Jonathan Pov...I know what I saw that day. She is my wife and I will not be mistaken about her though she dressed differently and she is a bit out of the league.That night becomes my nightmare unable to sleep properly and couldn't eat. My mind always wanders at her whereabouts!Gertrude, what happen to you? I know it was you but why you can't even recognize me? I've missed you so much! I let my tears fall down my face thinking of her and our daughter. How about the baby in her belly? Did it survive that cruel crash? Until now they couldn't know how a terrorist enter that plane.It's been a week now since I told my father-in-law what I saw but I haven't heard anything yet from him. I hope there's good news when he calls."Jonathan!" A knock stops my reverie."Hmn!" I sounded."Can I come in?" My sister asked still not opening the door."Yeah!"I look at her as she enters my room. I'm still in tuck in my bed lazy to get up. It's weekend and I wanted to stay in my bed the whole weekend
Gertrude Pov...My life was quite beautiful and enjoying the beauty of nature with my son. I never had a conflict with anyone and have friends until one day I went out for a walk and meet a strange guy calling me Gertrude. I'm confused! Who is he? Why did he call me that? I meet his desperate eyes and he was surely sure I am that person.I couldn't sleep thinking of him and who is Gertrude. I waited for a week to talk to John and I was surprised when he told me not to leave the house again! Why? Why did he make a fuss about it? I am just asking why someone is calling me that! I started to doubt my existence and back then he is not himself again.It's been two weeks since he ordered me not to leave the house and even forbid my son to go out. My son's life enjoying playing in the water and sand. He doesn't mind becoming tan like the other kids. Now that John forbids us just like that our life turns boring but inside of me is curious.After almost a month I went to the mall to buy some c
Homer Pov...Expect the unexpected but I expected it was her, my only daughter. I'm overjoyed to see her sitting in front of me. I don't know what to say or what to do same as her. I look at the person who brought them into my car and he shakes his head. Everyone is clueless about what is going on but we are going to work it out. What's important is, we have a grasp of her and a chance to know what happened that day.My happiness turns into loneliness as it dawned on me she don't recognize me as well but the little boy looks like his father again. It's no doubt that she is my daughter we've been looking for but where is Jasmine? I look into her eyes but she is clueless as I am!"Don!" I called the huge man I always trust on this."Boss!" He uttered cluelessly."Any young girl with them?" I ask him."We didn't see anyone boss. Only them and that guy who refuses to talk!" He replied. I nod to them to leave now. I trust him if Jasmine is not there. Where is my granddaughter? She is basic
Jonathan Pov..When Homer called I don't have the appetite to respond but I have to. He's my father-in-law!I sleep early to calm myself before visiting them. I don't want to look like a pitiful pup in front of them though I am really pitiful.I just brought water with me as I jog at the village before going to their place.When I reached the Cushe village I sighed deeply and checked myself before driving in. The guards are familiar with my car already and I don't have to stop and be asked.I was supposed to press the doorbell when it opened as if they were really expecting me to arrive at this hour. I followed the maid towards the kitchen. I almost stumbled surprised to see the people sitting at the table.I couldn't move frozen to where I am standing looking at them stunned."Sir Jonathan!" The maid called shaking me a bit as I was still appalled and couldn't move."Sir!" Her next sound made me move unsteadily as my tears started to fall down my face. I'm speechless reaching the tab
Gertrude Pov...The closer I look at him for a longer time the more I am sure of what I am feeling. The distortion of his face hiding his pain is crushing my heart and bleeding like hell. I want to hug him to ease the pain he is feeling right now but I'm scared he will freak out. The last time he touch me I was the one who freak out scared.He eat quietly even though he can't swallow his food trying to catch a glimpse of us but he couldn't resist his emotions. He chooses to leave quickly to breathe as it's suffocating just hearing our utensils clutter and our ragged breathing.When dad followed him I can't resist following as well. I'm surprised to see John in the living room but what surprises me the most was Jonathan's reaction. He was mad clenching his fist as his face turns dark.I followed him outside to comfort him but I don't know how to reach him not to get pissed. The first word that came out of my mouth is I'm sorry!I really cried 'coz I feel his pain and it's hurting me bu
Homer Pov..I was shocked to know that Jonathan has another side of him. I just saw his feminine side. It was my first time seeing him furious like that knowing he is in my place not in his house. That blow he threw at him is painful. He really loves my daughter to get mad like that. I was right to choose him for my daughter.I just followed him with my gaze when he pulled Gertrude and Joseph away from my sight. As he said he will watch him and I'm sure he will. I also miss my granddaughter. I need to support him to get back my granddaughter. When they left I ordered them. To send him. Back to his home but watch him intently and follow Jonathan's order. John sighed helpless and hopeless. It's the price of what he has done. Five years of their lives were missed because of that accident caused by him. "Sir how about my family." He asked worriedly. "We are not cruel like you. You can visit them anytime you want. I can't believe you hide that from my daughter. You don't know how much s
Gertrude Pov...I admit shaking in fear when Jonathan was furious he become a different person. I can't wait to gain back my memories. I want to know how he is as my husband. John admitted that I was not really his wife and that pisses him especially when he said he forced himself on me when I am under the influence of drugs he used. I want to strangle him to death. I didn't know that happens until now. I admit to being difficult when he is initiating. I don't feel anything that's why now I understand why. He is not my real husband.He dragged us into my room. He opens the cabinet and grabs his pants and shirt. It was on the left side of the cabinet. When he comes out he was already clean and fresh. His smell is intoxicating invading my senses. I didn't feel like this towards John that's why he locks me up at home so no one will see me. If I did not go to that park that day, I didn't meet him and be here. I was neglected with my rights. "Daddy can I sleep!" Joseph ask. "Sure sweethe
Gideon Pov...When dad called about my sister the first thing that came to my mind is if she was okay! My sister is not just a sister to me. I love and cherish her. Her happiness and safety is my priority. That plane crash was the biggest nightmare that shutters us! If I could turn back time I should have rented a private plane to fetch them.I was fucking ecstatic to see her again after five years! I forgot she was married. She has her own family to prioritize before us. I almost called Allen to tell him the big news. Jonathan hates Allen so much. His jealousy is incomparable. I'm just sorry for Allen, my sister is in love with Jonathan. He is a flawed man but when it comes to his family I had no comment.I locked myself in my room as she was still locked in their room. I want to check on her but I restrain myself. I might see crocodiles if I'm not mistaken and that would be the last thing I would see about them.I didn't know I fall asleep. A soft knock woke me up. I look around and
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
