Author's point of view Rita was so surprised when she finally remembered that Raphael's face looked familiar because she once saw him the day she visited Isabelle at her house. “How come I never knew, so Mr Dominic and Isabelle's husband are both cousins? Wow!” She was so shocked.“Yes they are, I was as surprised as you when I found out, I thought you knew about it as well.” The doctor said,“I'm just finding out now, doctor Williams, I never knew,” Rita answered. “Well, speaking of the company, how are things over there? It must be quite hard since Mr Dominic's absence.” The doctor said and Rita's eyes widened. “Quite hard, is an understatement, doctor Williams, it has been hell since Mr Dominic's absence,” Rita complained. “I know it would be, I just hope that company doesn't fold because it is in the wrong hands.” The doctor added and Rita agreed with him. “It's indeed in the wrong hands, Mr. Raphael doesn't care if the company runs dry or not as long as it fetches him the m
Author's point of view Vivian was so shocked although she knew right from the beginning that Raphael wasn't the father of her kids but she never knew he was in fact really impotent. “And you never told me about it, what kind of a man are you?” Vivian was upset and she walked away. Raphael left his body on the couch and let out a sigh. He really wanted Isabelle's child to be his. He never wanted to believe the fact that he was really impotent. That was the reason why he was so happy after the results were out, it felt like what he dreamt of was really coming into existence. Then after finding out it was the lawyer who skimmed and plotted everything out, he got so infuriated and so angry. ~~~~~~Isabelle lay on the bed in the middle of the night still wide awake while Dominic was far gone asleep. She could not sleep, she was so lost in thought that she couldn't even think straight. The thought of aborting the baby crossed her mind but she snapped such thoughts away. How would
Author's point of view Raphael got prepared and ready to go to court. He had so many smiles on his face.“Do you really want to go?” The lawyer asked him because he knows how humiliated Raphael will be and knows Raphael doesn't like getting humiliated. “Why won't I be there? You worry about being humiliated, there is nothing that bothers me, so let's go.” Raphael said and smirked as they drove out of his house. Meanwhile, Isabelle and Dominic were preparing to leave for the court as wellIsabelle wasn't feeling too well and she was acting too slow, Dominic noticed. “Are you okay? You look like you don't want to go to court.” Dominic asked her, he knew she had waited for this day to come after finding out about the second result. “I really don't feel okay, I had a dream last night and it troubles me a lot, Dominic I think you should stay back home, I will go myself,” Isabelle said to him and he quickly shook his head. “I won't leave you to go alone, and besides why do you want to
Author's point of view As Raphael heard that Isabelle was in a coma and still alive he was so shocked. “Alright, I-I will be at the hospital soon.” He stuttered, Raphael was confused, seeing from the TV how fatal the accident was, how the car crashed down, he thought they would both die at a spot. He then suddenly remembered Dominic. “What about Mr Dominic?” He asked quickly. “His body wasn't found, so no one knows if he is still alive or dead.” The lady over the phone answered. Raphael released a breath and thought Dominic might be dead by now. “I will be at the hospital shortly,” Raphael answered and hung up. He took the last sip of his whisky and stood up to go change up before leaving for the hospital. The hospital's name was mentioned earlier while he was watching TV so he didn't bother asking. As he got to the hospital he was directed to the doctor's office. They both greeted themselves and Raphael sat opposite to him. He didn't even act like someone he married was be
Author's point of view “Don't tell me my wife is dead.” Raphael sounded worried at least, even if he wanted Isabelle dead he still had a soft spot for her. Should I call that a psychic? Or what?“She isn't dead but the baby is, the baby had to go for her to live due to the injections we gave to her, the injections were too strong for the baby to survive, I am sorry Mr. Raphael, “ the sector said but Raphael saw that as a piece of better news, he didn't even want a seed of Dominic to remain alive. “Doctor that isn't my concern now, all I want is for my wife to be back on her feet, at least regain consciousness again,” Raphael said and the doctor nodded. “That’s our measure of concern as well, we are still trying our best, she is indeed a strong woman, and she will fight her way through.” The doctor replied to him. “Is there any necessary thing I need to know about her health?” Raphael asked the doctor, he wanted to leave already. “There is nothing else, we will always make sure t
