Veronica POV...
I was in shock and also feeling very anxious about tomorrow as he was drunk so, i don't think he will remember his sweet gesture and our dinner together. But of all the problems, i liked this small change in him and hoping that he will change soon. 2 years back when i met him, ihad an immediate crush on him, looking at his muscular body procleain like face with beatiful brown eyes. I felt his eyes were piercing through my heart deeply, his thin lips with pinkish color i felt like kissing him immediately so i kissed him infront of around 50 people who were dancing around us. Yes, i kissed him in just 5 min of seeing him, at a night club. He was very drunk at that time and i was having my own time chilling with my friends. I was just in my twenties enjoying with friends and never had any boyfriends or had s*x with anyone.
I am an orphan grown up in an orphanage later when i was 10 years old i was adopted by an old couple, as they seeking for a solace in their oldage. They had given me everything, encouraged me in studies and helped me in omproving myself and built me into a strong independent woman. They never objected my wishes, agreed for doing a fashion designing but not allowed me to study out of the city. They had only son and who doesn't even call them to know about their whereabouts. When i became adult i tried to call him many times but he never responded nor visited me once. The old couple even forgot how their son looks like as he doesn't even do video call.
I felt very pity on them, as here i don't had parents and their only son neglecting them at old days. How can anyone be so cruel to keave their parents when they needed us most. All they want is just to spend time with their family. He doesn't even come for money also as he is a very rich business man. So my adopted grandparents given their remaining fortune to me which i objected and insisted them to give their son. But, they said these are just 50 billion dollars where as his son income is thrice than this. He had changed completely after marriage so he hate us even to see after we are dead.
I thought to not spend any single penny from it, i got the need to use for my princess as i am not earning much. They are dead after Mercy turned 1, grandfather died due to cardiac arrest and grandmother due to the loss of him in 10 days after his death unable to cope up with the loss of his beloved. I always envy on them, seeing their love as i didn't got from Andrew. They even supported me when they came to know about my pregnancy out of wedlock and im not ready to abort and not even want to disclose about him to anyone. They asked me to aleast inform him about your pregnancy, but i couldnot tell them that he doesnot love me or i even don't know whether he remembers me or not and he is married. So i told them i was with him as one night stand in a dizzy alcoholic situation, i don't know anything about him and i don't want to become burden on him if he already had any responsibilities. They understood and never compelled me about it. We used to be so happy until they are gone from this world.
After they are dead, i had suffered another blow when Mercy felt dizziness and fell on the floor lying unconscious. I immediately took her to hospital and after obersvations and lot of tests they concluded that it is brain tumor which is very rare to have in toddlers. I don't know what to do and had no one to depend on. They had said it is very costly treatment, then i really felt my grandparents as angels for adopting me and giving me their fortune. They started treatment and Mercy also responding positively. Everything was good with regular checkups and mild dizziness, vomitings, Mercy crying with the pain and medicines etc... I endured everything for my daughter without whom i can't live in this world. One morning, Mercy didnot got up from sleep for 2 days, she was in deep sleep, traumatized with hospital environment, medicines, equipments and she can't even go outside to play just for evening play that too only for 30 min.
After she wokeup, she started calling dada dada..... I felt pity for her. I thought to make her meet her father and give that happiness, i became selfish for my daughter. I know Andrew already is married and living a very happy life but, i became selfish so i called him to come to the hospital and reminded him that i slept with him 2 years back. He didn't believed me first, and didn't responded. I thought he is not believing me, so i told him his private mole which is on his right thigh star shaped. Listening to my words, he said im coming immediately and i got relieved that he believed me and hoped to accept Mercy.
As soon he visited the hospital, recognized me and asked what do you need? I asked him, do you remember what happened that night? He immediately said, yes very clearly, because of you i had one secret from my wife which i can't share with her ever. He yelled at me for remembering about that and i got scared that he won't accept my daughter. He immediately cleared his throat and said, "Sorry for yelling at you, i just infactuated by you that day when you kissed me. One that day, Angela and I were about to explore each others body and ready to take our relationship next level. But, she suddenly back off that she can't do this now. I was really disappointed and got furious and angry on me that even after dating for 8 months she is not ready to giveup her past. She loves me but her heart is not accepting for the next step. I was so sad thought that she doesn't love me so started drinking alot by the time you came kissed me suddenly. I don't know why you did that, i lost control and we did a mistake but i don't had any feelings for you and im married living happily. If you are in need of money, i don't mind in helping for this time only."
Saying this, he was about to leave from the hospital corridor, just then Mercy came and called dada..dada...
