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.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

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?”

“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
