[Kaden]

"Daddy! Daddy!"

The sound hit me like a bullet straight to the chest. My heart did a goddamn flip, and before I even knew what I was doing, the shopping bag slipped from my fingers. I crouched instantly, arms wide open, catching my boys as they flung themselves at me.

My boys.

Fuck

I didn’t even know how to breathe.

I wrapped them up in my arms like if I let go, they’d vanish. My chest tightened, and my jaw clenched so damn hard it hurt. The wave of emotion crashed over me with no warning

Their tiny arms clung to me like I was their whole world, making my heart tighten, my jaw clenching fucking hard

Almost six fucking years

I squeezed my eyes shut as I felt one of them start to sob against my shoulder. My throat burned. My hands trembled slightly as I pulled back, holding them up to get a good look.

Tears.

One of them had tears rolling down his cheeks, and my heart cracked right down the middle. I couldn’t fucking speak. What was I supposed to say?

    [Matilda]The moment I saw that stupid smirk on Kaden's face, something snapped inside me.He stood there, his eyes darting from me to the driver who was unloading the different kinds of toys he got. Did I fucking tell him I was about to open a kid's store, because what the hell was this man doing?I clenched my jaw hard, trying to swallow the sudden lump building in my throat. Not here, not in front of themBecause I wouldn't want my kids to see me snap the way my body was pushing me to"Kaden I asked a question, what is all this about?" My voice trembled and I hated that it did not because I was scared but because I was furious. He knew it and I saw it in the way his smile deepened, slow and smug like this was some game he was winningI looked at the twins. They were practically glowing, with wide eyes and jumping up and down like the world had just opened up and poured magic into their little handsMy jaw clenched, my heart thumping hard in my chest as different scenarios made thei

    [Matilda] "What the hell do you think you’re doing?" I snapped, my jaw tightening as I glared at the man in front of me. He tilted his head slightly, that damn smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "I don’t know what you’re talking about," Kaden murmured, the arrogance in his tone making my blood boil. I parted my lips to speak but closed them again. I inhaled deeply, swallowing the sudden lump forming in my throat. "Don’t play dumb, Kaden Donovan. What is all this? What exactly are you trying to pull?" I folded my arms tightly across my chest "Just playing the role of a father, sweetheart. What’s wrong with that?" His smirk deepened as his eyes leisurely swept over me before landing back on my face. Is he fucking serious right now? Does he think I’m stupid? "You think I’m blind? Do you think I don’t see right through your little show? But hear me clearly, Kaden—it’s not going to work. I know exactly who you are. A manipulative bastard with no conscience," I hissed, fighting

    [Kaden]My heart throbbed as my eyes shifted to Tilda, she was seated on the couch, her eyes glued to the television. I could see from her eyes that she was lost in thought and not paying attention to any movie. Was she worried? Scared?I tilted my neck, staring back at my kids. Why should I care if she was hurting? She did worse, she kept my children from me for nearly six years and she had no plans of even letting me know if I didn't find out myselfThe doorbell echoed through the house, followed by the kids' squeals, pulling me out of my deep thoughts"Daddy, I think the ice cream is here," one of my boys screamed. I stared at him, my lips curling into a smile, before turning to the other one. Right now, I had no idea who was who anymore. They looked very identical"Let's go check it out then," I said softly as I rose to my feet. My eyes shifted to Tilda before I looked away, walking toward the door with the kids bouncing at my sidesI couldn't contain the happiness in me, the way

Tilda snapped, turning her eyes in the kid's direction. I glanced at them —then back at Leo who still had his damn eyes fixed on me like I’d stolen his kidney. Why the hell was he staring like that? I still hadn’t figured out where the hell I knew him from or why he called me a monster. But honestly? I didn’t give a shit."I wasn’t talking to you," I muttered, knowing I sounded like a complete idiot. They weren’t toddlers—they heard me.But what was my business?"You can call me when you’re ready to leave," Tilda’s voice rang out, loud and clear. The kids’ eyes immediately flicked to us. One of them—Austin or Aiden—raised a brow at me, then turned to Tilda."Is Daddy leaving?" he asked.Tilda looked at me, her brows pulled in."No, big boy. Daddy’s sti

    [Matilda]"I'm about to leave. You can give the cock a break and come look after the kids," The words echoed in my ear followed by the gentle beep of the phone. My jaw clenched hard, my hand tightening around my phone"What's the problem?" Leo asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I stared back at him and pulled the phone away from my ear, tucking it back into my pocket"Nothing," I gritted out, trying so hard to hold back the tears that were threatening to fallKnowing that Kaden still saw me as nothing but a whore makes my heart hurt and no matter how hard I try to pretend that it doesn't. It still does"Matilda, what's wrong? Who called you?" Leo was already on his feet, walking towards the bed where I was seatedI stared up at him and forced out a smile that I knew he saw through it"The kid's father. He said he's about to leave," I said and Leo took a step back, folding his hand across his chest as his eyes scanned all over my face and I couldn't help but notice how his jaw was c

