Noelle Five years later“I think you should get going.’’ I muttered with a sullen look on my face as I pushed Liam aside. He was trying to kiss me and I pushed him away. Why? Because I was seriously not in the mood for kisses and it was not the first time this was happening between us. Since we became engaged three months ago, it always ended with pecks. Pecks that always made me feel uncomfortable.It was definitely a normal thing for couples to make out and all, but I was not feeling it. And Liam had been trying to act patient with me. I guessed he’d had to wait until forever, because I didn't see myself kissing another man.“Really, Noelle. I just came here. I came running here the moment your father told me you were around and you’re asking me to leave.’’ There was disbelief in his voice as he spoke, but I really didn’t care. And my parents had to stop. They felt engaging me with another man would bring me happiness, but it only made me feel worse. I did not need a man in my life
Noelle “Hey, girls.” A genuine smile played on my lips the moment I arrived downstairs. The girls were with my mother and they seemed to be arguing about something, yarns of wool were scattered all over.I love my kids so very much, they were the only reason I kept living. I would have given up long ago after what happened to Malcolm and Jamie, but I kept on going. For them.“Mommy!!!” They both squealed in unison the moment they saw me as they ran to hug me. They wore matching dresses and shoes. I raised the girls like twins and to anyone who cared to know, I had twins not triplets. I couldn't even see myself talking to anyone about that older brother who had been marked dead.“How are you?” I smiled, crouching down to plant kisses on each of their foreheads. Their brown curls bounced as they moved. The girls reminded me so much of Malcolm, from their hair colour to their eye colour. They looked so much like their father and every day, I cried. Because they reminded me so much of Ma
Malcolm I take slow sips from my drink as I stare out the window. Just after I settle my cup back down on the table, a slight knock comes on my door and Kai walks in. I’ve been expecting him to come.“You’re here.” I announced, stating the obvious. “Daddy!!” I heard a tiny voice squeal behind him. I shot a hard glare at Kai as I quickly extinguished my cigarette in the ashtray. Thankfully, the smell of the cigarette was not too much as the window was happy.“Hey!! My little man.” A genuine smile played on my lips as Jamie appeared from behind Kai as he ran to hug me tight.“Yes we're here.” he drew out the moment I carried Jamie in my arms.“Daddy!! Uncle Kai took me out!!” He informed me immediately I carried him. There was a happy smile on his face and I could tell he really had a good time wherever Kai took him to.“That's so nice. Where did he take you to?” I couldn't help but ask. Jamie was like my gist buddy aside from Kai. We couldn't both sit for hours and he would tell me t
Malcolm “Just shut the fuck up Kai.” I bit out in anger as I fought the urge to walk up to him and land a heavy blow on that face of his.“Why should I?” He challenged. “Poor Jamie needs his mother and sisters. You can keep hiding him. You can keep hiding him from his siblings. You can keep hiding from your wife?”“I've been doing that.” I mumbled under my breath. I felt the urge to pick up my cigarette to start smoking, but there was a high chance of Jamie running in through that door, so I held myself back. I didn't want my little boy to catch me smoking. He'd start asking questions that he was too young to ask. “Do you think you can do that?” He scoffed. “You have a family Malcolm. You have children. Are you just going to abandon the girls?” “They are both fine. Same with their mother. They are all happy and that's fine with me.” I said casually. The fact that I had been away from Noelle and the girls did not mean I had no idea how they were all dating. Brienne and Remielle were
Noelle“Come on girls.’’ I said to the girls as I ushered them out of the dining room. They just finished having breakfast and we would soon leave to go to the toy shop. Like I promised them, I was going to take them to the place just like I promised. “Okay, mommy!!” They both said gingerly in unison as they ran to the sitting room. I smiled bitterly as I arrived in the sitting room that had held so many memories. Everything around me reminded me of Malcolm. And as much as it hurt remembering him almost every day, I just couldn’t get rid of his memories. Everything was still the same. I stayed in our room and sometimes stayed with the girls in the room that Malcolm and I decorated for them when they were still in my room. The only room that has remained locked, was that of my son, Jamie. It was just the same. Just like Malcolm and I had decorated for him. I made sure not to throw anything out and I also cleaned the room whenever it got dusty."Let's go." I said to Brienne and Remiel
NoelleJamie? His name is Jamie. My eyes narrowed as I managed to snap out of my trance state, taking another good look at the little boy. He looked and felt too familiar and hearing that his name was Jamie sparked up a newfound hope inside me.“Where's your-” My voice trailed off the moment I heard the voice of a person I had been dying to see for the past five years.“Jamie?” A man appeared, walking out from the corner of one of the shelves and my heart literally cut the moment I saw him. Malcolm? I couldn't fucking breathe as I stated in disbelief. It was Malcolm and though he looked so different, I knew he was my husband. I felt my eyes fill with tears as I just stood unmoving. Malcolm was alive, my Jamie was alive.He hadn't seen me yet as he kept his gaze on Jamie just when he came. “Where have you been little man? Have you collected what you want?” That voice. What the fucking hell!! Malcolm was alive.“Mal… Colm..” I stammered my voice barely audible as tears streamed down my
