Becky’s POV

Phillip was up and ready early because his meeting was slated to begin by 9:00AM.

“What time are you going?” He asked me when he was putting on his shoes.

I watched him through the corner of my almost closed eyes. My head ached from too much wine the previous night.

“10:00AM, and that is if I can stand on my feet,” I muttered.

“Drink some water, you will be fine.”

“My head aches,” I complained.

“That’s what you get when you drink too much,” he grinned.

I stuck my tongue at him. I had been annoyed about his rejection last night, but by this morning I realized he had been right.

“How about we meet up this afternoon for lunch? I will be done by then,” he told me.

“Sure. Where?”

“That reservation only restaurant we visited yesterday. I will make a reservation this morning.”

He kissed me gently before leaving. I looked at the time. It was almost 8:30AM. I still had a couple of hours to relax. So, I stretched and closed my eyes, trying to remember the night. A small sound escap

    Becky’s POV“What happened?” I asked.“Frank said some other investors are threatening to pull out, someone gave them hints that our share prices are falling, so they are worried. I have asked Frank to make efforts to reassure and convince them about our strength and stability.”“Are the prices really falling?” I inquired.“No. Of course not. It’s a rumor that started some months back. I have been trying to let people know it is just a stupid lie.”“Started by who? Let me guess, Davis.”“I guess so, although I have no proof. Davis is making a big mistake if he believes he can win this battle,” Phillip said, furrowing his brows.“Forget him,” I said, coming to kiss him. “He won’t spoil our mood.”“No. But we may have to shorten the trip because of this,” he sounded annoyed, then grinned and pulled me towards him. “But while we are still here, let’s try and relax.” We kissed again as we removed the remaining clothes we had on.“This time I am not drunk,” I mumbled. “And I am sure I wan

    Becky’s POVThere was a bottle of wine and two glasses on the table, with two chairs around it.Phillip pulled out a chair for me as soon as he sighted me.“Do you want to join me?” He asked.I laughed as I sat down.“What is this?” I grinned as he served us wine.“I felt we should spend a quiet romantic night stargazing and sipping our drink.” He handed me a glass and sat next to me.“I love it. I never knew you were so romantic,” I teased.“Here,” he said, and I turned to face him only for him to steal a kiss.Sitting with him reminded me of when I was a young girl. My dad loved to stargaze and we often sat together in the backyard. Most times, I would fall asleep and he would carry me inside. I sighed sadly, remembering it all.“Are you okay?” He asked gently.“Yeah, just thinking.”“About?”“My dad,” I said and told him.“I really miss him,” I continued. “That’s why I will do anything to protect his company.”“Yes, and we will. Let me ask you, if you were in charge of the company

    Becky’s POVIt was an article about my dad’s company. It was facing bankruptcy and the company manager was hinting that it may soon be sold.“Becky, are you okay?” I heard Frank asking.I didn’t answer, I couldn’t. My mind immediately went to Davis. And I remember what Celine had said this morning.“Becky, answer me!” Frank said frantically.“I have to go. I will talk to you later.” I hung up.I read the article again and noticed something. The company manager was the guy Phillip had been talking to at the party some weeks ago.I started to dial Phillips' number then changed my mind, and rushed out of my office. I drove to see Phillip.He looked surprised as I rushed into his office.“What is it?” He asked, seeing my anxious face.“My father’s company is going bankrupt! We have to do something. Davis will move in,” I said panicking.“Calm down.” He got up and came towards me. “Sit down and relax. What is going on?”“I just read in a news blog that my daddy’s company is filing for bank

I bought it for you,” I explained.“Are you serious?”“Yes. The paperwork is all here. I promised you I would make sure the company wasn’t taken from you. I know how much it meant to you.”She couldn’t say a word. She just stared at me, then her eyes became teary.“Oh my God! My dad’s company isn’t gone,” she sniffed.She got up and came to hug me. “I love you, Phillip.”“I love you more. I would do anything to make you happy,” I said, holding her tightly.“So will I be running my dad’s company? I can’t believe it.”“Just sign the paper, and it will be yours,” I said, grinning. She deserves to be happy.“Can I do it later? I need to get used to this.”“Sure. How about this evening at dinner?”She nodded and kissed me. I pulled her onto my lap and kissed her passionately.There was a knock. We pulled away from each other as

