whatever she said is a lie. There is no way they are getting the company.”I know. I don’t believe her. But I d

    Becky’s POVI swallowed nervously as the man who I suspected had trailed me some weeks ago stared right at me. Although he was trying not to show it, I knew he recognized me too.“Excuse me,” he muttered, and walked down the hallway.I watched him go, wondering who he was, and what he was doing here. Did he work for Sandra, or was he here because of me? Or is it Davis that he works for? I shook my head, knowing I was being ridiculous, but I couldn’t help it.I went into the large living room, and sat on the plush sofa, then started looking around.There were a few framed pictures on the wall, mostly of Sandra and her business partners.I went to take a closer look. One particularly held my interest. It was a class photo taken when Sandra was probably in high school. Looking at her reminded me of my class photo, and I smiled. There was a brown haired girl standing next to Sandra. She looked very familiar and I wondered why. Could I have met her at any time? I racked my brain trying to

Sandra looked at me curiously, but said nothing.“Can I see you for a minute Ms. Martins?” He asked Sandra.“Sure. I’ll be right back, Becky.”She followed him into the house.I finished my dessert, more curious than ever to find out who this guy was. I didn’t like his looks, and felt I had to warn Sandra, in case he was a threat.My phone buzzed, and startled me so much that I let out a little yell. But I quickly gathered myself when I saw it was Phillip.“Sorry, I did not call you. I have been with Sandra all afternoon,” I apologized.“That is okay. Have you settled in? Are you enjoying the place?” He asked.

    Becky’s POVI felt my heart fall into my stomach.Sandra noticed my change of expression and smiled.“Don’t be so worried,” she laughed. “What I mean is, you won’t be starting tomorrow like I had earlier intended. That was the head of marketing. I wanted her to create a place for my current PA so that she could step out, and her place would be yours. But she just called to tell me it won’t be possible till Wednesday. So you have to wait a day more. Is that okay?”I nodded, relieved. “Yes. Thank you. I was bothered that you didn’t want me working for you.”“Of course, I do. You have nothing to fear.”We continued talking and enjoyed each other’s company so much that we failed to notice the sun setting, and dusk creeping in until we were called for dinner.After we left the dining room, we sat in the parlor watching our favorite soap opera.“So how do you like your first day with Sandra Martin?” She asked when the show was over.“Perfect. I really enjoyed it.”“Tomorrow. when I get to w

    Becky’s POV“Who must have taken it?” I said to myself, trying not to panic. “Could it be the housekeeper?” But I cannot accuse her without any evidence. I wondered how I managed to be so careless.Then I paused, and smiled at my stupidity. I put my hand in the pocket of my jeans, and pulled it out. I remembered I had put it there and forgotten in my excitement.I sighed, I needed to be more careful. Thank goodness, I hadn’t gone throwing accusations at anyone.I called an Uber and walked around the neighborhood while I waited. It was nice, quiet, and peaceful. Reminding me of the estate where the Dale’s lived.I remembered I had promised to call Jenny, so I dialed her number.“Hello?” She mumbled after the second ring, sounding like she was still asleep.“Hey! Are you still sleeping? It is morning already,” I yelled at her.“Reb? Stop yelling, I have a headache.”“Were you at a party last night?” I asked.“Yeah. A birthday party. I feel awful.”“Serves you right. I can bet you drank

What can I get you?”“Nothing, I am good. I just came to see how you were settling in.”“Great, Sandra is awesome.”He looked surprised. “Really? Well I am happy about that. I was afraid she would be hard to live with.”“No, she is nice.”“And Celine? I hope you have not had any trouble from her?”“So far no. But I am still cautious.”“And Phillip hasn’t told you about his big plan yet?” He asked curiously.“No, but whatever it is, I know he can handle it.”

He won’t. He is just making noise. Come on, let's go pick out your wedding dress.”I winced. I didn’t want to go with her because I knew her very well. She would pick out the thinnest, most expensive dress in the shop and I was right.“No way Jenny. This dress barely covers me,” I protested as she pulled it from the hanger.“So? It is a wedding, and not a funeral dress. This is perfect.”I squinted my eyes, “No it isn’t.”“Try it on and see.”Sighing, I did. It was worse than I imagined.“I need something more covered up,” I said, frowning.We tried a few more dresses, but still couldn’t find the right one.The store assistant asked us to come on Saturday afternoon when a new shipment would have arrived.“Okay, we will be here on Saturday, and I promise to get you a dress,” Jenny said.“I ca

I have to run this place.”“When you come back,” the company’s accountant added. “We will help you hold this place down. Meanwhile, concentrate on your wedding.”Everyone agreed. I didn’t want to, but their suggestion made sense. So I had no choice but to obey.By 3:00 PM that afternoon I was waiting for Jenny at the airport. Her plane was late and l was getting impatient when I saw her coming towards me. “Becky!” She said, hugging me tightly. “It feels like centuries!”“I have missed you too,” I said, putting her bags in the truck.“I have so much to tell you a

    Becky’s POVA week has passed, and I still hadn’t gotten over the shock of my discovery. Phillip tried to help me heal, but I was still upset anytime I thought of how much time I had spent not knowing my real mother. I tried to imagine if she had ever come around to visit. She hadn’t. She just abandoned me.Luckily I had already quit Lenora Fashions, so I didn’t have to go there or see Sandra. She called me almost every day, but I ignored those annoying calls. I wanted nothing to do with her.“Sandra called me. She says she has been calling you, you aren’t picking up,” Phillip said at breakfast one morning.“Why is she calling me? What does she want?” I snapped.“To talk to you.”“She has survived years without talking to me, or even seeing me so why the sudden change?” “Babe, I know you are hurt and angry, but please you have to calm down and talk to her. She is your mother. And she loves you.”“No, if she did, she wouldn’t have abandoned me.”“She does. She didn’t abandon you. Try

