Henry. We have them cornered right now, I could see they weren’t going to get away with this. I felt a feeling in my chest when I knew that Gwen wasn’t going to be in danger. I was relentless in my pursuit, I wanted to know what was going on. I had no idea what was going on or why Gwen was placed in that car. “I will get you soon Gwen,” I whispered underneath my breath. But those words seemed to become weary when I saw the huge tree waiting for them. They wouldn’t be able to escape and yet they were still moving in so much speed. Please be safe Gwen, I whispered. The chase didn’t take a long time and though the tree was getting closer and closer the car didn’t seem to slow down. So I had to hit their car, to get them to stop but they wouldn’t get my message. I went on hitting the car but that was all in vain, I watched with wide eyes as the car pushed forward and hit the tree. “Shit!” I cursed out loudly and quickly stopped my car. I rushed out of it but paused when the cops
Henry. I stayed as still as I could as I felt the cold thing place on the back of my head. “You don't seem to learn do you Henry?” the voice felt familiar. I have heard the voice somewhere but right now I just couldn't place where. He quickly took the gun in my hand and moved back before I could see him. “You can’t seem to leave her alone, let her be after what you did to her?” He asked again breathing heavily. “What did I do to her?” I asked only to get the muzzle of the gun pressed deeply in my back head. “I didn’t give you permission to speak, you should keep your mouth shut bastard,” he growled.Bastard? There was only one person bold enough to call me that and that was the fucking lawyer. Why didn’t I think of this? Why didn’t I think he would be the one behind this? The signs have been there, the look of longing and wanting was always in his eyes any time he saw Gwen but I overlooked it because I thought it didn’t matter but right now it certainly did. “Why don’t you stan
Henry. I quickly knelt beside her and took her hand in mine. “Gwen….are you alright?” I asked which was stupid because she was groaning in pain and didn’t look okay. “Call for an ambulance,” one of the cops said. There were only two cops beside me, I guess the others were dealing with guys who helped Ryan. “Hen..,.” She struggled to say something and also tried to open her eyes. “I’m here Gwen, I’m here now. Everything is going to be alright,” I squeezed her hand tightly as I whispered to her. Gosh, I was scared to pick her up. I didn’t know where she was injured or in pain so I didn’t want to hold her and add to her pain. She squeezed my hand and shut her eyes before groaning in pain again. Shit! Where’s the fucking ambulance. “Did anyone get them?” I asked without taking my eyes off Gwen. “I have called sir and they will be here in thirty minutes,” fuck! Thirty minutes? Thirty minutes is too long and I don't think I can stand here for thirty minutes watching Gwen moan in pa
Henry. Everything wasn’t right, the cops who would have made us feel safe was lying on the ground with gun shots injuries and the one who caused all of this had a freaking gun in his hand. How the hell did this happen? “Hen…ry, you….you bastard,” his words were slurred and low like he was finding it hard to speak. I didn’t move from where I was kneeling beside Gwen as he kept pointing his gun at me. “Put the gun down Ryan,” I said as calmly as I could. I heard Gwen take a sharp breath beside me, I couldn’t look at her to know what was going on with her since the bastard still had the gun pointed at me and I did not know what he would do if I took my gaze off him. “Ryan….” Gwen called out breathlessly. Without looking at her I said, “Stop talking Gwen,” “What do you want Ryan?” I asked as I slowly got up. He smiled at me with his teeth bloody, “I want her Henry. She’s supposed to be mine,” he said and took a deep breath when he was done talking. He looked pretty weak and pal
Henry. “You told me you wanted nothing to do with him but yet here you are in his arms acting like the fucking whore that you are!” He spat out and then burst into laughter. I felt rage burn through me when he called her that. “Watch your mouth….” I couldn’t complete my words as he cut in. “Or what?” He asked. My hand clenched beside me and since I couldn’t do anything I only sent him a glare. “Isn’t she one? Jumping from a man who doesn’t want her to someone else who would treasure her and yet she still isn’t satisfied with it?” He went on. “Stop talking,” I hissed at him. “Look I’m the one with the upper hand here and I get to say whatever shit I like and if I say she’s a whore then she is one,” he said. I don’t think he would be the one with the upper hand soon, gosh I can’t wait to get my hands on him. “Did she tell you what happened on our date night? The night everything was supposed to fall into place, the night I was supposed to ask her to be my girlfriend?” He asked
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

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
