Brian's POV.At last, the boss allows me permission to go on my leave. I was planning to use this leisure time to search for Serah. I just hope that I will find her.Just like a normal day, I get up and I prepare myself. I take my bag, to pack a few clothes, and I leave the house. I decide that I will spy on Serah from her old house. I hope that she still lives there. It has been five long years, and I know anything could change in that time. I hope that I will find her there. I take a cab and within a few hours, I arrive at Serah's house. I hide myself somewhere where no one will be able to see me. Hours passes and no one was coming out of the house. I start giving up when I see a man and a girl walking to the house. “Who is that?” I ask myself. The girl was a teenager so she can't be my child. If Serah had my child, then it means my baby is about six years now. “What if they no longer live here? Then it means I will have a really hard time finding my Serah.” I say.This can't
Serah's POV.I can't believe I just saw Brian, and he is asking about our baby? What baby? The one he refused five years ago? Or what baby? I just can't understand what he wants back in my life right now. I mean, he came back after five years. I just can't forgive him like that. And he will never know about Gael. He is not his child and that is final. Gael knows that his father is Raphael and that will never change.I immediately take a cab to my home. I was now living in my house. I had already moved out of my sister's house earlier today. I went to the supermarket to get things for the house and that is when I bumped into Brian. I just hope he wasn't looking for me and that is just a coincidence meeting today.Gael was in the room sleeping. I go to check up on him and I find that he was still sleeping. I decide to let him be. My heart could not stop racing. After five years, I saw Brian again. All the pain comes back as if it were yesterday. I remember how he rejected me for anot
Brian's POV.I get back to my house feeling so devastated. There was no point of me living anymore. The last hope of me living was just taken away after Serah confessed to me that she got rid of the baby. My baby. I just can't believe it.I can't stop hot tears that come out of my eyes. I remember how I rejected Serah five years ago. I was so full of myself back then, and I was so sure that I never wanted the baby. The baby that I crave so much right now. I just wish that I had accepted the pregnancy. My baby will be all grown up right now. I go to my bed and I just lay there looking at the ceiling. I felt so weak and useless inside. I just ruined my life with my hands. I hope I will never make the same mistake again.Since I could not sleep, I decide to go out and have some drinks. I know I will get peace of mind from the drinks I will have. I take my car and I start driving towards the hotel. When I reach, I park it, take my car keys and then head inside.My head was so fed up wit
Elena's POV.“My dear. The day is finally here. Your wedding day, my princess. It's what you have always wanted and finally with great difficulty, you won Raphael's heart.” My mom says to me as she kisses my cheek.“Yes mother. I can't believe that today is my wedding day. I am finally going to marry him.” I say smiling broadly.My parents were here to witness my big day. It has not been easy for me to win Raphael's heart. I hope he keeps his promise and marries me. I know I will be happy when I am on his side. I want him to be mine forever.“Lets help you get ready now. You must look so pretty today. I want Raphael to get lost in your beauty my dear.” My mother says as she helps me sit on the chair. The beauty artist were here to apply makeup on me. In about thirty minutes, they were done. When I look at myself in the mirror, I hardly can recognize myself. I looked absolutely gorgeous. I know Raphael will not be able to resist me. At long last, he was going to be mine forever. Sera
Raphael's POV.“Raphael, will you take Elena as your wife until death do you part?” The priest asks me this question for the second time now.I look at my father who signals me to say yes. My mouth wanted to say yes so that I could continue protecting Serah and Gael from my father, but my heart wanted to say no because I simply did not want to get married to Elena. My heart craved Serah and I will not betray her by marrying another woman.I decide to go with what my heart was saying. “Can I speak something before saying my vows?” I ask the priest, who then allows me, and he hands over the microphone to me. “Let me start by thanking you all here for coming. You have come to celebrate with us and I appreciate that so much. Thank you.Wedding is supposed to be a happy occasion both for the bride and the groom. But that is not the case for me. I am not happy about the wedding, and I just don't want to get married.I am sorry, Elena. But you are not the woman of my dreams, and you know
Elena's POV.I can't believe this is happening to me. Raphael refused to marry me In front of the congregation. It was so embarrassing. This is the second time Raphael has disgraced me. I don't understand why he hates me so much. “Let's go now my dear. I am sorry this has happened to you my love.” I hear my mom says to me.“No mother. Raphael might come back for me. Please let's not leave yet." I say with tears in my eyes. My happy day was totally ruined. I just hoped that I was dreaming and that none of this is true. The congregation starts leaving. I was really annoyed at them. How could they leave so soon? It was too early for them to leave the wedding. Raphael was going to come back. I know he will not risk Serah's and Gael lives. He must protect them at all costs and one way of protecting them is by getting married to me. So I am sure he will come back to his senses and he will come running back to me.“Raphael is not going to come back my dear. It's just over.” My mother sa
Raphael's dad POV.With a lot of shame, I leave the wedding area with my wife. I just could not face Elena. So I decide to leave without saying a word to her. I know she must be terribly hurt right now. So it's better if her parents attend to her. I mean they know her better than I do so they will take good care of her.“Calm down please.” My wife says to me immediately we got home. “I am trying my best to be calm. But your son has disgraced me so much today. No one has ever done that to me. It's just so much, and I am thinking of disowning him.” I say.“But, he is our only son. If you disown him, then who will take over the company?” My wife asks me.“I just don't know. But I know my son can never do that to me. It's just too much.” I say to her.I was burning up with anger right now, and I needed to cool down so I could think because I was not thinking straight.“I told you it was a bad idea to force a woman on him, but you would never listen to me. How can you force a man to marr
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
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
