Chapter 45Gina’s POV.I felt free not seeing Ace for the past few days I quit working, I guess by now he must have given up on me already, that’s one of the easiest things he could have done for a long time.I visited the grocery to get a few things when I saw an old neighbour of mine back then in high school.“Terry, is that you?”“In the flesh.” He replied with a smile.“OMG, so good to see you.” I hugged him and he kissed my cheek saying, “Same here Gina, it’s been years you know and you are not looking bad at all.”“Oh come on, don’t tease me.” I said with a smile curving on my lips when suddenly I heard Liam’s annoying voice, “Gina, who is he?”“Liam, are you following me?” I wonder if he also hacked my phone to get my location as well, that’s what he is known for, this is annoying.“I just asked you a question who is he?” He asked again.“Get lost, Liam,” I warned, gosh Liam is embarrassing me with his silly attitude. “You, stay away from my woman.” He said to Terry and Terr
Chapter 46Liam’s POVI hated myself for pushing Gina, I really didn’t mean to hurt the one I love, I just couldn’t control my rage and jealousy seeing another man around her and I wanted to show the bastard a lesson.“It’s not your fault that you are beautiful, he is just a psychopath who doesn’t know how to get what he wants as a gentleman.” The bastard said to me while leaving with Gina, I didn’t bother to stop them, I messed up big time and thought about it alone, I will say the bastard was right,I really don’t know the right approach to get what I want. I want Gina so bad but I don’t know how, I have tried all means and nothing seems to be working at all.I walked to my car and headed to my home without going to the company. I brought out the beer from the fridge and started drinking just to get high, I made a huge mistake today. What is wrong with me? Grandpa how wish you were here.“You are just being silly.” I heard Grandpa say to me.“Come on Grandpa, I was just trying the be
Chapter 47Gina’s POV“What are you doing here? I mean you should have called you were coming today.” I replied.“I wanted to surprise you Gina, are you angry I came around?” He asked.“No, I am not angry, just that you should have passed a call across to me or sent a text message that you were coming to the town,” I added not feeling that cool he just came home just like that.“Okay, I am sorry for not calling or texting, I just wanted to surprise my friend that I missed a lot,” Erick said with a smile.“Anyway, you are welcome,” I added not feeling too okay to talk with him because of what Liam did earlier. I still feel a little pain because of the way he pushed me.“Gina is everything okay?” He asked me and I nodded saying, “Yes, everything is okay, why do you ask?”“I asked because of the way you are behaving right now, I don’t like it, this isn't the Gina I know.” He said not looking happy.“Erick, how exactly did I behave that is making you angry?”“I am not angry, I just feel s
Chapter 48 Liam’s POV I had lunch with Daniel as planned and he said to me, “I guess Mariam is not ready to let you go.” “That’s her own cup of tea,” I replied. “So tell me, what do you plan on doing? Are you going to give up now? Gina meant it when she said she was going to get a restraining order.” “I know she can’t do that, she will never do it, I know she loves me so much and she doesn’t wish to admit the truth.” “How are you so sure that she is still in love with you?” “Because you can just walk away from your first love that easily, no matter how hard you try, it’s hard to forget about first love.” I took another bite of the chicken. “You may be right about first love not letting go easily but for someone like it, I doubt if that principle will work out.” “Hey!!” I yelled. “What? Are you going to kill me for saying the truth?” “No I won’t, I will let it go today because I am in a happy mood so just thank your stars.” I emptied the glass cup of water, “I enjoyed this lu
Chapter 49 Writer’s POV A few days earlier, Erick still in Paris finished one of his meetings very early and had a meal with one of his cousin's brothers named Larry who works in his company. “Cheers to better days,” Larry said lifting his glass cup and Erick did the same. “I am so happy everything is going so well.” Erick expressed how excited he was and they started eating when Larry asked about his crush. “What about your crush? I haven’t been seeing her around lately.” “She returned to Florida with the kids, her kids were so desperate to go to Florida, their smartness worked so well.” “You mean the country her ex-husband lives in?” “Yes, the kids have been wanting to go there for a long time and she finally agreed.” Larry's looks made Erick question what he was thinking because his looks told him something was totally off about his cousin. “I just feel for you, cousin, what if she reunites with her ex-husband when they encounter each other again? What will you do? You kno
