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
Andrew's POV“Oh great! The perfect guests had arrived” I said sarcastically as soon as I saw Elena and Rickard walk in.Fred informed me prior to that time that he had new information for me but I told him to hold on because I was carried away with finding Gwen.Rachel rushed to hug Rickard passionately. I went back to my coffee ignoring all of them.“Baby,” Elena said, walking up to me. “Rickard told me….”I stood up firmly and walked out on her without allowing her to complete her statement. She was certainly the last person I wanted to talk to right now.I personally involved the FBI in the case. They are the only association with the skills, equipment and intelligence to find Gwen as soon as possible.I drove off to the FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. With my father's influence, as well as my power and reputation, the FBI took on Gwen's case and began investigating it almost immediately.Within two hours, my attention was drawn to the headquarters. A new video was discovered
Andrew's POVI grabbed my car keys and rushed downstairs. I drove to the location that was sent to me by the FBI special Agent, Philip.It was an old mansion in the middle of nowhere which had been abandoned for a while. It looked old and was already cracking.“Which psychopath discovered this place?” I thought out loud.There were trails of a car tyre coming to the mansion but there wasn't one leaving the mansion.Could Gwen possibly be here?“Let's go!” The special agent ordered his team and they broke down the door. I trailed after them, feeling extremely nervous.There were signs that someone had been in the house recently because the stairs that was supposed to be entirely covered in dirt weren't.We got upstairs and saw a wooden door. “Break it down!” The agent ordered.In a matter of a few seconds, they were able to break down the door. On entering the room, the only furniture in the room was a queen sized bed and a wooden chair.The bed was scattered which meant that someone
Gwen's POVI slowly opened my eyes and groaned in pain. It was then that I realized I was not in the same room I woke up the previous time.I grabbed my head, experiencing an excruciating pain.This room was bigger and looked modernized. It has a king sized bed, a furniture set and a television which was on.“That's me” I murmured underneath my breathe when I saw a video of myself being played on the television.The video was an old one which I recorded when I was still in college. I was surprised to see it displaying on the television even when I personally did not have the video.“My beautiful Gwen. You have always been attractive, do you know that?” I heard Jake's voice. I turned and focused my gaze at the door where Jake was leaning.He had a sly smile plastered across his face and it creeped me.“You bastard, let go of me” I yelled, making an attempt to attack him but my body was very weak. I had no idea what Jake had done to me but I couldn't control my body.“Your fierce nature
Gwen's POVI tried every key, but the lock did not break. The only option I had was to use the small knife attached to the keys to break open the lock.“Please let this work, please let this work” I continued to chant.“Yes!” In a low tone, I shrieked with excitement. The effects of the drugs Jake had given me had not completely worn off, but I could now move my body more freely.I opened the door and rushed to the exit of the house. It was also locked but I managed to break it open with the knife.The house was surrounded with trees and from the looks of things, there wasn't another house in the area.I started running as fast as my leg could carry me. I arrived on an empty road just a few minutes away from the house. I was surprised to see the road there but more surprised that there were no moving vehicles.Suddenly, I heard a car approaching from the end. I instantly started jumping and waving my hand to attract the vehicle towards me.“Please help, help me” I screamed loudly, in
