Henry.She’s acting like she doesn’t like the arrangement, I made everything the way I think she likes them. I don’t know Gwen that very well since our marriage didn’t work out but I know she loved flowers, she adored them. So that’s how I came up with this idea, it was beautiful but I don’t know why she doesn’t like it.My mood went from ten to complete zero, I was no longer feeling happy to show her the next thing I had in mind. Since she doesn’t like this one, I wonder if she would like the others.“I….I love it,” she stuttered and she didn't look like someone who loved this.“Okay,” I leaned back on my seat, and right at that moment the waiters started walking out with trays in their hands.I had actually locked down my newly opened restaurant for this evening, like I said I wanted everything to be perfect.Gwen looked at them with wide eyes as they placed the food on the table, they left as soon as they were done.“Wow, what….these look delicious,” she said, staring at the food i
Gwendolyn.I didn’t mean to spoil the date by bringing this up now but I wanted to get it off my chest. I knew Henry had been worried about me not liking what he planned but that wasn’t the case, I truly loved what he did and I’m surprised he could do something like this for a first date.It was totally different, it felt like seeing a new Henry being anxious and always wanting to know what I was thinking or if I liked the food or not. It was sweet to see him squirm in his seat during the meal but I had to say what was in my mind.I am worried, I have to tell him and I had planned to do that when I brought the letter I received earlier with me. I’d only wanted to show it to him when our date was over but I couldn’t hold it in anymore.I took a deep breath when I saw the worried lines on Henry’s face.I didn’t mean to stop whatever plan he had when I brought this up but as I said I want to get this off my chest. I wanted to make him aware of it, I didn’t want it to be like the last tim
Gwen.Everything is just perfect, Henry and I dancing under the moonlight with slow music playing around us and his gaze locked on mine. It’s just perfect, it’s more than what I’d expect for my first date with the man I love. Never in a million years would I think Henry could pull this off—hell I didn’t even think he could be this romantic, but here he is showing me the other nobody has ever seen before.“Have I told you how beautiful you are tonight?” He asked.I looked at him and smiled. Yes, he has. This would be the thirteenth time he has asked this.“Yes, Henry, you have.”“Well I don’t think that’s enough, you look so pretty tonight Gwen that I can’t seem to take my eyes off you,” he said, causing me to blush.“Thank you,” I gave him the same answer I have been giving to him for the last few minutes and I’m sure this wouldn’t be the last one.And even after saying that his eyes didn’t look elsewhere, he was staring at me, even though the room was dark and I couldn’t see his face
Emily. It’s still hard to believe that I have been in this damn place for months now, and what’s more unbelievable is that my trial starts tomorrow. Un-fucking-believable! I can’t believe I would be trialed when I have no hand in whatever Ryan did. True I called him, I planned to take what was mine and give him what he thought was his, that was the only thing I did. I didn’t plan for him to hire those thugs and guns. I didn’t plan for him to shoot those cops and Henry, I had no hand in any of those things but no matter how much I tried to prove my innocence, no one was ready to listen to me. I pace around the little room I was placed in—all because of Henry. After he left that day, I was checked by the annoying doctor before being taken to this room. It was the smallest prison I had ever seen and that wasn’t the only thing bothering me about it, I wasn’t the only one in it. The place was small for one person not to talk to three other people. Those stupid cops definitely do not kn
Emily. The pain was unbearable, I wanted it to stop. It felt like I was dying but I'm alive and still feeling the damn pain. I was placed in a car and two female cops stayed by my side, it's a wonder that they didn't handcuff me while we were driving to the hospital. The ride took forever and on my way, I kept on cursing the female cops beside me. I was feeling an intense pain from my waist down. At that moment I would do anything to cut off my waist from my body, I could remember giving birth to Jason and I didn't feel that much pain."Drive faster!" I yelled at the fucking driver. He was driving like a snail, I mean how long does it take to get to the fucking hospital?The pain hit me again and this time I had no choice but to hold one of the female cop's hands. I squeezed tightly and let the tears pour out.This was the worst torture I have ever gotten in my entire life, it felt like the baby was trying to punish me by coming earlier than the said time and not only that, she was
Emily.I dreaded what I was going to hear from her, I didn’t want her to say it. The look on her face could give me what I already know, I knew that the baby didn’t make it but I didn’t want to hear it from her.With the amount of pain and suffering she made me go through, I wonder why she didn’t make it.“Tell me Riley, what happened to my child?” I asked again with my heart beating wildly in my chest.Damn it! She should just open her mouth and say something instead of wasting time and adding to my fears.“You gave birth to a baby girl, Emily. I was doing my shift when I got a call from the cops, they told me you were here and I quickly rushed down. I came at the same time you were being operated on, they said you couldn’t push,” she explained with a sad smile.A baby girl. I knew it, I knew she was going to be a girl all along.But then, surgery. I gave birth through a C-section after the pain she put me through, was that the reason why I felt pain in my abdomen?“Where is she righ
Emily.I stayed quiet as the doctor did his checkups and answered his questions when asked. He was done in no time and told us that I was fine. According to her, what I need now is a good rest and for me to eat properly. She left after saying that I would be able to see my daughter if I did as she said.I’m ready to do as she said as long as I get out of this bed and see my baby. My little daughter, she’s going to be so different from Jason—I know I shouldn’t have done that to my little boy but at that time I had no choice. I have already made a vow to myself that I’m going to spoil and shower my little princess with love and whatever she needs; my little Amelia.“I hope you’re satisfied now?” I teased Riley who was busy getting the food ready. It was more water than food, it’s so light that I imagine how or when I’m going to be satisfied.“Yeah. Here,” she rushed to my side and helped me sit up a bit. I wouldn’t even call this sitting, she placed the food on the bedtable and took her
Gwen.Happiness and peace. That’s the only word I can use to describe what I’m currently feeling right now. I groaned as the bright sunlight hit my face, I was already awake but the sun was making it hard for me to sleep in more.Since today was a weekend I decided to sleep in with the kids. I know they are both asleep now since there hasn't been a knock on my door.I turned on my side and blinked at the sight of the bare-chested man next to me.My cheeks flushed again at the sight of it, I’d thought I would have gotten used to it by now but I still haven’t. It was too much of a sight for me.My eyes went to his face, even in his sleep Henry still looked handsome.That crease between his brows, the one he always had when he was thinking or angry was gone, making him look younger. His head was tipped back, his hair messy—due to me running my hand in his hair last night, his lips parted and his cheeks flushed.My eyes trailed to the slope of his nose, to the stubble on his jaw, and all
