VIENNA'S P.O.V. I paid for a visit from Vienna Cosmetics, and continuously, we were getting good reviews from our customers. As the CEO, I'm very proud of what I have right now. Starting from the dedicated people, and the flow of sales of every product we released. It was all so smooth, that even myself didn't understand where all these things came from, yet all I could say was those efforts we have exerted paid off. I just hope these things would continue, and even if there were times that there would be struggles, I just hope that I could handle them well.I drove back home since I still have one more responsible left at the mansion, and that is taking care of my baby boy, Lucas. Of course, I couldn't forget him as my top priority. When I entered the mansion, the maid came running to me in a panic which made me instantly confused about her actions. "What's wrong?" I instantly asked as soon as she came to me. "Miss Vienna, Sir William was arrested!" She exclaimed while looking at
TESSA'S P.O.V.My eyes were swollen... My heart was breaking...My daughter is gone. She was the only reason why I could call myself a mother. The light in my dark world. What would I do now? I called William from prison even though my parents forbid me to do it. They also tried to bring me out of the morgue, but I don't want to. I wanted to stay beside my daughter even though I knew that there was no sign of her coming back to me. The doctors told me to leave the place since it won't be good for my health to stay in the room. So, I had no other choice but to leave and stay outside while crying. After a few moments, a police mobile parked in front of the entrance of the hospital. A cop went out from it, followed by William who was still hand-cuffed. They went inside the hospital, and while they were walking, my parents instantly looked at me in disbelief because they knew that I was the one who called and told William about our daughter's death. William's eyes were swollen, and he
VIENNA'S P.O.V. William took his last breath, and finally closed his eyes. I touched his face and tried to wake him up. I tap him and started shaking him even though I knew that he already gave me his last words. There was no sign of him coming back to us now. I knew it was all too late for me to say those forgiving words, but at least I told him everything he needed to know. It was very hurting. My wrath against him instantly faded away after I felt how sincere he was regarding his apology. "He loved you so much..."I turned to Tessa after she said those words. "Didn't you realize what you did?" I exclaimed after that while in tears. Tessa smiled bitterly. "I knew from the very start that I had no match of you, Vanessa. Even before that time I knew you were pregnant with William's child," She continued. "William couldn't get you out of his head. I knew that he loved you so much, but it was my love for him that kept me blinded about that. I struggled with fate, that there might
“Guards, take this woman away from my mansion!” Tessa shouted angrily while pointing her finger toward me.As soon as the guards heard what she said, they all ran and started grabbing my wrists. But, my determination is enough for me to fight back. I don’t care if I looked pathetic in this state. But I will do everything to fight for the right of this little life inside my womb.Then the guard beside me whispered while they are all dragging me away from the main entrance, “Don’t make this hard for us.”I harshly removed their hands from me and shouted with all my might, “I am not leaving this place until I talk to William!”I ran as fast as I could to reach the mansion’s main entrance. I don’t care if Tessa is still there or what. I want to talk to William and tell him about the news and whether this will be a good or a bad one for him.When I reached the entrance, there I saw William going down the stairs. He’s wearing his business suit and surely is ready for a busy day ahead. Tessa
As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a ceiling and walls painted white all around. There were curtains and I could also hear a continuous beating sound of a machine beside me.“Where am I?” I whispered.I tried to sit and lean against the bed. I got a little dizzy and touched my head. Then, I noticed that a wired thing is attached to my hand.I was all in wonder when suddenly the door went open. Then, I saw a woman wearing a white uniform come in holding a folder and smiling at me.“Finally, you’re awake,” She said with a gentle voice.“Why I’m here?” I asked while still having confusion in me.“They told us you fainted and…” She was still telling me what happened when I suddenly got flashbacks in my head.My eyes got widened when I suddenly remembered one important thing to ask. “How about the baby?”“Don’t worry. The baby is fine. You just have to be careful next time and don’t involve yourself with too much stress. That might affect the baby.” She replied.I sighed as soon as I heard
After requesting discharge, I realized that William already left me here at the hospital. He didn’t even wait for me to get discharged.“But, based on the doctor’s records, you still need to rest,” The nurse insisted.“I’ve rested enough. I need to go,” I coldly replied.The nurse gave me a paper to sign for discharge. After a few minutes of waiting, my request was finally granted.I asked for the hospital bill but she told me that all of them were already paid. So, William paid them all. For sure, he did it.I went out of the hospital trying my best to be strong in this struggle that I have. There were only two people who knew my condition. The first person who knew this already abandoned me. And, I didn’t expect the other one either.I was about to ride a cab when a black van blocked my way.“Hey! Be careful driving, you almost hit me!” I shouted while harshly tapping the side door of it.Suddenly, the window slowly went open. Then, I didn’t expect that I will see her face again thi
-AFTER 7 MONTHS- I decided to resign from work after what happened to me and William. I can’t stay in that place anymore especially the time when I knew that I was pregnant. People might get have ideas about us since they didn’t know anything about my personal life. I just don’t want to be the hot topic of the company. I also want to forget about William. Even though I knew from the very start that I was just his other woman, I seriously fell in love with him. I clung to his promises of giving me the life I once dreamt about. But, what could a mistress expect? I fell for those promises that made me realize that I would never have those, especially from him.After that night, I finally decided to forget about him, and all of his memories in my head. But, one thing I forgot about was, no matter how I try to do it. I have his child in me that will always remind me of all the things we did.It’s been seven months since that day, and each month passed by so fast. My tummy is getting bigge
