HELENA'S POV:

She cried on my arms for a long time before Mr. Liam held her by her shoulders and made her sit on bed. She wiped her tears and patted on the bed near her, indicating me to sit beside her.

"You know, I always dreamt of having a child since I was married. I was married to Liam seven years ago. But my dreams shattered into pieces when we... when we visited to the doctor to after a year of our marriage." She said while tears rolling down her eyes.

Mr. Liam wiped her tears and started speaking, "We wanted to have a child but when some tests were conducted, we found that...That Diana has some complications. The doctor had told us that if she conceives, she'll have to abort the child cause her own life would be at risk. So I... I decided that we won't have any child cause Diana is more important to me."

"But God granted the biggest blessing to me. I turned out to be pregnant." Mrs.Diana said giving a faint smile looking at sleeping Zayden.

"Diana was a month pregnant when she found out about her pregnancy but she... She didn't tell anyone of us about her pregnancy. We were surprised when we noticed her baby bump on her fifth month. I was... I was so angry on her that she didn't tell me about her pregnancy." Mr. Liam said looking at Mrs.Cullen and I could see love and affection for her in his eyes.

"You would've never allowed me to keep the child if I'd have told you. And I could've never got my baby in my life." Mrs.Cullen kissed on Zayden's forehead saying so.

"Yeah. That's true. But when we found about her pregnancy later, we were in tension all the time. Her health started degrading every day, she became more weak and pale. On her seventh month, her blood pressure increased excessively so we rushed her into emergency ward. I still get goosebumps when I remember that day." He said tightly holding Mrs.Cullen's hands.

"The doctor said that we have no other option than to operate right at that moment. So we had to agree and our Zayden...." He looked at Zayden and continued, "He was born before the time. He was so small and weak. He had to be kept into ventilator for life support and here at the other side, Diana was fighting for her life." Mr.Cullen had tears on his eyes when he said it.

"I was fighting, I had to fight for my child. He needed me and that is what saved my life. I couldn't stop fighting cause my child needed me. He was kept in ventilator for two whole months and every day was like a while year for me. But finally, my son was in my arms." Mrs. Cullen said smiling brightly at me.

"We were living a happy life. We were happy that we finally had a happy family. Diana rejoined the company when Zayden turned out two years. We started living our normal life. But life was not easy on us. We had earned name and fame from business but at the same time, we had also earned business rivals." Mr.Cullen said while shaking his head in helplessness.

Mrs. Cullen took a deep breath and said, "It was Zayden's third birthday, we were having party at my mom's place when we got a phone call. That bastard... that bastard had abducted our little Zayden. He had sent his men behind us to keep eyes on us all the time and even sent them as working staff in our home. And those people abducted my Zayden from our own home." Mrs. Cullen's grip on Mr. Cullen's hand tightened.

"We were asked to drop the top four deals for getting Zayden back. But still, his security was not assured. We were just growing in business and dropping the deals would've finished everything as well. So we involved police in this case but we were still trying our best from our side."

"It was my brother who found Zayden. But... But he was half dead when he was found." Mrs.Cullen burst out crying again. How hard it must have been for a mother to see her own child in such condition. She had risked her life for having the baby, that's enough to show the love she has for Zayden.

"He was...sob sob... kept back into ventilator cause... sob sob.. cause he was too weak....sob sob...he had needles and pipes inserted inside his mouth...sob sob... He had to be given bottles of blood. My child, sob sob.. my child was in so much pain..sob sob..I failed as a mother...sob sob..I.. I couldn't protect my son from the evils." She started bitterly crying hiding her face behind her palms.
