Days turned into weeks and then week's finally turned into months and then those months grew into years and my children were growing so well Taylor and Tommy. It was as if in one second they had been helpless little babies that I held in my arms and breastfed with my milk looking into their deep blue eyes and then the next thing they were toddlers running around in the kitchen and playing like there was no tomorrow they really grow up so fast it's practically flashed through my eyes my grandmother was delighted now that she was a great grandmother and she would have kept them for the rest of her life. However I had become uneasy there was something that have been troubling me even when I was the same as my kids, there was something that was still troubling me and that was my parents I had never known my own parents and when they will casually ask about their father from time to time it was as if it was triggering the trauma that I had in my childhood because I didn't even know eithe
CALISTA'S POV "Are you really sure you want to go?" My grandmother asked me for the millionth time the next day when I was already packed and zipped up and my kids were already dressed as well for the journey that was awaiting us. "Then you should at least leave the kids behind don't you think it will be better that way?" I could see that she was going to miss all of us, especially her great-grandchildren but I would feel calmer knowing that my children were with me. I left my bag on the bed after zipping it up and then I walked over to her and hugged her. "Grandmother thank you for these past 5 years. I don't know what I would have done without you," she hugged me back and stroked my hair lovingly, and then said to me. "Take care of yourself and my great-grandkids okay? And don't let that man play you again, you hear me?" "I know that…" I said and smiled. "Don't worry he won't even see my shadow or that of my kids either," That was my plan as I was returning to the Twilig
Calista POV The excitement that had been building in me before immediately crumbled to that like a pack of cards that had been blown by the wind and I didn't know where to go next so I just returned back to Northwood city I thought to myself. But I had already come so far and I had already spent so much money so I decided that I was going to keep looking but in the meantime, I was just looking up at the building wishing that it was still the one that my grandmother had directed me to. An elderly man that was part of security so that I was standing like a statue and decided to check up on me he asked me if I was okay and I immediately turned to him snapping my head in his direction and after a while, I managed to drive a smile on my face and I added that everything was fine. The elderly man looked at me knowingly and then he responded to my lie by saying "I know that you probably don't think I'll be able to do much for you but you seem very worried if there is anything I can do at
CALISTA POVThe man took only one good look at me and I knew that he saw it, the resemblance between me and his wife and some features that are also taken from him as well. He turned around and said it to me "come to my office," I gave the secretary a look and she was just staring at me with shock her jaw to the floor but I didn't bother to explain with anything more than a shrug and adding; " I told you it was important," And then I followed the man that was my biological father into his office. He entered his swivel chair and sat down comfortably for a while. We did not say anything to each other and he was just staring at his glass desk. Then I finally broke the silence because it was getting suffocating."Are you planning to say anything to me eventually or are we just going to have a staring contest with the wall all day?" he finally looked up and then he got up from his chair and approached me when I saw that he was getting too close I instinctively stepped back and I co
Calista POV "Mummy, is grandfather taking us out today again?" Tommy asked cheerfully as he kicked his feet, swinging them along with his new red shoes back and forth. I smiled immediately as I was frying the bacon and looked back at my kids one more time. "Didn't you guys go out yesterday?" I asked with my smile still on my face Taylor pouted when I said this. "Yes but grandpa said he was going to take us to an amazement park!" Hot wing Tommy reached over his empty plate and tapped her on her wrist shaking his head. "it's not amazement park it's ammusment…"He said, also kind of saying it incorrectly as well. I turned back laughing so much my head was also flown back as well. While I loved seeing my kids connecting with their grandfather, sometimes I felt like I was an odd third wheel since twins practically run like one person. The inner child inside of me was still looking for my attention for my dad and then there was also the adult parents part of me that wanted to spend t
GREYSON'S POV "Sir, do you really want you to cancel our meeting with the board of directors?" My secretary asked me for the tenth or so time and I nodded again. "Yes, there's a problem that I have to go and take care of personally…" I said with a frown on my face as I flung my coat on my back and shove my hands through until I was wearing it completely, I had just gotten a call from an acquaintance of mine and he told me that there was misbehaving any restaurant that was practically at the other side of town. It was already bad enough dealing with her on a daily basis and I couldn't imagine somebody else having to endure that as well and so immediately got my chauffeur and drove there at the speed of light to whisked her away, in order to get there even faster I told my chauffeur to take a shortcut but going on locally we were stuck in traffic even though we had gone to that side of town. However I really couldn't consider it unlucky that I was being spared from seeing that in
