Henry. She sat there without moving, with arms wrapped around her protectively like she was going to get hurt if she ever let go of herself. “Emily,” I called and even that didn’t get her to bring her head up. She kept it buried between he knees as she stayed there, swaying herself from side to side. I couldn’t help but imagine what on earth happened to her, what happened in this place. “Are you alright?” I asked still standing where I was, I don’t know how she would react if I walked towards her. “Emily?” I called again. I couldn’t take her silence anymore, I walked up to her and knelt beside her. I held her hand but quickly retracted it when she moved back in shock. “Emily,” I called softly this time. “It’s me,” I started, jeez I haven’t done this before. I have not comforted anyone before so how the hell am I going to go with this? “It Henry Emily, I’m here now. You don’t have to be scared anymore,” I said hoping she would at least bring her head up and look at me. I was
Gwen. It was the day we got to know the DNA test results, and I was feeling jittery about it. I have no idea what to do if Jason really turns out to be Emily’s son. I don’t know if I should let her take him or let Jason choose and I did ask him this morning, I wanted to know if he would ever go with his mother if he finds her but that didn’t end well so I let it go. We got to the hospital, annoying Ryan and I….yes I called him annoying because that’s what he’s. He refused to talk to me after our second failed date but I did apologize to him, over and over again. “Wait here, I will go see the doctor first,” he said, and without waiting for me to answer he left. I glared at his back before doing what he said. I slumped on the nearest chair in the hallway as I waited for Ryan, he spent about 5 minutes in the doctor's office before coming out with a little envelope. I got up on my feet immediately when I saw him and rushed to his side. “What did the test say?” Ryan stretched the li
Henry. “What do you mean you couldn’t find anything about him?” I yelled at the man standing in front of me. “I tried searching for him but it felt like the whole thing was wiped. His name wasn’t in the data and neither has anyone with that name associated themselves with Miss Emily,” he answered. I paced up and down, rubbing my hands together. Nothing, they couldn’t find anything about this Ian and neither had anyone with this name been around Emily, so I do not know if what Emily said was true or not. “Is that all?” I asked sighing heavily. “Yes.”“You can leave,” he nodded and then turned to leave but then paused and turned back. “Is there something you need? If it’s about your payment, don’t worry I will send it to you before you get home,” I said with a slight frown. “No, boss. It isn’t about my payment, I found something while going through Miss Emily’s file and I think you might want to know about it,” he said. “What’s it?” I asked, already interested in what he was goi
Gwen. After trying to decide if I should tell Henry or not, here I am walking into Henry’s company with the evidence Ryan found and the DNA report I got from the hospital. Coming here, I didn’t believe Henry would believe what I was going to say but for the sake of the little relationship we had, I wanted to help him. He shouldn’t live with a lying bitch just because he’s in love with her, I care for him. I still do and I don’t think anything is going to change that. The receptionist let me in and I was surprised by it, I had thought Henry would tell his staff not to let me in any time I was here. But guess they do not know about our divorce yet. The secretary Lola saw me and her face immediately blossomed with a smile. “Good morning Mrs Baldwin, what can I help you with?” She asked with her warm smile. I wanted to correct her but I didn’t have the heart to do so. “Is your boss in?” I asked. She nodded and muttered a ‘a minute please’ before going to Henry’s office. My heart w
Henry. I had thought I had heard it all this morning but guess what Steve gave to me was just the icing on top and not the whole thing. Gwen had evidence and she wasn’t just saying this because she hated Emily, I knew she wasn’t. She was doing this because she wanted me to know what kind of person Emily was, and what kind of person she was hiding from me and the whole world. Gwen always has a good heart, and one thing I know is that this was true. “Look Gwen, I’m not saying this to upset you or to make you feel bad but it’s….it’s just so hard to believe. Is this child even mine?” I asked, staring at her confused. But I noticed she wasn’t looking at me but my hand that was holding hers. “Let go of my arm Henry,” she said and I quickly took my hand off hers. “Sorry,”“Believe me or not Henry but you should know this isn’t the first time Emily has been acting this way. I knew nothing about this because we weren’t together anymore, Emily broke my trust so I decided to stay away from
Emily. I paced around the room thinking of what to do. These days had been shitty for me and with Ian’s threat and his wish to see his child, I have been stressed. I didn’t have enough resources to find the child but the little I had I have to pour everything into it. I want the child found, not because I want to take him back but because I want to get free from Ian’s grasp. He was the only thing between Ian and me and I didn’t care if Ian wanted him because he wanted to punish the child or kill him. He can do whatever the fucks he likes when he gets the child. I have done enough for him and yet he still showed me how roguish and animalistic he would always be. He threatened me because I couldn’t send the money on time to him.Those boys, those walls cracks, and the words they said to me wouldn’t leave my head. I was thankful none of them touched me, I knew they wouldn’t because they wouldn’t dare disrespect Ian. To them, I was Ian’s property and no harm should come to me—I heard
Ryan. Jealousy. A word I wasn’t familiar with since I had nothing to do with feelings. This feeling often refers to thoughts or insecurities, fear or concern over a relative lack of possession or safety. I was feeling that right now and I hate it. I hate having this odd new feeling moving inside of me and it was all because of a certain red head with a hot body. I was more of a nightstand man, I hated relationships and anything that had to do with them but that changed when I met Gwen. She was everything but then my hopes got dashed when I found out she was married, she was fucking married and I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe the first time I wanted someone, the first time my dead heart started beating for someone and it turns out the woman was married. She was fucking married and even had a child, did that stop me from knowing more about her? No, I don’t give up easily, I always get what I want and since the first time I set my eyes on Gwen, I knew I wanted he
Gwen. I got home, and immediately I stepped inside my apartment I slumped on the ground. What I did and saw today was too much for me. Henry. I do not know if he would believe what I had said—I know he would. He would get his people to find out about this and then know I’m telling the truth. I had thought Henry knew about everything, about me and Emily being friends—best friends, if I add— and him being the one who separates us. He doesn’t know a thing and yet I wonder how he would feel to know what really went on that night, the same night we both had sex for the first time. I shook the thought off my head, I didn’t want to think about that right now. I wanted to think about Jason, he had a new family, a family that wasn’t ready to accept him. Oh, I know that very well, a mother who’s willing to leave her child in the pouring rain, leaving him to die doesn’t want him. I don’t know what I would do if Emily found out about him and then tried to get him, will I be able to let Jaso
