Raven's pov.Thursday morning.."Raven, what is this? Why did you pack all your things? Don't you go to work?" Esmeralda asked when she saw me busy inside Zeb's room. I really made it quick when I noticed that Zeb had left for work."I already left a letter on my table yesterday, mom. I mean, I asked my officemate to tell Zeb that I can't make it today because it's on my schedule for my monthly check-up, which is true." I replied.. Esmeralda looked at me and took a deep breath."So what are these? I mean, what do these things mean? You are leaving?" She looks so sad."This is the right thing to do, mom! I thought my stay here would change Zeb's treatment of me. I thought he would realize and feel that I am telling the truth, but I was wrong. They even faked my signature so they could give a resignation letter to Axel's company." I wiped my tears dry because I knew I'd be away from the best family I'd ever met."What? But why did he do that?""It's a long story, mom. But the ending w

Zeb's povI am busy in my office with some important matters. I need to sign all the mountainous contracts in front of me. I had a hard day, and I can't work well. I was thinking of Raven, even if I shouldn't have.I don't claim any responsibility for her. I am not the father of her child, and I know that she's aware of it.The telephone rang. I picked up, and Sandy says that Neri wanted to talk to me.I told her to let her in."What brought you here, Neri? I thought we had already had a talk. Well, I really admire how well you were doing as Raven's friend.. she's so lucky.." I offered to sit for her."Sorry if I need to come here, Zeb. I know that this is unprofessional. I shouldn't force you to come in since I don't even have an appointment, but this is something important and I hope you understand." Neri said..staring at her, she didn't come for a fight. She's so calm, and I felt like she needs more understanding and consideration."What's the matter?" I asked.. like we were just

Raven's POV"Raven! Raven!"I opened my eyes, and I was shocked when I saw Mom before me.She keeps shaking me."Raven, you were having a nightmare." mom said as she helped me get up. She handed me a glass of water, and she massaged my back."What happened, mom?" I asked because I really don't know what happened.I wiped my tears dry.."You were having a nightmare. I got in, and I saw you moving your head so fast, so I tried to wake you up. You've been in that situation for almost 10 minutes, and I started to panic." Mom said, and I saw how she got worried."I'm sorry, mom! Maybe I was just thinking a lot these past few days.. or maybe because my 9th month is almost there.. I'm fine," I replied."You made me worry...""I'm really sorry," I replied with a smile."Okay, just stay here and calm yourself. I will just ask the cook to prepare something so you can eat. It's already 10 in the evening." Mom stood up and went into the kitchen.I couldn't imagine that I fell asleep for that lon

Zeb's pov.."Don't turn your back on me, Neri! I am talking to you!" I grabbed Neri's hand upon seeing her at the mall.Yes, it's been a week since I heard that Raven gave birth, but they never told me. It's clear that I want a DNA test on the baby, but it seems like they don't have a plan to comply with the agreement."What's the matter, Zeb? Are you not ashamed of yourself? The CEO of the largest company in the world is chasing an ordinary woman. How sweet!" Neri said it seemed like she was just having fun.I got irritated, and I am pissed at her actions. I don't like the way they hide from me all things that happened about Raven's child."Neri, you know why I am doing this. Where is the baby? What happened to Raven?" I asked.."Wow! You care about the baby and about what happened to Raven? Whatever Raven told you before it happened.. about the baby, we're sorry, but Raven told us not to show you even a shadow of him.."I was shocked. "He" means it's a boy."Surprised? Yes, it's a

Zeb's pov."Sorry, Nate, but this is something important. It's been 5 days since I talked to Axel, and I can't even see Neri's shadow now. I went to Hed Pad, but the owner said that she sold her pad already a month ago. I really need to see her. I have a hard time believing that she knew where the baby was. Nate, it's mine! I have all the right to have it, and the baby has the right to everything that I have. This is it! "I already have a successor, someone who will continue what I have started. "Seriously?" I said as I stared at Nate.Nate looked at me like he wanted to make sure of everything that I said. He's a friend, and I know that he will not just let me do what I want."Are you sure that Axel was telling you the truth? What if this is just one of his schemes? What if he was just telling you this because he wanted you to take the child, and soon he will use it against you?""I saw his medical records. His parents knew that he was not capable of bearing a child. That's also the
