The Alpha Quadruplet's Babies 24
Emma’s POVThat morning, I was getting ready to go back to work after a week of vacation. After making sure everything was ready, I prepared a simple breakfast for my four children. Adney, Adolf, Ainsley, and Allonza were sitting neatly at the dining table, each with a bright smile on their faces. I could feel the warmth in my heart seeing them so calm and obedient.“Allonza, are you ready for breakfast, honey?” I asked the youngest, who was busy drawing something on a paper napkin.“Yes, Mom,” Allonza replied with a small nod. She immediately put down her crayons and started eating.Ainsley, who was sitting next to Allonza, looked at her sister with a slight smile on her face. “Mom, last night Allonza said she dreamed of playing in the park again. Let’s go to the park again tomorrow, okay?” I smiled, stroking Ainsley’s hair gently. “If I am not busy, we’ll definitely go there again.”After breakfast was over, I took them to day

Emma’s POV "Yes, but you didn't tell me the real reason. I heard rumors about a man who keeps following you. Is that true?" He looked at me sharply this time, as if trying to read my mind."That's my business, not yours," I said firmly. I wasn't going to let him pry into my personal affairs. Matthew was always like this, wanting to know more than he should."You know, Emma, I could make your life harder here if I wanted to. I have the power to do that," he threatened, but I just smiled a little."You tried, Matthew, and look where I am now. I'm still here, doing my job well," I replied. I wasn't going to back down just because he tried to scare me.Matthew looked annoyed by my answer. His face turned red, but he tried to hide his emotions by taking a deep breath."Don't be cocky, Emma. Remember, I'm the one calling the shots here. If you don't cooperate, I can easily get rid of you," he said in a lower tone, trying to sound mo

Emma's POVAfter a brief chat with Scarlett, I decided to shift my focus to work. Although the meeting with Matthew was still on my mind, I knew that getting lost at work was the best way to relieve stress. I opened up some documents that I had to review and started typing up a pending report. The hours passed by without me realizing it, and I managed to finish a few important tasks. When lunchtime came, I almost lost track of time. Scarlett suddenly stood beside my desk, snapping me out of it. "Emma, it's lunchtime. You were too engrossed in your work," she said with a smile. I glanced at the clock in the corner of my computer screen and realized that time had indeed flown by quickly. "Really, I didn't even realize it was lunchtime." Scarlett chuckled. "That's how you are when you're focused. Come on, let's go outside for a bit. There's a new restaurant nearby that I've been meaning to try." I nodded in agreement, grabbed

Emma's POVNot long after, our coffee arrived. I tasted the latté, and it immediately warmed my body. Scarlett sipped her cappuccino with a satisfied smile on her face. "It's delicious," I said with a smile, enjoying the sweet taste of the caramel combined with the coffee. "This place is really comfortable." Scarlett nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I like this kind of atmosphere. Quiet, but not too quiet. Perfect for spending time while chatting." We were silent for a moment, each busy enjoying our coffee. However, I could feel Scarlett looking at me as if she had something she wanted to say. I raised an eyebrow, signaling for her to say what was on her mind. "Is there something you want to talk about?" I asked in a light tone. Scarlett put down her coffee cup and looked at me with a more serious expression. "Emma, I wanted to ask you about the man you told me about yesterday. Joseph, right?"My heart started beating a li

Emma's POV The question caught me by surprise. Logan? I’d never thought about it after that brief encounter at the villa. To me, it was nothing more than a chance business meeting. But Scarlett seemed to see it differently.“Scarlett, I haven’t even thought that far,” I said, trying to stay calm. “Besides, why would he be interested in me? I have a child without a husband. A guy like Logan would be looking for someone simpler, without the burdens I have.”Scarlett shook her head slowly. “Don’t underestimate yourself, Emma. I know you might feel like your life is full of challenges, but Logan probably sees something different in you. You’re a strong, independent woman who takes care of four kids wonderfully. That’s not something to be underestimated.”I looked at Scarlett, feeling a little touched by her words. But still, I couldn’t imagine Logan being interested in me. He’s a CEO, his life must be all set, and I… I’m just a single mother struggling ev

