last update Last Updated: 2022-09-17 14:05:40
A few weeks had passed since Gwen introduced Finn to Cody, and they were spending a lot of time together. She was actually surprised that Finn would have so much free time to spend with him, but she wasn't complaining.

Ever since Cody discovered that he had a father, the little boy talked about it day and night, which was making her kind of jealous. But seeing her son so happy and delighted was worth anything.

Finn was also much happier lately, and people at the company were starting to comment.

There was also her new job. Gwen had been busy trying to find a nice place to live, while handling everything she had to learn at work. It was not easy at all, but she could manage it.

She asked Finn to help her ship her and Cody's belongings from their old home. She also called the landlord of her previous home to cancel their rent contract, and hired a company to pack her stuff. Finn was going to take care of the rest for her.

He also insisted that he was the one to choose the apartment she

    Gwen still couldn't believe that it was already the night of the party. As she put some make up on, her hand shook with nervousness. She thought about taking Stephanie with her for moral support, but her friend said it would be weird to be there, since it was a company party."How am I going to deal with all this alone?" she asked when Stephanie rejected her suggestion. "I'll probably be alone there most of the time, having to bear everyone looking at me like I'm some gold digger."And that was exactly what happened.She agreed to let Cody go with Finn, since it would be weird if she appeared with a kid by her side since no one else was going to bring children to the party. Finn didn't have a plan for his announcement, so he simply said he was going to bring Cody with him and introduce him as his son to everyone while walking around the hall.Of course people asked who the mother was, since Finn wasn't married. Gwen heard a few comments about the kid not being Vivienne's son, which ma

    Gwen released her arm from Finn's hand, anger replacing her previous nervousness. She wasn't that rude to his mother anyway. Mrs. Lane had been much worse, with her rude implications and sneering looks.So why did Gwen have to accept that and stay quiet like a submissive person? She wasn't going to accept it, especially not from his mother."Maybe you should ask her instead. I don't owe you any explanation," she replied, looking at Finn in disappointment. It wasn't his fault though, and she knew that. Finn had no idea of the shared history between the two women, but Gwen wasn't going to be the one to tell him anything. He wouldn't believe her anyway."What do you mean ask her? You two just met," Finn said, also angry.Gwen gulped."I don't have to say anything to you, okay? And you know what? I'm going home with Cody. This party is over for me. Actually, it didn't even begin.""No, you're not," Finn refused."You don't tell me what to do," she replied, with her head up. "It's already

    Good thing the next day was still the weekend. Gwen didn't feel like facing Finn or any of the employees. The previous night had been terrible for her and all her dreams were filled with giant eyes staring and disgusting fingers pointing at her.She knew it was going to be hard, but when it happened, she wasn't ready for it. Now, she would have to face all of it at her job, every single day, until they had something better to talk about and forget about her.She shared it all with Stephanie, and the woman was about to spit fire from her nostrils. "Holy sh*t!" she whispered, trying to not to be heard by Cody. "How can someone be so fake? That woman is the devil in person, that's what. I can't believe she pretended not to know you," she complained, not trying to hide the anger she was feeling.That made Gwen feel a bit better. At least someone understood what she was going through at that moment."And Finn was trying to understand what happened? Thank God you didn't say anything, right?

    "I'm so sorry," Gwen said to the man. "My son is not feeling well, so I have to go now." The guy looked intrigued and surprised, like he didn't believe that she was a mother."It's okay. Maybe a next time, right?" he said with a smile, and Gwen felt terrible. He seemed to be so kind."Is Cody okay?" Stephanie asked after they had left the bar and called a cab."Yeah, Finn said he took some medicine, but he wants to see me. He probably ate something he shouldn't have," Gwen explained, already seeing ahead. Cody couldn't eat too much sugar, it always gave him stomachache. Gwen had texted Finn to tell him that she wasn't home, but was going there immediately. When the cab stopped in front of Stephanie's house, Finn was already there, waiting with Cody at the door."Mommy!" Cody came running towards her as soon as she left the car. Gwen made a huge effort to lift him and take him in her arms, since Cody was getting heavier with time."What happened, baby? Did you eat something bad?" she

    Gwen turned to look at Finn, astonished. He didn't even look at her. His eyes were on the other man in front of her, and he didn't seem pleased at all. In fact, he looked about to beat the man."Finn, that's not necessary…" she whispered, trying to prevent such a harsh consequence. She didn't want anyone to be fired because of her. Finn ignored her completely. The IT guy seemed really surprised, but didn't say anything. He simply left with his head down. Maybe he should've kept his thoughts for himself instead of spitting it all out in her face, she thought.Gwen couldn't pretend not to be grateful though. It felt really good to have Finn protecting her like that. For a moment, she almost forgot their history. It was like they were dating again. She liked when he acted like a protective boyfriend.Finn turned his back to her and walked towards his office, not bothering to talk to her. Gwen squatted down to grab the documents and rushed to reach him.Why was he treating her that way?

