“Xavier is your father.” Jade finally spat.Mason's attention didn't move from the man seated on the other side of the table.She thought she'd regret it the moment she said it but it only felt like a huge relief.Jade keenly watched her children's expression because she can't afford to have this blow back in her face.She took a leap of faith with this one.Liam smiled. “Daddy?” He quickly climbed down with Jade's help and ran to Xavier on the other side of the table who happily picked him up.“Yes, daddy.” Xavier tightly hugged his son.“Is that mine!?” The presents on the floor immediately caught his attention.“Yes, and your brother.” He looked over to Mason.“I want mine now!” Liam pouted.He actually underestimated the whole thing. He thought he'd just get to know his boys and groom them into men.But looking at them, holding Liam in his arms, an overwhelming feeling choked his throat.He has never felt anything like it before.All he wanted to do was protect them, protect his f
Xavier entered the conference room where Jade was seated at the head chair.“Sit, they're waiting downstairs.” She ordered.“Who is waiting downstairs?” He didn't move.“Everyone.” She swirled the chair a little. “I'm going to introduce you to the whole team. Remember what I said to you? Don't act smart.”“I don't care for that. Why not just take me to my boys?”“I'm pretty sure everyone would like an explanation after I publicly claimed to kill you.” She stood up. “We have to give them a good story and you are gonna agree to everything I say out there.”“If that's what it takes..”“I'm not asking. You don't even have options, Xavier.” She walked to him. “Behave.”She didn't give an opportunity to even breathe the next word as she walked out.He let out a short scoff.Jade is completely something he wasn't expecting, he won't deny.He could clearly see the anger and raw hate she boldly displayed in her eyes whenever she looked at him and make no mistake, she doesn't even try to hide i

Xavier watched her in silence.“Of course.” She gave a short scoff. “Pussy.”He wasn't surprised at this revelation because he already suspected her to know, following her little association with Zane.Zane probably told her everything so why does she want to hear it from him? It was a story he wasn't really proud of so until she force it out of him, it'll stay dead, just like the old him. Jade took the cuffs off to his surprise. “We will go with your plan.” She started. “Don't try anything funny, I've killed you before, don't think I'll hesitate to do it again.”“No doubt.”“And don't you dare upset my sons..”“They're my sons too!” He interrupted her. “Stop making it look like I don't have a right to them as well.”Jade roughly grabbed his chin. “Don't fucking interrupt me like that again.” She hit him with a death stare.“Then stop saying things that trigger me.” He stared back. Maybe this was a very big mistake, she slowly realized.“I've changed my mind.” She picked up the cuf
Jade poured herself another shot of whiskey as she tried to forget the horrible confrontation she had with Khalil days ago.Her head spun just by the mere thought of it, like it was yesterday.“They are my sons!” He angrily roared when she denied his claims. “Khalil, you need to chill. What on earth made you believe they are yours!? Why would you come to such conclusion?”“Are seriously kidding right now?” He asked with frustration.“Don't you think I would've told you if I was carrying your child?” She asked again.“I don't know, I thought you needed time, and space. I didn't want to push and I was waiting for you to come to me. Plus, Maria is in the picture so I also thought you are trying to protect her as always but I can't do it anymore. I am tired of pretending, I want my sons.” He answered.Jade looked at him with a perplexed scoff. “You got to be kidding me.”“I am really not in the mood for games, Jade. Please don't let this escalate.”“Are you threatening me?!” She angrily
“Mum!” A tall boy ran to her. He had silk black midnight hair, thick lashes hovering over his icy blue eyes.“Mummy!” A younger boy ran behind him.He looked exactly like the first boy, only younger with softer features.That resemblance always hit her hard in the gut whenever she looked at her boys.Jade quickly took a knee to hug her precious little dumplings.“Did you get it?” The first boy asked.“Hello to you too, Mason.” She smiled with the roll of her eyes.“Well did you?” Mason insisted.“Mummy, I got five stars today.” The younger boy happily said to her.“Oh baby, aren't you so smart!” She proudly hugged him again.“Okay, Liam got stars and I didn't.” Mason rolled his eyes.“Behave, young man.” She gave him a warning.“Just tell me if you got it.”“I can only permit the Stone who got stars today to play with the new PlayStation.”Liam squeaked in excitement. “Thank… you mummy.”“That is not fair!” Mason stomped his foot.“Maybe you'll do better tomorrow. But you don't get t
