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
Gwen's POV“What?” I gasped in disbelief.“What is that doing there?” Walking over to where the executive manager stood, I asked in shock. He was holding a transparent bag stacked with dollar bills and some documents.“Look who has been caught,” Elena said, her voice filled with disgust."I am not sure how that got there, I promise," I said, suddenly confused at what's happening.I questioned the executive manager after grabbing him by the collar. “How did that get there? Where did you get it from? What's going on here?” I fired off a barrage of questions.“Let go of me Miss Gwen” He said, staring at me with pure disgust on his face.“Stop with the drama Gwen, you have been caught” Elena said, pulling me aggressively by the arm.“You cheap slut. You are not only unfaithful, you are also a thief” Elena spoke with resentment in her tone.“I didn't steal that. I don't even know how that got…..”“Enough!” Andrew yelled.I released myself from Elena's grip and ran towards Andrew. "I did n
Andrew's POV“Argggh!” I yelled, knocking off every single file on my table.How could I be so dumb that I didn't notice her true colors? Why does this betrayal hurt?“Gwen, you thief!” I screamed angrily.But one of the things that bothered me the most was what Gwen said. What did she mean by saying I stoop so low? Was she just saying things to cover up what she did?She obviously was. She is a cunning and self centered woman. Despite being caught, she was still trying to make up things regarding the past.“Damn you Gwen,” I cursed, knocking more files off the table.Why does she always have to betray my trust like this? It hurts and I hated myself for feeling affected by what she does.I dug my hand into my head and kicked my office desk multiple times vehemently. “Baby, what are you doing?” Elena asked, running towards me. She held me by the arm, turning my gaze to her. “Don't tell me you are reacting that way because of Gwen?”I simply stood and didn't utter a word to her. She wa
Elena's POV"That fucking bitch, what does she want this late?" I cursed loudly, hitting my steering wheel repeatedly.If Andrew should figure out that I left the house this late, he will become suspicious and ask me questions which I am not ready to answer.Thankfully, he was sound asleep before I left, and I knew Andrew was a heavy sleeper.I made sure no one was watching or following me. This location doesn't suit my caliber of person, I mean I am a very sophisticated person with classy taste.I parked the car a few meters from the bar that my accomplice had directed me to. I wondered why she chose such a location, especially at such a late hour.That neighborhood was filled with gangsters. Despite being the middle of the night, it looked like it was daytime there. There were a lot of people on the street.I did not want to draw attention to myself. When these people find out I am wealthy, I am sure they will try to steal from me, especially since I came here alone.Just across th
Elena's POVOh no!What was Andrew doing here? Did he overheard my conversation? His expression says it all. He looked very furious.Noticing the tension in the atmosphere, my accomplice took the opportunity to rush out of the bar and I couldn't stop her. It was a good thing, because if Andrew recognized her, it would be more trouble for both of us.“Elena” Andrew yelled, staring venomously into my eyes.“Ba…b..y, wh..at are you doing here?” I stumbled over my words."You conspired with someone to place money in Gwen's office in order to frame her?" “No, it's not like that, it's not what you think. You are getting it all wrong," I said, my body shaking as if I had been drenched in cold water.“I fucking heard every single word you said with her” Andrew yelled. He turned his gaze to see that my accomplice had already left, which infuriated him even more.“Where the hell is she?” “Baby, please listen to me. Calm down," I said, attempting to put my hands on his cheeks.“Don't you dare
Andrew's POV.Elena was the first person I saw when I opened my eyes, sleeping peacefully beside me.How could anyone sleep so peacefully after what she did? I wanted to be mad at her but she was right about everything she said. Even a blind man could see that I had changed how I treated her, which is why she did what she did.But still, I was certain she was hiding something from me. I actually saw her with Rickard the other night, and she flatly denied it.I had to find Gwen and apologize for what Elena had done. My conscience would not let me leave her like that. She was innocent and embarrassed in front of everyone at the office.Sure, she cheated on me in the past, but this was a completely different situation. At least she was trying to earn decently.“Babe, you are awake already?” Elena spoke softly as she struggled to open her eyes.I gave a nod and abruptly got out of bed. One thing was certain, even though she justified her actions, I was still angry at what she had done.I
Gwen's POV“I am not going anywhere, Granny. Ricky, Please make her understand” I said, staring at Ricky hoping for a little backup.“I am sorry Princess, but I have to support Nonna on this” Ricky said.“Gwen, Listen to me. I understand how difficult this is for you, but Emory is still your father," Granny said, locking my hands in hers."He did not consider that when he tried to attack me," I said, snorting loudly.“Probably the reason why he wants to see you. He wants to make amends Gwen” Granny said, caressing my hands."So why do I have to go to him? He should come here if he wants to make things right between us," I insisted stubbornly.Granny's request was simply impossible. I can not just get on a plane and fly to New York to talk to the same man who abandoned me and also attempted to hurt me."Your father is ill, Gwen. He can't travel to Oklahoma, you know that.”“How can you still trust that man after what he did? You want me to be in the same space as him?” I asked Granny
