Emily. Sometimes you have everything in life and have nothing to worry about, but that’s bullshit. There’s always something deep down that always keeps you awake at night even when you try to act fine in front of other people. That worry is your nightmare and that nightmare haunts you every single night of your fucking life. Ian is my nightmare. When I first saw him I thought he would be my savior, be the one to bring me out of my dark place. He did that for the first year we were together; he was sweet, kind, caring, and very passionate. And like I fool, I thought he was the one. I thought he would be my prince in shining armor but I was wrong. Ian started showing his bad side the second year of being together and his attitude did worry me but there was nothing I could do. But then he started pushing his behavior to Riley and that was something I could not handle anymore, so I knew I had to leave—we had to leave. And though we left, he still wasn’t making it easy for me….for us.
Gwen. I sat at the restaurant with a glass of strawberry juice before me as I waited for Emily. It was past two and yet she wasn’t here when we agreed to meet her by two. So she not being here at the designated time was annoying and as much as I have to hear her ads today, I knew this was the start of my awful day. I picked the cup up and sipped from my drink, my eyes focused on the door to the restaurant. Emily was still nowhere to be found, it was fifteen minutes past two and Emily was not here. Now I think I made a bad decision planning this lunch with her, she will always be a bitch. I took another sip from the juice just as the door opened and Emily strode in. She was truly a bitch when I say so and seeing how she attracted everyone’s attention, I knew she planned this and wanted it to happens. Her eyes searched the sea of people before landing on me, I forced a smile on my face. She sauntered to my side and took off her sunglasses. “Gwen,”“Emily,” we greeted each othe
Henry. I could not do it anymore. It has been days, too many days that I couldn’t remember but I know it had been a long time since I last set my eyes on my Jas. I missed her and me not signing that damn papers was foolish on my part. I should have signed and gotten the opportunity to be with her for two days, maybe after some time Gwen could change her mind and add more days to it. But no, like an asshole with an ego as huge as my company, I did not sign. I walked out on her instead. Since I couldn’t take it anymore, I rushed out of my company and now I’m here with absolutely no idea what to do. I was here, parked right outside Jas's preschool and I was too scared to go inside. I had a lot of thoughts in my head a lot of them being Jasmine hating me. I haven’t been there for her for days and I know she would hate me….that’s if she hasn’t already. I glance at the school building again, changing a mantra in my head over and over again. I can do this, there’s no big deal in this
Gwen. I stayed seated in the hospital hallway as I waited for Ryan, he was speaking with the doctor who was in charge of conducting the DNA test between Emily and Jason. He wanted it to be fast and confidential, that’s why he was speaking with him as a lawyer and not as Ryan. “Sorry, I took a lot of time in there.” My eyes snapped to his. I shook my head to let him know I wasn’t annoyed. “It’s alright, hope everything is fine?” I asked. “Yeah, results will be out in two days, three days tops and we will get our answer.” I nod. Deep inside I was hoping for Emily not to be Jason’s mother, Jason deserves someone who would love him for what he is and not a stuck-up bitch like Emily. He deserves a better mother. “Ready to leave?” He asked, stretching his hand out for me to take. I took his hand and he led us out. I checked the time and sighed in relief when I saw it was just past three, Jas and Jace's school closes by three thirty which meant I only had a few minutes to spend wit
Gwen. I walked angrily into the park and tried searching for Henry and the kids amongst the large number of kids and parents around here. It was hard but I knew I would get to them in no time, I knew they must be here. Something tells me they were here and not because I heard the kids chattering and laughing on the phone but because I……“Mommy!” Jasmine's call pulled me from my mini thinking moment. I looked around searching for her before seeing her, she was with Henry and Jason. Once she saw I was staring, she waved happily at me. I did the same thing and also waved at Jason but when my eyes connected with the bastards my smile fell. I was so pissed at him. “Hey baby, what are you doing here?” I asked. Jas was busy playing with the sand, molding what looked like a…..I do not know what to call that. Same with Jason, Jason was supportive by providing her with the sand, the children’s clothes looked so messy and dirty. “Daddy bwoght us here,” I know he did and I’m coming for him
Gwen. I looked at him unfazed, it wasn’t my business if he was having any issues at that time. All I needed was for him to sign and we would have gotten over this already. We wouldn’t have been having this conversation again and again and again. “I couldn’t do it,” his voice was lower this time. “I couldn’t bear the thought of seeing my child just two days Gwen. It was hard, I did wrong I know. I was wrong in acting that way in the past but you should still remember that I’m her father and she would need me in her life one day. You can’t cut me out of her life just like that.”“You cut yourself from her life the moment you didn’t show up on her birthdays Henry, I did not do anything you did every single shift that’s happening to you. Put the damn blame on yourself not me!” I snapped, glaring at him. “I know and that’s why I’m apologizing. I made a mistake and I shouldn’t have done that, but you should know that I also want to be in her life too. I want to be in your life,” he said
Gwen. I made sure the both of them stayed in her room, since he was only here for Jasmine then it should be that way. I made him leave the next morning as early as six in the morning, I was not a bitch but I became bitchy after not being able to sleep properly last night. I would not let him get to me through Jasmine. He should get the memo, I was done trying to patch things up with him. I prepared breakfast early as I waited for Jason and Jasmine to wake up. It was almost seven and they were both still asleep, I think Jasmine hardly had any sleep last night because Henry was here. Five minutes later I decided to wake them up so we wouldn’t be late. We did everything and left the house before eight. ……Forty minutes later I was in my office.“Good morning Miss Mars,” the workers greeted as I walked in. “Good morning guys,” I entered my office and sat down breathing heavily. I was fucking stressed out. “Can I come in ma?” Alice poked her head inside my office. “Yeah, come in,”
Gwen. What? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Henry’s company, it couldn’t be. There’s no way the Baldwin’s corp can bag a contract from Mars. It sounded hard to believe, I didn’t want to believe it. There was no way Henry’s company could get the contract when Father's company was there, we were good; Father always liked to employ those with higher knowledge and not just anyone. “Yes, it's hard to believe but it’s true mi…Gwen. But it’s the truth. We are always outrun by Baldwin’s Corp.” she answered my unanswered questions. That couldn’t be possible, even though she had made mention of it I still didn’t believe it. “So now what you’re trying to say is that I…I mean we have to compete with Baldwin’s corp since they are most likely the only one to get the contract apart from us?” I asked taking my eyes back to the file. This sounded more serious than she thought. “Yes, that’s the only one we have to look after in this competition but I know since you are here you will do ev