Noelle Everything went smoothly just like I had prayed for it to go. The kids bonded and they seemed so happy to meet each other. I knew a lot of questions were going to come from all of them, but I'd deal with it.Jamie had been calling me mommy and he looked so happy after Malcolm told him yet again that I was his mother. The girls had hugged Malcolm happily and he just stood unmoving. Once I settled things with the kids, we were going to have a one-on-one chat.They both of us haven't exchanged any words. He only spoke to the kids from time to time and they were both happy around him as they kept asking questions on why he cut his hair and all. I knew Malcolm did not expect to meet me or the girls but once he did, there was no running away or escaping again.“Daddy, where have you been??” Remi asked as she plunged her hands around her father's neck as we all walked to the counter to pay for the toys we got. She requested that he carry her, and he did.“Um..well..i..”“Your father
Malcolm Everything was happening so fast in just a day. How did I fucking run into her? I had been making sure to be very careful. Then how? Just how? And I can't even say anything. I knew Noelle well enough to know how stubborn she was, she wouldn't listen. She never listened and she had seen Jamie, she was not going to let him go and I definitely had a lot of explaining to do. Where would I even start from?This was definitely going to be harder than I thought. Jamie had been asking after his mother as Kai had implanted that thought in him that his mother was going to come someday. I knew he felt so happy when noelle said she was his son and I also agreed to that Dave and the girl? They seemed to know me already. Which only meant Noelle had been telling both girls about Jamie and me.The kids accepted everything so quickly. It was their first time meeting. But they were already behaving like they'd known each other for years, based on the way they'd been chattering in the back seat
NoelleAfter the storms and struggles, the pieces of life fall into place, proof that every hardship was shaping a beautiful ending. Many days had passed after the incident with Liam and my family had never been happier.Liam had been sentenced to life imprisonment and my parents had finally accepted Malcolm wholeheartedly. After countless attempts, he got to apologize to them and they happily welcomed him back into the family.Everything that had happened had brought Malcolm and me even closer and it felt like a dream come true. I couldn’t explain how happy he made me feel and how much my life had changed for the better since he came back.My heart was full and I felt overwhelmed with love and warmth as I thought about how beautiful my life had been. Malcolm came with a transformation that left every fibre of my being vibrating with happiness and a sense of accomplishment.Every day was a new and beautiful beginning with him and I felt like the luckiest woman and mother on earth. He
MalcolmAll my anger washed away as her soft lips came in contact with mine. The world around us seemed to have faded away as I wrapped my arms tighter around her and lost myself in the intimacy of the moment.Our lips were moving slowly and sensually as we tried to portray the love and deep affection we had for each other. My eyes closed in pure bliss as I ran my hands up and down her back as our lips moved in sync.Her hands gently cupped the back of my neck as her soft fingers were tangled in my hair. Our tongues entwined and she let out a soft moan as she tugged at my hair strands.I felt my whole body igniting with a fire like never before as she trailed her hands from my neck down to my chest and rested it upon my wildly beating heart.It felt like I was drowning in her as my chest heaved up and down and I reluctantly pulled away so we could both take in air.Noelle gasped as she stared into my dilated eyes and I smirked as I started to place kisses on her neck. She moaned when
Malcolm I was scared. Scared was an understatement. I was terrified. My nerves were all over the place as I looked at the broken-down building standing before me.My heart raced and anxious thoughts filled my mind as I looked at Noelle’s parked car. My chest was heaving as I closed my eyes and tried to control my emotions.I felt a rush of adrenaline as I took determined steps towards the house. I hoped that they were okay.I don’t think I would be able to survive if anything happened to my wife or children. They were my lifelines, the only reason why I’m living and breathing.I was nothing without my family and I prayed to any god out there to help me save them. I took cautious steps to the door along with the guards following me and I tightened my hold around the gun I was holding when I got to the door. It was open and my nose twitched when the scent of my family washed over my senses.My eyes glazed over as I felt an intense feeling of anger and rage. I slowly pushed the door ope
