Chapter 1

Gwen's POV "Wash the tumbler quick you sluggish idiot!" George yelled angrily at me as I tried my best to hasten my pace in washing the dishes. The pot-bellied man who was always in a foul mood continued ranting and screaming obscenities at me even as he walked away. It was my second week working in 'Choicest restaurant' and it felt like being in hell already. As someone born with the proverbial silver spoon, I had never in my life thought I would work in a low establishment such as this.I had just gotten home from campus to spend the holiday with my family when I met my father in a sour mood, on enquiring what happened he told me his past involvement in the Mafia had finally caught up with him. The government had all his properties seized and worse he's facing a jail term.Dejectedly, I had left home and made up my mind to search for a job but no one wants to employ the daughter of a criminal, at least for a white collar job so I took the only option left and that's how I found m

Chapter 2

Gwen's POV I couldn't believe my father could say something as such, I looked from him to my mother probably to hear he was only joking but that doesn't seem to be the case."Dad, don't tell me you are really serious about what you said just now." I asked, still finding it hard to believe."I am serious, you have to get married to the son of the chief judge, it's the only way we can get out from this mess." His response to me was quick."I wouldn't get married to someone I don't have any emotional connection with!" I declared, my voice was slightly raised."You will and that's final." He yelled back at me and I decided I wasn't listening to him anymore, I stormed off."Victoria, you get your daughter to do this or we are all going to lose out big time." I heard him say to my mother as I opened the door to my room.I was still in my room when I heard a knock on the door. I stood up and opened the door to see my mother staring at me."Can I come in?" She asked, trying to gauge my react

Chapter 3

Gwen's POV It's been almost two weeks since Andrew and I got married and it still feels like we are total strangers. He looked totally exhausted, probably from the day's work. "Welcome home, how's the office today?" I asked as Andrew breezed in, my eyes trailing his retreating figure.Andrew stopped in his tracks, turned back and briefly looked at me."Thanks, hectic!" Andrew said curtly without sparing me a glance.I was surprised to see him respond. He hadn't been responding to my greetings since I had moved in. Today was clearly a good day for him."Your food is right there on the table." I said in a low voice, pointing to the dinner table. I was surprised the second time that night when Andrew turned to look at me, for the first time since I knew him, he wasn't scowling. He only nodded before moving off to his room.I was surprised to see him that way, he had never acknowledged any of my greetings but this night seemed different. Maybe he was not so bad after all, I shrugged and

Chapter 4

Gwen's POVThe next day, I was cleaning up and arranging the room when I heard Andrew suddenly yell at me."Don't fucking touch my stuffs without my permission first." Andrew's voice was loud and distant making me wonder maybe he wasn't the one all over me last night.Yes, Andrew and I had a great, passionate night. It was okay with me because he was maybe a jerk but he was a handsome man, too. I’ll take it as a one-night stand. Besides, I’m his wife."Why do you always act so cold?" I asked.He looked up at me from what he was doing on his laptop but said nothing, instead he stood up from the bed and decided to walk away."You always treat me like I meant nothing to you" I said feeling hurt in my heart, "I'm your wife so I deserve better."He paused then turned to answer me. "Wife?" He asked me as if it's a strange word to him but when I didn't reply he continued, "you must be really dumb if you haven't noticed we are only married on paper."I could hear the scorn clearly in his tone

Chapter 5

Gwen's POVI woke up to my head banging hard and my eyes feeling dizzy. I was feeling completely unaware of my surroundings and couldn't even remember when I went to sleep. I picked up my phone to check the time and was surprised to see missed calls from Andrew. I wondered how that could be, considering I was a light sleeper and would normally wake up even hearing the faintest sounds.I yawned and got up from the bed then strolled towards the bathroom to quickly rinse my face and help lessen the pangs of headache that wanted to burst my head open. I then moved to get a bottle of water from the living room as my throat felt parched. The whole house looked completely quiet and empty save from the occasional sound coming from the TV. I wondered where everyone went and briefly relaxed when I remembered I was the one that sent Veronica, the maid on an errand and Andrew had stepped out earlier talking about meeting a client. I made a mental note to warn Veronica to always turn off the TV

