RIEKA POV I have been standing outside Gabriel court room, for over an hour now, I can't believe my Gabriel is finally a free man. I am so happy. My heart feels like exploding from ecstasy, and I am quickly moved to tears. Tears of joy. I watch as he walks pass, while I hid. He is all smiles, which makes all my sacrifices worth it. I walk out of my hiding place and bump right into mom Katerina." Mom...." I start say but change my mind midway " I am sorry. I will leave" I say as I turn to leave but the sound of her voice stops me in my tracks " Rieka" She calls " How are my grandbabies doing?" She ask calmly " They are doing good. Healthy actually. The doctor says they are way bigger than fetus their age" I confess with a smile while rubbing my slightly protruded tommy.It's crazy how strong my babies are now, seems like they take after their father. I guess all my babies really needed was for me to stop worrying about their pa so much. She walks towards me, and instead of sla
GABRIEL POV ' Rieka ' that name keeps echoing in my head. Why can't I get her out of my mind, no matter what I try. I know I hate her, I hate her so much, but unfortunately not matter how much I hate her, I only seem to want her more.Yesterday, after I got acquitted from court, I got myself cleared up and drove down here immediately, because I could no longer fountain the thought of her having sex with my brother.Plus I might never admit this to her face, but I was dieing to see her face. I miss her and want her back at any cost, but I wouldn't show it. At least I can rest easy tonight, knowing she's sleeping in the room next to mine.I wake from my sleep at 3:30 am and hurrily get myself cleaned up, before heading to her room.Her room door is not locked, I guess she's still alittle traumatized by her ordeal with Ralph, then why does she still insist on being with him.I enter to see her still sleeping peacefully in bed, she looks so beautiful with her chest rising and falling,
RIEKA POV A week of pure torture, that is all I can use to classify this pass week with Gabriel. It has been hell, Gabriel keeps frustrating my efforts at getting evidence on Ralph.He is making my life a living hell, with his stupid jealousy and continous effort to make me feel bad.He has been changing women on a daily basis, and at first it bothered me, but after speaking with mom. I can say without a shadow of doubt that he is still faithful to our wedding vows, he is only going that to get on my nerves.I walk into his office, and there he is, with another one of his numerous slut. A blonde who is seated on his lap, kissing him like her life dependents on it. Ok, I know I said I wasn't bothered, but that is actually a lie. I am dieing of jealousy even though I am very much aware that he's only doing this to spite me.I can't help but feel hurt and betrayed. " Good day boss. I brought the files you requested for" I say aloud so as to grab their attention and it walks perfectl
RIEKA POV " Shut up, Rieka" He says simply, turning to lie on his side, such that he is staring at me and I him. We stay like that for a while in a silence, before I speak. " I missed this" I confess breaking the silence " What?" He ask " Lieing next to you, sharing a conversation" I say " I miss it too. You know, we can always go back to the way we were, that's if you want to" He suggest " I will love nothing more, but I am afraid that is beyond our reach now" I inform " But why?" He ask " You will know in due time. Can we just forget about our predicament, and enjoy the moment?" I question " I guess we can do that" He says with a smile "You know I still love you, right"" I know and I love you too" I inform. " I am tired, I will just go to bed now" I inform before leaning forward and giving him a peck on the lip " Good night"I don't know what came over me, that edged me to do that but it seemed like a wrong move, because it arose something in Gabriel, well more like the t
RIEKA POV Everyone is in a state panic, and I can hear them calling Gabriel names, a few even suggest they call the police. " Gabriel please stop" I beseech him, pulling him away from Ralph" Let go of me, Rieka. I will teach that bastard a lesson" Gabriel yells. " Gabriel you're going to kill him" I inform " And he deserves it. How dare him hurt you, in your condition" He adds" Gabriel calm down. You really don't want to stain your hands with his blood" I explain Ralph successfully composes himself and rises to his feet, but instead of apologizing, he insults " Stop acting like you care, prostitution. You're so shameless screwing two brothers" He yells at me.I seriously wish he could stop cursing already ." Shut up, Ralph" I command " Don't you dare shut me up, whole" He shamelessly insults, making everyone gasp.Right now I so want to punch that stupid face of his but I have almost successfully gathered all the evidence I need against him, so I really need to gain his trus
RIEKA POV I can't believe Ralph is so stupid to believe the trash I said. It's true what they say though a fool always considers himself wise.I have to round up with my evidence today itself. I can't start being under the same roof with this jerk anymore. I can't stand his touch, to think he has the balls to hug me after almost killing me and making my life a living hell. 'I wonder where Gabriel is right now. It's almost dinner time and he isn't back yet. I hope he's safe. ' Is he still mad at me'- I question inwardly, as I hear a knock at my door. ' bet it is that annoying Ralph again'- I think before opening the door " Ralph, what do you want?" I ask before seeing who it's. It's Gabriel standing there with a frown. He reeks of alcohol and his eyes are fuming red." Rieka, please can we talk?" He questions calmly " Sure, come in" I give him the go ahead and he walks in. I take a seat and offer him one but instead he just goes down on his knees " Gabriel, what are you doing?"
