Ella's POV.I decided not to go to work today, so I could take care of my mother. Leaving her alone in this situation would not have been good at all. She needed someone to be there for her, and that was me, her only daughter. We talked and talked until she calmed down. I checked my phone and time had really flown so quickly. Laura was already out of school, and she was possibly waiting for me to pick her up. She only wanted me to pick her up after school because she hated the school bus. I quickly got my car keys and headed out of the house. Since my mother was sleeping, there was no use of waking her up since I knew I would be back in a few minutes. My heart raced a little, and I was so restless. I totally forgot about my daughter, and she was not used to me picking her up late from school. I just hoped she was patient enough and waited for me.When I get to her school, there were no students left, and my heart skips. I decide not to panic and just ask the gate man whether there w
Ella's POV.“What?, what are you saying, Ella. I am not getting it, baby. Calm down a little.” My mom says immediately I inform her about the horrible news.“Mom, I am at the hospital. Laura has been hit by a truck, and she is in a terrible condition. I don't know what to do, mother. I don't know whether she will survive or not.” I say while sobbing so hard. “Ella, please calm down. I am coming over there right now. Just wait for me, please, daughter.” She says, and I do what she had told me. I needed her more than ever right now. I required her to assure me that my baby girl will be fine. I tell her which hospital Laura is admitted, and within a few minutes she arrives. Her face looked confused, and she was truly struggling to be strong for me. “My baby. Come here.” She says, and I run into her arms with tears all over my face. “Calm down, baby. This is the time to be strong. What have the doctors told you?” She asks.“Laura requires an urgent transfusion. But I am incompatible
Felix POV.I loved staying online just looking at Ella's old pictures which she posted when we were together. I missed her so much, and I wanted her back into my life again. That is why it was easy to see her text when she texted me. She wanted my help, and I was going to give it to her.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Shocked to hear that I have a daughter with her, I decided to help my daughter by donating my blood to her. All the tests came out positive, and we were compatible with each other. At least I will do something good for her. I have been absent from her life for six years now. But not anymore because I will make for the lost time. I will be there for my daughter always.My heart is somehow glad when I hear about that I have a daughter. I have always wished to have a baby. That dream almost came true when Sarah got pregnant with me, but she ended up killing my unborn baby. That thing still hurts me so much, and I hate thinking about it.“Can I see her doctor?” I ask the
Felix POV.After about thirty minutes, Ella walks out of the room with tears in her eyes. It's obvious she has been crying all this while she was inside. “Felix. You can see her now. You saved her life. You deserve to see her." Ella says, and goes to be with her boyfriend, who opened his arms to receive her. I get up, and I slowly walk in the room.There she was. My daughter, my flesh, and blood. She was all grown up. So beautiful like her mother. I slowly sat on the chair that was beside her. Her body was covered with wires all over. I felt so weak seeing her in this condition. She did not deserve this at all. She is still a little girl. My little girl.When I looked at her face, I could see myself. She looked exactly like me. Likewise, she was placed under oxygen since she could not breathe on her own. “Get better soon, my sunshine. We have to know each other, so please don't give up now.” I say to her as I gently touched her hand. I just could not believe that she was my daughte
Stephen mark POVI get home after spending almost two days with Sarah. I was so happy with her that I completely forgot that I also had my home. Sarah was the best, and all I wanted now was to make her my wife after I was done with my divorce. I know she loves me as well, so she won't reject my proposal when the time comes. I opened the door to the house and it was so quiet. It was still very early to be so quiet, something was definitely wrong. The lights were on but no noise. That meant my family wasn't at home. I start going upstairs, and the house girl greets me. “I thought there was no one in the house. I mean, it's so quiet in here.” I say to her.“Yes sir. There is only me in the house. Everyone is in the hospital.” She says.“Hospital?, what are you saying” I ask her in shock.“Madam has told me that Laura has been hit by a truck, and she has gone to see her. Madam Ella is also with her.” She says. I am so shocked to hear this that I storm out of the house like a mad man. I
Sarah's POV.“Baby girl, all I can say is you are so lucky, my friend. What did you do to Stephen that he loves you this much?” Clara asks me. I went over to her house so that we could catch up. I have been so busy lately with Steve that I was starting to neglect my relationship with my best friend.“Nothing girl. I don't understand why he loves me so much. But all this is to my advantage. I will use the love he feels for me to satisfy my needs and nothing more.” I say to her.“Be careful girl. All I can say is Stephen is so serious with you. And he will be mad if you betray him.” She says.“I will be careful. And I just won't leave him like that. I will find a valid reason to do so. I know this game very well and trust me it won't be difficult to leave him.” I assure her.“Ok. I hear you. But I have already warned you, friend.” She says.Every so often, I felt like Clara was being jealous of me. But I don't care anymore. I am not that broke girl whom she was used to controlling each
Ella's POV.One week now and we are still in the hospital. Laura, my precious daughter, has not woken up from her coma yet. Her eyes were still closed, and this broke my heart. I longed for the day she would finally open her eyes to look at me.For two weeks now, we have been at the hospital. I mean my whole family and I. Felix also came once he got a chance to do so. Everyone at my work wished Laura well. They loved her so much since she was always so friendly. It was so sad that this had to happen to her.Luca, on the other hand, has been so supportive. He never left me on my own during these tough moments. He was always by my side, regardless of what happened. Likewise, he is a wonderful partner and I love him so much. I know I will never find a man like him. So loving and caring. He was all I needed in this life and I will never let him go. He is my life and maybe my future. “Baby, hurry. We will be late.” Luca tells me when we were about to leave the house. We were going back to
Sarah's POV.It has been a while since I contacted Steve. He had entirely ignored me, and I feared that he had forgotten about me. Each time I tried calling him, it went straight to voice mail. It was so unlike him. It's too bad that I did not know where he lived with his family. I would have searched for him already. It was so soon for him to break the relationship, I have not yet collected enough cash from him. I still needed him so much.I feared that something bad had happened to him. But I decided to wait for him to call me. I felt like I missed him so much. I never wanted to have feelings for him, and I wondered what's wrong with me. I spent the whole of today like a sick person. I felt so weak and dull. Likewise, I did not feel like doing anything. I just stared at my phone and waited for Steve to call me. This was real torture for me. It's true what they say, you don't know what you have until you lose it. I never valued Steve. I saw him like an ATM that provided money for m
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
Ella's POV.I decide to share the good news with Luca, my boyfriend. But not over the phone. I wasted to give him the good news myself. So right now, I was driving to his place.It is seven in the evening. My relationship with Luca has not been the best. I mean we have gone through a lot together and despite that he still on my side. He loves me so much, and I love him so much too. I know in my heart that he is meant for me and that there is nothing that is going to separate us. Not now or ever.I had left Laura under dad's care. Today, mom was feeling a little better, but her leg was still in pain. So dad had decided to take her downstairs. I left them there enjoying their movie.

I was so happy when mom decided to forgive dad. At last, my family is happy again.After about a few minutes of driving, I reach Luca's house. Jus
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. Since I could not trust anybody, I decide to make it a secret. * * * * * * * * * * * * Just like always, I wake up, take my bath and I head for breakfast.
