One month later ~Vanessa held the pregnancy test strip which showed two red lines, signifying that she was pregnant. Pregnant with a child for Manuel.She didn't know how to react, if she should be happy or sad about it. Vanessa had mixed feelings. She had gotten pregnant for him before and it didn't end well. She lost the baby.What if something happens and she also loses this one? Vanessa's mind was messed up. She couldn't help but think of what to do. "Vanessa, what are you still doing in there?" She heard Cia's voice speak as the room door opened. Cia walked inside and realized that Vanessa was still inside the bathroom peeing. She left a while ago before Vanessa went in.To her surprise, Vanessa was still inside the bathroom. Vanessa quickly broke the test strip and flushed inside the toilet. She wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret from everyone first.Especially now that Manuel hadn't woken up. Vanessa didn't want to make a fuss with the pregnancy.Vanessa went out and got h
After a few days,Manuel was finally discharged from the hospital. He had fully recovered physically but not mentally since he still thinks that Marina is his wife.Vanessa heard about his discharge. It hurt her that she wasn't in the hospital with him when he got discharged. She couldn't help but cry, she was inside the bathroom, she had morning sickness and had been vomiting since she woke up.It was so uncomfortable for her. She was pregnant again but Manuel wasn't here to help her. He was alive and they were in the same house, but he didn't remember having anything to do with her. Vanessa cried her eyes out until she left the bathroom. She was beginning to feel cold.She laid down on her bed and covered herself with the huge duvet. Trying to subside the cold but it didn't work. What she was feeling was an internal cold that put her whole body system in discomfort."Vanessa?" Cia called as she entered the room. Vanessa jerked up quickly. She couldn't allow Cia to know that she was
When Vanessa woke up in bed, she noticed Lisa and Cia sitting beside her. She looked at them and they both had cold looks on their faces.She felt uncomfortable. Vanessa tried to remember what happened to put her in a sick bed in the hospital. She was sharp to recall the issue of her grandmother and doctor Allen announcing the death of her grandmother to her.Vanessa was still in shock, even when she woke up, she didn't say anything to her friends. They were looking after her, worried about her health."You are awake" Lisa was the first person to notice."Vanessa, what the hell is wrong with you? Just this morning, you were sick and I asked you to stay at home. How did you sneak out without me noticing?" Cia scolded Vanessa at first.Even though she was supposed to be sympathizing with her friend for losing her beloved grandmother, Cia still had to scold her.Vanessa glared at the both of them, she was speechless, she didn't even know what to say or how to react.All she wanted to con
When she arrived at the mansion with Cia, Vanessa heaved a heavy sigh. She was having mixed feelings about going inside.Even though Manuel didn't come to see her at the hospital.Vanessa forgave him. She held no grudges against him and all she wished now was to get comforted by him.Vanessa went inside the mansion with her fist clenched tightly unto her dress. She was scared inside of her, she didn't want to face the Manuel that doesn't remember her but the Manuel who loved and cherished her.The living room was a few steps away from Vanessa, she hadn't even reached there when she began to hear the voices of Marina and Manuel, and it seemed like they were together.Her legs froze on that spot, she didn't want to go further. It hurt her to listen to them, what more will it do to her if she saw them? Vanessa held her beating chest tight.She has to ignore them if she wants her child's safety. She just had to!. Vanessa turned deaf ears as she walked into the living room. She met that Ma
Vanessa's only request to sign the divorce documents was for Manuel to rent her an apartment. He eventually did that but she left without signing the divorce papers. When he saw the blank signature in the documents, he realized that he had been tricked. However, Marina asked him not to worry since she had already left.For a moment, Manuel felt remorseful about his actions. He was sure that he didn't recall who Vanessa was. Why did he now regret everything he's done?After leaving Marina in his bedroom, he went to his study with Adrian."Where is Vanessa now?" He asked Adrian."Mrs Howells…." Adrian said slowly and stopped to correct himself. "Vanessa has settled in the apartment you rented for her" he revealed.Manuel didn't even know the place, but it wasn't a hard thing for him to find out. According to Vanessa, she didn't want him to know the address of the place he was going to rent a home for her.He just sent her the money to rent it. Even though Manuel wanted to obey her requ
Vanessa has spent up to two weeks in the apartment, she was beginning to get used to everything. With Cia who'd come to visit her sometimes and Allen, she didn't have to worry about anything.Sometimes, she gets reminded of her situation and misses Manuel. But Vanessa didn't think of it much, she would eventually get used to it in time.It was a cold evening, she had just finished warming a hot pot of soup she had prepared earlier that day. The more she got into her pregnancy, the more Vanessa's tastes in food changed.Now, she loves eating soup and drinking tea more than ever. The morning sickness was killing her. She could barely hang on sometimes when it started.Vanessa finished drinking the last spoon of soup and she went to the kitchen to do the dishes. As she washed the plates, she looked at her tiny baby bump. It wasn't that visible, one would barely know that she was pregnant.Vanessa has the feeling of a mother inside her again. She remembered when the doctor told her that s
Vanessa was inside her apartment, she had just finished to conclude her plans for her business. She finally decided to start a flower business.The area she lived in was damp and not even a single flower grew there. She learned how to grow flowers from her grandmother so she was hoping to invest in that, it would also serve as a memory for her grandmother.As Vanessa stood up to keep the jotter, she heard a brief knock on the door. She hesitated for a while before she went to open it. She wasn't expecting anyone.Doctor Allen already told her that he wasn't coming that night so she wondered if it was Cia. Cia always informs her before she comes, and it was a Wednesday, she was always busy on Wednesdays.Vanessa decided to stop speculating and just open the door to find out who it was. She placed her hand on the knob and turned it open.Surprisingly, it was the person that she least expected to see in her apartment. The devil incarnate herself, Marina Brown.Vanessa was so angry, and f
Inside the car as Manuel drove Vanessa to the hospital, he couldn't help but panic when he saw her bleeding from underneath her thighs. It made him dear that Vanessa might lose the baby, which was probably his.He felt so much pain in his heart to see her suffer.Why did he forget about this woman? How important was she to him when they were together? Several questions popped into Manuel's head.They soon arrived at the hospital and Manuel instantly ordered for a stretcher to be brought to place Vanessa on.She was immediately taken into the hospital and a ward was assigned to her.Manuel waited outside, he didn't want to be there, he wanted to go inside with them. He was angry and nervous at the same time. Manuel rubbed his temples, the doctor wasn't there yet.He turned to one of the nurses who was about to go inside. "Where the hell is the doctor?" He asked the fragile looking nurse, she was so scared of the tone he used in talking to her."Uhmm.. Mr, please calm down. The doctor
