Gwen's POV“Why didn't you tell me that Andrew came to look for me?”"Why does it matter? He is no good to you, Gwen," Jane said, placing her hands on mine.“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” “For God's sake, I needed money for Ethan's surgery and Andrew found out about my visit to New York but you choose not to tell me?” I yelled, removing my hands from hers.“Gwen, calm ….”“Don't you tell me to calm down Jane. What if something happened to Ethan? What if Ricky didn't come up with the money? Oh God!” I exclaimed, breaking down in tears."I am sorry, I just..." she stammered."You knew I needed the money. Do you know what Ricky did in order to get it?” I howled louder, attempting to control the tears that streamed down my face."Just one call from you would have changed everything. Ricky would not have stolen money to pay for Ethan's treatment," I said, sniffing loudly."Did you know that Ricky had to leave town for months before coming back to repay what he stole? Do you ha
Gwen's POVNo!This can not be possible.“Dad, dad, wh…at did I..I just read?” I struggled with my words. I hurried over to his bed and got down on my knees, pleading with him to tell me it was not true."During my college years, I only dated your mother. We intended to get married after college, but we had a fight that resulted in a month-long separation”. He paused, then cleared his throat.“However, we got married after I found out she was pregnant with you. Your mum was the perfect wife and mother”“Dad, no, please,” I said, crying out loud. I didn't come prepared for any of this. It was too much for me to take."I only found out you were not my daughter after she died. She could not even face me to tell me, so she wrote it on a piece of paper." My father gripped his fist tightly.“It broke me Gwen. I was faithful to her, it was just a month break from me and she got pregnant for someone else”His words cut straight through my heart like a dagger. The pain of the discovery was exc
Andrew's POVWith each step I took, my anxiety grew. Was I truly ready for the answers I sought?"This way, boss," Fred said, opening a door into a small room. The room lacked windows and featured a single bulb and a chair in the center. Brody was tied to the chair, and blindfolded.“Where am I? What the fuck do you guys want? I don't have any money” Brody began to cry.Pathetic!I rolled my eyes and motioned Fred to loosen the blindfold around Brody's face.Brody stared at me for a while, it was evident that he was trying to recall where he knew me from.“What do you want from me?” He asked, looking very petty.“Answers” I replied boldy. Whatever happened today, I was going to get all of the answers I sought. I made a mistake by not investigating the case earlier, but now was my chance to find out exactly what happened."What answers, man? I do not know anything," he said.“But I didn't ask you anything,” I said with a smirk."That is because I do not have any information that co
Andrew's POV“No!” I yelled angrily, destroying the files piled on my study table. Elena was not home when I arrived, and she should count herself fortunate. I would have torn her apart. The rage I was experiencing was intriguing.After Gwen's planned betrayal, I had not felt this angry before. How could I be such a fool? Why didn't I investigate this further, why didn't I listen to Gwen.“Fuck” I screamed, knocking the table off.I sat on the floor, burying my hands in my hair. I was not sure where to start. I had no idea on how I was going to face Gwen.I didn't know how I would seek her forgiveness. I accused her, I threatened her, I threw obscenities at her but she was innocent all this while.I abandoned both her and my children. My sons. I have never felt their touch or seen them up close because I was deceived. I was forced to believe those children were bastards and Gwen was an unfaithful woman.*******The next morning, I awoke on my study’s floor. I was so caught up in my t
Gwen's POVThe smile on my face quickly vanished.What the hell was he doing here? Andrew and his bodyguard were standing in front of me. I had not seen him since the incident at the office. He had never been to Granny's house, so how did he find me?“Why did you stop Gwen?” I heard Ricky's voice behind me. He came to visit and decided to take Granny, the boys and I out for lunch.Ricky peered through the door and spotted Andrew. His expression changed immediately. He became furious.“What are you doing here? Did you come here to humiliate her even more?” He bellowed at Andrew.“Can I talk to you Gwen?” Andrew spoke, completely ignoring Ricky.His actions infuriated Ricky. Ricky grabbed Andrew by the collar and punched him in the face. Seeing this, Fred quickly retaliated by grabbing Ricky by the arm.Ricky was no match for Fred's muscular and well-built physique. He tried to free himself but he failed.“Ricky, would you stop that?” I said.“And Mr Andrew, I am sorry to disappoint y
Gwen's POV“No!” I said sternly.“No?” Andrew asked, perplexed. He got up from his knees and held me by the shoulder. He looked deeply into my already tearful eyes.“What do you mean by No?” He spoke softly. I saw delicate eyes that I had not seen in years. The same eyes that only stared at me when he was about to consummate our marriage.“I no longer want to make things right between us, Andrew. You do not deserve me," I said, tears streaming down my cheeks.“You did not give me a chance to explain myself. It was as if you were waiting for me to do something wrong. You accused me of cheating, you called me all sorts of names and you expect me to just forgive you?”“I am sorry Gwen, I….”“No!, get out” I yelled, pushing him hard by the chest. “Get out Andrew, my kids just need I alone”“Gwen,” Andrew said, holding me by the arm.Luckily, Ricky walked in just in time. He yanked me free from Andrew's grip.“What the hell is wrong with you man? She said you should go away” Ricky said, wa
Rickard's POV"Hey Shawty, how about a night with me?" I offered, winking at the waitress."You asshole," she cursed, pouring the drink she was holding over me.I wasn't upset. I admired fierce and bold women like her. Her type would be dominant in bed, and I would not have to do anything."Come on," I said with a mischievous smirk.She angrily stormed off and that made me laugh hysterically. I checked my watch and realized it was quite late. My plan to completely eliminate Andrew is moving slower than I anticipated. Elena might be a little less competent than I thought.She always allows her emotions to get in the way. But, in time, she will have no choice but to do exactly what I say.I grabbed a bottle of beer and walked out of the bar. My apartment was only a few blocks away.I could not shake the feeling that I was being followed. With each step I took, I could hear another behind me. I owned the neighborhood within the short period of time I have been there and I wondered who
Rickard's POVI was awakened by a noise coming from my door. “Argh, who could it be this early? Can't someone get a good sleep around here?” I let out a feeble groan. I opened my eyes and used my hands to rub the sleep off.My apartment had two bedrooms, one of which had a balcony, and a sitting room. It was not particularly big, but it was all I could afford. I was surviving thanks to my Father and Elena's generosity.The knocks at my door increased, causing louder sounds. I jumped out of bed and wore a plain shirt.I did not go to bed early last night because I was too busy looking for a place to bury Brody's body without raising any suspicions.Dealing with Brody's lifeless body was exhausting. Who could have thought he would still be a pain in the ass even after being dead?“Coming,” I said.“What the hell is taking you so long?” Elena asked frantically through the door.“Hey beautiful,” I said excitedly, as I flung my arms wide open for a hug."Excuse me," she said angrily as s
