The Fragments Of Our Marriage Missing Twins
The words echoed in my ears, like a bomb detonating in my mind: "Your kids have been kidnapped."For a moment, the world around me dissolved into chaos. My heart stopped, then started pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest. The phone slipped from my hand, clattering onto the floor as a scream tore from my throat. "My kids!" I shrieked, my legs giving way before I caught myself. The walls of my house blurred as tears clouded my vision. Zayn was suddenly at my side, his face etched with concern. “Aurora! What’s wrong? Talk to me!” “My kids,” I sobbed, staggering toward the door, my mind spinning. “They’ve been kidnapped!”“ Your kids ?” He looked at me shocked but that wasn’t even important for me . Zayn froze for a second, but then his hands gripped my shoulders firmly. “Aurora, stop. You can’t drive like this. Let me drive you.” I barely registered his words, but I didn’t fight him. My body felt like it was moving on autopilot as Zayn steered me toward h

Derek drove me home in silence, the air in the car thick with tension. My mind was racing, each second without my children feeling like an eternity. I couldn’t think straight, my thoughts bouncing between fear, guilt, and the overwhelming need to do something. Anything. When we pulled up to the house, I saw Liz pacing near the front door. The moment I stepped out, she ran toward me. “Aurora! What’s going on?” she demanded, grabbing my arm. “Are the kids okay? What happened?” Tears welled up in my eyes again as I shook my head. “They’re gone, Liz,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “The master called. They’ve been kidnapped.” Liz’s face turned ashen, and she pressed a hand to her chest. “Kidnapped? How—who—?” She couldn’t even finish the question, her panic mirroring my own. “I don’t know,” I said, my voice rising in desperation. “I was with Zayn when the call came. I don’t know what happened or who could have done this!” “Zayn?” Liz asked, confused. “You mean—” “Zayn from

Zayn sat in his study, the soft hum of the fireplace in the background doing little to soothe his restless mind. Across from him, his closest friend and confidant, Kael, lounged in one of the leather armchairs, sipping a glass of whiskey. Kael had always been the one Zayn could confide in, but tonight, the air between them was heavy with unspoken thoughts.Zayn leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped tightly. “I think Aurora has children,” he blurted out, breaking the silence.Kael raised an eyebrow, setting his glass down on the table. “Children? With Derek?”Zayn nodded, running a hand through his hair. “It seems like it. She didn’t explicitly say it, but there was something about the way she spoke. And Derek…he showed up. The way he acted around her—it’s obvious. They must have kids together.”Kael leaned back in his chair, studying Zayn carefully. “Did you see the kids? Or are you just assuming?”Zayn shook his head. “I didn’t see them. She didn’t let me int
Last Updated : 2024-11-29The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Week of Agony
It had been a week—a week of pure agony since my children disappeared. The days blurred into nights, and I could no longer tell the difference between the two. Every minute felt like an eternity. My mind was a prison, trapping me in an endless loop of fear and guilt. I sat on the living room floor, clutching one of their little stuffed animals to my chest. It still smelled like them—like sunshine and laughter and everything good in my life. I inhaled deeply, hoping to feel their presence, but it only made the ache in my chest sharper. "Aurora," Liv's soft voice broke through my fog. She knelt beside me, her hand gently resting on my shoulder. "You need to eat something, please." I shook my head, my voice hoarse from screaming and crying. "I can’t, Liv. How can I eat when I don’t know where they are? What if they’re hungry? What if they’re scared?" Liv sighed, her face etched with worry. She had been by my side every single day, trying to hold me together when I was falling apa

Zayn was sitting in his room, staring at the half-empty glass of whiskey in his hand. The silence in the room was heavy, broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioner. His thoughts were scattered, unable to focus on anything for long. His mind kept drifting back to Aurora—her face, her voice, the way she had looked so lost and heartbroken the last time he saw her. His phone buzzed, pulling him out of his thoughts. He glanced at the screen, frowning when he saw an unknown number. Normally, he wouldn’t bother answering, but something compelled him to pick up. “Hello?” he said, his voice gruff. “Boss,” a rough voice came through the line. It was a voice Zayn hadn’t heard in years, one of the thugs he used to work with during his wilder days when he played more dangerous games to prove his dominance in the pack. “What do you want?” Zayn asked, his tone sharp. He had cut ties with that life long ago, and he wasn’t in the mood for any surprises. “Someone tried to kidnap your

