ICE’S POV:I asked her as soon as she answered the call, "What did you discover? Any news?" "I have already found something about your twin, Empress," she answered with a serious tone.This was immediately picked up by my interest and somehow felt better knowing that we already had a lead on him."What did you find out about him?" I asked her again.She answered, "I immediately looked for your records from the hospital where you were born, and I searched that hospital to see if there were twins born on December 29, 1993." I was immediately eager to hear some more."What did you find out about that hospital?" I asked her.I heard him sigh, "I found that there is a twin who was born there, Empress." She answered and stopped for a moment before continuing, "However, I also found out that one of them is missing.""It was the boy, right?" I inquired, hoping that the twins she was referring to were indeed us.This answer made my chest pound. "Yes, the baby boy disappeared, and when I looke
ICE’S POV:“Then how about your husband?” Xercel asked while looking at me curiously.I shook my head, “I don’t know anything about him and I am not planning to get to know him at all. I am already content with having him as the father of my children and him doing his obligation to my children.” I answered lazily.Her lips formed an ‘O’ shape and she nodded her head in amusement, “Okay, but what are your plans about Iciest?” She asked again, which left me somehow speechless for how many seconds. My plans for Iciest? I don’t know either. I don’t know how to face him and tell him about my situation. People may tell me that I have a choice if I really want to. I can choose to have a divorce so that I can be with the person I love, but it wasn’t that easy for me. Marriage is sacred to me. Aside from that, I want my kids to experience having a complete family, although their real father is still nowhere to be seen. Yes, I will not be treating Gray as their father figure anymore because
ICE’S POV:However, I still choose to manage my other businesses instead of focusing on being a doctor. Now, I guess a hands-on mom of two and someone who needed to get her revengeYes, I am still not going to let go of this plan, not when I discover that they were somehow involved in my accident as well as the fact that I almost lost my children.I can’t let that slide. I fucking didn’t see my children when they were born, during their birthdays, and everything that I should have witnessed during their growth.But now, everything will be different. I will make sure of that.I told them, "Menudo is already cooked, babies." This made History clap both of his hands happily while smiling and looking at the pot. "Help me to prepare the table, please," I added while getting a bowl where I planned to put the menudo.I cook an extra portion as well, since we can just re-heat this later at night and maybe the four annoying creatures will like to taste this as well."Okay, mom." I heard Chroni
ICE’S POV:"Empress, are you okay?" I heard Jensen ask, which made me snap back to reality.I looked at them and saw that they were looking at me questioningly.I scoffed, "Of course. Just eat there while keeping your mouth shut since I am not in the mood right now. After you eat, go already, or you will all be late." I replied coldly and continued eating as well.I didn’t even notice that I was already spacing out again. Damn it! I had so many papers to work on last night, and I didn’t have that much time to sleep. I even stayed here in the living room so that I would not disturb the two sleeping kids on my right."Empress, we are now finished." I heard Kiana mumble, so I looked at them and saw that the four of them were already standing up one by one with their plates, utensils, and glasses.I just nodded my head, "Just put your plates there. I will clean that up once we are finished eating." I told them.They all look at each other and put down the things in their hands gently befo
ICE’S POV:Since I thought that they may feel bored if they just stayed at our house, I invited them to go to the nearest park, which they gladly accepted.Here we are now, putting a blanket on the grassy field of the park below a tree. I found a place that was somehow away from the rays of the sun, so I decided to spread the blanket here instead.Once we were all settled in our positions, I couldn’t help but glance at them and smile as I saw them watching the sky silently.Chronicles were just looking above calmly while History had this fond look on his face, as if he was really enjoying this leisure time of ours.Well, as much as I wanted to finish all that paperwork of mine, I can do that later. What matters now is my children, who seem to like this bond of ours at the moment. I looked around and saw that many children not far from us were already playing and even running with their peers happily.I sighed and smiled sadly. I didn’t experience that though, based on the memories tha
ICE’S POV:I woke up when I started to feel the pain in my head again. I tried to open my eyes, but the pain only got worse, so I just decided to keep them closed and stay in my position.I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists to stop myself from making any noise so that I would not wake them up. I sighed and tried to calm myself as it took some time for me before the pain went away.I slowly opened my eyes as I searched for air to breathe and held my forehead to somehow make sure that it was already fine. This is when I realized that I was already covered in sweat.I just shook my head and slowly got up to take a shower, but before that, I caught a glimpse of the two children still sleeping on the bed without any sign of waking up. I sighed. That’s good.I kissed them on the forehead gently and continued walking to the bathroom while trying to balance myself to avoid falling.Without saying anything, I took off all my clothes and turned on the shower. I even closed my eyes and brea
ICE’S POV:"Good morning, everyone!" I heard them greet me as soon as they entered the dining area together."Good morning, uncle and aunties!" History greeted them back happily while waving his little hands."Good morning." Chronicles greeted them back calmly as well while still maintaining his stoic expression. Nothing’s new, though. We are all used to it anyway."Are you leaving, Empress?" Jaycel asked suddenly, once she was already settled in her seat. This caused me to stop eating and look at her.I nodded my head, "Yes, and I will bring the children with me." I answered her calmly."Do you want us to come too?" Xercel asked anxiously, as if she was worried about something.I can’t blame her, though. Many things have happened in the past few days, and this is just a rare moment for us in which we can somehow have the freedom to go without minding any mission and such.I shook my head, since for me it is not needed anymore. After all, Kiana is with us already."There is no need si
ICE’S POV:She sighed and nodded her head at me, "Of course, let's go!" She immediately replied while smiling at me."Okay," I mumbled, and before I followed her, I turned my attention to my children first.I saw how tense and worried History was, and even though Chronicles seemed to be calm outside, it didn’t go unnoticed by my eyes how he fidged with the hem of his hoodie.I sighed, "I will be fine. Your auntie Zeyan here will not let anything bad happen to me." I told them and looked in the direction of Zeyan. "Am I right?" I asked her coldly, and she glanced at me for a few seconds before looking back at my children.She smiled, "Of course, I am a doctor just like your mom, and I will promise you that I will do my best to make sure that she is healthy." She told them and glanced at me meaningfully.I turn my attention to my children, while Kiana is just looking at me worriedly."Thank you, auntie." History mumbled while looking cutely at Zeyan."It’s my job, baby." She replied bef
