Becky’s POV

“And I was thinking you really wanted to hang out with me. I should have guessed your behavior was too good to be true, you sneaky little witch,” he said, coming into the room.

“You should be ashamed of yourself you heartless bully,” I said angrily. “Picking on an old lady.”

“What is it to you?” He asked. “I am her caregiver and I will treat her anyway I like.”

“Not on my watch!” I told him.

“Please go dear,” Brenda urged me. “Chris, please let her go.”

“Shut up,” Chris told her.

“Don’t you yell at her!” I told him. “I will make sure you pay for this.”

“Honey go please,” Brenda pleaded.

“She is not going anywhere.” Chris closed and locked the door, putting the key in his pocket.

“I warned you to mind your business, but you won’t listen now you will wish you had,” he said, moving towards me.

“You don’t scare me,” I said firmly. “I am not leaving here without Brenda.”

“What is it to you what I do with this old bat?” He asked angrily. “I have told you to let me show you how

    Becky’s POV “Oh my goodness! Rebecca! What happened to your face?” Anna asked in alarm.“Nothing Anna, I am okay, really.”“Is it true Brenda was attacked?” She asked.“How did you know that, Gran?” Phillip asked.“One of the neighbors was here just now. She told me Brenda was taken away in an ambulance. It is true, isn’t it?” She began crying.“No Gran, it isn’t. Brenda is fine, thanks to Rebecca,” Phillip told her.“Yes Anna. I was there. Brenda is fine,” I repeated.“I need to see her for myself,” Anna insisted.“Not now, Gran, tomorrow,” Frank said.“We will go see her tomorrow, Gran, I promise,” Phillip agreed.“What happened to you, Rebecca? Is it to do with Brenda?” She asked.“Calm down Gran, let’s go inside and I will explain everything,” Phillip said, then turned to me. “I will look after her, you get some rest.”“I will walk you to your place,” Frank offered.I followed him, happy I wouldn’t have to explain to Anna.

    Becky’s POV My heart sank. “Please, I just want to stay till I feel a little better. I would have gone today if this hadn’t happened.” I said, a little panicky.I didn’t have anywhere to go right now and wouldn’t want to appear in my mom’s place with a bruised face. That is, if I could find out where she lived.“No, I meant you can’t go,” he said. “Do you really think I would send you away?” He sounded slightly offended.I blushed.“No, I just…it is just that you wanted me to leave. You said it would be better that way.” I reminded him.“I know. I am sorry, I should never have listened to Celine. I know she probably lied and…never mind. I don’t want you going anywhere. Take a week off.”“I can’t. Who will look after Anna?” I asked.“You really care about her.” He smiled. “Don’t worry, I will find a way around it. You need to rest. I mean it.”He touched my face again. His touch was gentle and I enjoyed it. I wondered if he wanted to do more than touch me, so I moved closer to him. H

    Becky’s POV The story was all over the news!“It is all over the news!” Frank said, surprised.I was speechless. I hadn’t noticed any newsagents there, but they had been.I watched the story and blushed as I was called a hero. “I am not a hero!” I groaned, switching off the TV.“You are,” Frank insisted. “You were very brave, and I am so glad you are okay.”“Thank you.”“And I need to explain what happened on Sunday,” Frank said.I stopped him, “You have already apologized.”“I need to explain.” He held my hand. “I really have feelings for you, Becky, and I was disappointed that you didn’t seem to realize it. But that was no excuse to act the way I did.”“I didn’t realize it at first, but when I did, I meant to call you and explain too.” I sighed. “I like you Frank, I do, but not that way. I don’t want anything romantic right now, I just want us to be friends,” I explained.“Why? I am not putting pressure on you, it is just that I care about you, and I would like you to consider it.

