When the heat subsided, Kara's breathing returned to normal.  It was then that reason slowly set in.    Kara lay straight on her back, her feet propped up on the bed with her knees raised. Her hands laced and placed over her tummy.  “I have to go back home,” she told him, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.  For a moment, she let her body wallow in her desire for the man.  But that was madness. She had to stay away from him. That is the plan. That is what she must do.  For her peace of mind.   But often, her heart and body would not listen to her head.  They went after their wants and needs rashl

Another month has passed, and Kara’s baby bump has started to show. One need only to look at her to tell that she was pregnant. Though she still craves some food, her cravings and other pregnancy symptoms have reduced to the minimum. Also around this time, Kara and Nico have established a workable routine.Every morning, Nico would leave for the hotel, bringing his assistants Bruno and Frank.Then, by lunch, he would return to have lunch with her. He would rest for a while. They would talk for a while about how her day went or if the baby had given her a hard time.  Then, he would leave again for the hotel and be back in the evening in time for dinner. It was an idyllic life.  Peaceful. The subject of parting was never broached again.  Kara decided to take her time and let Nico be in charge. He will tell her when she overstayed her welcome, like before. That morning, Kara decided to w

Marco tailed Frank’s car until it reached B Hospital.  He stopped his car a few meters from the emergency room and watched how the doctors tended to Rebecca.  Even when they already rushed Rebecca inside, he never left.  He waited. Thirty minutes later, he saw Nico Bernardi get out of his car and run to the hospital’s entrance. Marco gritted his teeth. He does not have anyone to call to check on Rebecca.  Since Nico found out about Dr. James's misdiagnosis, he was stripped of his license and barred from medical practice.  Following that,  Nico purged the ho

Marco saw what happened. He was in his car, watching the hospital premises when he saw Kara and Nico engaged in a heated argument.  He noted that it did not go well since Nico left in a huff.  An evil grin crept on his face as a plan formed in his head.  Now that Nico has possession of Rebecca, Marco decides it is only fair if he gets something of Nico.  And that is Kara and her child.  With the idea formed, he worked quickly and called his assistant.  “Gordon. Tell our men to keep watch at the hospital.  I am going somewhere.”  Marco started the

When Nico and Evan arrived at the Castiliogne Villa, they could hear Don Leo’s thundering voice.They could hear Don Leo asking for his whereabouts, but no one could say where he was.  No one knew because he never told anyone except Evan where he was headed last night when he left Rebecca's hospital.“Where is Nico?  He had the gall to leave at a time like this?” Even from outside the gates, they could feel the man’s rage.  “I am here,” Nico announced in a voice full of authority when he got in.Upon seeing him, Don Leo marched up to him and exclaimed.  “My daughter is lying in the hospital bed, and where were you?” Don Leo did not give Nico a chance to explain because the accusation came with a surprise attack.  Nico reeled when Don Leo hit him with a metal knuckle. He thought he saw stars. Nico shook his head at the unexpectednes
