Chapter Fifty-Eight: Filled with Anger Hawkins' POVAfter coming back from work, I became an irritated mess. If I was already deemed as a monster before, I'm sure everyone at work now sees me as a demon. One small mistake from anyone and I'm already screaming at them to do a better job. With my mood showing on my face, everyone's walking on eggshells, afraid to accidentally poke the monster in me. I am not sure what irritated me most, what Miracle did to me or what I almost did to her in my drunken state. Fūck, if only I could beat myself, I would have done it for doing that to her. Seeing her smiling and laughing at my sister made me want to drown myself with alcohol because I foolishly missed it. I missed her smile, laughter directed at me. I missed her even though I shouldn't anymore and it angers me so. I became ruthless to her and treated her like a maid in order to drive her out, but at the same time, the thought of Miracle leaving me scares me. I shouldn't feel this way whe
Chapter Fifty-Nine: Wall Between UsMiracle's POV My eyes fluttered open and I moaned softly when I felt my head aching, like it was being cracked open. My mind was blank at first and everything came back to me. I blinked slowly and turned my head around, heart beating faster in panic when I realized I was in a hospital. My hands instantly flew to my stomach, tears gathering in my eyes. "Oh God, no." I whimpered, hugging my stomach protectively. "Please no."The door opened and Caroline entered. She rushed to me when she saw me awake and worry filled her face when she saw me crying. "Miracle! What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?""B-Baby, what happened to my baby?" I sobbed, not removing my hands around my stomach and looking desperately at my friend. Caroline sighed in relief and smiled at me, reaching out to rub my shoulder. "Your baby is fine, Mira, but I'm afraid you are the one who isn't." She walked to the small table, poured a glass of water and handed it to me. "The doct
Chapter Sixty: Goodbye and HelloMiracle's POVIt would be unreasonable and unfair for me to just disappear from school without telling my students. I've only been with them for almost two months, but I believe we have formed a bond between us or at least from my part. They might forget me after a week or so, but I will never forget them, like I held my former students in my heart. My heart feels heavy but I knew I had to do it. The next day, I arrived at school, not to teach, but to say my goodbye. Caroline's office was the first I visited and as expected, she was incredibly sad with the news. "You brought colors to this school, and you were our miracle, Mira. But I understand that your health and your baby's are your priority. I'm not accepting this, you can always come back after you give birth. I mean, you technically own this school." Caroline said, putting my resignation in one of her drawers and pulling me in a hug. "I will try to visit you often, hmm?"I nodded in response b
Chapter Sixty-One: Cinderella For a Day Miracle's POV"We'll attend a party later at lunch." Hawk informed me when he saw me in the kitchen that morning. "It's my aunt's birthday and she wants to meet you so don't think for a second that I want to be with you." He added coldly and placed a black card on the counter. "Buy whatever or do anything to look decent. I doubt you have a gown in your closet."I swallowed thickly, glancing from the card and back to him. "Can I buy some things for the baby?" I asked in hesitation and waited for his answer. "Do whatever you want. Joy will take you to the place later." He answered, not bothering to look at me and left without saying goodbye. I sighed softly, taking the card and putting it in my pocket. My eyes shifted to Teddy who was looking at me with his puppy eyes. "Okay, I'll buy you a new toy as well." I smiled at him, touching his head affectionately and he barked in delight, his tail wagging happily. I changed into a simple dress and
Chapter Sixty-Two: Drowning in JealousyHawkins' POVI wasn't in the mood to attend any party, but I couldn't turn down the invitation of Aunt Blythe, my father's older sister. My family was overly excited about having a new addition to the family and told my relatives about it, now they are bombarding my phone with congratulatory messages and expressing their desire to meet Miracle. Some of them are upset with me because they didn't even know I got married. I didn't want to go anywhere with Miracle, but I guess I have no other choice. Knowing my relatives, they will show up on my doorstep to meet Miracle if I still refuse and I don't want them in my house. When Miracle told me she would buy some things for our baby, I almost joined her. Almost. But then I chose to leave and go to work instead. Normal companies don't work on weekends, but technology companies are different. Sometimes, we even need to work 24/7 when we're working on a hard project. As a boss, you'd think I will leave
