Gwen's POVI opened my eyes slowly. I was still feeling very dizzy. The last thing I remembered was my nose being covered before I passed out.I was sitting in a chair and could not seem to move either of my hands. It was then that I noticed that my hands were both tied tightly to the chair.The room was empty, with only one chair in the middle. I was seated on the chair and I didn't seem to recognize where I was.There was only one bulb hanging and two windows. “Help! Is anyone here?" I yelled, vigorously shaking the chair, but it did not move.My call for help seemed to have attracted someone to me as I heard footsteps approaching the door that lead to the room.The door opened, and four men walked in. I was taken aback because I didn't seem to recognize any of them. “Who are you guys? Please let me go” I screamed.“She's making too much noise boss, do you want me to shut her up” One of them said."No, I love them loud!" The one addressed as the boss responded.“What do you want w
Gwen's POV“Ricky” I said, slowly. His lips were still on mine, so my voice was muffled.I knew that Ricky and I were in a relationship but I felt like I was doing something wrong.The intensity with which he kissed me increased, and his hands were already inside my shirt. He made an attempt to unhook my bra, then I managed to push him away.“Ricky, please stop” I said, my hands firmly pressed against his chest.“Why should I? You are my girlfriend," he said, gazing deeply into my eyes.How could I tell him that I could not let him touch me because I only wanted Andrew's touch? How could I tell him I was just fantasizing about being in Andrew's arms? How could I tell him I had not fully moved on?"It is getting late, I should leave," I said, leaping off the sofa."Gwen," Ricky said, clasping my hand. "Let me at least see you off."I nodded and smiled.The walk to my house was a quiet one. It was visible that Ricky had something to say but he was trying to refrain himself.“You know y
Andrew's POV I dashed downstairs while on the phone with the lieutenant. I specifically instructed him to dispatch police officers to Gwen's home.Sophie had escaped from prison, and I was certain she would want to exert revenge on Gwen.“Hey bro, where are you running off to?” I heard Rickard call out.“It's none of your business,” I exclaimed angrily.“I could come….”I didn't wait for Richard to complete his statement, I dashed out of the house. When I arrived at the parking lot, Fred was already waiting for me.“Are you set to go boss?” He asked.“I would drive myself there.” I said this while collecting the car keys from him.“I need you to figure out who Elena goes to see at the building. I have no doubt she connived with Sophie, I need all the information I could get” I ordered.“Alright sir.” He replied firmly.************When I arrived at Gwen's house, the officers were already assembled outside.I walked inside and found Gwen, her grandma and the boys in the living room.
Andrew's POVIn my hands, I was holding a photograph of Rickard and I. The picture was taken two years back at my father's birthday party.What I could not figure out was what the photo was doing here. Does this imply that the person who stayed in this apartment was specifically targeting Rickard and I, or that Rickard rented the apartment?I tried to think of a possible explanation but nothing was coming.“Let's go Fred” I ordered, storming out of the room with the photograph in my hands.********“What's going on in your mind boss?” Fred asked, staring at me through the rearview mirror.“A lot of things. Do you think it's possible that Rickard rented that same apartment?”“But that would mean Elena and Rickard are extremely close because she visited there often.” Fred said, taking a new turn to Gwen's place.I have seen them at a club and Elena flatly denied it. Also I remembered how he called her at the hospital and she was very defensive about it. Things are starting to make sense
Gwen's POVI walked over to the drawer and brought some wipes. I used it to clean the blood on Andrew's palm.“How long has this been going on?” I inquired, alarmed.“Just a few days,” Andrew answered, still coughing.“Don't think it will be advisable to see a doctor?”“I am just stressed out Gwen, i will be fine” Andrew said, tucking my hair behind.My face flushed and I immediately let go of his hand. “You could spend the night here if you don't feel too good, I will get the guest room ready” I offered.“I would love that.” Andrew said, smiling broadly.I walked out of the room leaving Andrew and the boys. I felt he needed to be alone with them. I quickly arranged the guest room, spreading new bed sheets, duvet and pillow cases. I informed Andrew that the room was ready and he met me in it a few minutes later.“How is your cough now?” I asked, sitting on a chair across the bed.“I'm feeling better now” He said, settling on the bed."Okay, Andrew, you can call me if you need anythin
Andrew's POVI pulled over at Gwen's house and noticed a figure that looked familiar trying to drag a body.The officers were so busy guarding the gate that they didn't notice what was going on in the house.“Hey, who are you?” I yelled, charging towards the direction.The figure turned and looked at me and I saw her face visibly well. “Sophie, how dare you show up here?” I screamed angrily.She quickly let go of Gwen and started running. I alerted the police officers and trailed after her with full speed.She was unable to keep up with the pace and began to run slower than before. In no time, I had caught up with her.“Let go of me” She screeched, trying desperately to free herself from my grip. I retained her firmly and waited for the police officers to arrive.Sophie was handcuffed and just as she was about to be taken into the police vehicle, she turned around and smiled at me.“Can I speak to her for a second?” I asked the sergeant in charge of coordinating the police officers.H
Gwen's POV“No!” I yelled, panting loudly.The last memory I had was Sophie attacking me with a bat.“Gwen, are you okay?” I heard Ricky ask, squeezing his hands against mine. That helped calm me down a little.“So..pp..hi..ee” I stuttered.“Sshh, it's okay, you are safe now” Ricky said, stroking my hair gently.I scanned the room, and no one needed to tell me that I was in the hospital. “Sophie has been arrested. She is currently being retained by the police” Ricky said softly, trying to calm me down.I gave a sigh of relief.At the very least, things would return to normal, and I would no longer have to leave in fear, and my boys would be able to play in the neighborhood.“She attacked you and attempted to take you away. Thank goodness Andrew saw her right in time and was able to stop her” Ricky explained.“Did anybody get hurt?”"Nobody did, Gwen. You were her target” Ricky answered firmly.“Gwen, you are awake?” I heard Granny say this as she pushed the door to the room where I w
Gwen's POVThe atmosphere between Ricky and I was tense. I could easily lie to him, but I did not want to. He deserved better.“Ricky,” I spoke softly. “I don't think I have ever stopped loving Andrew,” I added.Ricky snorted loudly. “I thought as much. So you were using me to get over him, is that it?”“No, no,” I said, reaching for his hand. “Believe me Ricky, more than anything, I want to love you the way you deserve,” I said, glaring into his eyes.Ricky pulled his hand away from me and got off the bench.I got up to trail after him and found Andrew standing in front of Ricky and I. His facial expression clearly indicated that he had heard our conversation.After giving Andrew a menacing look, Ricky stormed off.“Ricky, please stop,” I called out.“Let him go Gwen,” Andrew said, holding me by the arm.“Sophie has been caught now. You are no longer needed here” I said, pulling my arm away. I left him standing there while I went after Ricky.“Ricky, Ricky!” I called him repeatedly,
