Chapter 17Gina’s POVTears left my eyes hearing the woman’s story during the counselling section, “He cheated on me after everything I have done for him, what will I tell the kids?”“I am so sorry about that ma’am, so what do you intend to do? will you file for a divorce or give him a second chance? Take your time to think about it and in our next section, I hope to get an answer from you.” I added trying not to remember Liam because he ruined me as well after everything, he used me as a pawn in his game.“Thank you so much Miss Gina for your time, I will see you tomorrow with my answers ready.” She said standing on her feet and exiting my office.Funny how time flies, my phone rang and it was from Erick, “Hello Erick.”“How are you doing Gina, care to grab some snacks with me at the subway?”“Sure, on my way.”“Okay see you there.” I ended the call, I looked at the picture on my desk, it’s a picture of me and my quintuplet, they give me so much strength day by day.

I plan to get drunk and forget about the pain I am feeling right now.The next morning I woke up feeling so tired, it’s the weekend so I will be spending time at home with my kids, I am sure they are going to love it.I stepped out of my room after having a cool bath to prepare breakfast for them but I noticed they were not out yet.I knocked at their room and they refused to answer me, I tried to open the door but it was locked, “My cuties, open the do
Chapter 19Gina’s POV“Kids don’t go, when do we start arranging our things to travel down to Florida?” They all stopped and Theresa who always got the gut of her father said to me, “Mom are you trying to buy yourself more time so we could eat with you? It’s not working Mom.”“I am not playing with you guys at all, I pinky swear kids.” I let out a smile with my finger out and Teddy rushed to jump on my body and kissed my cheek saying, “Mom, you are the best, I love you.”“I love you too, son.”“We love you so much, mom.” The rest kids said clingy to me and I felt happy again.“So are we going to have dinner together now?” I asked.“Yes, Mom and we all will assist you in the kitchen this time around.”“That’s good to hear but before then let's visit the supermarket to get a few things,” I said to them and they were excited about it.“I want ice cream mom.” Teddy said and I caressed his hair saying, “That’s not a problem at all, who else wants ice cream?”“Me..” They all raised their h
Chapter 20Gina’s POV“Grandpa Leo they said died seven years ago.”“WHAT??” Hot tears left my eyes immediately and I couldn’t breathe.“I am so sorry, assuming you told me you wanted to see Sir Leo Williams, I could have told you about it, it was all over the news seven years ago, are you close to him?” She added.“He is the only family I have after my parents died in an accident.”“It took you seven whole years to find out, so sorry for the loss.”“Take me to any place to cool off,” I said to her and she nodded her head.While she was driving I remembered the past when I came in newly, and after high school, I became an orphan. I cried at the funeral when everyone came to pay their last respect to my family and there was Grandpa Leo, he never left, he sat down with me even if I didn’t talk to him.“Hey little one, accept my condolences, your parents are the nicest people I have worked with you know, too bad death claimed them but I promise you I will be your family from today.”“Yo
Chapter 21*Seven Years Earlier*Liam’s POV“Won’t you regret it, I mean she is kind and loving, couples usually have their ups and downs but divorcing each other is not the way out and I don’t want you to make a mistake that will turn out to regret tomorrow.”“I will not regret it and my decision will never end up as a mistake, you can go,” I replied coldly and she left. I will never regret letting her go, never. The next day I had a little talk with Mariam, “So I would let you stay with me for some time and when you get better you can leave, I will give you any amount you need, case close.” I said to her with no smile at all.“You must be joking right? You slept with me, got me pregnant and I lost my baby because you couldn’t protect me from that bitch and now you are telling me to get better and leave? You ruined me, Liam.” She added and I got pissed.“Okay, what exactly do you want? Name what you so desire and I will make it happen.”“It’s very simple, marry me if you truly want

Grandpa please don’t die, who will call me meathead, spoilt brat and all those names hum? I need you grandpa, you are the only one I have who truly understands me. “Mr Liam.” The doctor called. “Yes doctor, how is my grandpa? Hope he is okay?” I asked with a panicking voice. “Yes he is fine now and he is re

