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

    I stared at Linda, trying to keep my face expressionless, but inside I was a confused mess!If Linda said Phillip didn’t love her because he was in love with someone else, and the person was not Celine, that could only mean he was in love with…“Will you do it?” Linda asked, dragging me out of my thoughts. “Will you help me?”I tried to think of a way to refuse without annoying her.“I don’t think it will be possible. I spend all the time with Anna. I hardly see Mr. Dale, so how can I help you?”“You could, you knew he was dating Celine, didn’t you? So you can find out who else he is interested in.”“But-““The few times you see him will be enough to find out,” she insisted. “Whatever you discover will be a big help.”I opened my mouth to say more, when Phillip came up to us.“Everything okay?” He asked, looking at us.“Sure, Phil, I am just getting to know Reb more. Ready to head back to work?” Linda asked him.“Yeah, I am,” Philip responded.“Okay,” she stood up and took his hand. “

    Becky’s POV She knows thanks to Celine, I thought. Calm down Rebecca, she doesn’t know anything, she only suspects. I told myself.Gracefully, I was more relaxed by the time the elevator came to a stop.I walked into Anna’s room and got her ready for her day. Thankfully, Phillip and Linda had left by the time we came down.After breakfast, I took her to the doctor, who had her checked up and changed her medication.“So far, I hope you like the medication you are on?” I asked her as we left the hospital.“Yes dear, no side effects.”“I am glad. So this means you won’t have to throw it away,” I smiled.“I would never do such a thing,” she said.“You did before,” I reminded her.“No. I never did, I always take my medicine,” she insisted.I looked at Anna to see if she was teasing, but she seemed serious. Had she really forgotten she used to throw her medication away?“Let’s go to Brenda’s place, please,” Anna said, as I helped her into the car. “The rest of her family is coming this a

I moved away from her.“Becky?” Frank called as he came nearer.He stopped suddenly as he saw us together, and looked at me suspiciously.“Hey Frank,” I said.“Frank, is everything okay?” Rebecca asked.“You forgot your purse in the car,” he said, handing it to her.“Silly me, thanks,” she said, taking it from him.“You are here Phil, is everything okay?” Frank asked, still sounding suspicious.“Yeah, I just came to talk to her. I am on my way back to the house. Good night Rebecca,” I said, trying to hide my disappointment at my missed kiss.“Good night, Mr Dale. Good night, Frank. Once again, thanks.”She went in and closed her door. We heard her lock it.“Want to come in for a while?” I asked him.“Sure, is Linda still up?”“Yeah,” “You call her Rebecca now?” Frank asked.I shrugged. “Guess so. She is a member of the family now.”We went into the house. Linda was in the living room looking at something on

She is just a maid!I kept hearing those hurtful words again and again.He has said what he really felt because he didn’t know I was behind him.I had come looking for Frank, who I had seen go into the house, because I wanted to ask him something. And thank goodness I had. I had been on time to hear Phillip express his real intentions towards me. Then he tried to deceive me by calling me, pretending to want to explain. He really thought I was dumb.I should have known that was how he truly felt about me. I thought bitterly. He had been a jerk right from our first meeting, and it was stupid of me to think he had changed. I still couldn’t believe I had been dumb enough to think he was in love with me.But what about the kisses? Did they mean nothing? Why kiss me then? Maybe it was still his way of toying with me.Sighing softly, I turned out the lights and lay down

    Celine’s POV I sat at my desk brooding. It had been days since my argument with Phillip, and I was still very angry. It was bad enough I had met that stupid Linda there. I had thought I had seen the last of her months ago, but now here she was, acting like she owned the place. And Phillip was choosing her over me. I still couldn’t believe he had the nerve to ask me to leave his house. I would deal with him for that insult. All this was no thanks to Rebecca. I had read in nearly every blog her little heroic deed. That was what brought Linda back. But I knew she wouldn’t be staying long, she had a job to get back to and once she was out of the way, I would have Phillip to myself. Or would I? Rebecca was going to be a problem. My dad had promised to handle it and I trusted him, but he hadn’t. What was he waiting for?I was alone in my office, my colleagues had gone to lunch, and I liked it. I could brood in peace. My phone buzzed, and I grumbled when I saw who it was, my dad.“Hello d

He didn’t know I was there so he said what he really felt.”“He could have said it without really meaning it,” Jenny insisted.“So why say it? Look, Jenny, he made his feelings clear to me and I won’t waste my time lying to myself. He is not interested in me. I have to accept it and move on.”“I still think you should give him a chance. From what you have been saying, he really likes you, and you like him too, or don’t you?”My heartbeat increased. Of course, I liked him!

I don’t know about the house. I forgot to check, but your business is still up and running. It never went bankrupt. It is now being run by your mom.”I stared at him, my mouth opened in surprise. He looked at me, then his expression changed to pity.“You really didn’t know, did you?” He asked.I shook my head. “There is a mistake somewhere, seriously. The business failed because of the huge amount spent on my dad’s hospital bill. We had two weeks to be out of the house. That was why I needed a job that offered accommodation. My mom and Wendy went to stay with her sister. All that really happened, so I don’t know where you are getting this story from,” I said, annoyed.He looked at me for a minute. “Your mom told you this?” He asked.“Yes. The lawyer told her. My Dad’s lawyer.”“Were you there when it was discus

    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

    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
