CHAPTER 43

M I R A N D A

Hugo sighs heavily as he holds the back of his neck with his hand as soon as he peeled his eyes away from mine.

“Where is he?” I ask him, still holding onto his shirt.

"We'll be there." I hear Hugo responding to Landon and he hangs up the next second.

I held on to his sleeve with both hands as I asked, "Hugo? What's wrong?" I ask him intensively because his eyes looked incredibly in complete despair and sadness.

"Hugo." I pull his sleeve again while he sighs heavily trying to run his hands over his face and his eyes as he groans under his throat.

“What is it?!” I pulled harder.

Hugo slowly move his head to me and looked into my eyes with knitted brows and tears flooding behind his eyelids.

"W-What's the matter?" I ask worriedly. “Why are you looking at me like that?” I ask again as I clenched harder onto his sleeve but he is not answering me. “What?!”

He shakes his head as he tries to breathe in and out. "I can't believe this." He mutters to himself as he push

Landon didn't want to leave at first because he was too mad at them for what they have done to Hugo but I persuaded him not to do anything and that we just leave. Ridge’s guy blocked the entrance and…” He groans as he wipes his tears with his hands.He curses under his breath as he whimpers, “Everything just went too fast. Ridge forced us to follow him to the backdoor exit and we did. I did. I forced Landon to go with me because I was mad at Ridge when he mentioned about Paris’ OD. I got blinded by my anger and followed Ridge and Landon was stopping me. Ridge was taunting Landon that his men will come to your house and someone would hurt you." Zachary explains as his voice continues to tremble.That's why he's been texting me to lock the doors and to keep the kids safe with me. Oh my goodness Landon.

I assured him."Can Bethany and I go with you to the hospital mommy?" He asks sweetly. “I want to see dad.”"Benny, I would love to take you with me but kids like you aren't allowed to go upstairs where daddy Landon is."He sighs."Don't worry, okay baby?" I cup his cheek.He nods."Once daddy Landon will wake up, I'll call you right away. How 'bout that?" I cooed and pinched his cheek gently."Okay mommy."I kissed Ben's forehead then Hugo kissed him goodbye too as he stands right next to us. I gazed at the window and there were paps waiting for us to say something about what has been going on but I don’t really don’t know what to tell them. The media have found out about what happened to Landon and the world just wanted to know why it happened, how it happened, when it happened and who did it."Bags are packed?" Hug

    CHAPTER 47M I R A N D AWhen Landon was discharged from the hospital after a few days he woke up, Ben was very happy to see him again. He kept on hugging Landon all the time and told him what foods he ate when Landon wasn't around. He asked if Landon was already feeling better and that he needed to rest more. He asked what happened to him and what happened to his arm. He asked so many things that just made me realize how worried he must have been for his daddy Landon.Ben even told Landon about the bedtime stories that he heard from aunt Jo, Lottie and Felicite. He also told Landon that he had seen his baby pictures and how he adored Landon when he was a child. I saw how Ben cares a lot for Landon the same way he treats Ben as his very own son."Ben." I call out to him as I stand by the threshold.Ben pops his head up from the bedtime storybooks that he has been reading with Landon."Your daddy Landon is already tired. Why don't you go to bed now sweetheart?" I say as I enter our mas

Thank you."My brows creasing, "Where in hell are you?""I arrived in Germany yesterday morning because I was suppose to meet with some people related to work today.""Oh. I see. You've been really busy." I replied in a soft voice."Yes. Kind of. But I'm on my way to the airport right now since you told me that Ben's worrying about my absence, I'm coming back home for the three of you." He states those words seriously.And my heart swells in a split second."But you said you had some people needed to meet with?" I asked."They can wait." He says reassuringly."No, Hugo.” I answered firmly. “You have to go back and meet those people.

I hope you and the kids will have fun with Hugo tonight :) I'll try to catch up if I can. I love you. xxI reread Landon's text as I sit on Hugo's passenger seat while we are on our way to the art exhibit. Bethany was on her carrier while Ben was next to her in the backseat. It was our first ever family date together and I'm a bit nervous to be honest. I know that I don't need to be worried about this because I've got Landon's consent, yet I'm worried about what the people are going to say when they'll see me with Hugo. I know how the people's doubtful minds go and how those gossipy mouths will say about this.I reminded myself not to get distracted about the issues that will come tomorrow as long as Ben will enjoy his time spent with his father, that is all that matters to me and nothing else. Also, it would totally matter if Hugo will also spend time with his kid

He got the £10,000 worth of painting and talked to the event coordinator who mentioned that he will send it first thing in the morning. Hugo talked to Mr. Hawkins for a while and I think they exchanged a very healthy conversation filled with thank yous and all that.Hugo smiles at me. "What's with the long face?"I haven't even noticed that if he didn't mention it to me. "I'm fine. I'm just surprised that you bought that painting." I answered softly.From the corner of my eyes, I see Melody walking up towards where we were and I swear to God she has been annoying the hell out of the entire night. And I on the other hand, feel myself being so petty for even being this childish.But in the back of my head, I hate that she's clearly very happy about what just happened today especially about the painting that Hugo bought.

