Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 1: A Night of Seduction
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Hi there, gorgeous. Would you mind if I joined you?" I heard someone ask from my left."I apologize, but I'm waiting for someone," I answered with a smile, and I noticed how my smile affected him.Since I walked into this bar, I've declined so many offers that I've stopped counting them.I was able to gain entry into one of the country's most exclusive and difficult-to-access bars thanks to my connections.Therefore, the vast majority of patrons in this establishment are people of high social status, or financial means, or possibly both.Actually, I wasn't lying when I said that I was waiting for someone earlier when I was approached by those guys who were trying to hit on me.I was really waiting for someone, but it seems that I'm just waiting in vain.I've been in this bar for almost two hours now, and I've already drunk three glasses of orange juice since I don't really drink liquor.After thirty minutes had passed, my hopes of finally meeting that person
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 2: Abduction
-=Gabby's Point of View=-My face broke into a triumphant smile while I was riding in Jayden's car, and when I checked on him, I saw that he was still deeply asleep.I mean, how is it possible for someone to function normally after consuming bottled water that has drugs in it?Who would have guessed that it would be this simple for Jayden to fall into my trap and that all it would take to fool him is a pretty face? I could still remember what happened earlier. After a few minutes, when he drank the water I handed him."Are you alright?" I asked, trying to sound worried when I saw how drowsy he looked.I could tell that he was making an effort to fight off the sleepiness that he was experiencing, but I also knew that he was already losing the battle.He responded, "Yeah, I'm fine; I'm just a little dizzy," while he was still attempting to keep himself awake.He was probably under the impression that it had something to do with the hard liquor he consumed in the bar, but he was complet
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 3: Melchora Who?
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I was cooking while humming a song when I heard cursing coming from the second floor of the house."I suppose my guest is already awake," I thought to myself.When I thought of Jayden, the jerk who hurt my sister, I couldn't stop a smirk from forming on my lips.I'm guessing it's about time for him to find out that I'd tricked him, that he was tricked by someone like me, and that it would hurt his enormous ego to find out that I'd tricked him.I have just finished preparing our already late lunch, as it is already one in the afternoon.I did not anticipate that the drug would be so effective that he would sleep for more than eight hours.I took my time walking up to the second floor, where I could still hear the nonstop cursing from my "visitor".When I heard the things that Jayden was saying, I couldn't help but be scandalized. For crying out loud, I'm still innocent, and when I say that, I mean that I'm inexperienced or even better, that I'm a virgin.I hea
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 4: A Threat
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I didn't know what I'd gotten myself into. If it weren't for my friend's advice for me to relax since it was still two days away before my flight going to Macau, then I wouldn't be in this mess.I couldn't stop myself from feeling aggrieved when I thought that I was tricked by a girl. Who would have thought that she could pull this kind of stunt? I mean, for crying out loud, I'm Jayden Andrada!People are afraid of me, not just because of the power I possess; they are afraid of me because of my personality, and I still cannot accept that I was duped by someone like her!Honestly, I was surprised when a waiter approached me and handed me a glass of liquor, and I was about to tell him to back off since I didn't need someone to buy me a drink, but I stopped when he pointed to the person who bought me the drink.I felt like I was being hypnotized when I finally saw the alluring woman, sitting by herself.The word pretty is such a lame adjective to describe her,
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 5: His Request
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I think my heart was about to burst out of my chest when I finally left Jayden in his room.I don't have any doubt that he would do what he said about making me pay for what I lost him.To be honest, I didn't think about the possible consequences of my actions. All I wanted to do was to help my sister, but I forgot that all actions have their own consequences.I may be thrown in jail for kidnapping Jayden, or worse, he would probably hire someone to kill me, or maybe he would do it himself. Whatever his decision was, it only means one thing."I'm doomed!"I can't blame him because I would be furious if I had lost a potentially billion-dollar business deal.I hate to admit it, but honestly, I was feeling a little guilty but mostly scared, but I have to be strong, for him to pay for what he did to my sister.What the hell do I care if he's rich and powerful? He made the biggest mistake of hurting my sister.Just like the previous days, I tried to contact Mel, b
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 6: My Mistake
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I was awoken the following morning by Jayden's yelling in his room, and if there was one thing I hated the most was to be disturbed in my sleep."What now?" I thought to myself as I forced myself to get out of bed and annoyingly went to Jayden's room on the second floor."What now?!" I asked in so much irritation, but I suddenly felt wide awake when I noticed him sweating so much, so I thought that he was feeling ill. "Are you ok?" I asked worriedly, if something happened to him, then it was going to be on my conscience."No! I'm not ok! I need to go to the bathroom!" He answered, irritation all over his face.After finally knowing what he needed to do, I decided to put the key within his reach, and just to make sure that he wouldn't be able to escape, I locked the door before leaving.There's a bathroom inside the room that he can use to relieve himself, and while Jayden was doing his business, I decided to go to the kitchen and prepare our breakfast.I was
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 7: Mel's Boyfriend
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Hey, Gabby!" I was shocked when Regina, who happened to be my best friend and my workmate in the bank I was working at, tapped me on the shoulder."What the hell, Reg? Don't startle me!" I hissed at her."You asked me to accompany you, and yet you're spacing out. Hello... I'm right here," she said, looking at me incredulously while taking a sip from her iced coffee.We're here in a coffee shop near a mall where my house is, I would be returning to work next month since I filed a leave until Saturday, and since tomorrow is Sunday, we don't have work during that day, so instead of staying at home, I decided to call Regina to meet me here.When I got back home, Mel and her boyfriend had been long gone, and when I tried to ask Mel to come back, she said she would just return some other day."How is he?" I thought to myself, but was shocked when I heard Regina's next work."Who's he?" She asked as if she could hear what was on my mind, just like Professor X in X-
Mistaken Identity CHAPTER 8: I Never Forget, Gabrielle Crisostomo
-=Jayden's Point of View=- Jayden Andrada never forgets! I would never in a million years forget the mistake that stupid woman made toward me. What does she think? I'll let it slide since she admitted her mistake and apologized to me. I lost a billion-dollar account just because she didn't make sure that she was kidnapping the right person. When I got to the office that morning, the first thing I did was meet with Arman. Arman is the private investigator I hired to investigate the woman who abducted me, and I trust Arman to get the information I needed in a short amount of time. "Thank you," he said before leaving me with the file on that woman. "Amy, I didn't want to be disturbed," I told my secretary after calling her on the private line. I immediately opened the brown folder, where I immediately saw her picture. According to the report, her real name is Gabrielle Crisostomo, but she preferred to be called Gabby. I saw several pictures from the folder; she looks really dif

-=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
