Henry. I jumped out of the car and walked into the house without waiting for Emily. I had a lot on my mind right now and no matter how many times I tried telling myself that what I saw tonight wasn’t real, I still can’t believe it. The glaring truth was there, Gwen wouldn’t have been in the ball if she was a nobody. She wouldn’t have gotten recognition from Mr Noah if she wasn’t truly the Mars heiress. How could this be? This wasn’t possible, Gwen didn’t act or show she was from a powerful family while we were married. Jeez, I had thought she was poor but now I know I was wrong. She wasn’t anywhere near poor, she was a fucking heiress. “Henry!” Emily called but I ignored her. I don’t have time for her tantrums tonight. “Henry!” She called again following closely behind me as I took the stairs to my room. I need to think, time, and know what was going on because everything is fucked up. “I’m talking to you, Henry!” She shouted again and for fear of her not waking Jas up, I st
Henry. Emily's eyes looked distant as she heard that, she had refused to say anything after hearing that I was getting impatient. She wanted to know what I was feeling and now that I have made it known to her, she went quiet. This wasn’t the time to become silent, we need to think of something— I need to think of something before it gets too late. “Emily,” I called out but she showed no signs she was listening. Her eyes were looking at me but they weren’t staring at me, they were distant like she was lost in her thoughts. “Emily,” I called again, this time I had to shake her shoulder. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at me, “what?” She asked. “You blanked out. What were you thinking about?” “Nothing much but I concluded after much thought.” She began. “And can I hear what you decided?” “I don’t think Gwen would do that.” She said. My brows pulled together, “do what?”“Do what you are thinking. She wouldn’t come for your company because think about it, her child is
Henry. The paper glared back at me as I stared at it like it was going to open itself and read the content in it. This should be a fucking dream, right? There’s no way Gwen sent this, this letter should be from someone else’s but not Gwen. “What’s in there Henry?” Emily asked, and my eyes snapped to hers. She was looking curious, the same expression was also on my mother’s face and that told me one thing. None of them knew what was in the content of this letter. “Nothing, I think it came to the wrong address.” I lied and quickly pocketed the letter. “Really? But our address is there and it also came from……” Emily stopped talking when her eyes met mine. “I said it’s nothing, Emily, so please let it go,” I said forcing a smile out. I pray she shouldn’t comment more on this or even get the hint that something was wrong. She looked at me for a while before nodding her head, “Okay. What would you like for breakfast?” She asked.I don’t think I can eat anything right now, not afte
Gwen. My day has been hectic and strenuous, from going to the university for the first time in years and feeling so out of place but I had to be there because this was what I wanted and then moving to my new apartment. Yup, you heard that right. Father got me an apartment that was closer to the school even though I didn’t welcome the idea. He said something about me being old enough to live on my own, and if we do get Jasmine then I can come over to the house once in a while. I liked the idea and so I went for it. Immediately I stepped into the apartment I fell in love with it and didn’t want to part from it, it was a two bedroom apartment with a kitchen and a living room. It was huge for one person but I loved it. It has a homely feel, and although father spent a lot in getting the gadgets in it, it’s reminds me of home. I’m done arranging the living room to my taste, all I need to do now is get my clothes in the wardrobe and then I’m done for today. Father also wanted to hire
Gwen. I couldn’t focus on anything after I had that call with Henry; I still couldn’t stop the exhilarating feeling in my stomach after speaking with my daughter for so long. And that wasn’t the best part of it, I was going to see her, my Jasmine is coming over and I have absolutely nothing ready for her. Shit!I rushed out of my room to the kitchen to see if I could come up with anything before she got here. I opened my fridge to find it empty; right how could I forget I hadn’t gone shopping I bluntly refused Father’s help when he decided to send some workers to go get my groceries. I shouldn’t have said no, now I have nothing to offer to my baby. Ding. Dong!The doorbell rang, and I froze, knowing Henry and Jasmine were already there. With sweaty hands, I went towards the door to open it and Henry and my baby were standing by the doorstep waiting for me.“Baby!” I called out excitedly and watched as she rushed to me, and I eagerly picked her up.Hugging her as if my life depende
Gwen. I dropped Jasmine consciously on my lap, since they came in she has refused to say anything to me not even her father, and that had been troubling me for a while now. I wonder if it had to do with me leaving her—or me being taken from her against my will—that caused this. I didn’t like seeing my child this way; Jasmine has always been chatty and she always has something to say but no matter how I try to talk to her she just wouldn’t answer. My eyes snapped to the man towering over us, with his blue eyes piercing into my skin. “What did you do to my child?” I couldn’t help but ask. I was curious, just a week ago my baby was fine but now I don’t even recognize her. His brow raised as he frowned,“What do you mean by that?” He asks instead of replying with a simple answer. “You know what I’m talking about Henry, what did you and your mistress do to my child? She was never this quiet and it’s quite alarming to see her this way, so I need to know. I need to know what you guy
Henry. There was this feeling inside you when you find your ex-wife acting like you aren’t important. I know we have been divorced but that didn’t change that we were once married and we had a daughter together. I was relieved after making that call, though she sounded hostile I was glad she shared her home address. And when I got here I wasn’t that surprised to see how richly the place was or how quiet it was to stay; it was a good place. Somewhere far away from the busy city and I liked that. When she opened the door and welcomed us, I was dazzled by her beauty. She was a beautiful woman no doubt and even though I didn’t let that known to her the years of our marriage I knew for a fact that she was a beauty.She was dressed in just blue trousers and a small white top; her hair was packed in a ponytail giving her a more youthful look. Her eyes met with mine and I saw that hateful look in her eyes, this felt different. Gwen has never looked at me like this before; the Gwen I know
Gwen. For a moment I thought something had possessed Henry, I thought he was someone else who had become a nosy bitch; someone who always liked poking his nose in things that weren’t his business. He doesn’t have the right to ask me any questions and we both know that. “What I do with my life isn’t your business Henry, you came here to ask some questions right? Now get on with it and get out of my house.” I snapped, not bothering to look at him. Henry is a big fool if he thinks he can get anything from me. “No, we are not done talking about this yet Gwen. I want to know who that boy was last night?” He demanded causing me to look at him. He wasn’t serious, was he? “I’m not telling you who he is Henry and for your information, he isn’t a boy, he is a man.” His face turned ugly when I said that. He looked pissed. “I didn’t ask if he was a man or not Gwen, all I want is to know who he’s!” He snapped. “Why do you care?” “Because I want to know who he’s so he wouldn’t hurt you.”
