Rebecca's POVI can't believe if Austin is the one who has just asked for my forgiveness. I thought he was satisfied with what he had done to me. But I guess I made him feel the other way around, 'ashamed' of his actions. That was a good sign that he was still a good person deep down in his heart, even though he tried to cover that good side with arrogance and rudeness.I just decided to forgive him because even when I tried to report him, nothing will be done and on top I might even get fired. So, there is no need to continue being angry.I returned to the office and since working hours were over, I got my purse, so I could get out of here and just go home. This had been a terrible day for me and I just wanted it to end, so I could just forget about it.“See you tomorrow, Olivia. Thanks, too, for today, you are really a good friend. I appreciate it so much.” I said to her, “Don't worry. Girls are supposed to look after each other.” She said, as she was also leaving. I wanted to tell
Austin’s POVI am about to leave the office when I see Rebecca stranded. It seems she doesn’t know there is a strike for taxis. “Hasn’t she heard the news?” I ask myself.I decided to wait a little while because I knew if I went now she would think I wanted something from her, but all in all, I had to help her. I can't leave her all alone.I only pretended, and I went and packed my car somewhere she could not see me. There was no way I was going to leave her alone. I had to help her.“You still don’t need my help?” I asked her from behind. I have watched her for over thirty minutes now. And she still did not give up. I liked her spirit.She looked at me, and she still wanted to refuse and that was where I decided to tell her about the strike, and it seemed like she did not know a thing. She looked surprised.After a while of thinking. She accepted, but she offered to pay for the ride. I gladly accepted that. It was what I wanted anyway, a yes from her. I led the way to where I had pack
Rebecca’s POVThings between me and Austin got more intense. We were close now, and I wasn’t so afraid of him anymore. He was rude sometimes, but the next minute he apologized. Occasionally, I felt like people misunderstood him when they said he was so arrogant. I think they had not seen his soft part yet, which was so good. I am sure everybody in the office would have loved him, but I guess he loved being feared and respected.He was on my mind more often nowadays. I forgave him already for what he had done to me the first time. Maybe he wanted me to fear him because after that incident he became so soft to me and really caring. And I liked that part more. He was good and I liked that so much. I found myself smiling most of the time that I thought about him. And I would smile more broadly when I got a text message from him. He was hilarious and loving.“Hey girl, what is going on between you and Austin, I have noticed something.” Olivia asked me one time.“Nothing, there is nothing go
Rebecca’s POVI made sure I was looking absolutely gorgeous today. With the money I earned from my salary, I made sure I bought myself the beautiful dresses I always wished for. I had promised myself never to look ugly again.I was ready, and I was just waiting for Austin to arrive. I did not want to tell Olivia because she will start having ideas in her head, and maybe it was just a simple date. I was so nervous about all this. I doubted that I would manage.Within thirty minutes, I heard a car engine in front of my apartment window. I went to check if it were him. He had packed his usual car, and immediately my phone rang. I went ahead to pick it.“Hello beautiful, come out, I’m here already.” He said. I guess he did not want people to see us together, and I was glad he had done that. I also don’t want people to start picking their noses on my business. And moreover, I deserved to be happy without anyone interfering.I pick up my purse, and before I leave I look at myself in the mirr
Rebecca’s POV“I know I have promised to be on my best behavior today, Rebecca, so I won’t do anything nasty. I hope I haven’t offended you. I am sorry” Austin said as he drew off me. I had really thought he was going to kiss me. And I was ready for it. I wasn’t angry at him, but I wished he had done it. I was longing for his kiss anyway, and I did not know why.“It’s ok, Austin, don’t worry about it. I am fine.” I assured him.Him being close to me made me feel so calm, like all my fears and worries had gone. I wanted him to touch me so badly, but I understood him anyway. He did not want me to feel uncomfortable, and he had also promised never to force me into anything I did not want.I checked my phone, and it was already 8:00 pm. I knew I would be late, but I knew Austin would take me home and if he did not. I will just sleep here. His house was big enough to fit the both of us.“I think food is here already.” Austin said, getting up. I didn't even hear his doorbell ring. I was deep
Rebecca’s POVI could not believe that I had spent the night at Austin’s apartment. I was so happy, it was like I was dreaming or something. Yesterday was the best night of my life, and he had taken it really slow with me. Whatever I did not like, he stopped right away.Today he was taking me back to my apartment. He had kept his promise, and I was so glad he did that. We were getting along with each other really well, and I had never thought that I would have such a bond with him. It was spectacular.“Rebecca, I really want us to do this again.” He said when he was driving. I could see it in his face that he was happy. And I felt the same way of happiness. It was like our hearts were delighted with us being together.“I want the same Austin, yesterday was really great. I liked it.” I confessed. I could no longer hide my happiness. I was happy anyway, and there would be no harm if I showed it to him.“I am glad you liked it. And I hope I did not offend you in any way,” he continued.“N
