Ella's POV.Thanks to Luca, Laura was calm now. She had also fallen asleep after finishing her homework. I was now left with my darling in the living room. Mom was also in her room. The only one who was missing was my dad. Ever since Laura got better, he resumed his old habit of coming home late. Occasionally, he did not come at all.“I missed you, darling. Nowadays, we don't spend time like before, and I am beginning to hate it.” Luca says while he held me on the couch. It has been a week now since we spent time together. “I missed you too, babe. So much.” I say, and he kisses me on my lips. “I thought that you didn't love me anymore.” He says jokingly. “No, babe. The day that I will stop loving you, I will be dead for sure because you are my life. And I know that my life is incomplete without you.” I say to him.“Is that true, babe?” He asks. I know sometimes he feels insecure about Felix being around me. But my heart only was his, and there is no way for that to ever change. He
Felix POV.It seems like my plan failed. I noticed that Laura has a soft spot for Luca. Now what I have to do is make her hate Luca. I will just make Laura hate her mother's relationship with Luca. And that is when I will come into the picture. I have to get Ella, regardless of what happens. I just stay at my table, looking at Laura's pictures that I had taken earlier. My daughter was so beautiful. And I just cannot wait for the day she will refer to me as her daddy. I will do everything to make that possible.Before going to bed, I decide to call Ella. I wanted her to know that I will be the one to take my daughter to school tomorrow. There is no way I will allow Luca to take her. I will do anything to get him out of my daughter's life for good.Ella – what is it again Felix. Ella says immediately she picks up her phone. She sounded like I was disturbing her. Me – why are you yelling, Ella. Just relax, please. I just wanted to say goodbye to Laura.Ella – she is asleep. So good ni
Stephen POVWith these few months, our divorce was finalized already, and I was now a free man. I remember Ella being so furious with me for the step I had made against her mother. But I explained to her why I had taken such a step and the reason was I was no longer happy with Susan, and it was better for us to separate. I know she is a smart daughter and with time she will forgive me. Anyway, it was Susan who had decided to sign the divorce papers. I remember her last words to me before signing. "I am giving you the freedom you have always wanted. Just know that I will never forgive you for this, Stephen. Go be with your woman. I will never interfere in your relationship.” I was happy she had accepted that I have moved on from her. There is no way I will go back to her. So I don't care whether she will forgive me for divorcing her or not. It was her problem, and she had to deal with it all by herself. Right now, I am excited to get my freedom again. I will now enjoy my relationshi
Ella's POV.“Take heart mom. Don't let this affect you so much. I need you more than ever, mum.” I say to my mom. She was now crying uncontrollably after she agreed to divorce my dad. I know there was nothing she could do, since my dad was so determined to divorce her.“Ella, my life is over. Stephen has gone away from me forever. He is never coming back to me. I know it.” She says.“Sorry mom. Please don't cry anymore. Let's go to your room, so you can get some rest. I will bring you your food when it's ready.” I say.She agrees and I lead her to her room. She lies down and I cover her up. Likewise, she looked so weak right now. And I know all this is so hard for her. Dad has been so cold towards her and I will not forgive him for this. It was too much. His behavior was so bad. I know now that he is divorced, he will not be coming home anymore. Since he already has a girlfriend. I know I have to be strong for my mother. I am all that she has now. I can't leave her alone in this situ
Stephen POVAfter three months.“Baby, we have known each other for a while now. I love you, and I know you love me back. I am happy whenever I am with you. You are my whole life and every day, I thank the heavens for sending you my way. You saved me from the boring, useless life I had before, and you made my life so colorful. I cannot imagine my life without you, baby. And today, I am going down on my knees to ask you to, please, marry me. Make me the happiest man alive, baby.” For three months now, I have been gathering the strength to propose to Sarah, and today I decided to do it. I fear of what she will say next. I am on my knees looking at her beautiful eyes, holding the diamond ring I had bought for her. She was the best, and she deserved everything good this life can offer.“Stephen. Please. I cannot say yes to this. I am sorry.” She says, and I am in panic mode. Why did she refuse my offer? Does it mean she doesn't love me the way she claims to do?“Why baby. Why don't you
Luca's POV.I think it will be wise if I spent this day with Ella and Laura. I miss them so much, and also it has been a while since we hanged out. There were so many problems in our love nowadays, but I believe that our love will overcome all that.I call Ella to ask her out and just like I had predicted she agrees. Being on a Sunday, we were both free, and it was best if we met.Within few hours I was standing at her door. I decide to call her, so she can open the door for me. She was the first person I wanted to see at her house today.Me – Darling, come and open the door for me. I am already here.Ella – But darling, there is someone downstairs. Please knock and she will open the door for you.Me – Baby, you are the first person I want to see. So just come down already. Ella – ok baby, give me three minutes and I will be there.She says and I smile. She always does what I ask her to do. I wait for her and within three minutes she opens the door.“Babe, you are something else.” Sh
Ella's POVWith all that is happening now, I wonder what the future will be like. My daughter has now changed so much. I was so embarrassed the other day by her behavior towards Luca. It's like she was a different person. I try my best to understand her. She is my daughter and I will always be there for her, in both bad and good times.“It's time for school baby. Get up so I can get you ready.” I say to her as I wake her up. Just like usual days, she slowly gets up and goes to the washroom to get herself cleaned. I iron her clothes as I wait for her to come out of the shower.* * * * * * * * * * * * “Mommy, I want uncle Felix to take me to school today, you can just take some rest.” She says when I was helping her with her uniform.“What are you saying baby, you now trust your uncle Felix more than mummy?” I ask her. Her behavior has changed so much, and I don't know what to do so that she can stop thinking about Felix. “No mummy. It's just that I had promised him that he will b
Felix POVAt last, I got the opportunity to spend some spare time with my daughter. I can't believe I was taking her to school all alone today. Ella never allowed me to be with my daughter alone, and every time I wanted to talk to her, she always made sure she was there to listen to our conversation.I never liked her behavior and, that is why, I decided to fill Laura's head with lies that made her start seeing her mom and Luca as bad people. I was an angel to her, and that is how I liked it. Likewise, I was truly enjoying whatever Ella was passing through right now. Ever since Ella discovered that I was using Sylvia to talk to Laura, she forbid her from giving Laura the phone. But I had some other plan in mind, I went and bought a new phone for Laura, and we communicated every day. I asked her to always keep the phone on silent mode and also to hide it in a place where Ella won't be able to see it.She is a smart girl, and she did what I had instructed of her. “Baby, where did you
