Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 14: Should I Apologize?
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I was still in disbelief, and while I was looking at the determination on her face, I didn't expect that she would concede and agree to sleep with me, after what I did to her.I should be happy, right?" But why is it that what I was feeling was so far from being happy? Because the truth is, the guilt was eating me up from the inside.I felt guilty when I saw how terrified she was, and the betrayal that she might have felt when she realized that I had just fooled her.She must be shaking in fear when she thinks that she is in real danger, when all along I planned all of this.This is exactly how I wanted it to be, but it ends up making her finally agree to what I wanted.Is this not what I desired?I wanted to apologize to her and tell her that she doesn't have to do this, but instead, I nodded my head in response.I know what I did to her was wrong, especially because it caused so much fear in Gabby, but I don't know what to think anymore."Allow me a day to
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 15: No Regret
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I didn't know if I should regret telling Jayden, that I was already willing to give myself to him, but I knew it was already too late to take it back.I got to a point, where I just wanted to end this, and the only solution I could think of was to agree to his demand, to have sex with him, but just like they said, it was easier said than done.I'm still a virgin, for crying out loud, and I didn't know how to do it—well, I had an idea, but still, I didn't know if I could do it or not.I am aware that I shocked Jayden, but I am willing to guess that he was already rejoicing in the fact that he was going to get what he wanted and that he would be able to exact his revenge.When I realized that I was going to merely give myself to someone because he wanted to seek retribution for what I did, a bitter smile formed on my lips. I was going to have to let him have his way.One day, that is what I requested from him—just for me to prepare myself, mentally and emotion
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 16: A Beautiful Moment
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I woke up the following day with a warm and contented feeling inside me, and when I saw the still-sleeping Gabby in my arms, a pure smile of joy appeared on my lips.I remembered what happened last night, and everything was so surreal, I never thought I would feel like that, and it was because of Gabby.I bedded many women before, but none of those experiences made me experience this kind of happiness, it was only with Gabby, I felt this kind of contentment.My gaze was immediately drawn to the red stain on the right side of the bed, it is a sign that I was Gabby's first, and my level of bliss rose.I really thought that after I got what I wanted from Gabby, I would finally let go of whatever hold she had on me, but I was wrong.My cravings for this woman didn't go away at all; in fact, they became stronger. Now that I have a taste of these feelings and satisfaction, I can't tell if I can let her go anymore.I knew I promised that I would let her go, but the
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 17: My First
-=Jayden's Point of View=-Who'd have guessed that it's been three weeks since I finally admitted to myself that I have feelings for Gabby, that I love her, but that I haven't been able to tell her how I feel because I've been afraid.It's funny; who would have thought that the wealthy, successful, and confident Jayden Andrada could be this nervous and scared, because of a simple girl, a girl who managed to capture my heart?Who wouldn't fall for a woman like Gabrielle Crisostomo? With that, my eyes were immediately drawn to her."Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked when she noticed me staring at her.She was busy sending a text message to her sister, who was still in Thailand for a fashion show."Have I ever told you, that you're so beautiful?" As soon as she heard my question, her face turned bright red, which makes her more precious.She's so beautiful that she could get any man she wants, but she seems unaware of that fact, which makes her precious and genuine."You'r
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 18: Last Card
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Dude, you're drinking again?" I heard someone speak with an incredulous tone."Would you like to join me?" I asked in a bored voice.I didn't have to turn around to know who it was because I know that voice anywhere.He didn't answer and just took the seat next to me, and without saying anything, he poured his glass with the whiskey I was drinking."What's happening to you, Jayden? Ever since you came back from vacation, you've been drinking all the time," he asked, while shaking his head."You know what? It was all your fault," I could stop myself, but blamed him, and he looked startled by my remark.This particular friend of mine was the one who told me to relax and drink before my flight to Macau, and if I didn't listen to his suggestion, then I wouldn't meet Gabby, and this whole mess would not have happened in the first place."Nah," I suddenly thought, because, truth be told, I don't feel any regret about meeting and knowing Gabby."What did I do?" He
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 19: Her Reason
-=Gabby's Point of View=- I tried hard to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes; he shouldn't know that I was hurting. I could tell that I had hurt Jayden because of my decision, but I needed to stay strong, or else I might do what I really wanted to do, which is to tell Jayden how I really feel. When Jayden finally left, I let the tears finally pour from my eyes, and I felt like dying because of the pain I was feeling in my heart. It felt like a million needles were stabbing my heart because of the pain I was feeling. I know I will regret my decision someday, but I have to do it. "I hope you won't regret your decision, Gabby," I heard Mel say, who had been standing there for a while now. "I'm already regretting it, believe me," I answered with a bitter smile. I have never experienced pain like this before, and I have no idea when or how this anguish will go away—or even if it will go away at all. I have no idea. "I just don't get you; I could tell that you