GREYSON'S POV She went to a company that I've been hearing a lot about recently but I have not paid too much attention to them because obviously, I was busy running on my own. I rushed after her and took the stairs while she took the elevator and soon I realized that she was heading towards the CEO office and I stood at the entrance as I was watching her argue with who appeared to be the secretary. Just then a voice penetrated my ears, a voice that I can recognize even if I heard it 100 years later and my heart raced my muscles tighten instantly on the spot it was the man that had killed my mate. I would have immediately gone over and split his head from his body if it wasn't for the fact that my wife was there and so I held myself back and immediately left the place because I knew as if I stayed for any longer… I wouldn't be able to control myself and my self-discipline was going to give up on me and I will do something that will scar my mate's eyes forever. I could never forg
CALISTA'S POV I was not happy in my foot with impatience and confusion as I looked around to see if my father was going to be appearing anytime soon and my twins also seem to be impatient on the bench that we were sitting out here going to get them some cotton candy and now he was nowhere to be found it but he lost all his way to find us here again? For a brief foolish moment, I imagined that he was never going to come back again and that he would just leave my life like that. He has lied about the cotton candy and he just wanted to get as far away as you could from me. Of course, those ridiculous thoughts were quiet when I saw him heading over but he didn't have the cotton candy with him anymore and he looked quite shaken. His face was pale and he had grown about 20 years older since the last time I saw him. "Dad, did something happen?" I asked him immediately as I was standing up from the bench and he also saw his grandkids standing up as well rushing over to him. I'm standing b
Epilogue Calista pov "Kids don't get so close to the water!" "Don't worry Mom, we aren't that close!" I eased my back into my reclining chair with a groan. "Gosh, they can be so stubborn at times... I wonder who they take it from," I said looking at my husband and he smiled back at me his eyes sparkling through his sunglasses. "Come on, sweetheart, you know they take it from the both of us." "Actually..." I was about to deny it and then just resigned to my fate trying to enjoy the sun at the beach, my eyes straight over to the beach as I saw my three children friends playing together and the sight alone was enough to make my heart immediately bubble-up with joy. When I was much younger I remembered Bella and her parents getting ready for the beach but I was never allowed to come with them on the rare occasion that I was actually allowed to come along. It was just to be their maid. I honestly thought that I would never have a family of my own. I sighed, this was going to mak
Calista povI was really planning to wait for the police but that was until I heard the cry of my children coming from inside the warehouse that I had traced Bella's phone to. Unable to hold myself back anymore I decided to enter inside of the warehouse through a back entrance. I had actually been familiar with this place before when I had first married my husband, however the business here had eventually collapsed and it was abandoned so I knew a secret entrance in the back way.The place was now so abandoned that trees were even going around it and it looked like a miniature wood, this proves to be in my advantage eventually because when I went to the back I was able to pick up a dead branch and then when I saw some thugs that wear circulating around the place probably as good as I was able to knock both of them cold with the branch that I had the second one proved to be a bit of a problem so I had to hit him a couple of times but when I checked out he was still breathing.My throat
Grey povAt my very last breath I told my brother to leave because I was not going to tolerate any of his nonsense anymore however instead of shutting up right there I'm turning around while he stroke his head what he just said to is something I could not bring out of my head he then said that there was no need for me to be in denial that Calista had never been satisfied by me and so she went over to see a real man that could do it.And that was indeed the last straw that broke the camel's back the next thing that happened was that I instantly zoomed over my office until I was standing right in front of him and before he could even blink his eyes I grabbed him and pulled it up squeeze his neck so tight that he could barely even breathe and he was kicking his legs about but I just kept on squeezing him my mind was telling me that if I just put in a little more effort his oxygen supply will be completely cut off and then he will just die.Revenge that had been driving me for what felt l