    Becky POVI ran as if someone was after me. I didn’t know where I was going and didn’t care. I just wanted to get away. Running, I had only one thing in mind: Sandra was my mother! I had lived with her for weeks and never realized it. Phillip was aware, why hadn’t he told me? Who else knew? I imagined that I had run a few feet, but I was shocked when I saw where I was; in the center of the town. I must have run for an hour, perhaps. My heart and legs ached. I observed around, and noticed a café I often went to across the street. I went in and ordered coffee immediately, eager to calm my nerves, and get hold of the situation at hand.It was unbelievable for me. I preferred to run away because I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I was suddenly very furious. All along I had been living with April who didn’t love me, thinking I was the problem, not knowing my real mom was so close and didn’t say anything. If I hadn’t started asking questions, would she have still kept silent? And why had m

    Becky’s POVOn Saturday afternoon Sandra called me.“Rebecca, how would you like to come to dinner this evening?” She asked.“Yeah, sure but,” I hesitated. Phillip and I planned to go to a movie. “Phil and I have plans.”“I won’t keep you long. I promise. I want to talk to you. It is kind of important.”“Is everything okay?”“Yes. Please come.” She sounded serious.“Okay sure. When and where?” I asked worriedly.“Five in the evening. At my house. I will be waiting for you.”“Who was that?” Phillip asked, coming to join me in the living room.“Sandra. She is inviting me to dinner this evening. I will try to be early so we can move on with our plans.”“Sure.” He joined me on the sofa. “Are you okay? You looked troubled.”“Sandra’s tone speaks of anxiety. I don’t know what it is, but it sounds serious.“Really? Have you told her you are leaving her company?”“Yes, but she said she was okay with it.”“Then relax. I am sure it is nothing. Maybe she just wants to sort a few things out,” he

    Becky’s POVI looked at the door, but did not see anything unusual. I turned back and was shocked to see Phillip on his knees, holding out a sparkling diamond ring.My hands flew to my mouth; my skin turned crimson red, embarrassed by the number of people staring at us.“Will you marry me, Rebecca?” I could hear some people in the background saying, “Awn!” “Say yes!”I didn’t need much convincing. I had longed for this day.“Yes!” I screamed excitedly.He slipped the ring on my finger, and kissed me. Observers clapped while I blushed red.I couldn’t wait to get back to our car.“Phillip! Did it have to be in the public?” I asked, still flushed.“I love you. I want the whole world to know.”He kissed me, then started the engine. When we got home we changed into our pajamas and cuddled together in the living room, while sharing a bottle of our favorite wine.“How would you like our wedding?” Phillip asked as we sipped our drinks.“Something small, but beautiful.”He laughed. “It cannot

    Becky’s POVOr could my mom have been lying to her sister? I didn’t think so. Why should she? I shut my laptop, and began thinking far back. Growing up, I had sometimes wondered if she was really my mother the way she treated me. Now after hearing this, I had my answer. But I needed more. Where would I get them? The only people who could have told me were her and my late Dad. I doubt if she would accept to tell me. I thought of Aunt Helen. Perhaps she knew something, and if she did, would she open up?I decided I will have to visit her and find out. But first, my arm had to heal. I was still sitting in the garden when an emerald green car drove in. I was wondering who it was before Phillip stepped out. He saw me and waved.“Nice car,” I complimented, walking over to him.“Do you think so?”“Sure. I love the color, and I know Anna would love it too,” I told him.“Anna? You think this is for her?”“Isn’t it? You talked about buying her a new car some weeks ago.”“Yeah, but her doctor

    Becky POVI gasped in fear. “What is that?” I asked in alarm.“Relax. Dinner is about to be served,” Phillip grinned.“By setting us on fire?”He laughed. “It is the food that is being set on fire. This is a Hibachi restaurant. We eat and are entertained.”I have heard of such a restaurant, but had never been in one. I watched the chef perform magic tricks, and settled down to be entertained.It was a lot more fun than I had imagined. Phillip fed me the food so all I did was relax and enjoy. When it was over, he drove me to see a movie.“I enjoyed today. Can we do it again tomorrow?” I said.“I will be happy to. Maybe I will find another interesting place.”“How did you find this one?”“I was searching for something to entertain you.”“Why?” I asked teasingly.“Because I love you.” I smiled, and kissed him.“How about we skip the movie and just go home to enjoy each other’s company?” I suggested.Phillip was okay with my request as he said, “Sounds good to me.”It was late when we go

    Becky’s POV“What does it look like?” he asked, nibbling my ear.“It looks like something romantic,” I said, staring at the picnic basket near the swimming pool.“Yep, a picnic by the pool,” he grinned.“Have I told you, you are romantic?” I teased.“No. Never.”He kissed my forehead, then led me to a deck chair. He gently brought out the food from the basket, laying them on the table.“Do you like it?” He asked.“It is cute, where did you steal the idea?”“Steal? No way, I thought it up myself. Are you saying that I am not romantic?”I laughed and learned back in my chair, watching him-- wealthy, handsome, and romantic, I really was a lucky girl.We sat down to our little picnic. “Did you tell Anna I was going to be living here again?” I asked. He looked uncomfortable. “Well I tried to but…” he hesitated.“What is it?” I asked.“Gran doesn’t really remember you,” he said sadly.“What? She does not?” He shook his head.I sighed unhappily. I was sad, but not surprised.“So it has got
