Emily.It was another day in the hospital, another day that I had to count the days remaining for me to stay in this place.I don’t want to leave, to be honest, I want to keep staying in the hospital even though I’m fully healed. I don’t care if I had to hurt myself to stay here, all I care about is that I’m not returning to that cell.Knock.The door opened and someone walked in before I could even say ‘Come in’, I didn't need anyone to tell me who that person was.“How are you feeling today, Miss Emily?” She asked as she walked toward my bed.“I’m not feeling too good doctor,”“I’m not feeling too good doctor,” we both said simultaneously and my cheeks reddened.“I’ve heard you say that for the whole week Emily, and yet after a series of tests on you I still won’t be able to find anything wrong with you,” she added with that same annoying smile on her face.“I’m not fine, doctor, you are not the owner of my body so you can’t possibly know that,” I huffed.She chuckled softly, “Where
Emily.I stared at Ian speechless and shocked, what the hell! I shouldn’t be surprised he planned all of this.“I hope you aren’t too surprised to see me?” He asked with a cocky smile.“What do you want from me, Ian?” I asked glaring at him.He just kept on smiling and then told the driver to start the car.“Where are you taking me? You should know the cops will find you and arrest you for taking me out of their sight,” I kept on rambling but he didn’t show any sign that he was affected by what I was saying.“You should….” He cut me off.“Don’t worry yourself about it, they know you are with me,” he answered, causing me to gape at him in shock.What the hell did he just say?“How….”“Shhh,” he placed his finger on my lips.I blinked and then slapped his hand from my face.“Don’t touch me,” I warned but the bastard kept on smiling as I spoke.“Where are you taking me?” I asked as I looked out through the window.The road didn’t look familiar to me, so I had no idea where he was taking
Gwen.I had thought Emily being here would mean we are not getting Jason. I had thought she was in cahoots with the bastard Ian since they both know each other but never for once did I think she was going to backstab Ian.When she was called out, I could hear my heart beating so fast, I knew her words….whatever she was going to say would determine who Jason would stay with. I know that they are his real parents but I don’t want him to leave me.“Ian never wanted the child. He abused me while I was pregnant with the intent of losing the child. I wanted to keep the child because at that time I loved Ian and would do anything for him but he definitely didn’t think that way. He didn’t even care while I was in labor and not even after the child was born.” She paused and took in a deep breath.“I didn’t want to do it, I didn’t want to leave him in the streets but I had no other choice. Ian doesn’t want him and I’m all alone, there’s no way I could possibly raise him,” she sniffed and wiped
Gwen.Everything went quickly and after signing the papers that state Jason was finally ours (I added a clause where Emily and her sister could see him at any time, that’s if they want to) Ian didn’t leave the court. He couldn’t, Emily filed a complaint against him and they were also going to look deeper into his business with the mafia.“Is everything alright?” Jason asked as we stepped out of the courtroom.I looked at him but the tears wouldn’t stop coming out, I was just so happy.“Yes, Jace everything is okay,” Henry answered instead of me.He blinked and then looked at me, “but why are you still crying?” He asked.I smiled at him, “I’m fine Jace, I should feel so happy,” I sniffed while he looked at me weirdly.“Do people cry when they are happy?” He asked and both Henry and I nodded.“Yes, some people do. They get emotional when they are happy and that leads to tears,” I explained while wiping the tears from my face.Jason didn’t look like he bought my explanation with the look
Henry.I didn’t want her to talk with Emily or get close to her for any reason but knowing Gwen with her kind heart and how stubborn she is I knew I couldn’t convince her not to.Jason and I stayed inside the car in silence. All my attention was on Gwen who was speaking with Emily outside, I wouldn’t hesitate to act rashly if she did anything to Gwen.“Is it true?” Jason’s voice pulled me out of my head.I looked at him through the rearview mirror, “that?”“Is what that lady said true—the one that claims she’s not my mother?” He asked and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me he was talking about Emily.“What did she say?” But before he could answer I cut in.“And she is your mother, your biological mother. The one who gave birth to…”“I know what it means,” he cut in.Why wouldn’t he, he was too smart for his age.“Right, so what did your mother say?” I asked, causing him to pout his lips. I think he didn’t like that I called Emily his mother, but that’s the truth and nothing is goin
Henry.That night we had dinner but Gwen still wasn’t herself, she was either lost in her thoughts or wasn’t eating at all.I tried to ask her what was wrong every time but she didn't give me a better answer.It was past nine and I had to put the children to sleep since she couldn’t do it.“Good night Daddy,” Jason and Jasmine said simultaneously.I smiled and placed a peck on their foreheads, “good night babies,” I whispered, adjusting the sheets on their bodies before getting up.They both decided to sleep in one room since they have been doing that for a long time now and I had no qualms with that.I turned off the light and walked out while closing the door gently behind me. I looked down at the hallway and saw no one before making my way to the room—to Gwen’s old room.I’d expected her to have taken her bath and laid on the bed by now, but that wasn’t what I expected. Gwen was still in the dress she wore to court and hadn't taken her shower at all.I stopped walking and looked at
Gwen.Henry kept to his promise, the very next day after I told him about the kids (Emily's sister and her baby) he went ahead to started looking for them.The search didn’t go for long and in about two days he found them while they were trying to leave the country.How she wanted to take a baby out of the country still bothers me.At first, Emily’s sister, whose name I later found out to be Riley, didn’t want to go anywhere with Henry’s men. But after they persuaded her and told her Emily sent them, she begrudgingly followed them.At first glance, I already knew that Riley wasn’t Emily’s biological sister but I didn’t comment on that, she walked into the house holding the baby tightly to herself while looking around suspiciously.I couldn’t help but wonder what Ian must have done to her to make her this security-conscious.“Hi Riley, I’m Gwen…”She stared at me with wide eyes, “I know who you are.”I smiled, “great, it’s a good thing you already know who I am so there’s no need to in
Gwen.I gave some of my new clothes to Riley, she didn’t want to take them at first but after persuading her she took them and changed.I could finally see the baby—without the many clothes covering her, she was a cute baby and a very quiet one at that.Henry and the kids returned after buying some baby clothes and milk, since her mother wasn’t here I thought it would be okay for her not to starve.“We are home!” Jason yelled from the living room.“Is that him?” Riley asked as soon as we heard his voice.I nodded, “Yes, come down when you are ready,” I tapped her shoulder before leaving her room.“Mommy, come see what we bought!” Jas yelled, I followed their voices coming from the kitchen.They were all unpacking things and they looked excited,“Welcome baby,” I greeted and kissed their foreheads even though they weren’t paying attention.I looked at the stuff they got and sighed in relief when I saw everything the baby would need in there.“What about me?” Henry’s question pulled 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
