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
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
