Noah’s POV

As I watched Rachel go I felt my heart constrict. Was I the only one now feeling something for her? Why did she not put up a fight with my mom? Why did she blame Coco for what she did not do?

I found the can of the energy drink that she claimed Coco gave her. I picked up the can to see that there were still some droplets of the drink in it.

I have never in my life doubted Coco for any reason but what Rachel had said in the hospital had refused to leave my mind. Could it be true?

I asked Ben if there could be a place to check the contents of a drink and he said he would try his best. I give him the can and he swings into work.

As I lay on the bed that night I felt some sort I run loneliness and it haunts me. I spend your whole night tossing and turning in bed.

I wondered about Rachel and what she was doing. I wondered about the whole situation and what the truth could be. I instantly regret not stopping her when she was leaving.

I hated myself and I let the love I had for my mom blind me from seeing my feelings for Rachel. When I see the slightest bit of light from outside I stand up and decide to take a run around the neighborhood. Maybe it would clear my mind off the issue at hand.

After running to exhaustion I go back home and freshen up to start for the day. I slip into the car without breakfast while trying my best to hide from whoever it was that was on kitchen duty that day.

“Good morning Boss” Ben greeted as I entered. I nodded and gestured that we could go.

“Okay Boss,” he said again and I closed my eyes. Maybe I could get some shut-eye during our trip to the office.

Ben clears his throat multiple times. It was obvious he wanted to tell me something. “Yes, Ben go on,” I say without opening my eyes.

“We got the test result from the lab for the can found in your room sir,” he said and waited for me to react.

“And?” I asked as my eyes flew open.

“There were some strange substance found in the droplet and upon further analysis, it was found to be misoprostol”

“What is that?” I ask partially afraid that I had let Rachel go without believing what she had said and afraid of the tendencies of Nichole whom I had defended because I thought I knew her well.

“It is a drug used for stomach ulcer that can be harmful to pregnant women and can cause a miscarriage especially when overdosed or used continuously”

“So you are saying that such harmful drugs were found on the droplets of the drink?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Yes Boss, they were found in high quantity which was what led to the miscarriage”

I beat myself up multiple times in my head. Why did I ever not believe Rachel? She had never lied before so what was my conclusion to make that decision?

“So where is Rachel now?” I ask.

“Sir you did not ask me to keep tabs on her….” he replies trailing off

He was right I did not ask him to keep tabs on her so there was no way he would know.

“Can you get her exact location?” I ask uneasy as I pull out my phone and try her number.

There was no way I could let her go. When I thought she was in the wrong for accusing Nichole I still did not want to let her go. Now that I knew I was the wrong one for believing Nichole over my wife there was no way I won’t fight until the end for her.

Nichole did put up a big show after all she was all elaborate and grand as she watched me get afraid of seeing Rachel probably die as she lay lifeless in front of me.

I wanted to go and accuse her. I wanted to hear what Nichole had to say. I wanted her to tell me that it was a misunderstanding.

Ben drove me to the office while I kept trying Rachel’s number. It was not going through as it kept going to voice mail. I could not focus on work and kept checking my phone while trying Rachel’s number at intervals.

“Hello Boss,” Ben says as I pick up his call.

“We have been able to locate the Mrs,” he says and I did not wait to hear what he said.

I darted out of the office praying with everything within that I was able to get Rachel
