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
Mia's POV.I am tired after today. One side of my face was so swollen from the beating I got earlier. I was on a lot of pain and I just wanted to reach home, so I could take some painkillers. After today's embarrassment, nobody wanted to talk to me. Not even my closest friends. They felt so ashamed of me, and I just kept quiet. There was no need to force myself on them. I know they thought so ill of me. They have already branded me as a husband snatcher in their minds.Just like any other day, I change my clothes and I take my bag. Today, nobody wished me a goodnight, not even my closest friend at work. I felt so bad, but there was nothing I could do.I reach home and I take a quick shower before dressing up. I had to go see Serah. Since morning, we have not talked. I know she will have countless questions concerning my face injury. So I will have to tell her the truth of what happened. There was no need in keeping her in the dark.When I reach the hospital, I find Serah talking to R
Brandon's POV.I am so happy that Mia has chosen to forgive me. I promise myself never to do bad to her again. I will now focus on my next move, and that is to marry her. We make passionate love, and I am so relieved. It has been months now since we last made love, and it felt like I was in paradise. I have never felt like this before.“Darling.” I say.“Tell me baby” she says.“Where is Serah your sister. I have noticed I have not been seeing her around. Is she ok?" I ask.“She is at the hospital.” “What happened?” I ask.“She is fine. She just delivered her baby.” Mia says.“Wow. That is so nice. I am glad to hear that. Is it a boy or girl” I ask?“It's a baby boy. Actually, she hasn't given him a name yet. I wonder what name she will him. She says.“You don't have a clue, ?” I ask.“Yes. Serah has not given me any clue concerning the name of the baby. I will just have to wait and see what name he will be given." Mia says.“I will love to see the baby. When is she going to be dis
Mia's POV.Brandon leaves the house in such a hurry, and I am worried about him. He is such a caring father and I know he will be there for our baby when we finally have one. After twenty minutes after he had left my place. I take my phone to know how the situation is. I know by now he will know what happened to Amelia. She is such a strange woman. I wonder what made her to harm herself in the presence of her young daughter. Brandon answers the phone, immediately I call him.Brandon — darling.Me — darling, how is Amelia?Brandon — She is dead. I found her lying down in a pool of blood. She stabbed herself in the neck.Me — What? This is so bad. So what are you doing right now?Brandon — the police are here. They are taking pictures of Amelia's body. I wonder why she did this to herself. Me — baby, I wish I would have been there with you. I am sorry that this had to happen. How is your daughter?Brandon — I don't know what to say because she has witnessed her mother killing herself
Surah's POV.Finally, I am back home. I spent several days at the hospital, and it was always so boring there, and I just wanted to be discharged.I sit down as I wait for Mia to come back. She had taken the baby to sleep in my room. All I can say is, it's not easy to be a mom. My baby used to cry a lot at night when I was in the hospital, and I am glad because today it was different. He has been sleeping for hours now.“The baby is asleep now in your comfortable bed.” Mia says when she was back.“Thank you sister. For taking really good care of me. This journey has been easy all because of you.” I say.“Serah. I am your sister, I am sure you would have done the same for me if I was in your shoes.” Mia says.“Yes, that is true” I say.“But you are forgetting something, serah.” Mia says.“What is that?” I ask.“You are forgetting Raphael. He has also been a great help to you. I like him very much, and I want the two of you to be together. So if you love him, then I suggest that you sh
Brandon's POV.After one week.I stand at the grave of Amelia. My ex-wife holding my daughter's arm. She was still crying for the loss of her mother, but I know she will get over this with the right guidance. I carry her, and we slowly go to my car. It has been a tough week. Amelia's family hated me so much, and they informed that I should leave their compound immediately after the burial. They even asked me to take my child along. Since it was a suicide, there was no case. I guess that angered them more since they could not get justice for their daughter.I start driving my car. I had a really long way to go, and I was also so tired. But there was no choice than to take my daughter home. She was also tired, and I just wanted her to rest. “Daddy, are we leaving mummy behind. I don't want to.” Lucy says while crying.“Don't worry baby. We will be coming back to see her. So don't cry now.” I say to her. “Ok daddy.” She says.“Sleep now baby. We have a long way to go. Are you hungry?
