“She would kiss us, sure. But if she was lying about liking us, like we believe that she was, she would never go too far with us.”

“So you guys went along with it? Another girl kisses you guys, and you guys think that this whole thing justifies cheating on me?” I shake my head at them.

“Caroline. It wasn’t like that. We didn’t cheat on you.” Antonio pleads.

“Are you serious? You guys kissed her! That’s fucking cheating.”

“But we told you why. We told you the whole story. Please, forgive us!” Nicholas says, frantically wrapping his arms around me.

I shake my head and push against his chest, wanting nothing more than for him to let me go. Wanting nothing more than to be away from them.

“Let me go, Nicholas! I can’t forgive you guys. Not right now.” I sob, tears staining my cheeks.

“I’m sorry, mi amore. I’m so fucking sorry. We thought only of getting the truth. We didn’t think this would count as cheating.”

I shake my head, still pushing against Nicholas’ chest.

“You didn’t think, that’s the fucking problem. Neither one of you guys thought about me.” Finally, he lets me go, and I press my entire back against my car.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen between us, okay? All I know, though, is that right now I just need time. Okay? I need time right now. I don’t know what I’m going to do, and I cannot promise you guys anything right now. I just can't. Because everytime i look at you guys, I just see her. I see Sara. and I see you, Antonio, with your mouth on hers. And you, nick, with your hand so fucking close to her fucking pussy.”

The twins both stare at me, eyes filling with tears. 

But the tears are unshed. 

Unlike mine, which fall freely down my face in waves. 

I know that the twins love me.

At least, I think that they do.

But how am I supposed to trust them, or their love for me? How the hell am i supposed to fucking trust anything when they would just go around kissing someone else?

“Darling, please. Dont run away from us. We can't lose you again.'' Nicholas pleads, raising his hand to touch me once more, before dropping it as soon as I push back against the car behind me.

“Caroline. Look at me.” Antonio requests, begging me, a single tear rolling down his cheek.

I listen, I can't help it.

My body must not have caught up with my head, with my heart.

How can it?

I dont even know what the hell i am going to fucking do.

How can I expect my body to know what to do?

“Mi amore, I know that we will get through this. I know that we will earn back your trust, we will earn your forgiveness. Because we plan on spending the rest of our lives making it up to you. We plan on spending the rest of our lives proving our love to you. Just please. Please. Don't leave. Don't run.`` Antonio begs, tears falling freely from his face as well.

“Caroline, you are pregnant right now, with our children. We already went crazy trying to find you. Imagine how crazy we will go trying to find you and our children?” Nicholas says. 

His words should make me fear him. I should take them as a threat, but I don't.

Because I know them. 

I know them.

They love me.

They have to love me.

Right?

“We love you, Darling. We once told you that loving you makes us weak. We told you that you make us weak. And do you remember what you said back?'' I nod my head, silent, still crying. “You told us that loving us makes you strong. It makes you stronger. And it does for us too. We were wrong when we said that loving you makes us weak. We were so fucking wrong. You make us stronger. Loving you has made us stronger. Loving you has made us better men. It has made us men that maybe one day would have actually deserved you. So please, don't give up on us. Not yet. We will do anything. Anything. Just please, don't leave us. Don't run away.”

Closing my eyes momentarily, I take a deep breath, and think over his words carefully.

Most of me wants to just leave them forever, not have them in my life at all anymore.

But I love them.

I still fucking love them.

A part of me wants to just forgive them.

I just want to forgive them and move on with our lives.

I can picture our future so fucking clear.

    If I forgave them right now, I could heal, and we could all build our lives together. We could get Sara out of our lives for good, and never worry about her again. We could go through the next few months of my pregnancy together, happy. We could actually hold hands at the doctor appointments, and I could watch them put the nursery together for the twins.

If I forgave them right now, we could live the life we had already started building.But could I really forgive them?After everything that they just did?Opening my eyes, I look at both of them. “I can't forgive you guys, not right now.

    “I don't know what our future holds, and I can't promise you guys anything other than letting you guys be there for the twins. But I need my space, too. I don't want you guys showing up to my place in the middle of the night. I dont want you guys trying to get in my pants. And, while i dont want you guys to, I wont control who you guys sleep with, even if it is Sara. I just don't want to know anything about it, if it happens. I'll give you guys updates about the twins, and about any doctor appointments. That's all I can do right now, okay?” The twins both nod, both looking mournful.“We will give you the space you seek, Caroline. But we will never, ever stop trying to earn your trust again. Okay? Because we love you. And we want our family to be together again.” Nicholas says, smiling meekly while crossing his arms across his chest.“And about Sara? We will never sleep with her. We will never even fucking touch her again. She's going to leave, we promise you that. There is no one els

She rubs my arm gently in an effort to calm my crying. “Okay, so you should sit on the couch and get started on this ice cream while I start the pizzas. I know you haven't eaten, and you may not want to, but those babies in there need some kind of food. So ice cream and pizza it is.”I cry even harder.“I s

    “I cant believe that he would cover for you.” Amanda says, taking a bite of her own ice cream.“I know. I was surprised, too. But I guess he knew who I really was. He had dug into my past after seeing some irregularities in my background check. Of course, only very few people would have been able to find those irregularities. He took the fall because he felt that I needed that job. He took the fall, and he was fired. His father fired him, and his entire future at TechBuddy was taken from him.” I take another bite of my ice cream. I let it melt in my mouth before swallowing and then resuming. “Jacob never really held that against me. I promised him that if he needed my help one day, I would help him, no questions asked.

