Mia's POV.
My alarm rings,“Oh my gosh. It's morning already.”I say, I hated getting up early in the morning. But I had to because of my work. The boss was too harsh. He hated nonsense, and he scolded anyone who came to work late.I slowly get up, and I go to the washroom. I shower, dress up and head to the living room. I prepare breakfast as usual. I eat, and I head to Serah's room to check up on her. She was still in a deep sleep. She looked so peaceful. It has been long since I saw her sleeping this way.“Serah,” I tap her beautiful face to wake her up. She slowly opens her eyes to look at me.“Sister, you are already leaving?” She asks in a sleepy voice.“Yes, the breakfast is ready. As usual.” I say with a smile on my face.“Thanks sister. I will eat later. I still feel sleepy.” Serah says.“It's ok. Let me go now. And another thing, I might be late in the evening today.” I say to her.“Where will you go?” Serah asks.“I will tell you when I come back.” I say to her.“Ok sister. Stay safe today.” She says.“Same to you. When you need something, don't hesitate to call me.” I say to her as I leave her room. I was already running late.* * * * * * * * * *In the evening, after I am already done with my work, I take a cab to the hotel where Brandon was waiting for me. He had already texted me his location when I was still at work.After about ten minutes, I arrive at the hotel and the receptionist helps me get to Brandon's door. I open the door and I find Brandon waiting for me with a smile on his face.“Welcome my queen. I have been waiting for you for a very long-time now. I was even getting tired of waiting.” He says while standing from where he was sitting. He comes and gives me a tight hug. I rearise, I had missed him as well.“Brandon. That is enough now. Let me go.” I say in a soft voice.“Haven't you missed me, Mia?” He asks.“I have missed you. But it's better for us to stay away from each other.” I say.“But I can't do that. I love you so much. I think about you all the time, Mia. So please, It's enough now. I can't stay away from you a minute longer.” Brandon says.“But Brandon.” I try to say and he shuts me up.“Please. Don't say anything, Mia. I just want to feel you close to me.” He says as he tries to kiss me.His touch felt like I was in another place. For a moment, I completely forget about myself and I allow his lips to meet mine. I just wanted him to continue. But my mind keeps telling me it was wrong.“Brandon. Please. This is not right.” I try to say to him.“I just don't care Mia. Please let us enjoy this moment. Darling, please.” Brandon says as he continues to kiss me.I just let Brandon do whatever he wanted to do with me. We make love and it was so sweet. I felt like I was in another world and for a moment, I forgot all my sorrows and worries. In short, Brandon makes me feel like an entirely different person. I am so in love with him, even though it felt entirely wrong.“Baby. That was wonderful. Thank you for allowing me to see you.” Brandon says after we are done.“That was amazing as well. I had missed you so much baby.” I say to him. There was no point in pretending anymore.“So, when I am, I seeing you again?” He asks.“I don't know baby. We will arrange that. And by the way, how are your divorce proceedings going?” I ask.“Soon we will be officially separated baby. And our relationship will not be in the dark anymore.” He says.“I also want that babe. Meeting in secret is not good at all. I don't like it.” I say.“I agree darling. But there is nothing we can do at the moment. But soon, we will be free, and I will be allowed to meet you in public.” He says.“So, baby. Its getting late. Can I go now?” I say to him as I kiss his lips. Serah was waiting for me and I needed to check on her. I truly hope she has not done anything crazy while I was out of the house.“Yes, darling. I also need to go home now.” He says as he returns the kiss.I get up from the bed and take a quick shower. I later wear my clothes and I leave the hotel.Serah's POV.I spend my day just watching the television. I needed to distract myself somehow. I admit that it is really hard, but I have no other choice but to continue with my life. I delete all the pictures of Brian I had in my phone. All the messages and phone calls. I just needed to forget about him for good. He had no place in my life and heart anymore. It was time to let him go for good. Time travels, and in no time it was evening already. I remember Mia informing me that she might come late today. I wonder where she was going, but I am going to pressure her until she tells me the truth when she comes back. I decide to cook while waiting for her to come back home. I admit, it has been weeks now since I last cooked. Every single day, it was Mia who made food for the two of us. But today, she will rest, as she will find food ready. My sister has supported me so much, so It's time I start supporting her too.“I will cook Mia's favorite.” I say to myself as I light up the gas. M
Serah's POV.In the morning, I get myself ready, and I start heading to the hospital.“Take care of yourself, Serah." Mia says to me before leaving for work."I will, sister. I will call you when I am done with the tests.” I say to her. She looked so worried. It's obvious she thinks I will not manage alone, or I will do something bad to myself. But I am sure I will manage. I am determined to keep myself and my unborn baby safe. So I will never harm myself again.I wait for the cab and about five minutes and it arrives. I inform the driver where I was going, and he starts driving towards the hospital. I felt so nervous and afraid. My hands start to sweat up, but I give myself courage that things will turn out fine. The taxi driver carefully drives me to the hospital and when we arrive I pay him his money and I enter the hospital. In the maternity area, there were so many pregnant women and I feel like I am not alone in this tough journey.I sit down, and I wait for the doctor to cal