Emma's POV That night, after putting the kids to bed, I felt incredibly tired. I lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket up to my chest, and tried to close my eyes. However, even though my body felt so tired, my mind couldn't calm down. The image of Joseph, the man from my past who had now reappeared, kept bothering my mind. Fear, anger, and confusion mixed together, making my heart restless. Finally, whether because I was too tired or because my mind was in chaos, I fell asleep and was trapped in a dream. In that dream, I went back to the past, when I first met Joseph. At that time, he was not the Joseph I know now, but a man full of charm and mystery, captivating me in a way I never expected. I remember that night very clearly in the dream. Joseph looked at me with such a deep gaze, as if he could see into my soul. We talked and laughed, and somehow, our conversation developed into something more. That feeling came back to haunt me, the longing

Emma's POVThey squirmed in bed, reluctant to open their eyes. Adney, who was usually the hardest to wake up, just squirmed deeper into his pillow. But I knew a trick to wake them up. I approached their beds one by one, tickling their little feet. "Come on, wake up, we can play with bubbles in the bathroom," I teased. That was all they needed to wake up. One by one their eyes opened, and bright smiles began to spread across their sleepy faces. "Play with bubbles!" exclaimed Allonza, the most enthusiastic of them. I chuckled and led them to the bathroom. Giving them a bath is one of my favorite moments, even though it can be a bit chaotic sometimes. However, watching them play with bubbles, laughing and splashing water on each other, made all the mess worth it. Water and foam were flying everywhere, but I didn't care. The sound of their laughter was the best medicine to banish any lingering anxiety from last night's nightmare. After they we

Emma's POVI tried to restrain myself, hold my head high, and continue on my way without showing any feelings. I knew I was better than this, and there was no point in dwelling on the past. "Emma?" James' voice suddenly called my name, making me stop for a moment. I could feel him staring at me, waiting for my reaction. I just nodded slowly without looking at him, then continued walking without saying anything. There was no point in engaging in a conversation that would only open old wounds. However, Thea's soft laughter and their affectionate whispers as I turned around made me feel a little hurt, even though I knew I shouldn't care. I entered the office building, trying to ignore the feelings that were still stirring inside me. I tried to convince myself that I had made the right decision by not involving myself in the drama of the past. James was already a part of my old life, and I should focus on the present, on my children, my job,

Emma's POV After making sure all the kids were asleep, I walked into the room and grabbed my phone that was lying on the table. Tiredness was starting to creep up on me, but I felt the need to talk to Scarlett. For the past few days, it seemed like we hadn't spent much time together, and I needed a little cheer. I dialed Scarlett's number and picked it up when she answered. "Hello, Scarlett!" My voice was cheerful, but a little tired. "Hey, Emma! How are you?" Scarlett's voice sounded warm on the other end. "I'm fine. Just finished dinner with the kids. They're very cheerful, as usual," I replied, sitting on the edge of the bed. "That's good to hear! They must make you feel better after all the drama at work." Scarlett sounded enthusiastic, and it warmed my heart to hear her voice. "Yeah, but I'm still tired. And the Logan thing's confusing me too," I said, my voice dropping slightly. "Logan? Still bothering

Emma's POV The journey home felt lighter with their cheerful voices along the way. They kept talking about the animals they wanted to see, the games they wanted to play, and the delicious food they imagined they could try at the tourist attractions. Although tired, I felt grateful to have four children who always made me smile in the midst of all the chaos of life. And I knew that no matter what happened in the future, as long as I had them, everything would be okay. When I arrived home, I was immediately greeted with laughter and screams of joy from my children. They ran around the room holding toys they brought home from daycare. Seeing them excited made my heart flutter. I immediately changed into more casual clothes, distracting myself from the tiring day. After changing, I headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Even though I was tired, nothing was more satisfying to me than cooking for my children. They all loved pasta, so I decided to make

Emma's POV The question hit me hard. Yes, I was thinking about Joseph, the man who always made me feel safe, but I also knew that behind every lie I made to protect my feelings, there was a huge void that no one could fill. Not even Logan. But I couldn't just admit it. I swallowed, hardening my heart. "Yes, you're right, President Logan," I said firmly. "I like another man. And that's why I don't want you to keep bothering me. So, please, stop all this. Stop making me feel special because I don't want it." My words sounded firm, but inside, everything felt like a mess. Logan was silent, saying nothing. His gaze changed—disappointed, hurt, and maybe a little angry. But I knew that what I was doing was the only way to stop this madness. Logan shouldn't get too close to me. I wasn't the one for him. Logan finally nodded, though his eyes still flashed with disbelief. "If that's what you want, Emma," he said, his voice colder than before. "I'll stop."

