Emily. “Do you think he’s worth it Emily?” “Are you sure this isn’t going to come to bite you in your back?” I groaned and rolled my eyes again for the umpteenth time. Riley was getting on my nerves with her too many questions. “You should know when to keep your mouth shut Riley,” I snapped when I couldn’t take her babbling anymore. “I’m only trying to look out for you Emily, you are my sis….” I glared at her causing her to shut her mouth. “Don’t you dare say that word, Riley? You don’t want me to reconsider throwing you to the streets” I warned. “I know you would say that Emily but you should know that I care for you, I don’t want anything to happen to you or any of us. You have to stop whatever you are planning,” she begged. I stood up from my seat and glared at her, “I thought you had something important to tell me when you called but obviously you don’t so please leave,” I pointed at the door. Riley stared at me with wide eyes, “you are throwing me out, Emily?” She asked.
Emily. Sometimes you have everything in life and have nothing to worry about, but that’s bullshit. There’s always something deep down that always keeps you awake at night even when you try to act fine in front of other people. That worry is your nightmare and that nightmare haunts you every single night of your fucking life. Ian is my nightmare. When I first saw him I thought he would be my savior, be the one to bring me out of my dark place. He did that for the first year we were together; he was sweet, kind, caring, and very passionate. And like I fool, I thought he was the one. I thought he would be my prince in shining armor but I was wrong. Ian started showing his bad side the second year of being together and his attitude did worry me but there was nothing I could do. But then he started pushing his behavior to Riley and that was something I could not handle anymore, so I knew I had to leave—we had to leave. And though we left, he still wasn’t making it easy for me….for us.
Gwen. I sat at the restaurant with a glass of strawberry juice before me as I waited for Emily. It was past two and yet she wasn’t here when we agreed to meet her by two. So she not being here at the designated time was annoying and as much as I have to hear her ads today, I knew this was the start of my awful day. I picked the cup up and sipped from my drink, my eyes focused on the door to the restaurant. Emily was still nowhere to be found, it was fifteen minutes past two and Emily was not here. Now I think I made a bad decision planning this lunch with her, she will always be a bitch. I took another sip from the juice just as the door opened and Emily strode in. She was truly a bitch when I say so and seeing how she attracted everyone’s attention, I knew she planned this and wanted it to happens. Her eyes searched the sea of people before landing on me, I forced a smile on my face. She sauntered to my side and took off her sunglasses. “Gwen,”“Emily,” we greeted each othe
Henry. I could not do it anymore. It has been days, too many days that I couldn’t remember but I know it had been a long time since I last set my eyes on my Jas. I missed her and me not signing that damn papers was foolish on my part. I should have signed and gotten the opportunity to be with her for two days, maybe after some time Gwen could change her mind and add more days to it. But no, like an asshole with an ego as huge as my company, I did not sign. I walked out on her instead. Since I couldn’t take it anymore, I rushed out of my company and now I’m here with absolutely no idea what to do. I was here, parked right outside Jas's preschool and I was too scared to go inside. I had a lot of thoughts in my head a lot of them being Jasmine hating me. I haven’t been there for her for days and I know she would hate me….that’s if she hasn’t already. I glance at the school building again, changing a mantra in my head over and over again. I can do this, there’s no big deal in this
Gwen. I stayed seated in the hospital hallway as I waited for Ryan, he was speaking with the doctor who was in charge of conducting the DNA test between Emily and Jason. He wanted it to be fast and confidential, that’s why he was speaking with him as a lawyer and not as Ryan. “Sorry, I took a lot of time in there.” My eyes snapped to his. I shook my head to let him know I wasn’t annoyed. “It’s alright, hope everything is fine?” I asked. “Yeah, results will be out in two days, three days tops and we will get our answer.” I nod. Deep inside I was hoping for Emily not to be Jason’s mother, Jason deserves someone who would love him for what he is and not a stuck-up bitch like Emily. He deserves a better mother. “Ready to leave?” He asked, stretching his hand out for me to take. I took his hand and he led us out. I checked the time and sighed in relief when I saw it was just past three, Jas and Jace's school closes by three thirty which meant I only had a few minutes to spend wit
Gwen. I walked angrily into the park and tried searching for Henry and the kids amongst the large number of kids and parents around here. It was hard but I knew I would get to them in no time, I knew they must be here. Something tells me they were here and not because I heard the kids chattering and laughing on the phone but because I……“Mommy!” Jasmine's call pulled me from my mini thinking moment. I looked around searching for her before seeing her, she was with Henry and Jason. Once she saw I was staring, she waved happily at me. I did the same thing and also waved at Jason but when my eyes connected with the bastards my smile fell. I was so pissed at him. “Hey baby, what are you doing here?” I asked. Jas was busy playing with the sand, molding what looked like a…..I do not know what to call that. Same with Jason, Jason was supportive by providing her with the sand, the children’s clothes looked so messy and dirty. “Daddy bwoght us here,” I know he did and I’m coming for him
Gwen. I looked at him unfazed, it wasn’t my business if he was having any issues at that time. All I needed was for him to sign and we would have gotten over this already. We wouldn’t have been having this conversation again and again and again. “I couldn’t do it,” his voice was lower this time. “I couldn’t bear the thought of seeing my child just two days Gwen. It was hard, I did wrong I know. I was wrong in acting that way in the past but you should still remember that I’m her father and she would need me in her life one day. You can’t cut me out of her life just like that.”“You cut yourself from her life the moment you didn’t show up on her birthdays Henry, I did not do anything you did every single shift that’s happening to you. Put the damn blame on yourself not me!” I snapped, glaring at him. “I know and that’s why I’m apologizing. I made a mistake and I shouldn’t have done that, but you should know that I also want to be in her life too. I want to be in your life,” he said
Gwen. I made sure the both of them stayed in her room, since he was only here for Jasmine then it should be that way. I made him leave the next morning as early as six in the morning, I was not a bitch but I became bitchy after not being able to sleep properly last night. I would not let him get to me through Jasmine. He should get the memo, I was done trying to patch things up with him. I prepared breakfast early as I waited for Jason and Jasmine to wake up. It was almost seven and they were both still asleep, I think Jasmine hardly had any sleep last night because Henry was here. Five minutes later I decided to wake them up so we wouldn’t be late. We did everything and left the house before eight. ……Forty minutes later I was in my office.“Good morning Miss Mars,” the workers greeted as I walked in. “Good morning guys,” I entered my office and sat down breathing heavily. I was fucking stressed out. “Can I come in ma?” Alice poked her head inside my office. “Yeah, come in,”

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
