Tears of Yesterday Chapter 58: RECONCILED
Zeb's Pov.A whole day of preparation is just worthy enough.I have seen how Raven loves the place and the set-up of the table, and I am sure that she will appreciate the street foods I ordered for us."For you.." I handed her a bouquet of flowers. I took the chance to give it to her because I was standing behind her.She looked around with a smile. "Thank you, Zeb. The place is so beautiful. "So calm and relaxing. Thank you for bringing me here again." Raven said in her teary eyes,"Sorry if I was out of the house for almost a day. I'm really here to prepare this table for us. I want you to experience and appreciate the beauty of the place." I honestly saidThat was true. I left the house this morning because I asked the owner of that place to give us a bit of space—enough space for me and Raven to have a romantic date."So, you prepared all of these? I mean," Raven wiped her tears dry.I hugged her tight, and I let her lean her head on my shoulder. I kissed her hair, which was so fr

Raven's pov.I felt a sudden pain in my head. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't bear the light coming from the window.I slowly opened my eyes for the second time, and I looked around. Still, I am lying in Zeb's bed.I looked beside me, but Zeb was not there anymore.The only thing I saw was a lemonade on top of a table. Attached was a card and a white rose."Drink this to make you feel better. I'll be back in a minute."It was a note from Zeb. I drank the lemonade, and it really made me feel good.My headache eventually vanished. I smiled alone as I remembered what happened last night. We made love, and I love being surrounded by Zeb's arms.I stood up from the bed and foxed myself. I have seen Zeb's old photos with his father. How I wish I would see his mom's photo, but I haven't seen any.Until my attention had been nailed in a wooden box, I know that it's not a good idea to mind someone's business. It just happened that I have a hard feeling that I should open it.I did...T

Zeb's pov."My driver is going to take you home. I understand if you don't want me to do the honor. I know it's not easy, and I am willing to put myself where I should be. Remember, you are not a mistress, because I never think of you like one. I'll see you at the office on Monday. I'll be missing you." I kissed Raven before I got out of the car.I called my driver to drive my sports car and meet me somewhere near my dad's house. I asked him to take Raven home because Raven didn't want me to do so, and I understand why."Thank you, Zeb. I'm sorry if it needs to be this way. I just don't want anyone to think that, you know. I am not yet ready to see how Axel explodes once he discovers that we are just doing the same thing." Raven explained.."I know.. I have to go now.. be safe, okay.. I love you.""I love you always." Raven replied so sweetly.I get in my sports car, and I drive my car. I saw them on their way to Raven's place. I missed her that quickly.I still can't imagine how I co

Raven's pov."Good morning to my favorite officemate." Sandy said she was so happy upon seeing me as I got into our office."Goodmorning, Sandy.""So how was the trip?" She asked..I paused for a while because I remembered that it was the reason that everybody knew while me and Zeb were away for five days."It's good. I'm sorry I never got the chance to drop by a store to buy something for you. The schedule was too hectic, and we really need to come back as soon as possible. Sir Zeb had an early meeting on Saturday morning, so we were in a hurry." I explained.. I need to make some explanations because this was the only time that I didn't have any presents with me for Sandy. I don't want her to think of something else."Hey! Don't be.. that's okay now at least you are with me again.." Sandy smiled, and I could see that it was sincere.I just hugged her, and I took my coat off. I started the computer as I sat in my chair."Anyway, I have something important to tell you.""What is it?" I

Raven's pov.."Hey! What's wrong?" Zeb asked as my hand lay in his face. It's obvious that he didn't expect me to do it. The feeling is mutual. I don't know what was in me that I didn't stop myself from saying that I am so affected by how that woman communicates with me.I felt so jealous and mad knowing that Zeb was just fooling me again! Or should I say, for the first time?"You better get inside so you'll find the answer." I tried to stay away from him, but he kept following me. "Raven, what were you saying? Can you please talk to me? I don't get it." Zeb said, and that was the most thing that I hated.. pretending to be innocent, wherein he is aware of what I was saying.."You lied to me! That woman in your house is your girlfriend! Is that the reason you didn't show up at the office? Why is your phone out of coverage? Did you switch it off so no one could disturb you? If not for those documents, then I wouldn't be able to know." I was so mad.Zeb just smiled, and it made me more
Last Updated : 2023-02-20Tears of Yesterday Chapter 63: FRIEND'S CONFESSION
Raven's Pov.After office hours, I decided to call Neri. She's a good friend, and I know she will listen to me. I know that I have been doing something wrong, and if she is going to lecture me, maybe I will just listen. Yes, just listen.I arrived at the coffee shop at around 6 in the evening. I was actually planning to have an early dinner with Jer and not just simple coffee.The food I ordered was already served, and it was just in time when Neri arrived. Take note, she's not alone. She's with Lexi."Lexi.."I stopped up from my seat, and I hugged Lexi so tight. I missed her so much. After how many months have passed, I am sure that the wedding is almost ready."Raven, I'm happy to see you both again."I spread out my hands, waiting for an answer as to why they were together."Well, we were planning to surprise you when you called. She actually dropped by my office and invited me out. So, we decided to just meet you, and the surprise was just literally meant to be." Neri explained.

