Gwen. We had a long stare-down before I finally decided to relent, I had to hear what he had to say. I took my eyes from his green eyes and looked at Alice,“Please excuse us, Alice,” I said. Alice frowned and then looked at the man standing before me with a cocky smile and then back at me. “But gwe…miss Gwen, he does not have an appointment,” she said clearly shocked by my words. I was also shocked by what I said, I could have called the security and had this arrogant man thrown out of my office and the company but I would like to know what he was going to say. “I know Alice but I would like to hear what he’s to say, and I do believe it would be worth my time right?” This time the question was directed to the cocky man. He nods his head without saying anything, ass!“Alright, Miss Gwen. If you need anything, I’m one call away,” I gave her a small smile as I nodded my head. Alice glared at the man’s back before going out, she shut the door behind her. I took my eyes back to the
Gwen. What the hell did this fucker just say? A marriage? He wasn’t seriously saying what I think he was saying. “What do you mean Mr Arnold?” I asked leaning back on my seat so I could see the asshole's face properly. “Oh gwen….can I call you that?” He asked. With a very polite smile on my lips I shook my head, “No, you can’t call me Gwen here Mr. Arnold,” “Oh….alright. Alright, Miss Gwen as I was saying marriage would make this deal better and more efficient. If our companies joined together by not only paper but a marriage then I think we would get the contract this year.” He hates women who are in positions yet he is ready to use one to get to where he wants. “What do you say, Miss Gwen, isn’t this a big opportunity for us? It would be a problem solved for all of us and we wouldn’t need to bother working too hard to get the contract from Baldwin Corp,” he was also lazy.An arrogant, cocky, bastard sexist who also turns out to be a lazy mutt. Wow, how the hell is this one ru
Henry. I could still hear the words in my head over and over again, no matter how I tried to block them out. I got my evidence, I got the words from her mouth even though she didn’t confess to it directly, I still heard it. I had to pretend not to know or hear anything, but I heard everything she said to that caller. I followed her out as soon as she left the room and hid behind a fucking flower pot to eavesdrop on her conversation and the same Ian who she claimed terrorized her was the same Ian she was speaking to. She fucking had the nerve to do that while I was here, in my mansion. Emily was more cunning than I thought and if I have to be this guy to get what I want then I have to. A week was all I gave to her and it was the fourth day yet she hadn’t said anything. I always throw the questions here and there, asking her to tell me if she was keeping anything from me. I told her I was ready to forgive her for her mistakes and lies but Emily wouldn’t budge, she seemed like a bi
Henry. “Don’t try to act smart with me and change your words, Henry. I heard you clearly but I just want you to repeat what you have just said?” She demanded without breaking her gaze from mine. Mother always looks scary when she is angry. I sighed and rubbed my face,“I think Emily is cheating on me,” I said, breaking the damn silence and telling her what she wants to hear. Mother didn’t react as surprised as I thought she would. “Didn’t you hear what I said Mother, I said I think Emily is cheating on me….” She cut in. “And so what?” She asked. I stared at her in shock. “What do you mean by that mother?” I asked. “Emily’s cheating on you and so what Henry? You should remember that you also did the same thing to Gwen while you were married. You cheated on her with Emily so I see no reason why you should be made if Emily is cheating on you,” she didn’t…..she didn’t just say that. “That’s different mother. At that time I was in love with Emily or I thought I was and I had no
Emily. I was scared the whole day, I had thought that Henry must have heard something that night but to my surprise, he didn’t mention anything about it. Right then I knew that I had to do this soon, if I wanted to leave this place with what I wanted then I didn’t need to dally any longer. So the next day I drove out of the mansion, to Riley’s place. I know she would be surprised to see me but I had no other choice but to consult her even though I knew she would talk me out of this. “Emily,” she called in surprise as she opened her door. I smiled, “can I come in?” I asked. She stared at me weirdly before opening the door and created some space for me to go in. “Thank you,” I muttered as I walked in. The place was looking the same as before but I noticed she got new things, that kinda reminds me of something. “Why didn’t you tell me Riley?” I asked, turning around to face her. “Tell you what Emily?” She asked with her hands folded across her chest. “Why didn’t you tell me Ian
Emily. I stayed frozen in shock in my car as I took a closer look at the young boy, there was not a single doubt that he was the exact copy of Ian. He had the same hair as Ian, and even though that was the only thing I could see right now I already knew who that child was. But what he was doing with Gwen is what I had no idea of. That was definitely him, or was he perhaps the reincarnation of Ian? Was he sent to torment me more?I drove out of the place when I was done looking at them, it doesn’t make sense that a miniature version of Ian is living with Gwen and no matter how I think about it I just can’t come up with anything that will give me some explanation why Gwen was with a small version of that demon. I was going to find out, I have to find out what’s going on. I drove to the hotel, parked, and entered the lobby. Since I was frequent in this place, all I had to do was give the receptionist my card and then I was allowed in. The elevator dinged and I stepped out, my mind w
Gwen. It felt like I was being watched. I know this feeling, I had it when I was still a little girl and when I almost got kidnapped for being a rich man’s child. I have the same feeling now so I know what I’m talking about, it isn’t just a hunch, it is more of a sign or warning. This feeling means that something bad is about to happen. But I have been too busy to worry about that, I have been too busy making sure everything we do from a week from now would be perfect, I want us to get that contract. I’m too busy trying to keep up with Henry’s sorry ass and I’m too busy taking care of the kids and planning Jason’s birthday. Yeah, you heard it right. Jason will be seven in two days from now and I had no idea what to do. I came to know that he hadn’t celebrated his birthday since he was born and I felt bad about it so I decided to plan a surprise party for him. Mother and father decided to help me plan the party and even though I disagreed they insisted I knew this party wouldn’t be
Emily. I have tried for a long time now and nothing was working, I couldn’t get his damn signature on the file. He wouldn’t even look at it, he do not give two fucks about me at all. The only time he cared was when he decided to follow me to the hospital for my regular checkups, and up until now I still had suspicions about his five minutes meeting with the doctor when I wasn’t there. I had planned to get him drunk but that didn’t work, I tried mixing it with his office files so he could sigh without noticing it and that didn’t also work so I’m going for the last option I had and that was getting Henry so high that he wouldn’t know what he was doing and then he would say the papers and I will leave. I knew it was a foolproof plan, all I had to do was get Henry home early and then do everything. I know Henry and one thing I have known about him is that he can’t say no to my body even as I am pregnant.So I got everything ready, the room decorated, my lingerie on and the file at the

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
