Chapter 82 A few weeks later Ren POV The last five weeks have been the worst days of my life, but I'm still pushing through. I went back to start working for Mr. Douglas just as Alicia wanted, although I have no clue about what she's up to. She has been keeping me at arm's length, and we've just been living like housemates because I can't say like enemies. She has been frequenting the hospital, and never allowed me to know what has been happening with her health, and not even that of the baby. Things have really been hard on me, and I feel like I'm going to lose my mind soon if she continues to do this. I check my wristwatch for the umpteenth time while waiting in the living room for Alicia to come join me. I overheard her talking with the doctor on the phone yesterday, and with the way she spoke to him, I guess they are having an appointment today. I won't let her go alone. The sound of the footsteps descending down the staircase pulls my attention, and I look in

Chapter 84 Alicia POV "Your test result shows that you have been stressed lately. You need some rest, Mrs. Houston," The doctor says to me a few minutes after the medical checkup, and I slowly nod my head. "What about my baby?" I inquire, and he nods his head with a bright smile on his face which only means that the baby is doing good. "The baby is fine, but you need to rest so you two will be fine. Also, you need to take your anti-asthmatic depressant too, ok?" He says to me, and I nod my head sadly. Each time I recall having asthma, I always feel so sad that I want to cry my eyes out. What if I have an attack in my sleep and end up losing my life? What if I get an attack, and nobody is there to give me my inhaler? Is that why I will lose my life? What if I'm still carrying this baby then? Will I die with him or her in my womb? All those are driving me crazy and I just feel like giving up on life, but that's not something I can do. Not now, and not forever. I need to

Chapter 86 Alicia POV "Ren?" I manage to call him, and I finally clarify my curiosity as he turns to face me, and I know that I'm doomed. Since this place doesn't look like a room in our house, then that can only mean that he abducted me. "You're awake, sweetheart?" I watch as his blurry figure walks toward me, and all I can see is a monster. My vision finally becomes clear, and what welcomes me is the smirk on his lips as he stares at me. "Why, Ren? Why did you do this?" Tears stream down my cheeks as I stare at him, and all I feel is pain. "You told me not to back off, Alicia. You told me that there was no reason to, and I heed to your advice. I mean, you were right, after all," He shrugs as he sits beside me on the bed, while still having a smirk at the corner of his lip. "I thought you loved me, you bastard!" I yell at the top of my voice as I finally sit up on the bed, but he only scoffs. "Yes, I love you, Alicia. But what if I lose you? Whether I do

Chapter 88 Ricco POV "Hey, man. What the hell do you think you're doing, huh?" Mason, my best friend scolds me as he snatches the bottle of vodka from me, glaring hard at me. I have been in the bar for hours and have been drinking myself to a stupor in a bid to get rid of her thought from my head, but it doesn't seem like it's going to work. His image keeps popping up in my head, and the memories we had together are something I can never let go of. "It's hard for me, Mason. I really love her," Tears stream down my cheeks, and he scoffs. He has always warned me about Emily, but I never listened to him because I was so blinded by love. He told me that she was not someone trustworthy, and even though I knew that, I was hoping she would change one day, but who the hell am I to think that I could change her? I was just fooling around. "I know you love her, but you said that she told you she was in love with someone else. What do you want to do now? Kill yourself over someon

Chapter 90 Emily POVMy heart beats rapidly against my chest as I sit in the restaurant, waiting for Ren. He has summoned me yesterday to meet him here today. I don't know why he called me, but I just hope nothing went wrong later. The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention, and I hiss loudly when I check the screen and find out that it's Ricco on the line. He has been calling me nonstop since yesterday, and it's driving me nuts already. I've been ignoring his calls for fuck's sake, shouldn't he know by now that I don't want to talk to him? The sound of the footsteps drawing close behind me draws my attention, and I quickly raise my gaze to see Ren walking up to me. My heart freezes in my chest as I drool over him. This man is just everything perfect, and it'll be an achievement for me to have him to myself, which I'm hoping happens later. I never meant to fall in love with him, but he stole my heart and made broke the walls I have built around my heart. "Hey," H
