Rejection and YOU Chapter 64
Meadow organized a baby shower party a week before my expected delivery date. She decorated one of our living rooms into a party event space. When I was called by Lea to go downstairs, my lips parted at how beautifully embellished our place was. Unaccountable blue balloons were hanging everywhere and bags of presents were gathered on a table near the improvised platform."This is too much, Meadow," I was still in awe. She pulled me towards the center before she motioned for Iris to start the program. The two of them prepared a few games that we enjoyed so much as well as delicious food to gobble on. Well of course, with the help of Mindy. The cupcakes were so enticing that I got to eat two pieces in a row.Honestly, it was only an intimate party because we only got those we used to have around the house every day. After opening all the gifts they prepared for the baby, Catie presented to sing for me and for her little brother. We all gathered to listen to her and it was a wonderful of

"Baby, relax! Let's get you to the hospital," Denver was trying to calm me down yet he was looking more freaked out knowing I was going to give birth. I held onto him because the pain was increasing and the contraction did not subside. "Mommy, what is going on?" Catie was frightened seeing us panic-stricken. Mindy grabbed her hand and told her to stay away from us because the baby is coming very soon. Denver called Alfie and in haste, the car was in front of our house. Gladly, we were able to collect all the necessary stuff in preparation for my delivery and readied it in the compartment of the vehicle. Truth be told, we organized everything a month before my expected due date. As soon as Denver settled me in the back seat, we left the house in a hurry. Inside the labor room, the nurses were very accommodating. I felt like my energy got drained because of the pain. I was all sweaty while Denver kept on caressing my back. The pity and worry mixed up and it was clearly printed on h

DENVER'S POV When I went to college, it was just a typical apartment and campus daily routine. I was keen to finish my course on top because I believed I'm capable of it. I swore to just focus on my studies and avoid vices that could be a distraction along the way. Among those were partying, smoking, drugs, and women. I had my goals and timeline of everything that I wanted in life. I'm very particular with my plans as well as utilizing my full potential in my chosen field. I only had a few friends while at the University. I couldn't say they were my best friends because I didn't want to get close to anyone around. I was very occupied with my lessons and I used to be alone just to review and ace my exams. Yet sometimes, even if we do things in our own ways and how much we try to stay away from all the diversions we set for ourselves, there will always be something to occur beyond our control. One afternoon, I was sitting under a gigantic tree trying to solve a calculus problem whe

Mr. Parker laid out opportunities for me from different companies and their offerings were tremendously enticing. I was overwhelmed and it was hard to choose from the list. Mr. Parker was the reason why I got so many proposals to pick from because I was really eyed for my potential. As we discussed the best company that could give me the fastest growth, One Guard Electronics Systems caught my attention.

Competitors were astounded by the newest innovation from One Guard Electronic System. Clients and business associates lined up to get our services. In a span of a year, after introducing the design I uniquely created, it gave so much benefit to the company.

I succeeded in inviting Ciara to dinner and had the chance to talk about us. I got to say those things I hid inside my heart for a long time. Although it wasn't as easy as I expected for her to grasp my reasons, I tried my luck to make her understand. Unfortunately, she was resolute about her decision not to get us back together. However, giving us up wasn't included in my options. Not that I could sense she was gradually losing her guard against me. Unlike the first few weeks of seeking her attention, I could tell she was getting more amicable toward me. Traveling from Cancun back to Harrisburg went smoothly. I offered to send her home after the rain poured unexpectedly and at that moment she agreed, I thought it was a good sign for the two of us. Unluckily, after being careless, it only ended to be the worst. She discovered I got someone around to get her followed and that made her infuriated. I did my best to justify my basis yet it only went into nothing. Rationalizing my action w
Rejection and YOU Prologue
When I stepped inside Denver’s apartment, he was on the couch, leaning on his back, resting wearily. It looked like he was in deep thought. “Hey!” I called sweetly to get his attention. He sat properly and smiled, but seemed his vivid spirits were off. I had never seen him like that before. “Is everything alright?” I knitted my brows before sitting down alongside him. He held my hand and squeezed it gently while his eyes stared seriously at mine. “Baby, I need to tell you something,” It sounded so tender, but I felt something different. Uneasy, my heart thumped abnormally. “Tell me,” I mumbled while he took a deep breath, trying to collect his courage. “I got an offer from a company in Seattle,” he spoke cautiously. “And?” I creased my brows, eager to know about it. I felt so bothered, but I stayed calm. He faked a cough. “They wanted me to be part of their electronic security innovation.” He even expounded that it would be a stay-in program. No outside world distraction and ev

“Russel, don’t leave! Please... please!” My mom Emily kept on begging my dad to choose us over another woman who he met at one of their company events. “Emily, we can’t do this anymore.” he yanked Mom’s hands from his forearms before picking up his duffle bag. “Russel, don’t!” mom continued to plead in between her sobs, and to see her in that vulnerable state stung an indescribable feeling in my heart. “Mom, stand up,” I said because my eyes couldn’t take her kneeling on the ground just to win the man she loves, leaving us for someone else. “I can’t live without your dad, Ciara,” tears were falling like a river on her angelic face, turning it into a mess. I ran towards our door and saw Dad putting his duffle bag and a few stuff in the compartment of his car. My chest was clenching at the reality that we’ll never be that one happy family that we once were. As the tears were pooling in the corner of my eyes and the nerves were quivering in my system, I bit my lip sharply. I fel
