EARLY MORNINGEdwin looked at his wall clock where it was already time for his flight after two hours. He got up from his bed and looked out the window where sun rays were already coming inside his room. But his heart is still moving through the darkness with stings of feelings. He wanted to check on Rebecca after their conversation last night. But he had no energy to do that anymore. He hopelessly gets up from the bed while his face doesn't get any expression at all. He looked at his phone and called the driver."Good morning, Sir." The driver immediately greeted him on the phone while he didn't talk back, just illustrating the task."Hello, Go and tell Rebecca Mam, she needs to be ready to go to the airport, the flight is in two hours. We need to go out an hour before to be on the flight at the right time." "Alright, sir!" The driver instantly responded. Edwin disconnects the call and puts it back on the bed. After last night, he doesn't know how they will interact in the futur
At the airport, both of them didn't talk to each other. They are just silently waiting for the announcement. But as soon as they heard the announcement. They both shortly moved together. Where Edwin is going first, Rebecca follows him behind.Edwin and Rebecca's seats were beside each other. Because he made the arrangement that way. However, Edwin sat on his chair but Rebecca was a little hesitant for a moment to sit with him, after hearing his confession last night. It's not like she doesn't want to sit but her heart wanted to stay far away so as not to feel weak.She felt her heart going to ache to sit together so close, but soon another announcement was made which told every passenger to take their seat. And finally, she put her emotion back into the deep down her chest, and took her seat, beside him.Edwin felt calm deeply to see her, at least not ignoring their seat with him. However, as the plane started flying. Rebecca's expression turned nervous. She started to feel dizzy. E
Hearing the doorbell sound, Julia, who was busy on the call, immediately said," I'll call you later. Someone in the door." "Yeah bye." She smiled wide and cut the call. After putting the phone on the couch. She went towards the door to open it.But what? she never thought to see her friend's depressing face.As soon as the door opened, Rebecca's hurtful eyes shocked Julia. "Rebecca?" She immediately touched her shoulders and looked at her full with concerned eyes.Her forehead creased with worry and without waiting more than a second she asked with an anxious tone, "Babes, what happened? Why are you like this? Is everything okay?" Rebecca looked at her friend with a blank gaze for a moment and finally let herself sob without any single thought. "Rebe…"Before Julia called her name Rebecca hugged her immediately. Like she is the only person she has in this world, on whose shoulder, she could cry without any worry. Julia felt too concerned to see her friend this miserable. And the
"Hello, Mr.Sam." Rebecca was a little taken back to see him calling her, not on working time. "Hello, Rebecca, I just called you to inform you that you don't need to come to the office for two days." Rebecca's face frowned and she asked."But why Mr.Sam? I didn't take any holiday?" Sam felt silent for a moment and then responded, "Actually, in our company, there is a policy, if an employee goes for a business trip, related to the company work. They can get a few days' holiday in exchange for coming back. So, you can come after two days, until then I will manage your work." Rebecca never thought there was a policy like that. But it does not matter right now. She also needed some alone time to think about Julia's words until then not seeing Edwin was the right choice. So, in the end, she didn't insist and just agreed to it. "Alright, Mr.Sam." "Good, then enjoy your rest.""Sir, she agreed." Sam looked at his boss who was silently looking at the sky standing in front of the French
NEXT DAYSHOPPING MALL"Julia, why did you take me here?" Rebecca asked as soon as she saw the big mall from the window of the cab. Julia smiled at her and asserted," Because, I want to change your mood. And I don't think so. There are better medicines than shopping for women." Rebecca couldn't help but smile at her friend's words. Julia pays the driver's rent and both get out of the car. Rebecca looked at the big luxury mall in front of her eyes and could guess. It should be expensive there. And the next moment, she turned to look at her friend with concerned eyes."Julia, this place looks expensive. I don't think it's the right choice to come here." Julia moved her eyes from the Mall to her friend who looked concerned after seeing the mall's luxury. "Babe, there is a sale today. We can get enough discount to buy something. Just see in the corner, there are banners also related to the sale." She pointed towards the banner.Rebecca followed her fingers and immediately noticed th
"Rebecca, I must say. You got a bone to fight with your own step-sister after trying to make a forbidden relationship with your own stepbrother against his will."Rebecca flinched to hear her words. Julia's breath turned heavy with anger. While Chole continued with her filthy words."You are truly a slut, Rebecca! And I know today you also came to this luxury mall with the help of some filthy money which you grabbed from selling your pretty body." Chole shouted the words loudly to be heard by surrounding people who were now becoming an audience to watch their fight.'Now, I'll see Rebecca! How you will go out raising your head from here. I'll destroy your reputation to the ash!''How dare you stay happy and enjoy your life after making my family doomed. Today I'll not let you go without making you pay for everything,' Chole smirked inside her mind evilly.Julia felt extremely angry at this moment and ready to kick Chloe's ass. "You evil woman, you dare to say that!" She wanted to gr