Chapter 50 Gina’s POV “Gina, this is unlike you or did you by any chance come across your ex-husband? Is that the reason you quit? Did he trouble you?” Erick questioned with curiosity written all over his eyes to know why I really quit, is there any point in telling him the truth? “Gina, should I take it as a yes? You met with him?” “No, why will I quit because of my ex-husband? Even if we met, I will never quit because of him.” I replied and I knew the choice I made by lying to him would save further talks. “That’s a relief, hope he isn’t troubling you?” “Erick, why are you so obsessed about my ex-husband? I really don’t get it at all, you keep asking questions about him since I came to Florida, I need to know why?” I really want to know why Erick is always asking about Liam, I found it so strange because we aren’t lovers, just friends. “I am just looking out for a friend and that’s all, are you uncomfortable about it?” He asked taking his seat. “Yes, I am not comfortable wit
Chapter 51Gina’s POV“Hold on Candy, let me know the truth, do you have a crush on Erick?”“No.” She acted so weird even with her response, “Are you going to deny the whole thing when I can see clearly through your expression that you love him.”“I really don’t have a crush on Erick, why will I have feelings for him, it’s not possible.”“Are you still lying to me, I thought we were friends. Now I remember very well, you once told me the people you end up loving don’t end up loving you in return, were you by any chance referring to Erick?” I asked trying to place the whole thing together to get the perfect answers.I noticed she was shy to admit her feelings for Erick, the best thing I can do for her now is to tell her the truth, she needs to move on for good because Erick has eyes for another and I don’t want her to get hurt over and over again for someone who doesn’t have feelings for her or knows how she feels instead.“It’s fine dear, I understand you so well but if you will take
Chapter 52Gina’s POV“Gina, do you have feelings for me?”Wait a minute, is Erick serious right now or this is his new method of cracking jokes, if it is, then this is so funny, that I couldn’t control my laughter, I laughed out like a crazy lady, “OMG, you almost got me Erick, this is the funniest thing you have ever said to me.”“Really?”“Yes, why will I have feelings for you when we are nothing but friends,” I added still laughing.“That hurt you know.”“I am sorry, okay let me ask mine, do you have feelings for me too?” I decided to make it funnier.“You don’t need to answer because I know your answer is no, your heart belongs to your crush in Paris,” I questioned and answered for him, he just looked at me like someone crazy.“You think it’s funny?”“Yes, it is or is it not? Wait a minute Erick, do you really mean the question?” He looked at me for a few seconds and finally said to me, “Never mind, like you said it’s not possible so it’s cool.”“I knew it, I know you were just
Chapter 134Writer’s POVGina on the other hand was really confused when she discovered the person who took her was Drake, “Why did you do it? 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
Chapter 128Writer’s POVMrs Sarah was informed about what happened to Sir Liam, she wanted to keep it a secret from the kids but she had no idea one of them heard the conversation, it happened to be Travis, he was worried and rushed to tell the others.“Daddy was involved in a fire incident.”“WHAT??” They all asked at the same time.“If you are lying please stop it, how can you make such an expensive joke,” Trisha yelled at her brother.“I am not making up jokes here, I overheard Mrs Sarah and I am so worried, what are we going to do? remember he is our father and these past weeks we have not been treating him way because we are still upset with him. 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? Who called her all of a sudden tha
Chapter 126Liam’s POV “I will do that now because I want everyone to be happy and free as well,”“True.”“So you got this man, nobody is above mistake and you know that, so get things right again with your kids and Mrs Sarah, you are lucky grandpa isn’t here, you know what he could have done to you.”“You annoying grandson, such a spoilt brat.” I mimicked his voice and we both ended up laughing.“So tell me how are things going with you and Candy, are we expecting a wedding card soon?”“You are a jerk,” Daniel said to me.“Oh don’t be a brat and tell me already, when are you going to ask her to marry you? why the waste of time, you are not getting any younger, look at me now, I have kids.” I said feeling myself.“Wow, I just can’t believe you of all people will be the one advising me right now, you are a nutjob.”“That’s why I am only your best friend.” I tapped his shoulder.“You are crazy, I really don’t know how we are still friends till date, so about Mariam, what do you think
