MICHEAL'S POV

"What?"

He had slumped back into his chair as he lost his balance. He had just finished a meeting when his mother had called him. For a split second, he had contemplated not to answer her call. But judging by the number of times he had already missed her calls, he had to answer. It might have been something very urgent. And it was.

"I said your father has been rushed to the hospital. He had a heart attack. We're at the hospital right now." His mother repeated.

"No," he said quietly.

"Micheal, can you hear me?" his mother's frantic voice broke through.

"This can't be happening," he said dazed.

This couldn't be happening. His father had been fit as a fiddle just yesterday when he had gone to meet him to go over some details. During the conversation, he had caught his father massaging his chest.

    ALINA'S POVFLASHBACK She was feeling her shoulders throb from carrying the weight of Michael's head all night as he lay peacefully. She didn't feel like it was something she needed to complain about. He had needed a shoulder and all she wanted to do at that point was to help. She had been so fearful and worried for her mother-in-law despite what everyone thought. She just had to push aside her fears to provide hope and support for the family. Something she wished someone had done for her when her mother had been first diagnosed. She had had to be strong at that point for both her mother and her. Even though they didn't have the resources for her surgery and had to rely on the over-the-counter medication that would only help with the pain and not solve the main issue, even then, she still had to have faith that everything would work out well. The one thing she dreaded most at that time always was losing her mother suddenly as she had done for her father.Now her priorities had change

She roared, slamming the door open with a loud bang.He looked up to see her cold steel eyes glaring back at him as her chest heaved up and down in fury.He gave her a smug smile as she stomped on her heels towards his desk with her clutch in hand being gripped so tightly it was a wonder it was still intact. His assistant and secretary were still trying to appease her and with a raise of his hand, he signaled for them to leave.She slammed her clutch onto the desk in fury. He arched a brow up at her in response and reclined back into his chair. "How could you do this to me?! Me!"

    ALINA'S POV Suddenly she was regretting what she had done earlier today. But she had been so worried about him and their future...their possible future and besides, the dismissive way he had handled their conversation in the car on their drive back to the house wasn't reassuring or convincing to her. And after getting off the phone with her mother, she knew what needed to be done and that was getting some necessary answers. FLASHBACK "Hi, mum. How are you feeling today?"She had asked on the first ring. "Am doing much better sweetie "Her mother had said. She smiled because she did sound much better. Her voice had gotten back to normal and she sounded more bubbly than more than she had been throughout her illness. "Are you doing okay? How is your husband doing?" she asked. She hesitated. "He's okay. Am doing much better. Are the doctors treating you nicely over there? And your treatment, is it working?" she questioned changing the subject quickly. "Everything is fine o

It was fortunate that the man in question was a family man who had a grown up teenager and knew what kind of crises he could be having, although he must have greatly miscalculated but all the same, it served a good purpose for him to be able to go home that day.

He had just walked in, given such heartwrenching news, and stormed out.She was still sitting on the floor where she had tripped in her quest to stop him from leaving. How could something she had done for love evoke such a reaction from him? How could he think that their marriage wouldn't work just because she had asked a few questions? Was she so wrong?She was still dazed but leaned in gratefully to the arms that had encircled her. It was Eugene who was helping her stand straight.With much difficulty, she had managed to take her to the couch where she plopped down still lost in space."It's okay Ma'am, he's just angry. Am sure he will come around sooner or later. Don't you worry? Everything will eventually play out in your favor" Eugene advised."How? How will things get better?

Coupled with all that stress she had not been able to contact her mother, neither has her mother called. The worry was eating away at her day by day. All she held unto was the fact that her mum would return to her in two months time, assuming he didn't cut off her treatment.

He asked panicked as he looked under the covers to find that she was wearing nothing underneath.He quickly closed it,wrapping the bedsheets around him sarong style as he jumped out of the bed trying to get some distance away from her.
