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 22: My Decision
-=Melchoras's Point of View=-"Caleb, wait for me!" I said when he dashed to the bathroom without waiting for me to finish preparing what he needed."It's all right, pretty auntie," he replied.When I looked at Caleb, I couldn't help but break out into a smile. Ever since I lost Aidan in the accident, I didn't know how I could go on living my life, but because of Caleb, I found a purpose to live and continue with my life after the tragedy that had befallen me.I still feel anguish whenever I think of Aidan, but thanks to Caleb, I was able to survive, and I couldn't even begin to imagine what my life would be like if he weren't in it. Caleb saved my life. I can't thank him enough.When I exited Gabby and Caleb's room, I had no choice but to go past a large mirror, and as soon as I did, I noticed the scar that was located on the left side of my face.Because of my scar, I was unable to continue my modeling career; after all, who would want to hire a model with a face like mine?I made a
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 23: Hide and Seek
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Sir, you have an appointment with Mr. Cuerva this afternoon."Because I was preoccupied with other things at the time, the words that were spoken to me by my secretary almost did not register in my head. As a result of my distraction, I was unable to hear what she had said."Excuse me, sir?"This time, I was roused from my daydream by a gentle tap on my shoulder.My thoughts had always been clear and organized when it came to my work, but after I met with Gabby, they became a complete mess.I eventually made up my mind to do what I needed to do; I didn't believe I would be able to concentrate on work anyhow, so I told my assistant, "Cancel all my meetings for this afternoon.""But sir..."She gave the impression that she was going to protest, but she ceased doing so as soon as I gave her a stern gaze.She apologized on her way out, and I am confident that she will carry out the instruction I gave her.Since I went to Gabby's house and met her sister Melchor
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 24: Pervert Boss
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Did we miss anything?" I asked Mel when we finally got the last box inside the condo unit I bought in Makati after we left Davao.The other day, we left Davao because I didn't know if my heart could handle the fear that Jayden might see our son."Don't worry, we didn't miss anything; everything is fine," she said.After hearing her response, I decided to go to Caleb and my room, where I found Caleb busy looking at the pictures in the book he was holding."What is my baby reading?" I asked with a smile. I immediately moved to his side and enfolded my arm around his small shoulder."Dinosaurs," he answered while pointing to the picture. I decided to spend time with Caleb, but around one in the afternoon, I decided to get ready for my interview with Regina's employer.I already resigned from my previous job, so as of the moment, I am jobless, and I cannot afford to be jobless for a long time, so I was hoping I could impress Regina's employer and get hired by hi
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 25: The News
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I have been staring in the same spot for almost five minutes, which I frequently do now.Regina was with me in my room, and we decided to spend some quality time.It has been almost three weeks now since we left Davao, just to avoid Jayden, and even now, I still couldn't help but feel scared when I thought that if Jayden really wanted to know even little details in someone else's life, he could do that without lifting a finger.If that happened, then it was only a matter of time until he learned that I gave birth to Caleb, and with just one look, one could tell who is Caleb's biological father."Earth to Gabby," I was taken aback when someone flicked their fingers over my forehead, which is why I instantly looked at the person sitting next to me."Sorry, what did you say again?" I asked, and I saw her shaking her head because of my spacing out."Why don't you give Brian a chance? This was the first time I saw him really like a girl, and he seemed serious abou
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 26: Unexpected Event
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Mom, let's go," Caleb told me.It was a Saturday, and I decided to spend some quality time with Caleb and Mel.As per Caleb's request, we also brought Brian with us, who by the way, for the past two months didn't stop courting me, even after I told even him that he just wasting his time since my focus was on my family.Most of the time when our family went out to bond, Brian was always there, and I could see that Caleb was getting attached to him. It was like he was seeing Brian as a father figure, and I couldn't blame him.I could see that Brian really likes my son; he really cares about him, not just because he's courting me but because he really does care about Caleb, and I am thankful for that.I didn't realize the smile on my lips as I continued to watch Caleb run towards Brian, but I could see such happiness on my son's face because of my employer.When Brian learned that we were going out, he invited us to go to the amusement park in Laguna, and when
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 27: New Found Help
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Have you seen this kid?"I continued to ask everyone I encountered the same question, only to receive the same response each time.No one knew or saw my son, and it's been days since I began lurking on the street and asking other people if they had seen him.As a mother, I cannot sit idly by while my cherished son stays missing. Many thoughts passed through my head, particularly when I was alone, and none were reassuring.Since Caleb was kidnapped, it has been about a week, and the fact that I haven't been able to see my baby in all of these days is mentally and emotionally torturous.People who were close to me kept assuring me that everything was going to be fine, but I couldn't see how that could be the case as long as my son was still missing.The heels of my shoes are nearly worn out from all the walking I did; I needed to be able to cover a large area by asking people whether they had seen my son.I was aware that the police were conducting the investi

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
