Henry.

The court process was fast, and in no time, the judge was giving her statement. With all the accusations pointed at me about being a bad father, about being a bad husband who cheated on his wife, and also got divorced from her, I already knew that Jasmine we were given to Gwen, my ex-wife.

So, I wasn't that surprised when the judge gave full custody to Gwen instead of me, but what I wasn't expecting was what she said when she called out; she gave me custody as well as she was given. I couldn't believe it; no matter how hard I tried to analyze the situation, I wasn't expecting to be a part of Jasmine's life anymore, I wasn’t expecting to be a part of their lives anymore not after what I did.

I wouldn't be happy until after this, because I knew there would be some conditions. Gwen was allowed to place some few things that I needed to do before taking Jas and I was going to do all of those things if they meant me seeing my child.

I stayed on the seat, ignoring my lawyer who wa

Henry is growing up. Only his daughter in his life makes sense to him right now. I think Ryan just needs to get out. He’s trying to force himself into things which I find a bit disturbing. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes for the wrong reasons. Mistakes teach us to be a better version of ourselves.

    Gwen. Ryan had refused to say anything to me as we stepped out of the courthouse, and I know why. He is mad, I know he will be. He is mad at me for not telling him this, for not taking counsel from him before doing what I did. It was last last-minute decision and while I wanted to pay back Henry, they should also understand that it’s my child’s life we are talking about here and not just anyone’s. “Aren’t you going to say something?” I asked, unable to bear the silence anymore. Ryan kept quiet as he opened the passenger's door for me.“Come on Ryan, say something.” I urged, ignoring his offer for me to go inside the car. “What do you want me to say, Gwen?” He asked and though he sounded mad, I was still glad he said something. “Anything. I know you are angry….” I began but got cut off. “I am more than angry Gwen.” “I know but you need to understand that…..” he interrupted me again. “We won’t have this talk if you are not in the car.” What he meant was that he wouldn’t speak

    Gwen,We got to Father's house on time, and just as I thought, Father wasn't too pleased about my idea of Henry in Jasmine's life. He was angry and refused to let me explain myself, but thank God for my mother, who said some words to him and made him see things through; I was able to explain myself.Father couldn't wait to meet his granddaughter. They were all excited to see her for the first time, and I could not wait to introduce them to her and them to her, a real family. The Baldwins cannot be classified as Jasmine's family; they do not treat my child right, called her a bastard child who didn’t belong to their family or even brother, or son, so they have absolutely no right to claim her as their family.So I was more than happy to let her meet my family, I was going to get Jasmine from Henry’s house tomorrow since I decided to let her spend the night with him. Henry and I will have to go over some things and come to a conclusion for the days he will be with her and me. We had a

    Gwen. I walked fully into the house but paused when I heard hushed voices coming from the kitchen. ‘So there are people in here after all.’ Moving quietly I decided to go check out who that was, the voices became clearer as I neared the kitchen. “I’m going to meet Mommy?” Jasmine asked with quite an excited voice. “Yes,” Henry replied and though I could not see them right now, I could tell he had a smile on his face as he answered her question. “And you said I can also have a sleepover with her right?” She asked again. “Yes,” Henry answered again. “But you aren’t coming with us, why?” I heard him sigh, I bit my bottom lip as I waited for his answer. I wonder what he was going to say to our daughter. “You should know this Jas, your mommy and I are not together anymore.” He told her. “Uh…why?” She inquired and I was sure she had that curious look on her face as she asked that. Even though she had a slight understating of what was going on, Jasmine always acts like she underst

