Emily. Gwen and I were walking down the road filled with flowers, Gwen was busy making a stop at every flower to either touch or smell them but me, I was getting impatient. We have somewhere to be and yet she had to make a thousand stops in a minute. I wanted to speak out but for some reason, I couldn’t say anything or do anything, I could only watch Gwen move around from one flower to the other, sniffing and giggling happily to herself. I wanted to resent her for being this happy, I wanted to take the smile from her face but I couldn’t do anything. So I did what I could do, I stood there and watched everything unfold even though I had to remind her of the place we needed to be. I let out a sigh as Gwen made yet another stop just to watch a freaking butterfly. It seems like I could only move when she did and stop when she also stopped. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes and then opened them a minute later but instead of seeing myself in the fields filled with flowers, I saw mys
Emily. “Quit the act, Emily,” I blinked at him wondering what he was talking about. “I…I don’t understand,” I asked, looking at him in surprise. “You can stop trying to act like a docile lady when you aren’t, it’s irritating and I have had enough of that,” he said as he walked toward me again. “I….still don’t know….” I let my mouth shut with just a look from him. “What are you doing here Ian? I thought you said you wouldn’t visit again,” I asked, changing the subject. He merely glanced at me as he roamed around the hospital room. Yeah, I am still in the hospital. I didn’t want to leave and return to that cell so I had to go up with one excuse or another but the doctor has agreed to let me out this week. I watched Ian as he stopped at the cot and stared intensely. I wondered what he was staring at. “What’s wrong?” I had to ask when he didn’t say anything for over five minutes but just stared at the empty cot. “I have this one question in my mind as soon as I hear you are in th
Emily. Every single time, whenever Ian speaks about wanting his son, the child we both had together I always feel there’s something behind it. He wouldn’t just show up to ask for his child….someone he hasn’t asked for in years if he didn’t want anything. I looked at him to be sure he was serious about what just said, but he looked serious. Standing in front of me with his hands tucked in his pockets, his eyes staring into my soul I knew that he was serious. “Are you even listening to me?” He asked and all I could was nod. “Yes, you said something about taking the case to court?” He nodded. “What case exactly?” I asked. “I need to gain parental rights to my child Emily, he’s biologically mine and I have every right to get my child back from them,” he explained. “Have you ever wondered if that child wants to stay with any of us?” “Have you ever wondered if what he wants is to stay far away from us? Stay away from our horrible lifestyle?” I asked as I got up from the bed. If we
Gwen. Just three days of staying in our new home and it already felt like years, I missed the kids, and speaking with them on the phone doesn’t help anything. I want to see them, kiss them, and give them big squishy hugs until they complain about it. I love my time here with Henry but I need the kids. I looked at the man sleeping beside me and frowned, he shouldn’t be sleeping peacefully when I’m worried about the kids. He should also be awake with me or at least try to tell me that we will see them soon. I let out another sigh, was it the fifteenth one or the twenty-eighth one? I lost count after signing for the tenth time. I’m bored, I miss doing the house chores and anytime I try to do anything here Henry would always stop me from doing it. We aren’t on our honeymoon so he shouldn’t treat me like this, I need to do something to take my mind off things. I glanced at him again, and at the same time, my phone went off. I quickly picked it up so it wouldn’t wake Henry up, it wa
Henry.I stirred awake but not fully and rolled to my side intending to wrap my arms around the love of my life. But to my biggest surprise, the bed beside me was empty, I snapped my eyes open.Gwen wasn’t sleeping beside me, I rolled my back and looked around the room but she wasn’t anywhere.“Gwen,” I called but got no answer.I quickly took the bedsheet from my body and walked to the bathroom hoping she would be in there, but when I opened the door and couldn’t see her that’s when the panic began.“Gwen, baby,” I called again but got no answer.I rushed out of the room and searched for her everywhere. I kept calling for her but I got no reply.Nothing happened, she’s fine. She’s fine, I kept telling myself that as I searched from room to room.This place is secured and I have tight security around it, no one is allowed inside until I give consent and no one is sent out without me knowing.I made my way to the porch with my heart beating so loud that I could hear it. I heard low gig
Gwen.I couldn’t sleep the whole night, and even with Henry beside me that didn’t help at all. I was up thinking, trying to come up with ways to save Jason from his new founding father.I know one thing for sure that Ian doesn’t want him for a good purpose, he must have a reason for him to suddenly want Jason years after he abandoned him.“Go to sleep baby,” Henry whispered beside me. I glanced at him but found his eyes closed, I let out a sigh.“I’m trying,” I replied. His eyes were still closed but after a minute he peered them open.“Stop thinking about it, Gwen. Everything will take a good course tomorrow, I promise nothing will happen to Jason,” he said and wrapped his hand around my waist, pulling me close to him.I placed my head on his chest, while he pecked my forehead.“I hope you believe me when I say I wouldn’t let him take Jason from us?” He asked.I nod my head, “I do,”“There, you have nothing to worry about. Get some sleep, we have a long day ahead of us in the morning
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
