Rebecca's POV“Ooh, my head is spinning.” I heard Nica in the morning. She had slept the entire night, and I knew she had a hangover. I decided to make her coffee, so it could help with her headache. “Here, drink this, Nica.” I say to her as I hand her the coffee. She gladly accepts it and drinks it whole. “Thank you, Rebecca. You are such a nice friend.” She says. Thank God today is on a Saturday and there are no classes. I was so tired today. I guess it is because I have not had enough night sleep. Likewise, I can't help but worry about Mike. I knew he was not ok the other night and I could not do anything to help him. We were just friends and there was no way I would have misbehaved myself with him. “Where were you yesterday, you came here really drunk Nica and you know it is not good.” I finally decided to ask her. She had never behaved the way she did the previous night. “I was out with my friends, don’t worry, I am ok, you see.” She says as she stands up to go to the washro
Rebecca's POVNica has decided to take me out. I don't know for what, but I know she has good plans for me and, moreover, it's boring in here so there will be no problem if I go out to pass some time. “Yes, Nica, you can take me wherever you want.” I told her. The truth is, I only have a few nice clothes to wear. I have never bought a single dress since I came to the university, while Nica has several of them. But I will wear my clothes just like that. I don't care if I will look like an odd one out in front of Nica.“Well, girlfriend, I have to rush to my place to take a shower and choose some impressive outfit to wear. I want us to look fantastic today.” She says, then she leaves. So, I am left to prepare myself. I go to my closet and start looking for something impressive and short, maybe to make me look somehow attractive like Nica. “Yes, this one.” I say to myself as I see my blue dress.I remember Carlos had bought it for me last year during our anniversary. He had prepared a sur
Rebecca’s POVThe club was parked to the brim. We could hardly find our way through the gate. I noticed that it was a must to pay at the gate to go inside. Nica paid for our tickets, and we were allowed inside into the VIP area. There were few people there because the tickets cost a lot of money. “It looks like people love this musician a lot, Nica.” I shouted because of the loud music which was playing. “Yeah, I love him too, that is why I am here.” Nica told me.“He hasn’t arrived yet. He will be coming later.” She adds. I look around and there are countless people. Some are kissing each other, some are laughing and others are dancing with their partners. I wish Carlos were here, so we could have a good time together. Ooh, how I miss him.“What will you drink Rebecca, I want to make an order” She tells me. I really don’t know what to say. I don't even know the names of the drinks. All I can remember is Del Monte juice. “Del Monte Nica, for mango.” I say.“Ok, I will not say anything
Rebecca's POVI wake up in a strange room and bed. The bed looked more comfortable than mine at my house. Where is this place, and why can't I remember getting here? My head feels like it has carried several kilograms of stones. I get up, and immediately I want to throw up. I didn't know where the washroom was, and I could not control myself anymore, so I took the bedsheets and I put my dirt there. It smelled so awful.“What is happening to me?” I asked myself as I took the sheets and hid them under the bed. I know I will be in real trouble if the owner of this place sees them. I started searching for my phone and I could not find it. I don't remember where I last placed it. “Ooh my God, what will I do now?” I say loudly. I got out of the room and I remembered this place. It’s the club we came to yesterday with Nica. I don't know where she is, and I don't have my phone with me. I could have texted her already. I saw the bar attendant cleaning the mess people made last night. All the p
Rebecca’s POV“Since the club incident, I have not set my eyes on Nica. I know she feels terrible for leaving me and maybe even afraid to face me. I intend to save some little money, so I could buy a new phone. Furthermore, I have not communicated with Carlos for a third day now, and he might be worried.I get ready for today’s class. The first person to see was Mike. These past few days we have become really close, and I liked how we were. He was busy studying. I think he did not notice me entering the class. “Hello Mike.” I greeted him as I proceeded to my seat. “Hello Rebecca, how are you doing today?”“I am well. Thank you for taking good care of me yesterday. I truly enjoyed your company.” I confessed. He was really great anyway. He cooked for me, coffee and my lunch. I was not in the position of doing that for myself. And because of his good care, today I woke up as if nothing had happened to me.All these days I haven't studied at all. It's like I had forgotten what brought me
Mike's POVI have to confess my true feelings for Rebecca today. We have been friends for too long now, and I know her well. She is a good girl and I can see she will light up my world. She will make me the happiest man, and I would really take good care of her. I can't continue pretending that what I feel for her is purely friendship. I can no longer keep my feelings to myself.Furthermore, I gathered all my strength and when I saw her leaving class, I decided to follow her. I was used to walking her to the school gate, and today she was odd. She just left without telling me. “Today it's like you are rushing, have you forgotten about me?” I ask her jokingly. I tell her that I will be coming over to her house later at night. I wait until it's already 8 pm, then I decide to go. I knocked and she invited me in. I saw her wearing her pajamas and she looked perfect and beautiful. She is a simple girl and I love the way she behaves herself. She is also hardworking, kind and beautiful. What
Rebecca’s POVMy poor Carlos must be worried about why I have been so quiet lately. I know he has called me multiple times now, and I have not replied to any of his calls or messages. I missed him greatly and all this time without us talking it felt like I hadn't seen him in ages. Things have not been easy for me either. Things with Mike have been terrible. He has been avoiding me since he last visited me to confess his true feelings. It has been almost a week now since I last talked to him. After all the things that happened between us, I understand him. I don't mean to hurt him even more. It’s better for things to remain this way between us.I thought maybe we would continue with our friendship. I had lost a good friend, and things between us might never be the same again. To tell the truth, I miss him. I miss talking to him, I miss him coming over to my house, all the chats we had and all the laughter. I miss it all. I have lost it forever.It is on Friday and the whole of this wee
Rebecca's POV“Today you look so happy. What is happening to you?” Bridget asked me when we were at the hotel. I noticed she had been looking at me so much today. I was in a good mood today, unlike other days this week.“Yes my friend. Things today are so good for me.” I replied, smiling broadly.Today there were not so many customers, so we had some time to chat with Bridget. That was the only thing we were good at when we were together.“By the way, you never told me about that boy who was waiting for you that time, you remember.” This girl never forgets anything. I had told her I was going to tell her when I had spare time, and I guess today is that time.“I will tell you. But not now.” I try to convince her“No, tell me now before this place floods with people. You will not get time by then, I know.”“Ok, let me tell you. He was my friend, and he had told me he would come over. I did not know he was coming to express his feelings for me.” I finally say.“Oh, that is romantic. How d
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