    [Matilda]The soft hum of the car's engine barely registered in my mind as I took a slow deep breath. My heart was trembling and despite my best efforts to stay calm, it still felt like my chest was tightening with every passing second. It was finally the day that had given me a sleepless night for a while now. The day I would be facing Kaden in courtMy jaw clenched as I tried to calm my racing heart. My kids haven't stopped asking about him since the day he left a few days back. He had once called to talk to them but I denied him access, telling him that the kids were asleepI blew out a breath, my eyes shifting to the driver's seat, where Leo was seated with ease, his hand firm on the steering wheel, the other hand gripping the gear tightlyMy hand curled around the hem of my fitted black knee length gown"We're almost there," Leo's voice pulled me out of my daze. I turned my attention to him, watching as his eyes locked into mine before he turned his attention back to the roadI

I blew out a breath, my hand curling tighter, finger digging into my palmThe air was thick with tension as if the courtroom was closing in on me. I was acutely aware of every second. The tap of Sage's polished shoes against the marble floor as he made his way to the front row of the courtroom, standing tall and composedI took a deep breath, watching as he introduced himself, his calm demeanor making me feel a sense of calm for a split secondThe judge nodded as he was done introducing himself, signaling him to proceed"Your Honor," Sage continued.

Mrs Clara Williams," Richard called out and I couldn't help how my lips curled into a big smileMy eyes shifted to Tilda and my lips widened even more as I watched the shock on her faceShe's fucking too little to think she can stand against me. I know she would never in her lifetime be expecting her friend from Miami to be here today as a witnessShe was her very good friend from when she arrived in Miami and was almost the only close friend she had over thereWell I could go any length when I want something and she's fucking too small to think she could win against meMy heart clenched as the image of that bastard hugging her a few days ago in her room made its way to my head again. The fucking statement that left her mouth that day.I tilted my neck, shifting my gaze away from her to the main entrance where the red-headed lady was walking in majesticallyI blew out a deep breath, turning my eyes right back at Tilda, and damn t

    [Kaden]"Daddy, Mommy, please," one of the twins cried out, as he stared from me to his motherWas I insane to say my heart was thumping so fast with the idea of spending the night right here? Like what exactly was wrong with me? It should be because of my kids right, seeing my boys cry was breaking my heart and that was why I said the first thing that came to my mind without thinking about it"It's okay, Daddy is going to spend the night,""No!! You would never," Tilda blurted out, her eyes boring into mine. I tilted my neck, my brow creasing into a frown as I stared from her to the kids. Was she blind or something, seeing that the kids were bawling"Mommy, you don't want Daddy to spend the night," Aiden or Austin said and I watched as Tilda's eyes snapped shut, cursing under her breathShe flashed them a smile, that didn't quite reach her eyes."No baby of course, I want Daddy to...," She paused, glaring daggers at me before turning to the kids.

    [Matilda]"What the hell are you doing?" I snapped, staring into his eyes as he straightened up"What do you mean?" Kaden asked, a smirk curling up his lips. "Aren't we supposed to talk, or are you planning on not letting me get the three days a week too?"I rolled my eyes, walking over to the plate rack as I carefully placed the plate I could have ended up breaking it if I wasn't careful"Don't think everyone is as selfish as you, young man," I snapped, turning my attention to him as I leaned against the kitchen cabinet. "You were with the kids, and they weren't letting go so isn't it normal for me to stay still until we are alone? Or do you want me to discuss in front of the kids?" My eyes were shifting from him to the doorway to make sure the kids weren't coming"We can talk now, they are busy with their games," Kaden said. I averted my eyes from him and walked over to the living room and truly they were busy with whatever game they were playing on their iPadI took a deep breath a

    [Matilda]"Daddy, Austin, daddy is here!" Aiden sprang up from the couch rushing to the door where Kaden was standing with smiles all over his face. He dropped the bag in his hand and crouched down in time, grabbing him in his arms"Daddy!!" Austin ran down the stairs where he had gone to pick up his iPad. I watched as his eyes lit up as he ran towards Kaden, practically flying into his armsA smile spread across my lips as I watched him grabbing and spinning them around"My big boys," He cooed, placing a kiss on their hair. "How are you? Who missed Daddy?" Kaden asked placing them down I've known him so well to tell that there wasn't his hint of fear when the kids came running to him like he was a bit surprised that they did so and even when I didn't know the reason I could tell it was how the kids witnessed him lose in the courtroom"Daddy I missed you," Aiden smiled, pulling Kaden's hand and trying to swing with it"Me too Daddy, Mommy said you were busy that's why you've not come

    [Matilda]"Mommy, so we're going to start school soon?" Aiden asked excitedly as we walked back into the house with our shopping bags"Yes baby, are you excited about it?" I asked and he nodded, his tongue swirling around the lollipop in his hand"Yes Mommy, I've missed all my friends," Aiden said. My eyes shifted to Austin and I didn't fail to notice how his lips pouted into a small frown. I could tell he was so much enjoying their homeschoolingAt least, I could tell that everything was a bit over now even when I knew I should also be on the lookout. I knew how ruthless Donovan could be. But my children's life shouldn't be on pause"Mommy but I like my home teacher, why can't we school at home like we always do?" Austin asked as we walked into the kitchen. I placed the shopping bag on top of the counter before grabbing the little ones Austin and Aiden were holding"I know you like your home teacher my love, but it's time you resume school okay?

