Henry.I have been trying my best to make things right between us. Now I know what that saying really meant, I wouldn’t know the value of something until I lost it. That was what I have come to realize after losing Gwen and Jasmine; I want them back. I wanted my family back and I was ready to do whatever it takes to get them back. Even if it meant not going to my company to take care of Jas, I didn’t do it to get on Gwen’s good book. I only did it for Jas and Nina’s sake, she was in a hurry and needed to get to her lectures on time and even when I was there she was reluctant to leave me with the kids and I do not blame her for that. She has every right to be cautious of me after what I did to her sister. I was getting worried when Gwen wasn’t home by eight thirty, I wanted to believe this wasn’t how she normally comes home. To keep the kid's minds occupied instead of them thinking about Gwen, I made popcorn for ourselves and we had a movie marathon. With just a few hours of being a
Henry. She paused when I said that, she dropped the fork and I noticed she didn’t eat it. I didn’t mean to bring this up while she was eating but I had to. Any moment from now when she’s done eating I would be out of the house even though I do not want that. She sighed and without looking at me she said, “If this is about us or our relationship I want you to drop it,” I flinched, even though I wasn’t going to talk about our relationship now her tone sounded disturbing. “That…that wasn’t what I was going to say,” I said causing her to look at me. “Oh…”“Yeah, now are you ready to listen to me, Gwen?” I asked and she nodded. I looked at her, she wasn’t eating any longer and as if she could feel me looking at her she looked at me. “What?” She demands. “I’ll continue if you finish the food,” I said pointing at the food, she let out a groan and took a bite again. This was the first time I was preparing something for her and I wanted to ask her how it tastes but that wasn’t the im
Gwen. I couldn’t move or do anything but let Henry’s lips stay on mine. I stayed still as he moved his lips, I didn’t know what to do. I mean what am I supposed to do when I have my ex in my kitchen kissing me like there’s no care in the world? I should push him back but my hands seemed to fail me in doing what I wanted—my body didn’t want to move. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t know when he stopped kissing me. “I….don’t you like that?” He asked looking at me. Gosh, I always melt under the intense gaze of his blue eyes. There was something so good to look at in his eyes and I also get the same feeling whenever I look into Jasmine's eyes. They had the same eyes after all. I couldn’t speak, all I did was look at him like a damn fool. I didn’t know what to say, true I liked the kiss even if my head was over the cloud but I couldn’t say that out. I didn’t want to give him any satisfaction of knowing I still had a little feeling for him. “Why did you do that?” I asked i
Ryan. I had thought she would change after I left her office but guess I was wrong. She wasn’t going to change and nothing would change her or make her change her mind. I was wrong to ever think she would change, that she would see things through and not give her scumbag of an ex a second chance but I was wrong. Now standing outside her house and waiting impatiently for her to open the door, I wanted to believe that he wasn’t in there with her. She wouldn’t let him in and even let him stay the night but that wasn’t it. For the last few days and nights that I have been watching her he has always been around her, and he wouldn’t leave until the next morning. I was getting scared that she would reconcile with him and then marry again to become one happy family. But I don’t want her to have a happy ending with that bastard, Gwen belongs to me and no one else. Releasing another sigh I looked around again, and tucked one hand in my pants pocket before pressing the doorbell again. Still
Ryan. She frowned and answered with a scowl on her face. “What did you say?”“Are you fucking him? Is that the reason why he is here?” I asked raising my voice slightly. I was pissed, I don’t want to think that what I’m saying is the truth. I didn’t want to believe she was indeed fucking him even though she was his ex. She shouldn’t do that with him, I was here for her. I was here to fuck her anyhow she pleases, I was here for her to use. She shouldn’t give what belongs to me to someone else… not even her bastard ex. “What the hell are you talking about?” She asked pushing out more and without waiting for my answer she went on. “You know what I think you should go. I’m going to assume that you aren’t in your right mind right now so I’ll let what you said go,” she said. My hands clenched tightly by my side, she didn’t just say this to me. I have been here for her, always have been and this is what she’s saying to me. She wants me to leave while that bastard is still in there with
Emily. My life has been hard. I wouldn’t say I wasn’t living a hard life before I met Henry but this is more worst. Ian thankfully left after I created that plan and I haven’t been more happy to live alone but Riley wasn’t giving me the peace of mind I wanted. She’s all nagging about like an old housewife who does not get much love from her husband. She wouldn’t let me touch anything she had, according to her she wanted me to go out there in the world, work, and then bring something to the table; only then was I allowed to eat as much as I wanted. That was the most annoying thing I’ve heard, I couldn’t eat what I crave because she wasn’t as rich as Henry to provide them for me. I wouldn’t blame her though, she’s tried her best and I am so stupid to not save some money. I regret doing that right now, I’d thought I had it all—that I was going to get what I wanted so there was no need to save. But now here I am with no money, and not all those beautiful clothes I shopped for. “What?
Emily. I walked into the house smiling brightly, I looked at the brown envelope in my hands. I have finally gotten what I want, all I need now is a go-ahead from Ian. My steps paused when I saw the devil sitting on the couch in the living room watching TV. “You’re back baby,” he said even without looking at me. “You’re here. When did you get here?” I asked moving slowly toward him with my heart beating fast in my chest. He shouldn’t be here at this time, not when I just finished having sex with that man. He would definitely sniff this out and the punishment that comes after that is always painful. “Where have you been Emily?” He asked instead of answering my questions. I guess this is how we are going to do this, throw questions at each other without answering the other. “And don’t you dare ask me questions,” he interrupted me before I could say anything. “I went to get this,” I raised the envelope up with shaky hands. He pulled his eyes from the TV and stared at the envelo
Gwen. Henry left minutes after I helped him clean the wound he got from the right with Ryan. I kept on apologizing while cleaning the wound since this happened because of me, I know I shouldn’t blame myself as Henry said but I couldn’t help but do. I was alone in the house since Jas and Jason were still sleeping I had enough time to think, I should be in bed since it was past twelve but I couldn’t sleep. I have no reason why I wasn’t in bed at this time but I just couldn’t sleep, I tried lying on my bed but nothing. I was devoid of any sleep so I decided to stay up all night instead of trying to force myself to sleep. The kiss Henry and I shared certainly changed things in our relationship, it meant that I was willing to give him a second chance to prove himself. I just hope he wouldn’t play with my feelings again, I just hope he wouldn’t take my love for granted this time. I get it now, I now know why I couldn’t sleep. This thought has been on my mind for a long time since he le

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
