•DARLA•

As I took the elevator to our hotel suite, I kept thinking about Elijah and everything that he said.

It felt a bit weird that he was suddenly respecting my relationship with Ethan and not seeking to destroy it.

The time I spent with him, laughing and talking about silly things, felt like I was with an entirely different person.

For the two years that we were married, I never knew that side of him existed.

I felt cheated on a man who could've made my marriage a little more bearable, instead of the version of him that was cold and always out on business trips to have time to get to know me better.

"Ethan?" I called out when I walked in to dimmed lights in the living room and kitchen.

My mind quickly thought of Rachel when I saw the light setting and the fact that I had gone out and didn't specify to him when I was coming back.

But when I walked inside the bathroom and found him just coming out of the shower alone, I cleared my throat from embarrassment and closed the door

    •ABIGAIL•"Now they will all see that Sonia is nothing but a gold-digging bitch. She's probably here because she wants all the money that Elijah has, but it won't happen. Not on my watch."I went straight to the sitting room where I found Zara with Poppy and Harper. They were laughing and having a good time when I threw my cell phone on Zara's lap with the pictures of Sonia."Look at that and tell me if you still want that slut to marry your son instead of the mother of his child that he has been with for years!" I sneered. "Abigail, what's going on?" Poppy asked as she stood up from the couch and leaned toward me. "The woman that your mother planned to get her married to your brother turns out to be a street whore. As long as I'm in this house and carrying Elijah’s child, I will never allow another woman to exploit him. I won't let that whore to -" Zara laughed and interrupted me from finishing my sentence. I was shocked at what she was laughing at because it was crystal clear t

    •DARLA•"Oh, fuck." I muttered as I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth while I thought of what I was going to say to Sonia when I called her. I didn't want to get in the middle of Elijah's problems, but since he sounded desperate and wouldn't have asked for my help if he didn't need it, I felt like I owed it to him. When I was done brushing my teeth and taking a shower, I went to the living room and found Ethan's note in the living room informing me that he was coming back soon with a surprise.So, since I was alone, I took my cell phone and dialed Sonia's cell phone number, and she took a while to pick it up. When she did, I got up from my couch as the nerves started to kick in. I didn't want to make her an enemy by taking away her chance of being with the man that she wanted. I also didn't want to ruin our friendship over a man that I wasn't worried about who he dated and when. I didn't want it to bother me because I was happily married to Ethan. "H

    •DARLA•"Are you sure that we can bring the kids here? They are loud, and they cry, and they are loud to emphasize my point." I tried to convince Ethan as he booked the kids and Penelope a flight from San Francisco to Detroit. "Yes, babe. We will be here for a very long time, so they might as well come and live with us. They are very young to see us one week in a month. Besides, this house is big enough to give us some time to work while they are playing somewhere around the house." "Are you sure that we will be able to handle work and the kids?" I asked, wanting to make sure that he was not going to feel under pressure once the kids were here. "Of course, babe. Besides, Penelope will be helping us with them. It's not like we are going to look after them 24/7. So, I don't see a problem with this new arrangement." "You're right," I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. "Thank you, Ethan. I don't know what I'd ever do without you." "No, I don't know what I'd ever do witho

    •ABIGAIL•"I wonder if they are going to get him to marry her now. After what we did to her face, I doubt if she would want Elijah to look at her." Kathrine chuckled on the other end of the line while I dressed for my little date with someone."There's no wedding that's going to take place," I laughed. "Not in my watch. Not while I am carrying his child. I will make sure of it." "Do whatever you have to, and know that I'm one phone call away in case you want to kick ass again." "Thank you, big sissy." I hung up the call and smirked in front of the mirror. Zara and Sonia were just about to feel my full wrath, and I pitied them. If they knew not to mess with me, then I wasn't going to do what I was about to do to them. After getting dressed and feeling my outfit, I left my bedroom and went straight to my car. I didn't even want to bother myself by responding to the voices behind me. After turning on my engine, I hit the accelerator and drove straight to Midtown, where Anthony had j

    •DARLA•"Who is our father anyway?" Madison asked. I looked at them and felt my throat getting dry. My body went numb, and I couldn't think of anything to say to them."Your father went away on a business trip so that he will be able to send you money every month to buy you clothes and food. I'm sure he will return someday, and he will be happy to see two so grown up and tall." I finally answered.The twins smiled as they looked at each other. I felt relieved because at least I was able to provide them with an answer than saying that he was dead. "Is he a police officer, Mom?" William squealed. "No, baby." I chuckled. "He's a business guy in a construction. He's very handsome too and looks exactly like you, Will." I smiled at them. "When he returns, he will take you to Disneyland and show you all the amazing places around the world." "When do you think he will return, Mommy?" Madison asked, her face looking a bit sad. "Very soon, baby. Very soon. He told me that he can't wait to