    "Come on, Gwen. It's going to be fun. This night club is super popular right now. Every big shot and celebrity has been going there lately," Stephanie tried to convince a twenty year old Gwen to join her. "Who knows? Maybe you meet someone that helps you with your modeling career," she continued, trying to persuade her friend. "Or even a cute guy to make out with."Gwen considered that. It wouldn't hurt to go out for one night to have some fun. She wasn't much of a party girl, but she was young and single, so why not? Maybe she could meet someone nice. She was already a model with a burgeoning career; she had a contract with a cosmetic company and was getting a lot of jobs lately. But it would be great to meet new people."Fine," she said, giving in to Stephanie's request.When they arrived at the night club, Gwen could see that her friend was telling the truth. The place was filled with celebrities and important people, and she didn't even know how Stephanie managed to get both of the

    Gwen couldn't believe her eyes. How could she meet a billionaire and have a one-night stand with him? She was just an ordinary woman. Even though they had an amazing chemistry - and incredible sex, she had to add - she would never belong to a world like his. Panicking because of this discovery, Gwen turned to grab her clothes and leave. She was wearing just his shirt from last night. But when she decided to do that, she bumped into him. When had he woken up? "Good morning to you," his hoarse voice came from above her head, and memories of the previous night flashed inside her mind, making her legs tremble.He looked as intoxicatingly handsome as he did the night before."Good morning," she replied, clearing her throat. But the man didn't even notice it, instead choosing to kiss just below her jaw."I can't believe that you're a billionaire," she commented between gasps, unable to pretend she hadn't seen the headline. "Is that a bad thing?" he asked, pulling away from her to look int

    Gwen decided to end the conversation with Finn. She had nothing else to say to him, so she simply left the documents on his table and left the room, feeling awful. And he didn't try to stop her.A massive headache made Gwen feel even worse, and when it was time for the lunch break, she almost cried of relief. She could leave at least for an hour and get some fresh air. While waiting for the elevator, Gwen started to analyze the conversation with Finn again. Why did he have to say all those things to her? Why did it still matter so much to him? Could it be that he was still in love with her?But Gwen shook her head right after thinking that. It was an absurd. The door to the elevator opened and she entered without paying attention. And with that, she bumped into someone. Again."I'm so sorry," she said, looking at the stranger's face. And then, she realized that the person standing in front of her was the man from the bar from the previous day."I know you!" he said, widening his smile

    "What are you doing here?" Finn asked, recovering from the shock of seeing the woman at the door. He had just received the call he was waiting for the entire day, and he did not expect her to show up so soon. In fact, he wasn't expecting to see her at all.Marcy sneered, passing by Gwen as if she was just part of the furniture. She didn't even glance at her."It came to my attention that you were investigating me," she said towards Finn. "Imagine my surprise to know that my son was sending detectives to put their noses in my businesses?" Gwen watched, with her mouth opened, the woman make herself at home as usual when she simply grabbed the glass of wine they were drinking at the balcony and sat on the couch.Finn's expression was hard to read. Gwen couldn't tell if he was shocked, angry, sad or disappointed. Or maybe it was all of those.Marcy opened her small crocodile skin handbag and took a cigarette from it, lit it up and inhaled very deeply, unconcerned about the two staring at

    The next morning, Gwen opened her eyes, and Finn was still by her side on his enormous bed. She didn't remember when they finally fell asleep the previous night, but just the memories of their rendezvous made her feel butterflies in her stomach again.She had so much she wanted to ask him, so much to catch up, but she'd rather take things slower this time."Morning." His hoarse voice echoed by her side, and she turned to look at him."Good morning." She leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cheek."Are you feeling better?" Finn asked.Gwen nodded, still mesmerized that she was really waking up by his side. If her past self saw this scene, she wouldn't believe it."Guess we'll have a lot to catch up on the next few days, right?" he joked, pulling her closer for a hug.She stayed there, quiet and cozy against his chest, only feeling him breathe and enjoying that moment."Do you think Cody is already awake? I was thinking we could all skip work and class today and just do something fun,