NoelleRelief flooded me as I looked up and saw Malcolm. His face was void of any emotion and only his eyes gave him away. He had a murderous look in his eyes as he lowered the gun. I should be scared but I have never felt more safe. It felt like that was the first time I was seeing him. It felt like all my fears had been erased and I could finally breathe. I stepped away from Liam and the priest immediately took the opportunity to run. He dashed for the door but an angry Malcom pulled him by the collar and gave him a thunderous slap.His eyes were intensely burning with rage, frustration and anger. His jaw was tight and his lips were pressed into a thin line as he clenched his fist and punched the priest.He doubled over in pain and Malcolm kept hitting him. I could feel the rage in each blow.“Please spare me!” The man pleaded in a broken voice as blood poured out of his broken nose.“Did you listen when my wife and children were begging? Did you spare them!” Malcolm growled out an
Noelle It felt like I was trapped in my worst nightmare and Liam started to jump happily. “Yes! I knew you would agree.” He smiled as he pulled me up to my feet and my skin felt like it was crawling when he touched me. I felt disgusted by his touch and I pulled my hands away from his. He gave an annoyed glare and not a minute later a man dressed like a pack elder walked into the room. My eyes widened as he walked up to us with the pack’s holy book in his hands and a box of wedding rings. “Liam, please you can’t do this. This is wrong. I'm already married and I do not accept this marriage you are trying to force on me just let my kids go and I’ll forget this whole thing ever happened.” He gave me an unimpressed stare and gestured for the pack elder to come forward. “Liam please this is not you. You know as well as I do that this is not right! Please listen to me, let’s talk about this.” I pleaded desperately as the reality that I would be forcefully married dawned on me. I can’t a
NoelleMy phone had been ringing continuously as I sped to the address that Liam had sent.My parents have called over a dozen times and Malcolm has also been calling relentlessly. It felt as though they knew I was about to do something reckless but I can’t help it.My children meant the world to me and there was no way I would be able to put my safety before theirs.I drove like a maniac breaking every traffic rule and not long I pulled up to a house in the middle of nowhere. I looked at the map displayed on my car screen and it showed that I was in the right place.I got out of the car and I was greeted by the smell of damp wood and the sound of birds chirping. The whole place looked deserted and the house looked like it was being swallowed by the forest.The wooden door looked like it was bent out of shape by years of rain and neglect and the paint was chipping off the walls and being replaced by ivy and moss.I felt anxious as I thought about how uncomfortable it must be for my ch
Noelle “The kids have been taken by Liam.” Fear immediately gripped me as my hands started to tremble. I didn’t know when the phone slipped from my hands and fell on the marble floor.Time seemed to have slowed down as my mind started racing. I couldn’t believe it. A few hours ago I happily dropped my kids off. How could they suddenly be missing? Cold sweat started to form on my forehead and my hands were shaking badly at this point.My breath was coming out in short pants and my heart was pounding unevenly as my vision started to get blurry. My whole body felt weak and my legs gave up as I fell. The kids have been taken by LiamI was caught between the urge to scream like a mad woman and the silence of my despair. My lips trembled as tears rolled down my face. My heart felt like it was being stabbed continuously and I clutched my chest as I tried to easethe pain but the memories of my kid's happy smiles kept replaying in my head.My children, my joy and my pride had been taken awa
MalcolmI felt like I was losing my mind as I ran to my car and sat in the driver's seat. I placed my head on the steering wheel and I could feel the anger and fear brewing within me.I was scared for my kids. Why will he take them away? If he was missing them he could have simply stopped by so why did he take my kids away?I knew he treated them right when I was away so why would he suddenly do such a thing? I didn’t have time to think about all this. I was scared. What if he decided to hurt my children to get back at me for destroying his engagement with Noelle?I closed my eyes as I took deep breaths to get back my bearings. I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled Kai’s number.My hand was balled into a fist as I angrily tapped my feet while waiting for him to pick up. I could feel how tense my shoulders were and I knew my face wasn't any different.“Hey big guy, finally got my time huh..” Kai teased in a cheerful voice.“Kai my kids.” My voice was thick with emotion as I trie
Malcolm“Do you have to go? You know how much I hate being far away from you.” I whined and Noelle rolled her eyes at my dramatic antics as she grabbed her purse and stood up.“You big baby stop whining like a child. I will only be gone for a few hours and the kids will be here to keep you company. You will be so tired dealing with them that you won’t have time to miss me.” I groaned and pulled her into my arms. Her soft boobs were pressed against my chest and I felt tempted to press my face into her cleavage.“More reason why I don’t want you gone Mon Fleur, without you hear they will drive me crazy with their requests and you know I can’t say no to their demands.” She smiled as she wrapped her arms around my neck and placed a kiss on each of my cheeks.“And you need to work on that. Practice saying no while I’m away okay?” She said with a wide smile on her face and I couldn’t take my eyes away from her face.Her smile has a way of making my thought process come to a stop and she kne
