James Pov...We were supposed to celebrate and enjoy the whole day but an unexpected twist of circumstances surprised us. I still can't digest what I just saw and heard! Jonathan Evans leaves his poor pregnant girlfriend to marry a big shot woman! Homer and I were not just pissed watching the news but the weight is on me. Of all the days that news fires up, it is my granddaughter's birthday. I know their relationship and still push through on the wedding because I love her so much for my son. If it's Jonathan's child then I'm willing to take that child in but I know it wasn't his. I know who Jessicas was that his father isn't aware of but I wasn't aware as well that her father was once hooked up with someone. The child was born farther the month they broke up! The media is harassing us already and I know Homer will take this matter seriously in his hands. I'm not scared of that because I know the truth!Everyone has their own goal and starting to unravel the truth. I get my keys a
Gertrude Pov...With just one word, everything flips insanely. That's the reason why I wanted to be kept hidden. It's not because I'm not proud of my parents. Because I want my personal life to be personal. When people know who you are, everything happening in your life is like a series of movies watched and monitored by everybody. Even your private life will be stalked whether you like it or not.I can't predict and stop all allegations against me unless I would find the solution or give them the truth they want. I want to do so but we are robbed of our privacy and attacked unprepared. I choose to keep my mouth shut for the time being while everything is under investigation but our safety is a must. When I went to the office I wasn't prepared for people who will ambush me on my way out. I thought I will lose my baby because of the stress and physical harassment I went through. I will come to her after I will gave birth. I will soon show her who the real queen is! For now, I will let
Jonathan Pov...I don't want them to leave but it's the only option I can save them from physical and mental harassment. I want to kill Jessica right now by burying her alive. Why is it hard to get out of his sight? She is mentally ill! What she did stealing Gertrude's rights was already beyond your imagination how cruel she was to her. They were friends but this is what she repay her.She wasn't contented with stealing her part and she manipulate me as well believing she was in love with me and the right woman to be my wife but it was all illusion. I should have listened to dad and mom rejecting her not once and twice. Now, I am facing the result of my stubbornness."I understand Jonathan what you feel but this is the only way. They will come back after this situation will cool down and fix." Homer enunciated his words. I can't help but keep on sighing deeply."Gideon will help her there and the nanny will go with her. Rest assured everything is fine Jonathan. We need to settle this
Third Person Pov...Everything went well before Gertrude leave with her two year old daughter though Jonathan couldn't cope with missing them insanely. They are still within his reach but he feels his heart was ripped from his chest unable to breathe missing them.To make it not too painful for him. His father-in-law didn't let him come to send them on their plane."Baby I always miss you and I love you!" Jonathan keeps on saying to his wife suppressing his tears and urges to stop them to leave."You are always in my heart, my soul, and my mind Jonathan. I will carry them with me always. I love you!" Gertrude replied before turning her heels to leave as well.Jonathan hugs Gertrude and his daughter one more time before they completely leave the mansion. Jonathan was torn watching the car slowly receding of his sight. He sobs quietly going back to their room. No one knew how he is behind those closed doors."I love you, Gertrude! I will make sure Jessica will pay for this!" He assured
Nathalie Pov...I was supposed to fly to Italy to meet the guy I found on a dating app. It was our first time using the app and we both click. I love traveling that's why I propose to go there but I didn't expect bad news to flank my family.I canceled my flight and run home. My brother needs us! I send an sms to my text mate that I can't come for some family matters. He understood and agreed as likewise, he has personal matters to attend to."I'm sorry Knight. I can't see you soon as my family needs me. Hope you understand. See you soon! - Hummingbird" I send him."Likewise, maybe we are not yet meant to meet each other but hoping that we can have a chance!" He replied. I smiled reading it before closing the app and taking a cab to go home. It seems he was a kind and appreciative man. Only a few men left had those good traits."Mom, dad I'm back!" I shouted lightly when I opened the main door."Nathalie in the kitchen!" Mom shouted back."Where is he? Is he okay?" I immediately ask.
