Tears of Yesterday Chapter 10: BEGGING FOR A CHANCE
Raven's POVMy conscience just doesn't give me peace of mind. It's been a week since Zeb came and made a scene in front of our house. And it's been a week since Axel didn't show up. Yeah, I remember. He's out of town, and maybe he made sure that Zeb wouldn't be able to come and disturb me before he came back.While I was standing in the backyard...I saw a car parked in front of the gate. And when the door opened, it was none other than Axel."Hi babe, how are you?" He asked like nothing happened. He kissed me on my cheeks, and he gave me his presents. I know it's something from Europe. He always does that. Every time he has a trip abroad, he never forgets to buy something for me and my family."I'm okay. How about you?" I asked, well, actually, that is not exactly what I wanted to ask."Well and good. I closed the deal, and everything went well. Right after the wedding, we will go to Europe and maybe spend the honeymoon there. Or if you want, we can stay there for good.. to be far fr

Zebastian's pov.Present time.. At the age of thirty, I can say that I am successful enough. a success that I never thought I would have. Somehow, my father and friends were right. I really have a great future ahead of me, and it's still in process. I don't want to stop investing as long as I have something to give. I need to be more clever now. Just like in a relationship, reservation is good, and that is what I learned eight years ago.I was actually thinking about her. I tried to just take her out of my mind and focus on someone else, but I couldn't. But that is not because I still love her, it is because she left the deepest scar in my heart.. in my life..What more can I ask for?I have a business that is well known in the whole wide world.

Tears of Yesterday Chapter 12: MARRIED LIFE
Raven's Pov.It's been 8 years; I am 28 and married, but still have no children at all. Axel has been very busy with business, and he told me to just use contraceptives so a baby wouldn't be possible.I really love to have a kid coz that was an enjoyment and I believed that having a child is the real essence of being a woman? But how would I do that? Axel don't consider the idea of having a child for now and there is no certein te when he will be available for it. I am working at his company as his personal secretary. We are living with his parents under one roof, and that is so suffocating. I don't have the freedom to serve him and act as his wife. His mom always does things first that I should be doing. I found myself useless in this house, and I really can't imagine why I can bear all these things. Just like now..."Raven, can you tell your friends to stop calling in the middle of the night? That was so irritating, and mind you, you are my son's wife, and you should act like one.
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 13: STALKING
Zeb povAfter two days, I'm finally back in my hometown, and it's really nice to be home. No matter how wealthy those countries are, I still want to stay here in the Philippines, where I was born and raised.Speaking of, I will visit my dad after going back to work.After a long ride finally I'm at my house. a huge place filled with maids and security guards. and that was it. no one else."Welcome back, sir." My maids said as they greeted me. They looked so happy. Of course I gave them presents."Bro, let's have dinner. Tomorrow will be a busy day." Nate said, and he walked into the dining room, obviously hungry."Nate, please cancel all my appointments for tomorrow and all for this week." I said seriously.He barely looked at me as he was taking a bite of steak."As in the whole week? Are you serious?" Nate asked who couldn't be believed."Yes, you heard me right.""But you have meetings with the businessmen and women who have been waiting for you to come back. I mean, they patiently
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 14: THE GIRL
Raven's povAfter a failed meeting, I'm finally home. It's been 1 in the afternoon, and I know that Axel is not yet home.I sat on the couch and thought of something to say about the meeting. I know this is not going to be good news for him, but I can't do anything to change it."Where have you been?" I was shocked when I heard Axel's voice getting into the house. Obviously, he came home to hear news about the meeting he was supposed to attend."I have been to Dream High. Neri and I also had lunch together, so I came home late." I started..He looked convinced. He sat on the couch as he loosened his tie."So, what's the good news? Have you convinced the CEO to make investments with us?" He asked, looking at me, waiting for a possible good answer.I took a deep breath as I faced him."The meeting had been moved to next week. According to the CEO's secretary, he had an emergency for a week, so he can't make it this week." I replied, and I was expecting him to get mad.He just closed hi
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 15: THE CEO IS MY EX
Raven's pov.Eaely morning I went back to Dream High to talk to the CEO. I know it's too much to ask for attention like I was asking, but this is the only way I know to help Axel. Maybe he was just trying to see what I could do to return the favor for all the material things he was giving me and my family. I didn't ask for it, but I know my parents, especially my mom, secretly ask for material things or even money from him. That was so embarrassing!"Ma'am, let's just wait here a moment." The CEO was just having a quick meeting with the staff. Anything I can do to offer "Juice, tea, coffee, or water?" The kind secretary asked."No thanks.. I will just wait here.. anyway, thank you." I smiled at her."You looked nice. I mean, you are pretty, and from the way you speak, I can tell that you are a good person. Anyway, I'm Sandy." She handed her hands. I accepted their invitation to shake hands."Thank you! You, too. You are so kind and approachable. " I said back."Well, being rude and h
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 16: THE DEAL AND THE CONTRACT
Raven's pov..It was Saturday morning, and we had breakfast as a whole family. I mean, with Axel's parents, Carla and Luis Hayes.We just had everyone together during weekends because it's a day off. We are not busy with our respective jobs.Axel's dad had been busy with business trips to make business deals, so he seldom came home."How are you here?" He asked, looking at me and Axel.He knew that for the past years we had a not so good relationship."We are doing good, dad. We are trying to settle things between us," Axel replied."Good.. I just thought, how about if you just make a baby? I mean, you need to have it, because you are not getting any younger. Raven is 28 and you, Axel, are turning 30 next month, so—you both are in your right age.." Luis said, and I felt happy with it. All of a sudden, I felt like I had someone who could help me convince Axel about having a baby."Dad! It's not in my mind, okay? I am busy with business, and Raven is busy too. One more thing, TEMPO is u
Tears of Yesterday Chapter 17: THE CONTRACT
Raven's pov.I don't understand what's going on, but it's clear in my mind that the guy in front of us is not the CEO. He was somebody else, maybe one of the employees or whatever.I was looking into Jaxon's eyes, and he can't even look at me in the eyes. I know it's a scheme."So, Mr. Hayes, as I look at the proposal, it is quite impressive. The offer is good, and I think my company and your company will have a good working tandem." Jaxon said, Well, if he were an actor, then he is doing it well."I really made sure that the proposal was irresistible, sir. My company will be benefited, and your company as well. I will do the job, and you will finance it." Axel said he was so proud of himself."Okay! But of course! 100 million is quite a lot, and I will not gamble my money as easily as that. I demand transparency, and I want Ms. Raven, who made the proposal to us, to work here at Dream High. He can work at your company on Fridays, but he will stay here from Monday to Thursday. Will 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
