Were you mine? Wrong turn-Right way
Lea's POV I had taken a wrong turn, and now here I was, in the middle of nowhere. The rain had stopped for awhile but it started pouring down heavily again, soaking me to the bone as I desperately searched for shelter. My car finally came to a stop near a quaint little cottage. Shivering, I hurried towards it, hoping for a bit of warmth and respite from the storm. Getting wet was fun but I had a little baby in my womb. I was shivering to the bones, Surely it was not good for the little one. As I approached, I saw an elderly woman standing at the entrance, watching the rain with a serene expression. She noticed me and smiled warmly, beckoning me inside. She moved slowly, her steps uncertain, but her eyes were filled with a light that drew me in. Intrigued, I approached her. "Good afternoon," I greeted softly, not wanting to startle her. She turned to me with a gentle smile, "Good afternoon, dear. Lovely day, isn’t it?Come in, dear. You must be freezing," she said, her voice

Jake's POV I’ve always felt this strange connection with Mercy from the moment we met at the set. We are working on her second project while her first project is yet to debut on the big screen. She's a rich kid and being rich comes with its perks. But she is the most down to earth, rich kid that I have come across. She has a way of turning anything dull into hilarious. The industry can be a cold, isolating place, but talking to Mercy has always felt different. There’s an inexplicable warmth, an ease to our conversations that I haven’t experienced with anyone else,ever since Lea left. Maybe that’s why, even though I barely know her, I already consider her a friend. Tonight is a big night for Mercy. Her family is throwing a mega debut party, and I knew I had to be here to support her. She’s worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and I couldn’t be prouder of her. She knows I have been going through a rough patch lately, but she insisted that I come. I agreed. Se

Jake's POV Surprisingly enough there was no breaking news or humiliating headlines doing the rounds. I sat up on my bed, rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock again. The bottle was in the bed beside me, the duvets stained because it must have spilled. There was no way I could have fallen asleep had I not drunk a little. The door bell rang. My legs shook as I went ahead and answered it. It was Rosa. She pushed me and got inside , locking the door behind her. " Do you have any idea what you did last night? Do you have any idea whose party it was? Do you have any idea whose wrong foot you stepped on , Jake? ” She looked angry and disappointed. " Look, I am sorry I messed up last night. Don't try to shove it in my face again and... ” I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to fix them. " Jake! You have been mourning your ex-girlfriend as if she was dead. She willingly left you. It happens. People leave. People break up and they move on. You are acting l

Lea's POV Phill hadn't been back for days. He had called only once and said that he was caught up in some family problem and asked me to take care of myself and call him whenever I needed. Though there were a lot of times when I thought I could do with a helping hand, I could never reach for the phone and call his number. It just never happened. My belly was significantly growing and there was no way I could hide it any longer. I was already showing. Soon I would reach my last trimester and there would be no way I would be able to move around freely. I would have to go on leave and that meant I would need a lot of saving. I didn't even do any shopping for the baby. Damn! There were a lot of things pending. I tried to wrap up as much as I could before the next meeting with my gynecologist. It would be my first meeting with him alone . I was already dreading it. Perhaps I was already starting to depend too much on Phill. It was unhealthy. I was grateful for his long absence

Author's POV Elizabeth Rodgers glanced up as her private detectives laid their investigation reports about Jake on her desk.It was pretty fast but Elizabeth was always their VIP client and first priority. Detective Murphy cleared his throat, “Mrs. Rodgers, we’ve dug deep into Jake’s past. The kid’s got a humble background. Born and brought up away in a hill town, tucked away from the mainland, mother died at childbirth,father was alcoholic and abusive. He worked his way up in showbiz with no connections or godfather to speak of. It’s pretty impressive, really.” Elizabeth’s expression darkened. The thought of her daughter associating with someone from such a low-class background made her blood boil. “Humble background? Is that supposed to impress me? I don’t want my daughter anywhere near someone like him.” Detective Hardy shifted nervously, exchanging a glance with Murphy. “Well, there is one interesting detail we found.Its quite surprising.” Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, he

Jake's POV Me going to the Rodgers Mansion was weirder than them inviting me for dinner. I went only because I wanted to make amends and did not want to end up on their wrong foot. That place and I had nothing in common. The food tasted like ash as they continued serving. Not because it was not tasty but because Phill sat right beside me, glaring at me constantly. I could have never imagined I would end up having dinner at his house of all places. The world really was getting smaller day by day. Mercy tried to do some damage control and I smiled for her sake. The dinner dragged on with awkward small talk and forced smiles. Finally, Mercy suggested we move to their game room,much to my relief. Phill and Percy immediately started competing with each other, and Mercy joined in. I hung back, watching them from a distance.The only thought that kept crossing my mind was "What the hell was I doing in their world? " " Mercy, take my spot. Make sure Percy doesn't cheat. Keep

