Elena's POV

This was perfect.

I turned around and stared at Andrew, expecting a reaction, but he maintained his stern expression.

“You decided to bring one of your lovers to work, awwwwn, how adorable” I said to Gwen with a smirk on my face.

“Watch what you say to her” The man she was with came to her defense.

I expected Andrew to stand up for me as well, but he only tightened his grip on his briefcase and walked away.

I had never felt so embarrassed before, and it enraged me.

I still can not get over the fact that Gwen stood up to me yesterday, and Andrew chose to embarrass me in front of her and her lover.

"Oops, it appears that your man is not in the mood for all of your unnecessary drama today," the man said sarcastically.

“Ricky, stop” Gwen said, pulling him by the arm.

I walked away fuming hard, leaving both of them there. This was the height of it, Andrew had outdone himself today.

I marched furiously into Andrew's office, slamming the door behind me.

    Andrew's POV“It's been like what? Three weeks and you are going on a vacation with her?” Elena said, giving me a fierce look.“Business trips are now called Vacations?” “Oh, same thing. Spare me the bullshit, babe," she exclaimed, raising her voice above normal.I dropped the cutlery I was using to eat and grabbed a glass of wine to push down the steak I had just chewed.“We are eating Elena, can you not do this now?” I spoke to her calmly.“Can't you take someone else?”"She is my personal assistant, who else would be more suitable to accompany me on a business trip?" "Well, I am coming with you," she said, picking up her phone. "I am booking a flight right now.""Be my guest," I said as I got up.It was a good thing Elena was coming along. At the very least, she would be able to monitor me as much as she wanted, and she might even shut up about her insecurities.The flight to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, was scheduled for 7 p.m.I was going there for a business meeting and Gwen wo

    Gwen's POV“Thank you Ricky,” I said, smiling warmly at him. “ You really shouldn't have”“Come on Princess, what are you saying? This is the least I can do for you”"Look after Granny and the boys for me, okay?" I said."Sure, come here," he said, pulling me into his arms.I was not looking at Andrew or Elena, but I could feel their venomous stares. What the hell was Ricky doing? He was aware of why my marriage with Andrew ended, and now this?“Stay safe Gwen” He said, releasing me from his grip, and then pressed a kiss on my forehead.“Ricky, what the hell?” I murmured to him in rage. I did not want to embarrass him in front of everyone there.“I am sorry Gwen” He apologized.I didn't know how to react to that, so I walked out on him with a scowl on my face and sat behind Andrew and Elena.Ricky waved at me, but I turned my face away and completely ignored him. I was furious at what he did, and whatever his reasons were, he would undoubtedly have to explain."Some people choose to b

    Gwen's POVI awoke with the sun shining on my face."Dammit," I cursed as I realized I had left the curtains open last night.I got out of bed and went to the window to lock it. It infuriated me even more knowing that I could not possibly go back to bed.I was still exhausted from yesterday's flight, but I needed to prepare for the meeting. Andrew would get upset if I don't make it out of my room in time for the meeting.Not that I cared about his personal feelings, but he was my boss, and I could not afford to upset him because it could cost me my job and the life I had worked so hard to create for my children and I.I got dressed as quickly as possible and rushed downstairs. I was surprised to see Andrew in joggers and a shirt, sipping coffee and scrolling through his phone.“Good morning Sir” Without saying anything, he just gave me a quick glance before returning gaze to his phone."Sir, the meeting is in one hour," I grudgingly said."Tell me something I do not know," he scoffed

    Gwen's POV My eyes widened in shock seeing Andrew standing there and looking at me with so much intensity in his eyes. “What the fuck are you doing here?” I yelled, grabbing a towel to cover my bare body. The water from the shower was still dripping onto me. "Get out," I yelled, but he remained motionless and stared at me. I got out of the shower and tried to push him away while gripping my towel tightly, but he was simply too strong. How did he get here? Was I that distracted that I didn't hear the sound of his car when he arrived? I attempted to flee the bathroom, but he grabbed my arm firmly. He then dragged me toward him and turned me around. My back was against his chest, and his arms were firmly around my waist. His arms then slid upwards my waist and I closed my eyes in pleasure. It was not until he started kissing me on the neck that I realized he was intoxicated. He was not in the right frame of mind at that time. "Let me go, Andrew," I yelled, attempting to

    Gwen's POVGreat! The perfect guest had arrived.I rolled my eyes and exhaled loudly because I knew the week would be longer than it already was.With Elena here, I am sure she would do everything she could to irritate and scream at me.I watched her as she made her way to the table with her usual arrogant expression.She was accompanied by one of the security guards, who dragged two of her luggage.“What are you doing here?” Andrew questioned her. I could see the surprised look on his face. He stood up and approached her, leaving just me at the dinner table.I had no concern about them, so I concentrated on the food I was eating."I wanted to surprise you, baby," I overheard her say, wrapping both arms around Andrew.Her smile turned devious as soon as she noticed me and the table setting.“Having an indoor date with your slut of an ex wife I see” She spoke with disgust, glancing at me as if I were dirt.I brushed her off completely and got up. I took the plate of pasta I was munchin

    Gwen's POVI gradually opened my eyes, but my vision remained blurry. I gripped my head with one hand and groaned in pain.“Gwen, are you alright?” I heard a familiar voice ask.I noticed a masculine physique but could not tell who it was. My vision was still hazy. I felt a strong grip on my arm and then I was carried and kept inside a car which drove off almost immediately.“Rickard?” I called out. “Is that you?” I asked, relieved to have regained my clear vision. I sat up straight and held my head, which was still throbbing badly.“Can I have water?” I asked slowly.“Sure, here you go” Rickard said, handing me a bottle of water.“What are you doing here?” I asked."I came for business, Gwen," Rickard explained, smiling broadly at me. "What a coincidence, of all the people my car had to hit, it was you," he said jokingly.“What about you? What are you doing in LA?” He inquired, keeping his gaze fixed on the road.“Well, Yes. I am also here on a business trip with…” I paused. I was h

    Andrew's POVI stared at Elena as she kept on talking. I was with her, but I did not pay attention to her. I felt extremely restless for reasons I could not understand.Elena insisted we go for a movie after our lunch date then after the movies, she insisted she wanted pizza.I chose a quiet location because I knew Elena might end up making a scene, she gets mad at everything and I wasn't up for any sort of embarrassment today.“Babe, Babe, I am talking to you,” Elena said, tapping my hands.“Uhm, yes. Sorry I got carried away” I tried to explain.“Carried away by what?” She questioned, becoming agitated.“Can we go back to the farmhouse?”“The farmhouse? Now? Why?” She hurled a barrage of questions at me.How can I begin to tell Elena that I was restless thinking about Gwen? She will undoubtedly exaggerate the situation, and I am not up for the drama.“It's getting late and I have a meeting with Adrian tomorrow morning” I used that as a perfect excuse.“When did you start caring abou

He had always proven to be our father's better son, unfortunately, he will not be around for long.I let out a loud laughter before taking another sip from my glass.“You won't be so lucky this time around Andrew, I promise” I screamed, laughing hysterically.Just then, my phone began to ring from the bedroom. I knew it could only be one person. The effect of my plan has begun.I ignored the call and continued relaxing in the bathtub with my eyes shut tightly. Elena, of course, refused to give up and continued to call nonstop.After an hour of relaxation in the bathtub, I decided to get out."Auch," I groaned in pain, cl

    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.

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