    “She was dead? How is that even possible, if she's here and alive?” I lean back against the couch, exasperated. “Exactly! They said she was killed by one of their enemies, Demitri. He killed her to get to them. He didn't know, of course, that their marriage wasn't even real. Or, at the very least, romantic. The twins pushed everyone away after that. They felt responsible for her death. In their eyes, she would not have been killed if she wasn't connected to them. They threw themselves at work. They didn't even have sex for two years. Until they met me.” “See, at least you weren't the only one there losing something that night! You lost your virginity, and they lost their celibacy!” she teases. I laugh momentarily before continuing. “Haha! You're a clown!” we end up giggling even more. “Back to the story, clown!” she orders jokingly. “Fine! Anyways, we hook up, get married, and then we move to that god forsaken house. They had their secrets, and I had mine. The biggest obstacle

    They don't want me to leave for another three days, just so they can have me pumped up with drugs and speak to all of their expensive, annoying psychologists. They said they would only lift the hold and discharge me if a family member comes to get me. They don't want to be responsible for me if I end up trying to end my own life.”“You're coming home with me, rory. Don't worry, okay?”She goes to respond when the door opens with an audible click and the guard steps back inside. “Your visitation time has ended.”I dont move, instead I tilt my head at the guard. “Please have the doctor come and have them bring her discharge paperwork.”The guard shakes their head and instead simply walks back out, this time not even bothering to lock the door. “Should we run?” Cordessa asks, staring between me and the door.Laughing, I squeeze her hand with my own. “No, rory. No more running. From either of us.”She smiles up at me, her eyes still leaking fat tears.The process of getting Cordessa dis

    “While you were busy looking for me, I was busy trying to forget about you.”Cordessas face falls, clearly not liking my words. Again, she tries to hide her face from me, so I turn it back to face me.“If i had looked for you, if i had kept an eye on you, then i wouldn't have been able to leave you alone. I would have reached out, and you deserved better than someone who could never be in your life again. You deserved better than what I could have given you then.”“And now?” she asks, her voice that of a child, full of both fear and hope.Stroking her hair from her face, I stare down at her with a smile. “Now, I'm going to take you home with me. If that's what you want.” She smiles widely, her smile so beautiful it throws me off. While I've always taken after my mom, she's always been more similar to my dad. Her smile is no different. It had always been our dads smile. “Yeah, I think I would like that. I hate being here.”I look around the room, realizing that the rest of the room i

    As the guard walks to the door after searching me, I can't help but take a few calming breaths to try and ease my nerves.Im about to see her, my sister, after how fucking long? How in the world am I supposed to even feel right now?“You will only have about fifteen minutes with her until you will have to leave.” the guard says while unlocking and opening the door. I slide into the room, sucking in a breath when I see the figure curled up in bed.She's facing the window, her body wrapped around itself in the fetal position. Her sobs are filled with emotion, yet slightly muffled by her face being pressed into the thin pillow under her head.“Cordessa?” I whisper out, jumping slightly when the door closes and locks behind me.shit , i hadn't expected the door to be locked behind me.Fuck.Cordessa doesn't respond, likely not hearing my silent whisper over the sound of her own sobs.I take a tentative step towards the bed, towards her, feeling my heart break as I watch her break.“Rory

    My mom grabs my hands and silently pulls me to the cabinets, the phone still pressed against her ear, her eyes wide. She slides open one of the cabinets and directs me into it. I climb in carefully, wincing as I feel the wood against my skin. I settle into the very back of the cabinet, my legs pressed against my chest, and try my hardest not to burst out crying. What’s going to happen right now? Why in the world are they here right now? “I’m going to put these pans and pots in front of you so that no one can see you. Okay?” My mom whispers. I can hear banging on the door, and my father yelling. “Mommy? What’s going to happen?” I ask, feeling a few tears begin to spill down my cheeks. “Nothing. The police are on their way, and will be here in less than five minutes. But I can’t let anything happen to you, my sweet girl. So stay in here, and don’t make any noise. And no matter what you hear, or see, do not get out of here until the police arrive.”I nod, taking a few deep breaths

And even if you had, I would have forgiven you a long time ago.”My mom joins us and sits next to me on the couch, fresh tears sliding down her face. “I am so happy that you are safe, corinna.”“It feels weird being back, to be honest.” I say, while leaning back against the couch carefully, wincing

    Even after my mom told me that her father and his family were Greek, I never looked into it. I've always felt like if he wanted to have a relationship with either her or me, he could reach out to us himself. Of course, now he has no way of ever having a relationship with my mom.No one will ever be able to talk to her again.At least when I die, I'll be able to know that she died knowing that I loved her.“How can I help you?” the nurse at the front desk asks, staring up at me and the twins, who stand so close to me that I can feel their body heat.“Im looking for Cordessa Ayala.” I say, biting my bottom lip.She scrolls through a tablet in front of her.“And your relationship to the patient?” she asks, looking up at me.“I'm her sister.”She asks for my ID, and makes a visitor badge for me before staring at the twins. I immediately put the sticker on my shirt.“And you guys?” she asks, raising her eyebrow.“We are married to Caroline.” Nicholas says, crossing his own arms.“Unfortun