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 20: After Three Years
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I took a deep breath while gazing at my sleeping son. Three years have gone by since I let the person I love most, the father of my child, leave, and yet I can still feel the need for him and at the same time the fear once he discovers the truth.After Jayden departed from my life, a lot of things started to happen. I decided to quit my job because it belonged to Jayden, and I was anxious that once my pregnancy became more obvious, Jayden might find out about it.Leaving was difficult for me, especially because my friend Regina was still working there.I am aware that my coworkers there were astonished, but nothing could stop me anymore. I also revealed to Regina the truth, and as expected, she did not criticize me for it.It's just a shame that she ended up moving to Dubai, where she has been living for the past two years.We decided to sell the house left for us out of concern that Jayden may return, and we moved to Davao, where I got employment."Aren't yo
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 21: Drum Set
-=Gabby's Point of View=- "Are you okay, Gabby?" I was taken aback when I heard Mel's voice. I was gripping my chest at the moment since my heartbeat was still too rapid. "He's back," I unconsciously muttered. She scowled suddenly at what I said, and when I remained silent, she chose to speak. "Who are you talking about? Who's back?" She asked, still looking confused. "Caleb's dad is back! Jayden's back!" I exclaimed, feeling so frightened. It took a couple of seconds before I noticed the confused expression on his face change to one of fright. "What are you planning to do now? Are you going to introduce Caleb to his father?" She asked. "No! Jayden shouldn't know about our son; do you know what he would do if he discovered that he has a child with me?" I replied, shaking my head. I didn't want to think about what would happen after he learned about Caleb; aside from taking Caleb away from me, all I could envision was his wrath, and the thought of it genuinely terrifies me. "Y

Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 48: What the Heart Really Wants
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"How are they doing?" I couldn't help but wonder how Gabby and Caleb are doing while looking outside the glass window in my room.It's been two weeks since I decided to leave, and these two weeks have been the most painful and lonely I have ever experienced.Honestly, I wanted to go back to see Gabby and Caleb, but I tried to refrain from doing it because I didn't deserve them.I still couldn't accept the fact that my biological father is my Uncle Jovannie.My entire life, I assumed that my parents were murdered by some random person, but it turned out that it was my own uncle who murdered them, and the worst part is that he is my biological father.I'm the son of a murderer. So how could I face Gabby and my son, knowing that I'm not worthy of them?There is another person I don't know how to deal with, and that is Jared, who lost everything that day and almost lost his life, just because of Jovannie's selfishness.Jovanie has been imprisoned, but the fact t
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 47: A Help from a Friend
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Where are you, Jayden?" I thought to myself.It's been almost a week now since we were rescued from Jayden's uncle, Jovanie, and since that day, he hasn't shown his face to us.I tried calling his cellphone, but I couldn't get through to him. When I asked Jayden's staff, none of them could tell me where their boss was."You still can't contact him?" I heard Mel ask.We were currently in Caleb's room in the mansion, while Caleb was busy playing with his toys, oblivious to what happened to me and Brian."Yeah, I think his phone is still off," I said, followed by a long, deep sigh.I decided to lay down my body in Caleb's bed, I feel so exhausted from all the worry I felt for Jayden."What really happened?" I heard Mel ask, and then I felt the movement on the bed.I decided to start by telling her about my decision to meet with Brian. I know it would be unfair to Brian if I prolonged his hope that I could reciprocate his feelings.I decided to use my own car si
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 46: Revelation
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I could still feel my body is still shaking from the shock I was feeling, so when one of my staff offered to drive, I didn't refuse, and let him.I was worried that if I insisted on driving, I might meet an accident on the way.And right now we are heading to the address that Rosette gave me, where she brought Gabby's belongings.I didn't even need to memorize the address she gave me because that address was so familiar to me.It's a resthouse in Batangas with three hundred hectares of land and a wide variety of fruit-bearing trees like mango and coconut.I've been there multiple times already, especially during the summer vacation when I was young, so I am quite familiar with the place.My mind is in complete disarray as I try to make sense of what is going on.It took more than three hours to arrive at the said resthouse, and my driver parked the car at a safe distance."We're waiting for your instruction," I heard the leader of my staff ask.I immediately
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 45: Accomplice
