LOGINMiriam’s POV“You can’t go see her. It’s not safe!” Sara continued nagging me and I sighed.“Who said anything about going to see her?”“Then where are you going this early in the morning?” She crossed her hands across her chest.“I’m going to see my husband. I haven’t been there in a while.”“Hmm. Okay so explain to me why you were talking to Janet?”“How did you even hear that? I thought you were asleep.”“When you came down last night to tuck me in, I woke up and I couldn’t sleep back again. I overheard your conversation.”I raised my eyebrow questioningly. “You were eavesdropping?”“I didn’t mean to. I’m doing all of this for you. Janet is not someone you should trust. She is crazy!” her voice was going up now.“Sara, you need to calm down. I’m not doing anything that would implicate me. Besides, shouldn’t you be getting ready for work?”“I am but I need to make sure that you eat some breakfast and take your vitamins.” She placed a plate of eggs in front of me.“I’m still not sure
Miriam’s POVI lay in bed, awake, that night staring at the ceiling. My mind was reeling with a billion different emotions. In front of Elizabeth and Serena, I had been able to maintain my cool. I stood my ground and told them that the decision of what I decide to do with my pregnancy was completely up to me. They had no right coming into my home and telling me what to do.On the inside, however, I was really conflicted. What if having this child happened to be a very good thing? Would I regret getting an abortion? Those were just a few of the questions that went through my mind.After a while, I was sure that I would not be able to sleep at all tonight, so I dragged myself out of bed and went down the stairs to grab a glass of water. Sara spent the night and she was passed out on the couch in front of the TV.“I can’t believe this is where you ended up sleeping,” I muttered to myself as I turned off the TV and covered her with a blanket.When I was done downstairs, I went back up to
Miriam’s POVThe next few days were quite uneventful. No one had heard anything from Anita or Trevor. I had been way too occupied with the recent news. Sara, on the other hand, was getting excited about the idea of the baby.“Don’t get ahead of yourself. I haven’t even decided whether I’m keeping it or not.”“I know but the chances of you keeping it are definitely higher.”“Just try to manage your expectations.”“Please, don’t deny me the chance to be a godmother,” she pleaded and I rolled my eyes.I knew she was only trying to make me feel lighter about the entire situation, but I still have to be realistic. Once I decided to have a baby, there was no going back.“Do you even know anything about taking care of kids?” I asked her with a smile. “You’re only concerned with the fun parts. What about when I have to wake up in the middle of the night to the baby’s loud cries?”“Don’t worry. Your baby will be a gentle one. I just know it.”“You can’t know stuff like that. Oh my God.” I thre
Miriam’s POVHer question was one that I only heard in movies or read in books. I had never for once thought that someone would ask me that question. I had always been careful when it came to unwanted pregnancies. That was until I became married and consummated my marriage.When was the last time I had my period?“Miriam?” Her voice startled me back to reality. “Are you there?”“Yes, I am. I guess I was just thrown off guard a bit by your question.”“Okay. So, What's the response? Please, tell me it’s not what I’m thinking.”“I honestly don’t know. I guess it’s been a while. You don’t think that I might be…” I paused, unable to actually say the word out loud.“I don’t know as well but we can find out,” she said. “You’re still at the hospital right? Maybe you can run some tests.”“I can’t be pregnant. At least not right now…” I blurted out.Everything was a complete mess right now. How was I supposed to add being pregnant to all of my problems right now? It was crazy!“Let’s just know
Miriam’s POVAnita was with Trevor. Unfortunately, Rosodov had been unable to save her from him. The news hit us all pretty hard.“How did you leave unscathed?” I asked as I watched the nurse clean up his wounds.“That’s not what we’re supposed to be talking about right now. Do you know how mad I am at you all? You put your life in danger!”“We were only doing what we thought was best. Anita was very unhappy where she was. My conscience wouldn’t allow me to leave her there as my son’s prisoner.”“And do you think she’s in a much better place now? Your actions have landed her in an even worse situation.”“Don’t say that, please.” I was trying my best not to imagine the worst.“Well, it’s the truth. If Lazar was here, he will tell you the same thing.”I shook my head slowly. I didn’t want to believe that we had just worsened Anita’s case. God knows that our intention had been solely to help her but somehow, we had ended up leading her right into a trap.“I need some time alone.” I stood
Janet’s POVWilliam didn’t want me to come with him but I didn’t give him much of a choice. I needed to be there in case Jero did any funny business. As worried as I was about him making any more moves, I still wanted to be aware of whatever he had to say to my husband.“How do you even know about this job?”“I knew him through a friend,” I replied vaguely.“What friend? You don’t tell me things anymore.” He grunted and I ignored him. “I’m serious. You just leave the house as you please. The other day you came back with so much money and refused to tell me how you got it.”“Weren’t you the one that said we didn’t have to tell each other everything?”“This wasn’t what I meant and you know it. Things like this are very important. I should be aware of…”“We’re here!” I announced, interrupting him.I paid the cab driver and we came down from the vehicle. He looked like he wanted to keep arguing but I ignored him. Instead, I led us inside the building where the receptionist told us to go r
Janet’s POVAll I felt was anger brewing in my chest. It sat like a stone heavy and hot in my chest while being impossible to ignore.I was both furious and confused and I could only blame one person for that.Miriam.The thought of her made my body itch uncomfortably.How did she get into La Amore
Miriam's POV I was frozen in place I could not move, nor could I will myself to move.My heart sank to my stomach as I stared at the figure standing a few feet away from me.“Do you know him?” Clara asked, snapping me out of my daze.I had been so engrossed at the fact that my father was here, if
Lazar’s POVI arrived home earlier than usual, something I almost never do. Normally, I would bury myself in work until the night swallows the day, but today was different. I had spent all weekend with Miriam and I could see she was still adjusting to the new apartment. I wanted to do something
Lazar's POV My heart was pounding not from excitement but from profound anger. I watched as his eye grew wider than a saucer with each passing second. From the way he was trembling, he knew what was coming for him.I slowly pulled out a chair opposite the desk. The room was so quiet the only so