The air in the caravan was suffocating as Zayn and I stepped inside, the tension palpable. Zayn pushed the door open carefully, his stance ready for anything, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. “*Mummy!*” The scream tore through the caravan, and in the next moment, Elian and Aria bolted towards me, their small arms outstretched. I dropped to my knees, my arms flying open as they crashed into me. “Oh my babies,” I cried, holding them as tightly as I could. The weight of their little bodies against mine was the most reassuring thing I had felt in days. “I missed you so much. Are you okay? Are you hurt?” They shook their heads, their faces buried in my neck. Tears streamed down my face as I held them closer, my heart pounding with relief. Behind me, Zayn stood frozen, his eyes locked on the twins. His face was a mixture of awe, disbelief, and something else—something I couldn’t quite place. Elian was the first to notice him. He pulled back slightly and
Last Updated : 2024-11-29The Fragments Of Our Marriage The Ride Back Home
The ride back home felt surreal, like I was living in a dream I didn’t know I wanted. The kids were absolutely bouncing off the walls with excitement, their voices filling the car with endless questions for Zayn. I sat quietly in the passenger seat, my heart doing strange flips as I watched Zayn and the twins interact. There was something about seeing him with them, about hearing him answer their questions, that made everything feel... right. But also, a little overwhelming.Elian was the first to ask, his little face serious as he leaned forward in his seat. “Why didn’t you come for us all this time, Daddy?”My heart twisted at the question, and I turned to glance at Zayn, hoping he would answer in a way that wouldn’t hurt the kids. I was nervous, honestly. I didn’t know what he would say, and I certainly didn’t know if I was ready to hear it. Zayn caught my gaze for a second before looking at Elian through the rearview mirror. His voice was soft but firm. “I didn’t know about you t

After the kids had fallen asleep, their excitement finally giving way to exhaustion, Zayn and I sat together in the living room. The silence between us wasn’t awkward—it was heavy, charged, as if every word left unsaid was building into something unstoppable.“Can I spend the night?” he asked suddenly, his voice low and careful. His eyes were on mine, and I could see something there—hesitation, hope, and a question he wasn’t quite asking out loud.For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. But then I nodded. “Yes,” I said softly.I couldn’t explain why I agreed. Maybe it was because the kids had just met their father, and I didn’t want to disrupt that. Or maybe it was because, deep down, I didn’t want him to leave either. As the night wore on, the house grew quiet, and it was just the two of us. I led him to the guest room, and he followed without a word. But before I could open the door, he reached for my hand, his touch warm and firm.“Aurora,” he said, his voice barely above a whisp

The Fragments Of Our Marriage THE END
The day had arrived, my birthday and the grand opening of the hospital. It was surreal seeing my dream come to life in the heart of the pack. From the moment I woke up, the house buzzed with activity. Liv was running around giving orders, my mom was double-checking last-minute details, and Zayn’s mom was in charge of the kitchen, ensuring the food would be nothing short of spectacular. I slipped into a pale blue dress that hugged me perfectly. Zayn had picked it out, and though I teased him about his choices sometimes, this one was flawless. As I stood in front of the mirror, Elian and Aria burst into my room, shouting, *“Happy Birthday, Mommy!”* They each held small bouquets of flowers, their grins lighting up my morning. “Thank you, my loves!” I scooped them into a hug, my heart swelling. They were more excited about today than I was, bouncing on their heels and talking over each other about “surprises.” I kissed their foreheads and shooed them out to finish getting ready. Whe
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Big Day Ahead
The soft breeze kissed my skin as I stood on the balcony, gazing out at the bustling preparations below. Everyone was hard at work, ensuring everything was perfect for the hospital’s grand opening, which also happened to be on my birthday. Liv had flown in from the city just a few days ago, and her organizational skills were in full force, balancing between logistics and last-minute details. Zayn’s mom and mine had joined forces, taking charge of decorations and refreshments. It was like watching two generals at work, directing the army of helpers with precision and flair. As much as I trusted them, nerves still fluttered in my stomach. I gripped the railing, my thoughts racing between excitement and anxiety. This hospital was more than a building; it was a culmination of years of dreams, struggles, and hope. I couldn’t afford for anything to go wrong. Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me out of my thoughts. I gasped in surprise as Zayn’s deep laugh filled t
The Fragments Of Our Marriage Curious Aria
The ride back home was filled with laughter and endless chatter. Aria and Elian could barely contain their excitement as they recounted every detail of their time at Zayn’s house. “Mommy, did you know Daddy has a giant sword in his room?” Aria squealed, bouncing in her seat. “He said it’s for special fights! And oh! Grandma made me dresses—so many dresses! And I got to spin in them like a princess!” Elian, who was usually more reserved, chimed in. “Dad took me to the training grounds. He said I could be Alpha one day.” His chest puffed with pride. “He showed me how to hold a sword, too, but I’m not allowed to practice yet.” I smiled as I listened to them. Relief washed over me. The house that had once felt like a prison to me—cold, isolating, and oppressive—was now a place of joy and belonging for my children. Zayn had changed. Or maybe it was everyone who had changed, seeing him now through the eyes of Elian and Aria, who only saw their father trying to make up for lost time.By t
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Day with their Dad
Zayn’s POvThe sound of little feet pattering on the stone floors echoed through the house as Elian and Aria explored every corner of their new home. I stood at the front door, watching as Aurora crouched to say goodbye to them. Aria clung to her leg for a moment before bounding back toward the maids who were already doting on her with dresses and accessories. Elian, on the other hand, was already eyeing me, a mix of curiosity and excitement in his eyes. Aurora stood and turned to me, a playful smile on her lips. “Good luck, Alpha,” she teased. “They’ve got a lot of energy.” I grinned and leaned in, brushing my lips softly against hers. “I think I’ll manage,” I replied. Her gaze lingered on me for a moment before she whispered, “Have fun.” With that, she stepped away and headed toward the car. As soon as the door closed, Elian came to stand beside me, his little chest puffed out like he was already the man of the house. “What are we doing today, Dad?” he asked, his voice full of d
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A Fresh Start
The day began like any other in my new office within the pack’s headquarters. I had been trying to adjust to this new chapter of my life, juggling motherhood, work, and figuring out where Zayn and I stood. My desk was scattered with papers, yet my thoughts constantly drifted to him and the way his presence filled the spaces around me. It wasn’t long before a knock sounded at my door. Before I could respond, Clara poked her head in, a wide grin on her face. “Delivery for you,” she sang, stepping inside with a beautiful bouquet of roses nestled in her hands. They were a deep crimson, the petals perfect and vibrant. “What’s this?” I asked, my heart skipping as she placed the flowers on my desk. I caught sight of a card tucked neatly within the arrangement. My fingers trembled as I opened it. Aurora, Would you do me the honor of letting me take you out tonight? I’ll pick you up at seven. Wear this and let me show you something special. -ZaynAlong with the flowers was an elegant, s

