FAZER LOGINGwen POVAfter Baron made the agreement, he opened the door and invited Jo and Dr. Chloe back. We did not talk about it anymore.Dr. Chloe and Jo stayed for a while before leaving for the hotel where the three of us would be staying.Baron told me to come with them so I could rest, but I refused. I told him that I am going to stay.He did not argue after that. Maybe he thought that he could never persuade me to go.Baron accompanied Dr. Chloe and Jo to the hotel we will be staying at after informing me to expect Mason later.I nodded, but I was distracted. I was eyeing Dr. Chloe, checking her expression at the mention of Mason.We bid our goodbye, exchanged hugs, and then they were gone.I was left alone with Damian.I watched his face. It was still the same.I sat down on the chair next to the bed and held his hand. And that was the last thing I remembered.I did not realize that I had dozed off until I heard the sound of the door opening and closing.I opened my eyes slowly.At firs
Gwen POVMy knees buckled. I lost control of my legs and reached toward the bed. My hands pressed to keep my balance.I could not believe it.“How?” I asked, tears welling in my eyes. I wanted to ask a lot of questions, but that was the only word that came off my lips. My mind is in a jumble. I really do not know what to think.Damian has always been a fair man, and I had long puzzled over the hatred that his family has for him, especially Damon. They were twins. I had read somewhere that twins had a special bond. But not in Olson's case.Damon always believed the worst of his brother. He never once defended Damian from his family.“He found Damian and kidnapped him.”I shut my eyes, as an image of the brothers came into my mind. I could picture them arguing. They could exchange harsh words and punch each other in the face. But I can not picture one hurting the other with the intent to kill.Damon has always been a kind and gentle person. Caring. I can’t imagine him hurting his own br
Gwen POVIt did not take Baron long to haul us out of the hospital and into the airport, where a private plane was already waiting for us.At first, the hospital won’t let us until Dr. Chloe butted in. She volunteered to monitor my condition.It was only then that the hospital gave us her consent.“Thank you,” I told her.She shook her head. “You are my patient. Mr. Olson paid me to look after you.”I shouldn’t be surprised. Mason told me about it. I was just too stubborn right then to take advantage of Damian’s goodwill. I thought that by not showing up for my sessions with Dr. Chloe, I wouldn’t be indebted to Damian further.But I was wrong.“So please stop trying to hide from me, hmm.” Dr. Chloe said. She sounded scary, but that was expected. I never showed up for my appointments before.“I am sorry.”Dr. Chloe shrugged.“As long as we are clear on the matter.”And to my surprise, she smiled at me.I felt Jo grip my hand and bite my lip. I was glad that she was here.My gaze was fi
Baron POVGwen had been asking me about Damian.If it were up to me, I would call him and tease him. At last, it felt like the feeling was mutual. Unfortunately, I can’t.Damian would never hear about it because until now, he was still lying in a hospital bed.My expression turned grim at the thought. Right now, Damian is still fighting for his life.Until now, he was in a comatose state.Damon shot him in the chest in front of their parents and grandfather.Grandfather Ryan had a heart attack. He did not expect that Damon would kill his brother. He kept hoping that, despite the disagreements between them, they could still mend their relationship, but because this happened, the authorities had to intervene.The Vanguard Bureau captured Damon, and there was nothing we could do about it now.The decision on Damon’s fate was no longer in our hands. Initially, Damian tried to intervene for his brother, but now that Damian was unconscious, the decision depends on the higher-ups.And even i
Jo POVThe medic arrived. Baron relinquished his hold on Gwen and allowed them to place her on a gurney to be transported in an ambulance.Before Baron got inside the ambulance, he and Senator Adams shook hands.After he boarded the ambulance, Nick and I got in as well.He was looking at his phone and then at Gwen. I was waiting for him to call anyone between the Olson brothers, but he didn’t. Instead, he kept sporting a grim expression on his face.I remember, back in the interrogation room where we found Gwen, she kept asking for Damian. I know I had no right to ask why she was asking for him instead of her ex-husband, but I did not want to pry.Not when Gwen was obviously so out of it.She looked drained, and her face was pale.She also had circles and bags under her eyes.The ambulance stopped at the nearest hospital emergency room, and we all got out after Gwen in the gurney.Doctors attended to her immediately. I think it must be due to the presence of an esteemed senator that s
Jo POVWhen I heard from Baron that Gwen had been taken to a police station, I instantly alerted Nick.Like me, he was also concerned about her and would want to know if she was alright.We immediately filed for a half-day leave to go to Gwen.“The elevator has arrived,” Nick shouted. I was still on the phone trying to contact Gwen, but it just kept ringing.No one’s answering.That made me worry so much.Nick held the elevator door so I could pass through. “Who are you calling? Was it Damon?” He asked.Until now, we hadn’t forgotten that day when Damon Olson announced in the building that Gwen was his ex-wife. Nick was not there to hear Damon verbatim, but juicy information involving our employers wouldn’t find it hard to reach him.There had been too much speculation circulating around the company about Gwen and the Olson twins. I kind of guessed that it must have been the reason Gwen was forced to move out.She could not stand being the center of gossip.In the short time that I ha
Gwen POVA week has passed, and we kind of settled into a routine.I still use the bus service, and every morning, Baron will fetch me.Every morning, when I came downstairs ready for work, Damian was already gone. Whether he was purposely avoiding me or just leaving early, I couldn’t tell. Yet I f
Gwen POVI stood in front of the mirror, frozen in place as Damian's worried gaze swept my frame from head to foot. It lingered on my face, and his brows furrowed into a frown.I looked back in the mirror to study my reflection, only to gasp in dismay because to anyone it was unmistakable that I cr
Gwen POVI went back to my job of scrubbing floors at the lobby, my usual assignment, which I gathered came from Genna herself.It was her little act of wickedness, showing everyone around that I, the boss’s wife, was relegated to scrubbing floors in the lobby. She was pulling rank, reminding me th
Gwen POVI waited until Damian buckled his seatbelt and we were on the road, away from the prying eyes of hotel employees, before I launched into a verbal attack.“What was that stunt for?” I snapped, clearly irritated that he had taken me against my will.He even warned me not to pip a squeak beca
