Gwen. After so much back and forth Henry left my place when it was dark and late and I had no way to go meet my father so I called and scheduled for another meeting with him tomorrow morning. Nina and Jade refused to bring the kids back and I didn’t mind because I wouldn’t want them to see me this way. I freshened up but was still staring at the paper, Henry didn’t sign; he refused to sign even if it meant him, not seen his daughter for quite some time. I wonder what he was thinking when he walked out of my apartment angrily. He looked pissed and at a point, I thought he was going to angrily sign the paper but he didn’t and made me know he wouldn’t sign it now or later. I slept off with a lot of thought on my mind, and I was glad I didn’t have any more nightmares. ……..The next morning, I drove to my father's company since he was hell-bent on seeing me. I parked at the parking lot, before going inside. Since it has been a long I came here I wondered if anyone would ever recogniz
Henry. I had just one route in this week and that’s to get Gwen to change her mind. I fucked up with what I had done but I was willing to change—I wanted to change. I was ready to change. I stalked them and made sure I knew where they were going at all times and tried to approach..key word, ‘tried’. I don’t always have the heart to go and meet them and this my ‘little adventure’ just as Emily called it has placed a strain on our relationship. She was getting angry, and nagging a lot and at times I completely got tired of her. She was a beautiful woman but most times I just look at her and wonder what the hell was wrong with her. Just last week I unintentionally missed her visit to the doctor, I know I was at fault for missing such an important day in our lives but I was busy and I wanted to call her to cancel and maybe reschedule but I couldn’t because I forgot. But Emily certainly had other plans, she barged into my office raining insults on me while crying, I decided to ignore h
Gwen. When my father told me I was going to be the acting CEO for some time I honestly didn’t expect it. I had thought I would start from the bottom before getting to the top since I had no single degree in business but I had thought wrong. As if that wasn’t enough, Father went ahead to invite the press and I even heard him saying something about hosting a party for me. He wanted to tell everyone that his long-lost daughter had come back. I still haven’t agreed to that but I knew I would. The day went slow for me but I enjoyed every bit of my stay at the company. I learned a lot of good stuff about the company from my father, the CFO, and some other high-ranking staff. I was set to begin work the next day which was Tuesday and I just couldn’t wait. “Hey papa,” I knocked gently on his door and ducked my head in even though the door wasn’t locked. “Gwen,” he called as he brought his eyes up. His eyes watch me. “You’re leaving already?” “Yes, Jas just called with Nina’s phone
Gwen. I was tired. Unusually tired this morning, I woke up after having that annoying nightmare again but this time it was more vivid and it felt like I was living in it instead of just dreaming about it. My head ached but I knew I had to stand up from this bed and prepare for my first day at work. I still had time though since it was six thirty and I leave by eight-thirty. But my lazy self was too tired to stand up, so I tried closing my eyes again to sleep since I couldn’t have a better one last night. The sound of my doorbell ringing woke me up. I frowned and looked at the time again to make sure I didn’t doze off; six thirty-three was visibly glaring at me. Which meant I didn’t sleep long. The doorbell rang again and again. I groaned as I cursed whoever was at the door. I was supposed to have maybe an hour or thirty minutes sleep before getting up but whoever that’s at the door had other plans. Getting up in annoyance, I threw a bathrobe on and marched to the living room angri
Gwen. A week has passed and I felt more and more stressed. Going to work, taking care of the kids, and having to study almost every day was taking a huge toll on me. And then I have to appear on the news more often than I thought so the whole world knows about me being the heiress of the Mars family. It was frightening and at the same time exciting for me, I have always liked to live a low-profile life—where no one knows who I am when I enter a place. But I don’t think I can have that life now that everyone knows about me in the business world. My apartment, the one place I thought would be a better home for me wasn’t that safe for me. The place wasn’t too heavily guarded—one of the reasons I love the area but with the reporters trying to get into my personal space, father had to employ some guards for me. So now anywhere I am going, a guard must accompany me which was both exhausting and embarrassing. I was so tired that I kept on postponing the dinner date I had with Ryan, it wa
Gwen. Ryan looked totally different from the other times we had met before. He looked mightily different and fine if I may add. “You are so beautiful,” he whispered, staring at me like he was seeing me for the first time. I blushed, “thank you,” I took my eyes down. He clears his throat, “Good evening my lady. These are for you,” I brought my head up and took the red roses from him. I sniffed the roses and was immediately calmed by their scent. This was the first time I was getting flowers in years, I had never gotten one from Henry while we were married so I had to cherish this. “Thank you,” I whispered with my eyes still glued to the flowers. “Let me put them in water then we can leave,” I told him and turned around heading to the kitchen. After putting the flowers in a vase, I went outside. “You look beautiful Gwen,” he says again as we rode out of my place. Jeez, he should stop making me blush. I don’t do well with compliments, especially from handsome men. I looked at
Gwen. Ryan looked hurt by what I said but god whatever he is thinking isn’t what I’m talking about. “Please don’t take this wrongly Ryan,” I begged. I sounded like a whining child right now. I know I wasn’t supposed to feel this way, like this guilt of being with another man even though I had divorced my scumbag husband but I couldn’t help it. At times this all feels like a dream to me and I want to wake up. Ryan shifts in his seat,“I’m sorry. I didn’t care to ask, I assumed this is the kind of place you would love to come to,” he said looking apologetic making me feel worse than I was before. “It’s a beautiful place Ryan, but I think I would be more comfortable in a quiet and nice place,” I said hoping I hadn’t offended him. This place was perfect and though nobody had noticed me yet, I still felt like there were eyes on my body. I wanted to come to this dinner, but nobody forced me. I was ready to move on from Henry, but it was way harder than I thought. Herny was my first e
Gwen. I froze in my place for a while, all I did was blink and feel his lips that was moving on mine. I wanted to push him off me and tell him what he was doing was wrong but I could not do that, I knew doing that would hurt Ryan’s feelings and I didn’t want that. So I did nothing, I only stood there and let him kiss me but when the picture of Henry with his mistress flashed in my head, I knew I wanted this. I wanted to forget him and the only way to do that was by doing this. By going out with someone who would want me and someone who would always be there for me. So I gave in, I wrapped my hands around his neck and let him kiss me. I kissed him back, Ryan was kissing me with so much need that almost brought me down to my knees. He knows what he’s doing, I haven’t had someone kiss me this senseless for a while. Ryan wrapped his hand around my waist bringing me closer to his hard chest, he didn’t break the kiss and I could feel myself getting short of breath. “God, Gwen,” he gro
