Austin's POV.She is so surprised when I tell her about her friend. She is so evil, and I really could not stay without telling her about Olivia. I love her so much, and I just could not let her stay in the dark while I knew everything about her friend. As expected, she looked so shocked, and definitely she could not believe her ears.“Does it mean when she told me she had a date, it was you.” She asks.“Yes, it was me. I am saying all this because I would rather not keep you in the dark, darling. I want us to be honest with each other always and protect our love.” I say. "I remember that day she came home really late. The reason why I am saying this is because I was not sleeping yet when she came back from the date. What were you discussing that whole time.” She asks.“You mean she came in late that night. The truth is I left the restaurant early when she started saying her rubbish words. Actually, she harassed me so much that day that I became irritated with her.” I say.“Maybe she
Carlos POVI really regret allowing Veronica into my house. She just made me feel so weak, and I allowed her to do whatever she wanted with me. But when she was done, I chased her out of my house. I decided that it will be the last time I allow her to touch me. I wonder what charm she used on me. Because every time she touched me, she made me crave her. I hated this feeling, but there was no way I could say no to her. So this is the second day I have not heard from her after our last argument. I think she had finally realized I will never give her a chance in my life anymore. It was a good thing that she will never bother me again. I am about to leave my house when my phone rings. Since I did not have work, yet, I was looking for one. I was planning that by the time I had Rebecca by my side, I will have gotten a job already.Actually, I had a job where I was staying with Nica but after I found out the truth I just quitted and came searching for my love Rebecca. It was my savings that
Nica's POV.I open my eyes again and i see the doctor with Carlos. It's like they were talking to each other about something. I could not hear what they were discussing. He turns and smiles at me, and I smile back at him. I feel so relaxed seeing him around here. At least I have him by my side. I love him and I know he loves me too. That is all I could ask for.“How are you feeling now.” Carlos asks me. And honestly, my head feels like it was burning from the inside. It seems like the medicine the doctor was giving me was not working on me anymore. “I feel better, babe. The only problem is my head. It is really aching. But the medicines were working, but I guess not anymore. It is like my head is becoming resistant to medicine.” I say.The doctor looks at me and comes closer to my bed. He takes his touch and looks with it in my eyes. “Is there something wrong with me, doctor?” I ask. I could feel that something was not right from the was Carlos was staring at me. There was something
Carlos POV.Since I know if I call Rebecca, she won't pick up the phone, I decided to go over to her house. I know her place and it is still early. I know I will find her not gone to work yet. I set out of the hospital immediately, so I can make it on time. When I got to her place, I knocked for the first time, but there was no response. I decided to try the second time, but the results were the same. Maybe I came in after she had left. It was better if I followed her to the office. I know I will get a chance to speak to her there, since it was important. I just hope she will listen to me. “Hey. Who are you looking for” I hear someone speaking to me. I turn around, and it is a certain lady I have never set my eyes on. She was so pretty, but not as pretty as my Rebecca.“I am looking for Rebecca. Do you know her?" I asked her. “Yeah, I do. We are neighbors and also work at the same place.” She says.“Has she left for work already?" I asked her.“No, she did not sleep here last night
Rebecca's POV“Olivia is dying.” I cannot get this word out of my head. It had ruined my day completely. She had hurt me, but I have never wished anything bad on her.I don't understand why she wants to see me, but I will just go and hear what she has to say. I will never forgive myself when she dies without her saying what she wanted to say to me. Even though she had spoiled my relationship, I hold no grudge against her. The only thing I will never do is to trust her again.I decided to let Austin know what was happening and also to ask for permission to go to the hospital. I was informed she only had a few days to live, so any minute could be the last minute for her. I feel so sorry for her, even though she was the one who had hurt me the most.“Baby.” I say immediately I walk into Austin's office. “What is the matter sweetheart. Why are you in such a hurry, darling.” He says as he comes rushing to me. He takes me in his arms, then kisses me on my forehead.“Carlos came here, babe.”
Carlos POV.I was expecting to see Rebecca alone, but she came with her stupid boyfriend. I had to watch them from afar because I know Austin won't spare me if he sees me, considering all the lies I fed him that day about her. Despite that, they are still together and so much in love. It seems their love is so strong, and it will be difficult for me to separate them. So, it was a good thing if I joined hands with Olivia. I will never allow them to be together.They leave immediately after talking to Veronica. They looked perfect together and I envy them. After watching them leave, I walked to Nica's room. She was still crying when I walked in. “I am sorry you found me like this.” She says, while trying to wipe away the tears, which obviously she could not do it. “Calm down.” I say as I help her wipe them. I noticed she was pale. Her eyes were turning white, it looked like she did not have blood in her stream. This made me worry so much about her.“Have you contacted my parents?” She
Rebecca's POV“Babe, Carlos has called me.” I say to Austin immediately. I hung up Carlos call. I was sleeping at his house today. I was afraid of sleeping alone today after seeing Veronica earlier.“What did he want now.” He asks.“He called to tell me that Veronica is no more and that her parents had already arrived at the hospital. He was asking if I will go.” I say to him.“Babe. If you don't feel like going, don't go. I will support you with every decision you will make. I will just listen to you, my darling.” He says as he draws me close to him.“Babe, I don't want to go. But what will people think about me. So, it is better if I go. Just for a few minutes, then I will leave. Will you go with me, baby? I don't want to be alone at a time like this.” I said to him. “Of course, I will go with you.” He says.Even though Veronica had done so many bad things to me. I never wanted to repay her with evil. So, I will just go and be with her parents in this tough time. It is not good to
After one year.Rebecca's POVIt is one year now since the departure of Veronica. I don't dream about her any more like the past days. It was hell for me, but I am glad I got out of it.In this one year, my bond with Austin had grown so much stronger, and I was so happy with him like I had never been before. I had broken all ties with Olivia and even moved out of the house where I was living near her. I was glad when Austin moved me to another department. So, I was not seeing her all the time. I was used to staying away from her, and I liked it that way.I maintained her distance from her, and in turn, she respected my decision. I haven't talked to her for over six months now. Carlos, too, I haven't heard from him since the day we said goodbye to Nica. Actually, it was a good thing. I know he had already given up on me. He saw I could never be with him since I was already with Austin. He will find another girl soon after Veronica. There were plenty of girls out her. But not me. I was
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
