Mag-log inDAVE'S POVI kept sneezing after changing into dry clothes. It was too cold earlier when I got wet in the rain. I was forcing myself not to shiver so Neah wouldn't notice. After getting dressed, I stepped out of the bathroom. Neah had already changed as well. She was sitting on the single sofa, hugging her knees to her chest. She looked like a frightened child. She may have changed, but the things she was afraid of never did. She still seemed terrified of the dark, especially when there was loud thunder and sharp lightning."Stay here, I'm going to check the kitchen and see what I can cook," I told her, but she immediately stood up."I'm coming with you." Just like I thought, she was afraid of being left alone. I walked out of the room first while she followed closely behind me. When I suddenly stopped walking, she bumped into my back because she was standing too close."I'm sorry," she muttered. I turned around and took one of her hands. "What are you doing?" she asked irritably. Why
NEAH'S POVWhen we reached the bridge, a man wearing a raincoat suddenly blocked our path. Dave rolled down his window."Sir, you can't pass through anymore because the water is already too high. The road has also been damaged because of the sudden storm. It's better if you turn back," the man shouted over the deafening sound of the rain and thunder, making him difficult to hear."We can't go home?" I asked Dave anxiously."You heard what he said," Dave replied grumpily.I tightly closed my eyes. I needed to go home because my son would surely be waiting for me, but if I insisted on getting my way, something might happen to both Dave and me.Dave reversed the car and headed back toward the hotel. As time passed, the rain only became heavier. The sky had turned so dark that it looked like nighttime even though it was barely four o'clock in the afternoon.We continued down the road, Dave unable to drive any faster because the rain was so heavy that he could barely see the road ahead. I
NEAH’S POVI was silently arranging my things. Is there really no other way for me not to be with Dave? I have been wishing for him to have an emergency in another project so someone else could go with me, but nothing is happening.Two hours from now we will leave, but I still haven’t heard any news of an emergency. I let out a deep sigh. It feels like this will be the longest day of my life.“Mommy, are you okay?” I looked at my child when he spoke. “You’ve been holding your things so tightly.” he added. I looked at the folder in my hand, it was already wrinkled because of how tightly I was holding it.“Be good to Auntie Claire, okay?” I reminded my child even though I tell him that every day.“Yes mommy, don’t worry.” he answered with a smile.I said goodbye to my child and left to go to Sy Elite because that is where I will meet Dave.When I arrived at the lobby, I met Cassandra. I just hope she is not suspicious of me and Dave because I don’t want trouble.“Good morning, Neah,” sh
NEAH’S POVAfter we had dinner with Liam, he also dropped us off at home. I carried Kaiden and turned to face Liam.“Thank you for the dinner, Liam. Are you going home now or heading straight to the hospital?”“I’ll go home first to rest. My duty is tomorrow anyway.” I nodded.“Alright then, drive safely. Go to sleep as soon as you get home so you can rest your body. I know your job is really exhausting.” He smiled and then kissed my forehead, the same way he did to Kaiden.“Good night, Neah. Good night, son.” He said to Kaiden.“Drive safely, daddy. I love you.” My son said sweetly. Liam smiled warmly.“Of course, don’t be naughty with your mom so she can also rest, okay?”“Yes daddy, I promise.”“Bye, Neah.” I nodded and smiled at Liam. He then turned around and got into his car. When he was no longer in sight, I was about to go inside the house when I noticed a car parked not far from us.I noticed the driver was looking at us, but then he closed the passenger window. Maybe I’m jus
DAVE’S POVI was just about to leave my office when Cassandra entered.“Are you ready?” she asked. I grabbed my coat and wore it before walking toward her.“Let’s go,” I walked ahead first to open the door. She stepped out first before I followed after her.“Oh, hi Neah.” Every time I run into Neah and see her, it feels like electricity runs through my body. After I closed the door, I looked at Neah who had just come out of her office too.“Hi,” she answered before giving a small smile.“Are you heading home too? Let’s go down together.” Neah smiled again. Cassandra and Neah walked side by side while I stayed ahead of them. They were talking again about the things they planned to do for their business.I couldn’t help but think, does Neah not think about me anymore? Did she really forget me that quickly? As for me, I’m still stuck in the past. Almost every day, I regret always choosing work first. I didn’t even realize that little by little, I was already losing the woman I loved.Whe
DAVE’S POVI couldn’t stop thinking about Neah’s child. I didn’t clearly see his face because his back was facing me. I don’t know if I just can’t accept the fact that she already has a child with someone else or if her child and I are actually blood related. I know Neah, we spent a long time together so I know she wouldn’t easily find someone else right away.I leaned back against my chair and tightly shut my eyes. Whenever I remember her cold and blank eyes, it feels like she wasn’t lying. As if she was certain that I really wasn’t the father of her child. Then again, she’s the one who truly knows the truth, who the real father of her child is.I want to win her back. If it’s true that the child is from another man, how am I supposed to continue my plan of courting her again?A deep sigh escaped my lips.“Why do you have pictures of Neah?” I quickly opened my eyes and got shocked when I saw Cassandra. She was already holding the pictures and magazines about Neah.“What are you doing
DAVE’S POVI stared blankly into space, I still couldn’t forget my encounter with Neah earlier. She was still beautiful, the sadness that used to linger in her eyes was no longer there. Until now, guilt continued to consume me. Why didn’t she tell me that her parents died in an accident? Why didn’t
NEAH’S POVThree weeks had passed, yet every single day, Dave still came to my parents’ house to win me back. Ever since we buried our child, I had never returned to the home we once shared. I wanted to heal. Somehow, the thought of stepping back into that house terrified me because all I would rem
NEAH’S POVThree days after we lost our child, I sat silently in front of a tiny white coffin. It was so small. Far too small to hold the reality that a life had once existed there. I clutched the ultrasound photo tightly in my hands while tears streamed endlessly down my face. I no longer knew how
NEAH’S POVRain hammered against the windows as I stared blankly at my phone screen. My hands trembled while I clutched my stomach, the pain inside me growing sharper, as though something was slowly tearing me apart from within.“Please…” I whispered shakily, dialing Dave’s number again.For the se
