Gideon Pov...I didn't expect to see hummingbird in our house earlier than the time I should see her. Maybe feelings are mutual that we could sense each other. I'm surprised to see her but inside of me is jubilant to see her and she's fucking sexy with her outfit hugging her perfect body.Her eyes are full of excitement but she is masking it. Just then I caught his brother's surprise and scrutinized look at her. I don't know why he looks at her like that when she's stunning.I concluded my assumptions when we are having our lunch. Nathalie keeps her head low while his brother keeps on checking on her. Then her mistake was when she took my drink that I put something on it to energize me but a different effect on her. I could sense the effect on her while we are still in the middle of the meal. I was glad that my touch calm her a bit until we finished lunch but it was unbearable. We. Escape running into my room both laughing."Nathalie, are you alright now?" I asked her. She laughs."I
Gertrude Pov...I thought the word happy doesn't exist in us but an inevitable surprise visits us to enlighten the dampened mood.The surprise wasn't great at all at first and it was painfully terrifying to handle. I saw my daughter but my heart was crushed to know she doesn't know us of course and she couldn't speak.If not because of the accident, she wouldn't have been separated from me and their lives will not be minx like this but it already happened. All we need is to face it and try to mend what is broken.The pain that Jonathan felt was more excruciating when he saw me. When we had Jasmine back then she was her perfect princess. The light in our house, mood, and life. I understand his anger lingering but to kill I won't let him even how crazy to kill who almost ruined us. Thankfully my daughter speaks after 7 years and her words melt our hearts in an instant.We cried our hearts out with happiness that she could speak now and recognize us as her parents. Jonathan was really a
Nathalie Pov...I didn't expect Gideon to say those words. I'm frozen shocked for a minute unable to speak. I do want to marry him of course but it's not the right timing to drop the bomb. The fact that this meeting was not about us and there are guests in the living room."What!" Everyone blurted shocked but Gideon was certain."I said I will marry her. I'm sorry if we had the honeymoon already but I am taking responsibility!" Gideon emphasized. Things escalated quickly forgetting the guests watching the unfolding live drama."What!" Jonathan bursts out."What do you mean by what? Is it because of our 12 year age gap! Does marrying now based on age? Is that what you mean!" He glared at Jonathan disappointed."Gideon calm down that's not what he meant!" Gertrude intervened but Gideon is already mad."No little sis! It is! You married him somewhat just like your age. Mom is five years young than dad but they are happily married why can't I?" He gritted his teeth hurt."Knight!" I utter
Gertrude Pov...I wasn't expecting that kind of show. It was the first time ever for us to see my brother freak out because of woman or anything. He immediately burst out without letting us justify our actions. We couldn't speak right away as we are surprised. Dad who is a strict and one-word man was stunned unbelievably. Danny find it awkward that they were still mixed with us so he ask to excuse themselves and come back some other day as we have some family matters to discuss. I don't have any choice but to let them. We will invite them on Giovanni's birthday. Jasmine bid them goodbye and thanked them.When they leave the living room is so quiet and heavy atmosphere. I look at our parents and they both have something in their mind. Thank goodness our children broke the defeating silence."Daddy I am hungry. Can we eat?" Jasmine squeaked tugging Jonathan's arms. They have a bond when she was born that's why it's not awkward for them to be together. "Oh! Sorry sweetheart. Yes, we wi
Jonathan Pov..A lot of things happened today that we should process in our minds. It was all unexpected and surprising. Gideon misunderstands me and even revealed he was never keen on me but has no choice because his sister was in love with me. I'm not shocked if he felt it that way but a bit hurt for the truth. I felt like I was choking with my own words unable to speak my thought. I was just frozen staring at them and listening until their voice become distorted away from me."Honey!""Hmn.""You know my brother didn't mean that. He just didn't expect our reaction. He drop a bomb so we are appalled." Gertrude explaining."You don't have to explain my love. He has the right to hate me at first sight. I wasn't picturesque for someone like you! The fact that I care about my sister as well. I feel and understand him." I enunciated. He deserved to get mad and speak up his mind. It was just an unexpected moment to hear that. "Oh, Jonathan!" She cried."I'm fine love. Im not bothered at
Gertrude Pov..After what happened that day, Jonathan decided to bring us home to our own house. We need to breathe as bombs keep on dropping on us unprepared. I've been back for almost two months and just a few days when my memory was recovered. I need to go back to work to lessen Jonathan's load but he insisted that I must stay longer to compensate for the years I wasn't home before my attention will be divided with my work.I give space for my brother and my parents to sort out things while I have my own affairs with my family. Luisa came back while we search for someone who will take her place though Jasmine was growing too fast and don't need a nanny anymore.We both enrolled them at the School owned by dad now after what happened with Jessica's family. The five years I'm gone a lot of things happened. I still feel terrible for her but it's the price for their injustice and unscrupulous actions. I can't imagine that she will end up in mental care. She would be a successful woman
Jonathan Pov...After two months since that day, our life goes back to where it was. My family is back and we are moving forward forgetting what happened. Our past will be a lesson for us. I admit that I am having a trust issue recently. I become a quiet critic of everything. The signing of documents was slowed and meetings with people are often to manifest properly.I am dealing with an empire not a personal business this time. My father-in-law teaches me how to handle them one by one and of these days I will be working with Gideon - my brother inlaw that I don't know if he has a grudge against me or just he hates me for who I am used to be. Well, we will work on that! Personal matters were excluded from the business. That's their family business motto or else they were downhill if they did. Their family keeps their lives private. No one knew my mother-in-law was a cancer survivor.Luisa as well is still with us, continuously training her reliever and David regularly visits her same
Gideon Pov...I was supposed to go back to Italy today for an important meeting when I got an emergency call. I have to drop my flight and call my secretary quickly to attend to my emergency.I called dad that I cant go back to Italy today as I need to go to the hospital. He called his friend to reschedule my meeting for a few days.Picking up my keys to drive on my own to the hospital aa quickly as possible. I'm worried about her. I was in a hurry walking inside the hospital and didn't notice my sister and her husband walking out. When our eyes locked I felt mixed emotions but what floated in the air was his undeniable happiness lingering. "Gideon!" My sister called again snapping in my reverie and looking at her. "What are you doing here? Are you alright?" She asks continuously unaware but her husband is a wizard to notice what is unnoticed. "My sister!" Jonathan beamed. Gertrude looks at him before locking her gaze on me with a questioning look. "I don know. I just received a