GABRIEL POV " Get me a doctor" I shout as I carry an unconscious Rieka into a nearby hospital. Her skin is covered with bruise marks from the fall and her skin looks pale from the excessive bleeding. I carefully place her on a stretcher and she is wheeled into the emergency room. " Doctor please do anything to save my wife and the babies" I beseech him " I will do my best " He says entering the emergency room. I stand there confused in the hallway.God I need your help. I didn't mean to cause all of this. If only I had known that trying to hurt her feelings would result in this , I would have never gone through with it.Last night after I left the pack I was so furious and hurt, because I couldn't fountain the fact that she would choose to stay with my brother, despite the fact that he hurt her so much, in the past and even went as far as trying to kill her. I drove to a nearby club to get my mind off her, but the more I tried, the more I missed her. Eventually, I got to bored a
GABRIEL POV " Doctor tell me, what the problem is?" I question when we enter the doctor's office, mom tries to follow earlier but I refused. " The thing is Mr Laurenzo, I am afraid that your wife's womb got affected by the fall" He says as though it was obvious " I already know that, so why are you reminding me?" I ask nonplussed " No, her tubes were damaged before, preventing her from conceiving, but now her womb is no longer conducive to harbor your babies" He says " What are you trying to say doc?" I ask confused " I suggest we flush the fetuses out" He says simply , making me angry " Flush it out. Those fetuses you so badly want to flush out are my children" I yell angry " But that's the only way. There's a 99% chance that the kids wouldn't make it to the 9th month and even if they do, she is going to have to undergo a CSI in which you would be forced to choose between your wife and kids, or worse they might all die, then all her suffering would be for nothing " He says W
RIEKA POV THE NEXT MORNING " Baby stop crying" Gabriel beseeches a crying baby hope as he rocks her back and forth, but she doesn't stop instead she increases her crying " What is wrong with her?. Why can't she stop crying?" He ask in frustration. " Maybe you are holding her wrong" I inform as I raise from the seat where I breast fed Miracle and walk towards him." I seriously doubt. I think she might just be hungry" He suggests " She just ate. You know what?. Let's switch. Carry Miracle and I would do same for Hope" I suggest " That could work" He says as he hands her over and I give him Miracle " Don't cry baby" I say gently rocking her" I am telling you babe. Hope is a lot of work, why can't she be like cute little Miracle over here " He says shamelessly" I thought Hope was your favorite" I ask with an unimpressed frown. " Apparently I was wrong. She cries too much" He says shamelessly, and I burst into laughter. " I hope you wouldn't say same about Miracle, when he beg
GABRIEL POV Ralph is dead, without telling me where my wife and children are.' Where are my children, and my wife'- I think reverting back into my human form ' I will look for her'- I here Lowell say weakened via mind link ' Please hurry'- I beseech him,before he begins the search ' I found her' He says ' She's that building' Joy overwhelms me and I immediately run into the building.The door wasn't locked so getting in was pretty easy.' In there'- He says directing me to a room door. I open it and there she is lieing in bed with two beautiful babies lieing next to her and and old woman sitting there." Gabriel" She calls out as she tries to sit upright " Who is he?" The old woman ask" My husband" She says simply " Why are you naked?" She ask confused and the only thing I can think of is to go on my knees and hug her, in relief. " Thank goodness you are safe" I whisper in her ear" I am happy you are fine too" She says with a smile as she pulls away. " Are these mine?" I
RIEKA POV 30 minutes of pushing and all for what?. For nothing. The babies heads aren't even showing. It must be due to the fact that the pregnancy hasn't reached full term." Push one more time" She beseeches me. " I am tired" I tell her in tears as sweat drips down my skin profusely. I am exhausted and seriously don't think I can push anymore." Just try sweetheart. You can do it" She encourages, and I summon courage for one more push." I see the baby's head. Keep pushing"She says with a reassuring smile " I can't anymore. I give up" I confess as I feel all my strength fleeing me" Just try" She says" I can't" I cry shaking my head from side to side " Miss what's your name?" She ask " Rieka ma'am" I say in between pants " Do you love your kids?" She ask " Of course" I mutter with a confused frown, as I find myself unable to speak " Then stop wining like a baby, and push these babies out, or do you want to be known as the one responsible for your children dead" She says i
RIEKA POV Two hour of agonizing torture, those are the only words I can use to describe this experience. This pain can be felt as strong cramping in my abdomen, groin, and back, as well as there is an achy feeling in my stomach. I experience pains in my sides and thighs as well. The contractions tend to become longer, stronger and more frequent as the labour progresses. I experience pressure in my lower back and rectum, and I feel an urge to push." Ralph, take me to the hospital now" I command in tears as I pace back and forth in an effort to release some of the pain " I told you, I already ordered Sam to get you a midwife. I don't know why he is taking forever to get here" He yells in frustration " Don't you dare yell at me. This is all your fault moroon" I yell equally angry as I feel like my waist is about to split into halves." What did I do now?" He ask confused " Shut up. Your voice is annoying me" I yell " God, what did I get myself into?. What type of trouble is thi