    •ABIGAIL•"Abi, what's going on?" Kathrine asked when I called her again in my bedroom. "I was talking with Harper. She heard me when I was talking to you on the phone, but I'm not sure how much she heard. I'm just scared that she might ruin all my plans." "Harper is the younger one, right? The one Dylan cheated on you with?" "Yes. Ugh," I rolled my eyes. "I still don't know what he saw in her. What's worse is that she thinks that she and I are mates since we fucked the same man." That was 10 years ago before I met Elijah. Dylan was the love of my life before I found out that he cheated on me with Harper. I was shocked to my core when I discovered that she was Elijah's sister. I only knew about Poppy since Harper was always out of the country for school. "You have to teach her a lesson before she walks all over you. I'm sure she thinks that you're still competing for Dylan with her. I don't know why she doesn't focus on that junkie and leave you alone." I didn't know how to ans

    •ELIJAH•When I got back to my villa after bumping into Darla at the supermarket, I was very conflicted and couldn't let go of how the twins referred to Ethan as their uncle. I couldn't let it off my mind even though a part of me kept trying to convince me that if the kids were mine, Darla wouldn't have kept them from me. "Jason, hey, man." I called him so that he would be able to talk some sense into me in case I was reading too much into the whole situation. "Hey, bro. Are you good? How's Detroit?""Drtroit's good, I'm just having a bit of a problem right now with Darla. I can't let go of the feeling that her kids might be mine." "You mean the twins? But isn't Ethan their father?" He asked. "That's the thing, my guy, the twins referred to him as their uncle when I asked about him. I'm sure that if they were his kids, and he had been there since their births, they wouldn't call him uncle. That's just weird." "That's true, man. I think you have to talk to Darla about this one.

    •AMELIA•"This is the sac, and the little tadpole inside is your baby. You're currently measuring 6 weeks and 3 days. Would you like to hear the heartbeat?" The sonographer asked. I nodded with a smile. "That's the heartbeat. It beats twice or even three times as yours. This is a very good sign that the baby is developing well. Since you're in the most fragile phases of pregnancy, I advise that you take as much rest as you can, eat healthy, and try to be active whenever you can. Avoid strenuous exercises." I nodded at her with a smile as I took the sonogram pictures and went back to my doctor's office. His face was long, and he sighed as I sat down on the chair in front of him and gave him the pictures. I didn't want him to make me choose between my life and that of the baby after hearing the heartbeat.I could even hear the heartbeat at the back of my mind, and the thought of getting rid of it before they were able to see the world that I was trying to survive in made me guilty.

    •ELIJAH•"Elijah, can we talk?"I groaned when I heard my mother's voice behind me. I was on my way to work in the morning when she stopped me right in my footsteps in the hallway. "I just want to make sure that you and I are good. I can't bear the thought of being in a bad place with one of my kids after laying one of them to rest forever. I can't take it anymore, Elijah, please. I am very sorry for everything that happened. But you are my son, and what happened between me and your father was never meant to reach your ears." I scoffed as I turned around and looked at her. "I'm not mad at you because you had an affair when you were with my father and had Harper. What pisses me off more than anything is your affair with a man young enough to be your son. Actually, I don't think I would've had a problem if that man wasn't my children's uncle." "I know, baby. I know that I messed up," she leaned closer. "But what happened between Anthony and I was nothing, but something that was meant

    •DARLA•Elijah kept snickering next to me in the car while I was trying to act all serious and avoid him. We were on our way to the airport, and I already didn't want to see him. I just wanted to be home with my kids and pretend for a moment that everything that happened didn't happen. "Are you really not going to say anything to me?" He broke the silence, and I rolled my eyes, folded my arms on my chest, and looked away from him. "Come on, I won't tell the kids until you're ready to tell them yourself. You know that I want what's best for them," he added.When we got to the airport, we boarded our plane and I was relieved when we didn't get seats next to each other. After a few hours on the plane, we finally arrived in Atlanta, and Elijah hurried to help me and the twins out. I then told the twins to go inside our car and wait for me while I had a word with Elijah. He just smirked when I pulled him to the side. "Listen, I don't like this tension between us, especially about my

    •DARLA•"You can't take my kids from me, Elijah. I don't care that you feel as if I kept them from you for years, but you're the one who abandoned me when I was carrying them. Those kids are mine," I seethed as we got inside a taxi in Montana."It's because you kept them from me that I think I should stay with them for a while. They deserve to know their father and be close to him." I shook my head as I looked out of the window. "We are getting my kids, and until I'm sure that they're safe, I'm not letting them off my sight.""They're mine as well." God, I regretted ever telling him the truth. He was going to use that line against me every time he wanted to have his way and take my kids from me. I didn't say anything to him until we arrived at the station. I hopped out of the car and rushed inside the building, eager to see my kids and make sure that they weren't harmed. When an officer came to assist me, I told him about the twins, and he didn't hesitate as he took me straight t