"You!" Chole pulled herself to stand from the floor and glared at Edwin with anger. "Who the hell are you? And why are you taking that slut side?" Her anger exploded to see one by one everyone helping Rebecca, first her friend and now this man. On the other side, Seeing the arrogant woman talking like that about Rebecca, his anger was completely ready to erupt like a volcano at any moment. He never thought coming here by coincidence was going to make him witness someone slapping his woman. "Don't dare to say those words again." His eyes turned darker and his voice almost made everyone around him feel a shiver throughout their body. Rebecca silently looked at him while Julia felt too happy to see him fighting for Rebecca.Chole steps backwards to feel his killing gaze on herself. Yes, he is handsome but his dark aura gives her a chill on her spine to not move closer and say more words in anger. She felt hesitant to say anything in loud to make him angrier and finally only got the c
"Damn!" "Why is there no cab today?" Julia shouted in anger.Rebecca looked through her phone but she also got no cab near the area. "Julia, I think we need to walk to check the cab or bus stop nearby." Julia's face frowned as she immediately said," Rebecca, there is no bus stop until 10 km. And for the bus, we need to walk for at least half an hour. And with this many bags, we can't walk. And don't forget you are pregnant. It's not safe for you to walk this much with heavy bags." Rebecca felt speechless before finally asking her, " Why is there a ride so far? Isn't the mall places always getting vehicles closer?" Julia could understand her words and immediately reply, "Rebecca, this mall is not made for middle-class people like us. Today is a sale, that's why we are here. Neither, every time, you will only see rich people coming here with their expensive cars. And this area is mostly reserved for rich people. So, cab and bus things do not work here. " "But didn't we come with a
“Rebecca, I don’t want to leave.” Edwin holds Rebecca’s hand as he is standing in front of his car with the driver, ready to go to the neighbouring city for his urgent meeting and to see the land where he will build the new biggest mall ever. He needs to land a deal. “Edwin, I’m fine. You should just concentrate on your work.” She softly smiled. As she understands his stress and nervousness. “But what If you need me or you have pain?” His expression was serious which made Rebecca sigh helplessly. “Edwin, There are still two weeks left for my delivery and you are going for only three days. Nothing is going to happen and don’t forget mom and dad are here with me for 24 hours. Even today Julia and Dad are also coming because of the weekend.” She tried to show him, she is good and surrounded by many people and that nothing could go wrong. “But still I…” Before Edwin could say anything, his mother and dad who were standing beside them finally opened their mouths. “Edwin, Rebecca i
Two months Later,“Mom, where is Edwin, I can not see him anywhere.” Rebecca comes out from her bedroom to ask Mrs Hutson.“Dear, why did you come here, you can ring the bell which is placed beside your bed. It’s not good to walk for too long. You should be tired now, let’s sit on the couch.” Rebecca who was now used to Mrs Hutson’s motherly protective manner only could smile and agreed with her to sit, “Sorry, Mom to make you concerned but I did not find Edwin when I awake from my afternoon sleep, I thought, he is today free and will not go to the office.”Mrs Hutson warmly smiled, “Rebecca, you are right, he is still in the house and not leaving you.” “Then where is he?” Rebecca blinked.Mrs Hutson's expression turned excited as she mischievously smiled and suggested, “Why don’t you look around the kitchen? I think you demanded something from him before your sleep.” There was a big playful smile playing on her lips when she mentioned that.Rebecca's face was surprised, “Mom, I wish
With time, Rebecca adjusted to Hutson Mansion while her father and Julia come as promised every weekend to meet her and do dinner together. Just like every day, Edwin takes Rebecca on a walk and then he stays with her until she falls asleep. But at the midnight, he heard a knock at his door. He frowned and a half awaken open the door, only to realise Rebecca was standing in front of him. “Rebecca, what happened? Why are you awake in the middle night? Do you feel unwell anyway?” He held her hand and asked worriedly. He checks on her belly to see If she feels anyhow pain or anything.However, Rebecca shook her head at his words, “It’s not the case, Edwin.”He felt confused and tried to guess, “Then If you need anything? Or any chance, you can not fall asleep?”Hearing his words, Rebecca bit her lower lips lightly with awkwardness and at last, she held his shirt corner and said embarrassedly looking at the ground, “Edwin…” Her action made him concerned and he touch her shoulders.“Wha
