Serah's POV.“How was your check-up?” Mia asks me immediately she walks home.“It went fine, sister. Everything is fine with the baby. Here are his first pictures." I say as I hand the ultrasound pictures to her.“Wow, he looks so cute. I even want to hold him already.” She says while looking at the picture.“He will be here soon. Don't worry sister." I say to her.“By the way. Why didn't you call me?, I heard there were drivers strike today. So how did you get home?” Mia asks.“Raphael helped me. He is the one who took me home with his car.” I say.“Raphael?, do you mean the same guy who saved you that day?” She asks.“Yes. He is the one.” I say.“Well, I am glad he found you. Maybe he is your guardian angel. I mean, he is the one who rescues you every time you are in trouble.” She says.“It was just another coincidence sister. But I am grateful that he saved me yet again.” I say“Maybe he is just following you around, Serah. What if he is in love with you?” Mia suggests.“Mia. No o
Serah's POV.I am woken up by a sharp pain on my waist. I immediately get up and I sit. The pain was sharp and unbearable. It's like I was having labor pains.“No, not this soon. I have one week left” I say in confusion. The pain goes away for about five minutes before coming back again. I get off the bed because I just could not stay there anymore. I take my phone to call Mia. But she was not responding. I decide to call her again, but it was the same. She was not answering. I panic. I wonder why she was not taking my calls when I needed her. “What do I do now.” The pain was too much, and I just hope that my water will not break.“Maybe I should call Raphael. He might help me.” I say as I dial his number. He picks up immediately.Raphael — Serah, tell me. Is there anything wrong?Me — I think the baby is coming and Mia is not taking my calls, please help me.Raphael — just hold on. I am coming to pick you up and take you to the hospital. I will be there in a few minutes.He says,
Mia's POV.“So many missed calls from Serah. What is going on?” I say as my heart ponds so hard in my chest.I have had a busy day and I did not get time to check my phone. I wonder how she was doing. She must have wondered a lot why I did not take her calls.I dial her number and I call her. But she does not take my call. So I decide to call her again. I really hoped she would answer. I was worried about her. “Hello, Mia?” A male voice says. Me — who is this? And what are you doing with my sister's phone. Where is Serah?I ask in confusion. My heart was racing, had inside my chest. Raphael — it's me, Raphael.Me — Raphael? Where is Serah. Why do you have her phone?Raphael — we are in the hospital. Your sister is undergoing a surgery right now. She tried to call you severally, but you were not responding. That is why she decided to call me. I was the one who took her to the hospital.Me — which hospital? I was so busy today that is why I could not pick her calls. But I am on my wa
Raphael's POV.I am glad that Serah had a safe delivery. That was what I wanted to hear that her and the baby were safe.Serah and I have become so close. I helped her during her entire pregnancy period. She always called me when she needed something. I was always there for her.My feelings for her started way back, but I decided to keep it a secret just to save our friendship. She already told me what happened between her and Brian and how he denied the pregnancy. I must admit that Brian is a heartless man. It just breaks my heart to know that Serah wanted to kill herself because of him. He never deserved Serah's love. That is why I decided to support her. I never wanted her to feel like she was aloneFrom the first day I met Serah. My life changed completely. I remember meeting her for the first time on the streets. She looked like she was undergoing a lot of stress and I just wanted to cheer her up, but she ended up getting angry with me. The second time, I met her on the road and

He was healthy and strong just like we have been praying for.I open the house and I enter. I was so tired today and I just wanted to rest. I straight go into the kitchen and I prepare my meal. I was starving, and I hurriedly eat my food before retiring to bed. I take my phone and I call Serah. I just wanted to know how she was doing. I just hope that her and the baby are fine.Serah - sister.Me — are you ok, Serah. And how is the baby.Serah - I am fine, sister. The baby is sleeping right now.Me — that is nice to hear.

Mia's POV.I wake up feeling so bad. I had a terrible headache. I just could not get any sleep last night after my encounter with Brandon. He just made my night so terrible.I struggle to get off my bed. I was so tired, but I had to go see Serah. I know she was waiting for me right now. I head into the shower to clean myself up, and I feel somehow better after I am done. I prepare my breakfast and I have it before leaving.When I reach the door, my phone rings and it was Raphael calling.Me — hello, Raphael.Raphael — hello, are you out yet? I want us to go together to the hospital. Should I come fetch you?Me — yes. I am at the door already.Raphael — wait for me. Five minutes and I will be there.I decide to wait for him. He was so caring and loving, and I just wish that Brandon was like him. Serah is so lucky, and I am just happy for her.