Raphael's pov.We spend the whole night searching for Gael but we could not find him. He just vanished without any trace. I wonder who kidnapped him in our house. I wonder what tactic he used in kidnapping him without us noticing. In the morning, I decide to go to the police and the Search for Gael begins immediately.I return home and I find Serah crying. Her eyes were all swollen up and she looked pale."My love, any news about our son.?" She asks immediately she sees me.I just hate it seeing her this way. I feel like I failed her so much. I failed to protect her and our son."No, my love but the search is on going. Let's hope soon we will get some good news." I say to her."This is killing me, my love. I don't know what to do anymore." She says and I take her into my arms and I hold her tight."We are together in this my love. So please calm down. We will find Gael together. Freshen up so we can go out. I will not leave you at home alone this time around." I say to her as I kis
Raphael's dad POV.I enter Serah's town and it is now nighttime. I straight head to my warehouse which it was in that town. No one even Raphael knows that it exists. That is where I did my illegal business. There is no day that the police suspected or raided the warehouse. So I considered it my safe place.After a few minutes, I stop the car In front of the warehouse. I take my gun and I place it in my trouser on my waist as I walk inside the warehouse.My men welcome me inside. “Where is he?” I say. There was no time to waste. I needed to get the work done as soon as possible.“He is here, sir.” One of my men says.I head to where he was kept. They had tied his hands and legs. He was sleeping right now. And I just hate it. I bend down, and I give him hot slaps which make him wake up that instant.“Get up, stupid boy.” I say to him. “I'm sorry, sir.” He says, crying his eyes out. “Just stay quiet.” I shout at him. I hated this boy so much. He is the one connecting Serah and Raphae
Raphael's dad POV.For the second time, Elena's words hurt me deeply. I get into my car and I start heading home. I know this is the last time I will ever set my eyes on her again. She is so determined to leave my son for good. No matter how hard I try to convince her, I know it will just be in vain. After what my son did, it will be so hard for her to trust me again. I stop the car after I reach my home. I slowly walk inside the house and I throw myself on the couch.“Lydia, Lydia.” I shout my maids name. “Yes, sir.” She says while coming running towards me.“Is my wife back.” I ask her.She had gone to church to pray for our son to return home safely. She was always so concerned about that son of hers. But Raphael is just spoiled. I will never forgive him for hurting Elena. I must punish him and that Serah. She must pay for ruining my son's life. “No, sir.” She says.“Ok, bring me some water.” I say as I lean on the couch. Elena's rejection this time, made my heart break comple
Raphael's POV.“Daddy, will you come to our school tomorrow? There will be a singing competition and I will be taking part in it. I want you to come.” My son asks me while I was picking him from school.It was not a rich school like the one he was studying it previously. But it was somehow good, so I know he will get a good education here.“So you want your daddy to come. Did you tell your friends that your daddy is here.” I ask him.“Yes, daddy, I did. I want all my friends to see how good-looking you are. They always boasted about their fathers, so I also want them to see my father." He says and I smile. This little boy loves me so much, and I will do anything to protect him from my father. I love him so much, and I will be here for him, no matter what happens. He is my son and he will forever be.“Ok, I will come. I will show all your friends how handsome your daddy looks.” I say, and I could see a smile on his face. “Thank you daddy. I am so happy.” He says as he gives me a hug.
