Gwen. I looked at him unfazed, it wasn’t my business if he was having any issues at that time. All I needed was for him to sign and we would have gotten over this already. We wouldn’t have been having this conversation again and again and again. “I couldn’t do it,” his voice was lower this time. “I couldn’t bear the thought of seeing my child just two days Gwen. It was hard, I did wrong I know. I was wrong in acting that way in the past but you should still remember that I’m her father and she would need me in her life one day. You can’t cut me out of her life just like that.”“You cut yourself from her life the moment you didn’t show up on her birthdays Henry, I did not do anything you did every single shift that’s happening to you. Put the damn blame on yourself not me!” I snapped, glaring at him. “I know and that’s why I’m apologizing. I made a mistake and I shouldn’t have done that, but you should know that I also want to be in her life too. I want to be in your life,” he said
Gwen. I made sure the both of them stayed in her room, since he was only here for Jasmine then it should be that way. I made him leave the next morning as early as six in the morning, I was not a bitch but I became bitchy after not being able to sleep properly last night. I would not let him get to me through Jasmine. He should get the memo, I was done trying to patch things up with him. I prepared breakfast early as I waited for Jason and Jasmine to wake up. It was almost seven and they were both still asleep, I think Jasmine hardly had any sleep last night because Henry was here. Five minutes later I decided to wake them up so we wouldn’t be late. We did everything and left the house before eight. ……Forty minutes later I was in my office.“Good morning Miss Mars,” the workers greeted as I walked in. “Good morning guys,” I entered my office and sat down breathing heavily. I was fucking stressed out. “Can I come in ma?” Alice poked her head inside my office. “Yeah, come in,”
Gwen. What? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Henry’s company, it couldn’t be. There’s no way the Baldwin’s corp can bag a contract from Mars. It sounded hard to believe, I didn’t want to believe it. There was no way Henry’s company could get the contract when Father's company was there, we were good; Father always liked to employ those with higher knowledge and not just anyone. “Yes, it's hard to believe but it’s true mi…Gwen. But it’s the truth. We are always outrun by Baldwin’s Corp.” she answered my unanswered questions. That couldn’t be possible, even though she had made mention of it I still didn’t believe it. “So now what you’re trying to say is that I…I mean we have to compete with Baldwin’s corp since they are most likely the only one to get the contract apart from us?” I asked taking my eyes back to the file. This sounded more serious than she thought. “Yes, that’s the only one we have to look after in this competition but I know since you are here you will do ev
Gwen. I tried putting on an angry face but my demeanor changed when I saw the look on his face. He took long strides and in less than one second he was before me, kissing me senseless like he hadn’t done that before. His big hands wrapped around my neck as he let the other stay on my cheek. “I missed you so bad,” he whispered after pulling from the kiss. I was too shocked to say anything, all I did was stare at him blinking again and again. “Hey,” he called smiling sweetly. “Hey,” I answered breathlessly.“I came to see you as soon as I was free,” his eyes searched mine. “What happened?” I asked. I wanted to know why he got mad and left yesterday, that was so not like Ryan. “I got…..I do not know what to call that but I want you to forgive me for doing anything wrong to you,” he pleaded, he pulled back and I almost groaned when he was gone. Ryan took a seat in front of me, “I thought I did something that got you angry,” He shook his head,“No, I got caught up with something
Henry. After leaving Gwen’s house that morning, I have never felt the same again. I wanted to have a redo of what I had that night, a redo of sleeping beside my daughter as I watched her. I wanted to be there for them, I wanted to be a better father to Jasmine. If only Gwen would open her eyes and see how I have changed. I wanted her to know that I wasn’t the same Henry she knew before, I had changed. I had changed for her…..for them. Someone once said you wouldn’t know the value of something in your life until it’s gone. That is one hundred percent true, I took Gwen’s love and care for granted, I took her silence for granted. I didn’t know what was in my life until it was gone, they were my sunshine. Since they left my life has been gloomy and not even Emily could brighten my day. And as each day passed, I became more miserable than the last day. I wanted her to forgive me. But I doubt she would ever do that. I still find it unbelievable how much she has changed. It was right t
Gwen. I was busy all through the day trying to come up with a better proposal with the planning team for this year's project. I wanted everything to be perfect and want to make sure we get this deal. I’m going to fight Henry for this and I don’t care if we have to see each other the whole time. “I’m about to leave now Gwen, do you need anything?” Alice asked walking into the office. Leaving? She was leaving now, what time was it? I picked my phone up and cursed when I saw it was super late. It was eight twenty and I was still here and she was still here. Why on earth is she still here this late? “You can leave Alice and no, I don’t want anything.” She nodded. “Sorry for keeping you here this late,” I apologized. She shook her head with a smile, “Don’t bother about it,” I smiled at her. “Goodnight Gwen,” “Night,” I sighed and rested my hand on my head. I was tired, I looked at my phone again and suddenly realized I was missing something. I stared at the phone
Henry. I never thought it would be easy to get Gwen’s forgiveness. I know everyone was probably wondering why the sudden change of heart. Why am I so concerned with Gwen when I didn’t do anything for her when I never cared for her even while we were married? The truth was that…..I do not know. I had no idea what was wrong with me, why I was so interested in her business, in her personal life, and why I gets fucking jealous when that lawyer is near her. Gwen has also asked me what was wrong with me, and I don’t know. I had no idea why I was feeling this way and why it felt like a very huge part of me was missing. I got to the company and with how everyone was looking at me, I knew they didn't know about Gwen’s and my divorce yet. They had no idea and that was great, I walked up to the receptionist and requested a meeting with Gwen but instead got rejected right away after I mentioned my name to her. It felt embarrassing but like I said, I was expecting that. I didn’t fight or tr
Henry. She sat there without moving, with arms wrapped around her protectively like she was going to get hurt if she ever let go of herself. “Emily,” I called and even that didn’t get her to bring her head up. She kept it buried between he knees as she stayed there, swaying herself from side to side. I couldn’t help but imagine what on earth happened to her, what happened in this place. “Are you alright?” I asked still standing where I was, I don’t know how she would react if I walked towards her. “Emily?” I called again. I couldn’t take her silence anymore, I walked up to her and knelt beside her. I held her hand but quickly retracted it when she moved back in shock. “Emily,” I called softly this time. “It’s me,” I started, jeez I haven’t done this before. I have not comforted anyone before so how the hell am I going to go with this? “It Henry Emily, I’m here now. You don’t have to be scared anymore,” I said hoping she would at least bring her head up and look at me. I was

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