Chapter 6

Gwen's POV"Are you okay?". Grandma Mary asked me as I wash the last piece of the dish from yesterday.I nodded, forcing a smile. I still couldn't believe it's been some weeks already since I left Washington to come stay with my grandma here in Oklahoma.I had taken the bold step of moving on as grandma had been advising me to but I still think of it every once in a while. The news of Andrew and his ex-girlfriend coming back together had disturbed me that morning and had me thinking about the issue again. I had been hoping he'd had a change of mind, hoping he'd tell me he realized I was innocent but then that only seemed like it could only happen in my dream.All that happened still feel kind of hazy to me, and I don't know maybe I could forget it in a long time to come.The recurring headache I have been feeling for days now seems to have come again even after all the assurances from my grandma it was probably the stress from all that had happened and it will eventually go, I still

Chapter 7

"But you know you have to tell him, at least he has the right to know." Granndma Mary said to me, her voice laden with concern.It was the second day I got to know I was pregnant and grandma had been advising me on thousand of reasons why I need to inform Andrew about the pregnancy."He doesn't even want to see me. I don't think he would give me any audience." I said quietly but grandma only frowned her face."You haven't even try, you must go see him" She said then squeezed my hand. I only nodded and I'd gotten ready immediately to come see him. Currently I'm in the front of Andrew's mansion after alighting from a cab and paying the cabman who had zoomed off immediately.I sighed and got into the compound after gently pulling the gate. I was surprised seeing no one at the gate. Phew! That was new as I remembered there's Fred the ever ready bodyguard and Andrew's driver who is not always far off away. The house looks completely quiet safe for the occasional sound of the television t

Chapter 8

Andrew's POV"What are you going to do?" Elena asked me, as we got back in from outside.I didn't respond at first. My heart was burning with anger so I just kept quiet so I wouldn't go ahead speaking out of turn.How could she even have the audacity to step into my house after all she did? After bringing a man into our supposed home. It's really pathetic when I thought of the incidence and how it had somehow mess up with my head. "Well, don't tell me she still has that effect on you." Elena said but I knew it was more of a question."She has no effect on me. I meant every word when I told her we are done." I responded wiping the sweats that were beginning to form on my brows."And the pregnancy?""What about it?" I asked irritated by the word itself."Are you going to accept it?" Her voice was slightly raised. But that didn't bother me, I knew it wasn't because of me. It was because of Gwen who had shown up to spoil the great weekend we were supposed to be having."No!" I replied cu

Chapter 9

GWEN'S POV"You're not gonna be in there forever you know,"Granny's voice bounced through the door shortly after she knocked for the fourth time. I could. I could basically stay here forever. I could die of this heartache. Why did it hurt so badly? Why did Andrew's rejection hurt this badly? He didn't want me anymore. He didn't want our baby. I sniffled as fresh tears trickled down to the pillow. Another knock disrupted my thoughts. "Just go away!" I yelled at my grandmother. I was irritated with not just myself but with everyone around me. Granny thought she was helping by persisting. I opened the door but she was only pissing me off."I don't want to talk," I growled at my closed door. "Just go away." I sobbed. "You've been in there for over two days now since you..."I rolled over and had the pillow pressed tightly to my ears in a sick attempt to muffle the name that was going to follow. But as though she caught herself, Granny trailed off and remained silent. "I am not a

Chapter 10

ANDREW'S POV"You are not listening!" Elena barked with her gaze narrowing my way. I blew out my cheeks, slammed my computer shut, and snapped my head right at her. "What's this about?" I tried as hard as I could to maintain the perceptible mildness. I couldn't show Elena her constant nags were telling on my mental health. It was just a few days and I was already going nuts. "What if Gwen's child is yours what are you going to do about it?""Only a DNA test can confirm that." I shrugged. She stepped closer to my home office desk and leaned into it, leaning closer as though to smack her words straight into my brain. "That baby isn't yours. There's no need for a paternity test. Forget about her." Her lips contorted grotesquely, "Let's get married."My eyes snapped at her and my jaws sagged. Elena was high on something because how the heck was anyone ever going to describe this attitude?"I just got out of a marriage." I scanned my brain for what to add to that when there was noth
