Gwen's POV

The 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.

    Gwen's POV “Gwen!” Attorney Frederick called out as soon as he saw me. "It is so nice to have you here," he said, hugging me lightly. Attorney Frederick has always been nice and comforting towards me. Even though he was aware of the allegations leveled against me, he never judged me. “It's been a while Sir. You don't seem to be ageing,” I said, teasingly. Attorney Frederick let out a hearty laugh. “Don't flatter me Gwen, I am now a grand dad” He said, turning his gaze to the kids. “You sure are. I hope the kids are not being mischievous?" “We are getting along well. They are the exact replica of my son” Attorney Frederick said. “Breakfast is ready” The maid announced, and we all proceeded to the dining table. For some reason, Mrs Rachel was wearing a scowl on her face throughout breakfast. “Gwen dear, have you considered coming back to New York? Your Dad needs a successor as soon as possible” Attorney Frederick said, sipping a glass of orange juice. “Uhm, actually s

    Gwen's POVI noticed Rachel standing a few feet away from me when I flicked on the light in my room.I turned around to look for something I could use to defend myself, but I could not find anything. The cabinet was too far away from my bed for me to reach.“Mrs Gilbert?” I said, trying to hide how frightened I was.“Oh please Gwen, call me Rachel” She said, this time around with a smile across her face. She walked towards my bed and sat on it.“What can I help you with? It is late, Rachel," I said, regaining my composure, knowing she can not hurt me because Andrew will not spare her.“I came to apologize for my outburst earlier today. I was just upset,” She said, apologetically.“You couldn't wait till tomorrow?”“No, actually. I do not want you to have the wrong impression of me. Rickard is my only son, and more than anything, I would also like him to be here” She said, wiping away the tears welling up at the corners of her eyes.“I understand.” I said calmly.“Can you please convin

    Gwen's POVThe car's window rolled down, and I recognized the face of the driver right away.“Jake?”“Gwen, what are you doing here? When did you come?” He hurled a barrage of questions at me.“I flew in some days back. It's a long story actually” I said, trying to sound as polite as possible.“Good thing I have all the time. Where are you going? I could drop you off.” He offered with a warm smile.“I was actually going to Jane's shop. I am glad I bumped into you”“Hop in. You don't want to keep her waiting now, do you?” Jake joked as he unlocked the door to his car.I got in the car and canceled my Uber ride.“So, why are you suddenly in New York?” Jake asked, turning to look at me."My children's Grandad wanted to spend the holidays with his grandchildren," I explained.“Oh. Attorney Frederick right? He is an influential man here in New York and also wealthy” Jake said.“Yes. He is also a very decent man. People fail to notice that” I added.“Yeah, sure.” Jake mumbled under his brea

    Andrew's POV“What do you mean Gwen isn't with you?” I growled furiously. “I mean she was, but she left the spa parlor angrily” Rachel said shaking. I could see fear on her face but that didn't matter to me. If I could tear her into pieces in order to get my answers then I would.“You fucking took Gwen out of the house and didn't bring her back? Are you hearing yourself Rachel?” I shrieked angrily, my fist clenched tightly.“Don't you dare talk to her in that tone” My father yelled angrily, defending his wife.“Or else what? You will make sure I rot in jail for raising my voice at your wife? The same one who is responsible for Gwen's disappearance?” I said, sarcastically.“I can understand you are angry Andrew but watch how you talk to me” My father said, exasperatedly.“It was obvious that Rachel never wanted Gwen around. She was upset that her useless son wasn't here”“Andrew!” Rachel yelled, slapping me hard across the face, with tears streaming down her cheeks. “Don't you dare!”

    Rickard's POVI could not shake the feeling that I was being watched, but no matter where I looked, no one was there.“It took you long enough” Elena said, yanking off the basket of fruits I had just purchased.“Your cravings are getting quite unnecessary. I now understand why Andrew ran away from you” I murmured under my breath, scowling hardly.“What did you say? You bastard!” Elena yelled, throwing a bunch of grapes towards me. “You fucking put me in this fucking condition”“Me? I told you to get rid of the baby but you are being stubborn for some stupid fucking reason” I yelled back at her.“This child is the reason we both are still in the house” “The reason why you are still in this house” I said, stressing the word ‘you’. “And besides, it's also my child, I have every right to decide if I want to have it or not” I added.“You are impossible” Elena hissed, angrily dashing out of the room.I was still absorbed in my anger when I heard a vase break. I rushed out of the room and s

    Rickard's POVI stormed into the room where I had kept the children captive. Their instant sobs and screams became a nuisance to my ears.“Would you both shut up for fuck sake?” I yelled, throwing a wooden chair across the room, and the kids shook with fear.I made the room comfortable for them, I mean, I still remain their favorite uncle right?"I want to go to my mummy," Ethan stated, rubbing his cheeks with both hands.“Shut up you little brat, mummy is not coming” I yelled, slamming my hand against the wall vigorously.Elena rushed into the room as Ethan's sobbing became louder."Oh, poor child, do not cry," she said, stepping closer to Ethan. She sat on the room's bed and cradled Ethan in her arms.“You really don't have to scare them like this Rickard. They are our key to a good life” Elena said, staring at me intently.I scoffed audibly.“Since when did you start to care about the children and their well being?” I asked sarcastically."I am not a monster, Ricky, I have always h