Elena's POV.Ever since I chased Raphael's dad out of the hospital, he has never come back again. I guess I was right. His love for me was just fake. I regret trusting him. I will never make the same mistake I made before. After I am discharged. I will go back to my home with my parents. This town was filled with so many horrible moments for me. I will never come back here. I am pretty so I know I will find some other man, and together we will live a happy life. I will try my best to get Raphael out of her mind and heart. I know if I am far from him, I will move on.“How are your legs. Can you move them.” The nurse asks me.“I can move them a bit. But they are still somehow painful. Nurse, when will you release me from here? I have spent two months, and I am tired of seeing the same environment day in day out.” I say.The hospital was just making me sick. I wanted to get out of this place sooner. I know I will heal faster if I am not in hospital.“Your parents are processing your dis
Raphael's dad POV. I get home feeling so down. I can't believe Elena did that to me. I mean chasing me out of the hospital. It was so embarrassing moment for me. But I don't blame her because she is just bitter. I know her heart still aches because of what my son did to her. So I understand what she is going through. I sit down on the chair and I lean my back in it. It has been like five weeks ever since the wedding failed and during this whole period, Raphael was nowhere to be seen. My men could not find them either, and it was now worrying me. 'Where could he have gone to? And where can I find him?' were constant questions in my head. “You are back early. Is everything ok in the hospital.” I hear my wife asking me. “Yes, Elena just woke up. But she chased me out of the hospital. I guess she feels betrayed by me. That is why she did that.” I say. The pain of being rejected by her was so much. I felt terrible inside. “Well, I think it's better if we cut ties with them as
Elena's POV.After some few weeks.I open my eyes and I find myself lying on a bed. I just could not feel my body. It's like I had paralyzed. I try to lift my arm, but it was so heavy for me to life. I look around, and I see that I am in a hospital. “I am I sick.” I ask myself.I just don't remember what happened to me. The memories were just blurry in my head. No matter how much I tried to remember, I could remember anything. “What happened. I remember that I was about to get married. But I don't remember anything after that. What is happening?" I ask myself over and over again.“Ooh, so you are already up, my dear. It has been a while since I last saw you open your pretty eyes.” I hear my mother say.“Mother, what happened to me?” I ask her with tears in my eyes."Don't you remember, my dear?, some man hit you with his car. You were in such a bad shape. It was only a miracle that you survived.“Car accident?” I ask with shock in my voice. That explains my pain. My whole body was
Serah's POV.I am shocked to see Raphael in my house. I had missed him so much. At one point I had thought that I lost him forever. But I guess that was not the case. He came back for me. And this time round I promise to never ever leave him. He is mine forever, and I will never ever leave him for another woman.* * * * * * *After long embrace, we finally let go of each other. I check his clothes, and he looks like he was coming from a wedding. “Rapha, this suit…” I try to speak and he shuts me up.“Sit, let me explain everything to you my love.” He says.I signal Gael to go to his room, and he slowly walks to his room. I am left with Raphael. I was so eager to hear what he wanted to say to me.“Tell me, my love. I am listening.” I say.“Well, I am sorry Serah. I was about to marry another woman today. It was my dad who forced me to be with her. But, my heart and soul is yours. I just can't live without you my love.” He says.“So, you ran away from the wedding?” I ask.“Yes my love.
Raphael's POV.I reach Serah's town and I stop my car In front of Serah's house. I had not changed my wedding suit. I just did not remember and that was so wrong of me. I don't know where I was thinking because I should have changed first before coming here. I open my car and I come out. The last time I came here, Serah was alone in the house. I hope she is there too just like the last time.I gather my courage and I walk to the house and I knock on the door. It takes a few minutes for someone to open the door. But it was not Serah who was standing on the door but Mia. I feel so disappointed.“Raphael? What are you doing here.” Mia asks. She was so surprised to see me.“I want to explain everything to Serah. Can I see her please?” I ask her.“Come in, lets talk.” She says and I follow her inside.There was no sight of Serah nor Gael. I just wonder where they are right now. I hope Serah hasn't moved on from me. I will just die for sure.“Mia, where is Serah and Gael. I don't see them