-=Jayden's Point of View=- I angrily wiped the tears that ran down my cheeks; no matter how hard I tried not to feel anything, it was as if my heart was longing for that pain. It hasn't been a day since Gabby left me, but the pain I was feeling was wanting me to kill myself. The message from Gabby's text still lingers in my mind, and I tried so hard to forget about it, but it feels like those words are already engraved in my mind. I can't stop thinking about what they were doing now that she's with my brother, Jared. I thought everything was going to be alright after what happened between us. I thought, finally, I'm going to have a happy family, but I guess I was just being delusional. I poured whiskey from the glass I was holding, but when I saw that it was not enough, I decided to drink straight from the bottle. I don't care if the bitter taste is burning my throat; all that matters to me is that it's helping me ignore the pain of Gabby's betrayal. A few minutes later, I hear
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 44: The Text Message
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Riot"That's the exact word that describes how my house is because since we got back from vacation, Uncle Jovannie has kept insisting that Gabby and I should get married, but I don't want it to appear that I'm just being forced or as if she's being forced into marriage.I want everything to be natural, just the two of us in a romantic place, and she won't expect me to suddenly propose to her, but because of Uncle's nagging, it looks like my planned proposal will be postponed."I really need to talk to Uncle Jovanie about it," I said, frustration written all over my face.I decided to meet Isahiah so I could just have someone to tell my frustrations to.As much as I didn't want to leave Gabby and Caleb, I think I need to get away to have peace of mind, just because of my dear uncle."You really should talk to him, or better yet, since he's insistent that you and Gabby got married, why not just ask for his help, so you could prepare a grand proposal," he sugg
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 43: Five Days in Paradise
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I quickly turned off the alarm on my cellphone, carefully looked at my family, and then I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed that my cellphone alarm didn't wake them up.It's only five o'clock in the morning, but I've decided to get up; I want to prepare breakfast for them."Good morning, Master Jayden," Celia greeted me when I saw her busy in the kitchen."Good morning," I greeted her.She was about to prepare the things she was going to cook when I stopped her. I just explained that I would prepare breakfast for Caleb and Gabby."It looks like you love your family very much, Master Jayden. Just call me if you need anything," she said, and then decided to leave me alone in the kitchen.Even though she already left a while ago, the smile on my lips didn't disappear.Yes, I love Gabby and Caleb so much, and I never knew that I could be this happy.I don't know if I could continue living if one of them disappeared from my life.I didn't notice the time b
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 42: Where it all Started
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"I love you too, Jayden. I will never stop loving you," I was stunned when I heard those words from Gabby, and even though I didn't want to pull away, I had to when she confessed her feelings.I feel like my heart will jump out of my chest while looking at the woman I love the most.I looked into her eyes, and then I saw the love she has for me. I was worried that I might die from a heart attack because of how fast my heartbeat is, but I didn't mind since she made me the happiest man in the world."The woman I love loves me back," I thought to myself as I continued looking at Gabby's face with so much love."Don't you have anything to say?" She said this while laughing, but I could still detect the uncertainty in her voice, which prompted me to speak again.Alas! No words passed my lips.There was so much I wanted to tell her, but I couldn't find the words. I gripped her firmly out of fear that she would question my sincerity."How can you still love me afte
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 41: Consequence
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"What do you think he meant when he said he was jealous?"I've been asking her the same question ever since we met, but still, I couldn't think straight."My God, Gabby! We had the same conversation, but are you still having doubts?" Regina asked me in disbelief.When Jayden and I had that conversation, I immediately called Regina to come to Jayden's house, and now we are together.Caleb has also fallen asleep, so I have time to talk to Regina."I know, but it's just hard to believe, I mean after all my suffering when I took Caleb away from him, he will say he's jealous as if he has feelings for me," I said frustrated."People make mistakes, especially when it comes to love. You hurt him by hiding your child," she explained."But still, you won't hurt the person you love if it's true..." but I was stunned when I remembered the day he asked me to come to Norway."Listen, Gabby, I like you; I really do. This is the first time I felt this way toward any woman, a
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 40: Just be Honest
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"This can't be happening." I keep muttering to myself, but no matter how much I deny it, the proof is right in my hands.Again, I looked at the reports sent by Arman as if the truth could be changed."Brian is Jared."The documents Arman sent confirmed my suspicions.According to what he gathered, there was an Australian couple who saw Jared when he escaped from the killer of our parents, and also according to the information that Arman gathered, they brought my brother to Australia, where he grew up.According to their testimony to the police, Jared did not remember anything, not even his name, probably due to the shock he felt at that time.I have longed for and dreamed of seeing my brother for so long, but I have mixed feelings now.I couldn't stop my hand from shaking when I took the cell phone out of my pants pocket, and I immediately dialed the number saved in my phone."What a surprise, Jayden," he said to me on the other line. I heard the joy in his
