NEXT DAYAFTERNOON "Surprise!" Julia shouted with a big cheerful voice as soon as Rebecca opened the main door. "Julia?" Rebecca's lips raised with a big smile as she saw her standing in front of her. "Babe!" Julia opened her arms and walked towards her to give her a huge hug. While Rebecca happily welcomes her and hugs her back."How did you get here in the afternoon?" "I thought it would take an evening." Rebecca inquired as she released herself from the hug and looked at the wall clock direction where it was still 2 pm. "It's all because I'm fast." She winked in her direction, with a joke. Rebecca rolled her eyes and mumbled teasingly, crossing her arms around her bust, "Yeah, you are the superwoman, aren't you? Julia chuckled to see her reaction and finally asserted the main reason, "Actually, the train is earlier than the time just like yesterday. So, I take the early way to get back here.""That's good. Now you can take some rest before going on a date with Sam." "Yeah,
"Wow!""You look beautiful." Sam gave her a bouquet of roses while complimenting her. "Thank you," She took the flower gently and added, "You are looking handsome too." "Well thanks!" Sam scratches his neck back, feeling a little bit shy. While carrying a charming smile on his face. "I hope…I'm not late." He further added."No, you are early." Julia flashed a gorgeous smile, and let her fingers go on hair strands to tuck behind her ear one side. "So, we should go now," Sam announced. "Yeah sure." She nodded and soon both of them turned towards the car door which was opened by Sam for her. "Thanks," She blushingly gets into the car and Sam walks towards the driver seat. ..In The Car"Sir, sorry to inform you but the flight got delayed. It's now midnight." The employee hesitantly explained to Edwin. "And why the hell that?" Edwin's brows twisted while his eyes got furious. He is already in the car to go to the airport but the exact moment before his driver starts the car. He g
In the movie mid-watch, Rebecca felt a little hungry, she looked at the wall clock where it was almost going to be 11 pm. She thought about Julia and Sam for a moment, "They should be perhaps now enjoying their dance." She stood from the couch to walk towards the kitchen as she mumbled those words to herself and smiled.Julia adores storing mid-snacks. So, Rebecca never needs to worry about her pregnancy craving when it's come to midnight snacks.She entered the kitchen and went directly towards the fridge. However, before she could touch any snacks in the fridge, the power was gone and everything turned darker in a single flash. Her smile almost turned straight as her body twitched with distress. She slowly moves backwards and closes the fridge door to look around. To confirm the electricity is gone. Everything around her is darker and too silent.Her heartbeat turned faster. At the same time, her mind remembers the unpleasant scenes of past incidents (Related to her stepbrother
“Sis, are you not going to welcome me?” Nick tries to takes step towards her, which makes Rebecca, who has been in shock until now, finally, broke her silence and walks backward, “Stay away from me.” She pointed her finger at him with a shrinking hand.However, he chuckled and did not stop walking. Rebecca can't let him enter inside. So, the next moment she tried to lock the door in his face. But he was fast enough to hold the door to not get close and push it to open up wide for him. She cannot use so much strength as she fears for the baby's safety, so she lets go of the door and walks back to avoid getting hit.He has taken this chance to enter inside and laugh arrogantly at her, “Sister, stop playing hide and seek. You cannot hide from me any longer.” His eyes turned dangerous in the last panel.“You just leave my house, If you want me not to call security or Cop!” She tries to warn him even though her breath has been completely shaking with nervousness. His presence is threate
“Julia, can’t you stay longer? I want us to go for a small walk.” Sam held her hand and try to request her.“Sam, I wished…I can stay…” She humbly respond, “But when I was in the washroom, I just found out Rebecca’s miscalls in my phone which I missed because of its being silence.” She explained to him.“Then why don’t you just call her? I think, she just wanted to know when you are going back home. As it's almost midnight.” Sam glanced at his wristwatch and added those words.However, Julia shakes her head in denial, “I don’t think she call me to know that exactly as she advised me in the first place to enjoy my date without worrying about her and spend quality time with you.”His brows deepened, “What about calling her?”“I tried many times to call her already but there is no response. All I can hear is ringing. I need to go home. I do not feel good about this sudden situation.”He also agreed with her now, after listening to her words. If it's not urgent she will never call her fri
“Sam, I’m scared.” Julia’s tone filled with worry.“Stop thinking negatively, Julia. She would be fine. Just think positive.” He tried to give her assurance.After a few more minutes of driving, they finally reached the home. Julia instantly gets off the car while he follows her behind.After taking the elevator, when they arrive in front of the apartment. She knocked on the door, and to her surprise, the door opened automatically with one push. They both looked at each other with a profoundly suspicious looks as they entered together and felt shaken to see the view inside.The whole place was in a mess, many things smashed on the floor. TV was on at high volume. Looking at the places anyone could think of, there was a big fight that happened before they arrived. This scene petrified them to think about Rebecca and her baby’s safety.“Rebecca!” Julia almost felt shocked and tripped on her leg, however, Sam held her at the right time, “Julia.”...Edwin’s car stopped in front of the
"Mr Hutson, don't worry. We will find Ms Rebeeca soon." The police officer gives him words and then moved to see around the house with other cops to find some clues.Edwin silently glanced at the place when Sam came to him in rush and informed him about the neighbour lady."Boss, the old lady opened her eyes. I just got a call from the hospital." Hearing that news, Edwin turned and ordered, "Let's go there with the officer." Sam nodded and gets the main officer with them to the hospital while Julia who is still in shock, Sam asked her to stay home to help the cops if they need any information.HOSPITAL"Doctor, how she is now?" Edwin looked at the doctor with stargazing as he asked about the lady.“Mr Hutson, She is alright. Her injury is not serious. She fainted because of a panic attack.” He reported accurately. “Doctor, can we ask some questions to the patient related to the incident? If it’s alright?” The officer questioned and waited to get a response from him. “Yes, you can.”
“Sir, the footage is here.” One of the cops reported to the officer when Edwin and others were also present. “Alright, then we should go now and check the footage.” The officer looked at Edwin, Sam, and Julia.In the footage room, the cops started playing a recording and told Julia to see if she knew the kidnapper. And they told the same thing to Edwin and Sam.The video was hazy, but they only focused on the screen to watch the kidnapper coming out from the building with Rebecca. Edwin's eyes focused on the main entrance of the building. Soon they all noticed a guy getting inside the building while his face was hidden by a Jacket cap. “Sir, this guy is the last person who entered the building.” One of the cops reported. Julia tried to look at the guy's face but the video was unclear.“Alright then move the video fast mode and check when he left the building.” the officer instructed. “Got it, Sir,” the cops nodded and pressed the fast mode option to go faster. When they all not
“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
