THE REJECTION Going back to Sarah
Stephen POV.For over two weeks now, I have not set my eyes on Sarah, my love, and I miss her so much. Actually, I cannot continue like this anymore. I had to temporarily block her number, so she could not reach me. I also instructed my office not to provide her any information concerning me because I knew she will begin looking for me. I needed to be there for my family because I had neglected them enough. After Laura's discharge, that is when I decided to look for her. I just hoped she will forgive me for not telling her anything. I just wished that she misses me the same way I miss her right now. With Susan, it was different. Even after finding out that our granddaughter had an accident, we have not talked to each other. She just completely ignored me like I did not exist. But I understood. I never wanted to hurt her again. I had already done enough damage to her already. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Right now, I am standing at the door of Sarah's apartment. I had not called he
THE REJECTION Felix irritating behaviour
Ella's POVWith a few months, my daughter was well. Her hand and leg had totally healed, and the doctor had allowed her to go back to school. That was one of the happiest news I have heard lately. Thanks to all my family members, my daughter is well again. I promise myself that from now onwards, I will be so cautious of my druthers safety. I will be the one who will take her to school and also the one to pick her up after school. Luca had also promised to help me out. I was so grateful to him. Right now, her nanny was getting her ready for school. She was excited to go back to school all over again, and I was glad that she had missed school. Even though she had lost so much during the months when she was at home, I know she will catch up soon with the others. She was so bright anyway. Mommy. I am ready for school. Will you take me?” Laura comes running into my room. She was so happy.“Yes baby, why won't I take my princess on her first day? I will go with you, baby. But for now, le
THE REJECTION Laura's stubbornness
Ella's POV.“Madam, where is my daughter. I came to pick her up, but I could not find her. I hope she has not left all by herself like the last time.” I ask Laura's teacher. My mind was on a panic node right now. My daughter was nowhere to be found just like the last time and if something bad happens to her this time, I am sure I won't take it. “I am sorry ma'am, but her dad picked her up. How come you don't know about this.” She says.“Her dad?” I ask her, “Yes, Mr. Felix. The man you were with in the morning.” She says.How can Felix do this without informing me first? This was getting out of hand and I needed to do something about it straight away. I just hate this behavior of his.“So sorry madam, I must have forgotten that he was the one supposed to pick up Laura. Sorry for the disturbance.” I apologize to her and I leave the school premise. When I get into my car, the first thing to do is calling Felix. He was crossing his limits with me.Felix – Hello Ella, I was expecting y
THE REJECTION Ella's worry
Susan POV.“You are home late today, what happened.” I asked Ella when she was home with Laura. They had taken time to get home, and I was beginning to get worried. I was about to call them when I saw Ella's car entering the compound.“You won't believe what happened, mum.” Ella says.“What happened, tell me. But first. Laura, can you go upstairs and change your school uniform? Grandma has prepared something delicious for you.” I say.“Yes grandma.” Laura says and rushes to her room. I am left with Ella and I take her to the couch, so we could talk. She is my daughter and I wanted the best for her. “So tell me, Ella.” I say to her.“Its Felix mom. Today, he took Laura from school without my permission. And Laura, she is acting as if she cannot live without him. It's like he is turning my daughter against me. I hate all this mother” Ella says.“I knew from the beginning that Felix did not have good intentions, it was not a coincidence that he was available on the day of Laura's accid
THE REJECTION Planning for the wedding
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
THE REJECTION An empty threat
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
THE REJECTION The divorce
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
THE REJECTION Worried about my mom
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
