" I am sorry, Young Master! You aren't allowed to use the penthouse. A legal notice came earlier. It says -"Awkward, Derek rubs his nape before looking at Gwen who is so nonchalant about the situation. Crossing her arms around her chest, she watches Derek return." Sorry! I should have built one for myself! Shall we go to the hotel? Don't worry. I will make sure -"" I will drive!" She grabs his keys and gets in the car. " Where are you going?" He says, following her in the car." Somewhere where I don't need to take permission to get in or live in!" " I am sorry." His shoulders drop." Nevermind. From the day I married you, my luck has always been a bitch. So it doesn't matter!" She says starting the engine.Derek nods, smiling forlornly. " Let's enjoy our life when we have nobody to rely on except both of us." He grins, " Maybe this time, you'll get stronger than anyone can imagine!"" You could have just accepted Anusha instead of me. You didn't have to suffer!" She says eyes ar
After telling Derek to take some rest, she grabs her old hoodie and walks out of the room. She doesn't have any problems with sharing her room with him. His presence doesn't bother her at all. She has trained her heart to keep herself unbothered in front of him. Despite the love she holds for him inside.After leaving the house, she directly heads toward the hospital. Seeing nobody's around, she moves inside the room when Anusha is talking to someone." Send more videos. Once he faces bankruptcy, he will leave that woman and come to me!" Anusha smirks... " He must know only I am the one who he deserves!"" I don't care. He has to return to me. I don't have anything left. He can only help me out. So you must -"Anusha frustratingly turns to get back to her bed, however, a shiver runs through her body when her eyes catch Gwen who is sitting on the couch, resting her head on her hand. What's more, she is glancing at Anusha with no expression." Oh My Gosh! What... What are you -?"" Nice
At night...While wiping his hair, Derek walks towards the single couch and talks to his assistant Nolan..." Nolan! I need the recent information about -"However, Gwen from the kitchen rushes to him and stands right before him with a cold stare. " What are you doing?" Gwen grabs his phone and cuts the call once she notices him talking with Nolan who reached out to him." Why did you -?"" Are you an idiot? Do you think my grandparents will help you out?" She asks annoyingly." I don't need their help but I can't let my company -"" Mr. CEO! Be careful with your every step. They blindly chose her. They made Leon against you. So it won't be hard controlling Nolan either. But what we have to focus on, is -"She walks towards the door of the balcony that she stopped him to open before and moves from the door..." This!" She smirks.Derek's eyes widen when the reflection of the light hits his eyes. Approaching slowly, he touches the wall of the room, with lots of photos and information
" I don't want to drag things around! If you can't be honest with me, I won't share my next strategy here. So you ask me whatever you want and I will respond honestly. In exchange, you must have to be honest with me as well!" She says.Although she wants to keep the mission to find out about the people who killed her entire family all alone. But seeing how trustworthy he was to Mr Wordsworth, he is the best option to choose." How long are you planning all of these?" He asks, looking at the board." Two years. After your father's death, I collected all the information!"Derek nods, " How did you know that they're not your grandparents?" He asks since there is no way to find out. They loved her like she was the apple of their eyes." Simple! Your father said about it. Also, My so-called father who raised me sold themselves off. They ' coincidentally were there in that apartment when I left you. They actually knew I would be there not in my condo. Possibly, they've been stalking me!""
