Carlos POV.I was expecting to see Rebecca alone, but she came with her stupid boyfriend. I had to watch them from afar because I know Austin won't spare me if he sees me, considering all the lies I fed him that day about her. Despite that, they are still together and so much in love. It seems their love is so strong, and it will be difficult for me to separate them. So, it was a good thing if I joined hands with Olivia. I will never allow them to be together.They leave immediately after talking to Veronica. They looked perfect together and I envy them. After watching them leave, I walked to Nica's room. She was still crying when I walked in. “I am sorry you found me like this.” She says, while trying to wipe away the tears, which obviously she could not do it. “Calm down.” I say as I help her wipe them. I noticed she was pale. Her eyes were turning white, it looked like she did not have blood in her stream. This made me worry so much about her.“Have you contacted my parents?” She
Rebecca's POV“Babe, Carlos has called me.” I say to Austin immediately. I hung up Carlos call. I was sleeping at his house today. I was afraid of sleeping alone today after seeing Veronica earlier.“What did he want now.” He asks.“He called to tell me that Veronica is no more and that her parents had already arrived at the hospital. He was asking if I will go.” I say to him.“Babe. If you don't feel like going, don't go. I will support you with every decision you will make. I will just listen to you, my darling.” He says as he draws me close to him.“Babe, I don't want to go. But what will people think about me. So, it is better if I go. Just for a few minutes, then I will leave. Will you go with me, baby? I don't want to be alone at a time like this.” I said to him. “Of course, I will go with you.” He says.Even though Veronica had done so many bad things to me. I never wanted to repay her with evil. So, I will just go and be with her parents in this tough time. It is not good to
After one year.Rebecca's POVIt is one year now since the departure of Veronica. I don't dream about her any more like the past days. It was hell for me, but I am glad I got out of it.In this one year, my bond with Austin had grown so much stronger, and I was so happy with him like I had never been before. I had broken all ties with Olivia and even moved out of the house where I was living near her. I was glad when Austin moved me to another department. So, I was not seeing her all the time. I was used to staying away from her, and I liked it that way.I maintained her distance from her, and in turn, she respected my decision. I haven't talked to her for over six months now. Carlos, too, I haven't heard from him since the day we said goodbye to Nica. Actually, it was a good thing. I know he had already given up on me. He saw I could never be with him since I was already with Austin. He will find another girl soon after Veronica. There were plenty of girls out her. But not me. I was
Austins POVI am worried about what was happening to Rebecca. It was my first time to see her so weak. I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she had refused. She had promised to call me after every one hour, but now several hours had passed without me hearing from her.I decide to call her, just to be certain she is ok. I will never forgive myself if something bad happened to her. She is my life and I really cannot do without her. She is everything to me.Rebecca – My love.Me – baby, what is taking you so long to answer me. I am so worried right now. What is going on?Rebecca – sorry, babe. I am out of the hospital. I will see you in a short while.Me – What have the doctors said?Rebecca – I will inform you when I get there, darling.I am a bit relaxed now that I know she is alright. I can focus on my work now as I wait for her to get here. Likewise, I feel somehow nervous about the results of her tests. Something did not feel right, and I just could not wait for her to get here.
Rebecca's POVFinally my heart settled. I was happy and contented by Austins decision. Together, we were going to start our small family. We were going to be happy together. I hope nothing will come between us.After work, just like we had said, we go together to my apartment and collect my things. We later moved in to the house and started our wonderful journey together.* * * * * *Life has been a little easy with him by my side. We have been living together for over two months now. I have been really lazy as my pregnancy was progressing, but so far, so good, I could say. I was happy, and everyday I really thanked the heavens for sending Austin my way. Now with this tiny human in my belly, I could not ask for more.Today I woke up feeling exhausted. Mornings were always so hard for me. I would struggle to go to work. Austin was the one who prepared breakfast every single day. I think he was pampering me too much. Occasionally, I felt sorry for him. He was really doing so much for me
Austins POV.My prank seemed like it had worked. I have been preparing for this day for over two weeks now. That is why I insisted that Rebecca should start staying at home from today. Actually, I was happy when she agreed with me. That is why I had managed to plan all this, including paying the man who had called her earlier. I feared that the news about having been seen with another girl would make her lose her mind. But I was glad when I saw her arriving at the club. She was so angry and disappointed, that showed how much she loved me. I loved every bit of it. “Rebecca. Will you marry me.” I said immediately as she had started to leave. She turns and looks at me in disbelief. “What are you saying, Austin. How can you marry me when you have some other girl at your table? What do you think of me?” She says so angrily. It is clear she was not taking this lightly.“I am not his girl. Can't you see how serious he is? I just helped him get you here.” The lady says, and Rebecca's face l
Carlos POVI had lost all hope of ever having Rebecca again in my life. After the funeral, she had avoided me completely. No matter how much I tried to bump on her, Austin made it impossible for me to see her. It is almost a year now since I saw her. In the office, I have been banned from going in there. No matter how I try, the gate man never allows me to walk inside. The last option was to call Olivia. We agreed she will come over to my house. I waited for her as I cooked my lunch. It will not be nice if she came here and left on an empty stomach.I hear a knock and I rush to open the door. I have never thought I would call her. I spent all most one year just staring at her card, but finally, I made up my mind that is why she was standing on m.door right now.“Come in.” I say to her.“Thank you. Actually, I have waited for this call for an eternity. What took you so long.” She asks right away, before even sitting down. “I had some issues that I needed to settle first. Thank you f
Austin's POVEverything was finally in its place. Today was the day I was taking her to see my parents. I just hope they will love her. I haven't told her yet, but I don't want it to be a surprise either. So, it was better if I kept her to light because this was a serious matter.“Babe. I called my parents yesterday.” I brought the subject up when we were still in bed. It was still early and being a Saturday, I would not go to work today. So, it was a perfect day for us to go over to my parents' house.“What did they say, darling.” She asks.“I told them we will be going today.” I say. “Today. I mean, we are going together, me and you?” She asks.“Yeah. I want to introduce you to my parents. So, we will be going over there today. Or don't you want that, darling.” I asked her.“I want that. But you could have told me sooner, babe. I could have prepared myself. I don't know what to wear. Furthermore, I would like to look presentable in front of them.” She says as she gets up and heads
