The news was still fresh on my mind. Me pregnant? It was just unbelievable. The father of my unborn baby was Brian and no one else. I just don't know how he will take the news if I disclose them to him.
“Serah, don't think about this too much, ok? I am here, and I am going to take really good care of you.” Mia says. She was such a nice person and I know she loved me so much. She supported me in everything, and now she is also supporting me. I don't know what I will do without her by my side.“Mia, I don't think I will keep the baby.” I open my mouth to say that. Keeping this baby will remind me of all that Brian has done to me. All his disrespect and arrogance towards me makes it impossible to keep his baby.“What are you saying Serah. You will not abort this baby, and that is final.” Mia says in anger.“But Mia,”“No buts, Serah. This baby is innocent. So you will not punish it because of Brian. I refuse that.” She says.“Mia, I cannot bring this child into this world as a single mother. If I keep this baby, I will have to inform Brian that I am expecting his baby.” I say to Mia.“Will he accept his baby and take responsibility for it?” Mia asks.“I don't know Mia. But I have to inform him. I will not keep this away from him. I just hope he will accept the baby.” I say to her.“I hope so too, Serah. Now it's time for you to rest. When you wake up, you will feel better. I will be here waiting for you to wake up.” Mia says.The truth is that, resting was the last thing on my mind right now. All I wanted was to know whether Brian will accept this baby or not. Deep down I wanted him to be happy about the news. I wanted him to accept me again so that we can start to build our little family. I wanted him to support me all through this. I know it will be a tough journey, but it will be easier with him by my side.* * * * * * * *When I open my eyes again, I see Mia sleeping on the couch that was beside my bed. She was so stressed earlier, but now she was sleeping so peacefully. I decide to let her sleep. There was no point of waking her up.“My phone.” I say. I have not used it for hours now, and I feel like I have missed it so much. I look around, and I see my handbag hanged in a corner. It was a bit far, so I decide to come out of the bed.My head was still in pain. I struggle to get my legs off the bed. I stretch my arm and I reach my bag. I check inside and I see my phone. I pick it up, and I go back to the bed.I open my chats with Brian, and I start reading them all over again. We were so happy and in love back then. I don't know what happened that made him change so much.My eyes tear up, and I start to cry all over again. My heart was hurting so much, and I don't think if I will be able to bear it. My sobs wake Mia up, and she comes running towards me.“What happened Serah?." She asks me.“Nothing Mia. I was just checking my phone.” I say.“Who gave it to you in the first place. I remember placing it over there.” She says as she shows me where she had hanged the handbag.“I took it, Mia. I am sorry. You were asleep, and I did not want to disturb you." I say.“Give it to me. You have a head injury, and now you are stressing yourself. You might get a serious headache. Just rest, please Serah. I want you to get better. That is what is important for now.” Mia says, and I hand her the phone I was holding. She was right. I needed to get better first.In the morning, the doctor comes in and gives us the discharge form. “Serah, you are absolutely fine. I will just write you some medicine which you will use so that the head injury can fully heal. Take care of yourself from now onwards for the sake of your baby.” The doctor says and leaves the room.“Serah, let me go and clear the bill. Just change into your clothes. When I come, we will start heading home." Mia says and she leaves the room.I struggle to get off the bed and I take my clothes and I head into the washroom to change. I look at myself in the mirror and I see that my face and eyes were swollen from the crying and the head injury. “Serah, are you done?” Mia asks me. I was just glued to the mirror, just staring at myself. I just could not believe that my beautiful face was now all swollen and ugly looking.“Yes, I am almost done” I say as I put on my dress. I head out after I am done.“You look beautiful, sister.” Mia says.“Are you saying that to cheer me up, sister?, I
“Serah, can you wake up, please. I am home already.” I hear Mia's voice. It's obvious I had fallen asleep while I was crying. “Sister, is it evening already?” I ask her with a lazy voice.“Yes, have you taken your lunch? You look weak and tired. And your eyes are red, were you crying?” She asks. She knew me so well, and I just could not hide anything from her.“No, I am not hungry sister. I just ate the breakfast you had left me. There is no need for you to worry about me so much. I am a big girl.” I say.“Ok. But tell me, why were you crying.” She asks.“I saw Brian earlier with his new girl.” I say.“Where did you see him?” She asks.“I was tired of staying in the house alone. So I decided to go out for a while. But when I got to the park, the first person to see was him. I just don't know why all this is happening to me.” I say with tears in my eyes. The pain was too much, and I just could not bear it anymore.“Please, sister, don't cry. I hate seeing you this way. Please try not