Mia's POV. I get to work and I am so tired. My head was just thinking about Brandon. I was so tired of thinking about him. But I just could not control it. He was the love of my life, and it was so difficult to stay away from him. I change into my work attire and I start my work. “Where is that prostitute of a woman. Who snatches peoples husbands? I know she works here. I want to teach her a lesson.” I hear a woman shouting from outside. The manager immediately goes to see who was disrupting the peace at the hotel. “Who are you and why are you shouting at this hotel. You are scaring away my customers.” The manager says in anger. “I am sorry sir, but I am looking for a certain woman. I don't know her name, but I know her face. She is sleeping with my husband. Because of her, my husband and I separated. I want to see the woman who ruined my beautiful family. I am so angry at her. I am going to kill her today." The woman continues to shout. “Madam. I will ask you to leave fr
Brandon's POV.I feel so bad for Mia. She has gone through a lot because of me. I don't know if she will ever forgive me now. But I will never give up on her. I will do anything to acquire her forgiveness.I watch her as she leaves to go continue with her work. She looked so embarrassed. Clearly she never expected this, but it had happened already. I leave the hotel feeling very disappointed at myself. I failed to protect the woman I love so much. The woman who means the world to me. I don't know what I will do to make it up to her. I head straight home to check on my daughter. I wanted to take my things. I was going to leave home. When we had divorced with Amelia, we agreed to stay under the same roof for the sake of our daughter. We slept in different rooms, though. But now, I just cannot stay under the same roof with her. Or else I will be suffocated by her presence. I get home and I find my daughter sleeping on the couch. Her name is Lucy. I feel sorry for her because she will
Serah's POV.I said yes to Raphael's proposal. Finally, I will be a bride. It was so wonderful. It was always my dream to get married to him and it was finally happening. Everything was finally going to its place.We start the marriage preparations instantly. There was no time to waste. We set the wedding date a month from now. I just could not believe it. We had so much to do in a little time.* * * * * * * *After a month.The day is here, my wedding day. The day I have been waiting for was finally here. My sister Mia was here by my side. She watched the makeup artists doing my makeup. I could see a bright smile on her face each time we made eye contact. I could say she was so happy for me. After all, she is my sister.After I am ready, the makeup artists excuses herself so that I can talk to Mia. She had requested some time so that we could have a little chat before the wedding.“My little sister, you look like a princess in that dress. You look so beautiful.” Mia says.“Thank you
Raphael's POV.After some weeks.“Welcome home my dear.” My mother says.I have spent these few weeks in the hospital after the blow I received from Brian.“Thank you mother.” I say to her.Serah was right beside me. She has been by my side all through, and I was so thankful to her.Brian was arrested and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment for attempted murder and kidnapping. I felt somehow sorry for him. He was hurting for his son a son he denied six years ago. It's so bad that he will now not be able to see his son grow up.“Where is Gael?” I ask Serah.“He is inside his room. He said he will make you something nice to welcome you inside the house.” She says.“So, I guess he is already used to this house.” I say.“Yes my love. I also love it here. The house is so big and nice. And also your parents love the two of us so much. I could never ask for more.” She says and I kiss her cute lips.“Yeah, my daddy is here.” I hear Gael shouting at me. In his hand, he was holding a paper w
Serah's POV.We reach Brian's door and I press the doorbell. The lights were still on so it means he was inside.“Who is it. I am coming.” He says out loud.He takes like two minutes before he finally opens the door.“What are you doing here Serah.” Brian says immediately he opens the door.“I am here for my son. I know you have him so don't pretend that you don't know what brought me here.” I say in anger.“What are you talking about. I don't have Gael. He was with you. Don't you remember that you never allowed me to see him? So I gave up, and I decided to continue with my life.” He says.“I don't believe you, so please let me in. I know Gael is inside there.” I say in anger.“I am sorry, but I have to ask you to leave my compound. Both you and your lover, please leave from here.” He says.“Brian, please. We know Gael is in there. We don't want to use force, so please let Serah pass. Likewise, we must search this house before we leave.” I hear Raphael saying. All this time he had rem