" Did you make breakfast?" He snuggles as he wraps his arms around her waist. Gwen giggles ruffling his hair... " I didn't give you the permission to hold me like this!" Derek pouts as his hand grips her gently before pulling her closer... " I got all kinds of permissions last night. So this time no longer needed to claim what I deserve!" He presses his lips against her, " Good Morning, My wife!"Gwen smiles blushingly while nodding, " Morning to you as well. Anyway, Let's grab the breakfast before I go to work!"" Work? Why would you?"" We need. Who knows how long we have to stay here! Don't worry! You got an awesome wife who can do anything!"" Let me help you too. I can't just -"" It's okay. I will cook once I return. I have only two two-hour shifts!" She says pecking on his lips and walking out. The moment the door closes, the expression on his face has changed. Grabbing the phone, he instantly calls someone who doesn't take another second to receive it." I knew you would ca
It was when she knew, Derek is the fool who never could move on. Anusha knew how crazily he had been loving her. Anyone on his place would have left her once she left him alone to leave for abroad and returned after many years. He waited, he didn't even care to know why she would leave or if she had any boyfriends there. All he did was accepting her without any questions.So, no matter what He would return to her and she was confidence in this.Anyway, she lost the confidence once he chose Gwen. She thought Gwen won when she was abandoned. But, her heart revived the same arrogant thoughts that he couldn't live without her, once he called her again...He chose Gwen to investigate what Gwen was doing.Right now, Anusha is standing in front of the window. Behind her, Dwayne grabs his pants and walks towards her, " He called you back!" He scoffed, while dragging the blanket towards them." As I said, he would always choose me." She let his arms around her chest to wrap the blanket and get
The moment the guards informed about the guests arriving, The Wordsworth couple stand up and glance at each other. They are ready to get whatever they want this time, including the entire title as Wordsworth.The door opens, releasing the cold air of AC. The moment the door is wide open, it reveals three people standing before the door. They're wearing their unapproachable Demeanor, their coldness expression give away their title as the richest businessmen on earth. Mr Wordsworth who is standing, glances at the person who is at his mid fifty. His grey hair and beard full face appears as carbon copy of someone he knows. Someone who he doesn't want to face even if there is any chance to reincarnate. " It's been a while, Mr Wordsworth!" Rowan Wordsworth, 56 years old, A prominent figure walks in the room, followed by his two sons who are wearing same expression as their father. " It's been a while, Rowan! I have been waiting for your return!" Mr Wordsworth smiles brightly as if he is
" I know what you are coming from but why did you let her go without taking the DNA test? You just kicked her out because she was doing what? Trying to hurt another woman's daughter who has nothing to do with our family?" Rowan snaps at the Elder Wordsworth who explained why they don't think Gwen is the one they have been searching for. " It's not like that. We did... We actually did a DNA test, she isn't related to us!" Mr Wordsworth tries to explain but - " Why would she be related to you when you aren't the grandparents of her? Are you trying to joke or you don't know what position you hold in this family? Do you think I have stopped investigating everything about my cousin?" Rowan snarls, almost ready to destroy him. However, his eldest son, Kai stops him and calms him down. " I don't care what you have done all of those years. Since I am already here, I am going to rethink about the family position. I will be moving in with my family. So I want the house clean. " Rowan!
Liam's tension mounts as he watches the tightened security around the house. Guards shadow him everywhere, a constant, silent reminder that he's being closely monitored. Every time he tries to make a move toward the hospital, they're there, thwarting him before he even gets close. Gwen is still missing, and the pressure is suffocating him.Three days have passed since Derek’s death and Gwen’s disappearance, but Liam has found no relief. Despite his repeated attempts to slip past the security, he’s getting nowhere. Tonight, he's exhausted, drained by the weight of his worry and the demands of caring for Gwen’s newborn—his niece. The baby, so small and fragile, is completely dependent on him. He calls her Gwen too, as a way to keep her mother’s memory alive. He holds her gently on his chest, lying back on the bed, her tiny body pressed to his heart.From the moment she was born, he refused to let anyone else near her—not even a nanny. Feeding, cleaning, every little need, he handles him
The blood drains from Liam's face as he sees familiar men arriving at the hospital. They used to work with Sandra before fleeing once she was caught. From the beginning, it was clear his father had been the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.One day, Derek had told him he preferred keeping Gwen with him, close and in front of him. Did Derek know someone else had orchestrated everything? Did he know it was their father—and that was why his father hadn’t hesitated to kill him?As thousands of questions storm through Liam’s mind, Mr. Rowan turns to him with a grin. "Son! You know Gwen's life and the baby’s life depend entirely on your actions. If you think you can betray me with your foolish kindness, remember there will be a price, and you’ll regret it!"Liam swallows hard. It’s becoming more difficult to digest everything. He thought he was proud of his father, a kind and sweet man.His mind races with uncertainty. What if Kai knew everything? What if he knows their father is n
