Adams totally forgot about the main reason he came to the hospital in the first place, at this point his flu wasn't even important anymore. He had hurriedly left the Doctor's office and was now outside, standing beside his car.

"A...Alicia is pregnant, Alicia was carrying my child." He kept on repeating, while struggling to breathe at the same time. He placed his hand on his chest, then he bent down a little as he tried to catch his breath.

"Alicia." He muttered as hot tears rolled down his cheeks, he couldn't bear to keep standing, he slowly dropped to his knees, crying bitterly.

Most people passing by the parking lot gave him weird looks, it's rare to see a man dressed in an expensive suit and driving an obviously expensive car crying like a baby in public.

"What have I done? What have I done?" He cried even harder.

All these while he's been so cold and rude to her, he had sworn to always be there for her and defend her at all times, but he had let his parents insult her and treat her like dirt because she couldn't give him a child and they had thought she was barren. He knew how much she loved her job as an author, he was so well informed about her passion for writing and when her career had started going downhill, he was supposed to be there for her and support her, but he didn't do anything of such and rather insulted her, he mocked her and called her a failure.

"Oh God!" He screamed in pain as he angrily hit his hands on the floor.

The one who has failed wasn't Alicia but him, he's failed woefully as a husband.

"I'm so sorry Alicia, I'm so sorry." He cried.

He stayed that way for sometime as he reflect on all his actions, feeling so terrible and guilty. He managed to pull himself together and that was when he stood up, now he has only one thought in mind and that was to find his ex-wife Alicia and seek for her forgiveness for everything he's done to her.

He hurriedly fetched his phone from his pocket and tried calling her, but her number was unreachable, he tried countless of times but it was all to no avail.

He got into his car and drove off, everything in his head was now Alicia and ways on how to locate her.

Adams drove straight home, when he arrived, his parents were already there waiting for him.

"Adams." His mother called in excitement as she rushed to him, she was so concerned about telling him about the wedding plans that she didn't even notice how red his eyes were from all that crying and his face puffy.

"Everything for the wedding is almost ready, Helen will also be here soon."

Adams heaved a deep breath. "I already told you that I don't want to get remarried, and if you still insist on pushing on with this damn thing, then you and dad can get married to her. You both better stop wasting your time because there won't be any wedding!" Adams stated furiously.

"You should have a specific reason for not wanting to get married Adams. I mean think about everything. What will people say? I already told all my friends about your wedding, think about Helen and her parents, this will be a disaster."

"Well I don't care about any of that mother, and I certainly don't care if this will be a disaster or not, or care about what people will say or not say. I'm not getting remarried, and that's final!" He snapped before leaving for his room.

His parents shared a worried look, they couldn't understand what was happening. Adams should be happy about this marriage because they only want what's best for him.

"I told you this was not a good idea. We should have just listened to him when he said he didn't want this wedding." Mr. Antonio said.

"I thought he would eventually come to his senses, and see that we only want what's best for him, but now's not the time to blame me because I've got other matters on my hand." She scoffed, then she left.

Now she's going to have to face another embarrassment by calling off this wedding.

Meanwhile, when Adams went to his room, he immediately placed a call through to his best friend who was also his manager at work and he picked up almost immediately.

"Hey Adams, what's up?"

"Mike, I really need you to do something really quickly for me."

"Err...sure, what's it?"

"Alicia, I need to locate her, use any means possible in getting me her whereabouts and I need you to report to me immediately."

"Are you being serious Adams? Why are you suddenly looking for Alicia when you were the one who divorced her. I'm still really mad at you for what you did to her because she doesn't deserve any of that."

"Now's not the time to judge me Mike, just do as you're told!" Adams snapped, then he hung up.

Mike was his best friend, so he was well informed about everything that's happened, he was never in support of how Adams and his parents had treated Alicia, he even tried warning Adams about divorcing her but Adams never listened and now he's paying a huge price for his actions. What he did to Alicia will forever hunt him and his guilt will forever eat him up, not until he finds her and pleads for her forgiveness.

Hours went by before Mike finally called, when his phone rang, Adams hurriedly picked it up, not even bothering to check who the caller is.

"Mike." He called, and he could hear Mike clear his throat loudly from the other end.

"I've got some information Adams and you certainly won't like what I have to tell you."

Adams felt his heart sink deep into his stomach when Mike said those words, and it took a lot to urge him to continue.

