Rachel's povI was so embarrassed when my doctor friend came and bailed me out of the hospital and he was told what I did.“I am very sorry for bothering you ,I'll pay you back,” I apologized immediately. I could not make eye contact with him because I was so ashamed of what I did. It was not that I was ashamed of my action but he had to be called to bail me out of the police station. “You don't have to worry about paying me and I heard you went to your ex husband to ask for money?" Lucas inquired as we were in a cab driving back home.“He didn't give me any alimony or any property, I just want him to give me back the money I lent him when we were still married and he refused and he has gotten me jailed,” I replied. “Your ex-husband is really a heartless man ,if he cannot give you the money that you lent him so that you can use it for your son's treatment?” Lucas asked as he shook his head in disbelief. “What are you going to do?” Lucas inquired and she shook her head.“I am not
Rachel's pov I knew that I made a mistake by going to my ex-husband and asking him for money, because after that day ,any job that I applied for I was rejected instantly, and they told me the reason was because of my ex-husband and he has told anyone that hires me that he'll make their company go bankrupt. I don't even know what I did to that man ,but I just decided to stick with my part-time job and continue working there.Jake, my son , was acting very quiet and unlike himself and I decided to approach him and ask him more what's wrong with him.I took him aside and we sat on his bed to talk.“Baby what is wrong , you barely talk to me those days?” I inquired.“There's nothing wrong mommy, I just wanted to stay alone and I feel so lonely because James isn't with us.” He replied and I knew that this must be hard on him because his brother is the only one he talks to all the time,but now he's in the hospital. “Is that the only reason why you are acting this quiet?” I inquired. “M
Rachel's povThe conversation I had with my friend a week ago made things awkward between us.I didn't expect him to tell me something like that , but he is taking my rejection well and has not spoken about it since that day, so I think it's a good sign.I felt a bit bad that I rejected my friend's advances.I don't know if I was feeling bad ,because I was in his house or because he is a good guy and I should really give him a chance.I decided to do something good for him. I went into his room to clean up his room, since there was not much I was doing at home.I knocked on his door and I did not hear him say come in, but I pushed open the door and walked in.This wasn't the first time I have walked into his room after knocking ,so I think there is no problem. I walked into his room and began cleaning it up, when I noticed two laptops on his desk.I was surprised, because I didn't know he had two laptops.I only see him working with one.I walked closer to one of the laptops which w
Jake ran into his room and took out a phone his aunt secretly bought for him and asked him not to show his mother and to call her when they needed help.“To call for help, call 911." Jake remembered his teacher's words and he dialed the number and the emergency answered. “Hello this is 911, how can I help you?"“My name is Jake and a man is attacking my mother." Jake explained quickly. “Jake, how old are you and where is your mother?" The agent asked him.“I am six years old and my mum is on the bed and the man is on top of her trying to attack her,” Jake cried out.“Oh I see, do you know your home address?” The agent asked him.“Um…”Jake paused, as he cracked his head to remember the address his mother was putting in the job interview form , he went to his mom's handbag, saw the address and he told the 911 operator and even the apartment number. “Jake right now I want you to find a safe place and hide and if you can go outside and call your neighbours for help that would be grea
Rachel was not doing well and it was getting on her nerves.She could not believe that someone should trusted as a friend would try to rape her , it was even more hard to believe that Lucas who was actually a good man known by everybody would actually have such a disgusting behaviour.Even though she and her son were safe, they were in a hotel room that was so cheap that she saw cockroaches in it.She and her son would often stay in bed. Jake was doing his assignment that she gave to him when her aunt began to call on a video call and she answered the call.“Aunt Naomi, how are you doing? Is everyone alright there?” Rachel asked her in a happy voice. It has been a while since she spoke to her.“Yes, everyone is fine . What about you ,are you adjusting well to the new environment, what about my babies, are they alright?” Aunt Noami asked and Rachel stroked Jake's hair.“Yes ma'am ,they are fine, they just need a little more time to get used to the city and all the noise,” Rachel replie
Rachel's povI called the number on the card my Aunt gave me and the man told me to come after a week for a job interview and I didn't have a lot of cash on me ,so I just decided to visit the bank, because I was done with everything that was happening and if Noah wants to find me then fine, I just want my children to be safe.I got into the back to withdraw the money.“I am sorry ma'am, but your account has been blocked,” The bank worker told me and I just looked at him in confusion because how could he tell me that the money that was sent to my accounts, I could not access it.“What do you mean by it has been blocked?” I inquired in confusion. “You received a large sum of money from an unknown source ,and you did not withdraw the money for seven years ,so it has been blocked and your bank account is being investigated,” The bank worker told me and I bit my lower lips.If I knew back then that this would have been an issue I would have withdrawn that money and taken it and kept it in
