Tears of Yesterday Chapter 67: SEXUALLY ABUSED
Raven's POVIt's been a long time since I entered a bar. I mean, I am not expecting that I will enter a bar with Zeb and Maxine. I can see how much they treated each other as special. I am so happy to know that in all the things that I am doing now, Axel will be out of the picture.I took a deep breath as we took our seats and ordered something to drink."What would you like, Raven?" Maxine asked.."Ladies' drinks will do, Maxine. I should not go jokingly drunk to death." I replied while Zeb was just staring at me.Looking at Maxine, she's not the kind of person who has a heavy heart. I mean, she doesn't look like a woman or a total grown-up lady longing for her mother's love."Hey! Why are you staring at me? Zeb, I warned you. Are you sure that Raven is not a lesbian? Look at her!" Maxine pointed out my face as she pouted her lips with her eyes nailed to Zeb."Maybe she's amazed with your beauty, Maxine. Just let her enjoy watching you." Zeb Saod, who almost burst with laughter,"OMG
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 68: THE SON
Raven's povI arrived at my mom's house, and I quickly took all the photos out of the drawer. Before I decided to leave my room, I took a deep breath and left one question in my mind. "Am I doing the right thing?" I am at the point in my life wherein I need to do something good for my loved ones, not because this is the right thing to do but because I needed some positive things to get done, and maybe soon that will help them see me as a good person and not the other way around.I know it is a bit confusing, but soon everyone will understand my situation.I need to do it now; tomorrow I will be busy at work, and I don't have enough time to do it for the next day. Anytime soon, everything will just go wrong, and before that happens, I need Zeb to know that her mom is alive and kicking and loves him so much.I arrived at the shelter just in time for my mom to leave. I really intended to wait for her to leave the shelter, so she won't find out the truth for now."Raven? You did not go h
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 69: THE DAUGTHER
Zeb's pov.As Raven opened the door, I saw a woman standing on the porch, facing the outside. I crossed my forehead upon seeing her. I moved my eyes to Raven, and there I saw a wide smile on her face. An emotional Raven that I seldom witnessed.. now here she is standing beside me looking at that woman.. an old woman."Raven, why are we here? Who is she, and why do you need to take me here?" I asked, still looking at her."Zeb, just hold on. This is the reason why I am asking sorry." Raven took her steps away from me as she got near the old woman.I saw her speak with the woman, and she held her hands. She slowly turned the old woman around to face me.I crossed my forehead when I saw her face, and she looks familiar. The walk is coming near me. Tears were starting to fall from that old woman's eyes while she was staring at me. I don't understand, but I felt so sad. I don't know why. I can't see any reason to get so affected."Zeb, remember when you took me home to your old house? I g
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 70: MISTAKE
Raven's Pov."Raven I am so sorry! I really don't know where Zeb was. I just arrived at his house last night, and I saw his car in the garage, but when I woke up, it was already gone." Maxine explained. I can see that she is even wondering about what is happening to Zeb. He's becoming unpredictable, and I was about to blame myself for his sudden actions."It's okay, Maxine. You don't have to explain everything to me. Maybe Zeb just needed some time to be alone, and I understand that. We have a lot of reports that need to be signed by him, and most of them are urgent. We need him back to work." I said that so Maxine will understand that it's not all about personal matters."I know.."I just got in my car."Wait, Raven, where are you going?" "I will go to the shelter. I will just meet mom and talk to one of the orphans.""Raven I want to come with you, please. I want to see what it looks like." Maxine was unaware of what was happening, but her willingness to see how the shelter look
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 71: SPECIAL TREATMENT
Raven's Pov.My body felt so heavy. I felt like I was not in the mood to get up from bed, but I have to be ready to go to work.I got a morning call from Zeb."Yes?""Just continue your sleep. Starting today, your time in will be at 10 in the morning, and I already told Sandy about it. You don't have to rush things. I love you." Zeb said, and he dropped the call, so I can't argue or resist anymore.I just took a deep breath and went back to bed since it was still 6:00 in the morning. So I made changes. I set my alarm for 8 in the morning.I smiled as I closed my eyes.Until I fell asleep and woke up with my 8:00 alarm.I ate breakfast and depleted my vitamins as instructed by my pediatrician.I was shocked when I saw Zeb's luxury car in front of my mom's house. I crossed my eyebrows when I saw his driver as he got off the car.I get near him and look to see if Zeb is with him."Why are you here?" I asked.."The CEO instructed me to pick you up every 9:30 in the morning and take you to
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 72: HEARTHBREAK
Zeb's pov.Time passed by so quickly. Now I am here at the hospital for Raven's fifth-month checkup. I felt so happy upon hearing the baby's heartbeat. I could really feel that it was my child.I held Raven's hand, and she smiled at me. I know what she's been trying to say—for me to stay by her side and stay with her no matter what happens. I knew it, and I really appreciate her efforts to work with our relationship.Mrs. Morgan just instructed her to continue her vitamins and reduce her stress."Your tummy is getting bigger, so I guess you need some extra care. I mean, you had to be very careful with what you were doing. You don't need to stress yourself, okay?" "Yes, Sir! Don't worry, I will let Sandy do everything in the office until she gets tired and just ask for a salary increase." Raven said laughing.Her laughter is really music to my ears. I couldn't ask for more from her. We will soon have our own family, and that is something that I have dreamed of for a long time. She's
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 73: PAYBACK
Raven's PovNow I don't know what will happen next! Everything was just going wrong, and I am scared that anytime Zeb will turn his back on me! Axel lied, and he didn't tell Zeb the truth! That was so unfair! I need to explain myself, but how am I going to do that if Zeb doesn't even want to listen? I can't even tell my mom about this, because I know that she will not let Axel just be free. But I deserve to be happy, and I deserve to be at the right place where I really belong.. in Zeb's life.I guess my fairytale story just ended. Hattie won; Axel's eveikness prevailed, but I will not let him manipulate me. I will not let him just be happy with all the things he has to say."Raven, you're home? Are you okay?" My mom asked when she saw me standing at the poolside. I thought she was already sleeping, and I didn't expect her to come down and talk to me."Yes mom! Actually, I just arrived. I'm done with dinner; I'm just trying to get some sleep." I replied, and I got back to the pool a
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 74: TURNED DOWN
Zeb's Pov.I didn't expect Raven to come and see me home. It was Saturday morning, and looking at her, she just woke up in tears, and I already have an idea why.I was having coffee at the poolside when she arrived.My mom led her to where I am. My mom gave me a questionable look before she left. Finally, I convinced her and her dad to stay with me. I can say that I have a complete family now: a mother, a father, and a sweet sister."What are you doing here? It's still early, and you should still be sleeping." I said as I stood up from my seat.Raven just gave me a look that was asking for understanding."Zeb, all I want is to be okay! I want to say sorry for what I have done. I keep secrets from you! I just don't know how to tell you. I got scared that once I told you what Axel did to me that night, you would just turn your back on me. I got scared that you wouldn't accept it, but believe me, Zeb, I am sure that the baby is yours." Raven said, and I felt so insulted by it!"There you

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

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
