Rebecca's POVCarlos seemed to have calmed down now. I sometimes did not like his jealous side, but I had to bear it. I loved him anyway, and if you love someone, you have to love their negative sides too.We were happy now and every time we argued and reconciled our love became stronger. I believe that is how we came this far without breaking up. We leave the school and start heading back. Carlos was funny at times, and he made me laugh uncontrollably.We reach near the house and I notice Nica. She looks like she is about to leave. I bet she has been waiting for me for a while. She looks really exhausted. I know she is coming from the club by the way she is dressed. She turns around and looks at us.“Nica, what are you doing here? Have you waited for long?” I ask her immediately and she looks at me. It’s like she was not happy when she saw the both of us together. She sometimes behaved in such a manner I did not understand, but deep down I believed she was a good person.“I came to c
Nica’s POVI can't help but feel jealous of Rebecca. She is so happy with Carlos, and I want to feel the same way with him. I have to make this plan work. I can't lose. As I was about to leave her house, I remembered her birthday will be coming soon, so I asked her just to be sure about the date. I intend to plan a surprise for her, and that is where I will execute my plan. I have to make it perfect and real. I confirmed it's one week from now. I have all the time I need to make sure everything works as I plan it. “Carlos is mine and that is how it’s going to be forever.” I say to myself as I leave her house. I am exhausted from all the drinking and chatting. But I have to break the good news to Jacob. He has to know I have found a date. The only thing remaining is the place where we will hold the birthday. He has given me his number, so I decided to call him. The only hard part about all this is I have to give out myself to have Carlos. I hope he will be worth the sacrifice.“Hello
Nica’s POVFinally it was over. I was done with Jacob, and now all he had to do was help me fulfil the plan.“You are such a sweet girl,” He said as he came off me. He has been there for several minutes now. It has been disgusting hearing him mourn and enjoy me. But it is over now. All I have to do is rush to the shower to wash it off.“Oh! Veronica. I never knew you were this good.” He continued saying as he started to dress up.“It’s ok. So, all we have to do is concentrate on the plan now.” I cut him short. I could not allow him to continue praising me. I knew how precious I was. That is why I know Carlos won’t be able to resist me once I get that filthy Rebecca away from him for good.“Ok. I will be updating you about all that. About where we will hold the party, we can rent a house and say it’s one of your family’s. You are rich anyway, so no one will doubt you.” He suggested.That idea was brilliant and I did not oppose it. I agreed with it immediately. Since I had no time to was
Rebecca’s POVWe get to the party and people are already there. Drinks and food are plenty, thanks to Nica. I was the only person missing, making the birthday complete. The place was beautifully decorated with my pictures all over the place. There was also a projector which showed my pictures on the wall. No one has ever done such things for me, and I felt very precious. People welcomed me with a lot of warmth. I could tell they were happy to see me.“There is a special chair for your Rebecca and Carlos.” Nica said as she held my hand and showed me the place.“Thanks Nica.” I said to her as we both sat down. Since I was here already, the party was about to begin. I did not like to stay for too long since I was shaking from fear. I don’t know if I can make it without doing any damage.“The dress looks beautiful on you, Rebecca.” She whispered in my ear.I was happy she liked it. If she said it was perfect, then I trust her. She has better taste than me anyway.“Ladies and gentlemen, the
Rebecca’s POVI just stood frozen at the same point for over an hour. I could not believe what had just happened. The party was already ruined, and the guests had left already. I was left there alone; Even Nica, my best friend, was nowhere to be seen. She left me in this all alone without even coming to my rescue, and Carlos, “ooh, my Carlos, I have to call him.” I said to myself.I went to where we sat last and luckily, my purse was there. I took out my phone and dialed Carlos' number, but it went straight to voice mail. I know he will never pick my call. I had to look for him to explain that everything that happened was not true, I wasn’t myself that day and I don’t remember a thing. “But what about the pictures, how do I explain that.” I asked myself. I knew that I had to be really honest with him and tell him what had really happened that day. I know he can’t remain angry at me forever.I got out of the party house, and it was freezing outside, I had forgotten my jacket at my house
Nica’s POVFinally, my plan has worked and Jacob has managed to make it real and perfect. I can’t forget the look on Rebecca’s face when she saw the pictures. I knew Jacob won’t fail me, and I don’t blame myself for trusting him. He has managed to break up Rebecca and Carlos without getting my hands dirty. Rebecca still thinks I am her best friend, but she is mistaken because I am done with her. I don’t want anything to do with her anymore, and she can think whatever she wants. I don’t care.Likewise, I decided to leave the party house and just disappear from there. I would rather not console her. I can’t fake it anymore. She can deal with her problems by herself. The party was ruined already, and I was delighted things turned out the way I expected. The beautiful Rebecca was now crying and sobbing, with her eyes red. I wanted to see her that way, and when Carlos left her alone and went outside was when my heart was overjoyed. I wanted her to feel rejection from the man she loves. I ju
Nica’s POV“Rebecca, why are you doing this to me?” Carlos asked me when we were already at my house. “Was he mistaking me for that useless lady or what?” I asked myself. I would rather not be compared with anybody, and especially not her.“Carlos, are you ok.” I asked him.“Yeah, I am ok Veronica, don’t worry about me. I am so tired from today, I just want to sleep.” He said. I knew the alcohol he took was taking him so bad, and this was the opportunity I wanted. Since he was already here, I will not let this chance slide. I must taste what Rebecca was getting all these years.“Let me take you to bed then, sweetheart.” I said as I lifted him up. Since he was not so drunk, he stood all by himself. It was not so hard for me.I laid him on my beautiful bed and just stared at him. He looked so handsome, and I could not believe he was in my house and on top of my bed today. It was like a dream come true. All that I have wished for all this time, I will get them today.I went on top of him
Rebecca’s POVI don’t even sleep tonight. My entire mind was on Carlos, and he had switched off his phone after the last time I called him. He had not returned home, and I was worried sick. I know he might do something stupid that he will come to regret later. This was the first time I felt terrified that he might not come back to me. I don’t know how to handle being away from him after we had stayed together for such a long time.I decided to text Veronica, I thought she might help me talk to him. I know she will because I was with her when all this happened. I try to think harder about what happened that day after I had collapsed, but I have no memory of it. My mind is completely blank. I just feel that everything that man said was just lies. Maybe he was paid by someone to do that. “But who would do that kind of thing to me?” I ask myself. As far as I remember, I don’t have enemies. All I have is one friend, and that is Nica. I never had time to make new friends because I was always
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
