VIENNA'S P.O.V. I paid for a visit from Vienna Cosmetics, and continuously, we were getting good reviews from our customers. As the CEO, I'm very proud of what I have right now. Starting from the dedicated people, and the flow of sales of every product we released. It was all so smooth, that even myself didn't understand where all these things came from, yet all I could say was those efforts we have exerted paid off. I just hope these things would continue, and even if there were times that there would be struggles, I just hope that I could handle them well.I drove back home since I still have one more responsible left at the mansion, and that is taking care of my baby boy, Lucas. Of course, I couldn't forget him as my top priority. When I entered the mansion, the maid came running to me in a panic which made me instantly confused about her actions. "What's wrong?" I instantly asked as soon as she came to me. "Miss Vienna, Sir William was arrested!" She exclaimed while looking at
TESSA'S P.O.V.My eyes were swollen... My heart was breaking...My daughter is gone. She was the only reason why I could call myself a mother. The light in my dark world. What would I do now? I called William from prison even though my parents forbid me to do it. They also tried to bring me out of the morgue, but I don't want to. I wanted to stay beside my daughter even though I knew that there was no sign of her coming back to me. The doctors told me to leave the place since it won't be good for my health to stay in the room. So, I had no other choice but to leave and stay outside while crying. After a few moments, a police mobile parked in front of the entrance of the hospital. A cop went out from it, followed by William who was still hand-cuffed. They went inside the hospital, and while they were walking, my parents instantly looked at me in disbelief because they knew that I was the one who called and told William about our daughter's death. William's eyes were swollen, and he
VIENNA'S P.O.V. William took his last breath, and finally closed his eyes. I touched his face and tried to wake him up. I tap him and started shaking him even though I knew that he already gave me his last words. There was no sign of him coming back to us now. I knew it was all too late for me to say those forgiving words, but at least I told him everything he needed to know. It was very hurting. My wrath against him instantly faded away after I felt how sincere he was regarding his apology. "He loved you so much..."I turned to Tessa after she said those words. "Didn't you realize what you did?" I exclaimed after that while in tears. Tessa smiled bitterly. "I knew from the very start that I had no match of you, Vanessa. Even before that time I knew you were pregnant with William's child," She continued. "William couldn't get you out of his head. I knew that he loved you so much, but it was my love for him that kept me blinded about that. I struggled with fate, that there might
“Guards, take this woman away from my mansion!” Tessa shouted angrily while pointing her finger toward me.As soon as the guards heard what she said, they all ran and started grabbing my wrists. But, my determination is enough for me to fight back. I don’t care if I looked pathetic in this state. But I will do everything to fight for the right of this little life inside my womb.Then the guard beside me whispered while they are all dragging me away from the main entrance, “Don’t make this hard for us.”I harshly removed their hands from me and shouted with all my might, “I am not leaving this place until I talk to William!”I ran as fast as I could to reach the mansion’s main entrance. I don’t care if Tessa is still there or what. I want to talk to William and tell him about the news and whether this will be a good or a bad one for him.When I reached the entrance, there I saw William going down the stairs. He’s wearing his business suit and surely is ready for a busy day ahead. Tessa
As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a ceiling and walls painted white all around. There were curtains and I could also hear a continuous beating sound of a machine beside me.“Where am I?” I whispered.I tried to sit and lean against the bed. I got a little dizzy and touched my head. Then, I noticed that a wired thing is attached to my hand.I was all in wonder when suddenly the door went open. Then, I saw a woman wearing a white uniform come in holding a folder and smiling at me.“Finally, you’re awake,” She said with a gentle voice.“Why I’m here?” I asked while still having confusion in me.“They told us you fainted and…” She was still telling me what happened when I suddenly got flashbacks in my head.My eyes got widened when I suddenly remembered one important thing to ask. “How about the baby?”“Don’t worry. The baby is fine. You just have to be careful next time and don’t involve yourself with too much stress. That might affect the baby.” She replied.I sighed as soon as I heard
After requesting discharge, I realized that William already left me here at the hospital. He didn’t even wait for me to get discharged.“But, based on the doctor’s records, you still need to rest,” The nurse insisted.“I’ve rested enough. I need to go,” I coldly replied.The nurse gave me a paper to sign for discharge. After a few minutes of waiting, my request was finally granted.I asked for the hospital bill but she told me that all of them were already paid. So, William paid them all. For sure, he did it.I went out of the hospital trying my best to be strong in this struggle that I have. There were only two people who knew my condition. The first person who knew this already abandoned me. And, I didn’t expect the other one either.I was about to ride a cab when a black van blocked my way.“Hey! Be careful driving, you almost hit me!” I shouted while harshly tapping the side door of it.Suddenly, the window slowly went open. Then, I didn’t expect that I will see her face again thi
-AFTER 7 MONTHS- I decided to resign from work after what happened to me and William. I can’t stay in that place anymore especially the time when I knew that I was pregnant. People might get have ideas about us since they didn’t know anything about my personal life. I just don’t want to be the hot topic of the company. I also want to forget about William. Even though I knew from the very start that I was just his other woman, I seriously fell in love with him. I clung to his promises of giving me the life I once dreamt about. But, what could a mistress expect? I fell for those promises that made me realize that I would never have those, especially from him.After that night, I finally decided to forget about him, and all of his memories in my head. But, one thing I forgot about was, no matter how I try to do it. I have his child in me that will always remind me of all the things we did.It’s been seven months since that day, and each month passed by so fast. My tummy is getting bigge
I opened my eyes, and here I go again. I could see the same view of the place I always visit. I could hear the sound of the machine beside me, helping me to know that I still have heartbeats. I looked around a bit and saw that Mama Lynette was sitting next to me. Her head was leaning beside my bed. She was sleeping.I tried to remember the reason for my being hospitalized again. Then, everything suddenly flashed back into my mind.“I saved the boy…” I said to myself.Because of that, Mama Lynette opened her eyes and looked at me. I woke her up. She immediately held my hand. “You’re awake!” She exclaimed with all happiness.I smiled and looked at her. Then, she immediately went out to call the doctor. After a few seconds, the doctor came in with a nurse beside him. They were carrying a folder in their hands. Then they entered and smiled at me. The doctor immediately used his stethoscope to check my condition, then he noted something in his folder.“You’re getting better now, Miss Loren
