[Kaden]

"Tesoro?" My jaw clenched hard as the name that bastard called her rang in my ear. I walked to the other end of the hallway making my way into the restroom. My jaw clenched hard as I tried to recall where I had seen that dude. I fucking know I've met him somewhere but I just can't place my finger on it

My eyes darted to my watch and I checked the time, it was 9.30 pm. I pulled out my phone and placed a call to someone

"Boss!" Spider's voice boomed out from the other end

"Where are you?" I hissed as I stepped into the restroom banging the door shut

"I'm around, Boss!"

"Good, I need you to pull the surveillance footage from the first hallway leading to the restroom, from 9 pm to 9:30, send it to me immidiately,"

"On it Boss!" Spider stated firmly. I hung up and shoved my phone back into my pocket

I could swear that I'd seen his face somewhere, he looked oddly familiar!

I stared at my reflection one more time before making my way out and heading back to the ballroom

    [Matilda]"Just fucking tell me you're kidding!" Julia snapped as I told her everything that happened a few days back at the eventIt's been five days since the event but it still feels surreal seeing that asshole who I still can't keep out of my headI shook my head as we walked over to one of the seats in my bakery space. We have been trying to put everything together for hours now, and looking at how far we've gone, we needed a rest and a cup of coffee."I wasn't joking!" I walked over to the coffee machine and quickly made two cups of coffee before walking over to Julia's seat and handing her a cup of coffee. She took a quick sip of her coffee before dropping it."He must be insane to lay his filthy hands on you and say those stupid words, what was he thinking, that you're the same Tilda he used to humiliate back then?""I just hope we don't cross paths again, he's just an asshole as he has always been," my teeth gritted as every name Kaden called me last night rang in my earJu

    [Matilda]Aiden wasn't kidding when he said he wouldn't talk to any one. He has refused to even talk to me since he asked of his Daddy yesterday, always giving us one-word answer at a time. I had to plead with him to eat at least and once he's done he will tell me that he wants to go to his room. He's only five, so why does he act like an adult half the time?I took a deep breath, picking up the pancakes I made for them and two bottles of orange juice. It's one of their favorites, and I sincerely hope he will open up to me today I walked over to their room and slowly pushed the door open, only to find his face buried in his iPad as usual. Austin was on the bed with his eyes fixed on the painting board"Hey boys, can you guess what Mummy made?" My gaze shifted to Aiden, but he didn't even budge. Austin was already down from the bed, his lips curling into a smile as he looked up at me. "Mummy made pancakes!" I said and Aiden looked up from his iPad, his gaze shifting to the plate in m

    [Kaden]"You're saying you've seen his face somewhere but you can't recall?" Ryan asked me from the driver's seat, I nodded shifting my gaze toward him"Spider sent his information and I couldn't place where exactly I've seen him, but I have this feeling that I've met him somewhere, and not just met, I feel like we've crossed more than just paths,"Spider had given me full information on the guy a few days back and I found out that his name is Leo Smith and the CEO of Atlas Solution here in NYC and Miami, that was it, but no matter how I tried to push it aside, his face kept trying to ring a bell in my ear.Or maybe he looked like someone I used to know?"So, how did you feel about seeing her after six years, your ex-wife?" Mason chuckled from behind, jolting me from my thoughts."What is that supposed to mean? How exactly am I supposed to feel?" I asked, my eyes fixed on the window as I paid deaf ears to two of my best friends who wouldn't stop laughing"I've always liked her though.

    [Matilda]My heart hammered against my ribs as I weaved through the crowd, my eyes scanning every face, every corner. My hands trembled as I wiped my wet palms on my jeans. I had already reported to security, but I couldn’t stay put."Oh God, where are my kids?"Tears burned down my cheeks, my breathing uneven as I searched from one aisle to the other, panic clawing at my chest. Maybe I should go back to the security post. Maybe someone had found them and was bringing them thereI groaned and turned to walk back when my entire body suddenly froze."Mummy!" My eyes widened.Austin!I spun so fast that my vision blurred, and then I saw them, my babies. Standing there, safe and sound.Before my brain could process anything else, I was already running. My knees struck the ground as I yanked them into my arms, hugging them so tightly that it hurt. "What did I say about you two running off?" My voice shook, with frustration and relief. "You can't do that to mummy, you can't!"The tears I w

    [Kaden]"What the fuck is the problem?" Mason asked me for the umpteenth time since we left the mall. My jaw clenched tightly as I stared out the window.What was I supposed to tell them? And why the fuck am I even angry? I saw Tilda with kids, and she not only has a partner but also twin boys! It really shouldn't matter, it fucking shouldn't, but it did, and that pissed me off even more.What gives her the right to be happy? That fucking gold digger is married to that dude and has kids! I wanted to see her break apart! I fucking wanted to see her suffer for the stunt she pulled years ago! But what now? She had what my wife and I couldn't.Are they married? I don't recall checking the dudes' marital status, but of course they should, they have kids, so they probably should!! "Kaden!" Mason tapped me from the back, drawing my attention back to him."Did something happen? Are you okay? You went after the kids and came back looking like you wanted to murder someone,""I'm okay!"

