ICE’S POV:My forehead creased as I frowned and asked again, "Then she found out about us marrying each other, right?"He nodded sadly as he answered, "When she found out that I got married, she immediately found a way to kill you and separate us, and she even attempted to kill our children in the hospital when they were just born." This made me grit my teeth as he looked at me and asked, "During that time, I don't have any choice, Cheonsa, but to do what I did back then."When he called me that unfamiliar yet familiar nickname, I somehow looked at him in bewilderment as I looked away in shame. I didn’t know that the nickname he has always called me in the past still has this kind of effect in the present.I felt warm and soft inside. I felt like I was already at home, like I belonged there, but when I remembered what he told me about that woman, the anger in my chest flared up again.I looked at him with a serious expression and asked to make sure, "You are referring to that mafia qu
ICIEST’S POV:I wanted to slap myself that time because I felt so selfish for just thinking about myself when I still had my children who were waiting for me to take care of them and let them experience the family that both of us and their mom didn’t experience because of how cruel the world was to us by taking our parents at an early age.It happened one night, so when I heard him cry, I immediately walked towards their crib, and there I saw him crying as his brother was awakened because of his cry as well.The only difference is that Chronicles was just staring at his crying brother silently. Even at a young age, Chronicles wasn’t the type of baby who cried a lot except when he was hungry, unlike History, who always cried every time. But I don’t mind; I am still fond of both of them and I love them equally no matter what happens.I heaved a sigh that time before wiping my tears and bending slightly to carry History in my arms as I rocked him to sleep while humming some gentle tune f
ICIEST’S POV:He nodded his head at me before tilting his head cutely as he asked, "Is it important, dad?"I smiled at him faintly before I nodded my head with a sigh as I answered, "This is about your mom, so I’ll go now so that I can come back immediately."They both nodded, so I kissed History’s head and held his hand to walk closer to where Chronicles was seated before letting him seat in his previous spot and bending down slightly to kiss Chronicles’ forehead as well.After that, I immediately excused myself and went to my room since both of them had their own rooms since they were kids. I opened the door of my room and went inside before placing my bag and my coat above my bed.I walked towards the bathroom and washed up before doing my nighttime routine. After that, I went out while wearing my bathrobe and went inside my walk-in closet. I choose to wear my black pajamas before I leave my room.As I walk downstairs, I am already thinking of some ways to convince my children to l
ICIEST’S POV:This time, it was my turn to laugh with her as I answered. "It was their names, baby." I paused and looked at her gently as I added, "Their names were Chronicles Thunder Palace Imperial and History Flame Palace Imperial, so they named their first-ever mobile games with that along with your name."This time I saw how she became teary-eyed again. Maybe she felt overwhelmed with what I told her since, even me, I really find it warm inside whenever I think about how much they love their mother and how much they love the person I love. I smiled fondly while looking at her when I saw how she tried to hold her tears back, but they still ended up streaming down her cheeks.She hugged me while burying her face in the crook of my neck as she sobbed while muttering, "My babies."I rubbed her back without saying anything to calm her down, as both of our hearts beat in sync. After all, I know how she is feeling right now. She must be very overwhelmed knowing that she wasn’t present f
ICIEST’S POV:All of them just laughed at what he said, as the other guy stood up from his seat to hold his arms. I took my phone and decided to just record them so that I would have some evidence for them later. I let my camera face in their direction as I saw that the poor guy even tried to get his arms back, but failed to do so because of his situation.The man who was holding him said smugly, "Look, don’t fight us anymore because anytime soon you will not get any choice since we put something in your drink earlier and you are too stupid to realize that."After that guy said that, the people with him laughed with him while the poor guy just raised his head weakly to glare at them. This time my expression darkens because my suspicion was right.Actually, I don’t really like to meddle in someone’s affair, but I am not that bad at letting these things just unfold in front of me without doing anything to stop them. I still have some humanity and I can’t tolerate this kind of scam.They
ICIEST’S POV:I scoffed at this as I pouted because I didn’t want to let go of this comfortable position. Just her being here with me is already enough to make me somehow forget about all the things that I am thinking about right now.Even though I know that she didn’t need to sneak out of the hospital because it was dangerous, I couldn’t help but be selfish as well, because deep in my heart and in the back of my mind, I knew that I wanted this so badly.Maybe she noticed my expression, so she sighed at me helplessly as she answered the phone beside me without standing up. She even rested her head on my shoulder again as she placed her phone to her ear, and I smiled and remained silent beside her while the call was on and she was busy answering whatever question they had for her.I can’t blame them though; my wife just sneaked out without telling any of them. Aside from that, based on the report from my men, one of her friends is in the hospital right now. I let out a sigh as she hung
ICE’S POV:I can’t take this silence anymore, so I asked them, "Who was taking care of Xercel while you were all here?"I even made my voice as calm as possible. They all turned to look at Jensen and Arthur, who were looking at each other with serious expressions, and sighed back at me.Jensen answered, "We let two of our men look out for her for the moment." He glanced at the man beside me momentarily as he looked back at me and asked with confusion and curiosity, "Mind telling us what is happening right now and explaining what you did?"Hearing this, I sighed as I told them everything that had happened in the past while my children sat silently beside me and their father. Maybe this guy already told them about it before they let themselves in on his plan and into my life again."You mean, you had amnesia before?" Jaycel asked with a hint of shock in her voice, so I nodded my head, which made her mumble as if she realized something, "Maybe that’s the reason why Xercel told me that ma
GRAYSON’S POV:As soon as I got in, my eyebrows immediately furrowed when I saw three figures. Two of them were sitting together while whispering at each other, so I couldn’t see their faces at the moment, and by the looks of it, it seems that they are talking about something important. The other one who was sitting opposite them may have already felt my presence, which became the reason why she turned her head in my direction. When our eyes met in the air, she gave me a smile, to which I replied by nodding my head at her."He is here already, Empress and Emperor." I heard Mac mumble politely, which became the reason why I turned my attention towards the two people earlier, who were now looking back at me.The other one was still cold as always, while the other one had a smile on her face despite the fact that it was faint.At first, I was quite confused when I saw their faces, but it slowly changed into a surprised one as my jaw dropped when I saw those eyes. I look into her eyes wit