Phill's POV Lea finally called. " Phill, my phone broke! Is my aunt... is my aunt really dying? ” She gasped from the other side. It seemed like she had run a couple of miles. " Lea, breathe. Sir down, wherever you are. You are hyperventilating. Calm down! ” " No! I can't. Just tell me it's true or not? What happened to her? ” I wanted to ask her how she got to know about their aunt but I wasn't going to pry. " It's true, Lea. I called the hospital where your aunt is admitted. I don't know the details. I will go and check on her first thing in the morning. Alright? ” " I want to come with you. I am taking the next flight. Can you please pick me up from the airport? ” I could sense it wasn't just about the aunt. But nevertheless, I was going to be there for her, like I promised. Always. No questions. No demands. " Of course, I will pick you up, Lea!Just be careful. Don't panic. She is stable at the moment, though in critical care. Take it slow, alright? " " I am

Lea's POV I wanted to run into his arms. Break down, shed all those tears, let all my worries go but I found my legs stuck on the spot. I couldn't even move. It wasn't any different for Jake. It seemed like our breathing had become difficult. Luckily, Phill came along just then, swinging his car key. Jake's gaze immediately turned hostile but Phill ignored it. " They are allowing only one visitor at a time. Isn't that right, Jake? We should be moving! ” He ushered the two of us inside as I walked towards the ward, head hanging, heart heavy, as if it was a walk of shame. They let me go first. My heart shattered all over again as I watched Aunt in that condition. Weak, frail, tubes and wires tangled all around her body, barely breathing, her eyes closed, hands over her chest. I ran beside her, fell over her legs and started sobbing. " I am so sorry, I felt . I didn't have a choice. I didn't want to leave you alone. It's just that... it's just that I am. pregnant, "