Rebecca’s POVAustin and I have been so close now. We have known each other for over five months now, and I was completely sure I felt something strong for him. I loved him, but I was afraid of showing my feelings because I knew he did not feel the same way for me.I could not afford to be heartbroken and, moreover, I think it’s the man who is supposed to show his feelings first. So, I will just wait for him to tell me if he felt the same way. I just prayed he did because I was ready to start a new relationship with him.Being with him just made me feel complete, we went out more and had fun together. These dates made me know him better, and I knew he was a good man. He was also good for me. I felt like he was my other half. I was so happy being close to him. My wish was always the same, that he felt the same for me.I was used to working here. Being my almost seventh month, I got along well with other workers and I know all of them by names. It was a good place, and Austin enhanced it
Austin’s POVI have missed Rebecca so much. It’s not like I haven’t seen her in a long time. I was just with her the other day, but it feels like forever. She is always here in my heart. I have never felt this way for a woman before, and it’s new for me. But I love what I feel for her. She makes me a better person.I decided to plan something special for her. And I decide that this is the day I am going to open up my feelings for her. I don't know how she will take it, but I can’t hide it any longer. All I am hoping for is that she feels the same way I do. I will be the happiest and luckiest man on this planet. Being with her is all I need. And I just want to be with her and no one else.I remember I had forgotten to buy something. Actually, this day won’t be complete if I don’t buy that thing. I check at my wristwatch, and it’s almost the time she is getting off work, but I know since she has my house key, she will not have a hard time getting in. I take my car and immediately rush to
Rebecca POVThe DNA of us and our baby matched, and we were allowed to go home with our baby. It was a relief to both of us, and we decided to throw a party for our baby's welcome.The trouble had ended for us. It was time to be happy and just enjoy my love with Austin. Olivia and Carlos were both in prison now, and they will never bother us again. We invited both our families, and we had to prepare for the party since it was only two days from now.“Baby. What should I wear for the party.” I asked Austin. Things like these always made me anxious.“You will look beautiful in any outfit, Darling. Just trust yourself.” He says to me with a warm smile on his face. He was holding our baby while he was telling me this. Since the arrival of our baby, he has been spending more time with him than he was with me.“Baby. I feel jealous, you know.” I said to him with a frown on my face.”“Jealous. Why?" He asks so confused.“Yeah. You have been spending more time with Raphael than with me.” I sa
Carlos POV.The last few days were bad for me. Olivia and I had a case at the court and there was going to be a hearing today. The case was so serious since it involved a baby. We went into the court and I pled guilty to abducting a child from her mother just for my own selfish reason. Olivia tries to defend herself, but since there was so much evidence pointing to us, there was no way she could escape justice. At last we were sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. I cried a lot, but I knew I deserved this. Olivia was going to be taken to women's prison and I to men's prison. I know we will never see each other again until twenty years are over. That was really a long time. I don't think I will be able to recognize her after all that long.There was one thing to be happy though and that was Rebecca. She had decided to forgive me after all the things I did to her. I was happy that she had found her baby and that he was doing alright. I just wish her all the happiness in this world. I
Carlos POV.I try to run away, but the police catch up with me. I had made a big mistake in choosing to do that dirty work with Olivia. Now my life is totally ruined. This time I had lost Rebecca for good. I had done so much harm to her life. I totally regret what I had done to her. Stealing her baby was the worst. I will never forgive myself for that. I love her, yet I was the one who made her life so miserable. I admit she used to love me so much. I was the one who betrayed her by sleeping with her best friend. She moved on from me and I just could not accept that. It was time I corrected all my horrible mistakes. One way to do that was to tell her where her baby was.I was now in a police car. They were taking me to the police station. I know I deserve this, being locked up. I hope I will be a better person when I get locked up in jail. We reach the police station and I see Rebecca standing there looking so sad, and her face was swollen, probably from crying. She looked so unhapp
