Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 34: For My Son
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"I assure you your mother will come," I said, stopping my teeth from chattering as I said that. I hate lying to my son since I know it won't actually happen, but this is the only thing that will calm him down, which becomes less and less effective as time passes."I want to return to my mommy, so please let me go home," I saw tears in my son's eyes as he uttered those words, and I couldn't help but feel hurt since I knew he was suffering. Seven days have passed, and it appears that my empty promises are no longer effective."However, Caleb, this is already your home, and I am your dad; do you want me to buy you more toys?" Even though I couldn't help but panic, I tried to calm him down."I'm going back to mommy," he said, sobbing.I didn't know how to soothe him, so I just held him tightly, as if he would lose his desire to be with his mother. This is how to be a father; it hurts more to watch your child in pain.I was scheduled to meet a very important clie

-=Gabby's Point of View=- I softly stroke Caleb's hair as he sleeps calmly; after crying his eyes out, he has finally calmed down. I couldn't stop crying when I saw Caleb again, and it only became worse when he started crying as well; from the way he hugged me, I could tell he misses me terribly. "You may proceed directly to your room," Jayden's voice astonished me because I was so focused on Caleb that I did not notice he was also there. I felt like I was being hypnotized while looking at the man I loved. I didn't have to strain to see his handsome face—the face of the man I love. I took a moment to check my emotions and realized that I still had feelings for Jayden, but based on the way he looks at me, I can tell that he has no feelings for me whatsoever. If there is one emotion left, it would probably be anger after I hid Caleb from him. "I... I still want to stay here with Caleb," I answered, and I immediately looked back at Caleb's peaceful face. "It's up to you," he said

-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Shit!" I silently muttered while driving the car.When I noticed Gabby trying to hold back her emotions, I kept urging myself not to be affected, but it was like a broken record player that kept playing in my head.I shouldn't be affected, especially considering that's what I really want—to hurt Gabby—but it seems as though I am also being hurt, and I don't understand why.It didn't matter how hard Gabby tried to keep the tears from falling; the trembling in her voice made it clear that she was experiencing deep feelings.I tried to keep my concentration while driving, but Gabby's reaction continued to haunt me. I was too absorbed in my thoughts to know that my son had been calling my name, so I was surprised when Caleb touched my arm."I'm sorry, Caleb. What's wrong?" Just as the traffic light turned red, I asked him while staring at him attentively.I saw the sad expression on my son's face when he said, "I want to be with Mommy," so I instantly started t
Last Updated : 2022-12-24Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 37: High and Mighty
-=Jayden's Point of View=-Two weeks have passed quickly since Gabby moved in with Caleb and me.While Gabby is at home, I prefer not to be at home, and if I want to be with my son, I have my assistant pick him up.I knew that this would happen. I invited her because my son needed his mother, but because of what was happening, I couldn't give my full attention to my son."You're drinking again?" I heard a voice behind me, and even though I didn't turn around to see who it was, I knew that voice very well."You know what? This is entirely your fault," I said to my best friend Isahiah. I didn't even bother to look at him, and I just continued drinking.I'm still at work, and even though office hours have already ended, I'd rather stay and go home when it gets late."What did I do this time?" He asked irritably, sitting closer to where I was sitting.I didn't respond; it was up to him to ponder what he had done to make me this way.I wouldn't have gone to that bar and met the woman who r
Last Updated : 2022-12-24Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 38: My Outburst and His Outburst
-=Gabby's Point of View=-Days passed until it had been a week since our stroll to the mall. I didn't expect that they would come back to me so I could come with them, but they did, and it was because of Caleb's request.I could say that Jayden was willing to grant any of Caleb's wishes, as long as he wanted them, and even though he despised me, he still chose to grant Caleb's wish.But after that, I noticed that Jayden was intentionally avoiding me, and I kept telling myself that maybe it was for the best that we wouldn't see each other that much."Good morning, Caleb; let's have breakfast."My son didn't want to get up yet, so I thought of tickling his belly, which resulted in his room being filled with laughter.I fixed our bed and helped Caleb before we headed to the dining room, where the food was already reserved.As usual, it was only me and Caleb at the dining table. I tried to feed Caleb, but he refused, saying that he was already a big boy."Ok, Mr. Big Boy," I said, trying
Last Updated : 2022-12-26Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 39: Insecurity
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Shit! Shit!" I didn't think I could say that, so when I found out that Brian was at home, I immediately fled the office.I was feeling very jealous at that time, so when one of my staff members called me to inform me that Gabby had a guy for a visitor, different scenarios were running through my head during that time.I just kept driving without really having any kind of plan for where I was going. When I finally chose to pull over and park, the sun had already fully set by the time I realized that I was heading to Antipolo.I made the decision to leave the car and head to a secluded area of that area. I frequented this area when I was a college student and wanted to get away from all of the obligations that are now on my shoulders.From afar, I can see the lights on the houses below, getting ready to start their night: a mom preparing dinner, a dad who just got home from work, and their children who just got home from school.When people look at me, they s

-=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

-=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 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
