Luca's POVI cannot believe I had the most terrible day of my life. My life is a total disaster. I mean my work. I cannot seem to do anything right today. Want was even wrong with me?I am Luca Bright. Thirty years of age. I am not married yet and I don't have a girl either. We had separated a few months ago because I found out she was cheating on me with my best friend. I was hurt, but I just let it go. All I wanted was to improve my life because time was not on my side anymore.I work as a waiter in a restaurant. We are paid well, and I am one of the senior waiters. I have worked for ten years now, and I am perfect at my job, but today something feels odd. All I ever did today was bring wrong orders to the customers and there were many complaints from them.“It seems like you are not in your right mind today, all I can say is go home and relax, you will resume work tomorrow.” My boss tells me. He was my friend, and we got along really well. I am really blessed to have a boss like hi
Stephen Mark's POVThis is the hospital near us right now. We reach, and I park the car to the parking space provided by the hospital. It was already late at night right now, and I know my wife must be exhausted because we have been searching for Ella now the whole of this day but to no avail.“I just hope and pray that she is here. I just want to see my little girl.” I hear her say. Those were my prayers too. I wanted to see my princess again. I want to hold her close to me until all her worries vanish, I intend to show her that she can count on me.We go straight to the reception area, so we can ask if our daughter was admitted there. We find a female receptionist who was so nice, and we are glad that we found her.“Hello, is there a lady named Ella admitted here?” I ask.“Hello sir, let me check first.” She says, and I obey and wait as she checks her computer.“Yes, I see a patient named Ella. But what is your relationship with her.” She asks.“I am her father, please which room is
Ella's POVFinally I wake up and see my parents in front of me. I am so happy they have found me. Because I wondered who was going to take me home after I was discharged from the hospital. I could not depend on Luca, he had done enough already.I disclose my pregnancy to them after we had caught up. Furthermore, I felt like I don't need this baby because it was just reminding me of how Felix betrayed me at the wedding. I just wanted to forget that horrible moment."What do you mean you cannot take care of him? You have us, and you don't need Felix in your life. You don't even have to tell him that you are expecting his baby.” It was what my father said. I was glad they were here. They will help me with this tough responsibility ahead of me.“But dad. I feel like I can't do it.” I say to him. “No, you will do it, and I am sure of it. This baby will wipe away your tears, my darling. And you can count on us. We will always be there for you.” He says rubbing my cheeks. I felt so secure w
Sarah's POVI cannot believe that we are finally together, he is sleeping peacefully on my bed after we have made love. It was wonderful, and I have never felt so alive before. I was so in love with him and there is no day I will allow him to be separated from me. I am glad that he left that woman and came to me. This shows how special I am to him, and I promise to never let him down. I just stared at him sleeping like a baby and I can't believe it. Finally, he is all mine, and I was surely his.Although our relationship has started on a wrong note, I will surely make it work because none of my relationships have failed before. It was just like I lost interest really so soon, and I was the one who ended up breaking ties with the man. I kissed him on the forehead before sleeping next to him. He smiles and turns in my direction. Looking straight into my eyes. I could feel sparks running all over my body. It is like his cute eyes were piercing all over my body.“Babe, why are you not a
Luca's POVI have so much work today that I didn't get the time to go visit her. The hotel was parked to its brim and there was no time that I sat down to rest even a little. I didn't want her to be discharged without me being there. I remember asking the doctor, and he told me that she was okay and will be discharged anytime. I feel like I want to see her again. Even though she is now pregnant, I still wish to know more about her. I feel like something is pushing me towards her that I cannot resist. It has been a while since I felt this way, and it is all strange to me. Maybe what I am feeling is just pity and nothing else. From what I had seen in her, it's like she will never give love a second chance because it was obvious she was heartbroken by a man. Perhaps the one who she was going to have a baby with.So, it's better not to start having feelings for her, it will just be a waste of time and I can't afford that. I want to be friends with her though and help her in case of need
