Henry. I wanted to believe Emily when she said Gwen was stalking me, because no matter how I try to tell myself that it wasn’t true I just can’t come up with anything. The question in my head troubling right now was; how was she able to get in? I mean, this is an elite party where a ‘nobody’ is allowed in but she was here. Dressed in a body-fitting dress that show all her curves and damn was it my eyes or does Gwen look more sexy and beautiful in that dress. She looked sophisticated like a goddess, so beautiful that she was the attention of all men at this ball which I hated. I hate that she could grab these men's attention and that makes her a queen. She was so beautiful that I am seeing her in a new light, this Gwen wasn’t the one I married years back. She looked different, colder, and had no love in her eyes when looking at me. I have always seen the love in her eyes when she looked at me but now all I could see was hate. The deep dislike she has for me and the hatred seem to b
Henry. “I was just introducing you to Ms. Mars here but she told me something surprising.” He wasn’t smiling any longer. His face was cold as cold and I couldn’t help but wonder what Gwen would have told him. My eyes flickered to Gwen who was acting like she hadn’t done anything wrong. “What would Ms. Mars get to say about me?” I asked trying to force a smile out. “That you both knew each other for a long time now and that you are also her ex….” I blanked out after hearing that. “She told me you were her ex and the one who made her miserable for years Mr Henry.” I looked at Gwen who was still smiling and her eyes twinkled at seeing my misery. “I….don’t know what you’re talking about Mr Noah?” I let out a low nervous laugh. It should not be Gwen who had told him we were once married because if she did then it meant that I’m losing this deal and if Gwen and Noah are telling the truth about her being the Mars heiress then I’m done for. “Oh, I believe you know Mr Henry, you know
Gwen. The expression on Henry’s face was worth it, it was worth every bit of pain I had passed through in his hands and I couldn’t wait to see that of his mother. I wondered how shocked she would be seeing me this way and not as she had viewed me to be. I felt scared as we walked to the podium but with Ryan by my side, I had nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Noah gave me a light hug and peck on my cheek as I got there. “Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Gwen Mars, heiress to the Mars empire.” He introduced me once again resulting in yet another episode of applause. “Thank you,” I told him and he smiled. He shook his head as if telling me it was nothing. “This is your chance, Gwen, show everyone in this room that you are bold enough to face this especially your scumbag of an ex and his mistress,” Ryan whispered in my ear, and from his position one would think he was kissing me. I would like Henry to see this. I took in a deep breath feeling energetic after hearing Henry’s make and the fear
Gwen. The driver stopped at a restaurant, and Ryan opened the door for me. “This way Gwen.” He held my hand as we walked into the familiar restaurant. It was the same place we ate after meeting for the first time the day Henry drove me from his home. “From the look on your face, I can tell you already know where we are?” My head was whisked to his side, he was smiling. “I do.” I won’t forget how kind he was that day. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know what would have happened to me. “Okay, so I did not bring you here to run down memory lane. I brought you here to have dinner with me because I saw how much you liked their food served here the other time and I have no reason to impress you.” He explained and all I did was nod. We walked in and were offered a table, I noticed there weren’t many people in the restaurant. It was so late but they were still open. It was a good thing for those who don’t come home early, they can get a place to hit dinner instead of going to bed with a
Gwen. “Papa? Aren’t you sleeping yet?” I asked then took the seat next to his. “No, I arrived not quite long ago and found out that you weren’t back yet. So I decided to wait for you.” He explained while I nodded. “So how was it?” He asked. I smiled at him, “It was fine, though some didn’t believe you have a grown-up daughter like me. I had to explain myself the whole night and with Mr Noah’s help they had to also believe I was real.” I explained the night was stressful. “Is that all?” He asked, my head snapped to his side. My brows furrowed as I nodded. What else is Father hoping to hear?“You didn’t see him tonight?” He questioned. “Who papa?”“Your ex-husband? You didn’t see him tonight or didn’t he show up?” Henry, he was speaking about Henry. “He did show up and yes, I saw him.” “And what was your reaction?” Okay, these questions were getting too much. He looked at me before asking again, “I mean were you happy when you saw him, Gwen? Did seeing him bring back any memo
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

Epilogue. Henry. A little body jumped onto the king-size bed, waving the mattress and waking me up from the deep sleep that I had been engulfed in. The fucking hell. I need no one to tell me who it was. I snapped out of my sleep just as Gwen burrowed further beneath the comforter in her deep sleep. I tried to hold her before Nate jumped on the bed but yet again I was late. Jesus! He always do this every morning and I'm tired ot correcting him everytime. “Nate,” I called. “Papa, wake up, wake up,” Nathaniel sang jubilantly and then crawled towards me while dressed in his SpongeBob pajamas. It's his favorite pajamas. “It’s Saturday which means cake time, mommy. Wake up,” he said again but unknown to him, Gwen was too deep in his sleep to notice anyone. Crazy pregnancy brain. I swear. She wouldn't hear a thing. Also unknown to Nathaniel, he failed to notice the giant lumps of his twin under the comforter wrapped around Gwen’s body. I sighed when I caught the s
