It felt like I had gotten what I had been wishing for, for years.When my mom was pregnant with Kasy then, I was always imaging and looking forward to the day we would all sit around the table and have a meal together, I was looking forward to the happy and family times we were going to have, but it was all caught short when we were told that she died after birth, I couldn’t deal it with.We all couldn’t deal with it, so we left back the memories and our dreams to have one big family with the new born baby behind in Paris and came here.

PrologueAlexander's POVI stood right at the door of the ward and stared at the cause of all I had been through in the last few hours. She was the reason for the condition I was in, she was the reason my marriage was going to be cancelled.I would be glad if it was just cancelled, but I was never going to get married again, my wife was gone, my Emily might or might never be back to me again, she was on the sick bed, she was in coma, and she might never open those beautiful eyes of hers again.Looking at that woman, all I could feel was rage, I wanted to move closer to her and strangle her to death, I wished I could just end her life.I wanted to ruin her just like she ruined my life, she destroyed everything I had, my life was meaningless without Emily.I could still remember how happy and glad I was when Emily broke the news about her pregnancy, she told me that we were going to have a baby, I was going to become a father, we were going to have a son, but all that, all those dreams
Chapter OneMy SaviorTwo Years Later Eliza's POVThe morning sun seeped into the room and it shown on my face, I cranked my eyes open one after the other and stared blankly at the ceiling of my one room apartment.I sighed after imagining the long day in front of me, it was the same routine, waking up and going to the coffee shop, being belittled and humiliated by the customers.I jumped down from the bed and rubbed my eyes, the last thing I would want was getting late to the coffee shop, my boss wouldn't take it lightly with me.I walked into the bathroom and washed my face in the sink, I leaned on it afterwards and stared into the mirror, and what comes to my mind whenever I do that was my sister.The last time I set my eyes on Emily was two years back when she came to visit me in the hospital, she was pregnant at that time and she also told me that she would be getting married soon, it was all like a dream to me, she disappeared after that.I didn't know what I did to her to dese
Chapter TwoI Met Him AgainEliza's POV"Let me go," I shouted as I tried to free myself from the man's grip, "Where are you taking me to, let me go," I shouted again, but they didn't say a word, they all pretended like they couldn't hear what I was saying to them.They were hefty and their shoulders were just like a wrestlers shoulder, they already had me sitting between them and they held my hand at both sides, not giving me the chance to move."What is going on?," I yelled, I had never seen any of them before, I also couldn't remember doing anything wrong to anyone, I couldn't tell why these people were after me and where they were taking me too, "Who the hell are you people," I shouted, "Let me go," I screamed but they still didn't answer me.I knew I would have to save myself, just shouting and doing nothing wouldn't help me at all, I would have to save myself, whichever way I can.I looked around in the car but I couldn't find anything, I couldn't even think of a way to help mys
Chapter ThreeNo ImprovementAlexander's POVI pulled over at the hospital garage and walked in, I had been visiting the hospital everyday in the last two years. I always visited with the hope that Emily would wake up someday, I kept on hoping that the day would come.I walked in and I was welcomed by the attendant who was in charge of taking care of Emily."Mr Alex," she smiled, "The doctor wants to see you, thank goodness you came at the right time," she informed.My heart would always skip a beat whenever I hear that the doctor wants to see me, it was like something bad was going to happen or I was going to get a bad news, I just didn't like to see the doctor."Thank you," I responded and headed for the doctor's office, I didn't like it, but I had no choice.I walked to the doctor's office and he welcomed me with a big smile, "Mr Alex, how are you today," he stood up to welcome me, that was the first time he would do that since I had been coming to check Emily up.It was confusing
Chapter FourLiving With The Devil Eliza's POVGetting back into my one apartment room, I fell on the bed with my gaze fixed on the ceiling, my whole life seemed worthless and hopeless.I thought Emily was going to be back to me and I would be able to refund this man before he gets to me, I wasn't trying to run away but he misunderstood me.All that was happening wouldn't be that way if Emily hadn't left me all alone in the hospital, I wouldn't have asked a strange man for help, a man I had never set my eyes upon.I would never have signed that contract with him, it was the contract which led to the situation I was in at the moment.I had no other choice than to do what he wants me to do, I would never be able to pay a hundred thousand dollars even if I worked for years.I was unlearned, I was close to being an illiterate, I was never going to work in a big company and earn a fat salary like people within my age range, I was different from then because I never went to school, I dropp
