Mia's POV.I place my phone down as I am done talking to Serah. I had missed her so much. Both her and Gael and I just wanted to get home, so I could kiss them and hug them tightly. “Is she alright, love.” Brandon asks me.“Yes my love. She is doing fine.” I say, and he continues driving the car. I must admit that this is the best week of my life. Brandon has made me the happiest woman on earth. I was so happy. I just love him so much.* * * * * * * * * * * *“Get up baby. We are here already.” Brandon wakes me up. I realize I had dozed up in the car. “Baby, did I just fall asleep? Why didn't you wake me? I am such a bad wife. I left my husband to drive all alone.” I say with regrets in my voice.“Darling, don't worry. I am fine. You were tired, so I just let you sleep. And I was not bored, I kept seeing your pretty face throughout the journey, my love." Brandon says.“Darling. You are saying that so that I won't feel bad.” I say.“I am serious baby girl. So let's go inside now. S
After five years.Brian's POV.“What is all this goodness. What did I get myself into. I don't know how I ended up here. My life is such a mess and I don't know how I will continue living like this. I just hate my life. I just wish I had made the right choices earlier on.” I lament alone in my bedroom. Marrying Rebecca was the worst decision of my life and I regretted it every single day.Marrying Rebecca was like bringing a curse in my life. Because my life changed for the worse after I got married to her. I no longer loved her, and I just wanted to end this marriage for good.I slowly walk out of the room since it was time for me to head for work. I take my bag and I place it on my back as I close the door behind me.I notice Rebecca on the table having her breakfast. It has been like a week now since I last spoke to her. Her whole presence just irritated me, and I hope that soon I will be able to get rid of her completely.“Won't you stop to have breakfast.” She rushes towards me
Rebecca's POV.I just sit down on the dining table as I wait for my husband Brian to come back home. I can't stop the hot tears that were coming out of my eyes. I just wanted to cry to cool my heart down because it was burning with pain.It was already dark, and he was still not in the house. I just can't help but be worried about him. With all the disrespect he had shown me, I was still so much in love with him and I still wanted him back. I know he is just bitter, and he will forgive me when his bitterness cools down a bit. My problems with Brian started when we went to the hospital for a fertility check. It was four years of trying, and I was still not getting pregnant. The doctors confirmed that I was barren and that I could never get pregnant. Since that day, Brian started keeping his distance from me. He started being rude towards me and that is when his hatred for me started growing.I take my phone so that I could call him to know his where about. But instead of answering the
Rebecca's POV.I walk along the streets like a mad woman. I had so much on my mind. I don't know what Brian will do when he finds out about the abortion I did several years ago. I know he will never forgive me. He will hate me for the rest of his life, and he will regret ever marrying me. I promise myself to die with this secret. I will never inform him of the abortion. And I will go to the hospital to get thoroughly checked by the doctors. Maybe all is not lost. I just hope I will get positive answers after the checkup.I slowly walk to my home. The home I had built for five years now was falling apart. It was so sad and hurting.I slowly open the main door and I walk inside. Feeling devastated, I go into my room and I throw myself on the bed and I cry so bitterly. My life was in ruins and I just hope that a miracle happens to me.* * * * * * * * * * * The following day I wake up so early in the morning. I just needed to get to the hospital, so I could get a check-up for the second
Brian's POV.I get up from my slumber. It was already Monday morning. Time for work. I really hated Mondays, but there is nothing I can do since I have to go to work. I needed the money and somehow my work gave me a peace of mind. Somehow, I got to forget my horrible life with Rebecca. At least there is still something I loved to do.I slowly get out of my comfortable bed and I go to the shower. Ever since I learned that Rebecca was infertile, I distanced myself from her. I now slept in a separate bedroom which was so peaceful. At least I stopped seeing her face at night.After I am done preparing myself, I come out of my room and I notice Rebecca siting in the dining having her breakfast. I decide to walk away and not to disturb her. I just did not want to start arguing with her. I think she felt the same way because she said nothing to me either.I walk out of the house and I bang the door behind me. I take my car and I start driving my car towards my workplace.My phone beeps and I
Rebecca's POV.I am woken up by noises in Brian's bedroom. I woke up, get out of my room and I decide to check what is going on.I try to push the door, and it was unlocked. It's like he left it open for a purpose. I guess he wanted me to see what was going on inside.I am shocked with what I see. A lady was on top of my husband. Its hurts me so much to see them this way. I wonder how Brian could do this to me, it's like I did not exist at all. In his world I am nothing to him. I really hate this, I hate my life and this marriage. Maybe I should not fight at all. It's not worth it anymore. I slowly return to my room. Take my cellphone and I decide to call Rachael to tell her what is going on. I mean he is the only close friend I have right now. Rachael — Rebecca, why are you calling me this late. Why aren't you sleeping?She says immediately she answers her phone. It sounded like I was disturbing her.Me — I apologize for calling you so late at night, my friend, I just could not he
Agatha's POV.Ever since my last encounter with Brian, I haven't been able to erase him from my mind. I agree that I am a s×x worker, and it's my job to have random men. But ever since I met him, all the other men did not make sense to me anymore. I just wanted him and only him. I promise myself to fight for him until I am finally with him.I am glad to know that he and his wife are having marital problems. I guess this is the perfect opportunity to win him over. So I decide to call him so that we can be together at night, and I am glad when he accepts my invite. I am also glad when he invites me over to his house and I just could not refuse him. I also wanted to see his wife. I wanted to see what type of lady she is. * * * * * * * * * * * “Are you hurt, Agatha.” Brian asks me when we were in the car. He had knocked out his wife, and I am sure she must be unconscious now. I am glad she had witnessed what was going on between me and her husband. I am sure after they divorce, I wil
Mia's POV. “Baby girl, hurry. You will be late for school. Time is not on our side anymore " I shout at Lucy. She was in her room preparing herself for school. “Ok, mummy. I am about to finish.” She shouts back. “Darling. Can you sit down and eat? The breakfast is getting cold.” I say to Brandon. “Ok darling. Sit as well and let's have it together.” He says to me. It has been five years now since we got married, and I can say it is the best decision I have ever done in my life. I was so happy with my new family. Brandon made me the happiest woman on this planet. I still love him so much, and I will love him forever. “What is taking Lucy so long?” Brandon asks me. “I don't know my love. She is a teenager now, and must make herself pretty first.” I say to him. “Time flies really fast. I can't believe my daughter is all grown. Soon she will be a full-grown woman.” Brandon says. “Yes baby. She is a big girl now. And she is also so pretty. I am blessed having her as my d
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
