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,
Rickard's POVI pulled out a knife and dug it through Andrew's car tyre.The poison that Elena has been adding to Andrew's food isn't as effective as I was promised. Andrew only complains about chest pains, and it was taking longer than I expected.I looked left and right to make sure no one was watching me. The cracked tyre was bound to cause an accident.I saw Andrew and Fred leaving the mansion. In order to avoid not being seen, I increased my pace and hid behind Andrew's black Ferrari.I prayed silently to be lucky. I was crossing my fingers for Andrew to enter the Maybach that I had just tampered with.Fortunately for me, he decided to take the car. I watched as they drove away, grinning vindictively. I was sure that any moment from now, I will be told about the bad news or in this case, it's good news for me.“What are you doing just standing there? Let us go already," Elena said as she walked elegantly towards me. I still wondered how a pregnant woman could walk around in heels
Andrew's POVI studied both of their facial expressions and noticed a surprised look on their faces, which quickly faded.“W..h..at are you talking about?” Elena stuttered.“Do you rather prefer going to a hospital in the state prison?” I asked again, this time with a grimace on my face.“Fine. I was at the state prison. I only went there to confront Sophie” Elena barked.“Confront your accomplice? What about?” I asked in a sarcastic tone.“Why would she want Gwen dead?” “Oh, I see. You suddenly care about Gwen. When did this development start, Elena?” I inquired, raising my brow slightly.“What are you trying to say?” She yelled angrily.“She’s right Bro. I only went there to protect her in case Sophie tries anything funny” Rickard chipped in.“Okay, so you are now protecting her? Isn't that adorable?” I said, clapping my hands together in a hysterical manner.“Stop going through the corners Andrew, what do you mean?” Elena asked, glaring at me venomously.“Unfortunately Elena, I do
Gwen's POVI noticed Andrew's worried expression, but I could not confront him to find out what was wrong because there were guests in the house.“Gwen, Gwen” Granny called out, tapping me. “Wrap a cake piece for the neighbors,” She added.“Yes Gran Gran” I said, heading to the kitchen to get a wrapping sheet.After the party, everyone wished the boys a happy birthday and left the house with lots of presents for them.“Nanny Rose” I called out. “Are the luggages in Andrew's car already?” I asked.She responded with a nod.“Mommy, Mommy, where are we going?” Ethan said, pulling my shirt.“We are going to New York to see your grand dad” I replied, trying to secure my hair into a bun.“Nanny Rose, can you take the boys to the car?”"Yes, ma'am," she responded, leading the boys out of the room."They look pretty energetic for children who just had a busy evening," Granny remarked, laughing.“Are you sure you won't come along Granny, the boys could really need you” I tried to persuade her.