Were you mine? Life goes on
A month after Lea's death - Jake stood in front of Lea's grave, holding onto the bouquet that he had brought. He had her favourite box of chocolate, custom made by the old baker lady back in their home town. He brought her flowers everyday after seeing Kai off at his daycare. He spent the rest of his day talking to her before going back to picking Kai up again. He brought her all the things he had promised to get her one day when they were little. He was trying to give her everything he always wanted to give her but never really could. Today was no different. As if Lea's death wasn't enough of a blow, after the postmortem Jake was told that Lea was pregnant with their second child. It didn't make things any easier only driving another dagger through Jake's heart. Perhaps it was just because Kai existed that he could move forward.He didn't want to but he had to for the sake of the little guy. With Lea gone, there was no meaning left in this world. All colours were gone. It was o
Were you mine? The end
" NOOOOOO! " Jake flung himself forward trying to put himself between Lea and the bullet but it was too late. The bullet hit her right on point blank. She fell right in front of his eyes,blood gushing out like a crimson fountain. " LEAAAAAA!!! "Jake's voice broke with the sheer intensity of his scream as he ripped his white shirt and pressed it over her forehead. " CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE! NOW!!! " He barked, desperately clinging onto Lea's body as Kai grabbed his shoulder and began to whimper. " It's alright, baby. Don't worry. Mommy will be fine. " Jake could barely hold onto his child as his hands started to tremble. Mercy fell down on her knees, probably the only one whose rationale was still working. She closed Lea's lifeless eyes as her body whacked with tremors as she cried.Lea was no more. It was instant death. " Mercy! What are you doing? " Jake shoved her hand away from Lea's body. " Somebody please call an ambulance! " He kept screaming as Kai's cries reached the breaking po
Were you mine? Finally-Our wedding
Lea's POV I stood in front of the grand mirror.Today, I would marry Jake, the love of my life, and the father of my Kai. Our journey had been anything but normal but it had brought us to this breathtaking moment. My dress was a masterpiece, a custom creation by one of the most renowned designers in the town. The silk fabric clung to my figure, adorned with intricate lace and delicate pearls that sparkled as I moved. The train flowed behind me like a river and the veil was draped over my shoulders, waiting to be lifted.I felt goosebumps at the thought. "Lea, you look like an absolute dream," Lisa said, fussing with the final touches on my veil. She stepped back, her eyes bright with unshed tears. "Mr.Rodger is not going to know what hit him." I laughed, trying to steady my breathing. "You think?" "I know," she replied, giving me a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder."Wow, Lea. You're stunning. Seriously, Jake's going to lose it when he sees you."The door opened and my maid of h
Were you mine? Suddenly
Suddenly Jake leaped off the bed, crossing over Lea as he did. He went for the cupboards, yanking them open, rummaging through the drawer as he did. Lea raised herself up on one elbow, watching him closely. " Jake, what's going on? " She asked with one brow raised. " I swear it has to be somewhere in here. I left it just as it was. " Jake kept searching not looking back at her. Lea signed as she got up from the bed, still very naked and walked right over. " If you tell me what you are looking for, maybe I can help. Is it your wallet? " Jake yanked another section of the cupboard open and Lea stopped at the sight of all the neatly arranged laundry. It was her side of the cupboard. Absolutely mess-free and tidy, just like she had left it years ago. She left Jake as he went through the night stand , touching the fabrics and checking if they were still in the same sequence like she left them. " They are untouched. Why didn't you move them? " Lea's voice was barely above a whisper
Were you mine? Pent up
Lea's POV His kiss soothed me a little. Those things had been bottled up inside and it was high time I let it escape. Tears streamed down my face as memories I had tried so hard to suppress resurfaced. I couldn't hold back the sobs that wracked my body. Jake's presence beside me was both comforting and agonizing."Lea," he begged, his voice trembling slightly, "talk to me." I shook my head, unable to find the words to express the turmoil inside me. Instead, I let out a choked sob, burying my face in my hands. Jake's arms wrapped around me, pulling me close. His embrace was warm and strong."I'm here," he murmured, his lips brushing against my hair."I'm not going anywhere." His words broke something inside me. I clung to him, my fingers digging into his shirt as if he were the only thing keeping me from falling apart. His scent filled me with comfort as I burried my nose over his neck while he nibbled at mine. His lips slowly found it's way back to mine. But before he could kiss
Were you mine? Scared
Jake's POV " Yes, we are coming right now. Yes please. Keep the keys ready. " I called the old watchman because it had been ages since I last went there. Lea hadn't spoken for the rest of the drive and I knew for certain there was something cooking in her little head. I wasn't complaining. She had been through a lot and I was happy to be of any serve to her, any use... anything to make my Lea happy again. Make her smile and dance like when she was a little girl. My crazy, sweet, innocent Lea. She had been leaning on the seat but as soon as we entered the driveway towards the apartment she sat up, rolled down the window and stretched her neck out. " Lea, careful... " I tried to pull her back but she opened the car door before I could pull up and made a run for it. I tossed the keys to the valley with much frustration and ran after her. " Lea, wait" She topped right in front of the elevator and turned around. I was running so fast, I almost banged into her. She pulled my hand int
Were you mine? U-turn
Jake's POV " Of course you get that job, whether you like it or not. " I wasn't even lying. Who better than Phil to look after my little one. I knew he would always have his back, no matter what. Phill chuckled before turning around. " By the way, did you sign the papers before coming inside? " He asked me and it took me off guard. " Papers? What papers? " " Discharge papers. Didn't they tell you before you entered? " He made a disappointed face and looked out of the door even though he could see no one. " These incompetent workers. They can't get one thing... " " Discharge papers? Who is getting discharged? I thought you needed around a week to recover. " Lea interrupted looking straight at Phill. " I am not getting discharged. You are! " Phill pointed at Lea but she stood up. " Me? Oh, alright. Makes sense. " Phill turned his gaze back to me and said, " Get the paper works done and take her home. I think I need to get some sleep... " " Take who home? " Lea stood face t
Were you mine? Promise
Phill's POV I had to do it. I knew how much I was going to suffer after that kiss ended. I didn't want it to end. I didn't want to let go of her hand. I didn't want to see her with anyone else, even if it was my own brother. I knew I was finally letting the dam break. I had been holding back way too long I couldn't do it anymore. I had to let her know. The moment her taste touched me, I lost track of everything. I lost control of myself. I lost my sense of the place. I kissed her and she let me and I was grateful for that. I was half expecting her to shove me back but she didn't. She held me, held my hand as I took from her what I needed. My life force. She was like an EpiPen bringing me back to life. " Phill... " She finally mumbled against my lips, her hands on my chest, gently holding them but not pushing. It took way too much of my energy to stop and finally look up at her face. I couldn't read her expression. Was it shock, fear, disgust, sympathy.... I could not understan
Were you mine? Comfort
Lea's POV " Kai... " The moment my eyes opened I threw my hands in all directions, trying to get up and look for Kai. But i didn't have to look much further. He was right across and I could see him in the other room. My baby was latched to the beeping machines with pipes and wires and what not. And right beside him was Phill. He sat at his head side, his hand gently gliding up and down through his hair. Phill turned towards me with a smile when he realised I was up. My head was still groggy because of the sedative the nurse had injected me with but I was feeling all better and alright. " Lea, you are up! Are you feeling alright? "He asked me with that infectious smile. I should have been the one to ask him that question. He was the one with a wound. He had just saved my child's life all over again, perhaps for the zillionth time. " I am fine. How are you feeling? How is Kai holding up?" I walked towards where he was. He was in a wheelchair, I noticed when I went near. He
