Leena's POV

“I rushed down here as soon as I got your call.” He said impatiently as he took his seat across from me on the table. I shrugged, pulling my purse.

“Thank you for coming,” I mumbled as though I wasn't comfortable.

For the first time, words felt so hard to construct and escape from my mouth.

I didn't know how to start and what he might classify me as but somehow, I needed to say something and not keep him wondering in silence.

“So, is there a problem? I mean you wouldn't call if there is none.” He commented and I smirked.

“It's about my children and me.” I began skeptically.

He adjusted closer to the seat. “I'm all ears, please speak.” His eyes clouded with anxiety as he spoke.

Was he this anxious to claim his children back?

Right now, I couldn't fall for his trap as he wasn't any different.

“We are accepting you back into our lives.” I spilled bluntly and his eyes widened in disbelief.

“Really? Don't joke with me!” He asked impatiently and I nodded.

“Yes but will you let m

    James' POVImmediately after I received her text message, I went straight to the address she sent without sorting my schedule or bothering about any other things.“[Leena: Come to the address below. This is our new home.]”Inwardly, I knew the reason she moved out was because of Sean but I couldn't tell what exactly he did to her nor would she ever confide in me and spill the beans.I also wished it would be the last time they crossed paths with each other so I could have freedom with my kids.I felt so giddy and anxious as I stepped on the throttle as I couldn't waste more time on the road. I didn't know when she might change her mind again because she had suddenly turned unpredictable.My phone started ringing and I picked up the call, connecting it to my earphones.“Boss.” It was Harry and he sounded anxious.“Yes?” I didn't hear his voice. “Umm, I took off early without letting you know, hope that isn't a problem,” I asked rhetorically.“Of course it is, boss.” He sighed sadly. “Y

    James' POV“If you keep staring that way, your eyes might fall off.” She called my attention back as I slowly faced her.“I didn't expect him to be here so fast,” I muttered nervously.“You shouldn't concern yourself with that.” She shunned me as we walked upstairs.She led the way, heading to our son's bedroom.“Well, don't you think it's ridiculous that you are keeping two men to yourself?” I asked sarcastically and she stopped before the door, blocking my path.“I have nothing with Sean. We are done.” She said seriously.“Then, why was he here?” I asked anxiously, curling my lips.“To beg, just like you did and is still doing.” She said, obviously mocking me and I smirked.“I know I begged for this chance at least my begging paid off.” I rolled my eyes.“What if his begging pays off just like yours?” She curled her lips with a sharp scoff and I felt like she was teasing me.I smirked.“I won't give him that chance,” I said under my nose, knowing fully well that she heard me.“Let's

    James’ POVThe fact that she really wanted me to stay but I couldn’t annoy me the most. Things were slowly getting steamy between us if Harry hadn’t called and I knew it was an emergency else he wouldn’t have sent such a message.“What do you mean by the message you sent earlier?” I asked him anxiously as I increased the car's speed. My eyes were also fixed on the road.“I can’t predict your stepmother but you know better what she can do especially to startle your father up,” Harry explained skeptically on the phone.“It’s alright. Stay alert. I will give you a call if need be.” I said seriously on the phone.“Boss, are you heading to the family house right now?” He asked courteously.“Yes, it’s high time that I do.” And with that, I ended the call.I arrived at the family mansion and curbed my car at the parking space. I saw familiar cars already parked and I knew who had those.I rushed into the mansion and saw my stepmother and her sons discussing with my father in the living room.

I wanted to grab a nap since I had been busy since morning with some affairs.I grumpily picked up my phone from the bedside table and looked at the screen.My vision was still blurry so it was difficult to see the caller’s name so I randomly accepted the call.“Yes…” Who told me my sleepy voice was romantic because I sounded like a frog.“Leena.” His voice pulled me out of my daze as everything became clear.“Are you sleeping?” He made a comeback as I quickly sat upright on the bed.Gosh!“No, I wasn’t.” It was hard to hide the fact.“I have been calling for more than an hour now.” He informed me politely.“I was downstairs. I left my phone in the room.” I paused, realizing I was going too far with my explanation.Why was I trying to explain my actions? Then, I rolled my eyes.“Do we have a business together if not, I’m ending this call,” I said seriously, as if that was what I truly wanted.“Hold on, I wanted to thank you

I’m Stacy.” She introduced herself steadily.“Nice to meet you.”“Would you like to book a room for the night before we start exploring tomorrow morning?” She asked me courteously.“I already booked a room online before coming here. I’m Leena.” I said, reminding her and she almost gasped.“Oh! You are Miss. Leena. We thought you wouldn’t come since it was almost past twenty-four hours since you booked the flight.” She informed me politely.“It’s alright. I also didn’t know the trip would be so long.” I flashed her a smile and she nodded.“Alright. You booked a room with two extra beds for your kids.” She asked, raising a slight brow.“Ye

I’m taking this woman with me.” Stacy informed him in a cold tone.“Sean, be careful.” I didn’t know why I cared about him but at least, since he was protecting me, it was the least I could do.“Everything is being recorded.

All connections broke off.” I rambled with words nervously.“Umm… I became a transferred student into his university and that was how we met.” Ashley informed me shyly.“Wow.” I gasped.“Yeah, I couldn't believe I would meet her again.

    “[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

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.

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?

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

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