I opened my eyes, and here I go again. I could see the same view of the place I always visit. I could hear the sound of the machine beside me, helping me to know that I still have heartbeats. I looked around a bit and saw that Mama Lynette was sitting next to me. Her head was leaning beside my bed. She was sleeping.I tried to remember the reason for my being hospitalized again. Then, everything suddenly flashed back into my mind.“I saved the boy…” I said to myself.Because of that, Mama Lynette opened her eyes and looked at me. I woke her up. She immediately held my hand. “You’re awake!” She exclaimed with all happiness.I smiled and looked at her. Then, she immediately went out to call the doctor. After a few seconds, the doctor came in with a nurse beside him. They were carrying a folder in their hands. Then they entered and smiled at me. The doctor immediately used his stethoscope to check my condition, then he noted something in his folder.“You’re getting better now, Miss Loren

TESSA'S P.O.V.Today, we agreed that we would let my daughter undergo the operation. No matter what the doctors told us, we insisted. I was desperate since I wanted her to live. The doctors told us already that she might not survive during the operation, but as a mother, I wanted her to. Regardless of what the doctors said, I spent money just for the health of my daughter. I didn't get anything from William or even ask him to give me anything. The last time we talked about our daughter, he didn't believe me. He ignored my cries for help. He thought I was lying all this time. He didn't know that I was dead serious about what was going on with our daughter. I tried to reach him again but looks like he blacklisted my account and number to his contacts. All I wanted was for him to be with us right now in this struggle, but up until now, he chose to be with another woman. I was crying all day long, every night, and every time I remembered how he neglected us. I don't understand why I ended
VIENNA'S P.O.V.After conversing with Nicholas the last time he visited me at my company, I was determined to let Lucas and him take the DNA Test secretly. William never had any idea about us seeing each other since I believe he would suspect us and surely be angry about it. From the moment he saw Nicholas at the party last time, he became too protective of me and Lucas. I don't know what was running inside his head, but I felt that his mood instantly changed when he saw Nicholas that night. But, after knowing the truth about William and Lucas' results, I instantly had an urge to give Nicholas a chance to prove himself. Besides, he also wanted to know the truth. A few days ago, Nicholas and I went to the laboratory to have a DNA Test. I brought something that Lucas was always using since I believe that it could be used to have the laboratory results. After that, the doctor told us to wait for three days. Meeting Nicholas secretly and doing those things was not that easy for me. I bel
TESSA'S P.O.V.I desperately called William out of my panic because my daughter was suddenly having seizures. We already called an ambulance and followed her there. I also called my parents to be with me since I don't know what would I do because of this sudden happening. At first, William was too stubborn to talk to me. Maybe because he got used of me always calling him, but this time is a serious matter. Our daughter needs him! He should be there at the hospital to see her. Regardless of how many rejections I got from calling, I finally received a good answer. His secretary told me that he would go to the hospital, he just needed the address to where he would go. I immediately gave thme everything that they needed for William to visit. While doing those things, I felt like I also pty myself. I pity my daughter, too. William is her father, but William made us feel like we are not important to him anymore. I still needed to beg for his attention, and he would only go just because som
WILLIAM'S P.O.V."Sir, Miss Tessa is on the phone," My secretary said as soon as he entered the room. I narrowed my eyes and looked at him after what he said. "Didn't I tell you that I don't want to entertain calls from the woman?" I asked while looking at him. After hearing those words from me, he nodded and told me that he would relay what I said to Tessa. Then, he left my office. I smirked and shook my head after that. I don't understand why Tessa still won't stop bothering me after all the things that happened between us. She kept calling me and begging for my attention. As far as I can remember, she signed the divorce papers already few months ago. We both agreed that we would never bother each other again, but look at what she was doing to me right now. She kept doing things that would make me disturbed. For the second time, my secretary knocked again. As soon as I saw him enter the room, I already knew that he would insist on the phone call from Tessa. So, I instantly tapp
VIENNA'S P.O.V.A few months have passed, and my son, Lucas, has already reached his 7th month from his birth. I have seen his growth during the months I have cared for him. I saw how handsome he would become in the future, and how many girls would be rooting for him. I tried my best to become the best mother that I could be. Even though I was too focused on him, I never forgot to manage Vienna Cosmetics very well. The company's performance was getting better and has kept receiving higher ratings than before. It was as if I didn't have any other priorities at the moment to the fact that, I was taking care of my seven-month-old child. Ever since I gave birth to our son, William continued giving his best to be the father to Lucas. He kept surprising me whenever he exerted effort for us. He always makes us his priority. As if he didn't want to leave my side. I cannot deny the fact that motherhood hit me that hard because of the changes that happened to me from pregnancy to childbirth.
NICHOLAS P.O.V."WELCOME BACK MASTER NICHOLAS!" The maids greeted as soon as I entered the mansion. I smiled at them after their greeting. It's been a while since I had decided to go to Europe. If I would try to remember the things that happened from the previous months, it all pushed me to decide to leave and stay there for a while. I was too broken-hearted from the events that happened during those times. I could have won them all if that woman stayed with me. If she never cheated on me. I could have won those struggles if only she was with me, but it was all too late for the both of us. During my stay in Europe, I tried to distract myself from all the things that I could do there. I tried to reconnect with my friends and colleagues there. I went to other places that would make me realize that there's more in life to discover. Before I went to Europe, I was blaming myself for the death of Sofia. I knew that the Mendozas had something to do about it, especially Tessa. I tried my b