    Becky’s POVAfter I returned to my office, I sat staring at the paperwork. I still couldn’t bring myself to sign it just yet. I was stunned to believe the business was really mine.“I am going to finally be in charge of your company, Dad.” I whispered aloud. The thought made me dizzy with excitement. I was scared, but ready to give it a try. Then I thought of Wendy and my mom. Phillip had said they had enough money, but would it really be enough and what would they do now? I was still wondering why my mother had agreed to sell when she knew how much it had meant to my Dad.Didn’t she care about his memory at all?As far as I could remember, she had loved my dad, so why had she got rid of his company?As if reading my thoughts, Wendy called me.“Hey Becca,” she said fearfully. “I guess you have read about the company.”“I have. Mom sold it.”“Yeah, I am sorry. I didn’t realize how bad things were. I didn’t know she was planning to sell honestly. I would have told you.”“I know Wendy,

    Becky’s POVWhen I opened my eyes I was lying on a bed, but I knew immediately it wasn’t my bed. So where could I be? Then the beeping sounds, smell of antiseptics, and seeing my bandaged arm when I tried lifting it, told me I was in a hospital. It took some minutes before I remembered what had brought me there.I had been in an accident. Has anyone been hurt? I tried to sit up.“Babe, how do you feel?” Philip said from my side where he had been sitting.“How long have I been out?” I asked. It felt like I had been out for days, but he told me it was just for some hours.“Sandra has been here all evening. She left a couple of minutes ago,” he continued.I wanted to sit up, but my right arm hurt badly.“Take it easy sweetie, do you remember what happened?” He asked.“I had an accident, was anyone hurt?” I asked anxiously.“No, luckily. Do you remember what caused the accident?” He asked carefully.I tried to think. “I was trying to avoid a car, I think, then I crashed into something.”

    Phillip’s POV“I am really sorry about all this Phil. If I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn’t have asked her to meet me,” Frank said feeling guilty as we left the hospital.“No, I am sorry instead. It isn’t your fault. I am just so mad that I didn’t try to stop it,” I told him, frowning.We stood near my car waiting for Sandra who was still inside making plans so that Ralph could guard Rebecca.As soon as I heard about the accident, I immediately called Sandra and informed her. Both of us came to the realization immediately that Davis was responsible. We decided to keep Ralph at her door in case the coward tried again.“What do you mean? How could you have stopped it?” Frank asked, puzzled.“This was not an accident,” I said. “Davis is behind this.”“Come on, Phil!”“Yes, he is.”“I agree that the guy is a jerk, but even at that, Davis will not go this far.”“He did. He told me he would get me by going after Rebecca. Now he has. I should have been more careful,” I

    Becky’s POVI was dozing off to sleep that evening when Phillip came back.“When do I get out of here?” I groaned.“In a couple of days. How is your arm?”“It still hurts, but not bad. What is it, you look tense?” I said, looking at his face. “And I want the truth.”“I went to see your mom this afternoon, I wanted to get her to come over here, but I did not succeed.”I shrugged. “I guess that's just how it is.” I felt sad. “Cheer up. Whatever her problem is, you don’t need it. What you need is to get well.”I nodded. “Any sign of Davis?”“No. The police went to question him, but found out he left town on a business trip. Meanwhile, I suspect the coward ran away. Celine went with him, and the driver of the car still hasn’t been found.”“So what happens now?” I asked anxiously.“Well, I doubt Davis will come back. Thanks to Sandra, the police found evidence of fraud in his dealings and want to question him on that too. He doesn’t have his company anymore and his reputation is ruined so

    Becky’s POV“Are you okay?” Jenny asked as we left the café.“Sure,” I nodded.“I hope you aren’t thinking about Jerry, the jerk?”“A little. I don’t want the loser making trouble for me.”“Relax. 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

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. I was sad, but not surprised.“So it has got