Third Person Pov...Seconds, minutes, hours, days, and months slowly passed but Gertrude and Jasmine were still missing in the ocean. Though the timeline is already over to wait for them they still hold onto their faith that one day they will come and knock on their door alive!With two months passed, and Jonathan continue his everyday routine but he is a different person. Meeting him is difficult and he chooses people to deal with. It doesn't matter if it's Felicity or Evans's Tower. Working is the only way he thinks can void the pain and longing in his heart.Another three months pass without his family and he transforms into complete stranger. The news about his abandoned son was forgotten but he never forgot that! It was the reason why they suffered harassment and were drawn to losing them.Jessica was quiet thinking it was over to what she dropped like a bomb but Jonathan wasn't.Jonathan believes his family is just somewhere out there having a vacation while he cleanses the mess
Jolene Pov...Living in Hawaii was the sweetest dream I ever wanted. I didn't struggle much as I meet good people in developing my skills and parents to guide me. I didn't mean my parents weren't good people, they were. I just need to let go! In this place where you are alone and meeting people who consider you as a family is fantastic.In Hawaii, I wasn't bullied or played by anyone instead I was loved. The emptiness and longing inside my heart were filled with laughter, adventure, and undying memories. I used those moments I was hiding there to build my strength and conquer my weakness.Coming back was to make sure Jessica will live a living hell but fate has already plan stored ahead of me. Jessica is struggling for her life. I just didn't expect Adam will be bewitched by her again.Seeing my brother as well was a coincidence as I wasn't planning to divulge my identity yet but the inevitable was just around the corner. I've been here for a week already spending time with him. The fi
Third Person Pov...After two weeks the paternity test came in and as expected it wasn't Jonathan's. This truth put their families in chaos! The Cushe family was still in pain from losing their daughter and granddaughter and this truth spiced up their agony.Homer Cushe is a kind and supportive person but when betrayed it's dangerous! He can be evil and that's what's gonna happen.The next day Homer sets a board meeting to stop financing Ferrer University and that's not a good sign to Jessica's family but the bottom line of everything, Ferer University will become the property of Felecity after its downfall. "I know all of you were surprised by this sudden board meeting but I know some of you know me well and how I do my work fair and square!" Homer started as the board of directors was all sitting on their respective chairs. "We are sorry about what is happening to your family now but I'm sure there is a bright side to everything!" One of the board whom he trusted as well. "I beli
Jasmine Pov...My debut party was a perfect definition of a blast! I've been having a grand party since I was born, well except when I was kidnapped my poster parent did make it happen to be a princess though. This birthday was unforgettable as I am with my family and extended family abroad.My parents were busy working to provide whatever we need and this trip is definitely what everyone needs. I saw them leave my party like a teenager, I'm happy to see them laugh and play for a while.My party ended around 1 in the morning. I invited Some of my friends to come here. Auntie Nathalie said I can invite anyone that I wanted to be part of my cotillion.Matt is one of my closest friends that I met entering college. He's cool, smart, and handsome. He doesn't want boundaries but is respectful to elders and women. Some of our friends branded us as a couple but he just shrug it off."Matt thanks for coming!" I grind seeing him. He said he'll not come as he was busy and might his parents would
Jonathan Pov...The party was a blast and memorable for everyone. Couldn't thank my sister and her husband for making this event blissful.To see my daughter laugh, dance and smile was an unexplainable feeling a parent could have. It's already midnight and no one wants to stop. They still want to prolong the happiness and bonding.I don't know how my sister sent invitations that people keep on coming. The stage where her presents lay was already full yet the gift keeps on pilling.I didn't know my daughter planned to donate her present to the foundation. Her grandparents were proud of her and couldn't believe she is already trustworthy and a good leader. The way she thinks amazed her grandparents."You are always in deep thought hon! Is there something bothering you lately!" My wife asks wrapping her arms behind me."No love! I'm proud of our daughter! She is exceptional and smart." I beamed proud of her."Yes, she is honey! Never expect she will think that way! I thought she is still
Jonathan Pov...Time flies too fast and my firstborn is now a woman. Seeing her grow up and have her own plans makes me cry. Still remembering when she was just a little munchkin plaid on my broad arms. She's small and very delicate to carry, now she's a gorgeous amazing woman.She will still my little girl who runs towards me and needed me."Daddy!" A soft fragile voice screech behind me. I wipe my tears before facing her."Hi, my princess!" I beamed happily."Are you crying?" She ask worried."No! Im, not princess. I'm just happy to see you step up for another milestone. You are now grown up and soon you will never need me." I plummeted."Daddy you will always be my first man! What your thinking will never happen!" She specified assuring me. She's not little anymore. My heart ached but happy where she become."I love you, my princess! Always remember daddy is here for you! I might scold you or ground you but my love for is unconditional. You will always be my little girl." I enuncia
