"Mommy, are you leaving us again?" Hades' blue eyes are looking at her with curiosity.This is way harder than I thought it is.Krysie closed her luggage first before facing her son. Havoc is standing near the door frame while Haven is behind Hades. They're looking at her like she had done something wrong which is really wrong.She requested Elias that she'll fly tomorrow instead of today. She's waiting for Margaux to come over even though she wants to bring her babies with her."Mom won't take long there," she said softly and caressed his cheeks."You've been telling us it won't take you long but you always don't arrive, Mom." Havoc interjected.Krysie massaged her temple. "As much as Mommy wants to bring you there, I'm disallowed to do that."That's a freaking lie! I'm only doing this for you not to encounter your father."It won't take you long, yayt?" Haven asked.She forced a smile and spread her arms. "Care you hug Mommy? I'll buy you something after work."Havoc scoffed and tur
She roamed her eyes all over the place. The calming wind is gently blowing through her hair and whispering softly through her ears. She wasn't aware that the sound of waves crashing against the seashore would somehow calm her chaotic mind and heart. It's still six but the tourists who visited this morning were gone in a snap. People who are wandering near the seashore can only be counted by fingers. It's a good thing, though. She finds peace for a moment. Taking a break temporarily from her messy life. She stopped walking and faced the wide ocean. The crew who are working for the Adamson said there will be games for everyone to play to know each other better and that the whole beach resort will be closed temporarily for us to have privacy during team building. “What are you still doing here?” a voice asked from behind. And suddenly, her heart started beating erratically. She almost shivers when the wind suddenly blows. Her fingers turned cold and she was lost for words. It was Ca
“Hey, are you okay? You look tensed.” Olivia tapped her shoulders. She huffed and glanced at her phone again. Margaux's not answering her calls since last night! And she's starting to get paranoid. It's nine in the morning and she can't swallow her food thinking about why that bitch is not answering her calls. It's always out of reach!“Our first activity would start today,” Trixie said and shrugged. “I just hope it's interesting. And I hope too that the bosses will join us. Last year, they didn't so I hope they will this year. I want to see their abs.” Krysie looked at Trixie, stunned at her choices of words. The latter just smiled sheepishly and continue eating her meal. She heaved a deep breath and keep dialing Margaux's phone. I swear I'll kill this bitch once I return home.As the line rings, Krysie got alarmed. Olivia noticed her reaction and curiously stared at her. She just smiled at Olivia and excused herself to leave for a moment. Few more rings before Margaux picked up
“How's your talk with that little Hunter?” Margaux asked as soon as she stepped on the terrace.Krysie heaved a deep breath. “He's hardheaded. He doesn't want to return home because he wants me to go home with them.” “Maybe they are in trauma.” Margaux shrugged. “You left them for a year, and that's a long time while they're waiting for you to come home.”I guess so, she whispered to herself.“So, are you gonna sleep here? It's already eleven in the evening. Are they asleep?”She checked her wrist and shook her head. She texted Trixie that she can't make it tonight swimming because she's tired and she's not in the mood to eat dinner. That was a lie, though. For sure they'll be searching for her if they find out she's not in her suite. “I need to be back in the hotel,” Krysie mumbled. “Please don't let them out. There's a chance that they might encounter their father.” Margaux nodded. “But, Sey, I don't want to sound mean but why are you still keeping them from their father? You're
The night comes and they all gathered around the bonfire. They've been playing truth or dare, a very common game that surely will make someone either enjoy or annoy. After the incident this afternoon, Olivia is now distancing herself from her. Hunter and Elias are across from where she is. Trixie is sitting beside her as if nothing happened this afternoon. It's a good thing though that Trixie knows when to go hype, unlike Olivia.“So, Aaron. Pull a card!” It's a spin-a-bottle game with twists. The dares or questions didn't come from them but in the card. It's like casino cards where whatever was written on it, the person who was pointed by the bottle will obey. And whoever declines shall drink two glasses of whiskey. And it is a bitter whiskey!“Krysie,” Trixie mumbled. “Are you okay now?” She looked at her and nodded. “Yeah. I just took a swim in the exclusive jacuzzi for a few minutes and changed. Why?” “I'm really sorry for Olivia's attitude.” Trixie sigh. “She's just like tha
“H-Hunter? Why are you holding her phone? Where's Krysie?” His jaw clenched. “That kid… whose daughter is she?” “Give the phone to Krysie, Hunter. Please, I need to talk to her—”“Where are you now?” he asked. “Krysie's sleeping. Spit your location, Margaux.” “But—”But instead of letting her finish, he turned off the call and stood. He's still trembling. It can't be. The doctor said she had a miscarriage four years ago. It can't be…He slid her phone inside his pocket as he stood and went to his closet. Hunter changed and pulled out his phone. His mind can't process everything. This night is too much. Questions are revolving around his head and he's sure as hell… Krysie is the only person who can answer those questions. “Where are you going?” Elias' voice echoed all over the place. He wore his leather jacket before facing Elias. “Somewhere. Take care of her.” He fished out his car keys from his drawer and immediately leaves the place. He doesn't care what his brother would think
“Don't force yourself to walk, okay? Don't step this foot or else it will worsen your wound. You will heal in three days. Careful when you're changing your bandage…” She's silently listening to the nurse who's giving her instructions. After Hunter delivered her here in the hospital, he immediately left and Elias came with Carson. They are also listening to the nurse. “Okay,” she mumbled. “H-How about Hunter? His knuckles were bleeding…” Elias sigh. “He can handle himself.” Carson dismissed the nurse while Elias proceed to continue peeling the apple while sitting on the bed where she was laying. She closed her eyes and leaned against the headrest of the bed. She's worried about him. Her eyes are still swollen from crying nonstop. Her fingers didn't stop trembling. She doesn't know why angry Hunter scares the hell out of her. Maybe because it was his power. The things he can do when he's mad. “Stop worrying about him. He's fine,” Elias handed her the apple. “He told me you didn't
Want 77Four days passed and her foot is now healed. She's advised by Elias not to run or take heavy steps. Their employees are now back in New York while they stay here in Jamaica. Her babies are always calling her every night and the trio is always listening to them. They didn't bother seeing their faces because as Carson says, "it's always better to meet them in person." “How are you feeling now?” Elias caressed her cheek softly. She's staying in an exclusive hotel suite with four bedrooms while healing her foot. Elias is always assisting her the same as Carson. Hunter would sometimes bring his paperwork inside her room and would continue working on her bed beside her. They're extra clingy she can say. Ready to attend to her needs and they would always ask her if she wants something or not. And she would be a hypocrite if she'll say she's not happy. She's freaking happy at the same time…guilty. She's guilty about feeling this happiness. Feeling relieved is okay after knowing th
