LEAH’S POV“Do you think he could be our daddy?”Seeing the curious and expectant look on my son’s face made my heart clench. I felt like I have been poured cold water all over, realizing that it was either Brixton or Hudson whom he just met and was pertaining to.“Darling…” I struggled to find the right words. Even I, myself, doesn’t know the real answer. Although I knew that I was one step closer to the truth, there was still a barrier that keeps me from confirming it.“It’s all just a coincidence, baby.” I finally spoke after a few seconds, not wanting my son to notice the complicated look on my face.But his serious gaze told me he wasn’t entirely convinced. He was such a smart boy and so perceptive for his age that I could literally see the wheels turning in his mind.“But, mommy, he really looked like us,” Calvin persisted softly with a quiet assurance in his voice. “His eyes are even green, just like Bella’s!”I was growing nervous. He could even notice such details in such a s
LEAH’S POVHudson and Brixton’s arrival attracted the attention of all people inside the hall. Their presence commanded attention effortlessly. My eyes landed on their tall figures, and I felt my breath hitched. Their striking features were like God’s work of art, drawing all eyes towards them.But then, I had to gather my composure. ‘Get a grip of yourself, Leah! How many times do you have to get distracted by their presence?’For a brief moment, I thought I saw them glance in my direction and my heart started to race. I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me as I quickly turned away.“Such fine-looking men.” Jane sighs in a dreamy tone. I didn’t bother reacting to the look she was throwing at me as I tried to mingle into the crowd of my colleagues, trying to disappear from the twin’s radar.I couldn’t afford to be seen by them. Not tonight.I mingled with the crowd and engaged with in small talk with people I knew, laughing from time to time even at the jokes I barely heard. It was my
LEAH’S POVHudson stood few feet away from me, his intense gaze fixed on my figure. At that moment, I felt a jolt of panic.Why is he here?!“Huds – Mr. Alistaire…” I took a step back in unease.But then I saw how his eyes flashed when he noticed how I just addressed him.“We need to talk.”His tone was firm, not beating around the bush but it only made me confused and nervous.“Tonight’s a company celebration, but I think it’s not very convenient to talk about work matters at this hour.” I cleared my throat and avoided his gaze. The pain and bitterness from earlier when I saw them with Melanie came crushing back inside my chest.I knew it was quite petty, but I can’t stop myself from feeling this way.“Yeah?” His voice sounded serious, but I could hint a bit of sarcasm from it.“Or you’re just avoiding us.”It wasn’t a question. His words sounded so firm and commanding that it made me shiver.“I don’t know what you mean.”“Look at me,” His deep voice penetrated my ears. It made my he
LEAH’S POVMy hands were shaking that my phone almost fell from my hand. But then I was still driving at that moment and my eyes widened in panic when I noticed that my car almost crashed into another car. I immediately stepped on the brakes, feeling my heart pounding wildly in my chest.Luckily, I didn’t crash with the other car. I stopped driving in the middle of the road, feeling completely shaken. I stared down at my phone and blinked, but the text message still remained on the screen, proving that I wasn’t just seeing some things.I felt like a bucket of cold water was poured all over my body.But who could know about the triplets? Only a few people in our company knew that I have children. I didn’t intend to hide the fact that I gave birth to triplets, but all these years, I wanted to have peace. I planned to stay lowkey for the sake of my babies.But now, someone’s claiming to know my secrets. Judging from the text message, could he/she possibly know about Hudson and Brixton too
LEAH’S POVIn my dreams, I was pulled back to that fateful night five years ago. My memories were blurry and fragmented. That night, I remembered my body acting so odd and weird because I was drugged. My senses were muddled and my recollections of what happened were almost completely erased.Over these past few years, I didn’t remember a single thing that happened, but as I slipped deeper into the dream, I could see fragments of that night starting to reappear.I felt like I was being pulled back to experience the same exact thing that happened that night. I was entangled with the two strangers on the bed, our hot breaths mixing. The sensation they brought upon me was making me crazier as seconds went by… craving for their touch.The other man pulled my legs open, and my eyes met those familiar blue orbs staring at me intensely with need and desire.“Call me Hudson,” The familiar deep and commanding voice entered my ears, making my breath hitch. Then, the other man came closer to me to
LEAH’S POVEverything happened in a flash. The only thing I saw was Brixton’s fists that were relentlessly striking David. But just as I was relieved with his sudden arrival, I panicked once again.His punches were so powerful and precise that I could see blood spurting on David’s face. Despite my fear, I felt the sudden need to intervene. With his constant attack, Brixton might kill David if I don’t stop him now.My legs wobbled as I took a step forward, wanting to stop him but someone suddenly grabbed my arm from behind.“Let him handle it.”Hudson stood behind me, his hold in my arm steady. My heart raced, the helplessness washing all over my form.“But what if he…”I was worried about what might Brixton could do to David. Although David had done some evil things, I don’t want Brixton to take the matters into his own hands.Hudson saw through my concern. He gently pulled me towards him, closing the distance between us which made me heart pound faster.“Don’t worry, he knows what to
LEAH’S POV“David is sick!” Marina grumbled in disdain. “I didn’t know he was capable of doing this, you really got yourself into danger.”A sigh escaped my lips. The unnerving feeling still lingered on my nerves, and I couldn’t help but agree with her. The situation earlier with David was terrifying, and if not for Hudson and Brixton arriving to my rescue, I don’t even know what could’ve happened to me in the hands of David, and the thought of it sent shivers down my spine.“By the way, how did the Alistaire twins arrived at your rescue?” Marina spoke with a tone full of curiosity.“I don’t know…” I couldn’t find the right answers too. All I could remember was them appearing out of nowhere and it was Brixton who came attacking David after arriving at the scene.Was it all just a coincidence that they were present at the bar and saw how David tried to assault me? It was the only reason that could make sense.“Maybe, it’s just a coincidence. I think they were also at the bar and then sa
LEAH’S POV“She’s just our sister, Leah.”Seeing the amusement in Brixton’s eyes made me feel so embarrassed. I felt so foolish with my sudden assumptions, wishing the ground to swallow me up.“Oh, is that so…” I cleared my throat and avoided his gaze, trying to mask the shame. But then, I heard him chuckle again.“Will you go with us now?”My palms grew sweaty as I felt his hot, probing gaze on my face. I bet he was still wearing that amused smile. He always never misses an opportunity to tease me, and that realization made my cheeks burn.“I really need to go.”I desperately wanted to escape the situation. The events last night were still fresh on my memory. I remember them being mad and frustrated after I refused to tell them about my dealings with David. But now, Brixton seemed to have moved on from it. He was back at teasing me again and his demeanor suggests that all was forgiven or forgotten.However, I didn’t know if it was a good thing or not. I was unsure on how to feel about