Serah's POV.I can't believe I got out so late from work today. I could not even get the chance to ask Brandon to pick up Gael from school.It was almost 6 when I get out of work and I immediately rush to Gael's school. I know he must be so tired right now. He got out from school about three hours ago. I take a cab and I rush to his school. When I get there, there was no one in the school. The compound did not even have a single person walking. Gael was also nowhere to be seen, and I panic. I start knocking on the school gate and the gate man comes running.“Madam, what are you doing here so late?" He asks.“I am looking for my son. I could not pick him up on time.” I say.“But there is no child in the school by now. I have locked all the classrooms already, and can assure you that there is no one.” He says.“Where is my son then. I am so worried right now.” I say.“Who is your son, madam.” The security guard asks“He is Gael. The one who was attacked a few months ago.” I say to ma
Brian's POV.It has been a month full of agony for me. This is because I could not see my son. I felt so lonely. I miss him so much, and I must soon see him. I have been busy with work that I was unable to get much time to go and see him. And this frustrated me so much. I wonder when I will make bond with my son. He must know me before he grows up. I must spend time with him while he is still a child because I don't want to miss the childhood memories of him.* * * * * * * *Today seems to be my lucky day because I finally get the time I have been wanting so badly. I was not going to work today because I was given a day off.I am so happy, and I decide to drop at Serah's town so that I can check on Gael. I know by now he was at school. Thanks to my sources, I get to know which school he studies in. So I will wait for him until he gets out of school. I will be the first person to pick him up today. And I will think of what I will do with him. I think I will run away with him. If Sera
Serah's POV.Brian's presence makes me so angry and shaken. I know he will keep his promise of taking Gael away from me. I don't know what I will do if that happens. I will be so heartbroken.“That will not happen, my love. We will protect Gael. Brian will never succeed in taking Gael from us.” Raphael says.His presence always makes me so confident. “Please don't ever leave me, my love. I will die for sure.” I say to Raphael.“My love. Please stop saying that. I am not going anywhere. Please dry your tears. There is a party going on inside. Let's pretend that this never happened.” Raphael says as he wipes away my tears. He was truly heaven sent.* * * * * * * * * *After a month.“My love, the breakfast is getting cold. What, are you not coming out of the room?"I say while placing the plates on the table. In this one month, my family has been the happiest. We spent most of the time in the house just having fun. I now feel so complete and happy. My son Gael has completely recovere
Brian's POV.I am so mad at Serah when I arrive in the hospital only to know that they were already discharged. “Doctor, is there any information as to where Serah lives?” I desperately ask the doctor.“I am sorry, but we don't give out personal information to people.” The doctor says.“But doctor, I am Gael's dad, and we are not in good terms with her mother, so I am sure if I call her, she won't tell me where she lives. That is why I am asking you to help me. I want to see my son. Please doctor.” I say to him.He thinks for like two minutes before giving me the address. I thank him and I rush outside.This is a house that Serah lives in. I now know why I could not find her when I went to look for her back then. It was only by luck that we met in the supermarket.I take my car and I start driving towards the address I was given. After I reach, I pack my car and I start heading inside.* * * * * * * *It looks like, there was a party going on inside. I reach the door and it was wide
Raphael's POV.“Place that here. Yes, there. It looks good.” I smile as I stare at Gael's photo. I had printed it earlier this morning. It was so big, just like him.“How is the decoration sir, do you love it?” The decorator asks.“It's perfect. I love it. Thank you for being here. Here is your payment. You may leave now.” I say to her, and she signals her team to leave.Today is when Gael was coming back home, so I had to make everything look perfect and beautiful. It has been two weeks now since he woke up from his coma and the doctors said he was doing better, and they discharged him.“I am sure Gael will love this. I want him to be happy. He deserves this.” I say.I then take my car keys and head outside. I take my car and I start driving to the hospital to pick up my family. I feel so happy and excited.I had informed my parents that Gael had a welcoming party today. But since my father was still not so well, they said that they will not make it. They just sent Gael's present and
Serah's POV Soft hands wake me up. I was so tired. Staying in the hospital was too tiring. I slowly open my eyes and I see Raphael staring at me. I slowly get up from the couch and I sit.“My love, you are back already?” I ask him.“Yes, my love. I came back some few minutes ago. You were sound asleep so I did not want to disturb you.” He says.“So, how was your trip. Did everything go well?” “Yes my love. My dad is doing so much better and he now accepts you. He asked met to tell you that once Gael is alright, then you can go see him. He has invited you over to our house. Both you and Gael.” Raphael says.“My love, why does he accept me so suddenly?” I ask. Something felt fishy to me. “He says, he feels guilty of what he did to me back then. He has also handed the company to me. So, I will be taking over the company.” He says.“That is a good thing, my love. Maybe it's true that your dad regrets his actions. I am happy that you have resolved the differences between you and your da