Ella's POV“Mother, I haven't seen Luca today. He did not come yesterday either.” I say to my mother. Both of them were here very early in the morning to come check on me. Since I was going home today, I wanted to avoid leaving without seeing him.“Who is Luca, baby.” My mom asks with a lot of concern. She showed confusion on her face.“The boy who saved me. He was the one who brought me to the hospital and the one who has been taking care of me this whole time.” I say. “Ooh, I see. I want to meet him, so I can thank him personally, for rescuing my precious gem.” My daddy says. I smile as I hear her cute remark about me. Since I was young, my father has been spoiling me so much. Until today, he sees me as I am still a small girl. There is no day he treated me like an adult. I am sure he will treat my baby the same way. I was blessed to have them as my parents.“I just hope he will come soon.” I say. The doctor comes, and he issues me with the discharge summary. My dad excuses himse
Felix POVIt's morning already and it's so cold. It is the cold that has woken me up. I look at my phone, and it's already 8.00 am and I also have to be to work at 10.00 am. It's visiting hours, so I know they will allow me to see her.I get up and take my things, heading straight to her room. I knocked and got myself in. There were two more people in her room, and I can see that her bags were all parked. When they turn to face me I feel like running away from there, but I recollect myself. “ I am not that fearful” I encourage myself. “Excuse me, Sir, how can we help you? Maybe you are in the wrong room.” I hear the old man telling me. This is my time to introduce myself I guess or else I will be thrown out of here without me talking to Ella. And I just cannot afford that.“No, sir, I am in the right room. I was looking for Ella.” I say so confidently.“Who are you.” The old woman says. I guess she is Ella's mother because she looks exactly like her. “I am Luca. The man who saved E
Luca's POVI am happy that she is finally out of the hospital. I had agreed to follow them to their house since I could not refuse her dads offer. Her house is so big. Compared to mine where it's only two bedrooms, kitchen, living room and one washroom. Here, I bet every room must have a bathroom because it is so classy. Ella is really lucky to have such rich people as her parents.The gate man opens the gate for us, and we go into the compound. “We have reached, princess.” Ella's dad says to her daughter. “Yes, father. Thanks, that we have reached home safe and sound.” She says as her dad helps her out of the car. I, too, came out of the car and quickly got her things. I was left with only one hour to be at work, and I wanted to avoid wasting any more time.“Welcome in son.” Her mother says.Did they consider me a son of this house already? It was really so soon, but anyway I felt like I belonged here. “Thank you, ma.” I say as I go inside the house. Their living room was beautif
Ella's POV.After five months.Five months now after that bad day of our lives. We were happy again. The incident was already forgotten from our minds. It was time to move on from the past. We had a lot to focus on for the future.My mother had recovered completely. She was now using both her legs without any problem. She was so happy with her current condition. Things between her and dad were fine now. They went into being the loving couple they once were, and I was so proud of them. At last, my mom was happy with dad. They were now planning to renew their vows.“I just want a small wedding.” Mom said once and my dad was planning to go as per her wish.* * * * * * * * My daughter, Laura. Had completely recovered from the shock of that day. She had now resumed school, and she was doing so well in her studies. I was so proud of her. She was a strong girl, and I was so blessed to have her as my daughter. Luca and I were also together. Now, we saw each other all the time. I was so happy
Ella's POVSeeing my daughter in that situation made me feel so weak. I asked myself so many questions. Why was my daughter passing through so much? It wasn't fair to her. Right now, I am embracing my daughter so tightly. She was crying really hard. I just wanted to calm her down. She witnessed another murder in front of her when the police shot Sarah. They police were now taking Sarah's dead body to the morgue. My dad and mom were just there, staring with disbelief in their eyes. In such a short time, the whole party was ruined. Luca was there too, just holding my hand. His support made me feel safe and loved. “Let's go and sit there, love. You have been standing for a long time now. Your feet must be tired already. Laura baby, let me carry you please.” Luca says after the police leave with Sarah's body.“Yes baby. Let's go. I am already exhausted.” I say, and he carries Laura and takes us to where mom and dad were.“Mom, dad. Why is this always happening.” I say as I embrace my p
