GWEN'S POVThe sun was retiring as the kids gathered around the table on the vast patio delightfully munching on their food. None of the food splayed on the table appealed to me. I was unsure if it was because my stomach was building up or because of the anxiety of looking after these girls for the weekend."Are you alright?" Carly whispered when she had the chance. I paused from serving the girls to nod with a faint smile. "I'm good."It wasn't totally a lie, I was beginning to relax. Seeing just how much these little girls were depending on made me relax a bit. From assisting them to unpack to having their baths and tho dressing for dinner was a lot and it kept my mind away from my disdaining thoughts. "You look pale." She added searching my face. "I'm fine."I really was fine, I offered her a smile and put some fries on my plate, took a glass of soda, and returned to my seat. I didn't bother to glance over to the boys' table, they were managing just perfectly with Mandy and of

Gwen's POVMy phone buzzed. The annoying sound didn't go off, my eyes flickered open as my fingers went to snooze the alarm. Then it instantly grazed my mind where I was and why I was here. Why we were here. My sleepy eyes darted to the three bunk beds with two kids each on it.I snoozed the alarm, stretched, and noticed it was six a.m. time for the morning run. I glanced at the sleeping girls again and decided they looked so comfortable sleeping and not going for the morning run wasn't going to affect them in any way. I rolled over to my side and tried to catch up on some extra sleep. But my mind reminded me these girls were here on this trip to get the full experience. If they missed out on what the rest of the kids were greatly involved in then they were never going to get the full experience. I yawned and got out of bed. How hard could this be? I was pushing through just one more night and this would be all over. I moved over to each of them, gently shaking them to wake up.

ANDREW'S POV"I don't drop in on you whenever you work, so please don't," Elena called out from the bathroom as she took out a few makeup supplies to the vanity counter. She had a makeup brand that was thriving. She worked hard in advertising her products since she was the face of her brand, but bringing work on vacation was a no for me. "You said no work on vacay, are we going to break that rule just yet?" I called out from the room."No work for you, but me." She popped out of the bathroom in a gray bathrobe and a red lipstick on her lips. "Babe, what do you think about the shade?" She asked.I didn't know a thing about makeup but if she wanted to know if it looked good on her then yeah, after all, she was the girl that looked good in anything, everything and nothing. "Looks perfect," I replied with my eyes not leaving her lips. "Great." She smiled broadly, "So now I'm going to get started relax I'm not doing full face makeup since we're sunbathing.""Why do you need makeup jus

ANDREW'S POVIt was hard to try to get some sleep that night. I wasn't entirely fazed out by Elena's soured mood. It didn't matter to me, it was her typical attitude that was driving me insane. All that was roving through my mind was the things Elena said to me. They plagued my mind keeping me up all night. I lay thinking of nothing but what Gwen was doing. Was she sleeping all by herself or had our divorce given her a chance to live more freely and more wildly? With Elena deep asleep in the room, occupying the big bed I was on the sofa in the living area of the villa house. It was hard to join her in bed even though she had given the liberal and slurry invitation but not when Gwen seized my mind.It was harder than I could ever have imagined to get her off my mind and worse, Elena had added more fuel to the fire. There was a movement outside the villa house. I could see the black shadowy figure outside the apartment. Then the next figure and when I heard a window break, I knew t

Gwen's POV Sunday morning was pretty sunny. It was a vibrant morning and it radiated through to the girls' smiles all the time I brushed their hair and helped them into the dresses for the day. The girls clung to me seeming to have what to say at all times. "You look better this morning." Ricky handed me the sunflower he had gotten from who knows where. I stared at the flower and crunched my nose. "I'm not going to receive that.""I thought we were cool?""No. I don't want us to be. You keep your distance." I spoke firmly.I didn't want anyone else in my life. People eventually ended up leaving me what was the point of meeting new people?"That was so direct." He scratched the nape of his neck, his phone buzzed and he looked at it, "It's my girlfriend, I'll answer this." He took the phone to his ear and stepped a little from me but not going too far off. I watched him with my mouth slightly open in shock as he spoke quickly into his phone. When the call ended he regarded me with