Logan’s POVI was silent, feeling the weight of this burden on my shoulders. What if Scarlett was right? What if I was going to lose Emma, not because of my past, but because of the lie I’d been hiding?“But what if she can’t forgive me?” I asked, almost in despair.Scarlett smiled thinly. “If she loves you, she’ll understand. But you have to give her the chance to make that decision. You can’t live in fear all the time.”I knew Scarlett was right. I couldn’t live in the shadow of this lie. If I truly loved Emma, I had to give her the truth, no matter how hard it was.Scarlett stared at me for a moment, then took a deep breath. “Logan, you know what you have to do. Don’t waste this chance.”I nodded slowly, feeling my resolve begin to strengthen. Maybe it was time for me to stop hiding. Maybe it was time for me to face the truth, no matter the consequences.Scarlett stood up and straightened her clothes before walkin

Logan's POV "We will be restructuring the team soon, and starting today, Scarlett will be appointed general manager to replace Matthew." The room fell silent. Everyone looked shocked. Emma's eyes widened, and Scarlett looked like she couldn't believe what I had just said. "President Logan..." Scarlett finally said in a shaky voice, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "Is... this final?" I didn't budge. "Yes. It's final." "But why me?" Scarlett asked again, her eyes staring at me with a confused look as if she didn't want to believe what she had just heard. "And why now? There was no warning, no prior discussion." "Scarlett," I said in a colder tone. "You know this company needs a leader who can make quick decisions. You're the right person for that." She was still looking at me with doubt, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see Emma looking confused and a little anxious t

Emma's POVI opened my office door with shaking hands, trying to calm myself after what happened earlier. My head was still full of all the commotion that happened, but I couldn't let it bother me any longer. As I stepped into the room, my gaze fell on my desk, which was usually my sanctuary, but this time it felt like a burden. I sat down on the chair, took a deep breath, and tried to think clearly, but my head was filled with voices colliding with each other.A moment later, my office door opened slowly, and Scarlett walked in. Her expression immediately changed when she saw my face which must have looked confused."Emma, what happened outside?" Scarlett asked, her eyes full of worry. "I heard the commotion, and everyone was talking about you."I took a deep breath, feeling the weight on my chest getting heavier as I had to tell this again. "Thea came… and she slapped me in front of everyone," I said, still not believing that it really happene

Emma's POVWhen Logan pulled my hand, I could only stare for a few seconds. The atmosphere around me felt so foreign, even though I had just arrived at the office a few minutes ago. And suddenly, Thea came attacking me like a storm. Then Logan appeared, like a hero protecting the victim, but I was not a victim, and I didn't want him to protect me like this. Especially with the way he handled the situation earlier, telling Thea to leave and then canceling the business cooperation. It was too much.I pulled my hand from his grip, and the feelings that were boiling in my chest immediately exploded."President Logan, what are you doing?" I asked in a firm tone, trying to calm myself even though my blood was still boiling. My eyes looked directly into his calm eyes. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the head office?"Logan was surprised to see my attitude. He frowned, then said calmly, "I was going to continue the problem here, but then I saw Thea

Thea’s POV"He... he slapped me, Logan," I said, my voice shaking. "I don't know what I did to make her mad." My lie slipped out of my mouth, and I saw Logan's gaze change. But before he could react, a doctor came in with water and wet towels, trying to tend to me. Meanwhile, Emma seemed rooted to the spot, not knowing what to say. Maybe she knew that no matter what happened next, everyone here already saw her as the bad guy. I had won, at least for now. I looked up at Logan's face, hoping he would show more sympathy. But Logan's expression was not what I expected. Instead, there was something different in his eyes, a coldness I had never seen before. When he finally spoke, his voice was firm, and surprisingly, it was not worry that came out of it, but cynicism. "Thea, you don't have to pretend anymore," he said flatly, releasing his grip on my arm roughly, causing my body to fall back slightly. I was shocked. What was this?

Thea's POVI swaggered into the lobby of the *City of Men* branch, my high heels clicking loudly on the marble floor, drawing the attention of several employees. Let them stare, I wanted everyone to know that I wasn't playing around. Straightening my back and lifting my chin, I searched for the person who had made me lose my mind."Emma!" I shouted loudly, my voice echoing throughout the room.Several people stopped talking and stared at me. I didn't care. My anger was already at its peak, and I wasn't going to let that woman get away this time. Where was she? Where was the woman who tried to ruin my life?Just then, the elevator doors opened, and there she stood. Emma. With her calm appearance, she seemed unfazed by my arrival, but that only made my anger worse. How could she be so calm after trying to take Logan away from me? Our eyes met, and I could see the shock on her face.Without thinking, I walked closer, each step strengthening