    [Kaden]"Ka...," She made to speak, but I swallowed her words, my hand tightening on her neck as I sucked on her lips—she whimpered, parting her lips for meA guttural growl tore from my throat as I plunged my tongue deeper into hers, claiming every inch. My fingers found the edge of her towel as I pulled it off her allowing it to fall silently at her feetMy hand moved over her tits, grabbing and fondling it hard.'It's not as firm as the one I touched six years ago,' my stupid mind chimed in, making me squeeze harder on my wife's boobs, eliciting a whimper from her.Yes, Tilda fucking disgusts me, which is why I have never fucked her when I am sober, but why does every part of her body seem to be imprinted on my head- why do I have to remember how firm her boobs were when touching my wife's own?She is a whore, a gold digger, a fucking whore who opens up her legs to anyone"Oh!" Cherry whimpered hard, pulling me out of my thoughts. She held my chest and slowly pushed me back, her ch

    [Kaden] My heart clenched so tightly that I felt it would shatter as I walked down the stairs to the kitchen. "Are you done?" I asked one of the maids in the kitchen and she nodded, holding up a tray "Let me have it!" I stretched out my hand and took the breakfast from her as I made my way upstairs. I took a slow deep breath and pushed open the door to our room, my gaze drawn to Cherry's sleeping form! I walked over to the bed, dropped the tray by the side, and plopped down beside her. Leaning close, I placed a soft kiss on her forehead. She whimpered softly, her eyes slowly opening. She blinked twice, moving her hand over to her eyes and wiping off her sleepy eyes. "Good Morning!" I said softly as she bit down on her lower lip. "I brought you breakfast!" She ignored me and tried to get up, only to wince in pain. "Fuck!" She cursed under her breath, slowly pushing herself off the bed My hand curled into fists as I watched her standing up The duvet slipped off her, reveal

I mumbled as I closed the gap and tightened my grip on Julia's waistI've been trying to reach her since yesterday when we got back from the mall and it's almost twenty-four hours and she only decided to pick and rush down to my house this night"I'm so sorry baby, it won't happen again, I got caught up with work and it was just too much, we had this project at hand and we needed to submit it tonight, so we all had to pull an all-nighter, I just got off work this evening!" Julia pouted her lips and gave me that face that I couldn't stay mad at."I was worried, I thought something happened!" We walked over to the sitting room, plopping down on the couch."Nothing happened, I'm here now, I'm taking the day off, so I will be spending the night!""You better do!" I whined"Are the twins asleep?""Yes," I nodded, my hand smoothing my dark long hair as I gazed at Julia, pressing my lips into a thin line."Did something happen?" Julia asked

    [Matilda]"What did he mean by seeing you in court, why is he taking you to court?" Leo asked and I took a deep breath trying to calm the way my heart thumped hard in my chest by recalling that statement from LeoI stared up at Leo biting down on my lower lip"He wants the full custody of the kids,""That fucking bastard," Leo growled out, his jaw clenching as he lowered his gazeHe stared up. "Was he aware that you were pregnant?" Leo asked and I shook my head, taking another sip from my wine"I didn't tell him about it,""Why?" Leo asked and I knew that there was no other way around this, I had to tell him everything, the one memory I hated to recall for the past six yearsI stared up at Leo and then lowered my gaze, swallowing the sudden lump that made its way to my throat"If you don't want to talk about it Tesoro, it's fine, you can...,""No I want to," I mumbled fidgeting with my hands.

The men who had walked out with him made their way leaving and LeoI made to speak but he cut me off"Matilda, I don't want to hear anything from you, is that fucking too much for you to register into your head," Leo snapped. I bit down on my lip, staring at Leo like I was suddenly looking at a different person entirelyI locked my gaze on him, I opened my mouth to speak but shut it back. I wanted to speak with him, I wanted to make him understand, but standing right in front of him, with the way his eyes darkened, I suddenly felt speechless"Since you have nothing reasonable to say then I will take it that I should leave," He flashed me a smile that did nothing to hide the anger In his eyesI bit down on my lip, watching as he made to take a step out"If you leave right now, then I'll take it that you do hate me and love seeing me like this," My voice wavered as fresh tears poured down my eyesLeo stood frozen in the spot, his b

    [Matilda]I walked down the stairs, my heart skipping with each step I took down. It was barely 9 am but I was already dressed up to leave! Not to my store or any other place but to meet Leo! I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night. The anger In Leo's voice and face couldn't get out of my mind no matter how hard I tried"Mummy, are you going out?" My eyes shifted to my kids who were seated with their teacher in the living room. I walked towards them placing a soft kiss on their foreheads, before bidding them goodbye"I'm leaving," I said to their Nanny, and she gave me a firm nod. A look of worry flickering in her eyes, she made to speak but I flashed her a smile before turning and making my way outI glanced at my phone for the umpteenth time since last night to know if Leo had at least replied to my message but it was still exactly like that! And the worst part is that he read every message I sent and still didn't utter a word. I tried explaining to him that I didn't mean to lie t

