[Kaden]"Is everything okay?" I halted in my steps as she asked making my brow crease together. I turned and stared back at her, and she looked like she regretted what she just asked"What do you mean?" I asked, my hand tucked into my pocket as I stared back at her"You...you look like something Is wrong, never mind though, you should leave," She mumbled, her voice barely above a whisperI had gone to visit Cherry today at the hospital, and things weren't looking one percent better at all. I've been there since morning up until this night and decided to visit my kids. I needed to know how they were feeling, I needed to know if everything was okay. The men I placed told me nothing was wrong and they barely left the house but I still needed to see them myself, maybe not just them but Matilda as wellI had accepted dinner with the kids not only because I was hungry but because I needed anything that would distract me from how my head was almost exploding, I didn't know if my brain was me
[Matilda]My brow creased as I pulled my door open only to be faced with Kaden right in front of my door, looking like he had not slept a wink for days. My eyes flickered all over his body and back to his face and I could already read the worry that clouded his features"Can I come in at least, you can stare all you want than to have me stand right here when you know it's raining," His voice was stern making my brows crease"I never asked you to come, so how is that supposed to be my business?" I snapped ignoring the way my heart tightened as I blurted out the words"I came to see the kids, how are they doing?""You don't show up in people's houses unannounced," I rolled my eyes, shifting away from the door as he stepped in and the next voices I heard weren't surprising at all. I knew they'd leave their meals"Daddy, Daddy!!" Austin and Aiden sprinted over to Kaden. I stood still watching as he quickly crouched down to their level, wrapping his arms around them"My big boys, how are y
[Kaden]My heart was almost leaving my body as I slammed the car door shut, taking long strides to the hospital with Mason and Ryan trailing behind meI could feel sweat prickling from every part of my body. My jaw clenched with every step I took forward until I was right in front of the receptionist"I'm...here," I paused, taking a deep breath. "I'm here for a patient, she got admitted here last night," I said softly"Name of the patient sir?" She asked"Cherry Donovan," "Just a second," she said, her hand dancing across her keyboard. She paused and stared back at me. "Who...are you to her sir?""Husband," I said, bringing out my driver's license so she could see my name on it. I don't have time for all of this. She stared right at it and nodded, her eyes returning to her laptop before staring back at me. "The second hallway by your left, room 45D," She said and I was already making my way toward the direction before she could complete her statementMy hand dug into my scalp as I b
[Kaden] Who the hell was behind this? That is all I've been muttering under my breath since we left California heading back to NYC with the ID photo that was right in my palms I took a deep breath, my hand digging into my scalp as what Felicia said to me before I stepped out of her house, rang in my ear "I...I've told you everything you needed to know but how...how am I sure another of my child won't be kidnapped and brought back dead, that was exactly what happened when I confided in someone else," She had said with tears in her eyes I swallowed hard gulping down the lump in my throat. I asked to move them somewhere safer and a place I would put my men to watch over them and I'm glad they agreed. So currently they are staying right at the underground building in one of my houses in California and just like I told her, I will make sure she gets justice What cruel human would be this heartless? I knew how my heart kept clenching and unclenching as she narrated what she had b
[Matilda]"Are you just going to stand there staring at me? I'll be done in a few minutes," I said to Leo who was right in my kitchen, arms crossed over his chest as he stared up at me"What should I do, tell me?" Leo asked making me chuckle"You can't do anything here Leo, use the living room and let me cook, dinner will be ready soon, are you that hungry?" I asked biting back a chuckle as I washed my vegetables"Why do I feel like you've not fully forgiven me?""Here we go again, I know you're going to say this one more time. If I haven't forgiven you then I don't see a reason why you should be here," I rolled my eyes and Leo chuckled, still not giving into it"How about you show me then?""Show you?" My hand paused, my brows creasing together as I turned to stare at this gorgeous man who wouldn't let me be. "And how am I supposed to show you that?""Let me assist you, I can slice the vegetables, but if you insist I leave, then I guess you haven't truly forgiven me," Leo said and I
[Cherry]The next dayMy jaw clenched, my hands tapping repeatedly on my thighs as I tried to reach this bastard who wouldn't fucking take my callsI had sent him the addresses and the pictures of who Kaden was supposed to meet this is fucking noon and he wasn't still taking my callsMy hand dug into my scalp, my eyes shifting to the other side of the bed as the person beside me stirred in their sleep. That beautiful lashes fluttering slowly"You're... you're awake?" They said and I took a deep breath trying to swallow the lump that made its way to my throat"How am I supposed to sleep? He's not taking my calls and I don't even know what's going on right now, I'm confused." I said, my heart thudding hard in my chestI don't fucking know but I just hope everything is going well. Did Kaden notice someone trailing them? Did they stay elsewhere aside from his penthouse because if everything was going as planned, one of the men this old fool forwarded their number to me could have fucking