Gwen.I couldn’t believe what was happening, one time I was angry at Henry for driving me out of the room and the next I was walking down the hallway then stopped all of a sudden because of a huge pain that hit me.And then something wet ran down my thighs, I couldn’t believe I’d just peed on myself. But after another wave of painful contractions hit me again, I knew this wasn’t about me peeing on myself, my water just broke.And let’s not talk about how Henry suddenly froze after I told him about it, I mean the man wasn’t moving at all. He was just staring at me like I’d just turned into a big alien all of a sudden.“Henry!” I called harshly, squeezing his hand tightly to pull him from wherever his head was at but that didn’t work.I groaned when the contraction hit me again. Calm down Gwen, you have gone through this before.Breathe in and out, breathe in and out.Yes, that’s it, you are doing fine……Argh.“Henry, please say something baby,” I called, hitting his hand.He blinked but
Henry.We have been in Maldives for a while now and as much as I want to stay here with Gwen for a very long time, I couldn’t. We have a life back at home and I could tell Gwen was missing the kids and our families.So after staying for about a month—left to me I would stay here forever, we returned home and went back to our new life, only that I didn’t want Gwen to work.She always looks exhausted after coming back from work. She was having a tough pregnancy and I wanted to do everything for her. So even when she requested going back to work even though she wasn’t fine I had to say yes so I wouldn’t stress her out. Doctors advise.But for safety purposes, I got her secretary Alice to always keep an eye on her. I even made her stay in the same office as Gwen and made sure she called when she wasn’t fine.Gwen was strong, she was always there for me and the kids. She has a kind heart, she is different from every other woman and I never regret getting married to her.She’s my lifeline,
Gwen.One Week Later.It had been a week since Ryan died and everything had gone back together, even though he kinda spoiled my wedding, I was glad Henry and I did exchange our rings and vows before his appearance.It has been a week since we got married and I still can’t believe this fine man sleeping beside me was my husband. Again.I couldn’t get enough of him, he was too unreal to be this handsome. To me, it was a crime for someone to be this cute and handsome at the same time.I couldn’t take my eyes off him as he slept soundly beside me, it was day two of our honeymoon phase—yeah you heard that right, Henry wouldn’t let it go.He said he wanted an alone time with me in a different country and place so three days after our wedding and after Ryan’s death, we left the country for Maldives.Henry had already gotten the reservation and everything ready before coming, so it wasn’t difficult for us to settle down.I could remember how horny Henry was as soon as we entered our room, he
Gwen.“I have a question for you baby,” he started but I still didn’t look at him. He shouldn’t ask me anything when I’m still mad at him. Everything that happened today was a mess, though I have an idea about it that doesn’t mean I was ready for the drama Ryan was bringing with him.I wouldn’t lie that I wasn’t scared when he held me with that knife pointing at my neck, I was scared out of my mind that any movement would get me killed. I was scared but after seeing the reassuring look in Henry’s eyes I knew everything was going to be fine. More reason why I didn’t panic.“Tell me, apart from hearing your mother talk about Ryan, did you hear something else?” He asked and I kept quiet.When I noticed he wouldn’t stop asking until I answered I shook my head.“What if I told you that everything that happened today was planned?” He asked, dropping the bombshell.I froze after hearing that, he didn’t just say that.I couldn’t say anything, in fact, it felt like I couldn’t hear anything fro
Henry.The gunshot sounded in the room accompanied by Gwen’s scream and I watch, I watch with satisfaction how it went straight to the fucker and hit his chest. I rushed forward and held Gwen in my arms, protecting her from the bastard's blood. The loud thud of his body dropping on the ground and the heavy sound of a boot on the sand told me everything went well.I looked behind me and saw Ryan trying to catch his breath with his hand on his chest like he could stop the blood from coming out. I took my eyes off him as my men took him out.“Are you alright baby?” I asked, looking down at my wife who wasn’t moving in my arms.I pulled from the hug and stared at her, her eyes were open but she wasn’t saying anything.“Talk to me baby, are you alright?” I asked worriedly while searching her body for any injuries. I hissed when I saw a scratch on her neck, it must be from the knife.Gwen blinked and then as she had just snapped out of her thought she held my hand, staring at me with her be
Henry. “You want me right? Just me?” She asked and he smiled. No. “Now we are talking, yes I want you. You should know that for a long time now I have always wanted you even though you are already mine,” he said.I groaned as I flexed my jaw muscles. How delusional could one be to think someone who isn’t in love with him is his? He must be mad.“Right, then let them go and just take me,” she said.I blinked and looked at her in disbelief, she didn’t say what I think I just heard right?“Gwen…” I started only to get interrupted by her.“Take me instead and don’t hurt any of them,” I could feel my bliss boiling as I heard her repeat the same words.She shouldn’t agree to his terms, he was only above us because he was with a gun. I fear he would shoot if I decide to attack him and that is what I do not want. Someone might get hurt.Ryan paused, he did nothing, said nothing but only looked at Gwen with suspicious eyes.“You are being way too easy Gwen, tell me what do you have planned?
Henry.I knew he would be here, I knew he must have gotten a whiff of the wedding and where it would be held. I had everything planned to capture the bastard if he gets here but I never thought he would be this early, never thought he would come and spoil my wedding.The bastard was really getting on my nerves.I looked at Gwen who stood frozen beside me, her eyes wide open as they stared at Ryan in shock. I know what she is thinking right now, she couldn’t believe he was here, and not only that he also had a gun.The whole place was completely quiet as Ryan took slow steps inside, he had a huge grin on his face while taking in everyone’s reaction.“Good day people, I bet you are all surprised to see me here?” He asked but no one answered.I glared at him while trying to bring my phone out discreetly. I quickly typed and sent a message on it after making sure he wasn’t looking.I slipped the phone back into my phone pocket after doing that.“It’s very rude of you guys not to invite me
