Serah's POV.We talk for long hours and it was all beautiful. I ate to my fill until I was satisfied. Anything I wanted, Raphael made sure I had it. He was a caring man, and I was glad he was my friend. To be honest, I want us to be more than friends, but I am not sure if Raphael will accept me. I know he sees me just as a friend and nothing more.“Are you happy, Serah," Raphael asks.“More than happy Rapha. Thank you for the surprise. I am glad you did all this for me. It means a lot to me.” I say as I stretch my hands to hold his. “I am happy you have enjoyed.” He says as he holds my hands back. His warm touch just made me have butterflies in my stomach. I just could not understand what I was feeling right now. “Can we go now? It's getting late, and I don't want to keep the baby outside the house for too long. He may catch something unwanted. He is still young.” I find an excuse to free his hands from mine.“Are you tired of me already?” Raphael asks with a smile on his face.“No,
Raphael's POV.I am glad I had followed my friend's advice. Samuel, has been like a brother to me, and he is the one who advised me to confess my feelings to Serah. At first, I really thought it was bad advice, since I knew Serah would reject me. But now I am happy I had allowed him to advise me.Right now, I was holding Serah in my arms. It just felt like I was in a beautiful dream. I just did not want to wake up. “Serah. I promise to take care of you always.” I say to her as I release her from my chest. “Rapha, let us not promise each other anything now. Let us just love each other unconditionally. That is what I want. No promises please.” Serah says.“Ok Serah. I think that will be fine by me. So what now. Can we go, ?" I ask her.“Yes. Time is really moving. Mia will be home anytime from now. So we better start going.” She says while taking the baby. He was awake now and was just making some giggles. I help Serah with her baby's bag, and we start heading home. I am glad that e
Mia's POV.I get home feeling so tired. We had a lot of work at the hotel today, and I am glad I have reached home. I open the door, and I am shocked to what I was seeing in front of me.Serah and Raphael were on the sofa kissing each other so passionately. They did not even hear me coming inside the house. I was so surprised, I just stand there looking at them. I never expected this. Because I thought Serah did not have feelings for Raphael. But I guess I was wrong. Anyway, I am happy that they are together now. That is what I wanted, for my sister to be happy with Raphael.“Sarah,” I decide to say something so they can know I am home. They leave each other immediately and both of them stare at me with their eyes wide open.“What are you looking at? Am I a ghost ?” I ask them.“I am sorry, Mia. I don't know what to say to you. I will be leaving now.” Raphael says immediately while running to reach the door. “Raphael, stop, please. I am not angry at you. In fact, I am so happy.” I
Mia's POV.“Serah, arent you ready yet? We are going to be late. I don't want to keep the person waiting.” I say while finishing up with my makeup. I just wanted to reach to the hotel and finally know what is going on. I hated surprises, and I just wanted this nightmare to end.“Almost ready sister. Can you call a cab." Serah says.“Ok, let me call for one.” I say as I take my phone to make the call. * * * * * * * * * * *All I can say is, my relationship with Brandon was on a brick of ending. But I still loved him so much, and I just wanted him to be mine forever. But that was just a dream now, and I know it will never happen. I know Brandon will always choose his daughter. I will always be the last option for him. It hurts, but that is the reality I have to face. I get out of my room and I take my purse. The cab was already here, and we were about to leave. I help Serah with the baby, and she closes the door behind us.The time to the hotel was exactly twenty minutes. I pay the c
Mia's POV.“This gown has fitted you just like we expected.” Catherine says immediately we walk out of the changing room.“What do you mean, as you expected.” I can't help but ask. Surely, there was something going on. Is it true I am married to Brandon? Because he is the one who asked me to come me here. Maybe he wanted to surprise me. I hope Serah is right because I am dying to be Brandon's wife.“Mia, stop asking so many questions. Sit here and Serah sit there so we can apply makeup on you. We don't have much time. Someone special will be the one to tell you what is going on” Catherine says, and we decide to obey her.Within ten minutes, the makeup was done. When I look myself in the mirror, I look like an entirely different person. I looked so beautiful. I just loved this. I now looked like I was going to get married today. I felt so happy and worried at the same time. I just hoped hat its true that I was going to marry Brandon. The man whom I love most in this world.“So, we are
Brandon's POVHere she is, standing right before me. I just could not believe it. At last, I was going to make her mine forever. I just love her with all of my heart. That is why I decided to do all this. All I can say is, my relationship with Mia has gone through a lot, and I am glad that she never gave up on me. In the last few days, I really thought that she was giving up in the relationship, but I guess I was wrong. I remember that day I had planned for Mia to meet Lucy my daughter, she was really heartbroken after Lucy said horrible things to her. Actually, I was so mad at Lucy that I was about to hit her, but I remembered that she was still a kid, and she was grieving the loss of her mother.I decide to give her all the love a father can give. And within time, she started to be the same Lucy I once knew. Since she was still a little girl, it was easy for her to forget what happened to her mother. Now that I am getting married to Mia, I know that she will accept her. I know Mia
Mia's POV.“You can go Mia, don't worry about me. I will be fine. Raphael is also here to take care of me. Just enjoy your honeymoon. I wish you all the happiness this world can offer, my wonderful sister.” Serah says when I inform her about my honeymoon plans with Brandon.“Are you sure, Serah," I ask her.I was not used to stay away from her and I know she will have a hard time being alone. I was worried about her all the time. I treated her like a baby. After all, she was my baby sister and i t was my responsibility to take care of her all the time."Mia, it's time you start thinking about yourself. I am already grown up. I can take good care of myself. Please just go for the honeymoon, and another thing, don't forget to take lots and lots of pictures so you can show me when you get back.” Serah says.“Ok Serah. Let me go. I will miss the both of you so much. I love you.” I say.“I love you more. So when are you planning to go?” Serah asks.“Tonight. I have to pack first. You know
Serah's POV. I watch the car driving away from the compound. I felt like crying, but I choose to be strong for my sister. She deserved all the happiness this world can offer. I know Brandon will make her happy, and that is why I am happy that they are married already. I go back to the house to check up on my baby. I had left him on the chair. I pick him up and take him to the bed since he was already asleep. The house felt so awkward without Mia here. I felt so alone and bored. But I know I will manage. I just hope that Mia and her husband arrive safely to their honeymoon hotel. I take my phone and I switch it on. I remember it was out of battery, and I was charging it. I don't want Mia to start calling and find me not reachable. She will start worrying about nothing. I want her to enjoy her honeymoon. I find so many missed calls from Raphael. He had tried to contact me, and he found me not reachable. I feel so bad about it. And I decide to call him back. He picks up immedi
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