Doctor Clinic“Doctor, how is the baby?” Edwin asked the doctor while Rebecca just joined him after the checkup.“The baby is healthy.” The doctor’s words made both of them smile.“However, the baby’s position is not right for now.” Hearing that Rebecca worriedly asked while Edwin’s expression also turned tense.“Doctor, what do you mean by position?” The doctor looked at their tense expression and immediately explained. “I mean to say, I think normal delivery is not possible in your case. We need to do a C-Section.”“What?” Edwin's forehead knitted.However, Rebecca breathed in relief, “I’m ready for anything. I just need my baby to be safe.” Doctor smiled lightly, “You are brave, Ms Rebecca.” Edwin's concerned eyes turned tender, as he held her hand the next moment, “Are you sure? It’s a big surgery.” Rebecca could sense his worry and smiled warmly, “Edwin, I am always ready for C- Section. Anyway, normal delivery is not possible. So, don’t worry.” Her words made him realise,
Two Months Later“My godson is truly going to be healthy and big. Just look at your belly babes!” Julia excitedly said those words to Rebecca who was standing in front of the mirror to see her big belly growing faster with every single day passed and now she can feel the baby moving inside her.“I think the same, Julia.” Rebecca blushed with happiness as she looked at herself and her baby bump with tender and motherly love carrying in her eyes.“You are soon going to enter the seventh month of pregnancy. How time flies, it’s truly unpredictable.” Julia mumbled as she walked to the bed and sat while Rebecca still saw her belly in the mirror with a big smile. However, she was hearing from her friend also, so she responded with a big smile, “That’s true. I never thought I could enjoy my pregnancy this much at first but now, I can only be excited to count the following days. I’m just waiting for the day when I can finally carry my baby in my lap and pull her or his tender and chubby chee
The next morning“Dad, What are you doing here this early morning?” Rebecca was stunned to see her dad at her door. They met just last night, so she doesn't understand what made him come this early morning again. “My child, I come to take you home.” He responded with a bright smile while Rebecca walked inside and told him to get inside also. “Dad, I already told you last night, I can not go back to that house.” It's not like she doesn't want to live with her Dad. But whenever she thinks about home, she remembers her stepmother and step-siblings.Hearing his daughter's words, Mr Wilson walked to her and touched her head, “My child, I know why you are saying that. But I also came to inform you that I made those bullies leave that house and decided to take a divorce.” Rebecca’s eyes winded, “What?” “Yes, dear, I can not stay with those people who behave like monsters in people's skin.” Rebecca could not believe her dad made taken such a big decision and felt guilty that finally what
Late at night, Rebecca phoned Edward and thanked him for making so many efforts for her and her dad.“Thank you, Edward. You don’t know what I got today.” Rebecca softly mumbled while on another side of the phone, Edwin smiled and responded, “I know, Rebecca, how much you always missed your dad. I can see through you when you talk to my parents every time. I can see there is loneliness which can only be filled by your father.”Rebecca’s lips curled up with a warm expression, as she never thought Edwin noticed that. Yes, that’s true. Whenever she watched Edwin’s parents, she remembered her dad. “I’ll never forget what you did for me, Edwin.” Her gentle tone, which was filled with love, made his heart skip a bit. “This is nothing. I can even give my soul to protect you and our baby.” Rebecca is a little taken aback by his words. Edwin could guess how her expression should be right now and could not help but smile from corner to corner. He will do everything to give her happiness. T
“Dad, You dId not tell me. If you are not in the city, how did you get to know all this true?” Rebecca could not help but ask at last to her Dad. “Dear, It’s all happened thanks to Mr Edwin.” Her Dad smiled in response.“Edwin?” Her eyes filled with surprise. She is truly confused now. How could he know her Dad? How does her Dad know him? Did they know each other before?“Dad… How did you know Edwin?” Her dad's corner lips raised as he responded, “I don’t know him personally If I tell you the truth. But I know he is a tycoon businessman.”“Then how did you meet him or did he meet you?” “He called me personally a few days ago and told me, " If I want to know about my daughter’s whereabouts, he can help me as he knows where you are living.”Rebecca completely paused as she could not believe, he is the one because of him, she met her Dad today.“As soon as he took your name, I just flew back and met him in his office. He told me, "Who is he and what is your relationship with him?”Reb
“I am sorry that I could not keep you safe in your own house. You had to endure so many hardships and face them alone, even though I was there. I know it will not be easy for you to trust me now, but can you give your father another chance again?”“It is my fault that I gave my family a chance to misbehave with you. If I had stopped them many years ago from bullying you, then today you would not have to see this day and honestly, I am very ashamed to be called dad.” Mr Wilson’s tears fell from his eyes which he wiped out and looked at his daughter with a guilty face.Seeing him crying, her eyes also filled with tears and she said in a low voice, “Father, I have forgotten the old things and I have never even given you blame for that, but it definitely pained me that when you didn’t even think for a moment to separate me from yourself even after you came to know the truth and said that from onwards you and I have no relation. Was it so easy for you to break up with me? I just want to qu
