James' POVAnd that was how our two little demons changed overnight.“What will you have for the morning?” I asked the kids calmly as they took their sit on the dining chairs.“Anything. Because of your busy schedule, we will have cereal.” Kelvin said and Ashley nodded in adjournment.“I thought you said cereals aren't good for breakfast?” Leena curled her lips, obviously teasing them as she strolled in.“Not anymore. Cereals are good for kids.” Ashley said while nodding her head.“Fine then.” She sighed.“I heard our final year result is out. I have to go and check for mine and also find out the date for our convocation.” She informed us calmly.“Congratulations auntie!” The children said cheerfully.“But, I thought you can check your results from home.” I asked her cryptically.“Online right? Well, the dean found out that some people bribe the CBT men and also hack the online site. So, it had been banned for the meantime. We have to manually check our results from now on.” She expla
Leena's POV“Let me see mine! Let me see mine!” From the administrative block down to the lecture hall way, noise and chatter from students filtered in the air as everyone was anxious to see their result.Excluding final year students, second year and third year student’s results were also updated so they were present to check their score which made the hallway tight and crowded.“What? F!” I heard a gasp from one of my course mates as I got closer to our result board.“Look who we have here. The billionaire's wife.” Lily rolled her eyes to me and everyone stopped checking their results and faced me.She always loves creating scenes.“Do you really have to come check your result as ordinary people like us do? I mean, your husband has all the right to bribe the school board in giving you a pass.” One of my course mates said curtly as she shrugged.“Too bad, my education life has nothing to do with my husband's wealth.” I said slyly as my brows fluttered, I also crossed my arms.Since t
James' POV“Uncle! Uncle! Wait for us.” Ashley and Kelvin ran after me as we walked to the garage in the city children's park.“Boss, did you…” Harry approached me, looking anxious and I stopped him with my hand in the air.“Yes, I saw it.” I said.“Send the kids to the mansion, I will be heading to the family house.” I instructed him seriously.“Boss, will you be fine alone?” Harry asked, looking worried.“Yes. I will be fine.” I assured him with a warm smile.“Alright kids.” I bent down, staring at their anxious eyes.“By now, your auntie is back home so you won't be lonely anymore.” I began and they listened to me without bombarding me with questions.“When you get home, be quiet and don't do anything to annoy your auntie, alright?” I asked them calmly and they nodded their heads.“Yes uncle.” They said in unison.“There is an emergency I have to attend to, so your Uncle Harry will send you back home.” I informed them.“Uncle, will you get us something sweet on your way back home?”
Leena's POV“Both of you are getting me scared.” I shrugged, facing them as they stared at me with an expressionless facial expression.“Why do you say so, auntie?” Ashley asked calmly.I knew they had changed from their annoying attitude but their demeanor tonight was cold and somewhat unavoidable.“You left the house with my husband to have fun which means you must be hungry. Let me make something for you to eat.” I suggested warmly and they shook their heads.“Sister, we are not hungry.” They said in unison like children whom their parents had warned never to eat from a stranger.I swallowed hard, closing my eyes briefly.“Did something happen?” I asked cryptically, staring at them seriously.They exchanged knowing stares before facing me again.“We are like this because of what uncle said to us.” Ashley muttered sadly.“Why? What did he say?” I asked anxiously.Did he humiliate me in public and also made the children feel bad?This had added to the anger I had for him.“Uncle said
James' POVI was moved to the VIP hospital room meant for Wellson’s family.“James! James!” I heard Leena's voice as soon as the room door slid open and she rushed in.“Le…” I trailed off when she hugged me tightly, burying her face on my chest.I assume she forgot I was a patient.“How are you feeling now?” She asked anxiously, staring into my eyes.Behind her were my father and stepfamily, Harry and the children.I scanned her face and noticed some red lines on them.“Who did this to you?” I questioned in annoyance.“This is not important. I was afraid and scared, what happened to you?” She rambled with words, looking concerned and I smirked.“I think I'm fine. Though the doctor said I can't be out of bed for the meantime. My leg almost got crippled.” I explained rashly to her and she sniffled, nodding her head.“Hubby, I told you he will be fine. You didn't have to leave the house.” Madam Charity's voice caused me to narrow my gaze to their direction.“You are right.” My father nod
Leena's POVAs much as I was worried, I couldn't help the fact that he wanted me away from him. Was he scared?At this rate, it wasn't advisable for him to stay on his own as it could lead him to a traumatic state.But James was a strong man, he could cope on his own. Why was I concerned and restless?I drank the water from the glass as my eyes dropped at the calendar.It was today.Ashley will be leaving our mansion and it will turn into a graveyard.Once she leaves, it would only take a matter of two weeks before Kelvin would leave for his studies.Would he miss her? For one thing, I knew he would miss a game partner and a movie partner.Since she came, he had been more outspoken and lively. It made me forget the sickler brother I once had.“Why am I thinking too much tonight?” I muttered to myself as I sluggishly walked to my room.Entering the living room, I spotted their coats on the armchair.“These children.” I smiled as I picked it up and advanced to their room.What would I
