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
THIRD PERSON’S POVBrixton and Hudson sat inside their private office. The atmosphere inside was thick, and the weight of the situation was pressing heavily on their shoulders.There was another man inside the room, wearing a formal suit and holding a suitcase in his hand.“I want you to investigate everything about her…” Hudson spoke in a serious tone with his brows furrowing. “Including the kids.”“We need the results as soon as possible.” Brixton also demanded, his fingers tapping on the swivel chair’s armrest. There was a hint of frustration and impatience in his eyes.“For this matter, the fastest time I can promise is within a week. It’s quite a complex case.” The investigator spoke, his tone was cautious, probably because noticing the current mood of the twins right now.“Just make sure you find ‘everything’.” Hudson emphasized as pursed his lips.When the investigator left, Brixton sighed. The look on his face was a mix of frustration and confusion.“I can’t believe this.” He
LEAH’S POV“We’re trusting you on these matters.”I responded in acknowledgement before the call finally ended. A sigh escaped my lips afterwards. Our director just called and informed me that my attendance was a must for the conference that will be held later on 6 p.m. at The Finance.It was all about handling the final negotiations regarding our project, and I was entrusted to ensure that everything is settled.What a great timing, right?I shut my eyes tight. Just as when I still didn’t want to come face to face with Hudson and Brixton, I had to face an order that I can’t say no to. Time passed by really quick, and the hour I’ve been dreading for finally came. Upon arriving at the company, I was immediately greeted by a familiar man. It was Hudson’s secretary.“My name is Clayton. Please follow me, Ms. Knights.” He ushered and led me to an unknown corridor that was still on the ground floor.The lights around were dim, and the path we were taking felt like it was leading to an un