    The touch of Finn's chest on her skin made Gwen beg for more. Her body was physically aching from wanting him so bad. She had no idea how she could feel something so strong like that, and it only made her want to continue.Finn had been caught by surprise, but as soon as he realized that Gwen had taken the initiative, which meant she wanted the same thing as him, he put his hands around her waist and pulled her even closer.His hands were unraveling every part of her skin that was uncovered, but it didn't take long for him to get rid of her dress.Gwen felt his fingers squeeze her thighs and her butt, making her gasp with desire. She wanted him. It was that simple. Passing her hands all over his bare chest, she started to push him backward.When his legs bumped into the mattress, she shoved him over it, forcing Finn down on the bed. He widened his eyes at her, and Gwen saw the unspoken question in his gaze. But she had made her mind, and she didn't feel like talking about it at that mo

    "Are you sure your heard her voice?" Finn asked, his expression now darkened. "Maybe you imagined or dreamed it, Cody." But Cody was shaking his head firmly."No, daddy. It was grandma. I called her but she didn't come to see me. I think she doesn't like me," Cody stated, lowering his head.Gwen felt sad for her son, but that's what she wanted to hear. That was enough proof for Finn to believe her now, right? If Marcy was at the same place as Cody when he was kidnapped, that was more enough to prove her involvement. She wondered if Finn would think the same.Afraid to make eye contact to him, but dying inside to see how he reacted, Gwen lifted her head to look at Finn, and the scene she saw was heartbreaking.He looked devastated. His shoulders were down, as if he was carrying a truck on top of them; his eyes were looking at Cody, soulless and incredulous; it was like all his energy and kindness had been ripped from him."It can't be…" he murmured to himself. Gwen looked from him to

    It had been ages since Gwen had woken up feeling so poorly. The sheet beneath her was soaked in sweat; her head was heavy and her whole body ached. Even the slightest movement made her regret moving at all."Oh, God…" she murmured to herself."Are you alright?" Finn's voice echoed in the dark.The whole room was dark and it was hard to tell where exactly she was. She saw Finn's silhouette as he slowly opened a curtain, letting in the morning light.Gwen blinked a few times to adjust her sight to the sudden brightness, and then she saw the most beautiful sight she'd ever seen. Finn was there, looking at her with concerned eyes, his hair wet, wearing only black clothes which Gwen though that made him even sexier.He came towards her holding a tray full of fruits, pancakes with syrup, orange juice and cereal. A whole breakfast meal just for her; and in bed, which was something that Gwen was not used to at all."I… I think I've had better days," she finally answered, after recovering from

    "Is he alright?" she asked, getting up from the bed hastily.Her head spun for a moment, and Finn had to hold her and put her on the bed again."Yes, he is. They are bringing him to us now."Gwen started to cry again as soon as reality hit her. Her son was okay. Nothing else mattered at that moment. All she wanted was to take Cody in her arms and hug him like she never did before.The next minutes passed in slow motion for her. She could hear the clock ticking and she couldn't stop shaking her legs impatiently.Finn was walking from side to side, very thoughtful. He didn't say anything else, which bothered her for a moment. But she also thought it was better that way, because she still had a lot to say to him about his mother, and without proof, she would only provoke another fight.When she heard the doorbell, it was like her soul had gotten out of her body. She rushed to follow Finn, who had already been on his way to open the door.When her eyes fell upon the little boy, wearing the

    Gwen collapsed on her chair immediately after she heard that. Stephanie didn't need to say anything else; she was pretty sure who was behind it.But nothing crossed Gwen's mind about what to do. If she was right, there was nothing she could do, her hands were tied. But she wouldn't leave her son alone. She would go through hell to get him back."Gwen? Gwen!" Stephanie yelled on the other side, since Gwen didn't say anything."I'll tell Finn, I'll call you back." She hung up the phone, and gathering strength from somewhere deep inside her soul, Gwen got up and rushed to the elevator to go to Finn's office.As soon as she got there, she didn't wait to see if she could come in or not. She simply burst in, invading his office like she owned the place. She didn't care what he was going to think about it, Cody's life was much more important than anything else."Gwen, what happened?" He looked at her with puzzled eyes. He was checking something on the computer screen in front of him, so Gwen

    "Are you sure about this?" he asked, taking another sip from his drink. "You won't have another chance like this in your life ever again. Is this because of Finn?"His posture caught Gwen's attention. It was like an entire different person had taken his place. She had never seen Clyde so serious and bitter. His jaw was clenched, his eyes were avoiding Gwen, and his knuckles were white from gripping the glass so hard."I'm sorry, Clyde," she repeated. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I really thought we could make this work, but I can't. I'm a mess right no-""Fine," he interrupted her. "You don't have to explain yourself to me. You can do whatever you want. It's your life anyway."Gwen was left open-mouthed, speechless. She would never imagine he would react that way. He was always so kind and warm to her. Was he really going to treat her that way just because she didn't accept his job offer? Or reciprocate his feelings?But when she was about to say something back, he simply finished the l