    •ABIGAIL•"Fuck," I cursed under my breath as I took a hoodie and covered my face. I stood in front of a tall building and released an exhausted sigh. I was in Chicago, and I was sure as hell that I would be caught soon. I hesitated to walk inside the building and find the person that Kathrine said would be able to help me until all the chaos had settled. I took a deep breath as I walked up the stairs and asked for Caleb from the receptionist. She gave me a stern look before she directed me to his office."Hold on for a minute," he suggested as he was on a phone call.I impatiently sat down on the chair in front of his desk and tapped my foot on the floor. I knew that Elijah wouldn't give up searching for me until he had found me. Now that it turned out that Harper survived, I had nowhere else to hide anymore. "Kathrine's sister?" Caleb asked after getting off his call. I took off the hoodie that covered my face and nodded. "Yes. She said you'll be able to help me with getting a

    •ELIJAH•"I'm going to the house right now, Harper called and told me that she had arrived. I just wanted to pass by the restaurant and get something to eat and avoid my mother for a while." "You still mad at her about Harper's biological father?" Jason asked as I was heading back home. "And that she was sleeping with Darla's brother. I couldn't believe it when Abigail revealed it before she disappeared. My mother even had the guts to admit it to me without showing any remorse or shame." "Fuck. That's pretty messed up, bro. What is she going to do when she finds out that the twins are yours?" "She knows that. I told her. I wanted to see her reaction when I told her. What baffles me is that she was the one who kept pressuring me to get DNA tests after she met the twins. I don't know if she didn't think that her relationship with Anthony was going to be jeopardized." "It's okay, bro. I hope you and your Mom manage to find a common ground and fix things.

    •ETHAN•"Ethan, please tell me that the kids aren't with you. You're going to be in serious trouble if you're caught by the police with them on the road." Chris said on the phone when he called me again the following morning. I hung up his call yesterday because I was afraid that he was going to tell the police that I was the one who took the twins, especially since he was the one that I talked to. "Yes, Chris, the twins are with me. But you should know that they're perfectly safe with me. I've been their father since day one, and nothing has changed. I have the right to be with them now.""You just don't get it, do you?" He released a low growl on the phone. "The twins are everywhere on the news. The moment they see them with you, you'll be in trouble." "You and I know that you're the one who thought this would be a good idea to get Darla back to her senses. You don't think that's a good idea anymore?" "I never said you should kidnap the damn kids! Elijah's looking for them, and

    •DARLA•"Elijah knows about the kids being his?" Daphne asked as I laid my head down on her lap as we were sitting in her living room. "I just found myself blurting it out because I was upset. I don't know, but my mind was all over the place, and maybe I felt guilty that the kids went missing, and he still didn't know they were his children." "How did he react?" I sighed. "I just left him there and went to my car. I couldn't even go home and decided to spend a night here. I didn't want him to come knocking outside my door." "So, you're avoiding him?" She asked as she looked down at me with a smirk. "That's not what I'm saying!" I defended myself as I straightened up from the couch and looked at her. "I just don't want us to talk about my pregnancy. Not while my kids are still out there and not found yet." "Are you sure that's why you're avoiding him? You told me that something happened between you two when you were suspecting that Ethan was cheating on you, remember?" I sighed

It's time you show this family gratitude for everything that we've done for you." "Yes, Daddy." I bowed my head a little and nodded as a tear slipped down from my eye. "Are you crying?" "No!" I exclaimed as I quickly wiped the tear from my eye and looked up at him. "I'm sorry, Dad." My father sighed as he got up from the couch across from me and looked at me. "We'll talk when you come back home." He then walked out of the living room and went to his study. I closed my mouth and released the tears that I was holding behind my eyes. I was so scared of failing my father and our family. More than anything, I was scared of losing Philip, the only man who loved me for me. My father never approved of him because he didn't come from a good family background. His family was poor, and he earned an average salary. "Miss -"

    •ELIJAH• "The twins are your children." Her voice kept ringing in my head, and I didn't know what to do with myself. It was Poppy's funeral day, but the only thing I was thinking about was Darla's confession. I was so angry yet sad that she had to do everything on her own when she found out that she was pregnant with my kids. I felt robbed of a chance to be there for them and know them. At the same time, I knew at the back of my mind that I deserved it. I broke Darla's heart and filed for divorce because I thought that I was expecting a child with Abigail and thought that I would raise the child with her as a couple. "Elijah, can I come in?" My mother asked outside the door. She and I haven't been talking for a few days now, and though I opened the door for her, I didn't know how to react to seeing her. "Yes?" "I just wanted -" She walked inside my room and sighed. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for being such a disappointing mother. I didn't know that you would find ou