Serah's POV.I walk for like ten minutes and still, there was no sign of any car. I was beginning to feel dizzy. “It's better if I sit now before I pass out. I feel so hungry, I hope a miracle will happen so that I can reach home soon.” I say while looking around.The road was clear, there was nowhere to sit. I wish Mia was here. This would have never happened to me. She would have found a way for us to get home. "Maybe I should call her.” I say as I take out my phone. “But perhaps she is busy. It is better not to make her worried about me.” I say as I place back my phone into my handbag. I am a big girl and I can take care of myself. Mia was busy, and I just wanted to disturb her for no reason. I will find a way to get myself home. I just decide to walk home. I know it's a bit far, but I will eventually get there. I just hope i will not faint from the dizziness I was feeling.* * * * * * * * * * After five minutes of walking, I hear a car from behind me. I turn to check and I se
Serah's POV.“How was your check-up?” Mia asks me immediately she walks home.“It went fine, sister. Everything is fine with the baby. Here are his first pictures." I say as I hand the ultrasound pictures to her.“Wow, he looks so cute. I even want to hold him already.” She says while looking at the picture.“He will be here soon. Don't worry sister." I say to her.“By the way. Why didn't you call me?, I heard there were drivers strike today. So how did you get home?” Mia asks.“Raphael helped me. He is the one who took me home with his car.” I say.“Raphael?, do you mean the same guy who saved you that day?” She asks.“Yes. He is the one.” I say.“Well, I am glad he found you. Maybe he is your guardian angel. I mean, he is the one who rescues you every time you are in trouble.” She says.“It was just another coincidence sister. But I am grateful that he saved me yet again.” I say“Maybe he is just following you around, Serah. What if he is in love with you?” Mia suggests.“Mia. No o
Serah's POV.I am woken up by a sharp pain on my waist. I immediately get up and I sit. The pain was sharp and unbearable. It's like I was having labor pains.“No, not this soon. I have one week left” I say in confusion. The pain goes away for about five minutes before coming back again. I get off the bed because I just could not stay there anymore. I take my phone to call Mia. But she was not responding. I decide to call her again, but it was the same. She was not answering. I panic. I wonder why she was not taking my calls when I needed her. “What do I do now.” The pain was too much, and I just hope that my water will not break.“Maybe I should call Raphael. He might help me.” I say as I dial his number. He picks up immediately.Raphael — Serah, tell me. Is there anything wrong?Me — I think the baby is coming and Mia is not taking my calls, please help me.Raphael — just hold on. I am coming to pick you up and take you to the hospital. I will be there in a few minutes.He says,
Mia's POV.“So many missed calls from Serah. What is going on?” I say as my heart ponds so hard in my chest.I have had a busy day and I did not get time to check my phone. I wonder how she was doing. She must have wondered a lot why I did not take her calls.I dial her number and I call her. But she does not take my call. So I decide to call her again. I really hoped she would answer. I was worried about her. “Hello, Mia?” A male voice says. Me — who is this? And what are you doing with my sister's phone. Where is Serah?I ask in confusion. My heart was racing, had inside my chest. Raphael — it's me, Raphael.Me — Raphael? Where is Serah. Why do you have her phone?Raphael — we are in the hospital. Your sister is undergoing a surgery right now. She tried to call you severally, but you were not responding. That is why she decided to call me. I was the one who took her to the hospital.Me — which hospital? I was so busy today that is why I could not pick her calls. But I am on my wa
Raphael's POV.I am glad that Serah had a safe delivery. That was what I wanted to hear that her and the baby were safe.Serah and I have become so close. I helped her during her entire pregnancy period. She always called me when she needed something. I was always there for her.My feelings for her started way back, but I decided to keep it a secret just to save our friendship. She already told me what happened between her and Brian and how he denied the pregnancy. I must admit that Brian is a heartless man. It just breaks my heart to know that Serah wanted to kill herself because of him. He never deserved Serah's love. That is why I decided to support her. I never wanted her to feel like she was aloneFrom the first day I met Serah. My life changed completely. I remember meeting her for the first time on the streets. She looked like she was undergoing a lot of stress and I just wanted to cheer her up, but she ended up getting angry with me. The second time, I met her on the road and
Mia's POV.Raphael drops me at home and I thank him. I am glad that Serah has someone like him in her life because he is so caring. I know that my sister will be happy with him once their relationship starts.I was happy that Serah's delivery went well. Finally, our baby boy was here. He was healthy and strong just like we have been praying for.I open the house and I enter. I was so tired today and I just wanted to rest. I straight go into the kitchen and I prepare my meal. I was starving, and I hurriedly eat my food before retiring to bed. I take my phone and I call Serah. I just wanted to know how she was doing. I just hope that her and the baby are fine.Serah - sister.Me — are you ok, Serah. And how is the baby.Serah - I am fine, sister. The baby is sleeping right now.Me — that is nice to hear. I will come see you tomorrow morning.Serah - ok sister. I will be waiting for you. I hope they will discharge me soon. I just want to be home already.Me — you will be out of there s
