[Kaden]"What the hell did you just say?" I growled, grabbing the doctor's coat as tears brimmed at the corners of my eyes"Kaden," Ryan and Mason rushed toward me, holding me back. I took a step back, my eyes still fixed on the man in front of me.His jaw clenched and he lowered his head and that was all it took for me to know that I heard him so fucking clear."We lost the lady and one of the twins. I'm so sorry sir, but we tried our best," His words slammed back at me and I took another step back.My heart pounded so loudly in my ear that it ached. My vision blurred and before I could stop it a single tear dropped from my eyes.It's not true right? It's not... I mean.I shifted my eyes back to the man and he was standing right on the spot.Before I could open my mouth to say a word, he beat me to it."One of the twins is still unconscious. But we were able to save him," He said again, his eyes fixed on mine. "I'll be in my office," That was the last word he said before turning on h
[Matilda]"Doctor...doctor," I rushed toward the doctor. My heart slammed so hard against my chest as I watched him slip off his gloves and the next second his hand dropped to his side.I swallowed hard, my eyes fixed deeply on his. I took another step forward, taking his hand in mine.Everything else went still around me. It was clear that he had walked in our direction and called Kaden's name to give us an update, but why...why was he not saying anything?"Doctor," Kaden's voice sliced beside me and the doctor stared at where I was holding him. With my hand still on his, he took another step forward."I'm sorry," he mumbled and my whole body stiffened."What are you sorry about?!" I yelled, not giving him a chance to say another fucking word. "How are my kids? Where are...""Please calm down ma'am," he said and Leo immediately stepped forward, grabbing me and peeling my hand away from the doctor's coat."Tesoro," Leo whispered, holding me still. I stood still, my jaw clenching hard
[Kaden]"What the hell is fucking taking so damn long?"My fingers dug into my scalp, strands tugging painfully as I paced in front of the ER doors. Nurses and doctors had been running helter-skelter for hours, but none had given a single goddamn update.My lips sank deep into my teeth, biting so hard I could almost taste blood. At the end of the hallway, Mason and Ryan sat, their heads bent low. I couldn't sit. I couldn’t blink. My head pounded so loudly I could hear my heartbeat in both ears like war drums."I'm at my boyfriend's house."The words slammed into me all over again, making my jaw clench tight until it ached.I was worried. Fucking worried for nothing. For a woman who left our kids to go spend the night with a man.He’s her boyfriend. And so fucking what?Does that give her the right to leave the kids alone at night just to satisfy herself?Who the hell does that?She knew what our kids had been through. She knew Cherry was still out of reach. Yet she had the guts the da
[Matilda]"Are you sure you're okay? If there's something that bastard said to you that you don't like...""He didn't say anything," I cut Leo off, my hand still clamping over each other.I bit down on my lip hard as I tried to calm the way my heart was pounding loudly in my chest. I wanted to call Kaden back to ask what he was trying to say but I know so well that Kaden had absolutely nothing reasonable to say to me, not with the way he's been constantly calling me for days now.But why was I still feeling some kind of way?"I don't like the way you are," Leo's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned toward him and shook my head."I'm okay. I just feel sad knowing that the children must have been worried," I said, and he nodded, dropping his hand on my thighs."I'm sorry about that. It's my fault and not yours. I shouldn't have slept off," Leo apologized again for the umpteenth time."It's fine," I mumbled, staring outside the window as the city blurred past us.I rested my head
[Matilda] "Oh good lord," I mumbled as I stirred softly, trying to shift my head into a good position. Why was my bed suddenly hard today? It has always been comfortable and soft. My eyes squinted against the light as I slowly woke up. My head was pounding so loudly. "Goodness," I mumbled, my voice barely above a whisper. I bit down on my lips, blinking repeatedly as I tried to make sense of where I was. This is not the view from my bed. Did I pass out in the living room? But this isn't my... Hold on? My heart skipped immediately. Not minding how my head was still throbbing, I straightened up, my eyes shifting from one corner to the other as I tried to recall where the hell I was or what I was doing here. My eyes shifted to the side and I blinked back at the sight before me. Leo? What am I... "Oh my God!" My voice pitched up as everything dawned on me. "Leo!" I tapped his hand but he only stirred, turning his face in the other direction, with his hand almost touching the floo
[Kaden]My hands were trembling as I tightened it on the steering wheel. Driving straight to the hospital.I had left just as a few officers arrived on the scene. One asked if I’d seen anything suspicious.I said no.Because I wasn’t going to give Cherry the fucking satisfaction of prison. She didn’t deserve the easy way out.She’s crossed the goddamn line—and if anything happens to Tilda, if she lays a single finger on her. If she dares to.The emergency units had tried to stop me from driving with the bullshit of I needed to be checked by the paramedics all because I was in a smoke for not even up to twenty minutes. When my kids are right at the hospital and their mother is nowhere to be found.Yes, I fucking ran back into the damn house with one of the firefighters following behind me. I told him there were places he didn't know in the house. That was all lies. I just wanted to be fucking sure that Tilda was seriously not in that house and I confirmed it. She was nowhere near that
