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
After a week.Brian's POV.I am glad I am done with the processing of the divorce papers. I sign them with a bright smile on my face. At long last, this marriage was ending for good.I take my car and I start driving towards my house. It was also time for Rebecca to sign the papers. I just wanted her to sign, so I could be done with her. These five years have been the worst, and I am happy I'm ending them today.I park the car in the compound, take the papers and I start going towards my house.I knock and Rebecca opens the house and I go inside. Her face looked swollen still. I guess she was still crying. “I guess it's the divorce?” She asks.“Yes Rebecca. I have already signed them. It's your turn now to sign them.” I say as I give her the papers.She takes them, and looks at them. I could see tears in her eyes. It means it was so hard for her to do this, but she had no choice. There was no hope for us anymore. So it was the best decision that we bring this to an end.She takes a p
Rebecca's POV.My doorbell rings and I rush to open the door. Since it was a weekday, Raphael and Gael were already out of the house. I was all alone and I wonder who was ringing my door. I never got any visitors. So today I wonder who was at my door.I open the door and I see this old man I have never seen before. I am surprised to see him and for a moment, I don't know what to say.“How may I help you, sir?” I say. He was an old man, but he looked so filthy rich. So there is no doubt that he comes from a rich family.“I am Raphael's dad. And I am here to talk to you.” He says in a cold voice. It was evident that he did not like me at all. I wonder what he came here for. I have never met her before and I don't know what he has to say to me. It just sounded so serious.“Ooh I am sorry. Come in.” I say in a shaky voice.He slowly walks into the house and I show him where to sit. “What may I offer you sir.” I ask him.“Nothing. I want nothing from you.” He says in a harsh voice. “Ok.
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