Blue light hotel was one of the most famous hotels in our area. Famous people liked to come here so much. It was so fancy and the food was so delicious. Everything was just perfect in this place. Mia and I stand at the door, ready to walk into the hotel. “Shall we, sister?” Mia asks me and I nod my head. I was so excited and for a minute, I forgot about Brian.We slowly walk into the hotel. It was all beautiful. We find a table, and we sit down, ready to wait for the waiter.* * * * * * * * * * * *“Samantha, will you marry me?” I suddenly hear that from behind me. Mia and I were already eating the meal we had ordered.“Of course I will marry you, Brian Williams. I love you so much.” I hear a lady's voice say.“Brian Williams?” I say as I turn my head to check if it was my Brian because they shared the same name. I almost go into shock when I see Brian kissing a lady. I was right. It was my Brian, and he had proposed to that lady already. I don't understand why I keep meeting with h
Brian's POV.“Who was that girl Brian. I just did not want to embarrass you earlier. That is why I kept quiet. But now I will not be quiet anymore. So tell me who was she?” Rebecca asks me after we had reached home. “She is no one baby. Just believe me. I have never met her before. You know you are the only one I love, right? Do you trust me?” I ask her.“I do trust you, but that girl was serious with what she was saying. It's like she knew you so much.” She says.“But I don't know her. Baby, today is our special day. So please, let's forget about all the negative things. Let's focus on our future together. I love you, darling, and I want to spend the rest of my days with you.” I say as I kiss her lips passionately.“It's ok darling. I believe you. So let us just forget about the incident. Let us just celebrate our engagement. I am so happy, and I can't wait for the day we will be finally married.” Rebecca says as she returns the kiss.I was so done with Serah. She is not relevant to
Serah's POV.“Serah I am so angry with you. How dare you do that. When you know how much I love you. You are my sister. Do you want to leave me all alone in this world?, answer me? Answer me Serah. I am waiting for your honest answer because I am just tired. I am tired of pretending to be the strongest one while I am just dying inside. Today's incident has just made me crush. I don't know what to do with you anymore Serah." Mia says while breaking up in tears. She looks so vulnerable in front of me and I feel so sorry for her. I realize I have been so selfish. I was only concerned about my sorrows, and I forgot that she has her sorrows too. She was also hurting, but I could never see the pain in her eyes. Instead, I just ignored her. She cared so much for me and also loved me so much. She sacrificed everything for me and in return, I ended up hurting her feelings.“I am so sorry, sister. I did not realize I was hurting your feelings this way. Please forgive me. I promise you never to
Mia's POV.I must admit that I felt so bad when serah tried to kill herself. But I decided to forgive her after she regretted her bad decisions. Being her elder sister, it has always been difficult to take care of her. Most of the occasions I had to pretend to be tough, but the truth is that I was so weak. I felt weaker when she became sick and heartbroken, but I chose to remain strong for her. She was my only family and I just could not lose her.After our heated argument and crying in each other arms, we finally let go of one another, and I stand up from where I was sitting.“I am going to my room now, Serah. It was really a long night, and I just need to lie down and forget everything that happened today.” I say to her as I kiss her good night.“Thanks, sister, for forgiving me.” She says while looking at me with tears in her eyes.“It's ok Serah. I hope you will not do it again. I want both you and your baby to be safe. I still need you very much." I say trying to hold back the t
Mia's POV.My alarm rings, “Oh my gosh. It's morning already.” I say, I hated getting up early in the morning. But I had to because of my work. The boss was too harsh. He hated nonsense, and he scolded anyone who came to work late. I slowly get up, and I go to the washroom. I shower, dress up and head to the living room. I prepare breakfast as usual. I eat, and I head to Serah's room to check up on her. She was still in a deep sleep. She looked so peaceful. It has been long since I saw her sleeping this way. “Serah,” I tap her beautiful face to wake her up. She slowly opens her eyes to look at me.“Sister, you are already leaving?” She asks in a sleepy voice.“Yes, the breakfast is ready. As usual.” I say with a smile on my face.“Thanks sister. I will eat later. I still feel sleepy.” Serah says.“It's ok. Let me go now. And another thing, I might be late in the evening today.” I say to her.“Where will you go?” Serah asks.“I will tell you when I come back.” I say to her.“Ok sis
Serah's POV.I spend my day just watching the television. I needed to distract myself somehow. I admit that it is really hard, but I have no other choice but to continue with my life. I delete all the pictures of Brian I had in my phone. All the messages and phone calls. I just needed to forget about him for good. He had no place in my life and heart anymore. It was time to let him go for good. Time travels, and in no time it was evening already. I remember Mia informing me that she might come late today. I wonder where she was going, but I am going to pressure her until she tells me the truth when she comes back. I decide to cook while waiting for her to come back home. I admit, it has been weeks now since I last cooked. Every single day, it was Mia who made food for the two of us. But today, she will rest, as she will find food ready. My sister has supported me so much, so It's time I start supporting her too.“I will cook Mia's favorite.” I say to myself as I light up the gas. M
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