Since Rachel could not get the money that was in the account, she decided to go for the job interview after a week and prayed that she gets accepted ,because this was our only chance at getting money.She called the number when she got to the front of the company building and the person answered.One of the people who were supposed to interview her came down and met her in the lobby.“Rachel, do you remember me?” He asked her.“Yes I remember you, it has been a while ,but I'm glad we came together at a good place,” Rachel replied with a smile.She was happy she saw an old face she used to work with.“Yes I'm glad we finally met each other again, you know you're very good workers and I was really sad when I left and I could not bring you along with me ,but that has all changed ,please follow me for the interview,” He told her with a smile.She followed him and they got into a conference room, where two other interviewers were waiting for them. She sat down and the man that came to brin
Rachel had gotten the job, she began to work but all wasn't well.A man took his hammer and threw it on the floor beside Rachel's feet and she had to jump out of the way ,so she wouldn't get injured. She looked up to the man and she saw him smirking.“Sorry ,I didn't see you there ,because you are so small." He said and the construction workers laughed. She was angry by what he did ,but she could not do anything or start a fight here, because she was outnumbered.This is the type of treatment she has been facing, since she came to work at the site with the workers, they refuse to listen to her instructions.“I think you should stop using it that way ,this is the proper way to use it,” Rachel said, trying to correct a man using equipment the wrong way but he got offended and glared at her.“Get out of my way little girl, do you know how many years I've worked in this field and you just came here and think you can tell me what to do, you should get out of here if you don't want to get
Noah Pov I know a lot of information about this John that he doesn't even know, so I called my secretary and told him to gather up all the information that we have gathered against him and we gave it to the media, we gave it to more than 50 reporters to share it internationally and locally, since he wanted to mess with me I will show him that I am not someone that he can mess with. After that I just dropped my phone and then about an hour later,I saw the news on the television that exposed CEO John as a cross dresser. To top it off ,it is not only that he is a cross dresser ,I also have pictures of him wearing ladies dress going on dates with men and he always comes to the news to insult crossdresser and call them evil and sent from hell and that made people get angry and go to his company page and his profile page and begin insulting him. John's a hypocrite. He's doing the same thing but just because he wanted his public image to be clean ,so he was insulting crossdressers when he
Noah pov I could not believe that the children were actually my own. I know that women hide a lot of things, but I did not believe that she would go as far as hiding my own children from me. I didn't know the reason, so I decided I would talk to her about it ,but I would help her.After spending some time with my children, I felt a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in years. When they finally fell asleep, Rachel and I sat on the living room couch to talk about what was happening. I couldn’t keep the question inside anymore ,I had to know why she didn’t tell me.“Can you tell me why you didn’t bother to tell me that you had my children?” I asked, looking straight at her, the one question echoing in my mind. It was the only thing I could focus on. The children had also told me about how James was sick, and she had to come back just to get him treatment at a good hospital. So why didn’t she contact me when she knew my son might have died?“You told me that you will help me. That is the
Rachel povI walked closer to him.“If I told you that I need help with my company, would you kick me out?” I asked, my voice trembling as I stood in front of him.“I should shoot you first before kicking you out, or maybe dump you by the side of the road. That is the type of man you think I am. I should act like it, shouldn’t I?” he said, narrowing his eyes.“If I tell you something that makes you happy, can you help me get back my company?” I asked.“Depending on what you tell me,” he said, folding his arms, his face unreadable.“You know that I used to like you when I used to work for you. But because of what you told me, you told me that I was just a plaything to you that was one of the reasons that I left. And the other one is that you are a very dangerous man,” I said and he sighed.“I told you to get straight to the point. Don’t tell me things that are already known,” he snapped.“I got pregnant after we slept together. And when I got to the destination where I was staying, I
