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
Gwen. It was three days after Jason got sick and during that period I made sure I was with him at all times, making sure he had whatever he needed. And at the same time I had to get Jasmine ready for her preschool—at times get Ryan to take her there—or I did and let Ryan stay here. I also have online classes I attended, but overall it has been wonderful. I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for Jasmine and Jason when I heard the bedroom door open and little Jason came out. He was looking healthier than the last time when I saw him and brought him home. His color was no longer pale and that made me happy. He held the Superman toy I got for him as he made his way to the kitchen. “Good morning Jace, how was your night?” I asked with a smile on my face. “Good morning aunt. My night was fine,” he replied and stopped when he got to the kitchen island. Of course, I knew what he wanted me to do since this has been our routine for the past three days now. I stopped what I was doing a
Gwen. I was busy the whole of today, I had a very important class that I could not miss. A meeting with father later in the afternoon, a meeting with Henry so we could discuss how Jas can be with both of us. Finally, after dragging my ass back for a few days I decided to give him an audience because I thought it was overdue and he hasn’t seen his daughter since that morning. Ryan called earlier regarding information on Jason and I was happy to know the police had found a clue about his parents and they were trying to get in contact with them. When he said it would be hard, I thought his family must be far far away or even too poor not to own a phone but I guess I was wrong. I wasn’t certain yet but I was sure Jason wasn’t an ordinary boy, he must be from some kind of powerful family. But I wasn’t sure yet, I will know more when his parents have been contacted. I had dropped Jas and Jason off at the preschool—the teacher was kind enough to accept Jason for some time even though he
Gwen. He should have thought of the consequences of his actions while he was doing them. I had no bad mind for him or wanted to take his daughter from him either. He should accept this and stop complaining. “Look Gwen, I know that you are mad at me for doing what I did but please think this through. You can’t do this,” he said. “I did Henry and that’s what you are seeing in that paper. I spent sleepless nights thinking about what I could do to help you, and what I can do to bring you closer to our daughter instead of pushing you away. And I came up with that; I think you should agree with me on this. Two days with Jasmine is enough for you,” I explained. “It isn’t! What am I supposed to do with her in just two days?” He asked. I looked at him ridiculously, putting my hands on my lap, and shrugged. “You can do anything you want with her in those two days, I won’t interfere Henry, and besides why are you complaining when you have your mistress by your side? Emily is there to keep
Henry. I see the moment she shuts down her emotions, the moment she decides not to feel or hear anything I say. Gwen thinks I know nothing about her, she thinks I have no idea about what type of person she is. She’s wrong, I have lived with her for years while we were married and I know the kind of person she was; she was kind, soft-hearted, and sweet and though she had those amazing qualities I still didn’t see us belonging together. Even though I did not stay in the house with her much while we were still married, I knew a few important things about her. Yet, what I noticed right now was that she had stopped herself from feeling anything when I was around. She put on the mask like she didn’t care if anything did happen to me but deep down I know she did care. The Gwen sitting before me now was a totally different Gwen from the one I knew before. “You do not mean that Gwen,” I said staring at her with disbelief. I couldn’t bring myself to sign this even if I knew this was a good
Gwen. After so much back and forth Henry left my place when it was dark and late and I had no way to go meet my father so I called and scheduled for another meeting with him tomorrow morning. Nina and Jade refused to bring the kids back and I didn’t mind because I wouldn’t want them to see me this way. I freshened up but was still staring at the paper, Henry didn’t sign; he refused to sign even if it meant him, not seen his daughter for quite some time. I wonder what he was thinking when he walked out of my apartment angrily. He looked pissed and at a point, I thought he was going to angrily sign the paper but he didn’t and made me know he wouldn’t sign it now or later. I slept off with a lot of thought on my mind, and I was glad I didn’t have any more nightmares. ……..The next morning, I drove to my father's company since he was hell-bent on seeing me. I parked at the parking lot, before going inside. Since it has been a long I came here I wondered if anyone would ever recogniz
Henry. I had just one route in this week and that’s to get Gwen to change her mind. I fucked up with what I had done but I was willing to change—I wanted to change. I was ready to change. I stalked them and made sure I knew where they were going at all times and tried to approach..key word, ‘tried’. I don’t always have the heart to go and meet them and this my ‘little adventure’ just as Emily called it has placed a strain on our relationship. She was getting angry, and nagging a lot and at times I completely got tired of her. She was a beautiful woman but most times I just look at her and wonder what the hell was wrong with her. Just last week I unintentionally missed her visit to the doctor, I know I was at fault for missing such an important day in our lives but I was busy and I wanted to call her to cancel and maybe reschedule but I couldn’t because I forgot. But Emily certainly had other plans, she barged into my office raining insults on me while crying, I decided to ignore h
Gwen. When my father told me I was going to be the acting CEO for some time I honestly didn’t expect it. I had thought I would start from the bottom before getting to the top since I had no single degree in business but I had thought wrong. As if that wasn’t enough, Father went ahead to invite the press and I even heard him saying something about hosting a party for me. He wanted to tell everyone that his long-lost daughter had come back. I still haven’t agreed to that but I knew I would. The day went slow for me but I enjoyed every bit of my stay at the company. I learned a lot of good stuff about the company from my father, the CFO, and some other high-ranking staff. I was set to begin work the next day which was Tuesday and I just couldn’t wait. “Hey papa,” I knocked gently on his door and ducked my head in even though the door wasn’t locked. “Gwen,” he called as he brought his eyes up. His eyes watch me. “You’re leaving already?” “Yes, Jas just called with Nina’s phone

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