Grey's pov Even when I was keeping an expressionless face everything inside of me was telling me to brush this woman's head against the side of the wall but it's that I was somehow able to keep myself and I remembered everything that Calista had told me about how I was always losing my temper but this was a lot for a man to bare and when she finally said that the children beautiful twins that Calista were not actually mine. I was ready to squash her skull at this point then Calista came forward with her hands planted on her hips and then she asked Bella what was the source of that horrible accusation that was when she presented the contents of the envelope stating that it was a DNA result between me and the children and then she said that it was more than enough proof to show that I was not the father of them. I took the envelope and I looked at the contents then after I was done doing so I really began to shred the paper up as if it was nothing and so it this woman was nothing mo
Calista povThe fury that was coming out of him right now could be felt from a mile away and I thought that I was going to suffocate by just looking at him I have seen my husband angry before ulcer of many of the times does anger was directed at me but I had never seen him this furious this bloodthirsty and I knew that stiff look in his eyes he wasn't joking at all when he said that he was going to kill both his twin brother and Bella. But I just couldn't let that happen because nobody would even care about the crimes that have been committed behind the closed door if he killed them rather the only thing that will be advertised on was the murder that everyone was going to witness because I seriously doubt it when he said that he was going to murder them even if they were in a public place or not with the way his eyes were burning with fury which was exactly why I could not let him go.I tried to tell him that they were definitely going to get what's coming to them and then we began t
Calista pov The drive back to the palace was not as quiet as the one into my father's house because as soon as we were far enough from my father's house Gray asked me what my plan was after we had gotten all the information we needed on Bella, and she eventually got the punishment that she deserved.I was looking out the window screen at that moment when he asked the question trying to ignore him but I decided that if I didn't answer him he was just going to keep talking about it throughout the entire ride back to the palace so admitted to him that I was going to have a simple life with my kids and raise them alone he almost packed abruptly if it wasn't for observation that we were in a busy road then his eyes were over to me as he asked me what I meant by that. I looked at him straight in the eyes and told him that I meant every single word that I said and I seriously doubted that it needed any kind of explanation.His voice suddenly rose not in anger but it was definitely rising, h
Calista povI really miss to the days that I see my children all the time at least I didn't have to wait for literally weeks before I could look at them it could be a handful at times but when I didn't see them like this always feel anxious it was only the fact that they were under the care of their grandfather that made me able to sleep at night if not I would have been so troubled if they were actually in this Palace with Bella next door.After realizing that this woman was actually capable of poisoning her own son it would be no surprise to me at all if she attempted the same thing on my children and I was not going to let her get the chance to do something so horrible.While we were leaving the palace Grey said that we should take one of his less more conspicuous cars and that he was going to drive I really didn't care who drove as long as we got to see my children then when we8 approaching the car he went ahead of me and open the door to the front seat I just passed him by and we
Calista pov "I'm going to see my children today," I told Grey. He responded by his face contouring up with confusion though I don't understand what was so perplexing about what I just said. I had come to his room with the intention of taking his laundry to wash while I was actually there to tell him that I was going to see my children that very day. There was also another reason why I came here but this was one I was telling him about for now.He have been looking at me so expectantly the moment I walked in as if he was expecting me to jump right into the bed with him I could even see how he was intentionally closing on the way to attract me so I intentionally kept my eyes away from him but the time I was actually looking at him he seemed so frustrated but I was ignoring him."Don't you think it will be better if we visit the kids together?" He said suggestively and I mused on his idea then after a couple of seconds I shook my head negatively showing that I was not interested in tha
Calista pov The next day did not go exactly how as we planned it it was almost as if we have forgotten that the nanny was supposed to take care of the son because that was the worst timing possible the child fell sick, meaning that she was not allowed to leave his side for the entire day as he was not going to school so she would have to cater for his needs the whole day.The night before I had actually given her my number in the living room so that we will be able to communicate without meeting each other physically and avoiding the situation where I have to hide in the wardrobe from Bella she called me and it seemed as if she was about to burst into tears when she confessed that the child had suddenly fallen ill and she had to take care of him for the whole day.Just like that the time that I have been relying on since last night after she was shouted at by Bella but then I asked her to explain exactly what Bella did as usual she was a little hesitant but this time it was easier fo
