“Look how pretty she is. Oh, Richard, you should keep this one.” She says with her arms still around me and I turn to Richard for help, he looks at my arms that are still lying limply by my sides and gives me a cold glare.Instantly, I take my arms around her and hug her back. This seems to make her pleased because she hums.“What about my grandchildren? Where are they?" She asks after breaking our hug, going into the car to look inside.“Well?" She looks at me, and then her eyes move to Richard, waiting for our answers.She seemed so excited to meet them and for some reason, I felt happy. At least I know they would get accepted into this family and wouldn't get bullied by anyone.“They stayed with the nanny. I wanted Gabby to meet you without the children so she wouldn't feel overwhelmed by everything. You'd meet them soon" Richard says, holding my waist and I wondered if that was truly the reason he didn't bring them or if he was just telling his mom that just because.“Don't worry,
Everyone at the table stared at us in confusion, looking between us two.If Mark had acted like he didn't know me then everything would have been better.Even Richard seemed surprised that we knew each other.“You two know each other?" Christy asked surprised, asking the question everyone wanted to ask."No.” I forced out at the same time he answered with a “Yes."I look at him, glaring at him furiously. If he thinks that everything would be okay between us, he is just dreaming.“Gabby, I've been looking all over for you. You changed your number and you moved out of your place, you left without saying anything and you didn't give me a chance to explain what had happened." Mark starts and my grip on the spoon tightens more.I feared that I would break the spoon with how tight my grip on it was."Mind the way you talk to my wife," Richard says, placing his hand over mine on the table to release my grip on the spoon.Mark's eyes go to our hands, and a frown forms on his face.“Wife?" He
I open my eyes when I feel myself being lifted, holding onto Richard's jacket.“What are you doing?" I asked groggily.He was walking toward his mansion with me in his arms, I was expecting him to wake me up when we got to his place.“You are sleepy, sleep." He orders, still not keeping me down.“What about the kids? I need to check on them to know if they are alright. What if they need me?” I ask him, hoping that would be enough reason for him to let me down. But he doesn't."I can walk,” I say, staring up at him. It was dark already, but the lights were on around the house.“You have to go to work tomorrow. Sleep. You'd need the energy to make up for all you missed today.” He says and I groaned causing him to chuckle.I forgot about that. He pushed open a room door and carried me to the bed, gently placing me on it.“Thank you for today." He says then walks away, not giving me the chance to say anything else.What was he thanking me for? It's part of the contract for me to act as hi
What exactly does he mean by that, and how do I look by the way? Well, I just hope he isn’t making a mockery of me but I am starving, and nothing he says now can cause me to change my mind from taking from this delicious meal right in front of me.Whatever that means, I think it would be nice if he spoke to me like I’m human and not some AI he has working for him in his company.“How do you me?” I asked, curious to find out what he meant by that, I think I need some clarity on what is happening.Yes, I was dead hungry and couldn’t wait to devour that delicious meal I saw staring back at me, taking from the food on the table and walking away just like he never said such demeaning words to me wouldn’t cost me a thing.Whatever the case may be I’m sure I deserve some respect, and it would be nice if he accorded me that and not speak to me like some piece of trash. But no I insisted I wanted to know his reasons for what he said, so I proceeded by asking him once more cause he acted like
-Mark’s POV-Well Gabriella I didn’t come here so we could start beating ng around the bush, I came here for a reason which is to try another chance with you.Don’t get me wrong Okay? I know you're married to my uncle, yes, but I think we are kinda meant for each other considering his age difference. And I will never have peace knowing that you are in the arms of an older man.Look Gabriella I waited for you I thought you would come back for me, I gave up a lot of job offers just so I could remain in town and not change location, cause something was telling me you would come back for me.But I guess I was wrong anyway, 'cause you chose to go for someone who weighs older than you are, and from what I figured out you're not happy in this union, cause the whole thing looks strange to me.There’s no chemistry anywhere between you guys, You tend to force communication but that’s by the way and I don’t want to say exactly, what my mind is telling me. So I’m going to ask you Gabriella and p
What insolence, and I think I had better keep a distance from this young man cause I can’t imagine This back and forth He would have been the ideal man for me but he chose my best friend instead, It keeps bothering me though, what exactly did she do that Got Mark attracted to her?I was ready to make our relationship work, and I gave it my all, I tried to be the best I could but he chose to cheat on me with my own best friend, I think whatever attracted him to Veronica should be good enough to make him consider getting married to her.Wow, it looks like I’m going to get home late today, I suddenly said to myself when I checked my time, I quickly got the rest of my work done cause I was wondering what would happen to my kids If I didn’t get to pick them up in time.Cause from the look of things Richard looked like he was having a busy scheduled day, and I doubted if he was going to make it to their school today, I quickly got the things I needed to go home with and hurriedly left the
-Mark’s POV-Oh wow, Gabriella ran away with my pregnancy, so she knew she was pregnant for me and didn’t bother to let me know about it?Did she think taking a thing like this away from me would make her feel any better? And now she’s having my children grow under my uncle, making him believe he’s the biological father of them.Well, the last thing I would tolerate is watching another man raise my kids while I’m still alive, May God forbid that.The girls look really beautiful and I wish I was there when they were a bit tender, at least to build the Bond, but I’m here now and I will try my best to be the best dad I can be.I couldn’t wait for her to come closer cause I had tons of questions to ask her, And I couldn’t wait to get the answers to them. They move closer and the one on the left-hand side looks even more beautiful, oh my goodness how I wish I could receive a warm hug from her She looks so innocent.Can I just hear her call me daddy Already? I said dying of imagination bu
It’s almost impossible to think Mark still has this many feelings for me, seeing him drop tears moments after we left where he is.Could this be real? A lot of questions thrilled through my mind, cause it’s hard to believe thou,I loved him more but ever since I caught him cheating everything died.So I doubt whatever feelings he has towards me right now is anything close to real,Cause If I could move on like nothing ever existed between the both of us, then I see no reason why he’s finding it difficult to do so too.Unless he’s got some plan going down his mind, But whatever that is I will make sure he doesn’t pull through with it, and I will try my best to see him stop real fast. Hmmm... I took a long breath knowing that was still almost impossible, cause how could I possibly not see him when I’m practically married into his family?A lot of thing looks so impossible right now and hope I can come up with an idea on how to fix this mess, Cause I’ve quite fallen for Richard but it’s