I trusted you.”“You can still trust me Gina, I promise to be a good husband to you, I will love you with all my heart and make sure you never lack, we will go to places together, just be in my life.”‘You are insane, I would rather die than be your wife, you are just a devil in disguise, I should have known what I was getting myself into by talking to you.” she said out of regret.Drake stood up coming close to her and she got scared because his eyes became cold all of a sudden, “What did you just say?” he yelled at her.“Just let me go.” She cried and concluded in her heart that he was a mad man but how on earth is she going to escape from him for good? There is no possible way for anyone to find her since no one is going to think of Drake as the enemy, she knew she was doomed for life.He pinned her to the wall and she begged him to let he
Chapter 133Liam’s POV“Son, what do you plan to do? the police are not helping at all and the kids are so worried about her as well.” My father said to me.“I really don’t know what to do father, I have tried but nothing is coming forth, I searched everywhere for her and the police say it’s as if she no longer exists, what do I do?”“I will say this, if the police are not doing what they are supposed to do to find her, why don’t you take out time to find out the clue yourself? You once mentioned she has a stalker, there must be something that can actually direct us to the stalker.”I listened to my father and I must say everything that he is saying actually makes sense, Gina once told me the stalker sends her gifts and letters of threats at home, work and her studio.“You are right Dad, there must be something that can lead me to the stalker, he or she will not be perfect completely, thank you so much, Dad,” I said to him and replied with a smile.I checked the house very well for an
Chapter 132Gina’s POV I was so happy seeing Liam and his father getting along, even when I brought the kids to Grandpa Leo’s mansion, they were so excited to meet their grandfather. I decided to leave the kids with him to keep him company and also allowed Mrs Sarah to be with them as their personal nanny.I knew they were in safe hands and I had great sex with him and I got inspired to paint.I was shocked when Liam bought me candies when coming to my art store I got for myself, “These are for you.” he said with a grin.“Thank you so much, my love, I really appreciate it.” I kissed him.“You are welcome, so how did things go at the company?” he asked me and I replied with so much joy saying, “Everything went perfectly well and having not much work, I decided to paint out my heart,” I replied to him.“So can I see this masterpiece you are doing?”“NO,” I replied with a lie to see his reaction.“Please, I might die at this rate if I don’t get t
Chapter 131Liam’s POVCandy whispered to me saying, “I can’t find Gina.”“What?”“We have been looking for her for more than twenty minutes.” She said.“Everything will be fine, let’s look for her,” Daniel said and I noticed the crowd were looking and wondering what was going on. Daniel had to buy a little more time by addressing the crowd.We entered the room in the hotel, Gina's things were still intact except for her phone, “Have you tried calling her on the phone Candy?” I asked and she nodded, “Yes, her number is turned off.”“What? What exactly is happening? Why does it have to be today.” I said in confusion.“You need to calm down yourself and trust me, we are going to find Gina soon and things will be back to normal again.” Daniel did his best to calm me down.My father opened the door and said to us, “Everyone is waiting and murmuring, did something happen? Where is the bride?”“We think she is missing,” Candy said to him and I noticed the fear in his eyes.“Father, I am goin
Chapter 130Liam’s POVI couldn’t say no to Gina when she told me about seeing my father again and talking with him. I never wanted to do that but she made me understand I should not stop the kids from knowing their grandpa and also that is what she wanted for her wedding as well, a complete family and not a divided family.“My love, it’s time to heal from your past, your father loves and misses you, you are his only son, his only child, his family, yes he must have failed you but don’t rebuke him, he is still your father.” Her words echoed again and again to my hearing.I texted Daniel about it and he told me she is right, it’s time to kill the childhood trauma once and for all. I took a deep breath and said to myself, “I will just go and see him, that’s all.”I prepared with Gina leaving the house the following day to pay a visit to my father at the hospital, at first I didn’t go in with them, I just remained at a spot watching and when it was time, I walked to them and seeing my da
Chapter 129Gina’s POVI was happy about my love still being alive, what would have been my faith if the reverse was the case when the fire incident happened? I still can’t believe Erick will stoop so low to harm Liam, he knows I love Liam so much and he is also the father of my kids, no matter what, why didn’t he think about my kids in the process? What would have happened to them? He making my qunituplets fatherless, I should have known he had such an evil heart within him. I thought he was a good friend and not the other way around.I decided to visit him in jail because ever since it happened I never went to see him because I was really bitter, but knowing he was there for me when I came to Paris, I can’t forget such kindness, I am not an ungrateful person.I sat down waiting for him and when he was brought out, I noticed he couldn’t look at me, “Why are you here?” He asked.“Erick why? Why did you do it?”He didn’t say a word as he was covered in shame and regret, “I took you as

Travis explained.“Oh no, this is serious, we need to go and see Daddy, we need to make sure he is alright,” Teddy suggested.“Yes, and that means we are going to tell Mrs Sarah and she is the only one who can take us to see Father at the hospital,” Theresa added.“Do you think she will take us there?” Tania asked.“There is no harm in
Chapter 127Writer’s POVGina passed out after the call and her phone fell off, “Gina!! Gina!!” Daniel screamed but he was no longer hearing her so he ended the phone call thinking maybe she wanted to call back.“Gina.” Candy screamed with the others and they had to help her and revive her, “My goodness girl, you scared life out of me just now.”“Liam, I need to get to Liam, I need to make sure he is alive and healthy, I need to see him.” She started crying out her eyes and looked like someone about to collapse the second time.“What about Liam? Did something happen? Make me understand.” Candy asked feeling confused.“Ma’am, please let’s take you to the hospital, I feel you don’t look too okay.” One of the workers said to her but she didn’t approve of it.“Take me to Liam, I need to see him, I need to make sure he is still alive.” She cried and Candy had to call Liam’s number immediately but it was not connecting at all.“What could be happening?
