Andrew's POV“When did you and Rickard become close?” I retained a stern expression when I asked Elena.“What do you mean?” she feigned ignorance.Rickard and I have never been close. If it were up to me, I would have severed all ties with him but for some reason, my dad wants us to get along.“Why did he call you? What does he want?” I asked with an exasperated tone.I stared at Elena with an interrogative look, getting impatient as she had not said anything yet. The atmosphere was very tensed as I couldn't think of anything that connected the both of them, aside me of course.If Rickard wanted something, he usually came to me directly. From what I heard, he hadn't even visited me for once since I was admitted.“Why did who call me?”“Rickard!” I let out a screech “Babe, what are you talking about? Rickard did not call me, I am not sure he has my private number, so how is it possible for him to call me then?” She said as she came closer to me and rubbed my cheeks with her soft hand.
Gwen’s POVI returned home at a late hour after a fun day with Jane. It reminded me of the good old days at school when we were inseparable.I tried to persuade her to spend a day or two with me at Granny's place but she insisted she had work which she needed to attend to urgently"Someone appears to be in a good mood," Granny observed as she noticed a large smile on my face“Oh Gran.. Gran, I enjoyed my day today, I didn't realize that I had missed Jane this much” I said as I threw myself on to the sofa.I met my granny in the sitting room. I stared at her as she tried to sort out some papers.“How is she? And her…. uhm, what did you say she does again?” Granny said as she placed her left hand on her chin.“She runs a flower shop”. I said. "Business has been going well for her, and I am pleased because she puts a lot of effort into what she does," I added with a smile on my face."That is good; I am glad to see you smiling again. Granny laughed as she said, "I almost forgot what your
Elena's POVI couldn't get what happened between me and Andrew at the hospital yesterday out of my head.The nerves of him to request for my phone. Who the hell does he think he is?I needed to be extra careful now that he has suspicious of me and Rickard.I couldn't afford to be on Andrew’s bad side. As much as it sickened me, I had to make amends as I still needed him around.Thankfully Penny informed me that he would be discharged from the hospital today. I hated the fact that I had to visit him there everyday.I got to the hallway and saw Aunt Kathrine. She and the doctor had just left Andrew's room to get some papers signed.This woman should get a life, why is she always here?“Babe!” I said with an elated smile.“You look better today. I heard the good news from Penny that you will be discharged today” I added as I hugged him.“You didn't come back yesterday” Andrew said as he unwrapped my hands around him.“My meeting took longer than expected. I was tired and I knew you would
Andrew's POV“Elena?” I called out as I knocked on the door to my bedroom.I came to pick up some documents so that I could discuss about business with some of my partners. Since Elena had invited them to the party, I decided to take advantage of this opportunity.I heard Elena and someone talking in the room, but when I tried to open the door, I discovered it was locked from the inside. Everyone else was downstairs enjoying the party, so I wondered who was upstairs with her and in my room.“Elena?” I called out wiping the beads of perspiration off my forehead."I am coming, babe," She said from inside.The door was then opened, and I immediately entered and began to scan the room."What do you think about my outfit?" She said as she turned in a circle. She wore an emerald green shirt gown, which I guessed was the latest design in town given how obsessed she was with such things.“Who was in the room with you?” I questioned her as I looked around the room.“What do you mean? I am here
Gwen's POVI walked at a slow pace to blue door. I was already regretting why I agreed to attend Ricky's concert.It was a 30-minute walk from Grandma Mary's place. I was dressed in a black hoodie and blue jeans. My hair was braided into two French braids.I could hear the sound of music from about a mile away. “Pit bull” I chuckled.I scanned the venue as soon as I arrived. It was not big, but it could hold at least 100 people. There were approximately 50 people present, including myself.“New record Ricky” I murmured to myself .I watched them perform and liked some of their music. I stood on the dark side of the room to avoid being noticed by Ricky."Let me buy you a drink, beautiful," a voice said from behind me.I turned around and saw a man in his mid-thirties who appeared to be drunk."No, thank you," I said, disgusted."C'mon, it is just a drink for a beautiful woman; I mean no harm," he said as he grabbed my hand."Let go of me," I yelled as I struggled to get free of his gri
Gwen's POVI fixed my gaze on my reflection and my already protruding stomach. It has been three months since I discovered I was pregnant.The size of my tummy was bigger than it should have been because of my twins. I was wearing a dress that once belonged to my grandmother since none of my clothes fit anymore.I smiled, rubbing my hands against my stomach. I have already grown to love them even without seeing them, except for the ultra scan, of course.“Gwen! What is taking you so long?" Granny yelled from downstairs.I rushed downstairs and met Granny who was already agitated.“Are you sure this outfit looks good on me?” I asked, taking a second look at my appearance."Well, it looked good on me back then, but I can not say the same for you," Granny said, laughing loudly. She was clearly trying to tease me.It was a knee-length floral gown with short sleeves. Ordinarily, I would not wear such clothes, but I had to make due with what I had because I had not made time to go shoppin
Andrew's POV"Yes, okay. Send them in." I said and hung up the phone.Two men entered my office, dressed in black tuxedos and dark shades. They walked up to my desk in confident strides.“Mr Andrew?” One said, extending his hand for a handshake."Yes," I replied, returning the gesture. “Have a seat” I offered."I am Agent Daniel, and that is Agent Oliver," he said, pointing to his partner for proper identification."We are currently in charge of unsolving the robbery and attempted murder case in which you were involved in Turks and Caicos."“What happened to Agent Bruce?” I asked. He was in charge of the case before now."He has been transferred, sir," Agent Oliver stated."All right, officers, do you have any leads?" I asked curiously."Based on our current investigations, we discovered that the bullets you were shot with came from an Armalite rifle," Agent Daniel explained, placing a picture of the gun on my table.“Okay, and this is a good thing, how?”. I asked, not sure I understo
Andrew's POV"Are you in here, Baby?" Can you believe how fun my day turned out to be?” She asked as soon as she entered my study.The photograph of Gwen fell from my hand and I used my feet to step on it. If Elena should see this photo, I wouldn't hear the end of it.She moved closer to where I was sitting and kissed my lips.She sat on my study table, facing the chair I was in.Her head was buried in her phone. Thank goodness, that was the perfect opportunity for me to push the photograph away."The housekeeper informed me that you had returned from work early today. What is going on?" She asked, her gaze still fixed on her phone."Two agents from Turks and Caicos visited my office today," I explained.I am not sure why I told her, but since her collection had also been stolen, I felt she had every right to know every detail.“Really? Have my collection been found?” She inquired, finally lifting her head from her phone.“Not yet, but the agents have new leads,” I said, staring at he