    Gwen's POV I watched how Andrew's face turned pale. I had no doubt that Rickard was on the other end of the phone. Andrew lowered the phone from his ear and stared at me without saying anything. “What happened?” “He threatened to harm the children, but I won't let him Gwen, I promise” Andrew said, taking my hands into his. "I know you won't," I replied, smiling lightly at him. He was the only person I fully trusted to bring my kids back. He was their father, he had the money and influence and I knew he was willing to give Rickard all his properties. He loved the boys that much. “Let me drive you home Gwen” Andrew offered. “I came with Ricky, it's only right I go back with him” I declined politely. “Alright Gwen, I will meet you at the house” Andrew said, softly planting a kiss on my cheeks. I got into the car with Ricky and he drove me home. On the way to the house, I could not stop thinking about how Rickard learned about our plan to ambush him. It only meant one thing, so

    Andrew's POVI impatiently stared at the footage that captured how Rickard bulged into the house and came out with my children.“How could you be careless? You were assigned to look after my children," I yelled angrily, slamming my hands against the table.My phone began buzzing just as the chief of police was about to speak. It was an unknown number. I had an immediate suspicion that it was Rickard calling.I picked my phone and placed the call on loud speaker. The chief of police quickly asked his assistant to connect my mobile phone to the cellular location system in order to track down Rickard's exact location.“Hello big bro” Rickard said over the phone.“You scoundrel, where are you? Where are my children” I yelled vehemently over the phone.“Oh big bro, why are you being aggressive? The kids are having a little fun time with their favorite uncle” Rickard said sarcastically over the phone.My anger surged, and I could feel my blood crackling. If I ever get my hands on Rickard, I

    Gwen's POV“No! No! No!” I continuously kept on saying. With every word I said, I took a step back.I almost lost my balance if not because of Ricky who supported me from behind.Nanny Rose lay on the floor in her own pool of blood, and the room's window was wide open.Ethan and Evan were not in their beds, and I could feel my heart breaking into little pieces. I released myself from Ricky's grip and ran towards the window.“Ethan! Evan!” I yelled at the top of my voice.Granny rushed into the room and was taken aback as soon as she saw the scene. She quickly took out her phone and dialed the ambulance.Ricky dashed out of the room to inform the cops about the kidnapping.I was left in shock and I kept on calling out to my boys, magically hoping that they would appear in front of me.I sat on the floor and burst into tears. My children were my weakness and if anything should happen to them, I don't think I would ever move on.I wished I had put them to bed myself, then maybe all this

    Gwen's POVI sat beside Andrew staring at him quietly. His chelation therapy had been going on for more than four days, and he was already doing well.The pale color of his skin was gradually vanishing and he was regaining his actual skin complexion.The doctor said that if he continued to respond well to the treatment, he would be discharged in less than a week.I tucked his hands into mine and gently squeezed them.“They won't get away with what they did to you, I promise” I said softly.Suddenly, I heard the door to the room unlocked.“Fred, is that you?” I said, slightly turning my face in the direction of the door.“Attorney Frederick,” I exclaimed, getting up to my feet. “You are here?”“Well yes, I flew to Oklahoma as soon as I heard the news. How is Andrew doing?” Attorney Frederick asked, moving closer to Andrew's bed.“He is responding well to treatment sir. He will soon be back on his feet” I spoke calmly.“Did Rickard really do everything he was accused of?” Attorney Frede

    Rickard's POVI continued to clench my teeth. If I had not followed Andrew out of the house, I would probably be in jail by now.“Damn it” I exclaimed furiously.I sat on the bed in the small room and dug my hands into my hair. How could I have been so dumb not to notice that i was being followed.“Fuck!” I yelled, smashing my phone across the wall.“There is no use smashing your phone across the wall Rickard. You sold us out” Elena glared furiously.“What the hell are you even saying? You should be glad I brought you along with me” I said angrily.I instantly regretted my decision. I should not have told Elena about Andrew's discovery. I should have gone into hiding and let her pay dearly for our crimes.Now I was stuck with her and her constant nagging. I was sure that going to jail wouldn't be as bad as being in the same space with Elena.Perhaps I should just turn myself in to the police.“God damnit” I murmured to myself.“We are fucking low on cash Rickard.

There were officers patrolling around my house.I asked Fred to wait for me in the car while I went to get some of my stuff in the house.“Gwen, what is going on?” Granny said as soon as she saw me walking in. She carried that worried look across her face which made me wonder when all this will come to an end.“Remain in the house Granny and make sure you keep a close eyes on Ethan and Evan.” I said before dashing upstairs.Granny wouldn't just settle f
