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 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

Gwen's POV“Rickard Gilbert. You have been found guilty of all of the charges against you. You are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor” The judge gave his final verdict.I sighed with relief as I realized that all of my problems were gradually coming to an end.A month has passed since the incident.

Gwen's POV "Wash the tumbler quick you sluggish idiot!" George yelled angrily at me as I tried my best to hasten my pace in washing the dishes. The pot-bellied man who was always in a foul mood continued ranting and screaming obscenities at me even as he walked away. It was my second week working in 'Choicest restaurant' and it felt like being in hell already. As someone born with the proverbial silver spoon, I had never in my life thought I would work in a low establishment such as this.I had just gotten home from campus to spend the holiday with my family when I met my father in a sour mood, on enquiring what happened he told me his past involvement in the Mafia had finally caught up with him. The government had all his properties seized and worse he's facing a jail term.Dejectedly, I had left home and made up my mind to search for a job but no one wants to employ the daughter of a criminal, at least for a white collar job so I took the only option left and that's how I found m

Gwen's POV I couldn't believe my father could say something as such, I looked from him to my mother probably to hear he was only joking but that doesn't seem to be the case."Dad, don't tell me you are really serious about what you said just now." I asked, still finding it hard to believe."I am serious, you have to get married to the son of the chief judge, it's the only way we can get out from this mess." His response to me was quick."I wouldn't get married to someone I don't have any emotional connection with!" I declared, my voice was slightly raised."You will and that's final." He yelled back at me and I decided I wasn't listening to him anymore, I stormed off."Victoria, you get your daughter to do this or we are all going to lose out big time." I heard him say to my mother as I opened the door to my room.I was still in my room when I heard a knock on the door. I stood up and opened the door to see my mother staring at me."Can I come in?" She asked, trying to gauge my react

Gwen's POV It's been almost two weeks since Andrew and I got married and it still feels like we are total strangers. He looked totally exhausted, probably from the day's work. "Welcome home, how's the office today?" I asked as Andrew breezed in, my eyes trailing his retreating figure.Andrew stopped in his tracks, turned back and briefly looked at me."Thanks, hectic!" Andrew said curtly without sparing me a glance.I was surprised to see him respond. He hadn't been responding to my greetings since I had moved in. Today was clearly a good day for him."Your food is right there on the table." I said in a low voice, pointing to the dinner table. I was surprised the second time that night when Andrew turned to look at me, for the first time since I knew him, he wasn't scowling. He only nodded before moving off to his room.I was surprised to see him that way, he had never acknowledged any of my greetings but this night seemed different. Maybe he was not so bad after all, I shrugged and

Gwen's POVThe next day, I was cleaning up and arranging the room when I heard Andrew suddenly yell at me."Don't fucking touch my stuffs without my permission first." Andrew's voice was loud and distant making me wonder maybe he wasn't the one all over me last night.Yes, Andrew and I had a great, passionate night. It was okay with me because he was maybe a jerk but he was a handsome man, too. I’ll take it as a one-night stand. Besides, I’m his wife."Why do you always act so cold?" I asked.He looked up at me from what he was doing on his laptop but said nothing, instead he stood up from the bed and decided to walk away."You always treat me like I meant nothing to you" I said feeling hurt in my heart, "I'm your wife so I deserve better."He paused then turned to answer me. "Wife?" He asked me as if it's a strange word to him but when I didn't reply he continued, "you must be really dumb if you haven't noticed we are only married on paper."I could hear the scorn clearly in his tone

Gwen's POVI woke up to my head banging hard and my eyes feeling dizzy. I was feeling completely unaware of my surroundings and couldn't even remember when I went to sleep. I picked up my phone to check the time and was surprised to see missed calls from Andrew. I wondered how that could be, considering I was a light sleeper and would normally wake up even hearing the faintest sounds.I yawned and got up from the bed then strolled towards the bathroom to quickly rinse my face and help lessen the pangs of headache that wanted to burst my head open. I then moved to get a bottle of water from the living room as my throat felt parched. The whole house looked completely quiet and empty save from the occasional sound coming from the TV. I wondered where everyone went and briefly relaxed when I remembered I was the one that sent Veronica, the maid on an errand and Andrew had stepped out earlier talking about meeting a client. I made a mental note to warn Veronica to always turn off the TV

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
