All Chapters of Mistaken Identity: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

-=Jayden's Point of View=-It was very difficult for me not to be affected by the memory of Gabby's pleading expression, but I would be lying if I said that it didn't upset me when I thought about it.After what she did and after she lied about Caleb, I have no reason to feel sympathy or even pity for her. I should not be feeling these things.When I looked over at my son, who was still sound asleep, I exhaled a long, slow breath. I wasn't sure if he was aware that his mother had tried to take him away from me because he was still sleeping blissfully.Because of the medication that was administered to him, he has been sleeping for the past few days.However, the medical experts that I hired assured me that this is quite normal and that he should be waking up at any moment now.Actually, I was more concerned about how I would explain to him that he will no longer see his mother as a result of my decision when he awakens and begins asking about her.Even before Gabby went into Caleb's r

-=Jayden's Point of View=-"I assure you your mother will come," I said, stopping my teeth from chattering as I said that. I hate lying to my son since I know it won't actually happen, but this is the only thing that will calm him down, which becomes less and less effective as time passes."I want to return to my mommy, so please let me go home," I saw tears in my son's eyes as he uttered those words, and I couldn't help but feel hurt since I knew he was suffering. Seven days have passed, and it appears that my empty promises are no longer effective."However, Caleb, this is already your home, and I am your dad; do you want me to buy you more toys?" Even though I couldn't help but panic, I tried to calm him down."I'm going back to mommy," he said, sobbing.I didn't know how to soothe him, so I just held him tightly, as if he would lose his desire to be with his mother. This is how to be a father; it hurts more to watch your child in pain.I was scheduled to meet a very important clie

-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Shit!" I silently muttered while driving the car.When I noticed Gabby trying to hold back her emotions, I kept urging myself not to be affected, but it was like a broken record player that kept playing in my head.I shouldn't be affected, especially considering that's what I really want—to hurt Gabby—but it seems as though I am also being hurt, and I don't understand why.It didn't matter how hard Gabby tried to keep the tears from falling; the trembling in her voice made it clear that she was experiencing deep feelings.I tried to keep my concentration while driving, but Gabby's reaction continued to haunt me. I was too absorbed in my thoughts to know that my son had been calling my name, so I was surprised when Caleb touched my arm."I'm sorry, Caleb. What's wrong?" Just as the traffic light turned red, I asked him while staring at him attentively.I saw the sad expression on my son's face when he said, "I want to be with Mommy," so I instantly started t

-=Gabby's Point of View=-Days passed until it had been a week since our stroll to the mall. I didn't expect that they would come back to me so I could come with them, but they did, and it was because of Caleb's request.I could say that Jayden was willing to grant any of Caleb's wishes, as long as he wanted them, and even though he despised me, he still chose to grant Caleb's wish.But after that, I noticed that Jayden was intentionally avoiding me, and I kept telling myself that maybe it was for the best that we wouldn't see each other that much."Good morning, Caleb; let's have breakfast."My son didn't want to get up yet, so I thought of tickling his belly, which resulted in his room being filled with laughter.I fixed our bed and helped Caleb before we headed to the dining room, where the food was already reserved.As usual, it was only me and Caleb at the dining table. I tried to feed Caleb, but he refused, saying that he was already a big boy."Ok, Mr. Big Boy," I said, trying

-=Jayden's Point of View=-"This can't be happening." I keep muttering to myself, but no matter how much I deny it, the proof is right in my hands.Again, I looked at the reports sent by Arman as if the truth could be changed."Brian is Jared."The documents Arman sent confirmed my suspicions.According to what he gathered, there was an Australian couple who saw Jared when he escaped from the killer of our parents, and also according to the information that Arman gathered, they brought my brother to Australia, where he grew up.According to their testimony to the police, Jared did not remember anything, not even his name, probably due to the shock he felt at that time.I have longed for and dreamed of seeing my brother for so long, but I have mixed feelings now.I couldn't stop my hand from shaking when I took the cell phone out of my pants pocket, and I immediately dialed the number saved in my phone."What a surprise, Jayden," he said to me on the other line. I heard the joy in his
