Henry.“Are you ready?” I asked, stretching my hand out for her to hold.“Yes, yes I’m ready,” she placed her hand on mine, and just at that moment the doorbell went off.Gwen looked at me, “are you expecting someone?” She asked.“Yeah. Let’s go,”We walked out of the hallway and I let go of her hand so I could get to the door.“Good evening my brother-in-law-to-be again,” Nina greeted with a small smile on her face.I could only smile at her for calling me that, she started calling me that after I was discharged from the hospital.“Thank you for coming Nina,” I told her softly so Gwen wouldn’t hear.She scoffed, “Don’t thank me. I’m ready to do anything as long as you make my sister happy and by anything, I mean watching over these cute little babies,” she gushed as she rushed over to them and started placing kisses all over their faces. The living room was filled with their laughter in no time.“Nina? I didn’t know you were coming over?” Gwen asked.Nina stopped what she was doing a
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

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
