THE REJECTION My late arrival
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
THE REJECTION The betrayal
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
THE REJECTION The good news

THE REJECTION Finding Steve
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
THE REJECTION Laura's discharge
Ella's POVAfter another week in the hospital, Laura was fit to go home. The doctors had done multiple tests on her, and they saw that she was doing ok. At last, the heavens had answered my prayers and spared my precious daughter. “Mummy. I miss home. Staying here is so boring.” I hear Laura saying to me. She was so excited that she would no longer be at the hospital. I look at her and I smile. My daughter was all fine. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost her. I would have probably died too. She is my life. “Yes, darling. I am also tired of coming here every single time. It's so boring. But we are going home today. So don't worry about it, baby. Mummy got you.” I say as I wink at her. She gives me a warm smile. My mom and Luka were here too. They were helping clear the hospital bill as I parked Laura's belongings. Luka was always here for me. He had risked his job for me and I appreciated that so much. Too bad I did not give him my answer yet. But I promise myself tha
THE REJECTION Felix threat
Luca's POV.“Ella. Can we please talk? I know it's not the right time, but please, I really need to talk to you.” I said to Ella after she was done taking care of Laura. After Felix saving Laura's life, I always feel threatened by him. I mean, I have noticed him looking at me with jealousy in his eyes whenever I was with Ella. “Let's go into the garden. We can talk calmly there.” She says, and I agree with her. “Babe. Tell me I am listening.” She says after we reach the garden. I have never been to their garden before. I mean it was so big and there were several flowers which made the place look so beautiful. I loved the place and the fresh air too. “Darling. You know how I feel about you. But I can't help but feel insecure whenever Felix is around you or calls you. I don't understand why I feel this way.” I say.“Luca, you know you are the man after my heart. I love you, Luca, and I will never go back to Felix. He left me, remember. I know you have already known that he is Laur

I feel like I hate him, that is why I told him I will take my family back from him earlier on when we had met.Right now, I was walking inside Ella's house.

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
