Gwen's POV I saw him calling someone, and I left him all alone. I went to the nearest souvenir store and just took him there. I know he is already tired of walking around. We have visited local tourist spots, and I keep taking photos of us as souvenirs. "Hey, I'm glad I found you. I have checked three other stores. You should've waited for me," he says. I chuckled. "Here's my payment. Keep the change, thank you." I dragged him outside the store and showed him what I bought. It’s a figurine that we can place in our room as soon as we go back. He sighed and grabbed my hand in his huge palm. "I won't look away. You might leave me again," he says. His words appear to have a second meaning for some reason... "I won’t be leaving you behind." I just bought these. You don’t have to react like that. Hey…" I murmured. But he never looked back and just continued walking and dragging me. "Wait up, Nathan!" I roared. He looks back with a serious expression. What is wrong with him? H
James's POV I was tied, and I saw how she cried because of those thugs that Melissa hired. She wants Ezther to be destroyed, and if the worst were to happen. She might kill her, and she keeps on hiding me from the public. I looked at Melissa and glared at her. "How dare you, Melissa? You're sick! This is the reason why I never had any feelings for you. I knew you were nothing but a bitch from the start!" I roared. She laughs loudly. "Of course I am. It was you who made me this crazy! No one can have you, I told you. You're mine... for life," she declares. "Agh!" those men roared. When we look back, we see her kicking their crotch and using the teaser on them as well. "You bitch!" Melissa stood up and opened her drawer. "Leave now!" I yelled. I knew that would be a gun. "No!" she said. She ran towards us, and when Melissa pointed the gun at her, she kicked her hand. She drops the gun, and Melissa tries to pick it up. Ezther had her own Taser? When Melissa raised her fa
Gwen's POV He faced me and saw my tears. I grasped his clothes, and all he did was hugging me and let me cry. I knew he couldn't resist me, but I am not using these tears against him. I am just afraid that he’ll hate me and suddenly realize that our marriage won’t work. I was afraid of that. I stop crying and raise my head to meet his eyes. I saw how guilty he was. I cupped his face. "I'm sorry for the things I did that made you mad. I don't know what they are, but still. I knew it was my fault," I remark. "No… It's on me. I am just worried because I always love you, no matter where we are. You came into my life unexpectedly, and when we were still inside your story, you always left us behind and tried to fix the problem on your own. You didn't know how worried I was every time that you did that." My eyes widened when I heard what he just said. Inside my story? What is he talking about? Don't tell me he is… "I'm Raphael Ross. I was caught in an accident, and I became a ch
Nathan's POV Everyone is here, and they all drag us inside. They shove our asses down the couch and stare at us. I blinked and tried to analyze the situation. We just got home, and they didn't know that we were already on our way when mom called me. "Mom, everyone, what is this?" Gwen asks. Her family is also here, and they seem to be happy and excited. "Melissa had finally paid for what she did to us!" Ezther says. Gwen smiled and looked at her cousin. I look to my brother. "Are you in pain? You keep standing and bending your back. What happened while we were away?" I ask. They look at each other. They also take their seats. After the maids leave our snacks, they all look at us. I knew it. They're keeping it a secret from us. I hope it's not that serious. Her dad sighs. They started telling us what happened. Melissa had done that, and I feel like Mara has awoken in her. I suddenly remembered Selena. I hope she won't do such a thing. But I believe that jealousy and en
Ezmie's POV I saw a glimpse of sadness in his eyes. We only shared several dates and went out together for just 8 or 10 times. I don't want to take advantage of his kindness, and even if I didn't want to end this... I'm afraid that I have to. I knew that I bothered him a lot. My palm turns into a fist. This is just a normal goodbye kiss. I lean my hand on the backrest of the couch and move closer. I cupped his cheeks and kissed him. He grabs the back of my head and kisses me back. It was different from what I expected. He didn't know how to control himself. His kisses were quick and gentle, but he desired more than gentle caresses. It was like he was controlling his emotions. I opened my eyes when she pinned me to the couch, and his kiss was more torrid. I wrap my hands around him. When he stops and looks at me, I simply smile at him. "Ezmie can—" he pauses. His phone rang, and I saw the name of his secretary. His expression darkens as he answers the phone. "Yes? What h
Jacob's POV I left her in my unit after my secretary begged me to go in the office and help him. I'm just in the middle of a conversation with her, and now's the right time to confess, but damn it! "Thank you for coming with us, Mr. Ramsay. I never thought your genius was in playing golf," he says. I simply laugh. "Thank you, Mr. Jacks. I just love playing one, and that's why I gain such knowledge. Thank you for playing with me, anyway." I replied. He looked at me, and I knew why he was giving me such a glance. But I'll decline his offer. "Why don't you come with us? We are planning to go into that club and have fun," he says. I softly laugh before I speak. "I have some business to do. My wife is waiting for me. She said she'd make my favorite soup tonight. I shouldn't go home late or I'll miss it," I replied. He laughs and smiles. "If that’s what you said. Let's sign the contract tomorrow during lunch before our flight at 3 p.m. Thank you again, Mr. Ramsay," he says.
Nathan's POV I was about to approach them when Selena cut her neck. My wife shook her head, and I know that expression too well. "Let go of my cousin, you psycho!" Ezther roared. Selena laughs as they walk back to the window behind them. "She took everything from me. She seduced you, Nathan! You are still mine, but because of her, you became cold! You even marry this home wrecker!" she roared. Her tears were falling, but her eyes were too furious. I knew she'd kill her if we continued to make her anxious and angry. I look back. "Put down your guns, please! She might hurt my wife!" "But sir!" the guard replied. But when they saw how serious I am. They put down their guns. I look at Selena. "What do you want? Just let go of my wife!" I asked. "Please, Selena… Accept the truth already! Stop acting like this!" her assistant says. She glared at her, making her secretary turn pale. She looks at me, and I see how sorry she is. "Please, let go of my cousin, and we won't hur
Gwen's POV It's been weeks since that time. I am glad that Nathan woke me up from that nightmare. Selena was the one who was crying bloody tears and tried to choke me to death. I smiled when I typed the word 'THE END' in the last chapter of the book that I was working on. It was a new love story based on a girl who loves anime and fell in love with a voice actor. It took me 10 weeks to finish the story. I stood up and stretched my back. Today is Sunday, and everyone is busy grilling the food we will eat for our dinner party in the newly established pool. My cousin will get married tomorrow. I'm happy for them. In the end, their game became serious. "The dinner is ready. Let's go downstairs," he says. I smiled and held his hand. When we reach the poolside, they all smile at me. This is my family; we’re crazy but happy. He pulled a chair for me, and I smiled after that. Ezther poured wine into my glass. I grab it and smell that sweet scent. "I can't… Someone will get angry