    [Kaden]"When did you start smoking, Cherry, and who was that?" My voice was low as I asked. I wasn't shocked seeing Cherry smoking because lately, it has felt like I didn't know my wife anymoreShe opened her mouth to speak but shut it back"I don't know what you're talking about," She said, dropping the cigarettes on the floor using her leg to put off the cigarettesI just wasn't in the mood for this anymore, I was beginning to regret coming here to get her in the first place"We're going home, haven't you stayed enough?" I asked, my arms crossed over my chestHer eyes lingered on mine, biting down on her lower lip. "You...I...I mean, no I'm not coming home," Her voice was low, her eyes still not leaving mine, locking her gaze on mine"You are because I'm not leaving here without you," I brushed past her making my way into the room. My eyes moved over to the table, a glass with two bottles of wine and almost three packets of cigarettesI plopped down on the bed, dragging the bottle

    [Kaden]"Is that the Leo guy, that handsome tall dude?" Ryan asked as we walked out of the hall towards the lotI glared at him and I knew he caught it as a sign to shut up"If you have nothing to say just shut the fuck up," I gritted out, making my way to my carSo She also didn't tell her little lover about me? I raked my hand through my hair as I pulled my car open and slipped in taking a slow deep breathMonster? The dude's voice echoed all over my head. If I was doubting whether I had crossed paths with him, then his attitude tonight confirmed it allTilda didn't tell him about me! Which meant he had no reason to hate or call me such names. I saw the look in his eyes when he gritted out my name like I had hurt his ego or probably done some hurtful things to himWell, I've done some hurtful things to so many people but I was very sure I don't lay my hands on people who aren't traitors! But Leo, how the fuck can I still not picture where I've seen that dude?"Are you going to star

Tears gathered at the corners of my eyes and before I could say a word tears rolled down my cheeks. Leo's eyes immediately turned towards me, I watched as his eyes softened but were quickly masked up immediately"Matilda kindly step down," He grumbled yet again, I stiffened back my tears reaching out to his hands"I won't leave," My lips quivered as I took a slow deep breath. "Just hear me out please I didn't mean to lie to you, I wanted to tell you I fucking swear and that was the reason I've been trying to see you and I...,""If you could understand that none of these things you're saying are making its way to my ears then I would rather you save your time and step down," Leo snapped, flinging my hands off and the next minute he was pulling the car door open and stepping outI watched as he rounded the car.

I pushed the door open, raising my eyes to step out only for me to stop in my tracks at the sight before meLeoThe fuck? How?"Leo... Leo?" My heart skipped as I called out his name. His eyes weren't on me Instead he had his eyes fixed behind me watching and just then Kaden walked right out nudging me and I watched Leo's eyes widen"The fuck?" Leo growled out, his eyes snapping from me to Kaden who decided to fucking stop beside me instead of getting the fuck outI watched Leo's eyes darken, his jaw clenching hard as he locked his gaze on Kaden's. The same look he gave him the very first day he saw him at the event"Tesoro, what did I just hear right now?" Leo's voice was laced with anger.

    [Kaden] I tilted my neck to the side and the first person my eyes met was Tilda as she walked in, her fingers locked with that bastard. My jaw clenched hard, taking my eyes off her, I turned back to the stage even though nothing was making sense in whatever they were saying up there My fingers dug into my palm as that one image that always clawed to my mind whenever I looked at that Leo guy, came rushing back The bastard on top of her, balls deep banging her... Fuck "I'm out of here!" I growled out and Ryan shot me a look "Are you going to congratulate her?" The fucker beside me, uttered, biting back a chuckle. I don't fucking blame him, do I? Before he could say another word I was already on my feet making my way out. I walked down the hall and instead of heading toward the exit, I walked down the hallway by the left heading to the restroom "What exactly does she even see in that bastard," I growled out, my finger raking through my hair as I increased my pace walking through t

    [Matilda]"Congratulations once again," Daisy said as she side-hugged me. My lips stretched into a big smile. She was such a sweet person."Thank you so much," I said softly, picking up my bag once I was done getting myself together."We'll contact you, just like they said if the need arises," she added, and I nodded, offering her a warm smile.I made my way out through the back door we had used earlier, responding to a few fellow chefs who congratulated me along the way. My cheeks were already aching from smiling so much, but I didn’t mind.As I pushed the door open, I wasn’t surprised to see the first person standing right in front of it. My lips curled into a big smile, and without a word, I walked straight into his open arms."Congratulations," Leo murmured, his arms tightening around me."Thank you.""I knew you’d make me proud. You should have seen their faces when they walked up to your station," Leo pulled back, his eyes locking onto mine, pride written all over his face."You