The air inside the dungeon was suffocating, heavy with dampness and the faint metallic scent of rust. My footsteps echoed against the cold stone floor as I followed the guard. Every step felt harder than the last, but I couldn’t turn back. Not now. Not after everything. “He’s in the last cell,” the guard said, his voice flat. I nodded, not trusting myself to speak, and continued down the dimly lit corridor. When I reached the end, I saw him. Derek. He was sitting on a wooden bench, his elbows resting on his knees, muttering something under his breath. At the sound of my approach, he looked up. For a split second, there was a flicker of something in his eyes—surprise? Regret? I couldn’t tell. But then that twisted smile appeared, and any hope of decency vanished. “Aurora,” he drawled, leaning back against the wall as though he didn’t have a care in the world. “Finally decided to come and see me. Took you long enough.” I swallowed the lump in my throat, forcing my voice to remain st
The Fragments Of Our Marriage Everything happened fast
The day had finally come. The day I had been dreading and anticipating all at once. It was time for the move. The convoy of cars pulled up outside my house, and the kids were practically jumping out of their skin with excitement. They had never seen so many cars, and they couldn't wait to start the journey to Zayn's pack. Zayn, ever the gentleman, ushered the kids into the car with a smile, his excitement matching theirs. "Alright, you two, ready for your new life?" he asked as they scrambled into the car.Elian grinned, his eyes wide with wonder. "I can't wait to see all the wolves!" he exclaimed.Aria chimed in, bouncing in her seat. "And the food! Is it really as good as you said, Daddy?"Zayn laughed, looking at me with a knowing smile. "It's better than I can describe," he said. "You'll love it."As we drove to the pack, the kids kept asking questions, their curiosity endless. They wanted to know about everything—if Zayn had any other family, what his pack was like, and what to
The Fragments Of Our Marriage A New Chapter
The morning sun shone through the windows as I sipped my coffee, my thoughts a blur of excitement and nerves. I had just received a call from Zayn, and my heart was racing with a mixture of emotions. He wanted to throw a big feast—a grand celebration to welcome me and the kids into his pack. I didn’t know whether to be overwhelmed by the idea or to embrace it, but one thing was clear: it was a new chapter for us, and Zayn was eager to share it with the world.“ So see you soon ?” Zayn said and I smiled. “ See you soon …” I wasn’t sure how I felt about being the center of so much attention, but as I thought about it, it felt right. It felt like something we all needed—a fresh start, a new beginning. The kids were ecstatic, already planning what they’d wear and what they would say when they met the other pack members. Elian kept asking about the food, while Aria was excited to see the "cool wolves" Zayn had told her about. I put my phone down and stood up, my hands trembling slightly
The Fragments Of Our Marriage The Real Villain
It was time. There was no more avoiding it, no more sweeping it under the rug. Derek was behind all of this—the kidnapping, the fear, the betrayal. It sat heavy in my chest, twisting into something sharp and unbearable. I sat at the edge of the couch, staring at Liv, the words tumbling out of my mouth before I could even process them. “It was Derek,” I said softly, my voice trembling.Liv, who had been pacing the room, froze mid-step. Her eyebrows shot up in shock, but then her expression shifted, softening into something more resigned. “Derek?” she repeated slowly, like she was tasting the bitterness of the word. “He was behind all of this?”I nodded, my throat tightening as I recalled the events of the last few days. “He...he hid the kids in some caravan. Aria told me everything when we found them. No food, no water—he left them there to rot.”Liv sank onto the couch beside me, her hand over her mouth. “Aurora, I—” She paused, shaking her head. “I don’t even know what to say.”“I
