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
Rickard's POVI let out a sigh of relief as I lay back in the bathtub. I took a sip from the glass of wine and gulped it down.Very soon my plan will fall into place. My puppet will come running to me furious and ready to do anything I ask her to.A smile of satisfaction formed at the corner of my lips.This was the perfect opportunity to finish off Andrew completely. 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
Andrew's POVBecause of Gwen's attack at the farmhouse, I had to book the next flight to Oklahoma.I knew the attack was intended for me, and she unintentionally fell into the trap. Hating Gwen is one thing but I could not handle the fact that she got hurt because of me.We arrived in Oklahoma a day after the incident. I quickly wrapped up my meeting with Adrian and established a stronger partnership with him.“Let me take you home” I said to Gwen after we got off the plane, ignoring the venomous glare Elena was throwing at me. I was doing what any person with a conscience would do.“Ricky is already waiting for me outside the airport,” Gwen said. I am not sure why, but this statement of hers infuriated me.Who Gwen hangs out with should be none of my business, and I had to keep reminding myself of what she had done to me before.“Seems like her lover first you to it” Elena said with a smirk on her face.Fred was already outside the airport waiting for me and Elena in my Maybach. I wa
Andrew's POVI observed Elena and Rickard from a distance. They sat close to each other and were talking about something I could not hear.They seemed very comfortable around each other and were laughing their hearts out. I was perplexed. I just found out recently that Rickard was here and Elena was already meeting him secretly.I pulled out my phone and dialed Elena's line and watched how she deliberately ignored my calls.I knew Elena and Rickard had always been cool with each other, but I could not understand why Elena had to meet him in this location and also without informing me.She clearly knew that Rickard was my least favorite person and I wanted nothing personal to do with him so meeting up with him is something I could not comprehend.After observing them for a while, I stood up and headed their direction but was stopped by a guard stating that the area was reserved for only Vips.I wanted to insist, but I changed my mind at the last minute. The last thing I wanted to do wa
Gwen's POV“What are you doing here?” I asked, perplexed.Rickard was standing right in front of me. Meeting him coincidentally in Beverly Hills was acceptable, but him knocking on my door was absurd.“Who is at the door Gwen?” Granny asked.“Don't worry Granny, I will be with you soon” I said, before returning my gaze to Rickard."I would like to talk to you, Gwen," he said."How did you find out where I lived? And why are you even in Oklahoma?" I hurled a series of questions at him.“Won't you at least invite me in”“I am sorry, but I can't.” I spoke reluctantly. "Whatever you want to tell me, you can say it here," I added.Rickard stood silently on my porch for a few seconds before finally speaking. "Let us go get some coffee then. Trust me, Gwen, this is for your own good.”Rickard's insistence baffled me. But rather than following him around, I reasoned that it would be best to speak with him where I felt most comfortable.I had to deal with his brother and Elena and it was now v
Gwen's POVI spent the entire night reflecting on what Rickard had said to me earlier that day. I did not want to believe what he said, but everything made perfect sense.Elena moved in with Andrew immediately after I left the house. It seemed like everything was preplanned. I was still surprised by how quickly he moved on.He did not give me any chance to explain myself. Perhaps it was because he had gotten what he wanted, his planned work, and was not ready to accept me back into his life.I had always known Rickard to be cunning, but why would he fabricate such stories? However, it was possible that he was lying. Still unsure of what to do, I was perplexed.I grabbed my phone and sent Rickard a message, asking him to meet me at the park tomorrow with the man I was with in the picture.The next day, I got ready and was about to leave the house when Ricky came over.“Where are you heading to Princess?” He asked, wearing the smile he always had on his face.“The park, I have got work