But I try to stop myself from thinking like that, because I don’t need to make another mistake against Landon. Just thinking about it is even a sin.My heart is really hurting right now from those words that Hugo said to me it's because I wanna do those things with him too even though I have Landon. I wanna be with him as well as much as he wants to be with me. My heart is yearning for him. My heart is really cluttered. My heart is really messed up.Sometimes I love him and there are times that I force myself to forget about what I feel for him but I still think about him.

    87 T H E A Sebastian committed suicide. He ended his own life with a gun in his head. No one even knew how he had a gun in the first place and no one had any idea he was going to do that. He was supposed to meet Ben and the others tomorrow for a reunion. He was supposed to live a new life after being sentenced in prison for seven years. He was supposed to live in a tropical place and start a new life for himself. He was supposed to live a life filled with dreams now that he is out in prison. Sebastian was supposed to live. I was supposed to forgive him. The autopsy report stated that it happened around twelve midnight which means just a few hours after he left our home. I have never felt so depressed in my entire life that I wasn't even able to tell him a lot of things that I wanted to say. I didnt know what I was exactly feeling, completely lost in my thoughts and emotions after Sebastian's passing. I knew that there was something wrong in his eyes when he talked to me becaus

    86T H E A"How have you been?" He asks.Sebastian wore blue, white and light pink plaided top, a pair of faded jeans and a dirty white sneakers. He looked older than the last time I saw him and his hair has gotten longer too. He looked different, but those eyes still frightens me.Those merciless eyes.I couldn't stare at him longer and I had to look away from his gaze. I clear my throat, "I have been well." I answered."I'm really glad that you are." Sebastian tells me."Um, do you want to drink something Sebastian? Tea?" Ben offers.I quickly held his wrist, stopping him from leaving me alone in here and stared into his eyes as I said to him. "Please don't leave me here."Ben stares intently at me before he turns to Sebastian who speaks, "You dont really have to offer me anything."I bite my inner cheek and breathe in some confidence before I faced Sebastian. "What are you doing here?"Sebastian stares at me eagerly."What do you want?" I asked firmly."I came here to see if you ha

    85T H E AI couldn't sleep the entire night as I was bothered about Sebastian's release happening in just a few hours.Thoughts were filling and piling inside my head one over the other and I don't know if this was going to let me sleep at all.So I slipped out of the bed where Ben was sleeping soundly and headed out of bedroom to get myself a glass of wine from downstairs. I hate myself when I turn to alcohol every time my thoughts are fogged up and fucked up. I hate when there are questions left unanswered and my solution is alcohol.I hated it.I hated it so much I hate myself too.I finished two glasses of wine and spent almost thirty minutes just sitting on a chair where I tried to drown and sort my troubled thoughts. I finally pulled myself up and headed back to my bedroom only until I saw Xavier heading out of his room, crying. I rushed to his side and wished that he wouldn't smell the stingy scent of alcohol from my breath."Xavier." I cooed. "What happened?""Mommy I had a n

    84T H E A“Why didn’t you tell him?”Benedict's question still lingers in my mind.Why didn't I tell Sebastian back in the day?I have been asking myself that same question over and over again for the past couple of years. I used to tell myself that I wasn't ready and I know I wasn't ready. I lied to myself when I said I was ready to confess to him about our child but I was absentmindedly denying the fact that my mind was filled with so many thoughts as soon as I faced Sebastian.When I saw him, I was reminded of how he raped me mercilessly. When I saw him, I was reminded of how dirty of a woman I was. When I saw him, I was reminded of how I didn't want this baby to be born if only it hadn't been for Ben.Ben has always been my rock and my strength after everything that happened to me. All these years, he accepted me no matter what and I have been beyond blessed to have a man like that in my life.That kind of love and care he showed me is going to be something I didn't want to waste

    83T H E AI stare at my own reflection in front of the mirror, I gained weight but I look different compared to the old me a few weeks ago. My eyes travelled down to my baby bump and as I turn to my side, I feel more anxiety building in the back of my head. I am not confident enough that I will be a good mother to this baby once it’s out when I know this baby came from a man who I trusted so much but just raped me. My bump is starting to show now and I know I have a lifelong responsibility waiting ahead of me. I just hope I will be responsible enough.I rub my hand over my small tummy then smiled at myself.“You will be fine.” I told my baby.Ben is here for me and for us. He always has. He made everything feel better. He made me better and happier without asking too much in return. He is a very selfless man and I owe him my life. My everything and all that I have left.I breathe out heavily and tucked my hair behind my ears as I stare at myself wearing this white dress and white ba

I know she still has a lot of things in mind with what has happened lately and I’m sure she’s tired of thinking about it too. She has talked to Khaleel and I have had talked to him too. Despite her past, we wanted to keep it to ourselves than letting the others know about it. They wouldn’t understand what she went through to survive and it isn’t our story to tell.I have asked myself a couple of times why she had to choose such job but then I didn’t have the courage to ask her. I don’t want her to feel bad about herself and the more I ask about her past, the more she would think it bothers me.Honestly, it has been in the past and we all have had done crazy shit a thing or two.
