Emily. Every single time, whenever Ian speaks about wanting his son, the child we both had together I always feel there’s something behind it. He wouldn’t just show up to ask for his child….someone he hasn’t asked for in years if he didn’t want anything. I looked at him to be sure he was serious about what just said, but he looked serious. Standing in front of me with his hands tucked in his pockets, his eyes staring into my soul I knew that he was serious. “Are you even listening to me?” He asked and all I could was nod. “Yes, you said something about taking the case to court?” He nodded. “What case exactly?” I asked. “I need to gain parental rights to my child Emily, he’s biologically mine and I have every right to get my child back from them,” he explained. “Have you ever wondered if that child wants to stay with any of us?” “Have you ever wondered if what he wants is to stay far away from us? Stay away from our horrible lifestyle?” I asked as I got up from the bed. If we

Henry.I stirred awake but not fully and rolled to my side intending to wrap my arms around the love of my life. But to my biggest surprise, the bed beside me was empty, I snapped my eyes open.Gwen wasn’t sleeping beside me, I rolled my back and looked around the room but she wasn’t anywhere.“Gwen,” I called but got no answer.I quickly took the bedsheet from my body and walked to the bathroom hoping she would be in there, but when I opened the door and couldn’t see her that’s when the panic began.“Gwen, baby,” I called again but got no answer.I rushed out of the room and searched for her everywhere. I kept calling for her but I got no reply.Nothing happened, she’s fine. She’s fine, I kept telling myself that as I searched from room to room.This place is secured and I have tight security around it, no one is allowed inside until I give consent and no one is sent out without me knowing.I made my way to the porch with my heart beating so loud that I could hear it. I heard low gig

Emily.It was another day in the hospital, another day that I had to count the days remaining for me to stay in this place.I don’t want to leave, to be honest, I want to keep staying in the hospital even though I’m fully healed. I don’t care if I had to hurt myself to stay here, all I care about is that I’m not returning to that cell.Knock.The door opened and someone walked in before I could even say ‘Come in’, I didn't need anyone to tell me who that person was.“How are you feeling today, Miss Emily?” She asked as she walked toward my bed.“I’m not feeling too good doctor,”“I’m not feeling too good doctor,” we both said simultaneously and my cheeks reddened.“I’ve heard you say that for the whole week Emily, and yet after a series of tests on you I still won’t be able to find anything wrong with you,” she added with that same annoying smile on her face.“I’m not fine, doctor, you are not the owner of my body so you can’t possibly know that,” I huffed.She chuckled softly, “Where

Gwen.I had thought Emily being here would mean we are not getting Jason. I had thought she was in cahoots with the bastard Ian since they both know each other but never for once did I think she was going to backstab Ian.When she was called out, I could hear my heart beating so fast, I knew her words….whatever she was going to say would determine who Jason would stay with. I know that they are his real parents but I don’t want him to leave me.“Ian never wanted the child. He abused me while I was pregnant with the intent of losing the child. I wanted to keep the child because at that time I loved Ian and would do anything for him but he definitely didn’t think that way. He didn’t even care while I was in labor and not even after the child was born.” She paused and took in a deep breath.“I didn’t want to do it, I didn’t want to leave him in the streets but I had no other choice. Ian doesn’t want him and I’m all alone, there’s no way I could possibly raise him,” she sniffed and wiped

Henry.I didn’t want her to talk with Emily or get close to her for any reason but knowing Gwen with her kind heart and how stubborn she is I knew I couldn’t convince her not to.Jason and I stayed inside the car in silence. All my attention was on Gwen who was speaking with Emily outside, I wouldn’t hesitate to act rashly if she did anything to Gwen.“Is it true?” Jason’s voice pulled me out of my head.I looked at him through the rearview mirror, “that?”“Is what that lady said true—the one that claims she’s not my mother?” He asked and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me he was talking about Emily.“What did she say?” But before he could answer I cut in.“And she is your mother, your biological mother. The one who gave birth to…”“I know what it means,” he cut in.Why wouldn’t he, he was too smart for his age.“Right, so what did your mother say?” I asked, causing him to pout his lips. I think he didn’t like that I called Emily his mother, but that’s the truth and nothing is goin