Sarah's POV.After leaving Clara's home. I decide to just stay on the streets. I looked miserable, by the way. So if I go to the club, no man will look at me. I did not look attractive at all. My body curves were all gone, and all that was due to prison food. Since I hated the food there, my beautiful body was gone. I looked really emaciated. The streets were so cold, especially during the nights. In these two days I have slept here, I slept hungry. There was no food and people refused to give me any money. I hated my life so much. I just wish I had not escaped prison. I thought life would be easy after escaping, but it was more tough than in prison.Today, when I wake up, I see a commotion with the people in the streets. It's like they were going somewhere important. I am curious to know where they are going, and I decide to ask them.“There is a party today and some rich family. They are going to cook a lot of food, and we will be given some leftovers after the party.” One of them
Ella's POV.Everything was ready. Starting with the food, drinks, decorations. Our house was beautifully decorated to celebrate my parent's reunion. I was so happy today. All I ever wanted was to see my parents together always. At last, my parent's happiness was back. I was so happy, and I could not hide the joy anymore. I climb upstairs to help my mom get dressed. It was still early. People has not yet started to arrive. I know in a short while, people will start coming here to celebrate our happiness with us.“Mom, can I come in?” I knock on her door.“Yes, dear, please come in. I need your help with this dress. I cannot wear it on my own.” My mom says. Clearly she was happy to see me in her room. Her leg was still bandaged.“How are you feeling today, mom. I mean, it's your big day. Finally, you will announce your reunion with dad. It's just a special day." I ask her.“I feel so much alive, baby. Words cannot express how happy I feel. At long last, your dad came back to me. I had
Sarah's POV.“Where do you want me to drop you?” The man asks. I had already started dozing off in his beautiful car. I was so tired from walking, and I was also hungry. I did not even have money, so I can't go to the hotel. I know they will refuse to accommodate me. “Just drop me here, please.” I say to him and he stops the car.“Are you sure you can continue from here? You look weak and tired.” The man says.“Yes. I can continue. Thank you so much. I appreciate your generosity.” I say as I open the car door and come out of it. The man speeds up his car and drives off. I am left stranded, not knowing where to go. With the way I was feeling, I needed somewhere to rest. I felt like I might pass out anytime. “Clara. I know she will not refuse me. I will go to her house and beg her to let me stay at her house just for a few days." I say to myself. Clara was the only one whom I knew in this town. She was my best friend before I ruined it all. But I know she still loves me a lot. So I w
Sarah's POV.I wake up feeling a little better. But I was so hungry. I have not taken anything since yesterday. My stomach was rumbling so much. If I don't find anything to eat, I will definitely starve to death.My arm was feeling a bit better now. It wasn't painful like yesterday. I slowly get up, and I decide to check up the house. Maybe I will be lucky enough to find something to fill my stomach with. I manage to find an old fridge. I decide to open it and check it out. I find only two cans of soda. It's like the person who was living here had decided to vacate the place. Perhaps she got tired of staying in a place like this. It was so boring. There was no electricity and also no water. I don't know where she found water to use.“I am going to starve for sure if I continue staying here” I say as I take the two cans of soda. It was time to leave from here. I will do it now. I know the police are looking for me. And if I continue to stay here. They will find me easily. I find some
Ella's POV.I get back home and I find my family asleep. They looked so peaceful together. I felt so happy seeing them together. It has been long since my family slept together like this. Ever since my dad and mom separated, mom has always been so dull and unhappy. But now I could see a glow on her face. She looked so beautiful, and I smile just by looking at her. She deserved to be happy forever. That is what I wanted most in this life. I notice they had left the television on. It's obvious they fell asleep while watching the movie. I decide to switch it off. Before switching it off. There is a news break. I decide to check what was that important in the middle of the night. I almost get a heart attack when I see the news that was being shown on the television.“The prison bus had an accident? And that Sarah escaped. How is that even possible?" I try to ask myself. It felt so strange. I know she will come to revenge for calling the police men on her. And I know the first house she

Sarah's POV.Prison life was making me run mad. And what came to my mind was how to escape from this horrible place. Everyone feared the thought of running away from prison. But right now, that was what I wanted. I know I had promised myself that I was going to be a good girl and spend my twenty years here. But the situation was becoming unbearable. I was losing it. I mean, there was no point in pretending that I liked it here.I decide that one of these days when I get a good chance, I will just escape. The only thing I had to do was find a good opportunity to do so.
