Gwen. Weak, tired, and exhausted. That’s how I felt when the car hit the damn tree, that’s what I felt when Ryan pulled me out of the car without considering how badly I was bleeding from my head. I couldn’t put up a fight because I was too tired to do that, so I let him take me to wherever he wanted to take me. Seeing what happened right now made me realize that it wouldn’t have happened if I had called someone….anyone for help while he was taking me out of the car. I should have called Henry, if I had done that this wouldn’t have happened. It all happened slowly and even though I still felt dizzy and all I wanted to do was close my eyes and sleep, I saw it. I knew when Ryan pulled the trigger, aiming his gun at me. He was ready to kill me and yet I could not move from my spot. The shock was too much for me, I tried to overcome it and when I wanted to move someone jumped in front of me taking the bullet and bringing us down. No….no!“Henry,” I called blinking my lashes as I tried
Henry. The whole place was dark and cold, it felt like I was trapped in it. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t do anything. Time just passed in this dark place where muted voices played an endless ungraspable tune, where I felt like an alien in my own body that hurt badly. I had flashes of consciousness which were only blinding lights, occasionally disturbed by the darkness of this place. I forced myself to pick out some sounds, picking out words and a few voices that sounded recognizable and unrecognizable, putting them together like puzzle pieces that were missing key parts. I tried to focus on the moving shapes, straining with efforts to make out the hazy features of a face but getting no more than a rough sketch of someone familiar. Just when I thought I was at the edge of the darkness, I was pushed back under again. I did everything to reach out to the voice calling out to me but it was futile. Just when I had lost hope I heard the anguished roar of a voice calling my name again
Henry. It had been three hours since I woke up from a very long sleep, according to Gwen I had been in a coma for three months now and if I didn’t wake up when I did they would have thought of me as dead. It was scary to actually think that I had been asleep for such a long time, no wonder my body felt so heavy and I couldn’t move. Gwen hasn’t left my side, even when the doctor came to check up on me she didn’t leave. She stayed and paid close attention to what the doctor said, what should be done and what shouldn’t. I have never seen her like this before—she has done something like this when I was sick but I have never paid attention to her. Gwen is just simply amazing. “Do you need anything Henry, I can get it for you?” She asked. I shook my head, it was already late and I didn’t think I needed anything more than her presence right now. “I don’t. I wanted to ask you this, I haven’t seen Jas since I woke up and you haven’t told me what happened after I got shot?” He asked. She
Gwen. It has been hell for me and for everyone else since Henry got shot and almost died during surgery. Three months and everything still isn’t normal, Ryan was caught that day and right now he’s at the police station awaiting trial. I didn’t want to do anything until Henry woke up, he should have been there when the one who shot him was trailed. The news of Emily and Ryan’s big mastermind plan spread through the country and everyone who was in support of us wanted them dead. But I think that’s too small for them, they deserve something worse than death, Emily deserves worse for putting little Jason through that horrible ordeal. Luckily after that night Jason was rescued and immediately taken to my home where Jasmine was waiting for him, he was excited to see her and went on telling her what happened, in no time he had completely forgotten what happened that night and I wanted it to remain that way. When I woke up a day after I passed out on my mother’s shoulder, the first thing
Henry. I woke up to a small whisper coming from God's where. I heard giggled and then it all died down when I opened my eyes. I blinked my lashes repeatedly to adjust to the bright light in the room before looking around, I saw my mother, Sheila, and no one else. A frown graced my face when I didn’t see her. “Before you ask anything she will be back soon, she just stepped out for some fresh air. I had to force her to do that,” Mother said before I could even ask anything. Oh, I calmed down a bit. “Welcome back from your sleep, sleeping cutie,” Sheila said from beside Mother and all I could do was glare at her. “How are you doing son?” Mother asked as she quickly took the seat beside my bed, she held my hand in hers and gave me a squeeze. “I’m fine Mother,” I replied even though my voice was hoarse. “I’m glad. I was so happy when Gwen called to tell me you were already awake, I’m so glad that you are alright Henry. I don’t know what I would have done if anything had happened t
Emily. Nothing has been the same since that night, everything has suddenly taken a turn and I do not like it. After I was knocked unconscious by that bastard, I woke up the next day in a hospital and my handcuffed to the bed. I was mad at first and let out a loud scream alerting who was out there to come take the damn thing off me but instead of a nurse or doctor walking in, a female cop walked in. “Do you need anything?” She asked. I looked at her and ordered her to take the damn thing from my hand, she merely looked at me and then walked out again. Even when I started screaming and cursing at her at the top of my lungs, she still didn’t react. The doctor came in when my shouts were getting too loud and injected something in my arm, it was only then did I became calm, and in no time I slept off. I woke up that day in the evening and yet there still wasn’t anyone in the room with me, at that time I wondered if no one had called Riley to come take me out of here. But then a week b
Emily. I walked towards the door and waited for the damn lady to open the door, she always take her sweet time to open the damn door. I mean, how long does it take to open one door? Finally, after taking a long time, she opened the door and as usual I brought my hands out so she could handcuff me. She did that and I walked out. “Walk faster,” she yelled from behind and all I could do was roll my eyes. “Can I know who my guest is?” I asked, glancing at her through my shoulder. She grunted but didn’t say anything, I decided to drop it and let it be. I will see who it is in a minute from now. We passed the other cell and though they were shouting and calling on the cop to come take them out of there I couldn’t help to think who my mysterious guest was. I mean I have been here doing nothing, without getting trailed, without knowing what my crime is—even though I have an idea of what it was, I don’t have anyone to come to bail me out of this place so I couldn’t help but wonder who
Henry. Just as I had said, I spent the whole day attending to visitors and my hospital room turned into a flower shop in no time. I didn’t know I had suddenly turned into a superhero overnight but to everyone, I was one, I was a superhero for saving Gwen. It didn’t mean much hearing it from others but when it came from Jason and Jasmine it meant the whole world to me. I had to bury all my questions deep down because there were people around and I had a lot to ask Gwen. I had a lot of questions about what happened three months while I was sleeping, what happened before that, why she went ahead to save Jason without telling me or any of her family members, and what happened between Emily and her. I knew something, or there was something between Gwen and Emily before I started dating Emily, but I had no idea what it was, and now I want to find out. I spoke with the doctor hours after getting so many visitors, and according to him, I was okay and would be on my feet in no time. I

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