Nathalie Pov...After6 years...I just remembered getting married surprisingly and having twins after yet twelve years had passed. Jonathan and I leave away each other with our own chosen families. We are both busy working and managing our household. I found a good man who treasures a woman and I can't ask for anything else.We usually have a family reunion every birthday and other family occasions. Company events were minimal and w can't bring our families there. I told Jonathan to surprise Jasmine on her debut so we ask them to come here to Italy. Gertrude was once here, but since I married Gideon, many things changed. I also heard she has a boyfriend and we practically invited him.Jonathan is whining he is not ready to see her daughter being involved in a man but she is already a woman, not a child. Sooner Giovani will introduce his and the twins, they're naughty. I miss their youngest child. She's adorable like a royal princess but her temperament is different. I bet she got my
Jonathan Pov...After 5 years...Five years have passed and our lives changed! Nathalie and I have a beautiful family now. We are happy that we both found a beautiful family to share our endeavors in life. Our parents were once friends and are now friends and families.Nathalie has two twins in five years and Gideon was so happy. He rather chooses to spend the day with his family than at his office but he needs to work. Nathalie joined us in expanding and managing the Evans and Cushe Empire for our children. Our parents were the happiest now that we are settled and taking care of their business they hardly built with their sweat and great labor.Homer often visited us and was thankful that I was a good husband and father to my children after what he did but it's the opposite I am thankful that he forced me to marry his daughter. Actually, he saves me from hell.After what happened to Gertrude giving birth to the twins. I make sure she will not get pregnant again. I'm scared of losing h
Homer Pov...Jonathan is nervous pacing back and forth in front of the emergency room. Gertrude was sent there an hour ago as his water bag broke.Every tick of the clock is terrifying waiting for her birth delivery and Jonathan wasn't him anymore. His face is already contoured worried. The way he bites his lips and clenched his fist shows how scared he is!Since he arrived here, he never speaks. I'm also worried about my daughter. Giving birth to twins is risky and the babies were big. Every time my wife gives birth before I felt my heart slowly ripped from my chest worried and scared."Jonathan!" I tried to distract him. He suddenly kneels down scaring us. Thought he fainted or something bad happens to him. While we are helping Jonathan the emergency door opened. The doctor came out. "Evans family!" The doctor called. We all crawled near the doctor."The babies and your wife were delivered safely." The doctor beamed. We relaxed hearing that but. "Unfortunately we have a little pr
Jonathan Pov...When I saw my wife sitting on one of the tables in the garden of the resort, I doubted Gideon and Nathalie's gestures! As expected, they planned this. Been three months since their wedding and we are all busy with our lives. I'm busy working end to end while tending to my wife's and kids' needs. I sneak behind her and planted a kiss on her nape surprising her."Hey! Love where are they?" She beamed startled but smiled when she saw it was me."Hi, my lovely wife!" I chimed pecking at her lips. "Don't ask my love, I doubt this is a family lunch or dinner." I added pulling her inside. And just what I expected, they book 1 room just for us! He is really serious about what he said! Whatever Gideon! I mumbled in disbelief smiling. "My brother is just worried about you! I'm not much of help right now and you have a lot of work to do." My wife enunciated apologetically. She's right though, this is what you really feel when you are a family man and love your family. Famil
Gideon Pov...We were all busy after the wedding and I haven't had the chance to thank Jonathan. He looks unapproachable but it's the opposite. He once rejected my proposal earning some negative traits on me but the actual him isn't what we always see. After the incident, Gertrude was really forbidden to work normally and on her own. She can visit the office twice a week as my brother inlaw's order. He becomes more possessive and overprotective of her. Well, she's carrying two not one! If you meet him before, you will not believe The love he showed for his family. Before I will go back to Italy for a job, Nathalie and I talked to surprise her brother. Time to give him something to cheer up. He is a man full of commitment to himself without question or complaint.Work is spicing up rapidly and he is busy more than he thought. He needs my sister's help but she can't for now. He'd rather crumble alone working just to make his family safe at all costs."Love he really needs this! He is
Nathalie Pov...When I heard the news about my brother having twins I was astounded but in love.I thought Gertrude is planning something since they were apart for five years. My heart is thumping fast worried for my brother but her reasons were genuine.That will be the most beautiful gift he will ever have on his birthday. Unfortunately, accidents happen anytime and anywhere. It is unpredictable and inevitable.I understand how moody and emotional she was as well. I'm not emotional but lazy and always hungry. It's part of the pregnancy. This is her third time and not pregnancy is the same even with cravings. Some are disgusting and nasty.The night ends smoothly and we ended up starting our honeymoon in my brother's house. It was like a reunion and it's amazing and beautiful. There is no perfect family without a day of misunderstanding. The first day waking up on my bed with my now husband and the best part was in my brother's house whom we thought doesn't agree with us. Our huge a
