Chapter 24 : Protective

Sophia’s POV

“Hiding? You say I am hiding them? Yes, I am and there is nothing you can do.”

My voice was shaking, but I did not care anymore.

Everything I had spent years protecting was suddenly standing in front of me, exposed.

“I raised them myself. I carried them. I suffered for them. I stayed awake when they were sick. I worked until I could barely stand just to feed them. You cannot come back now and take them away from me.”

Ethan’s jaw tightened. For the first tim

    CHAPTER Fifty Ethan’s POVThe office was unusually quiet after I returned from the dinner.Most of the staff had already gone home, leaving only a few lights on throughout the building. The silence did not bother me tonight. In fact, it felt strangely peaceful.I leaned back in my chair and looked through the large glass window behind my desk.The city lights stretched far into the distance, but my thoughts were nowhere outside that window.They were still sitting around that dinner table, I could still see Alex smiling every time he spoke, I could still remember the excitement in his eyes when he talked about school.For years, I had imagined what my children might be like.Tonight, I finally stopped imagining. Now I knew. Alex talked with his whole heart, he became excited over the smallest things.He smiled easily, he reminded me so much of myself when I was his age.Then my thoughts shifted to Lexa, a small smile appeared on my face without me realizing it.She was stubborn, car

    Chapter Forty NineSophia's POVThe dining room gradually became more comfortable than it had been when we first arrived.The awkward silence that filled the beginning of the evening slowly disappeared, replaced by simple conversations that felt natural instead of forced.Alex did most of the talking.He spoke about school, about his teachers, about how he and Lexa had become Student Representatives, and even about the football match his class planned to play the following week.Ethan listened to every single word with complete attention.He never interrupted.Whenever Alex spoke, Ethan looked at him as though every sentence mattered.It was not the kind of attention someone pretended to give.It was the attention of a father trying to make up for years he could never get back.Several times, I caught myself watching Ethan instead of listening to Alex.His expression softened every time Alex smiled.It was almost as if he wanted to remember every little expression on his son’s face.L

    CHAPTER Forty EightSophia’s POVBy the time we arrived at the hotel, the sky had already begun to darken.The lights outside the building were beautiful, making the entire place look warm and welcoming.I stood outside for a few seconds, looking at the large entrance. This was one of the most luxurious hotels in the city, people dressed in expensive clothes walked in and out confidently while luxury cars stopped one after another in front of the entrance.I looked down at Alex and Lexa. “Are you both ready?” I asked.Alex nodded almost immediately, Lexa hesitated for a second before giving me a small nod.I gently held both of their hands. “We’re only here to have dinner, nothing more.”The twins nodded together, we walked inside.The hotel was even more beautiful than it looked from outside, the floor shone brightly beneath the lights, soft music filled the air, and staff members welcomed guests with warm smiles.A receptionist politely asked for our reservation, I told her Ethan

    CHAPTER Forty SevenSophia’s POVI had just finished arranging the dinner plates on the dining table when my phone began to ring.The sound echoed through the quiet house, making me stop what I was doing.Alex and Lexa were sitting in the living room, watching television, although neither of them seemed interested in what was playing.I picked up my phone from the kitchen counter and looked at the screen.The moment I saw the name, I became still, Ethan.I stared at it for several seconds, part of me wanted to reject the call immediately, another part of me wondered why he was calling instead of sending Breed.The phone continued ringing. Finally, I answered.“Hello.”There was silence for a brief moment before his familiar voice came through.“Sophia.” His voice sounded calmer than usual. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”I leaned against the kitchen counter.“What do you want?”There was another pause. “I would like to invite you to dinner.”I frowned. “Dinner?”“Yes.”He spoke carefu

    CHAPTER Forty SixAlex’s POVThe next morning felt completely different from the day before.The moment Lexa and I arrived at school, I noticed that people were looking at us again. This time, however, their expressions were not filled with suspicion like they had been before. Instead, they looked uncertain, almost like they wanted to say something but did not know how to begin.Lexa noticed it too, but she acted as though she did not care.We walked quietly toward our classroom and took our seats, not long after the first lesson began, our class teacher walked inside with the headmaster.The room became silent immediately.Everyone stood up to greet them before sitting down again.The headmaster looked around the classroom for a few moments before speaking.“I have something important to announce.”His voice was calm, but serious enough to make every student pay attention. He looked directly at Lexa before continuing.“Yesterday, a misunderstanding happened in this school.”The classr

    CHAPTER FORTY Five Sophia’s POVI had barely managed to focus on work that morning.The files on my desk remained open, but I had been reading the same page for almost ten minutes without understanding a single word. Every time I tried to concentrate, my thoughts returned to the school.I kept seeing Lexa’s face, I kept hearing Alex trying to defend his sister.Then I remembered Ethan standing there, the memory refused to leave me alone.A soft knock came on my office door.“Come in,” I answered without looking up.The door opened, and Breed walked inside.He looked at me for a moment before speaking.“Mr. Ethan would like to see you.”I slowly raised my head.For a few seconds, I simply looked at him. “I don’t think there is anything we need to discuss.”Breed sighed quietly. “I understand how you feel, Sophia.”“No,” I replied calmly. “I don’t think anyone understands how I feel.”He remained silen“I have work to do.”“He said it is important.”I gave a small, tired smile that never