Derek feels his pulse pounding in his throat as the nurse reappears, her expression urgent and tense. “Dr. Jean isn’t here yet! The patient is losing too much blood—get her to the ER!”Time stretches thin as Derek takes in her words. Gwen, his Gwen, is slipping further away with every passing second. Now the doctors are rushing her into surgery. He watches, helpless, as the nurse gestures firmly toward the hallway. “Sir, please, you need to leave now.”Reluctantly, he steps back, watching the delivery room doors close with a finality that chills him. Gwen and the baby they’ve waited for with so much hope are beyond his reach now. Three agonizing hours have passed since she went into labor, but the quiet fear he’s felt all along has erupted into full-blown panic. Everything is spiraling out of control.How did it come to this? He arranged everything, hiring the best doctors, securing the safest hospital, making sure Gwen had every comfort. But now, standing alone in the sterile hallway
39 weeks! Gwen has been struggling enough to move around. She will leave for the hospital this afternoon to prepare for her labor. She will give a natural birth but wants to keep her situation under control without any delays. " Derek! Can you get my shoes please? I'm cold suddenly!" Gwen asks, while trying to get her shoes but fails. She wants to walk around for a bit. It's been difficult for her to handle things herself. She is not having good sleep either. Each time, Derek keeps rubbing her back, her swollen legs, cooking her something delicious -- She is grateful for having such a loving husband and feeling sad for disturbing his sleep. Handling work from home and helping her around has become a huge deal. When she asked him to hire some staff, for some reason, he looked adamant not to hire. She still doesn't know what's the reason behind it. But he is handling everything in his own way. " Sneakers!" He puts them on her legs and gently pecks her stomach over her dress,
After that day, Gwen practically makes herself comfortable living there sometimes on weekends or anything she wants to be with her dearest husband. Derek, trying to be the best husband, of course with flaws, has been doing everything to support her and the pregnancy journey. Sometimes they have arguments, sometimes a bit of misunderstanding or a bit of extra love. But like other couples in love, they have found their lives on the track, next to each other. Time goes fast, within a blink, leaving full gray and white memories with happiness and exhaustion. Pregnancy has never been as easy as it looks in movies and dramas. Not as romantic as the feelings sound like. Sometimes Gwen feels everyone's presence around her is suffocating. Even Derek's presence. Sometimes she couldn't get a hold on herself without Derek. Having him around her is like having a therapist who understands her more than anyone. When she becomes busy with her work, he attends the new parents class online, op
Gwen gently rests her hands on his face, grinning widely. He is literally shaking, his eyes filled with desperation and hopelessness. This is not new for her. Because she was once that desperate, to tell him how much she loves him. But seeing her feelings being reciprocating, she can't help but chuckle a bit. " Thank you!" She whispers, disclosing their distance and looking into his eyes, " I know how it feels. Each time I thought of ending things, I was like this. Because I didn't want to lose this Man I adore so much. Thank you for loving me so much, Derek. So continue to love me like this." Tears drop as she speaks, her thumbs brushing his bearded face. She loves him so much. And now listening to his confession, it makes her relieved. Probably the distance between them that has grown up over time, will finally disappear. Derek smiles widely, like a kid who feels relieved and feels acknowledged after working hard to get something perfect. He wraps his arms around her waist,
People say when they are in love, everything becomes gray but the person they're in love with. Derek holds the camera up, watching the favorite person through his phone, capturing each and every single moment. He wants to create a whole album of her for old days, when probably both of them will be worn out and have nothing to do. They'll sit on the porch, in a hot summer, reminiscing about their rollercoaster lives. He used to find romantic movies cringe, but now he knows why people become so desperate to love each other. Maybe he isn't some kind of hero, protecting her from evil step mother. But he knows he wants her. Even in silence, he wants her present around him. After seeing her pale complexion on that day when Anusha exposed his secret, he felt like a criminal who killed thousands of innocent people. Since that day, he is scared of hurting her. Not anymore, not even in his death - He says, his heart can't forgive him. " What are you doing?" She asks, kicking her legs
" These reels are funny! But I don't like pranks." She keeps talking and laughing at the funny reels in her phone while Derek preparing the dinner. " Do you think everyone is happy? They look so perfect and happy. Like novels!" She rests her chin on the table and keeps mumbling, asking questions. Derek glances at her while chopping the vegetables. A few seconds later, Taking out some of strawberries that he put beforehand, he pours a glass of warm milk and takes them to her, " It's life. People are intend to show off their happiness in front of people hiding their own pain. Everyone has their own problems. Not everything is true in social media!" Gwen nods, pouting, " Do you think we will be happy?" She asks, looking at Derek who pauses for a second. He nods, " I will try my best to make you happy!" He smiles. " But I said ' We' Not me!" She looks at him, her expression is serious. " If you are happy, then I am ha-!" " Liar!" Derek frowns narrowly while trying to unders
His hand slips and reaches to her thigh. Gwen flinches and looks at Derek who is driving home. She thinks he is trying to touch her thigh but instead, he holds her hand and keeps driving. " What do you want to have for dinner?" He asks, " Anything is fine. Can I cook today? It's been a while since I last cooked!" She says, her eyes are on him, admiring. " I would love to. But I think you shouldn't do it today. You will feel sick!" He says, kissing her hand. "I am alright. I don't have any problems with smells." She says, eager to cook. Derek gives a smile and nods, " As you wish!" The night seems to have added the sweetness more. Derek who has been hiding his agony of losing his last parent, seems to have found his home. The warmth of her hand, the scent of her cologne, her voice, her smile, everything feels like eternal experience. He admires her serenity while he is in chaos. The car heads its own way, while his heart enjoys every single beat with her. Gwen from
