Were you mine? My Love
Lea's POV The night was endless. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind racing. I hadn’t been able to sleep since Jake found out. He thinks the baby is Phill’s. The look on his face was of pure agony. It was like I’d ripped his heart out. God, I wanted to tell him the truth, but I was too scared. The baby kicked, a restless flurry that mirrored my own anxiety. “Shh, little one,” I whispered, rubbing my belly. “It’s going to be okay.” But it didn’t feel okay. Nothing did. I felt a heavy weight in my chest, a nagging worry I couldn’t shake.I glanced at my phone, the screen glaringly bright in the dark room. I wanted to call Jake, to explain everything, but what would I say? “Hey, Jake, I know you’re angry, but the baby’s yours, not Phill’s.” Yeah, right. He’d never believe me now. A sigh escaped my lips. Why had I let things get so out of hand? Why hadn’t I told Jake the truth from the beginning? Phill was just a friend, a shoulder to cry on,he was my rock but our relationship
Were you mine? Leave her alone
Jake's POVAs soon as Lea opened the door, I knew things were about to get worse. She looked exhausted, her eyes red from crying. But it was her expression that cut me deep.She looked at me with that stare that only she had. She could always read through me. Always. It was like she was running a scam through my soul, reading me, studying me and then her expression changed to one of hurt and betrayal. My own guilt gnawed at me, but I couldn’t back down . My pride was hurt. I was bleeding. I reminded myself, she was the one at fault, not me. She left me, cheated on me, lied to me and I was here to settle scores, not fall for her head over heels all over again. She asked me if I had just slept with someone. The hell I did and it made me feel filthy to the core. My I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of knowing that. I wanted to see her hurt. I wanted to feel the pain that I was feeling. I was a selfish beast , my ego roaring over everything. I didn't notice how frail she had be
Were you mine? Find Out
Author's POVPercy sat in the darkness of his room, his gaze fixed on the world outside his window. The moon cast a faint glow over the garden in front as if it was a silent witness to his solitude. He felt like a ghost, invisible to his own family. But he was used to it. Especially for his parents. He hated every moment he spent at home especially without Phill or Mercy. Both of them were out, working while he was left home alone. He would have gone back to his hilly retreat but Mercy wanted him to hang around a little longer. She said she needed his help with some of her projects. The door creaked open, and a maid slipped in, placing a glass of juice on the table. She moved with the stealth of a cat, careful not to disturb the shadows. As she left, Percy noticed she hadn’t closed the door properly.Voices drifted in from the corridor. His mother’s voice,Elizabeth's voice, hushed but intense, cut through the stillness. She was on the phone again, her heels clicking sharply against

He knew Phill was working overtime.So he didn't waste anymore time. He needed answers, and Phill was the only one who could help him piece together and make any sense out of what he heard. “Phill, we need to talk,” Percy said, trying to keep his voice steady.Phill looked up from his cluttered desk, his usually calm demeanor was replaced by a look of anxiety. He glanced at his watch and then back at Percy, a pained expression on his face. " Percy? Is everything alright? I am really running out of time, brother! Tell me what brings you here! "" Umm, need to talk about something important. But it needs time. You can wrap up with whatever you are preoccupied with. I can wait. ” “Percy, will you be fine waiting? I’ve got a very important patient to attend to,” Phill said, his voice strained. “
Were you mine? Uncovering the Truth
Author's POV A couple of days passed and Lea was recovering steadily under Phill's watchful care. Phill sat quietly beside Lea's hospital bed, his expression was one of gentle concern as he watched her lost in her thoughts. He reached out, placing a reassuring hand on hers. "You need to rest, Lea. Stress isn't good for you or the baby." Lea finally glanced at him, her eyes filled with a mix of worry and stubborn resolve. "I can't help it, Phill. I keep thinking about Jake.Didn't he call after he left? " Phill shook his head,Lea sighed. "I get it that you are still not over him. But you gotta focus on you now. "Lea sighed deeply again, her voice tinged with frustration. "It's just...I will never be able to explain how I feel about him. Never mind! How is aunt? I should be beside her. Looking after her but here I am, lying on this bed. Absolutely useless." She turned around, her back towards Phill. " She is still the same. Has been like that for awhile. I am sure you will ha
Were you mine? He came
Lea's POVI stirred in my sleep, the uncomfortable hospital bed doing little to ease the ache in my heart. When I opened my eyes, the last person I expected to see and the one I wanted the most, stood in the doorway.Jake! My breath caught, and for a moment, I wondered if I was dreaming again. "Jake," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "Lea," he replied, his voice rough,almost a sigh. He took a hesitant step forward, then stopped, as if unsure of his place. "What are you doing here?" I asked when all I wanted to say was, " Jakey, you came? "My voice cracked, tears already pricking at the corners of my eyes"Why? Am I not allowed to visit you? " His voice was raw, desperate. "I still love you, Lea. I never stopped.And no force in this universe can stop me from seeing you. Not even Phill. " "Stop it," I snapped, though my voice was weak. "You don't get to do this. You don't get to just ..."I was angry, hurt.The images from the other night flashed before my eyes. But Jake paid no a
Were you mine? Losing him again
Lea's POV Jake's lips moved from mine to my neck, sending shivers down my spine. His hand was still on my belly, feeling the baby move, and I could see the awe in his eyes. I took a deep breath, ready to tell him the truth. "Jake, there's something you need to know," I began, my voice trembling with anticipation. But just as I was about to speak, the door burst open. "Jake!" Rosa's shrill voice cut through the room like a knife. I stiffened, my heart racing. Rosa stood in the doorway, her eyes blazing with anger. Jake's expression darkened, his grip on me tightening protectively."What the hell are you doing here, Rosa?" he snapped, his voice low and dangerous. "I could ask you the same thing," she retorted, her gaze shifting to me. "Jake, being with her is going to ruin your career. You know that." I felt a pang of discomfort, shrinking back against the pillows. "Jake, maybe she has a point," I started, but he cut me off. "Shut up, Rosa," he spat, glaring at her. "You don't
Were you mine? Pieces of puzzles
Author's POV" Brother! "Phill pulled Percy into the dimly lit cabin, the musty scent of old wood filling the air. He hugged Percy tightly, a mix of emotions swirling within him." Whoah! What's up? " Phill rarely called him brother and he was definitely not someone who easily showed his emotions. "Nothing! I wanted to show you what I found out. About Jake... and us." "What about it? What did you find out?" Percy asked nonchalantly. "Jake and I... we might be brothers." Phill answered after taking in a deep breath. "What?! How is that even possible?" Percy looked stunned. Phill handed the papers over to Percy." But that's not the entirety of the news. There is more. So much more. You need to sit down and listen carefully." Phill pulled a chair for Percy. "Greg found out. Jake and you were born in the same hospital, same day. There was some mix-up with the records. It's all here.It sheds some light but a lot remains shrouded in darkness. "Percy's eyes scanned the papers with g

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
