THE REJECTION The wedding day
Stephen's POV.Two weeks now, Sarah and I are standing before the judge. We are saying our wedding vows. It's a dream come true for my part. Ever since I met Sarah, I have always been dreaming to make her my wife and that I was going to fulfil that dream today.“I promise to love you forever, baby. You are life and without you, life will never be the same again. Thank you for coming into my life. So I say, I do. I want to be your wife.” Sarah says after I had finished saying my vows to her. “Well, since you mutually agree, I can pronounce you two as husband and wife.” The judge says, and I kiss my wife. She looked so beautiful today. When I look in her eyes. I can say she is so happy. I was happy as well. Her white gown made her look like a queen. Actually, she is my queen now and forever. No one can ever replace her in my life. The long wait was over. It was now time to start our life as a couple. I hope this journey will be easy for us. I don't want it to end like my last marriag
THE REJECTION Laura's secret phone
Ella's POV, “Laura, what are you doing in there. Who are you talking to?" I ask Laura as I bulge inside her room. I find her seated on her bed as she was hiding something under her pillow.“What is that you are hiding?" I ask her. I knew for her to get back to her previous manners, I must be a tough mom. “Its nothing mummy. I was just playing with my doll.” She says, but clearly she was lying because she looked really nervous. I decide to just check by myself what she was hiding under the pillow. “Mummy, leave my things alone.” She yells.“Why are you being so stubborn, Laura?" I ask her as I lift the pillow up. I just could not believe what I saw. A smartphone. I had never seen before.“What is this, Laura. Answer me because if you don't. I am going to cane you. I cannot tolerate this from my daughter, who is also a minor.” I find myself saying. This behavior of hers was really getting out of hand and I needed to do something about it.“It's my phone, mummy.” She says.“Where di
THE REJECTION Changing my plan
Felix POV.My call with Laura gets disconnected suddenly. This has never happened before, and I sense that something is not right. I wait for two minutes before I decide to call again, but this time the phone goes direct to voice mail. I fear that Ella has caught Laura talking to me and if that is the case, then I have lost her to them forever. I am sure that Ella will not let Laura talk to me ever again, since I am a bad influence on her. But she is my daughter, and it's my right to talk to her. I won't give up this easily on her without putting up a fight.I decide to wait until things have cooled down a bit. In my quest to get Ella back into my life, I used my daughter in a very inappropriate way. But that was done already. I will just have to change my tactics. I will pretend that I am defeated and that Ella has won. And without her realizing it. I will be back in my daughters' life again. And this time, it will be for good.Even though she has managed to keep Laura away from me
THE REJECTION With Luca
Ella's POV.I feel good after talking to Felix. At least I have given him a piece of my mind. I now know he feels bad about all the things he has done to me. But this time round, I am not going to forgive him. I place my phone down on the table and I go to check on Laura, I find them still watching their favorite animation. I mean, it was my favorite too, but right now, Laura was so angry at me, and I did not want to upset her more. She was having a good time with her grandmother, that is why I decided to leave them alone. “Still watching, it's getting quite late and tomorrow is school, Laura. I don't want you to start having excuses in the morning.” I say to her.“It's not yet over, mummy. I want to finish watching first before I go to bed.” She says.“Join us Ella, why are you standing there. Just come and sit already.” My mom says and I obey her. I know she will help me get close to my daughter once again. That is what I want mostly in my life.After the incident between Laura an
THE REJECTION Birthday preparations
Susan's POV.It's so hard to get over Stephen. I mean, I have spent half of my life with him, so it is obvious I will not get over him this soon.My heart was not expecting him to come back into my life anyway. I was contented with what life had decided to give me. I just hoped that he is happy whenever he is.

It was obvious I will not be getting any sleep any time soon.I find her sleeping so soundly. She was beautiful, and I just pray that soon she will be back to her old
THE REJECTION End of honeymoon
Stephens POV.I still remember the conversation I had with Laura earlier when she called me through Ella's phone. I thought she had forgotten all about me, but I guess I was wrong. I missed her so much, and I just smile at myself while recalling our chat.Laura – Grand pa, I miss you so much.Me – I miss you so much too, baby girl. Where is your mom?Laura – here with me, grandpa. I am calling to invite you to my party. Mom and grandma are preparing for my birthday party. Will you come, grandpa?Me – of course, baby. I will be there. I will also bring you a surprise.

THE REJECTION The day is here
Ella's POV.The birthday party is already here. The day has reached so soon, and I am glad that we are already done with all the preparations. May alarm rings and since I was already awake, I slowly get up from my bed and I head downstairs to the living room. It was beautifully decorated with Laura's pictures all over. Clearly, mom has done a beautiful job.Laura was still sleeping in her room and I chose not to disturb her. It was still a bit early and I know the party will only begin a little later. So there was no point in waking her now. Everything is just perfect. The only thing that was left was getting ready and heading out to pick Laura's cake. I wanted it fresh, so the chef was going to bake it today. I know it must be ready by now, since I informed her, I don't want any delays.I am about to head back to my room when I hear the doorbell. “Someone is a bit early.” I say to myself as I start heading towards the door.“Hello, madam Susan called us here. She said there is a f
THE REJECTION With my granddaughter.
Stephen POV.“Are you not ready yet, darling?” I ask Sarah, when I was putting on my tie. I was ready to go. Today was a special day for my granddaughter, and I wanted to arrive early at her party. I was also going to introduce my darling wife Sarah to my family. I hope they will accept her. “Almost baby. Just a few minutes and I will be done.” She says. She was still taking a shower. She is always slow, and I know she will take another hour just to get ready.“Darling. Just please hurry. Time is not on our side anymore.” I say to her.“I know baby. I will not take more time. I promise.” She says, and I decide to wait for her.* * * * * * * * * * * * * *“I am ready now, baby. Let's go.” She says after thirty minutes. “Ok, darling. Let's go.” I say as I take my glasses from the table. I lead her to the car and I open the door for her to go in before entering myself. I start driving to my house.
