Gwen. We left the house as soon as we were ready, u helped the kids in the car after leaving a note outside my door in case Henry stopped by and did not see us at home. We first stopped at the shopping mall where we got some new clothes and some costumes since they were adamant about it. We finished our clothes and costumes shopping at about one and we were all hungry. We walked to the restaurant across the mall and bought some light snacks to eat, I ordered a burger with cheese for myself while the kids ordered some fries, chicken, and juice. “Mommy is daddy coming over?” Jasmine asked as we ate in silence. I looked at her, “why? Do you have something to show Daddy?” I asked while taking a bite from my burger. She nods, “I want him to see my new costumes and also Jason’s Spider-Man costume.” She said happily. I smiled at her, “Of course you can do that, once we get home you can call your daddy,” I answered. “Thank you, mommy,” “You’re welcome baby,” my eyes flickered to Jas
Emily. I couldn’t help but feel giddy every single minute, in about twenty-four hours I would get my money from Henry. I would get everything he took from me and maybe even get double of it. I sang happily as soon as I was up when I was taking my bath, and when I was even eating. Riley gave me all sorts of looks since this morning but I don’t pay any mind to her. I did my thing and then waited for a report from Ian, I wanted to go with him to his ‘basement’ and be there when the little girl was brought to us but he refused to let me go with him. So I decided to wait for his call but it was taking longer than we planned, I mean how long does it take to grab a fucking four years old. I was starting to get worried and scared. What Riley said about us getting arrested began to play in my mind again and again. I shook the thought off and at that moment my phone rang. I quickly picked up the call since it was his name that showed on the screen. “Hell…”“There’s a black car parked outs
Emily. What the fuck is he doing here and why can’t I see Henry’s little brat anywhere?My eyes went back to Ian who was still smoking with a nonchalant look on his face. “What’s going on?” I asked and like he was in a trance and my voice pulled him out of it he blinked and looked at me. Ian stares at me with a bored look before his lips curled up in a smile. “You are finally here, good,” he muttered and dropped the cigar by his side. The little boy was still crying loudly and from the look of it, I don’t think he was going to stop crying anytime soon. “What’s going on Ian? What’s he doing here?” I asked pointing at the little kid who was now staring at me with wide eyes. I could see it, the same eyes but I refused to acknowledge it. “You tell me what’s going on Emily?” he said instead of explaining things to me. I mean how am I supposed to know what's going on?“Where's the child?” I asked taking my eyes back to the boy sitting on the bed but quickly took my eyes off when ou
Emily. He has ruined everything, every single thing I have planned up until now. He has ruined it and he wants me to be what….excited? I never remembered asking him to help me find the dead child, he was dead to me, and still nothing is going to change that. I stared at him with anger oozing out of me as he laughed happily like he had just won a fucking lottery. “What did you do Ian?” I asked, still glaring at him. He stopped laughing and tilted his head to look at me. “I did what was right Emily. I got our son back and now we can live happily ever after,” he said and this time I was the one to laugh. I burst into loud laughter when he was done talking, he really was dreaming big. Dreaming about something that would never happen or come to pass. “You backstabbed and then you want what? You want me to be your bitch all the days of my life. I had just one wish from you, get the little girl for me, and then everything will be alright, as simple as that but you had to do something
Gwen. Everything became a blur after the van drove away, I let them take Jason. I couldn’t fight for the little boy, I let them take him even when I promised him just this morning that I wouldn’t let anything happen to him. What….I broke my promise. I promised to protect him and yet I couldn’t do that. I let them take him without putting up a fight. “Gwen!” Someone yelled from across the road but I didn’t pay any mind. I could only focus on the road the van took, I could have still had him with me if I’d fought with those people. He shouldn’t have….he shouldn’t have. “Are you alright Gwen?” The same person asked, I couldn’t say anything. The person took Jasmine from me. “Daddy,” Jas called beside me, and only then did I look at him. He was looking worried as he took in our appearance. “What’s wrong? Are you alright?” He asked while patting Jasmine's back softly, she had her head buried in his neck and her body was shaking lightly. I didn’t know if she was stop crying or if she
Gwen. Three days. It has been three fucking days, three days of getting my hopes crushed again and again. Three days of hearing the same thing over and over again from the cops, they weren’t giving me productive information and I was getting tired of hearing their motto of them doing their best again and again. I wanted to hear something that would bring my Jason back, something about finding out where they took him not just stories. I haven’t been able to do anything for those three days, I mean what can I do when my little boy was out there for three days? I don’t know if they are feeding him properly, or if he was having his bath. Since he started living with me he hates anything dirt on his body, I remember the last time we almost had a little fight when I didn’t bathe him on time. I hope he is doing well. “Aren’t you going to eat something?” I didn’t bother to turn since I already knew who was standing there. “You should know that you are a mother and you need to be strong
Emily. Three days of consistent planning and finally I have gotten the perfect idea and the perfect someone to help me get through. It’s true when they say the enemy of your enemy is your friend, that’s something I have come to understand. I have been running out of ideas but like the angel that my savior is, he stepped out of the dark and brought me to the light with him. For the three days that I have been here, I made sure to act like I indeed wanted to be here. I don’t want to give Ian any room to doubt, he should believe that I want to stay with his son and himself. After trying to get him to talk about how he knew Jason was his son, he finally told me everything. Apparently, the bastard did some digging after I told him my little boy was with my best friend, and not only that he got the boy's hair for some DNA. How he did that is still surprising but that isn’t my business. As a mother one would think I am elated to get my son back but that’s the opposite of what I’m feeli
Emily. I shouldn’t feel it, what he thinks about me shouldn’t be my concern but for some reason, I do not know, for some feeling I couldn’t explain, I felt bothered by how he looked at me. It felt like I was seeing my little self in him, the same eyes were staring at me and the same emotion was in them. At that moment I wanted to bolt out of the room without doing what I came for, at this moment I wanted to make everything right again but……I couldn’t. We have spent too many years apart and I believe he wouldn’t want me. I mean which don would want a mother who threw him out on the streets, who left him to die?‘Get a grip on yourself, Emily,’ I whispered to myself. I cleared my throat and then walked in, this time I didn’t look in his eyes. I could speak to him without looking into his eyes. “I want us to go out for today,” I said looking everywhere but his eyes. I didn’t want to see the look in them. He didn’t answer but that wasn’t my business, he was going to leave with me

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