Zeb pov."Zebastian Dawson..!"The beer almost slipped from my hands when I heard someone yell.I was shocked when I saw Michael tap my shoulder. "Ael? Wow! Is that you?" I asked as I spread my hands out of amazement, looking at my high school batch. He has actually been my classmate since high school, and I am glad that he invited me to his wedding."No one else... wow! I am so happy to see you again after so many years. We've never seen each other since we graduated from high school. But wait, I heard a lot of news about you. The most powerful businessman in the whole world." Ael said, and he gripped his hands.I smiled at him so shyly."So this hotel is yours." I asked as I looked around the elegant hotel where all his visitors checked in. Tonight will be the wedding, and it is still early."Yeah! Well, this is just a small business compared to the hotels you own. You know, a petty business of mine." "Don't say that, Ael.. all things came from a small one. And that is the best of

Zeb's pov."Raven, you don't have a ride? I can."Neri paused for a while when she saw me carrying Raven's cute traveling bag.I offered to take her home so we could talk about us. I thought she would refuse, thinking that Axel might see us, but it was strange that she didn't show any act of resistance when I asked her for that kind offer."I'll take her home." I smiled at Neri. She simply gave Raven a meaningful glance as she giggled."Well, that is in my favor, Zeb. So you two should take care." Neri smiled at me."Take care of—" I asked..Neri rolled her eyes, and I know she's kidding aside."Be careful with your driving skills. Hmm, eyes on the road, and of course, take good care of my friend." "Thanks, Neri. Don't worry, I am in good hands." Raven assured her."As I can see, I have to go now. I also need a rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day again. Bye." Neri kissed Raven, and based on Raven's reaction, Neri whispered something funny.Raven smiled at me so sweetly."Sorry about th

