I raised my head to stop my tears from falling. I don't want them to see that their father crying.
"You gave up, and now?" Charles asked softly."Now I'm willing to make everything right but it's too late. I am four years late.""Mom used to tell us that if you want something, you must do something about it. Nothing will happen if you just sit there and wait for some miracle to happen. It's like giving up again for the second time," Charlie told me."You can't give up now, dad. You're four years late, but you just made progress. If you really love mom and you want to make things right, then make things right," Charles told me.I turned to look at them and saw hope and trust in their eyes as they look at me. Both of them had put their trust in me that I will bring back things to normal again and I don't want to disappoint. Not again, not after the disappointments I gave them in their four years of life.------------------------"Warren!" Mother callBella's POVThe kids were sleeping heavily after sleeping late. Warren didn't brought them home in time, missing their bedtime schedule.I'm suppose to wake them up, since it's already time for breakfast, but seeing them deep in their slumber convinced me to let them wake up anytime they want.It's Saturday, and Warren is suppose to bring them out today just like what we agreed to. I'm in no way going to wake the twins up just so they can go out and be with each other on time. Besides, it's his fault that the twins are so tired today.Even I, am suffering from lack of sleep. I've been waiting for them to come home last night while watching the clock tick as time pass by. I don't know how I stayed awake that long without drinking any coffee. I was just excited for them to be home.I sat on Charles's bed and stared at his face. A smile appeared on my face as he looks so much like his father. I'm expecting him to still be sleeping in this time of the morning. H
Bella's POVI am surprised by Warren's sudden plan of taking the kids to vacation in the middle of their school year. There's no need to take the kids in a useless month vacation that can only cause them trouble, but he is so persistent. He really wanted to take the kids somewhere and I doubt that there's an amount of no that can make him stop his plans.I remembered when he once had this kind of impulse decision. He prepared a sudden trip to France that lasted in a month vacation to make up for what he did to me. He was restless after a simple mistake that he did.He only ignored me for a week, but he felt more guilty than a serial killer. I couldn't believe that he is the same man who he felt nothing after he slapped the divorce papers on my face and pushed me out of our house under the pouring rain.It took me so long to realize who is the real him. He's a great actor and could win an oscar if he pursued an acting career. He was so good that he fooled his wife
Warren's POVI stared at my children's baby pictures in awe. They were so cute, and innocent like little angels sleeping in the hospital's nursery room.I wanted to reach my arms into the picture and touch their soft skin and carry them to my heart. I want to hear their soft cries and their baby words, if I could only turn back time. If I could only come back to when they were babies and not miss a thing about them."This is Charles and this is me," Charlie said and pointed at Charles which is the baby wearing blue clothes and pointed the other one which is her, wearing pink baby clothes.Both of them looked alike and you couldn't even tell which one is male and female in the pictures.All babies looked alike when they just came out of their mother's womb. I couldn't believe that I was once a baby, someone who looked like these babies in the picture.I flipped to the next page and saw pictures of them sleeping on the crib when they got home."Their
Bella’s POVThe tapes rolled and the video started moving through our television.Warren and the twins were sitting on the carpet comfortably, watching the important events of their life flash before them.They were silent as they watched the videos, but I was filled with many emotions inside. Each video reminded me of a memory and the emotions I had while taking them."Lottieee," my voice squealed in the video. "Your walking! You're finally walking!" I shouted in glee."Bababababa," Charlie babbled. She had a bright smile on her face, she was so happy that she's finally standing with her two legs."Now Charles, look at your sister. She's finally walking and soon you'll finally learn how to walk," I told Charles and directed the camera to him.He's sitting in his walker and looking at me cluelessly as I talked to him. He was still small and chubby at the time and he even has a drool falling at the side of his lips.I smiled when I rememb
Warren continued staring at me with lots of questions in his head. He wasn't satisfied with my answer, but I doubt that there's more to tell him.Should I just tell him everything? Should I just tell him the whole truth?What difference would it make if I told him that after our divorce, I was so lost, broken and in grief especially that I was pregnant and I will have to raise them by myself.I was jobless, I don't even have a penny to pay for my fare. All I own was left in the mansion because they refused to give me anything that could protect me form the storm and the harsh wind.As if that wasn't enough, I found out that the people I thought were my biological parents were actually my kidnappers who took me from my real family when I was a baby.Then a few days after that, when I was just about to move on and stand up with both of my feet. Ivy came and disrupted my life.She threatened and me and placed me and my babies life in danger. She even went
"France?" I thought to myself. Are they playing tricks with me? Have they all planned this all along. "France? What are you going to do in France?" I questioned their crazy decision.I vowed to myself that I will never step in to that country again. I don't think I can even take a look at that place without having a breakdown. It's filled with all the bitter memories I have with Warren, knowing that what happened to us out there was just an act.He was pretending that he cared for me, that he was sorry for ignoring me for a week, when the truth is he just took me to a vacation and made me fall deeply in love with him than what I thought I could possibly do so that he could break my heart badly once he tells me the truth about his relationship with Ivy.He is heartless and a manipulator. He manipulated me with his charms and empty promises. He made me look like a fool."France is a great country mom, I saw a video about it in the internet. I wanted to visit there
The kids were enjoying the view up in the airplane. As soon as we were up on the sky, they didn't stop moving around and taking pictures of the clouds outside."I can't believe that we are flying over the clouds," Charlie told us happily while Charles is taking a lot of pictures that he's going to send to Drew and Lisa."Guys, you should rest. We have a long trip ahead." I told them."Where are we going to sleep? Charles asked."Choose any seat you want, settle down and take some rest. You need your energy once we landed, come on.""Oh, no, we have beds in the plane where you can sleep," Warren told them."Beds?" Charlie asked in surprise.She's so amused with what she saw just now. She loved how the plane had comfy chairs and we are the only people in here. It's like we are traveling in the house, just like what she said.Warren stood up to show us where the bedroom is which is by the end of the room where we are in earlier.The bedroom
It's exactly dinner time when we arrived in France. We all ate our lunch on the plane and even though we were flying in the air, the foods that were prepared for us are expensive and delicious.We ate gourmet soup, steak, and juice for the twins. Warren offered me some liquor, but I declined. I was never a fan of alcohol, but I experienced getting drunk once when Amelia died. Ever since then, I started drinking alcohol occasionally. I just don't want to be drunk or feel tipsy in front of Warren.The meal we had was freshly cooked, proving that this plane even has a kitchen of its own. I never saw anything like this. I don't even know that this is possible.The kids couldn't believe that we already landed. They were so caught up in keeping their father's attention to them and just being kids.As soon as they left their room, they went back to being their original selves again. Being energetic, troublesome, and not getting tired at all. I'm not even sure if they sl