Why are you bothering me?” She demanded.“Didn’t Wendy tell you I had been trying to call you, your number wasn’t going so-““You haven’t answered my question. What do you want?”“I wanted to know how you are. I have missed you-““I am fine, now you know, are you happy now?” She snapped.“I got into some trouble, it was on the news-““So? What is my business if you go about picking fights?” She said.“No mom, it is not like that! It wasn’t a fight, I was attacked. You see-““I am not interested, Rebecca! I am not interested in you or anything about you! Can you now stop bothering me!” She was yelling so loudly and I had to move the phone away from my ear.I was shocked. Tears stung my eyes. I noticed Dom watching me carefully. I was ashamed. I knew he could hear what was being said.“I am sorry mom. Please send me your address. Please, Mom. I want to visit, I am

What is that?” I asked, pointing at the bag he was holding.“I brought you dinner,” he said.“Guess you will be okay then,” Phillip told me. “Take it easy, okay? I will see you tomorrow.”I nodded, slightly disappointed that Frank had shown up. I knew Phillip had been about to kiss me, and had been looking forward to it. I watched him walk back to the house.“What was that?” Frank asked, frowning.“Nothing. Come into the living room,” I said.“You look upset,” he said.“I am, just a little bit. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my Dad’s death,” I said sadly.His frown cleared. “I am sorry about that. Here, I brought you some pizza.”“Wow, thanks. Join me, let’s eat.”We sat on the sofa and began eating the pizza.“How was your day? Hope you weren’t bored?” He asked.“No, I was okay and you?”“I

You are a hero!” She cried.This must be Linda. I thought.Frank managed to pull her away from me.“Easy Linda,” he said. “Becky, this is Brenda’s granddaughter-““I am Linda, Phil has told me everything! I am so grateful. He said you kept telling everyone, but they won’t believe you till you took matters into your own hands! How can I ever thank you?” I stared at the beautiful red-headed woman. “It was nothing really, Miss-““Linda. Call me Linda, please. And it was something.” “I agree,” Anna added,“Oh, Anna, forgive me,” she hugged her. “How are you?”“Better now that Brenda is okay. Thanks to Rebecca, she noticed quickly that something was wrong.”Linda burst into tears.“I spoke to her nearly every day and I didn’t notice.

    Becky’s POV I stood shocked, my heart burning with jealousy as I watched them kiss passionately.Then I slowly moved out of the room and ran back to my place, slamming the door and leaning against it.Phillip had lied to me! He said they were like brother and sister. Who kisses their sister like that? I slid to the ground.What had I expected? Linda was so beautiful and lively. Why would Phillip choose me over her? I buried my face in my hands and tried not to cry. Only yesterday had Phillip wanted to kiss me. Now Linda had come and he was kissing her.I sat on the floor for a long time, then got up and fell on the sofa. Despite my efforts, I began sobbing.Why? My mind screamed at me. Why are you crying, you fool? So Phillip loves Linda. What were you expecting? He doesn’t love you! He was only being nice to you because you saved Brenda. Stop being silly!“I thought he cared about me,” I sobbed.No, he doesn’t! Stop letting him play with your emotions!I sat up and wiped my eyes. I

    Phillip's POV “So what have you been doing all this time?” Linda asked me as she poured us more wine.Rebecca and Gran had just gone upstairs and we were alone. “Nothing, just the usual work, running the family company.”“It must be stressful, don’t you relax?” She asked, rubbing my neck.I gently moved away.“I do when I have time. And you? What have you been doing?” I asked.“Same. Work, I only try to have fun, unlike you,” she teased, then placed her arm on mine. “I have really missed you Phil. I haven’t thought of anyone else, let alone dating anyone.”I tried not to sigh. Linda and I had a childhood together, and I was sure she had a crush on me. As for me, well, I felt nothing different towards her except for a sister, and still do not. She was so excited to see me when I went to bring her home from the airport, and she had thrown her arms around my neck, kissing me, but I was not moved. My feelings hadn’t changed. She was like a sister to me, but she still wanted us to be a c

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
