I leaned on the wall beside me to support my weight. I thought the three of them wouldn't notice that I'm leaving behind, but Warren turned around and saw what's happening to me.
He didn't waste any time and went running towards me with worry on his face. "Is everything okay? What happened he asked?""Does your leg hurts again, mommy?" Charles asked me filled with concern"Not that much, honey," I told him with a smile so he would stop worry even though my leg hurts so much that I couldn't take a step further anymore."Again?" Warren asked in confusion when he heard what Charles said."Mommy had a surgery on her leg and she can't walk too far because her bone would hurt," Charlie stated while Warren looked around for a chair where I can sit on.There's no chair around us aside from the chairs placed outside a convenience store a few blocks away from us. Before I could say anything, Warren didn't hesitate to carry me bridal style and brought me to the neCharlie yawned loudly. She gaped her mouth open, her eyes closing slightly and she didn't bother to be modest about it. We were the only ones here and she felt comfortable being herself."I'm sleepy," she muttered softly while I chilled beside her."We should go, we are already nearing your bedtime." I held their shoulders and ushered them away from the edge of the tower."You should go down and wait for us in the car. We will be back shortly, I just need to have some time alone with your mom," Warren protested and the twins nodded their head sleepily.Charlie smiled in delight, she understood what her father is trying to do. Charles did too, but he's trying to suppress his feelings so no one would suspect anything."Okay, we will wait for you in the car," Charles answered."No need to hurry, we will just probably sleep while waiting. We will go back here when we need something," Charlie added."Don't worry, our driver is still there and he will wa
There was too much information and none of it made sense. My mind is still clouded with the fact that someone stole so much money from him and he’s thinking that I was the one who stole it.“You believed that I stole the money?” I asked him stopping him from talking.“I did. I hired investigators to track how was someone able to transfer money from my business to another account and they found nothing. It was traceless. The money disappeared like it went invisible and it’s hard to think of someone who would do it.”I stayed silent as I processed his words.“The money is completely gone and-”“So, you lost your money and your primary suspect was me?” I asked him in disbelief. “Warren, in our entire marriage and in our entire relationship. Ever since you met me, did I ever asked you for money or something?” I asked him. “I didn’t asked anything from you and I didn’t even
Silence... A deafening silence rosed between us. None of us spoke a word, none of us can't explain the feelings we felt upon learning the truth.I sighed and walked right to the edge of the view. I couldn't stand the tension around us. "So, what now?" I asked him without looking back."Ivy will have to pay the price. I will make sure of that," he said, his voice laced with rage.I lowered my head and looked directly below me. I saw our car parked in a distance with our driver leaning at the side of the car.Just like that, their marriage is over. "No, Warren," I whispered. "You don't have to do those for me. You can still marry her if you want. You don't have to think about us.""No, Bella. I'm not marrying her anymore and if you don't want to avenge yourself, then I would do it for you and for the kids." I didn't answer him because deep inside I want him to do the words going out of his mouth."Come on, Warren. I know you loved her. You have been with
Warren's POVWarren's heart turn cold at the revelation. He was played like a fool and what's worse than that was Bella doesn't want him back to his life anymore. He was supposed to win her heart back in their trip, but it didn't happen.He thought things will go back to how it was, once he sets things back to normal. However, the truth slapped him hard.Warren couldn't sleep in the plane, he couldn't take his mind off to what happened and to the truth.He gulped his alcoholic drink carefully, his eyes pinned on Bella sleeping peacefully a few chairs in front of him.He hiccuped. "Hick... hick.""She's really an angel and I made her lose her wings," Warren thought to himself. He closed his eyes shut, not liking the thought.Anyways, he already made up his mind. He's supposed to make things right whether Bella rejected her or not and that's what he's going to do once the plane landed.He's gonna be a good father, he's going to treat Bella the w
Warren didn't expect his parents to be patiently waiting for him in the living room with bright smiles on their faces.Of course they knew he had arrived, his employees might have informed them of his arrival. Besides, they knew he would be coming home this day."Oh, son," his mother greeted him and gave him a tight hug. She's smiling and looked like she's near on her tears. However, this didn't make Warren to hesitate in what he's about to tell them."How was the trip?" She asked him and sat on the chair she was sitting on when Warren caught her attention"I asked the bank for any transactions you might had in France and we saw nothing. You spent not even a penny," Wilson stated and gave him a stern stare, demanding for an answer.Yes, Warren didn't use his card or savings in the bank for their expenses in France. He paid everything in cash because he knew his father would see everything if he brought his card with him. He would find out that he's buying fo
Ivy’s POVMy whole body weakened, and I crashed down on the floor, trembling. My tears streamed endlessly when Warren left. I couldn’t believe that this happened on the day when we were supposed to get married.I waited for five years and I loved him before Bella. He’s supposed to be mine. HE’S MINE. But that bitch took him from me.With trembling arms, I raised my hand and wiped the tears from my face. Carefully, I stood up and walked to my bedroom where my phone is.I sniffed as I dialed the numbers. “Gemma, the wedding is over. Everything is over!” I sobbed hysterically and sat on the edge of my bed.“What happened?” Gemma asked loudly on the phone.“He knew... He knew everything that happened,” I cried out. “He just came here after his trip in France and he told me that he knows everything. He threatened me before he left. He said not to show my face to him or his family ever again.&r
"He just gave up that easily," I thought to myself and fell flat on my bed. I felt hot tears threatening to come out of the edge of my eyes.Dad has clear intentions towards mom and us. His motives are clear. He only wants to be a part of us and to take responsibility for every mistake that he did. We cannot stop just like that. Not when everything we want is within our reach. A simple conversation is the only thing they need to fix everything. A simple conversation to make things right.I carefully went out of my bed, making sure not to make even the smallest noise.I twisted the door open carefully and closed it back before tiptoeing down the stairs. I started looking for the keys inside the plant box that was placed in the living room. I know that sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night is dangerous, especially for a small kid like me. However, I had to do something. Charles is already giving up and everything we worked hard for is going down the drain
Jerome’s POVIt’s 11:48 in the evening and instead of being at home or hitting girls in the club, we are stuck in the car staring at the mansion where the kid we are supposed to kidnap lives.The leaves of the trees and the darkness of the night covered us from sight. No one will notice and hold us suspicious here, especially that we are the only people outside.Braden and I came here to take a look at their house and to see if it’s possible to sneak inside it and take the children by force without making much commotion.Our boss’s commands were simple. We need to bring her the kids as soon as possible.We had been monitoring their house and movements for two days. We know where they study, what time they go and off to school, but none of them were helpful in our plans.The twins listen to the adults well. They don’t go out of school and they sit next to the school’s security guard while waiting for their aunt to fetc
