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 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 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
Serah's POVThe weather is too cold for me to handle. I walk along the streets while shivering so hard. The cold weather made my stomach to ache. I felt so bad, and I just hoped I would reach home soon.The streets were empty. No one was walking around except for me. It was so late and everyone must be sleeping peacefully in their homes right now. The cold weather made everyone get home on time so they could cover themselves up in their warm beds. It was unbearable, especially nighttime. The temperatures were too low outside. No one could bear walking around in the cold, that was the main reason the streets were empty.My phone which I had kept in my handbag vibrates and I take it out to check who was texting me. I just hoped it was Brian. The man whom I loved most in this world. He was my whole life. I loved him so much and my eyes tear up when I recall what he had told me earlier.“Serah, where are you? Its getting so late, and I am beginning to be worried about you. Text me back p
When I open up my eyes, I find myself in the hospital. My head was aching so much and when I try to touch it, I find it wrapped round with a bandage. Clearly, I got a head injury when I had hit my head on the ground.“Ouch," I say while placing my hand down. It was so painful on the head. And I know I will need a long time for it to completely heal.“Serah, I am so glad you are awake now.” Mia says while running towards me. I could see tears in her eyes while she was talking to me. I was so hurt to see those tears. The last thing I wanted was making her worried for me. I just wanted her to be happy all the time, but I just ended up doing the opposite. “Thanks, sister, for always being here for me.” I say to her, tears coming out of my eyes.She was my only family member. Our parents were already dead. They were involved in a bad car accident and none of them came out alive. Back then, my sister and I were so little and our relatives decided to send us to children's home. After we wer
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
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

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