Rebecca's POVIt has been hell for me knowing I no longer have my baby beside me. I have struggled enough only to lose my baby in the hands of a jealous person I called my best friend. The person I called my friend was the one who hurt me the most in this world. She took what mattered to me the most, and that is my flesh and blood. My Raphael. I will never forgive her in this life.Today, when Austin informed me that the police had caught Olivia. I could not contain myself anymore. I get ready to go with him to the police station. All I wanted was for her to tell me where my baby was, and that is what I was going to ask her.We got into the car and headed to the police station. She was there seated being interrogated by the police. She sees me and our eyes meet. I could see she was smiling. She was happy that I was crying. “Well. Let's see who we have here. Mother of the year. Who could not take care of her tiny little baby. So, I took care of him instead. Now he is in a perfect plac
Austins POV.“Where is my baby. I cannot take this anymore.” Rebecca says. I was dressing her up, so we could go home. It was supposed to be a happy day for us, but it turned to be the saddest. She was weak right now, but the doctors advised me to take her home. Since being in the hospital won't bring her any good. “Don't worry, baby. We will find him soon.” I say to her.“When darling. It has been two days now and there are no signs of Olivia nor Carlos. I feel like I am running mad right now. Take me out of here, baby. Please. I just want to go home and rest.” She says.“Let's go Darling. I assure you that all things will be alright. You know I have never let you down. So trust me.” I said to her. I had to be a source of strength to her. I was all that she got right now. Likewise, I felt so weak and helpless as well, but I could just not show her how helpless I was. It will just make her feel weaker than she was already feeling right now. I carried her out of the hospital since sh
Austins POV.I am so restless in the hospital chair where I am waiting for the doctor to come tell me what was going on in the maternity room. My Rebecca was in their having a hard time. She was screaming so loud, and I could hear her from where I was sitting. I feel so bad that she was alone in this, but there was nothing I could do. Within two hours, I could not hear her screams anymore. I saw a doctor come out of the room, and I followed him immediately.“Doctor, how is my wife and baby.” I asked when I reach to him.“Don't worry. Relax, your wife is fine. Congratulations, you are now a father to a healthy, handsome baby boy.” The doctor says.“Really doctor. Thank you so much. Can I see her now.” I say with a bright smile on my face. The long wait is finally over. I just could not wait anymore. I wanted to see them so badly and my baby, I wanted to hold him and just kiss him.“Yes, but not now. Let's first shift her to another room, then you can see them. Just ten minutes from now
Carlos POVI cannot forget the scene where I met Rebecca and I found out she was pregnant. It was the worst day of my life. I never thought she will be pregnant this soon. I was more hurt on the day of their wedding. It was so private when I knew about it when they had already wed. I had lost her forever. Now that she is expecting a baby. It is over for me. I know they will be happy together now forever with their baby. I can't stop feeling jealous and hate towards her. I watch her get into the cab and leave. I feel tears in my eyes. She did not love me anymore. Another man was making her happy. I wish that man was me. I wanted to be her man. To take care of her and to be there for her always, but it seemed I had lost that chance. Forever this time because now she was already married, and she was about to become a mother. I just could not hold the news to myself anymore. I called Olivia immediately to disclose the news to her. “What. She is pregnant? That is why their wedding was so
Rebecca's POVIt has been nine months now. My belly is so big, and it was giving me a hard time. It was only a week to my due date, but I felt like I could not wait anymore. It was taking so long for the baby to be here. It was always harder during the nights. I was unable to find a suitable sleeping position and could not get sleepy. I spent most nights awake while Austin could sleep so peacefully beside me. Just like any other day, I am so sleepless this day. I look at Austin, and he is sleeping like a small baby. Furthermore, I feel like crying, how dare he do that to me every single day? I turn and turn, but no sleep. It was really getting out of hand. I get up to go and eat something in the kitchen. Actually, in this pregnancy, I eat everything I come across with. That was the most fun part about my pregnancy. I ate even the food I hated before.I walked slowly, so I could not wake Austin up. I understand that he got exhausted at the office, that is why he sleeps so much at nigh
Austins POV.We were now on our way back home. Our one-week honeymoon was over. We had so much great fun. I have never been so happy. “I can't believe it is over, baby. I had so much fun.” Rebecca says to me while we were in our car heading home. “Don't worry, baby. We will be going on a vacation more often.” I promised her. I just hope I will be able to keep her happy for the rest of our days. We get home and put our things in order. She looked tired but happy. I am glad she liked every surprise I planned for her. She was the best.* * * * * * * * * *Rebecca's POVFive months now and I was already six months pregnant. Things have been somehow tough for me, but since Austin was on my side, things have been a bit easier. He helped me when I needed him the most. My belly was growing with each passing day. I had already made my first ultrasound, but I had not yet known the gender of my baby since it was still so tiny. But I was hoping that my baby would be a girl, but it was differen
