Gwen's POVAndrew ran furiously towards Jake and attacked him viciously. I grabbed the white bedsheet on the bed and covered my almost naked body.Who knows what would have happened if Andrew had not arrived at the right time. Jake would have gotten his way with me.Andrew and Jake began exchanging blows. Jake fought better than I expected he would. Jake pulled out a small knife from his pocket and aimed it towards Andrew's neck. Fortunately, Andrew managed to avoid the attack.I got frightened because Andrew was losing the fight. I was certain Jake would not spare Andrew if given the chance.“You son of a bitch!” Andrew yelled angrily, kicking the knife out of Jake's grasp. The knife landed some few steps away from the bed I was on.I quickly stood up and reached for the knife. If Jake doesn't have the knife with him, it would lessen the chances of him hurting Andrew.I felt a strong grip on my hair the moment I picked up the knife. Jake yanked my hair forcefully, and I screamed in
Gwen's POVThe voice sounded exactly like the one I heard while being held captive at Jake's. It was the same voice suggesting that Jake should have me dead.I had no doubts about it because I clearly knew what I heard and prior to that, I knew that I recognized the voice from somewhere, but who would believe me?I needed to remain vigilant and discuss the situation with Andrew as soon as possible. He had always suspected Rickard of having impure intentions towards him, so there was a good chance Andrew would believe me.“Gwen, are you here?” Rickard called out, startling me out of my reverie.“Uhm, yes,..yeah, I am fine” I said, forcing a smile across my face.“Good!” He replied sternly. “Excuse me” He added, walking out of the room.***********Andrew and I got discharged from the hospital the next day. Fortunately, the wound was not too deep and did not come into contact with any of his vital organs.Andrew was subjected to bed rest for a full week while I was completely fine. I di
Gwen's POVRickard lowered his hand and moved a few steps away from me. He was trying so hard to keep a smile on his face but it was to no avail.Attorney Frederick moved a few feets closer to Rickard and I with a confused expression over his face.“Rickard, Gwen, what is going on here?” He asked more firmly, raising a brow up.“Uhm, it's nothing Dad, Gwen and I were just talking” Rickard instantly began to stutter.“Gwen?” Attorney Frederick called, casting a suspicious look at me. It was obvious that he was buying Rickard's words.“Yes sir, it is nothing to worry about” I said, forcing a smile across my face.“Are you sure?”I smiled lightly and nodded.“Excuse me, I have to go now. Think about what I said Gwen” Rickard said, winking at me before making his way out of the kitchen.If Attorney Frederick hadn't been here, I would have pierce his eyes with a knife so that he wouldn't have the nerve to wink at someone else in future.“Your Dad has arrived. He is waiting for you in the l
Andrew's POVI awoke to an excruciating pain on my chest. I managed to get to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection, dizzy and struggling to maintain my balance.My reflection was looking pale and dehydrated. I bent my head to rinse my face. After washing my face with cold water, I instantly began to feel nauseous.Using both hands, I clutched my head firmly. The room appeared to be spinning in a circle. In less than a second, I found myself on the cold floor throwing up.What amazed me most was that I was throwing up a substantial amount of blood. It was unusual for someone to vomit just blood and that much amount.“Gwen!” I called out in a low tone, coughing continuously . “Gwen!” I called, louder than the previous call.I couldn't think of a possible explanation for what I was experiencing. Was it possible that Jake poisoned the blade that he pierced through my chest?The door to the room suddenly opened and I heard footsteps racing towards my direc
Gwen's POVAs if she had just seen a ghost, Elena's face went pale.“I am here now, why don't you continue telling Andrew what I did to you” I remarked, sarcastically.I had no idea Andrew was rushed back to the hospital, not until Attorney Frederick called to inform me some minutes ago.I could not stop myself from rushing to the hospital to see how Andrew was doing for myself.To be honest, he did not look particularly good. He looked pale and extremely sick which scared the life out of me. A single stab could not have had this much of an impact in just a few hours.“You always have to show up and ruin things” Elena said underneath her breathe, clearly looking frustrated.“Have the guts to say it to my face at least. What ever happened to the bold Elena?” I said, mockingly.“You…” Elena yelled, lifting her hand to slap me.As expected, I anticipated that move and managed to seize her hand in midair. “I won't let you do that Elena. If you try to touch me again, I will make sure you

Gwen’s POVDad took the boys out shopping, leaving me at home alone with Christine, the maid and Nanny Rose.I admired how my father and the children were bonding. They were no longer constantly bothering me because their grandfather was present to fill the void.That evening, I received a call from my father. He informed me that he and the children would not be spending the night at home. Apparently, his friend threw a birthday party for his children which was to be held overnight.My father believed that my children needed a fun break after what they had gone through a few days ago, and I agreed.I decided to take a long bath and then unwind for a few hours before watching Netflix and relaxing.In the bathroom, I couldn't help but to think of the last conversation I overheard between Rickard and Elena.I tried thinking of many schemes to expose her but nothing was coming up. I even considered inviting an obstetrician to the house to examine her in front of everyone, but what if thin
Gwen's POVIt was two days to Christmas and I was back at Andrew's farmhouse. Andrew, however, had not been discharged from the hospital yet until later that evening.Jake was apprehended by the FBI and placed in their custody. He was yet to make any confession on who his accomplice was even though I knew without any doubt that it was Rickard.In the Christmas spirit, I became preoccupied with decorating the Christmas tree and wrapping presents for my boys. They enjoyed Christmas because everything was colorful and they received new gifts."Gwen, could you please help me wrap these?" Attorney Frederick asked, handling me some presents."Yes, sir," I smiled as I collected them.Since childhood, I have always enjoyed wrapping presents, even though my mother would not let me do it most times because I kept snooping on the gifts.“I will be going out to get some snacks from the supermarket. After that, I will go pick up Andrew from the hospital. Would you like to come along?" Attorney Fre