GABRIEL POV I drive to the estate gates and see an unexpected face, Kelvin standing there having an acrimonious dispute with the estate security. " Kelvin" I call out as I bring the car to a halt and jump out." Bo....Boss....." He responds with a shaky voice " Why are you here?. Shouldn't you be at the hospital with Rieka?" I ask confused " I......You see......The thing is......" He babbles " Where is Rieka anyway?" I ask looking around ,but yet no sign of her " Boss, Mrs Rieka got kidnapped" He says with much difficulty " What do you mean by she got kidnapped?" I ask unimpressed. ' What he says doesn't make any sense'" The thing is after we left home. I drove to the estate gate, and realized that the gates were locked, so I decided to head to the gate man's post to check what the problem was, but unfortunately when I got there, I was attacked with a stick to the head, and I lost consciousness. When I woke, she was gone, and so was the car" He says, and I immediately burst i
GABRIEL POV Another day, another nag. Rieka is frustrating the life out of me and I can't do anything about it, because it's not her fault. it's this stupid hormonal changes that are changing my sweet little wife into some kind of an annoying nag." Gabriel are you even listening to me?. I said I wouldn't ride in that smelly car of your to go see the doctor" She yells, pulling me out of my thoughts " I got you babe. I will drive you in your car then. Just give me a moment to get dressed" I inform " Wait. Don't you have work?" She inquires calmly in a concerned manner.Again with the mood swings. I wonder what is going on in her mind now. " Yes I do but this is way more important" I inform her knowing fully well that she was just to trap me." Nonsense. I say you go to work. Besides you would have to take a 2 months leave when I give birth next week, so that you can take care of me and our babies. Let Kelvin take me." She says in a convincing manner, confusing me the more. I mean
TWO WEEKS LATER GABRIEL POV " Wake up baby" I whisper into her ear as I plant soft kisses on her face haphazardly. " Sugar...... Leave me" She grumbles as she buries her head underneath the pillow." Wake up babe. Your pancakes are getting cold" I inform, and she hurrily takes of the pillow.I knew she would behave like this, after all she almost didn't sleep last night because she was craving for them. " Why didn't you say so sooner. Give me" She says excited, and I hand her the tray of pancakes and syrup." They smell so good. Thanks sugar" She says, before leaning into a soft kiss " Anything for you" I inform as I take a sit next to her on the bed.She excitedly takes a bite from the pancake, before her facial expression changes from excitement to disappointment. " Gabriel, I don't want pancakes anymore" She says " Why?. Is it not good?" I inquire confused. Nanny Teresa herself had tasted the pancakes and she said they were lovely." No, I want something else" She says in a
GABRIEL POV " Mr Laurenzo, you are free to go" This are the best words I have heard in months. Today is the 3rd happiest day in my life, after the day I got married to Rieka and the day I found out she was pregnant, and I was going to be a father. A certain wave of excitement watched over me as I patiently waited for the gates to open, and there's the one person I wanted to see, Rieka and I can't help but stretch my lips into a broad smile.She was wearing a short, long sleeve, loosely fitted pink dress and matching low sleppass, She had fairly light makeup on and her hair was cut to shoulder length which suited her perfectly. " Welcome home my love" She says with beautiful smile as she runs into my arms with a warm hug out of excitement. " You are finally mine, once more" she adds, in a teary voice " I way always your, in mind and spirit" I assure her as she pulls away from the hug and I wipe her tears off. " Let's go home" I inform and she nods in approval " Thanks police offi
RALPH POV This can't be happening to me, I can't be sentenced I did nothing wrong. That bastard was a nemesis to society. I did this world and his brother a favor, by eliminating him.I think, they have bribed this stupid judge to give me such a harsh punishment, and what does Gabriel get? a few months, propostros." Court close" The announcer says and the police officers, who brought me earlier come to lead me out.Normally, I would create resistance, but I don't want to make the situation worse. I walk towards Rieka, and she is all smiles, as if thought to infuriate me. It's hurts but I won't let her know she's getting to me " Enjoy while you can, because I am coming for you" I whispered in a slightly audible tone, making sure only her could healr." Good to hell" she says " I will take you with me, princess" I say with a smirk. " Get him out of my sight" She orders the police officers and they wheel me out.~~~~~~~~Night one in this penitentiary feels like hell. the food is c
