Becky’s POV

I 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

    Becky’s POVThe man I had seen earlier came up to us. Even though he doesn’t even glance at me, I felt myself grow pale. 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

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.

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.”

I hope you are not hurt?”“I am fine,” I mumbled, wondering what he was up to.“You are Ms. Martin's new PA, how do you like the job?”“Fine, thanks.”“I can see that. Since you are already bringing up ideas, you will soon become the CEO,” he said, slightly mockingly.“And may I know who you are?” I asked.“I was her PA before you came along, but I now work in another department. I am not sore though, I am sure you will do a great job.”His fake smile didn’t fool me. I knew he was angry because I had taken his job.We saw Sandra walking towards us.“I will see you around,” he said, and walked away.“First day on the job, and I have already made an enemy,” I sighed, then shrugged. It was not my fault that Sandra prefers me to work as her PA, and as long as I had Sa

I walked to the shiny blue car parked in the driveway.I hadn’t expected this at all. Even when Sandra asked me about my license, I had no idea that she wanted to get me a car. I was already planning how I would be joining the bus.“Thank you. I love it, but why? Why are you being so nice to me?” I know I sounded ungrateful, but I couldn’t help asking. I needed to know the reason behind all this.“Because I want people around me to be happy,” she said softly. “Now get in, and see how you really like it.”I got into the car, inhaling the smell of brand new leather. I started the engine, and drove around the block, careful not to go too fast. The engine was perfect, and the car moved like a dream.This whole thing was indeed a dream come true. My very own car! I remembered how my dad had promised to buy me a car when

Those guys couldn’t afford to even look at the building.”“Wendy? Seriously?”“Hey Becky, I had to say something to sound cool, and the lie has now gotten us an afternoon of shopping. Yes! Let’s get going,” she said, jumping up.“Not so fast. Sit down. Let us have a snack first. We are not in a hurry. Let me show you some hospitality,” I joked.I called for the housekeeper who brought us cake and soda.“Mmm!” Wendy said, biting into the cake. “This is living. Please let me move in with you.”“Mom would never allow it,” I reminded her.“I will run away from home. She will search for me for a day or two then give up.”“No, she won’t.

I looked around but couldn’t see anybody.“Hey, over here!”I saw the window of a blue car roll down, and Rebecca stuck her head out of the driver’s window.“What are you doing there?” I asked as I walked towards her.“I am here to take you to lunch,” she grinned.“Sandra let you use her car?”“Nope. This beauty is mine,” she said proudly.“How?”“Sandra bought it for me. Neat right?”“Okay, I want to hear more,” I said, and got in beside her.We drove to a restaurant.

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.

    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

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

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

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

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.
