Seeing his call sent shivers down my spine and I was just lost even while looking at my phone ring."He's still your boss" I thoughtI picked it up with shaky hands"Maria, John will be coming to the office to get me the Franco files because I won't be coming around at least for the next one month" he saidAnd the line went off."He won't be coming to work, why?" I kept wondering, was he also trying to avoid me.John came later in the day and I gave him the Franco files as Javier had requested.

Maria's POVI woke up with a bad headache, and when I opened my eyes I realized I was in a hospital. Then I remembered the call I received before everything went blank.And then the tears started flowing all over again."I need to be strong" I told myself .I hoped my mum and dad will forgive me, that kept calling me to come visit at least once. I recalled my mum's pleas"Baby try and come home, your and I father have been worried sick about you" she said.I had failed too by getting pregnant without being married, that was against our faith. I couldn't control the tears, so I let it flow.I kept wondering who brought me here though, could it be Javier.I kept carrying until I slept off again.When I woke up I saw Javier seated beside me, he came closer the moment he realized I was awake. He looked like he'd been worried. I didn't want to deceive myself any further, so I kicked the tho

Maria's POVI woke up early the next morning and I still felt pains on my body and I had to accept my fate. The worst part of it was that I loved Javier and I kept wondering why it was so difficult to feel something for me."Why should my first attempt at love be this bad?" I thought.I was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Veronica. She came into the room with a big smile and arms so open. She was just like my mom, so cheerful and welcoming."I missed my mum, I missed my parents" I thought as a tear drop fell from my eyes.   I came back to reality when Veronica wiped the tears from my eyes"Why are you crying?" She asked as she pulled me in for a hug."I'm fine just a little stressed and preggy hormones?" I lied as I tried to giggle."It's too early for hormones to start having this huge effect on you, or is Javier giving you tough time?". She said"I know

Javier's POV  We where finally making preparations for Andrea's birthday, I Andres and Diego where taking care of the drinks while the women where taking care of the food as other things had already been sorted out. But I couldn't stop myself from going over to the kitchen to steal kisses from Maria, until mother chased me away not to return and I was stuck with the guys and my father who didn't stop telling us about the catholic doctrine.I couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened between Maria and I. She's perfect, the kind of woman I respect, just like Samantha. They were wonderful women. She's a good woman and very attractive. Each time I tried to concentrate on the conversations going on I couldn't help but drift back to our love making."Yes...." came her response as her fingers entwined in my hair. I finally lowered his mouth to my breast, what a beautiful pair, one of my hands slipped higher along the sensitive inside

Maria's POVI woke up feeling like I was beaten with a hammer, my joints where paining me. I tried to get familiar with my environment but then events of last night came back to my mind.Veronica was by side.I wondered if she didn't hate me already for lying to them and trying to deceive them all this while. She must think I am a gold digger just like as her son thought.She noticed I'd woken up." How do you feel my darling?" She asked"Where is Javier?" I asked"He'll come around my dear" she responded"I promise, I didn't kiss Mr.Gram, I'm not even interested in him. I love Javier and...." I didn't complete my sentence before she interrupted me."I know my darling Maria" she said while smiling."It's very obvious, from the way you look at him. I notice it every time. He has feelings for you too but he's too stubborn to admit it" she added"How do you know that?" I
