Henry. I waited until everyone took a spoon of their food, and gauged their expressions before taking a little serving. I didn’t chew at first since I was still scared of eating this but I had to, seeing mother and Emily eat the go or with no complaints, I thought it must be nice and okay for them to eat it. And it was really indeed nice, it was better than the previous ones Emily had prepared before. “This tastes amazing, babe,” I compliment her earning a blush from her. I couldn’t help it, the food was nice and this was the first thing she prepared without getting spoilt. “Thank you, Henry,” she answered and I smiled as her cheeks got coated with red paint. “So Mother what brought you here so early?” I asked, serving another spoon of rice. “We will discuss this later in your study Henry, not here.” She replied without looking at me. I wonder what she wanted to talk about in secret. My eyes met with Emily’s who was already looking at me, I shrugged since I had no idea what m
Gwen,It's been a long day, and we've decided to go home. Mom insisted that we stay the night, but I was too excited to show Jasmine her room to have a sleepover here. Ryan called; he was almost there and would be at my place to see Jasmine before going back to his house, so I had to leave.Nina and Jade walked us out and promised to come over the next morning once they were done with school and maybe have a sleepover.Jasmine refused to leave her grandparents but after some promises she relented. “Bye grandma, bye grandpa!” She waved at them as we rode out. Mother and father eagerly waved back and Jasmine did that until we were out of the compound. “Where are we going now, mommy?” She asked as she let out a yawn. “Home. We are going home baby,” “Home? Is daddy going to be there?”“No baby, but Ryan would be there. You still remember Ryan right?” I asked, looking at her hopefully. Maybe she would remember him or maybe not. “Wryan, who’s that?” She asked and with how he pronounc
Gwen. Ryan left before we woke up and I got to know that because he left a note on the kitchen island. “Good morning baby.” I greeted her as I walked into her room. She was squirming and ready to get up from her bed. “Good morning Mommy,” she yawned and stretched her arms. “What do you want for breakfast?”“Pancakes and strawberry jam.” She squealed. “Alright. Come freshen up and we will get our breakfast ready in no time.” I helped her out of bed and got her ready for today's preschool. Jasmine was excited while eating and I wish to always see her this happy.“Time to go,” we left the house so we could get to her school early since my apartment was too far from her school. …..“Are you going to pick me up, mommy?” She asked as I helped her out of the car. “I will and we will also get some ice cream.” Her eyes lit up as I said that. “Bye baby,” I waved at her. “Bye, Mommy!” I stayed there and only left when she entered her school building with her teacher. I have just one
Gwen.I did the first thing Ryan said, call the police and I did just so. I gave them my address and in about twenty minutes they were here taking my statement they also tried making Jason talk more but the boy would not say anything so they let him be. “We will get in touch with you soon enough Miss Mars, but in the meantime, would you be kind to let him stay with you…” “Of course. That’s no problem at all, he can stay as long as he wants, but please help me find his family.” I begged. “We will do our best miss Mars,” I almost rolled my eyes at the name. Can’t they call me Gwen or Gwendolyn instead of Miss Mars?“Alright, good night.” They nodded and left my apartment. I closed the door and went to the living room where Jas and Jace were having a cartoon marathon. “Are you alright Mommy?” Jasmine asked as I slumped beside her on the couch. “I’m fine baby, just exhausted.” “Here,” her hand grabbed some popcorn and placed it before my mouth. I gladly open my mouth and let her
Gwen. I was lucky to wake up early the next morning even though I still felt like a walking zombie. I walked groggily to the living room and almost screamed when I saw a tiny figure lying on the floor. My eyes went to the time and saw it was just past six so what was he doing here this early? And on the floor?I went closer to him and patted his cheek to wake him up but discovered something strange. His face was cold and his breath was coming out slowly and was almost non noticeable.‘What’s wrong with him?’ Panic rushes through me as I think of the worst. He was fine hours ago so what could have gone wrong all of a sudden? “Jace,” I called softly tapping on his cheek. He did not shake, nor did he answer my call. “Jace, what wrong boy?” I asked worriedly tapping his face again and again. I picked him up from the floor and took him the the nearest couch, he still didn’t make any noise. I watched in horror and lost on what to do, what should I do. I have no idea, I do not know
Gwen. What the hell is wrong with him?He thinks I can give birth to a child and abandon him somewhere like I am such a selfish bitch or what. “You aren’t serious right?” I asked him with a duh look. He wasn’t seriously asking me this. Didn’t he think of his question properly before asking it? Julian's face didn’t change as he assessed me, “You tell me Gwen because I won’t sit still if you tell me this is your child you had outside your marriage but you were too ashamed to tell your husband, and now when you are both divorced you think it’s the right time to bring him back.” Gosh, how did he come up with such an explanation? “You don’t mean that right?” I giggled. He shrugged. “This boy isn’t my child doc Julian,” he stared at me skeptically. “I’m telling the truth Julian, Jason is not my son. I found him yesterday running around the place when I went to pick Jasmine up and….” He interrupted me. “And so you decide to keep him? Did you think of the implications this would caus
Henry. The morning was quite busy after that talk with mother left and I still haven’t seen her until now and that isn’t my business either. I tried not to think of what she suggested, I did but I could not help but think what she was suggesting was a good idea—for someone who is power hungry of course—but luckily that person wasn’t me. I am satisfied with what I had and wouldn’t get Gwen back because she wants me to, I am done being her toy she could control every single day. It’s time for her to know that I can’t do anything to help her with her bizarre claims.Emily has been Emily this morning, she has been moving up and down since morning and I can’t help but get dizzy with how quickly she was going about. She was looking pale and tired this morning and that did not disturb her at all. I heard the curse she let out as she threw up and when I went to comfort her and maybe help her hold her hair just as I do with Gwen she pushed me out, and told me not to come inside and see he
Henry. For the whole of the day, Emily did not talk to me nor even stare eye to eye with me and not that I minded anyway, I actually had some time to myself for quite some time. I went to my study to get some office work done, it has been long and I have really neglected my work. So to make use of the morning I stayed in my study since I did not have the energy to go to the company today. I was able to get some work done with the little time I was in here, but that quietness didn’t last long enough for me. Emily barged into my office. At least now she was looking better than this morning when she looked like she saw a ghost or rather she was the ghost. “I have a problem, Henry,” she started and took the seat opposite mine. What has happened this time?“What’s wrong?” I asked, trying to act as concerned as I could. “I have no idea what to choose. This designer I contacted has some really great designs and now I’m having a hard time choosing the one I want. They are beautiful but
