[Cherry]"Fuck!! Fuck!! Fuck!!" I slammed my hand against the desk in front of me, feeling my blood boilMy jaw clenched, and my heart skipped as everything that had gone down in just a few hours crashed back into my headHow did it go this wrong? How did it fucking go this wrong?Every part of my body ached badly. I stared at the bag beside me. I had rushed into the bank to withdraw what I could because I had nothing on me. No phone, no clothes. NothingMy jaw clenched hard as I stared at the burner phone in front of me, which I had gotten from the usualI had found my way into this little guest house, one I knew Kaden would not find me in no matter how he triedIt was one of those underground buildings where I usually gather up with Hazel and the few others, years backIt was a building disguised as a guesthouse but so many things went underneath itMy heart skipped as that name crossed my mindI had heard them talking about Hazel yesterday at the hospital but I didn't get anything
[Matilda]"I don't understand. What are you talking about?" I stared at Kaden, my brows knitting togetherHe opened his mouth to speak but quickly shut it back, his eyes darting all over me. I could see him cursing under his breath, making me more confusedWhat did he mean by the crime she committed"Kaden," I called, and his eyes fluttered shut before he stared back at me"I remember telling you that I had the person that was behind the children's kidnap,""Yes," I answered immediately trying to understand where he was coming from"She...she was behind it," Kaden growled and I sat still, my brows knitting together as I stared at him trying to comprehend what he just saidWhat is he talking about?Hold on?"Wait. What did you just say?" My eyes widened as it dawned on me what he must have meant. "Did...did I hear you right?" I snapped and his eyes told me everything I was supposed to know"Hold the fuck on?" I snapped, my jaw clenching hard. "Are you telling me that your wife Cherry w
[Matilda]I growled as a sharp pain pierced through my skull GoodnessI slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the blinding lights that struck my eyeballsMy room has never been this bright! I've never been a fan of very bright blinding lights so why the hell did it seem so bright today?I hissed, blinking repeatedly until I adjusted to the lights only for my brows to crease together as I tried to take in my environmentI snapped my eyes shut and slowly opened it again but well, I was still at the same place. I bit down on my lips trying to raise my body only to fall back with my hand flying up to my head"Fuck!!" I cursed out loud, my jaw clenching at the pain that coursed through my head"Are you okay?" I stilled at that voiceI batted my lashes immediately, my eyes snapping open as I tilted my neck to the side and that was when I caught sight of himKaden!What is he doing here? Where am I?I bit down on my lips, shifting my eyes away from him and scanning the room and that w
[Kaden]"Oh my...," That was the last word I heard as something that sounded like a crack reverberated over the phone"Matilda!! Tilda, are you there?" I called out but all I could hear was footsteps and just immediately, the phone went dead in my ear. My heart thudded loud in my chest, I stared at Ryan and Mason, shaking my head in confusion, I picked up my car key, my phone still pressed in my ear as I called her again and again"What's wrong man?" Ryan called after me but I was already on my way out. My chest tightened as the thought of what could have happened crossed my mindDid she see Cherry? I could swear I heard her voice cursing before I heard that crackDid she visit Matilda to attack her? What about my kids? Did she... FuckMy jaw clenched tightly as I made my way to my car. I revved the engine to life, pressing on the accelerator as I made my way to the busy road of NYCWith my left hand on the steering wheel, I kept redialing her number, but it was ringing with no one f
[Matilda]"Mommy, is this our new school?" Aiden asked me from the backseat"Yes baby," I said softlyI swiped through my phone calling Leo the second time. He was supposed to be here before us so why was he not here yetI felt what I was doing was wrong by not informing Kaden. I had even forgot to mention it to him last night. I noticed he'd been busy and Leo was right, the kids can't just continue staying at homeSo after we are done, I'll just give him a call and tell him how everything went"Mommy, Uncle Leo," Aiden tapped my lap shifting my attention to himHe pointed at the side of my window and I followed his tiny hands and there he was. Leo, standing right out, trying to peer into the glassI rolled down the window, my lips falling into a pout"You're late," I rolled my eyes and he chuckled, his eyes scanning all over the car. I watched as his lip curled downward"Did you have to drive this one today?" Leo asked and I blinked back at him. What was this man's problem"It's the
[Kaden]"What the fuck did you just fucking say?" I growled"She escaped early this morning," The doctor repeated and I felt heat surge through every inch of meIs this some kind of joke or something?I stared at him, and back to the bed, a sly smirk curling up my lips"Hold on?" I took a step closer to the fucker who just spilled the most useless information to me right now. "You mean to fucking tell me that a patient who you said was in a comatose state, who I saw yesterday, lying down unconscious, suddenly flew from the hospital. A patient you're supposed to be looking after?" I snapped, taking another step closer to himI was beginning to see redAll I wanted right now was to smash the idiot's head on the wall for him to tell me what the fuck happened"Listen," I mumbled, dragging a hand down my face. "I'm not going to repeat this question, where the fuck is she?" I snapped, watching as the bastard flinched, taking a step back"I...I...," He paused, staring right into my eyes. "Sh