    Gwen. “Hope her things are ready?” I asked trying to break the awkward silence. Henry nodded, “Yeah, but I left some of her things here. You know, maybe she can spend a night here with me someday.” He said sounding hopeful and I didn’t want to break that little hope he had in seeing his daughter. So I shrugged, not giving him an answer or denying his words either. “Mommy, why is Daddy not coming with us?” Jasmine asked pulling from the hug. My eyes met with Henry’s briefly before I brought them back to hers. “Because Jas and Mommy need some time together. You know just me and you and no one else.” I told her hoping that would answer her question but she seemed to have so many of them. “Why?”“Because mommy needs to spend some quality time with Jasmine, don’t you want to spend some time with me?” I asked her. She nodded her head. “I want to.” She placed her head back on my shoulder, and I let out a sigh of breath knowing I had avoided her questions. But that was too soon bec

    Gwen. I got to Jasmine's room in time to as her jumping around excitedly, I stayed by the door lost as I watched her move about arranging her things in her school bag. “Mommy! You are here!” I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her. I wiped the little tear from my eye and entered her room.“You are done packing?” I asked, looking around her room once again. It felt like years since I stepped into this place, and I have to admit that I did miss it. “Yes, mommy. Come see what daddy got for me,” she dragged my hand until we were standing in front of her mini vanity table. “What’s it, baby?” I asked. She excitedly pointed at the table and that’s when I saw a big box there,“What’s in there?” Jasmine giggled by my side, “You have to open it to find out Mommy else I won’t tell you.” What a kind daughter I have. “Alright, I’m opening it now,” I said and her excitement exhilarated. I opened the box slowly to drag the process, Jasmine was giggling beside me the whole time and f

    Henry. Jasmine's question threw me off guard, true I knew she was inquisitive and can be a bit annoying at times but she was still my daughter. I answered her questions the best way I could, and while doing that I hoped she would stop asking any more questions but I was proved wrong. Jasmine can never be satisfied with just one question, she asked more and then asked if I loved her and her mother. I will always love her with my life and I’m ready to give up everything I have for her even my wealth. Jasmine has this amazing ability to make everything feel right even when you are at your lowest and I thank Gwen for giving me such a sweet girl, she really brought her up well and I regret missing those amazing moments in her life. Gwen, I loved Gwen in my own way. I do not love her the way a man would love a woman, it was more of an agape love instead of a romantic one. I am ready to also be there for her when she needs help but romance wasn’t one of them. On top of that, I was glad s

    Henry.Drama was one thing I knew Emily was good at. She is the queen of that and deserves an award for being the best acting actress of all time. I got myself prepared to answer every one of her questions even though it’s self-explanatory. “What is she doing here Henry?” She asked, taking her eyes from Gwen and Jas to me and I didn’t fail to see the glare she passed at Gwen. “She came to pick up Jas,” I told her but clearly Emily wasn’t satisfied with the answer. I know what was going on in her head right now, what she was thinking. She’s coming up with baseless accusations against me once again. “Did she have to go upstairs? Couldn’t she wait for her daughter downstairs?” She asked this time sending a glare to Gwen, she didn’t care if I saw her or not. I looked at her and wondered what had come over her, she wasn’t like this before so why was she behaving like this; like someone was about to take her life from her? “Not now Emily, she came to pick up Jasmine and she’s done.

    Gwen. Bastard. Imbecile. Asshole. That was what Henry was. All of those things and even more. He was trying to make what he did wrong right even after knowing I was there. The bastard had never cared, not as I thought. He knew those sick acts would hurt me but decided to go with it anyway, yet he had the nerve to apologize. Imbecile. “Are you alright Mommy?” My eyes went to the rearview mirror as I looked at her. That’s when I found myself crying, I was crying and yet I had noises about it. “I’m fine, baby,” I told her as I secretly wiped my tears but as I said nothing can be hidden from Jas. “You are crying. That doesn’t look fine,” she answered. My little girl was all grown up now. “I’m fine baby, trust me,” I looked at her through the mirror again but saw her still giving me that skeptical expression. “Something just entered my eyes baby, so I had to cry to bring it out. I’m truly fine.” I explained further even though I was lying. She looks solemn all of a sudden,“Ar

    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

    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
