Andrew's POVI stormed into Elena's office, furious. She had not been answering my calls, and I was clearly too upset to wait for her to return them.When I walked in, Elena was sitting in her chair, and her assistant Stella was sitting opposite her, with some ladies lined up. They had some makeup products displayed on the office desk. Elena appeared surprised when she saw me.“Could you please excuse us?" I said, staring at Stella, then the ladies which were lined up.“But baby, we are in the middle of something right now. I need to try each and every one of these lipstick shades on my models” Elena said."I do not care. Get out" I howled.“Let's go ladies,” Stella said, noticing the atmosphere was tensed.I watched them match out of the room and turned to Elena who was visibly upset.“What is all this about Andrew?” She roared.“What the hell is this?” I asked, furiously pulling out my phone to show her a picture.She took a few moments to look at the phone. “Was that the reason
Elena's POVI looked at my watch with annoyance. Where the hell is Rickard? He was already very late."I would like a glass of mango sunrise cocktail," I told the waiter, struggling to maintain a smile.I picked up my phone and dialed Rickard's number.“Where the fuck are you?” I yelled over the phone."Andrew is here; I can not come to you now," he said before hanging up. What? Andrew is? Why is he here at the same time and place I came to meet Rickard?I knew Andrew, and he never comes to places like this, which is why I choose this particular restaurant.I looked around and saw him enter through the door. He was unaccompanied and I found that strange.Thank goodness Rickard saw him and notified me on time. If not, what would I have said to him if he had found Rickard and I here?I waved my hands towards him.He came over to where I was sitting after noticing me.“Hey” He said coldly.“What are you doing here Andrew?” I inquired, trying to maintain a serious demeanor.“I was aroun
Gwen's POV A notification from my email prompted me awake. I rubbed my eyes while mumbling. I slept very late last night because Ethan would not stop crying.I unlocked my phone to check my email. I jumped out of bed with excitement after reading it.I screamed enthusiastically, "Yes!"Granny rushed to my room's door and began knocking.“Gwen, are you fine?” She asked.I hurriedly opened the door and began jumping like a ten-year-old.She looked at me with complete amusement. Her face showed clearly that she was confused.I could not contain my joy as I read the email to Granny. My tone conveyed happiness.Finally, one of my applications received a positive response after numerous unsuccessful attempts."I am very excited, Granny." "It has been a while since I have seen you smile this much," Granny made fun of me.Granny might be right. I felt genuinely happy. It was the first time I felt this happy since Emory's attack on me."I could finally get you a new car, Granny," I said, wr
Gwen's POVWhat? Is he James Miller? My new boss?He was the same arrogant man I encountered yesterday who lacked manners.“Good morning Mr. Miller, your personal Assistant is here” Sophie said with a huge smile while taking a little bow.Why would anyone smile at him like that? When I felt the urge to scratch his face.“She is my personal Assistant?” He asked, staring at me as if I was some filth."Yes, sir, she met all the necessary requirements." Sophie Said."We will see," he said, scanning me all over.What does that even mean? Without saying anything to me, he returned to his seat and fixed his gaze at his laptop."Let me show you your office, Miss Gwen," Sophie said, smiling and reaching for the exit of Mr Miller's office.My office was next door after Mr Miller's office. It was on the last floor. It was much larger than I anticipated.The office had a sofa at one end and a working desk in the center. Documents were piled high on the desk, and a computer was plugged in.“Is he
Andrew's POV“Weekend?” I repeated my father's words over the phone."That is impossible, Dad; I have a lot to do.""I am just asking for a week Andrew, please do this one thing for me as a birthday gift," he said from the other end.“Okay Dad” I said reluctantly."Great, see you in the Bahamas this weekend," he said as the call ended.Bahamas? I had no idea why Dad wanted to celebrate his birthday on a cruise in the Bahamas. The thought of being in the same space with Rickard and his mother sickened me.“Who was on the phone baby?” Elena asked as she stepped out of the bathroom.She was wearing a short white robe that clung to her body, with an extra towel that was wrapped around her hair.“My dad. He wants to celebrate his birthday this year on a cruise in the Bahamas” I said, averting my gaze from her.“Are you for real babe? We are going to the Bahamas for a birthday cruise? Yay!” She exclaimed, her voice full of joy."Only because he insisted, and it was a birthday wish."“I am
Andrew's POV.We arrived at the port of the sea and met my father, his wife, Rickard, and a few friends who were waiting for Elena and I.“I am sorry we are late dad, apparently someone needed sunscreen on a boat cruise” I said sarcastically, looking at Elena.“It's fine son, glad you made it” My father said, giving me a hug."It is a pleasure to be here, Attorney Frederick. Thank you for having us," Elena chipped in and held out her arms for a hug.I watched them exchange pleasantries. My feelings towards my father were ambivalent. He did not come to see me when I was in the hospital, claiming he was too busy, but he can always find time for a cruise.I scoffed.“Hey bro,” Rickard called from behind.What does he want?“Hey Rickard, glad you made it”“Glad you could make it too. For a moment I thought you were going to ditch on dad and the family” He said, laughing hysterically.“Believe, I tried.” I mumbled.“What did you say?” He asked.“It's nothing”"I am glad you made it, Andre
Rickard's POVI quickly adjusted my tie and headed back into the ship for my Fredrick's party.The party had already started and the guests were giving out their presents to Frederick and my mom who looked extremely happy by his side.“Where is everyone? It's time to cut the cake” my mom called out.We were all gathered and I winked at Elena. That evening, she looked stunningly beautiful. She completely ignored me, which made me chuckle hard.“Wait, where is Andrew? We can't cut the cake without him” My mom said."That is strange; when I returned to the cabin from the spa, I could not find him, so I assumed he was already here," Elena said, turning her head around to look for him."We had an argument earlier today; perhaps he is still upset, which is why he is not here," Frederick said, trying to hide the sadness on his face."Andrew would not miss your party over a minor disagreement, I know him." Elena said in defense.Her statement caused me to snort. She knows him indeed.“Hey guy
GWEN'S POVI woke up feeling very uneasy. It has been a long time since I felt this way. I abruptly got out of bed and proceeded to the restroom to wash my face.“What's wrong with you Gwen?” I asked myself as I stared at my reflection.I headed back to the room and peeped through the crib to check up on Ethan and Evan. I did not expect them to be awake, especially since it was still quite early.It was 5a.m and I wouldn't have to be at work till 8a.m so I had three hours left. I considered what I could do with that amount of time and decided to make breakfast.“Surprise” I said to Granny as she saw different food varieties prepared by me on the dining table."When did you make all of these?" She asked in shock."I have been awake for quite a while now, Granny"“Why? Did something happen? Why were you up so early? Is Ethan and Evan fine?” She threw a barrage of questions.Her questions made me chuckle a little, my heart gladden at how much she cared for my twin."Calm down, Granny,
