The dinner was really a disaster. I didn't know what was worse, Nathan being such a jerk towards Gavin and ZG in front of my family or seeing Gavin almost bite his tongue off to stop himself from going into attack mode. "That was one hell of a dinner." Gavin exclaimed as soon as we got in my room. Mom insisted that we use the same bedroom while ZG and Zia stay in their room for the night since the guest room is being accommodated by Nathan. "Yeah." I said not knowing what to say to him. I turned around and looked at him, he was sitting down on the foot of the bed looking so deep in thought. "Look, Gav. I didn't know he was coming. We were done the moment I knew what he was trying to do with ZG." He looked up at me and I noticed how his demeanor began to change as soon as I said that. I stood up from the bed and slowly walked closer to me. "What did he do to ZG?" He asked me. I got back to my desk as soon as I finished taking care of the meeting room. I'm starting to feel a bit sca
The past few weeks have been a bit weird but were peaceful somehow. Nathan had moved out of my parents' house. I honestly don't know if he went back or if he's still staying here. I haven't heard anything from him since that day and I guess it's for the best. After what happened between him and Gavin, I don't think they could spend another second in the same room without killing each other. But one thing did turn out well with Nathan's sudden arrival. I shuffled around the bed and a smile immediately crept as I laid my eyes on the beautiful specimen that was laying in the bed beside me. My fingers immediately came to his face, tracing his jaw lines as I did my best to stop myself from claiming his lips. I was taken by surprise when Gavin suddenly had me pinned on the bed as he hovered on top of me with a big grin on his face. I was bombarded with questions from my female co-workers, the moment I sat back down on my cubicle. At first, they were very discreet and hushed with their int
Being with Gavin again made me realize that I have never stopped loving him. No matter how much I wanted to forget about him, my heart remained with him throughout the years. I guess it is true, that no matter how far you walk away from each other, people who are meant to be together will always gravitate back to each other. "Mommy?" I heard Zia's voice as she was tugging on my dress. "Are you okay?" She asked me. "Why? What happened?" Gavin suddenly asked as he and ZG walked towards us. "Mommy was staring at you with a silly smile." Zia said that made my eyes bulge out of their sockets. "No, I wasn't." I said to her, looking right at her. Asking her to shut up with my eyes but it looks like I need to work on my silent communication with my daughter. "Yes. You were." She said before hopping away from us. "Just hold it in, love. Our kids are still awake." Gavin whispered to me, taking the picnic basket from my hand before following our daughter, leaving me dumbfounded. "I wasn't
Me and Gavin became so busy with the planning of our renewal of vows. Luckily, we have our family's help together with our friends. Our kids are staying at my parents' house because they think that we could use some alone time with just the two of us and Gavin agreed without any hesitations. Today is the day that we were going to pick up the kids, so we drove to the house. No one was parked in the garage which was a bit strange but I just brushed that feeling off. "Z? Zia?" I called out but it seems like the place was empty. "Zoe." I heard Nana call back to me. She suddenly appeared from the kitchen. "Nathan took the kids out to eat." "He didn't tell me." I said, pulling out my phone to call Nathan. The number you're calling is currently unavailable. I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel before heading out to the bedroom. I was so surprised when Gavin suddenly pulled me by the waist as I stepped out of the bathroom. He then gave me a kiss on the forehead and wi
My heart sank to my heart as I heard the news. My mind went blank, my body when numb and my heart kept pounding in my chest. "Nathan, please. What do you want? Why are you doing this?" I asked him, trying to calm myself down. "You. That's all I want, Cathy. That's all I want." He said to me. "Run away with me and I'll return your kids safely but they are not coming with us." "I can't just leave my kids, Nathan!" I screamed at him. "And I would never want to." "Even if your kids' lives are at the stake? Would you really rather not see them at all your whole life? All I said was that they're not coming with us, I didn't say that you couldn't visit them every now and then. I'm not heartless." He said to me. He knows my weakness and he's using it all against me. "Why are you doing this Kacey?" I asked her before she could leave the office. She stopped at her track and then turn around to face me. "Because he's mine." She replied. "No, he's not. You lost him when you cheated." I sa
“Why don’t we just give him what he want?” I said in desperation to Gavin. His eyes were burning in anger as I spoke.“You want me to be okay with him taking my wife in exchange for my kids?” He asked. “No way I’m letting him take any of you.”“Love, we can guarantee that he wouldn’t hurt me but we can’t say that its the same for our kids. We don’t know what’s going inside his head.” I said, trying to reason out with him.“No. No. Sorry, love. That is not an option.” He said walking out of our bedroom. Its been two weeks since the day of the trial. Kacey had been incarcerated, our lawyer said that she has no chance of winning over her appeal, so that's good news. Andrea has officially turned over her apartment to Zab, and she's currently living there with Charles. After what happened, Charles didn't want to leave Zab alone and I'm seriously thankful to him for that. I've also been back at work and so far, everything is quite normal, well as normal as it could be. Me and Gavin told eve
I took a long heartbreaking look at my husband's sleeping face. I didn't want to leave him again, but I have to do what I have to do for my kids. I know full well that he's going to take good care of them when I bring them back, I just hope that Nathan keeps his end of the deal and lets me visit them. I hesitated a bit, but I knew this might be the last time that I would see him, or be with him and I needed to feel his kiss one last time. I softly pressed my lips unto his, feeling, savoring, and engraving every moment and emotion in my mind and mind. "It could be anemia based on all the symptoms that you said to me, but we can't still be sure about it. We would need to do some laboratory tests on her to have a proper diagnosis." I heard a familiar voice say, but I can't put a finger on it. "Thank you, Caleb." Oh yeah, I remember. That voice is from my high school friend Caleb but I didn't need help in recognizing the voice of the man that he was talking to. "Gav?" I called out to
Gavin was right. I shouldn’t have come here by myself. I was dumb to think that I could handle the situation alone. Nathan had no intention of giving my kids back to Gavin or my parents. He just wanted to trap me in his world, alone.“Nathan. Please. You promised me. Just let them go. I’m here. That’s what you want, isn’t it?” I said to him and he just gave me a smile that sends shivers down my spine. “Yeah. I want you here, but with your kids still alive I know you’ll want to find a way back to them. You’ll never truly be mine with them here.” He said to me as he loaded the gun in his hand. “So, say good bye to mommy.” My body reacted like it was on auto pilot. I ran to my kids, hugging them as I heard the sound of the gun as Nathan pulled the trigger. I then heard a body going down the floor with a familiar voice screaming from behind me.“What the hell did you do?” I heard Gavin’s voice boom as Nathan yelled in protest together with footsteps shuffling inside the house. “Daddy!
