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
Gwen. I was tired. Unusually tired this morning, I woke up after having that annoying nightmare again but this time it was more vivid and it felt like I was living in it instead of just dreaming about it. My head ached but I knew I had to stand up from this bed and prepare for my first day at work. I still had time though since it was six thirty and I leave by eight-thirty. But my lazy self was too tired to stand up, so I tried closing my eyes again to sleep since I couldn’t have a better one last night. The sound of my doorbell ringing woke me up. I frowned and looked at the time again to make sure I didn’t doze off; six thirty-three was visibly glaring at me. Which meant I didn’t sleep long. The doorbell rang again and again. I groaned as I cursed whoever was at the door. I was supposed to have maybe an hour or thirty minutes sleep before getting up but whoever that’s at the door had other plans. Getting up in annoyance, I threw a bathrobe on and marched to the living room angri
Gwen. A week has passed and I felt more and more stressed. Going to work, taking care of the kids, and having to study almost every day was taking a huge toll on me. And then I have to appear on the news more often than I thought so the whole world knows about me being the heiress of the Mars family. It was frightening and at the same time exciting for me, I have always liked to live a low-profile life—where no one knows who I am when I enter a place. But I don’t think I can have that life now that everyone knows about me in the business world. My apartment, the one place I thought would be a better home for me wasn’t that safe for me. The place wasn’t too heavily guarded—one of the reasons I love the area but with the reporters trying to get into my personal space, father had to employ some guards for me. So now anywhere I am going, a guard must accompany me which was both exhausting and embarrassing. I was so tired that I kept on postponing the dinner date I had with Ryan, it wa
Gwen. Ryan looked totally different from the other times we had met before. He looked mightily different and fine if I may add. “You are so beautiful,” he whispered, staring at me like he was seeing me for the first time. I blushed, “thank you,” I took my eyes down. He clears his throat, “Good evening my lady. These are for you,” I brought my head up and took the red roses from him. I sniffed the roses and was immediately calmed by their scent. This was the first time I was getting flowers in years, I had never gotten one from Henry while we were married so I had to cherish this. “Thank you,” I whispered with my eyes still glued to the flowers. “Let me put them in water then we can leave,” I told him and turned around heading to the kitchen. After putting the flowers in a vase, I went outside. “You look beautiful Gwen,” he says again as we rode out of my place. Jeez, he should stop making me blush. I don’t do well with compliments, especially from handsome men. I looked at
Gwen. Ryan looked hurt by what I said but god whatever he is thinking isn’t what I’m talking about. “Please don’t take this wrongly Ryan,” I begged. I sounded like a whining child right now. I know I wasn’t supposed to feel this way, like this guilt of being with another man even though I had divorced my scumbag husband but I couldn’t help it. At times this all feels like a dream to me and I want to wake up. Ryan shifts in his seat,“I’m sorry. I didn’t care to ask, I assumed this is the kind of place you would love to come to,” he said looking apologetic making me feel worse than I was before. “It’s a beautiful place Ryan, but I think I would be more comfortable in a quiet and nice place,” I said hoping I hadn’t offended him. This place was perfect and though nobody had noticed me yet, I still felt like there were eyes on my body. I wanted to come to this dinner, but nobody forced me. I was ready to move on from Henry, but it was way harder than I thought. Herny was my first e
Gwen. I froze in my place for a while, all I did was blink and feel his lips that was moving on mine. I wanted to push him off me and tell him what he was doing was wrong but I could not do that, I knew doing that would hurt Ryan’s feelings and I didn’t want that. So I did nothing, I only stood there and let him kiss me but when the picture of Henry with his mistress flashed in my head, I knew I wanted this. I wanted to forget him and the only way to do that was by doing this. By going out with someone who would want me and someone who would always be there for me. So I gave in, I wrapped my hands around his neck and let him kiss me. I kissed him back, Ryan was kissing me with so much need that almost brought me down to my knees. He knows what he’s doing, I haven’t had someone kiss me this senseless for a while. Ryan wrapped his hand around my waist bringing me closer to his hard chest, he didn’t break the kiss and I could feel myself getting short of breath. “God, Gwen,” he gro
Henry. I had been distracted for the whole of the day; doing the interview I had no idea of until Emily barged into my office with some reporters I hadn’t seen before. I really wanted to send those bastards out of my office but I couldn’t. I had a reputation to save, so begrudgingly I did the fucking interview and it seem the reporter wanted to know everything about my fucking life. One glare from me was able to shut her up, in an hour since I insisted I was busy the interview was done and I had time to lash at Emily. She left the office angrily after raining curses on me but returned later in the day, dressed. “What’s wrong?” I asked, taking my eyes from the screen. I was damn tired and had a headache, Emily’s drama wasn’t something I wanted right now. “I’m sorry…about earlier,” she apologized, looking at the floor. My brows raised as I stared at her, she did look apologetic but I was still mad at what she had done earlier. “I…”“You don’t have to say anything Henry, I just wan

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
