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
Mia's POV.Raphael drops me at home and I thank him. I am glad that Serah has someone like him in her life because he is so caring. I know that my sister will be happy with him once their relationship starts.I was happy that Serah's delivery went well. Finally, our baby boy was here. 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. I will come see you tomorrow morning.Serah - ok sister. I will be waiting for you. I hope they will discharge me soon. I just want to be home already.Me — you will be out of there s
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. I just wish nothing but happiness for her.In exactly five minutes, Raphael arrives. He opens his door car for me and I enter inside. He starts
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
Brandon's POV.“Daddy.”I am about to open the gate when I hear Lucy calling out to me. I turn back my head and I see her running towards me.“Princess.” I say as I let go of my bag and I receive her in my arms.“Daddy, please don't leave me. I can't live without you. Don't leave me, daddy, please.” She says crying her eyes out.“Princess. I am not leaving you. I just have an important work that and I have to leave. I promise you, when I come back, I will bring you plenty of presents.” I try to calm her down.“Daddy, can I go with you? I don't want to stay here without you. “ She asks.“What about your school? You have to go to school, baby. So I can't take you with me. But I promise you that we will talk to each other everyday through your phone. And if you need anything you will just have to ask, and I will give it to you.” I say.“I will miss you, daddy.” She says as she hugs me. “ I will miss you, princess. But I will come back to you. Don't worry. Now go inside to your mummy." I
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
Raphael's POV.I am woken up by my alarm. It was already 7.00am. I slowly get up from the bed. I had had a good night sleep, and I am happy. I feel so great, and I know I will feel even better once I shower.I pick up my phone and I call Serah. I wanted to know how they were doing. Me — my love. How are you?Serah - we are ok, my love.Me — how is Gael. Has he improved?Serah. — yes, my love. He keeps lifting his fingers more often now. I am so happy for him. He will wake up soon. How about you? Did you have a good night sleep?Me — yes, I did. I have woken up now. Should I send you some food and clothes? I am sorry I won't be able to come today. I have to go to my hometown to see my dad.Serah - yes, please do that, my love. I will really appreciate. Just drive safely.Me — I will. I will inform you when I get there. Kiss Gael for me. I miss seeing him.Serah - ok, my love. I love you.Me — I love you.I get up, head to the bathroom and I take my bath. After I am done with the dress
Raphael's POV.I come back to the ward feeling so happy. At long last, my parents have realized their mistake, and they have finally decided to accept Serah as their daughter-in-law. It felt so wonderful. I just cannot believe that my father let go of his ego and he accepted Serah. It just seemed impossible, but I am glad he did. Finally, I can marry Serah and together we will be one big happy family.“My love. How is Gael now.” I ask Serah.I found her staring at her son. “I saw him move his fingers again. I think he is about to wake up. Maybe he can even hear us.” Serah says and I rush to check.“Son, if you can hear us. Can you try to move your fingers again.” I softly speak to Raphael's ear.I see his fingers move again.“My love. Can you see that? This is so amazing. I am so happy.” Serah says.“Serah, come here. I want to say something to you." I say to Serah. I take her hand and I make her sit right beside me.“What is it, my love. You are scaring me. Ever since we started
Raphael's POV.I am shocked to see my mother at the hospital. I even thought that I was dreaming. But when Serah talked to me, I now believe she was here.I wonder why she came. I hope it is not about Elena because if that is the case, then I will not listen to her. I will chase her out of here because I want nothing to do with a family that does not respect my decisions. I would rather stay alone. I take the food Serah had brought for me and I sit down to eat. I was starving and I eat hungrily. Serah always made so delicious foods. She was always the best and I will never leave her. She is mine forever. I am going to stick with her forever.After I am done, I go inside the washroom and I clean myself up before wearing the clothes Serah had brought for me. She always knew what to wear, and she had brought for me the best clothes. I smile as I stare at myself in the mirror. I now feel so fresh and full thanks to my woman. I just love her and every day I thank the heavens that I met a
Serah's POV.I lie down to sleep. This is the first time in months that I hear good news. My son's health was improving, and I felt so nice about it. * * * * * * * *I wake up, and it's morning already. When I check my phone it was already 9.00 am and I had two missed calls from Raphael. I guess he was worried about me. I mean I usually wake up so early to head to the hospital but today, I overslept. I decide to call him.Raphael — my love, are you alright? I was so worried about you.Me — I am fine, my love. I just woke up. I have slept so much today.Raphael — Glad to hear that. I Will be waiting for you here at the hospital. Me — I will come right away after preparing something for you to eat. Hospital food is not that good. I want you to eat something nice.Raphael — I will be waiting for you.Raphael says, and I disconnect the phone with a smile on my face. It felt so nice whenever I talked to him.I get out of my bed and I head to the shower. After I am done, I put on my clot
Raphael's POV.After some months, we are still in the hospital. Gael was still in the coma and that was worrying me the most. In those few months, he had received blood more than three months. His health was getting better little by little, and we hoped for good news soon.The gunshot wounds were so deep. That is why it was taking long for them to heal. It has been months of stress and agony. Serah spend most of her time crying. She looked as if she had lost hopes. But I remained strong just for her.“My love. Just go home and rest. I will stay in the hospital tonight.” I say to her.“I want to be here Rapha. Please let me spend the night here with you. Our son might wake up tonight. I don't want to miss that chance of seeing him opening his eyes.” She says.“Just go. Please, you look so tired and I want you to get enough rest. I will call you immediately something happens. You will be the first person to know. I promise you that, my love.” I say to her.“Ok, my love. Mia will take m
Raphael's dad POV.After some months.I open my eyes, and I see this bright light in the room. “Where am I?” I ask.I can't remember what had happened to me. My memory was just blank.“What happened to me. Why can't I remember anything?” I ask out loud.I hear the door opening and I turn my head to look. I recognized the face immediately. It was my wife coming in. I am glad she is here. She can answer the countless questions I had.“Darling. You are awake already?” She says immediately she sees me. She comes and gives me a tight hug.“What happened to me?” I ask her.“You can't remember?” She asks.“Yes, I can't remember anything. My mind is just as blank as a plain paper. Please clarify things for me. I might be able to remember a bit.” I say to her.“There is a time three months ago, you went for a business trip. You had promised to return the following day, but you never came home. I only got a call saying that you are involved in a greasy road accident. When I got there, you were
Brian's POV.I find out that I have a son in the most horrible way. I just could not believe Serah had lied to me back then. But I know she had her reasons if doing that. I know he wanted me to stay as far away from his son as possible.“Gael, what a beautiful name. My son, I have a son. So unbelievable.” I say while smiling in my car.I just could not believe it. But I felt bad, knowing that he was fighting for his life right now. I will do anything to make sure that he survives this. I will give him my blood.I follow Serah's car from behind. I know she must be really heartbroken. She's trying really hard to stay strong, but I know deep inside her. She was hopeless.I feel bad for judging her a few days ago. But in real sense I was the one who hurt her the most in this world and every day, I live with that guilt. I hope one day she will forgive me. * * * * * * * *We arrive at the hospital. And I come out of the car. I am shocked to see Serah and another man coming out of their car
