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
LEAH’S POV"It seems like we haven't made our intentions clear to you." Hudson’s voice carried a low, dangerous tone, almost a growl.But… how could it be? Why are they suddenly saying this to me?“What do you… mean?” I chuckled nervously, avoiding their gaze. “I’m just stating the fact. Though our companies are in partnership, the issue was within our own premises…”“Stop it,” Brixton snapped at me, and I slightly jumped off my seat. Seeing my reaction, I somehow witnessed how his gaze softened, but his eyes remained serious.“You know that this isn’t just about business matters.”My heart raced, the dread slowly consuming me. They both wore serious expressions on their faces, and I felt like a criminal under their scrutiny.“Haven’t we made it clear enough?” Brixton continued speaking, his expression somehow unreadable. "You keep asking us what we want, but you knew clearly what we wanted in the first place.”I stilled on my spot. Hearing those words come out of his mouth made me fe
LEAH’S POVThe next day, I feel like I was not on my proper state of mind. Hudson and Brixton’s words last night seem to keep echoing in the back of my mind, constantly reminding me that they were serious about uncovering the truth. And that scared me more than anything else.Despite having the relief that somehow, I manage to come up with an excuse and finally drawn a line between us, it left me feeling even more troubled instead.After sending the kids to school, I drove to the company in a somewhat absentminded look. The anxiety in me kept growing each minute that passes, and I know I can’t keep this bottled up any longer or else I’ll definitely grow paranoid.The thing I needed the most right now was some advice, and there was only one person I could turn to – Marina.“You look pale! Is everything alright?” Marina’s concerned voice greeted me as soon as I walked inside her office.With heavy steps, I finally manage to sit on the couch across from her table with a dejected look on m
THIRD PERSON’S POVTWO MONTHS LATERIt was a holiday at school, so the triplets found themselves at home with the whole day ahead of the. Their mom, Leah, had left for work early in the morning, leaving them at home and trusting them to be well-behaved. The triplets were obedient and assured their mom that they would stay home and be responsible. So far, they were keeping that promise.Calvin was nestled on a single sofa, holding a thick biology book in his hands. His handsome little face looks serious – his brows furrowing in concentration as he absorbed every detail from the pages.Across the room, Clyde was sprawled on the floor, his sketch pad open in front of him. He was busy drawing a detailed image of spaceship flying through the stars. Meanwhile, Bella was sitting on the couch watching her favorite TV show. She was wearing a cute bunny headband which made her pretty little face even more endearing. Her large eyes were glued to the screen while she occasionally giggle at someth