    [Kaden]I rolled my neck, the stiffness in it mirroring the tension in my chest as I stared at the files spread across my study table. After yesterday’s conversation with Mason and Ryan, we agreed to look deeper into the hospital records—and get a clearer picture of what we’re dealing with. That’s why I’d scheduled a meeting with someone I knew at the hospital. Three days from now.I glanced at the time on my wristwatch just as a knock echoed on the door.“Come in,” I called out, barely lifting my eyes from the files on my table “Sir, breakfast is ready,” I stared up at Zia, my head maid as she stood right in front of my doorI waved her off. “I’m not eating this morning.”She didn’t budge. Just stood there staring at me like I’d said something impossible.I looked up, arching a brow. “Zia, is there something else?”She hesitated, then stepped back with a slight shake of her head. “No, sir.”“Then you can go,” I said firmly.As she left, I sighed, dragging my hand down my face.

    [Kaden]My chest tightened. Someone helped him get to my father? It was possible for my father to have passed from a heart attack following his condition but was it natural or was it triggered?"This doesn't make sense Kaden. Oh good lord, no don't tell me my husband was murdered," my mum palmed her face"Mom, don't do this, we are not sure yet, we only have to look into it," Loretta said and my mother stiffened before turning to face her"Look into it? Where are we supposed to do that from?" My mother snapped making Loretta flinch, taking a step back"The only one who can give us an answer to this is dead," my mum voiced out, her teeth clenched tightly. I swallowed hard leaning back in my seatDr Arlan died a week after my father's death! Was this...?"Could it be that this also has something to do with Doctor Arlan's death?" I voiced out, my mother and sister's eyes snapping towards me"Exactly, him dying a week after your father's death? And now theirs a report that looks like your

    [Kaden]The drive to the Donovan mansion was too quiet. My hand stayed locked around the steering wheel, tighter than usual. Loretta’s voice wouldn’t stop echoing in my head—and neither would the sound of my mother’s shaky breathing.What the hell was going on?The second I stepped into the mansion, I felt it. Something was off. The air was heavy and tense. I hadn’t even made it halfway down the hall when Loretta rushed up to me, her brows drawn tight.“Where’s Mom?” I asked before she could say anything.“She’s in Dad's study,” she said quickly.I didn’t stop to respond. My steps were sharp against the marble floor as I headed straight for the study. My chest got tighter the closer I got. The door creaked a little as I pushed it open.She looked up the moment I entered. And just from the look on her face, I knew it wasn’t good. My stomach turned.She barely visited Dad's study ever since he passed. Neither did she try to touch any of his things. According to her, revisiting the memor

    [Kaden]The past few days have been the most chaotic days of my life. Trying to make sure my mum wouldn't do anything silly. Hell, I knew Vivian Donovan and I know talking her out of it wouldn't work so the the only thing I am doing is keeping track of her. Because I know she can be ruthless when she wants to but they should at least trust me and let me handle thisMy jaw locked as a knock came on the door making me tilt my neck as I stared at the blank laptop I've been trying to work on a thing or two but I just couldn't do anything"Come in," I ordered and the door swung open revealing my PA, "Sir," he walked closer to me with the stacks of files in his hand. "I needed your signatures on these files," He said before dropping the files on the tableI leaned closer and pulled the file closer. I grabbed them one after the other placing my signatures on itMy mind was still a whole mess. Would I be seen as selfish to say I was considering what Cherry said days back even if I wouldn

    [Matilda]The moment Leo’s lips crashed against mine, everything in my body went stiff. At first, the warmth of his mouth felt like a comforting embrace, but then, something shifted. My heart hammered in my chest, thudding so loudly in my ears that I was sure he could hear it. My mind screamed at me. Kiss him back. Just this once. Hold him. Let go. But the more I tried to close my eyes and lose myself in the moment, the more off it felt.The connection wasn’t there. It should’ve been—it should have been, but it wasn’t. My breath caught in my throat, and my body froze in place, resisting him. Leo’s kiss deepened, but my lips stayed unmoving as if betraying the very person who had stood by me through everything. The guilt hit me harder than I expected, settling in the pit of my stomach like a heavy stone.Why couldn’t I kiss him back? Why couldn’t I just let go and feel something for him? Leo wanted me. He cared for me. I could see it in the way he looked at me, how he always stepped i