James' POVFLASH BACK…The hospital room suddenly became quiet and dark with little light. I checked the wall clock beside me and it was 1:35am.Suddenly, the hospital room door slowly slid as someone walked in - trying to be quiet so he wouldn't be spoked.He wore a complete black outfit including hand gloves and a nose mask.I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep as the person walked closer to me.I assume since they heard I was bedridden, they wanted to act fast.The person started unplugging the drip connection and turning off some box which wasn't connected to me.It was turned on but the doctor didn't use them on me since they weren't necessary.As the person tried to pull the string connected to my hand, I grabbed his hand and quickly turned on the light.“Catch you!” I said with a loud voice and the person widened his eyes in shock while my jaw dropped.He was the least I expected to do such a thing.PRESENTLY…Was he paid by my stepmother? What was his reason for doing wha
Leena's POVInwardly, I knew I might be doing the wrong thing but I honestly wanted to give it a try.I wanted to forget about his awful past and accept him as a husband who was willing to protect me and change for the better.I was human. I had emotions and packed with it are my hormones.He was a charming young man and no matter how I tried to send him away, the fact remained that I didn't want him to do it with another woman and I wanted to be claimed.We have been together for more than seven months.We have known each other like the back of our palms.We have passed through thick and thin together and it's only right that he slept with me.All these months, I didn't know about him but for me, I had been controlling my emotions. We rarely kissed and sleeping together sounded like a taboo.Tonight, all that was in my mind was breaking that rule.We were married. It was normal for two married couples to have sex. We haven't consummated our wedding so this was the right thing to do.
“[BREAKING NEWS: Mr. and Mrs. Sean were the victims of an explosion around the isolated part of the city, the cause of the explosion is yet…]” Almost all the television, radios, and phones were announcing the same news. “How did this happen?” Leena's mother rushed into the emergency ward. “How come? How did something like this happen to both of them?” Leena's father asked anxiously as anxiety lingered in his eyes. “That shouldn't be our problem now.” Sean's father cried out. “What do you mean?” Leena's mother stared at him intently. “Only Sean's body was found at the explosion scene.” He paused. “Leena…. Leena…” He continued stuttering. “What are you implying?” Leena's father's lips started trembling. “Leena's body wasn't found.” Sean's mother spilled bluntly and the latter gasped in shock. It felt like they were electrocuted as they didn't speak or move for minutes. “Leena!!! How? Why?” Leena's mother wailed as she rambled with several questions. “We don't know. Sean barely
Leena's POV “Lawrence, I mean it when I said my children are under your care.” I began. “My parents and Sean's parents or someone else might come to make things difficult for you but as long as I'm not reachable, you've all the right to my children,” I said seriously. “You are confusing and serious, Leena. Is something going on?” He asked anxiously, raising a brow. “Everything is fine.” I placed a hand on his shoulder. “Thank you for everything. From beginning till the end, I truly appreciate it.” I said, forcing out a smile. “Thanks for trusting me.” He said courteously with a short bow. “Did you bring the car and prepare all that I told you to?” I asked him impatiently and he sighed. “I can't believe I did something like this.” He paused. “I trust you are sending this over to someone else, if not, I will blame myself forever if something happens to you.” He said sadly and I smirked. “I'm just trying to set things the way they were in the past. It's never your fault.” I assur
Leena's POV “Who are you?” And when he came out fully, I gave him a scornful look. “Who am I?” I smirked. “Has it gotten to the time when you can't recognize me?” I questioned him in disgust. “My apologies, I didn't see you clearly,” Harry said courteously. “Where is your boss? Where is James?” I fired at him anxiously. “He is not around at the moment.” He said, lowering his face to the ground and I knew he was lying. “I know that brat is in there. James! James! James!” I started banging at the gate again in anger. “Open this gate and let me in!” I barked at his face. “I'm sorry but I was asked not to open the gate for you.” He said randomly. “Harry, your boss is doing something evil! He is ruining my family. Will you still try to protect him till the end?” I asked him, raising a brow and he shook his head. “Please, leave Mrs. Sean.” He said coldly. “I can't believe you. All of you are evil. I won't let any of you go scout-free.” I cried bitterly. “Mrs. Sean, please leave n