Tears of Yesterday Chapter 92: FROM TEARS TO JOY
Zeb's pov..Tears fell; I saw it in Raven's beautiful eyes.She took a deep breath as she looked at me."Why are you saying that? Because Axel confessed that he can't bear a child? He talked to you? You asked him? Why? Because Neri told you that Axel was the only key to finding out what really happened? That is the reason why you changed your mind?" Raven asked, and even if she didn't act like she's mad, I can feel it in the way she delivers her words.Those questions coming from her awaken my conscience. I don't really understand why I need to worry about things, but the only thing I am sure about is that I want her back—she and the baby."I know I made the wrong decision when I believed Hattie. I was wrong, and I admit it. But Raven, I had been enlightened, and now I am determined to do my part. Not just Ravey's father but also someone who loves you so much..""Wow! Amazing transformation, Zeb! So quick! If you are doing this just to convince me to have a DNA test with Ravey, the
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 91: BACK HOME
Raven's povI closed my eyes, and I took a deep breath as I stepped down the plane.I opened my eyes and looked around. Finally, I am home. after a year of consecutive medications. After a year of being a hospital resident, After a year of depending on the life support and machines, I am awake.I am awake, and the first thing that came to mind was to see my baby. To go back to the Philippines and finish my business here.Now, I am ready to deal with everything.I am ready to face the world.I am ready to expose the truth, and most of all, I am ready to face all the consequences that my actions should have."We are here, Raven." "Finally we are here, and I hope things will be better." Mom smiled as she held my hands."I am here for the best mom." I am not here to just stay home and sleep. I am back because my son deserves to know who he is. "I know where he came from, and I want him to get what he deserves. I can hardly say."I never thought that being in a coma would change all your d
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 90: FATHER's LOVE
Zeb's povI don't know what my parents would think once I told them about what happened this week.They might blame me for believing Axel and ignoring Raven's explanation, or they might just comfort me. I don't exactly know. I am at the point of my life where I most need family. I needed their guidance and their loving arms.I got inside, and I saw my dad sitting on the couch while watching a basketball game live on TV. Mom was just there in the kitchen, giving instructions to the maids in preparing dinner.While I saw Maxine's luggage downstairs as an indication that they just arrived too "Dad!" I got near him and tapped his shoulder.He looked at me with deep meaning, but still, I never heard anything from him.He just suddenly smiled at me and turned his attention back to the screen.I laid my head on the velvet headboard and closed my eyes.I am so exhausted about what just happened today. failed today's mission."Where have you been?" Dad asked, but I decided not to open my ey
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 89: FOLLOW THE WAY
Zeb's pov."Sorry, Nate, but this is something important. It's been 5 days since I talked to Axel, and I can't even see Neri's shadow now. I went to Hed Pad, but the owner said that she sold her pad already a month ago. I really need to see her. I have a hard time believing that she knew where the baby was. Nate, it's mine! I have all the right to have it, and the baby has the right to everything that I have. This is it! "I already have a successor, someone who will continue what I have started. "Seriously?" I said as I stared at Nate.Nate looked at me like he wanted to make sure of everything that I said. He's a friend, and I know that he will not just let me do what I want."Are you sure that Axel was telling you the truth? What if this is just one of his schemes? What if he was just telling you this because he wanted you to take the child, and soon he will use it against you?""I saw his medical records. His parents knew that he was not capable of bearing a child. That's also the
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 88: Sleep
Neri's PovI slowly stepped in and walked near a wide door. I put on my mask and hairnet. The overalls and even the plastic shoesI held the knob, and I slowly opened the door.I tried to smile, though it was so hard to give even a little of it.I have been looking at a vegetative woman lying on a hospital bed. She is having a peaceful sleep, and her life depends on how the machine works.It's been a month... "Raven, are you okay?" I asked while I was looking at Raven, who was showing her face in pain."Neri, my stomach is painful. I think I will give birth now.""What? Wait, I will just call the driver."I hurriedly go downstairs and call the driver so we can take Raven to the hospital.The most anticipated day has come. Raven is giving birth, and I can't explain my feelings. I am very excited, but at the same time I am sad. I am sad that the baby will not get to experience a life with a complete family.So sad that his father couldn't accept him and totally turned his back on him.
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 87: RUNAWAY
Zeb's pov.."Don't turn your back on me, Neri! I am talking to you!" I grabbed Neri's hand upon seeing her at the mall.Yes, it's been a week since I heard that Raven gave birth, but they never told me. It's clear that I want a DNA test on the baby, but it seems like they don't have a plan to comply with the agreement."What's the matter, Zeb? Are you not ashamed of yourself? The CEO of the largest company in the world is chasing an ordinary woman. How sweet!" Neri said it seemed like she was just having fun.I got irritated, and I am pissed at her actions. I don't like the way they hide from me all things that happened about Raven's child."Neri, you know why I am doing this. Where is the baby? What happened to Raven?" I asked.."Wow! You care about the baby and about what happened to Raven? Whatever Raven told you before it happened.. about the baby, we're sorry, but Raven told us not to show you even a shadow of him.."I was shocked. "He" means it's a boy."Surprised? Yes, it's a
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 86: DUE DATE
Zeb pov."Where have you been on earth that I couldn't find you? Are you hiding from me? Why? Guilty?" Hattie asked..I just arrived to my office and got in so quick like a policeman who was going to arrest a criminal.She looked so mad at me. "Do I need to update you every time? It's early in the morning, and now you are here right in front of me, nag!""Come on, Zeb! I know that you knew why I was here.. or maybe you were just making excuses so I wouldn't be able to confront you about this." Hattie dropped a folder on my table.Simply looking at it, I knew that it was Raven's early maternal leave. Now I am thinking of a possible excuse why I did that."Now tell me.. Early maternal leave given to Raven, take it not.. with pay! Wow! How generous this company would be. I know and I understand that we are helping people who need financial support, but I wasn't aware that we can also do charity work. with someone like Raven?" Hattie exclaimed..I understand her reaction because it nev
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 85: CHANGED OF MIND
Raven's POV"Raven! Raven!"I opened my eyes, and I was shocked when I saw Mom before me.She keeps shaking me."Raven, you were having a nightmare." mom said as she helped me get up. She handed me a glass of water, and she massaged my back."What happened, mom?" I asked because I really don't know what happened.I wiped my tears dry.."You were having a nightmare. I got in, and I saw you moving your head so fast, so I tried to wake you up. You've been in that situation for almost 10 minutes, and I started to panic." Mom said, and I saw how she got worried."I'm sorry, mom! Maybe I was just thinking a lot these past few days.. or maybe because my 9th month is almost there.. I'm fine," I replied."You made me worry...""I'm really sorry," I replied with a smile."Okay, just stay here and calm yourself. I will just ask the cook to prepare something so you can eat. It's already 10 in the evening." Mom stood up and went into the kitchen.I couldn't imagine that I fell asleep for that lon
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 84: REQUEST
Raven's povI don't understand why Zeb suddenly changed his mood. I mean, he talked to me, and he was asking me to take my leave earlier than what was stated in the contract. Maternal leave should begin in the ninth month of pregnancy for every pregnant woman. I am on my eighth year and yet he wanted me to take a leave.I got scared.How is that just his excuse to kick me out of his company? How, if that is just his way of saying that I am no longer needed in his company?That hurst...From head to toe, I am shaking... I really need a job now. I know Mo can take care of everything, but of course, that would be the least thing that I can do. I am no longer sure with my pregnancy if I still see the beautiful world after giving birth. At least my mom could tell my child that I knew something about him."Raven, what were you thinking? You shouldn't have been standing that long. Come and take your seat." Sandy said when she noticed that I was just standing near the window. It was lunch bre