Rachel povWhen I returned back home, I was actually glad that the house was empty because the children were in school. I didn’t know how to contain myself. I began searching for the documents of my company in my house, and they were all there. Then I began making some calls to see if I could actually get a lawyer that would represent me and sue him to court. But I called about three different lawyers that I knew, and they told me that they could not help me, because my CEO ex boyfriend John was a very dangerous man and he would hurt anybody that tried to take him to court ,so no lawyer would represent me.“I am very sorry, ma’am. I wish I could help you, but fighting against him is like putting myself and my whole family into a problem. I don’t want anyone kidnapping my family or actually killing them, so I think I can’t help you.” The lawyer’s voice was filled with fear, and then he ended the call without waiting for my response.“I am very sorry, but you can hire someone else. I
Rachel povI was still resting at home, since I had two more days off, but then I received a call from my secretary. I wondered why she was calling me ,because I told her not to disturb me during this time. But I knew this must be important, so I answered her call.“Hello, how are you doing? Is there something I can do for you? I know I told you not to disturb me this time.” I said. I sat up, rubbing my forehead as I tried to sound calm.“I’m very sorry, Miss Rachel. I would have not called you if this was not important,” she said, her voice shaky. “But I think you should come to the company building immediately. And if you have not returned, please book the next flight and start coming back home.” She said I was in a haste. “Is there something wrong?” I asked, frowning.I knew my secretary was not someone who overreacted, so I knew something serious must have happened. My stomach sank with worry.“Your business partner ceo John has sold the company and we're expecting the new CEO
Rachel povI cannot believe that something like this would happen, because this was the last thing I expected. I expected her to live a long and healthy life.When I was with her, she was never sick, so I wonder why all the sickness was happening now that I left. I just wonder what could make her have a heart attack when she was thinking about nothing.I sat there, unable to stop the tears that were flowing down my eyes. I clutched my chest, as the pain in my heart grew heavier.This was the last news I expected to hear. This was something I didn’t want to hear today of all days. I would miss her no matter what she was the only family I had left. Why would something like this happen to such a good woman who only minded her business?After crying for a while, I picked up my phone and called the number that had just contacted me. When the man answered, I asked him what happened to my aunt. He told me he had no information and that I needed to come and speak to the doctor myself, saying
Rachel povAfter what happened and how Jake just opened the door without even confirming if it was really the pizza delivery guy, I knew that I needed to speak to him about safety and how he should always confirm who was at the door before opening it. After today’s incident, I decided to sit them down on the living room couch and talk to them about opening doors for strangers. James was doing better now. He was at home with us, and I didn’t want to stress him out. I just wanted to make sure he was all right. "Jake, I have told you many times never never to open any door for anybody when I am at home? And when I’m not at home? We’re not in that small village anymore where you know everybody. You know that, right?" I asked him.Jake lowered his eyes, looking guilty. "I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to open the door. I just wanted to eat pizza, and I was so happy about that. I thought it was the pizza delivery guy, so I just opened the door. It won’t happen again. I’m really sorry, Mum."
Simon povI could not believe that Rachel had a child with another man. We were married for years and never had any children, which is why our marriage ended in divorce. So how come, after the divorce, she now has a child for another man? I couldn’t even doubt what she said ,because that boy doesn’t look like me one bit, and I have very strong genes. I was so upset when I walked out of the apartment building and got into my car. My driver noticed the sour look on my face. "Is something wrong?" he asked, glancing at me through the rearview mirror."Take me to work. I don’t think I want to come here again." I told him in a low voice.Even though I was remarried and my wife was a good wife, I don’t know why I had this bitter taste in my mouth. Rachel has moved on with someone else, while I’m trying to get back together with her. She told me today that she wants us to get back together, even though she has a son. I would accept her back as my wife because I love her, and she has a l
Rachel POVI was sitting on the couch talking to my CEO friend John, when I heard Jake shout. I knew something was wrong, so I stood up quickly and walked toward the door. I froze for a second when I saw Simon standing there, holding the door as Jake tried to push it closed but was having a hard time doing so.Simon’s grip on the door was strong, and Jake’s tiny hands were no match for him. I could feel my heart race as I watched the struggle between them.Simon looked up at me and smiled. “Well, I’ve been coming to your office to visit you, but you’ve not been there. I decided to pay your visit here.” He said,his voice was too calm.If I was home alone, I would have been scared for my life, because the door was open, and he could easily come and overpower both of us. And another thing, I was very sure that I did not tell Simon where I live, so he must have sent someone to follow me and found out where I live. That’s the most creepy thing he has done. “What are you doing here
