Chapter Seventy-Seven: His Secret is RevealedMiracle's POV"Oh, what's wrong, Miracle?" I heard Esme asking me because I was so shocked that I probably remained as still as a mannequin, just staring at a teenager Hawk wearing a rather familiar uniform.A memory suddenly came to mind. It was back when I was still teaching at my former school. It was the worst part of my life and I remember how Norman, his wife and Blair ganged up on me until I left feeling terribly angry and sad. I pretended I was okay in front of my students, but I looked for a hidden place and broke down at the back of a building that isn't frequently used. It felt like I would lose my mind and I was afraid of crying in front of my students, so I decided to let it out. I thought I was alone, until a voice reached my ears and I saw a student handing out his handkerchief to me. I remember him just sitting beside me and letting me cry, and he managed to convince me to share my problems with him.I forgot his face then
Chapter Seventy-Six: A Familiar FaceMiracle's POV When Hawk and I reconciled, it was like we were in the honeymoon phase all over again. I'm ashamed to admit that we made love in almost every corner in the new house he impulsively bought for me and my mother.I was deeply touched that he's willing to go through such lengths just to prove he was sincere, but he didn't have to do that. And now we have another house because Hawk refused to sell it, saying I can stay there if I was mad at him. Once I say goodbye to the people I've gotten close to, I will move back to his house anyway. It was our house to begin with, but the stubborn man just won't listen.Speaking of leaving, I told Hawk to give me enough time and he assured me that there was no need to rush. I truly fell in love with the town, but Hawk is right. My life, our child's life is with him and not in this place. I can't be selfish and deprive my child the best life they could ever have just because I'd rather choose my peace
Chapter Seventy-Five: ReconciliationHawkins' POV"Because I... Huh?" I was lost for words and I continued looking at Miracle as if she had just spoken a foreign language I couldn't understand. "You weren't angry?""I mean I was of course. I thought you were kissing that woman so I got angry at you, but when you told me it wasn't as I thought it was, I had nothing to be angry about, Hawk." She sniffed and I pulled her in my arms. "Your anger was justified because of what I did. I understood why you acted the way you did. I wasn't angry because of that. I just... I don't feel like we should be together after what I did. I feel I don't deserve you. You helped me and yet I fooled you. You were good to me, but I approached you with a hidden agenda. I can't stop thinking about what could have happened to you if they succeeded."I sighed deeply and rubbed her back to calm her down. "But nothing happened, Miracle. You were also a victim like me, and if there is someone we should blame, it's
Chapter Seventy-Four: ForgivenessMiracle's POVOne month. One month quickly passed and I am now four months pregnant. There is now a noticeable bump in my stomach and it became my favorite habit every day to rub it and talk to the growing child inside of me. I have a regular checkup with the local doctor in town and she told me we are both healthy, and that is all that matters to me. It was strange having Hawk around this time, but it warmed my heart to see him so happy. He asked me what the gender was, but I told him straight that I didn't want to know. It has also been a month since Hawk forced his way back into my life again. At first I thought he wasn't being serious about staying here. After all, his company, his family and his life is in the city. But days, weeks and a month passed and he's still here. That man is unbelievable. A few days after he followed me, he bought the land next to the house I was in and built a house a little larger than mine. He will walk with me to t
Chapter Seventy-Three: Chivalry Isn't DeadMiracle's POV"Get in the car, Miracle Pride." Hawkins said as he followed me in his car when I refused to get in.I was really surprised to see him outside the house I was staying at, and I figured he followed us last night because there is no way Landon told him where I am. I admit that I was happy seeing him, but I am also annoyed he did not respect my wishes. "No, thank you. The school is just around the corner and it's good exercise to walk around." I replied without looking at him and proceeded to walk the familiar to the school. Like usual, I stopped by the bakery and the kind old couple greeted me. I didn't have to tell them what I wanted and they were already preparing it. "For the kids?" Hawk, who appeared beside me, guessed and I raised an eyebrow at him in question. "Just a wild guess." He shrugged and knocked on the glass where the breads are displayed. "Make them double, please."I opened my mouth to protest but he was alread
Chapter Seventy-Two: I Will Follow You AroundHawkins' POVI just couldn't let Miracle go. Not like that. Not again. So I did what I had to even if I turned out to be the bad guy, and followed her when Landon, that bastard, took her back to where she came from. I was surprised how far it was. We drove for at least eight hours until they reached a small and unknown town. I had a hard time following them because not many cars drive this way. I had to wait and put a safe distance between our cars. I almost lost them when I purposely fell back, but thankfully found them again and from afar, I saw how Landon dropped her off in front of a small house. Can it even be called a house when my bathroom is bigger than it?I turned off my car, hid behind a wall so I could see them. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but I saw them hugging and every part of me froze. I knew it was nothing, but knowing who that man is made me feel uneasy. They said goodbye and I hid behind my car when L
Chapter Seventy-One: Walls CrumblingMiracle's POVI went with Hawk's family instead of riding with him, and I kind of had a feeling they knew I wouldn't do it anyway. According to what they said earlier, I think they know what happened between Hawk and I. They knew what he did, and the way they talk to me proves that they are not angry at me or anything for leaving. Somehow, I was relieved at that. I didn't want them to hate me or anything. I thought they would side with Hawk, but it looks like they are on my side. That warms my heart. The couple was in another car, being driven by their driver, while I was with Zara in another car. She hasn't let go of my hand since we left the venue and I just let her cling to me like a lost puppy. "Teddy misses you. Whenever I take him from Hawk's house, I often see him in the kitchen with a sad look on his face." She told me and I felt sad hearing it. Teddy has become close to my heart because he's just so sweet and hearing how he's sad over m
Chapter Seventy: Double TroubleHawkins' POV"What do you think you're doing?" I asked Miracle through gritted teeth. I was drowning with jealousy. I am trying hard not to explode and ruin Landon's grandpa's birthday, but my patience is running out. I want nothing but to remove his arm around my wife's waist, twist them until I hear his bone breaking, punch his face and tell him not to touch her ever again. After I ruin the bastard's face, I will drag Miracle away from here, ask her why she's doing this, but in the end, I will understand the reason because the last time we met, I fūcked up. Fūck. I missed her so much. My heart almost exploded earlier and it's taken everything in me not to pull her in my arms and tell her how much I've missed her. I wanted so badly to ask how she was, where she was, and if she's doing fine, but as I can see, Miracle looks healthy, and she's still the most beautiful woman in my eyes. I know she's hiding her baby bump behind that dress, but I can still
Chapter Sixty-Nine: PaybackMiracle's POVWhen I first saw Landon, my impression of him was that he's a typical rich arrogant man. Not to mention that he and Hawk are obviously not on good terms. But that changed the more I got to know the man. I didn't know that the days after I saw him in Marina Town would start to change because of him. After our introduction, Landon didn't pry about my relationship with Hawk like I thought he would. Instead, he asked what I was doing here. I told him that I teach grade school students and I've come to know that he's an architect. "Won't they look for you?" I asked him, looking back to the people he's with. He wanted to see the school and asked me to show him the way."Nah, don't mind them. They can find something else to do. It's been years since I was last here so I want to walk around." Landon replied nonchalantly while looking around. "Do you ever wonder why this small town remains the same when the other town is thriving?""I heard no one w