Chapter Sixty-Three: The Biggest BetrayalHawkins' POV"Why are we leaving, Hawk? I haven't properly greeted your relatives!" Miracle protested as I dragged her out of the place. "Just do what I say!" I snapped at her, my hold around her wrist tightening. I am seeing nothing but red and I have to applaud myself for not lashing out on Landon when he provoked me. I guess I can still think clearly even when I want nothing but to bash his face until the stupid smirk disappears from his face and gouges out his eyes. Fūck, I can still see his face while I was dragging Miracle out. The scumbag was grinning from ear to ear and I'm sure he thinks he's the winner for successfully provoking me but I don't care. I'd rather have him think he won than see him approach Miracle again. I heard Miracle whimpering but I continued dragging her until we reached my far and I made her sit inside first, careful not to hurt her because she's still pregnant with my child. When I sat beside her, I saw her m
Chapter Sixty-Four: Running Away with His Child Miracle's POVWhen Mark cheated on me, I realized that my ego was more hurt than my heart. Maybe because I've already seen it coming, and maybe because my love slowly faded. It was easy for me to forget about him and move on. But when I saw Hawk kissing another woman before my eyes, with me under the same roof as him, my heart broke into a million pieces. My heart shattered along with the sauce plate where the cake I devoured was. It felt like I was stabbed repeatedly and I couldn't breathe. My chest constricted and tears poured from my eyes. "Oops, so the rumor is true." The woman nonchalantly said, as if she didn't kiss a rumored married man in his house where his wife could be. Shameless is what I can describe her. She doesn't even look apologetic. If anything, she looked smug and proud of what she did. "I'm leaving, boss. See you tomorrow." The shameless woman said, sending me a malicious look before provoking me even further wh
Chapter Sixty-Five: Nothing Without HerHawkins' POVI knew I acted like a jerk when I didn't deny and clear the situation to Miracle, but I saw no reason to. And maybe part of me wanted to see her hurt which I regretted that night. I thought Miracle would avoid me again but she surprised me when she prepared my favorite breakfast, served me and even picked my clothes. My stupid ego thought she was jealous and threatened by Sarah, and she wanted to mark her territory and convince me she's still better, and that she's still my wife. But when she walked me outside and even told me she loved me with a genuine yet sad smile on her face, I knew something wasn't right. I decided to ignore it, however, because I had an important meeting today, but Miracle didn't leave my mind the whole time. I couldn't sit still and I kept pacing back and forth in my office after the meeting. My phone suddenly rang and Jim's name registered on my screen. My heart pounded in my chest as I snatched it from
Chapter Sixty-Eight: His Enemy is My FriendMiracle's POVLife without Hawk had been lonely but somehow, I also felt a sense of peace. It was then that I realized that I needed this. I needed some time for myself, to be alone. Being lonely is nothing new to me. Although I grew up with a family, I lost my mother at a young age. She's alive, I can see her, but she became a living statue. My father was never there and he was more involved with his second family. I had friends, I had Mark, but it still felt lonely, until I met... Hawk. He made me feel loved, cared for, for once. With him, it felt like I can be myself, like I can be someone. He didn't make me feel alone. He supported me, he was there for me. And it felt nice. When I left, I made sure that I wouldn't be found. It was hard because I had to transfer from one vehicle to another to avoid CCTV from capturing my location. I also had to change my clothes a few times. It took a lot of effort to make sure they wouldn't be able to
Chapter Sixty-Seven: In the Arms of My EnemyHawkins' POVThree months full of agony, regret and longing has passed and yet, not a glimpse of Miracle anywhere no matter how much money I spend, and effort I put into. Three months of longing to see her again and ask for forgiveness so we can start our story again. Three months of sleepless nights without having her by my side. Three months of endless thoughts and worries about how she's doing. Three months and I finally did what my mother said and patiently waited even though the wait was killing me.I finally realized that she wanted to be alone. To be far from me because I had hurt her so much. I finally realized that searching for her and dragging her back when she wanted to escape from me will only result in losing her completely, and I didn't want that. It was hard, but I learned to live life normally without her by my side. The only thing that makes me feel okay is the fact that I know Miracle is safe out there. Her and my child.
Chapter Sixty-Six: The Truth Within Hawkins' POVThree days. Three freaking days. It's been three days since Miracle left and there was no trace or sign of her anywhere. It was like the world conspired to hide her from her. The bus she transferred to was found, but she transferred a lot of times to escape the cameras. She intentionally did it, and it only showed how much she wanted to get away from me. She never turned her phone on again so they couldn't trace the number, and when I called it again, her number was no longer available. I reached out for the highest and most powerful people I know that can help me, but in the end, they still couldn't find her. She was last seen riding a taxi, and when they interrogated the driver, it was just my luck that he had no record of where he took her. I got desperate as time went by, wondering what or how they were doing. It's not that I don't trust her to take care of herself and our child, but the world we live in is cruel. Hah. How ironi
