-=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
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Please! Let me go!" I begged as I tried to free myself while looking at his frightening face.He was still attractive, there was no doubt about that, but the way he looked at me filled me with dread.I have no idea how this happened, but I found myself tied to this bed, like the same bed you can find in a hospital, and the worst part of it all is that I was naked!He didn't utter even a single word but creepily smiled at me, and from the way he looked at me, I could tell that he was up to no good.Who would have imagined that such a gorgeous face could turn into a scary monster?No, erase that. He's not a monster, he's a demon!I admit, I made a mistake and deserve his revenge, but isn't this taking it too far?"What are you going to do with that?" I asked in so much fear.All the hairs on my body stood up when I saw what he was holding as it glimmered from the light coming from the outside moon."What do you think the use of a knife?" He asked dangerously.
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Where am I?"When I opened my eyes, I was confused to see a ceiling I didn't know.I tried to stand up but immediately fell back to the bed when I felt a pain in my head.I tried to remember what happened, and it just took me a minute to suddenly remember what happened.I was on my way to the hotel I booked while I was here, and I bought a bottle of water and drank half of it, and that's when I felt dizzy until I lost consciousness."I was kidnapped by a terrorist!" I thought to myself, thinking that it was terrorists who kidnapped me, not thinking straight if there were any terrorists in this part of the Philippines.I was panicking but couldn't help but notice the design of the room, which is two times bigger than my room at our home.The room is painted in a lush green color, which is pleasing to the eyes, I also noticed different shapes of leaves on the wall.In the middle of the room is a queen-size bed, which I was in at the moment.To be fair, terrori
-=Jayden's Point of View=-I couldn't keep the sneer from forming on my lips when I heard Gabby's scream.I have never uttered a word that did not come true, and I will make sure that Gabrielle Crisostomo will be mine.I don't know what that woman has that makes me want to have her, but ever since I laid eyes on her, she hasn't disappeared from my mind, On the contrary, I found myself spacing out and thinking about her.Just thinking about her brings so much lust to me that even now, I can already feel my member reacting as if it can't wait to get inside her."Shit!" I silently muttered, and because of the reaction on my body, I immediately went inside the house and rushed to my room.I decided to take a cold shower just to relieve myself, or else I might not be able to hold myself because of Gabby.I knew it wouldn't be easy for Gabby to yield, but just like I said, I would do everything to convince her to share my bed and make love to her.Once she finally agreed, I would make sure
-=Gabby's Point of View=- "I hate you, Jayden Andrada!" I angrily screamed, and because of this anger, I couldn't help but beat the poor pillow in my bed. I kept on punching it while thinking of Jayden's arrogant and yet handsome face. After beating the hell out of that pillow, I felt so tired, so I laid my tired body in bed while looking at the ceiling of my room. I really thought I could put some sense into his thick skull, but after my talk with him, I could tell that he was really determined to take me to bed. I still couldn't believe that he would go so far as to buy the bank I was working with just for his plan, but I shouldn't be surprised when I remembered how wealthy Jayden Andrada was. I bet it doesn't leave a dent in his fortune. I suddenly realized something. Now that Jayden is the owner of the bank I was working with, it only means that I need to look for another job or company, but I will think about it later, since my focus should be on how to get out of this plac
-=Gabby's Point of View=-A deep sigh passed my lips as I continued staring at the wide open sea. It was already dusk, but I didn't mind the heat.It has been a week since Jayden abducted me and brought me to this island, but since then, I couldn't find a way to escape this place. I tried looking for my cellphone with no luck, making me think that maybe my phone is not on this island.Ever since Jayden saw me with his phone and tried to use it, he changed, he became cold, and I felt like he was keeping his distance from me for some reason, like I betrayed him.I should be happy now that he is leaving me alone, but for some reason, his cold treatment is making me sad.I hate to admit it, but I miss his constant teasing, which shouldn't be the case.I continued to look into the void while taking a deep breath, but my attention was immediately directed when I spotted something in the distance. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief as the object progressively got closer to where I was, g
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
-=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