ELENA'S POVThis was my moment. Even though I had yet to recover from the shock and my terrible anxiety. But this was the moment I had waited for all my life. My photos and name buzzed all through the media, there was traffic on my social media and my products were selling at a rate it had never sold out before.Maybe going to Truks wasn't completely a bad idea. The whole world seemed to be talking about me, analyzing my posts, and calling me whatever they seemed fit. It was no deal to me. As long as the money was flowing in, as long as I was getting the attention I never would have milked from the word, never in a million years. "Are you alright?" Rickard asked me the second he walked into the mansion to see my face and how shaky it still looked. I had flown back to New York City the next day. It was an ugly sight in Turks and Caicos. It was the most terrible experience for anyone. For me, it was the worst thing to ever happen to me. "I'm fine," I took a sip of the tea Andrew's

ELENA'S POV Andrew was transferred back to New York City on Monday evening. He was now closer to me. I could just visit him without paying so much for flight tickets.I was part of the first people to visit him at the hospital. He looked quite pale, to think he had just gotten a blood transfusion. No, I was not the donor, whoever it was had a kind heart too.Penny was by my side as I stood by his bed watching him lay with his eyes closed, stubbles sprinkled along his jaws and chin, he looked sexy while sleeping. "He's going to be alright." Penny misinterpreted the sigh I let out. "It's all I want." I leaned over and brushed soft fingers across his face. He was warm. The doctor came into the room, a dark-haired man who appeared to be in his fifties. Behind him was Kathrine, Andrew's Aunt. She never liked me. I had to try a little harder to get on the good side of the lady. "Elena?" She peered at me. "Hello aunt," I smiled warmly at her. Aunt Kathrine was an extremely wealthy b

GWEN'S POVI woke up with the lights of the room becoming blinding. There were soft beeps sounding off the room and it wasn't until I glanced around the room did I realized where I was. I was at the hospital. The pearly wall and the IV connected to my wrist were all the proof I needed. I stretched and yawned sitting up with my hands rubbing my eyes wearily. My eyes fell on the figure before me in an armchair. Granny, her head was tipped over in a deep sleep. She looked worn out. She looked exactly how I didn't want her to look. I was making things tougher for her. She would have been at rest back at home but I had chosen to act rashly, I had chosen to make her this worried. My mind cast back to the reason I had passed out. Jane had called. News of Andrew being shot dead. Andrew was dead. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I sat in the small bed getting consumed by my thoughts. Andrew was dead. It was over. It was all over for me. My only consolation in all that was happening with our

During the struggle between Andrew and Rickard at the warehouse, a trigger was pulled and a bullet went through Rickard's left leg.The case didn't hold immediately because Rickard needed to recover before he could face the court.Jake and Dr. James both testified against Rickard, and Fred presented the court with evidence indicating Rickard pulled the trigger on Brody.Elena's statement also helped with the case but unfortunately, she slipped into a coma.She was closely monitored by the police.

Gwen's POVNanny Rose's memorial service was held in her hometown, and Granny and I attended to pay our final respects.We boarded the next flight to Oklahoma and returned home later that evening. The house felt incredibly empty without the children and Nanny Rose.It seemed like I was in a completely different place. I walked to the sofa and shut my eyes tightly.It has been quite an awful month for me and I don't think I will recover any time soon.As soon as I picked up my phone, I received a call from Andrew asking me to come to the hospital. My heart skipped a beat because I knew the hospital spelled bad news.Granny insisted on tagging along but I didn't let her. She has also been through a lot, which has had a negative impact on her health.I tried reaching Ricky to drive me there but he wasn't picking so I decided on taking a cab there.******“What's wrong Andrew?” I asked as soon as I saw him in the waiting room.There were numerous police officers patrolling around the area

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. How are we going to s

Gwen's POVI asked Fred to drive me home after leaving the hospital. On our way there, I paid for our flight tickets to New York.My plan was to subdue Dr. James. He will not go scot free for conniving with Rickard to lie about Andrew's health.I will ensure that he and Jake are transferred to Oklahoma prison so that when Rickard and Elena are apprehended, they can testify against them.My flight was scheduled for 9p.m that evening so I decided to go home first.When I arrived at the house, the scene reminded me of when Sophie escaped. 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
