Gwen's POV Dear Gwen,Thank you for submitting your application and resume for the position of a secretary. We deeply appreciate you for taking the time to reach out to us. However, after reviewing your application, we have decided not to move forward with your application. As you probably know,we received a tremendous amount of interest in this position so it was an extremely difficult decision for our hiring team. Unfortunately, we concluded that your impressive array of skills were not what we were looking for this time. Thank you again for showing your interest in working with us and we wish you the best of success in your future career endeavors.Sincerely,Keeklas.I stared at the email on my laptop over and over again. It was the third time I was getting turned down after an application.How was I supposed to restart my life and care for my boys if we were completely reliant on Granny?The waves of guilt hit me hard whenever I think about how we have burdened her wi

Gwen's POV “You dare ditch me because of this thing here” The woman yelled, exasperated.Ricky grabbed her by the waist, attempting to free me from her grip.I had no idea what was going on or why it was happening, so I was left in complete amazement.“What is wrong with you Eva?, let go of her” With a fierce slap across my cheeks, she let go of my hair and violently pushed me to the ground. I held my tummy in agony.People began to look in our direction to see what the fuss was about. There were silent whispers flying around.“Are you alright Gwen” Ricky rushed over to me.“I am …”“Aww, is this not cute? He is asking for the well-being of his lover. You cheat” She jerked Ricky by the collar “how could you do this to me?”“Lover?” I grasp onto the realization.She must be Ricky's girlfriend.I managed to get to my feet while tightly clutching my stomach, which was still hurting from the push.“You canceled our dates and all our plans just so you could spend time with her?” She gla

Gwen's POV“Hey Gwen, Ricky asked to give you this,” Max said, handing me a note."I am a little busy, Max," I said, ignoring the note."I don't know what happened between you guys, and he would not tell me, but I know for a fact that he is deeply sorry."“Great, a customer is heading here. Let's talk later Max.” “Sure, I'd drop this here, read it if you have the chance”I have been avoiding Ricky since the incident. I couldn't just deal with it. Since he was the only friend I had in Oklahoma, I missed his company, but I decided it would be best if we kept our distance for the time being.“That would be $90 ma'am. Cash or credit card?” I asked with a warm smile."Credit Card," she said, holding out her card."Thank you for shopping with us; please come again."My first week on the job as a cashier at Savvy's Stores has been busy. The manager, Ray is a short, balded, cruel man who never seems to be satisfied.It reminded me of when I worked at the 'choicest restaurant'; the only di

“What?” I shrieked.I quickly grabbed my bag and rushed out of the store, making Max chase me.“Gwen, you okay?” He asked I ignored him and jumped into the first cab I saw, instructing the driver to go as fast as possible. My heart raced so fast that it felt like it was going to rip my chest open.Could you drive any faster than this, sir? With a trembling voice, I asked.I was sweating profusely and stamping my feet nonstop. I felt the vehicle was not moving fast enough.“Oh God.” I exclaimed loudly."Are you okay, miss?" the cab driver asked, concerned.How can I be okay with the news I just received? How can anyone possibly be okay?Granny was pacing the hallway when I caught a glimpse of her holding Evan. She looked tired and worried.“Granny, where is Ethan?” Tears were welling up in the corners of my eyes as I spoke.“He is being examined at the Neonatal Intensive care Unit”“Oh God!, but he was fine this morning. What happened Granny?” ‘I…When I took him out of his crib to f

Gwen's POV Ricky and I stood at the entrance of Emory's Mansion. I didn't know if it was a good idea to bring him along but Granny insisted I needed all the support I could get because I was not in the right state of mind. She assured me that Sharon and her would be with the boys at the hospital till I returned with the money for the surgery. As much as I hated to be there, it was something I needed to do for the recovery of my child. My eyes were bulging due to the amount of tears I had shed over the last few days. I looked pale and had lost weight. I firmly gripped my bag and reminded myself of why I was there and what I needed to do. “Are you good Gwen?” Ricky asked. I nodded. “Let's go” It took a few seconds for a maid to answer the door after I knocked. I did not recognize her because when Mom was still alive, we had no maid. “Can I help you, miss?” She asked. I inhaled deeply as memories of my previous visit to this place flooded back. My heart began to ache immediate

Gwen's povI sneaked out of Jane's apartment the next morning without telling her or Ricky.After everything that happened the last time, Jane would never be in support of me asking Andrew for help, and it would be a bad idea to bring Ricky along, especially given how Andrew feels about me.I noticed a large number of security guards at Andrew's mansion and wondered when this new development was adopted.They would not let me in because they were under strict orders not to let anyone in except very close friends and family.“You are not listening to me, this involves the life of a child” I cried.“Sorry ma'am, we can't let you in.” I kept on yelling but they totally ignored me.I was resolved to speak with Andrew regardless of the circumstances.I sat at the extreme end of the gate, my head resting on my knees. Eventually, he would have to leave the house.My phone was buzzing with calls and messages from Jane and Ricky.My appearance reflected someone who had lost her mental health.

Andrew's POV"Please, baby," Elena said, wrapping her arms around me.“Can you hear yourself Elena?” I asked, getting agitated.“I just need your support this one time”“I have a meeting today. Why didn't you tell me earlier?” I asked, staring at her."Come on babe, you are the boss of yourself; you can always reschedule the meeting."“What exactly will my presence add to your event Elena? I know nothing about makeup”“You don't have to know anything about makeup”I let out an audible sigh."All right, I will try to drop by after my meeting."“For crying out loud, I am launching my new product Andrew, pretend you care at least” She yelled.“You never support me, you claim you are my fiance but you are never present in all my events” She added, giving me a vicious glare“Oh Christ” I exclaimed silently.“You should appreciate me Andrew. I take what I do seriously, I am not idle like that woman you were married to”.She always did this. Every little conversation or fight we had, she fi

Gwen's POV"You have not stopped crying since yesterday, Gwen. You are injured, and it is not good for you," Jane said, holding my hands.I sat on the sofa staring at the ceiling.My well-being was the last thing I was thinking about. I had only a scratch on my head, but my son has a hole in his heart.“I had the money Jane, but they just took it away from me. Why are people so cruel?” Tears poured down my cheeks in a hot stream."We will figure something out, I promise," she reassured me.Ricky stood by the door, watching us. One could see how upset he was. He blamed himself for not being there to protect me.This was entirely my fault; I never should have gone there alone. It was too late now, the money for my boy's treatment was gone.“Ricky and I will be going back to Oklahoma later today. Granny said Ethan's health is not improving” I took a deep breath.“I should be there with him.”“Gwen, you can't travel in this state.” Jane said.“What would you have me do? Stay here? I need

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. 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. As soon as she regains her consciousness, she will also pay for her crimes.Hopefully, she receives a lighter sentence because she was the only reason my sons were healthy and wi

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