Leena's POV “James! James, you bastard! Come out here and atone for your sins!” I screamed while banging the gate. This had been going on for more than two hours yet he wasn't in sight. Was he ignoring me? He ruined Sean. He ruined my family and gave us sleepless nights. Why was he so wicked? “How did we get here?” I cried out with all my veins showing through my neck as I collapsed to the ground. As my eyes closed, old memories rushed through like adrenaline. I couldn't control or help it as I cried profusely. Sharp Flashback - “You're here.” He walked confidently to my corner and handed me a bunch of roses. I smiled. “Wow, thank you.” I gushed. “Come with me.” I took his hand as he walked me up to the round table. My eyes met with the plate on the table, a small cupcake was in the center and the chef designed a love shape around it. At the sides of the shape, there was a short note. “Be Mine Forever.” I was taken aback, flustered, and shocked. “James…’’ I trailed of
Leena's POV “Officer, I can't believe you fell for those words he stated. He is lying!” I couldn't control my emotions as I yelled at the police officer in anger. “What do you mean?” He scoffed. “I know the man I married. James would and will never have any twins!” I said seriously. “But he showed us evidence and everything. He also had an alibi that made it hard for us to point him as the victim.” He rashly explained to me. “Am I blind or something? How come for so many years when I was married to him, I never heard of or seen his so-called twin brother? Why are you falling for these lies? I mean, you can even ask around to know if this is true!” I rambled with words in annoyance, firing several questions at them. “We are sorry, Mrs. Sean. We have to follow this case slowly. Besides, he has good connections and I'm afraid of losing my job.” He said skeptically and I smirked. “What? So, you are trying to save your head rather than bringing justice to me? Where is my detective? W
James' POV “I knew from the start that both of you are good-for-nothing pigs!” I yelled at their faces in anger as they buried their faces on the ground. “We… we are sorry boss.” They stuttered. “I warned you, didn't I? I told you not to insert bullets in the guns as we are only going to scare them!” I reminded them in disgust. “We are sorry boss but…” they trailed off when the door of the warehouse made a loud noise. My father approached us with a deep mischievous laugh. “I told them to do so.” He spilled bluntly and my jaw dropped. “What?” It was too hard to believe and the only way to protect my emotion was to act clueless. “I told them to pull the trigger if Leena or her so-called husband refused to hand over my grandchildren.” He informed me seriously and I scoffed in disbelief. “Father!” I cried out sadly as a big frown took residence on my face. “What?” He gave me a scornful look. “We can't afford to hurt anyone or play dirty.” I reminded him seriously. “This is my g
Sean's POV “How is my daughter?”“How is he? What's going on?”Leena's parents rushed into the emergency ward, looking anxious and worried.“She…” I held my head with my palm, feeling devasted.“She is still in the operating room,” I informed them sadly.“Why? Isn't it taking too long?” Her mother panicked.“It is. It is but I can't barge in, can I?” I raised an anxious brow.“How did this happen? You were impatient over the phone so we didn't get the full details.” Her father's voice came up, staring at me.“We were at home, thinking about how to tighten our safety since I wasn't comfortable with the kidnap case.” I began.“I was shocked when I heard he had broken the mansion gate with his men.” I sighed heavily.“Everything happened so fast and it was only the sound of the gun that brought me back to earth,” I explained meticulously and they shook their heads in disbelief.“That brat has grown so bold!” Her mother gnashed her teeth.“He pushed my daughter to this state, does he thin
Jane's POV“Father! Father!” I screamed in anger as I stormed into my father's office, holding a newspaper.I just received the worst news of my life and he was at fault.My father seemed to be busy as a brunette sat on his desk while they engaged in a steamy lustful affair.My eyes blazed in anger as I watched my father passionately kissing another lady who wasn't my mother and moaning, the lady's legs were wrapped around his waist.“Go get a room if you don't know what they call dignity!” I yelled at him in anger and they flinched.“Where are your manners? Can't you knock?” He quickly arranged his trousers and shirt as he took his seat.The brunette picked up her clothes lying on the floor and rushed out of his office.I turned my gaze back at my father.“Why should I knock? Does this place look like a hotel to you?” I questioned him in disgust.“Why are you here? You always like interrupting my peaceful moments!” He yelled at my face but I rolled my eyes.“You can screw all the wome
James' POV“Arghh!!!” I screamed at the top of my voice as I charged over the guards.“You bastard!” I grabbed the first one by his collar and punched him in anger.“I told you to fucking keep watch and make sure you don't escape! Are you deaf!” As I spoke, I grabbed the other one and pushed him to the ground.“We… we are sorry, boss.” They trembled on the floor.“How dare you! You should have been careful!” I was so enraged that their apology did nothing more than irritate me.“I paid you enough and fed you for these few days! You grew stupid because I failed to tame you!” I picked up hard wood on the floor and spanked them in anger.They winced in pain, falling to the ground.“You have less than one hour to atone for your sin, otherwise I can't assure you of keeping your life,” I informed them curtly before storming out of the warehouse.I was angry because this was the first task my father had given me since the time my mother died.He wanted to fight with me until I got what was mi
