Raphael's POV.I reach my office and I sit down. I had tones of work to do, and the meeting was driving me crazy. I wonder why it was called so suddenly. I did not even have the opportunity to prepare myself.Since I was the only male child of my parents, I was now the head of the office after my father retired. I was now the chairman, and I was the one making all the decisions concerning the business.I wonder what kind of meeting we will be having today because there was no agenda. I wonder what was going to be discussed. I just decide to relax to see what will happen because I was not the one who called for the meeting.I relax, and I start to think about my life with Serah and Gael. Everything was going just fine. Now I have a family of my own and I love them so much. I decide that soon I am going to ask Serah to be my wife. Anyway we live in the same house, and we are practically a family, I now have to make it official so we can stay together forever.The only problem I have is
Serah's POV.After Raphael and Gael leave the house, I am left all alone. It was like this everyday, so quiet and lonely. I enter the kitchen and I start washing my dishes, I was like a housewife and I just loved it. But I will love it more if I find myself a job. That way, I will help Raphael with house expenses. I mean he is the one who does everything including paying my son's school fees. I just want to be the one who pays for his education because he is my son. I don't want to burden Raphael so much. * * * * * *Time moves so fast and with no time, it was already evening. Time to prepare supper.Gael was in the living room doing his homework. He was such a bright child, and he hated me helping him except when he found it difficult. So I decide to leave him to do his work while I head in the kitchen.I check my cellphone and there was no call from Raphael. Normally, he would call me to tell me what he wanted for dinner. But today he did not call. I just cannot help but be worrie
Rebecca's POV.My doorbell rings and I slowly walk to open it. Rachael was standing there with her baby on her hands. I force a smile as I welcome her in. My cheeks were still in pain from the beating I got from Brian.“Let me take the baby, Rachael. Welcome in.” I say as I stretch my arm to take the baby. She gladly gives her to me.“Thank you. How have you been? I am sorry I came late.” Rachael says.“No, please don't apologize, I am not angry.” I say to her.“Welcome, this is my home. I know you have never been here.” I say.“Yes, you have never invited me to your house. But it is so pretty.” She says.“ Are you for real?" I ask her.“Yes, I am serious.” She says.“Thank you, my friend. I am pleased to hear that. Let me place the baby here since she is asleep. So, what do you want to have?” I ask.“Just mango juice will do.” She says and I rush to the kitchen.I check into the fridge, but there was no mango juice. I guess I forgot to buy the mangoes to make the juice. I hope she
Rachael's POV.I can't believe that Rebecca chased me out of her house. She has always been selfish, and I wonder why I came to see her. I regret that decision so much.I carry my baby and I head outside of Rebecca's house. I feel like crying right now. I remember what happened in the past between me and Rebecca.Flashback* * *Back then I had a boyfriend, Jacob. And it was Rebecca who ended up stealing him away from me. I found out they were sleeping together behind my back. That is when I decided to leave Jacob and I started hating men. I also decided to never get married or have children. Thank heavens I met someone who made me change my mind, and now I have a beautiful daughter and a beautiful marriage.I later found out that Rebecca is pregnant, and she ended up aborting the baby since Jacob refused the pregnancy. That is where Rebecca ended up ruining her life, and now she can never be a mom again because the abortion damaged her womb beyond repair.I felt somehow sorry for he
Brian's POV.I am left stunned by Rachael's words.“The cause of Rebecca's barrenness is because of the abortion she did several years ago. The abortion went terribly wrong, and it ended up damaging her womb. As a result, she will never get pregnant again.”Her words keep ringing in my mind and I can't help, but hot tears come out of my eyes. I felt so bitter, I can't believe Rebecca played me for a fool. Here I was thinking a miracle will happen, and she will get pregnant, but it seems I wasted my years with her.But not anymore. I must divorce her immediately. I must make her leave my house as well. She can no longer keep staying in my house. With all the lies she had fed me, I will show her no mercy. I will treat her the way she treated me.I keep regretting one thing. And that is my break-up with Serah. The woman who sacrificed everything for my happiness. I remember back then when she disclosed the news of her pregnancy to me. I pushed her away because back then I was madly in l
Rebecca's POV.“But don't want to end this, Brian. I love you.” I say to Brian in a helpless voice.“Yes, this is the end of our marriage, Rebecca. The next time you see me, we will end it officially. I will leave now.” He says, and I feel my legs lose strength. I fall down, and I cry so bitterly. His words just hurt me all over again. I don't understand why I love him so much. It is just killing me. I don't know how I will live without him. I now see that it will be useless to beg him. He is never going to take me back after finding out my bitter truth. It hurts, but it's better if I agree to sign the divorce papers.My hands shake just by the thought of signing the divorce papers and parting ways with Brian forever. “I can't live without him, I can't live without my Brian. I love my husband so much. He is my life.” I cry bitterly saying these words.I don't know who disclosed my secret to Brian. Because I never told anyone except for one person, and that is Rebecca. But she is my
Rachael's POV.“I deeply regret this. Now my marriage is over and there is no hope anymore. Brian is divorcing me and there is nothing I can do to stop him.” Were Rebecca's words.I smile as I recall her words. At long last, she was so miserable. I love seeing her that way. It just makes me so happy. At long last she paid for what she did to me years ago. And she is also paying for chasing me out of her house earlier this morning. It was all over. Now, I don't have to see her again. She is already in my past. “Darling, has your friend left already.” My husband comes out of the kitchen while carrying our baby in his strong arms.“Yes honey. She left already.” I say.“What was the commotion all about? I heard you two exchanging words to each other.” He asks.“Darling. She is just accusing me of destroying her marriage. I don't know what I did for her to accuse me. But I understand. She is just going through a lot right now.” I say.“And what is this, darling.” She asks while looking a
Raphael's POV. I wake up feeling so dull. My head was spinning so much. I know it is from the drinks I had yesterday. It has been a long time since I last drank alcohol, that is why it was affecting me so much.“Baby, aren't you going to work today. You woke up a long time ago, and you are just laying there. What is going on in that head of yours, baby. Just tell me, my love.” Serah asks me.I was just laying on the bed with my eyes wide open. I was thinking about what my dad told me yesterday. I was finding it really difficult to let go of Serah and the company at the same time. I was such in a tough dilemma. “I am not feeling too well my love. So I will not go to work today. I will spend the whole day here with you.” I say.“Should I take you to the hospital?” She asks.“There is no need for that, darling. I will be ok. I guess it is from the drinking I did yesterday.” I say.“Then why did you drink, babe? Is there something I don't know? I know something is wrong, that is why you
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