"Alicia is no longer in Seattle Adams, she's left the country, there's no way to locate her. She's gone Adams, gone."

"What!?"

"No Mike, that can't be true, she can't be gone, she just can't!" Adams replied, refusing to believe the information Mike has just told him.

"I'm sorry Adams, but that's just the truth, Alicia already left this city and no one can blame her for that, not after what happened."

"This isn't the time to judge me Mike, I need to find Alicia, you must do everything possible to find out where she traveled to. I can't let her go Mike, I just can't."

"Do you even hear yourself Adams? Well I'm sorry to say this but locating her is going to be impossible, I would have asked you to wait and see if she's ever going to return but then what's the possibility that she's ever going to come back to this country."

Adams heaved a deep breath, then he slowly sat on his bed, he was starting to have a terrible headache and his conscience was now eating him up, he blames himself for everything and if only he could just turn back the hands of time, he's more than willing to change everything, he's never going to hurt Alicia.

"Adams?" Mike called after a moment of a long silence from Adams end.

"I'm willing to wait for her Mike, I don't care how long it takes but I'm willing to wait for Alicia and I'm not giving up on her, if you think it's impossible to locate her, well that's for you. I won't give up on finding her, I'll get someone else to do the job and I'm ready to wait for her until she's found." Adams replied and he heard Mike's loud groan from the other end.

"Well just for how long are you willing to wait? Five years? Ten years? What if she never comes back? What if she finds peace wherever she is and someone more deserving of her?" Mike angrily replied. "You brought this upon yourself Adams, you were the one who divorced her and sent her out of you life! You! The one she trusts the most and the only person she has in the world who was meant to stand by her and take care of her!" He yelled.

"Why don't you just go ahead and get married to the lady you and your parents picked over her, that's what you want after all. You've just lost a diamond Adams and now you're going to spend the rest of your life regretting not holding onto her and following other people's words."

"I warned you Adams, I told you that you'll eventually regret your actions and now look at you. Well I hope Alicia finds peace elsewhere since you couldn't offer her something as easy as that! I hope you enjoy the wealth your parents claimed she was after."

Before Adams had the chance to fire back at Mike for his hurtful but truthful words, Mike hung up, not sparing him the chance to say anything at all.

Adams stared at his phone for a little while before angrily throwing it at the wall, causing it to smash really badly.

Mike's words rang in his ears, filling him with even more guilt and pain, he not only regrets everything, but he also hates himself for what he and his parents did to Alicia, now he's never going to find out what his child look like or get to take part in his child's life. All this thoughts were enough to make his head spin and he screamed out in rage, he stood up in anger and began taking his anger and frustration out on his room, turning things up side down and breaking everything in sight.

His parents who were still around heard the whole noise coming from his room and rushed upstairs. They were panicking so bad and they pounded his door so loudly, asking him to open up, but Adams didn't care about them, he wasn't even in the mood to speak to anybody, all he wants was to inflict as much pain as he can on himself because to him, that's the reasonable thing to do at this moment. He wants to cause himself so much pain because of what he did to his ex wife.

His parents didn't relent in their attempt to get him to open up, and their constant pleading annoyed Adams even more, he ended up yelling at them to leave his house and never show their faces to him again because they were partially to blame for what he did to Alicia and they also contributed to making her life miserable.

"Adams!" His mother screamed, there was so much pain and hurt in her voice when she heard Adams words.

"Just leave you two! Just leave!" Adams yelled and they heard him smash something else again.

His mother wanted to say something, but his father stopped her. He couldn't tell what suddenly went wrong but he knew this wasn't the right time to talk to Adams, it's so clear that he needs some space and the best thing they can do is give him that space.

"Let's leave for now Bridget." He said.

"No, our son needs us, can't you see that Antonio?" She replied in tears.

"We both know our son and we know he's not going to open that door, he's not in his right frame of mind right now, we have no idea what happened and we're never going to find out this way, let's return home for now, we can always come back and speak to him later."

Mrs Bridget didn't want to leave and it took a lot of talking and assurance from her husband to finally get her to return home with him.

Meanwhile, When Adams was done with turning his room up side down and there was nothing else in sight to break, he dropped to his knees and he wept bitterly.

The pain in his heart was just too much and there was nothing he could do to subside that pain.

"I'm so sorry Alicia..."

"I'm so sorry."
