KENDRAIt was much later on in the night and Gabriel, and I were both sitting in the lounge and going over some work stuff. He had made it clear that he was going to be spending the night here, and for once I didn’t complain. Makayla made some strong coffee for both of us, before she got ready to leave, as she was going out on a date with this guy who she had met online. “Why don’t you guys watch something together, I mean all you do is work” she said with a small smile as she put on her jacket. “Work is always more important” I said before I finished adding the last touches to my upcoming presentation that I was going to present to some senior members of my team. Gabriel leaned back against the couch and gently massaged the back of his neck, before he picked up his big mug of coffee.“Makayla’s right, we could do with a short break” he said before he closed his laptop and made himself more comfortable. I gave him a look with my eyes, thinking it seemed like he just needed an ex
GABRIELI was on an important work phone call when Kendra walked into my office and closed the door after herself, looking as stunning as she always did. She was wearing denim trousers with a white casual top that was nicely showing off a hint of her perfectly toned stomach. “I’ll call you right back” I said to the man on the phone, before I stood up and met Kendra with a tight hug, thinking it wasn’t often she came to my office, and I wondered what bought her here today. I didn’t miss the way she tensed in my arms for a slight moment before she relaxed. “Are you ok?” I asked her before I sat back down in my seat and watched her walk around the desk, my eyes falling on her sexy behind, that was nicely shaped by the denim trousers she was wearing. “I want to talk to you about something, shall we go out for lunch?” Kendra asked as she fixed one of her dangly earrings. “That’s fine, just give me a minute and then we’ll go” I said before I rang my secretary and told her to cancel al
KENDRAI felt my whole world stop, the moment my eyes fell on the guy who was standing casually in the kids room and watching them sleep. He looked just like someone I knew, even though he had his back to the camera and I couldn’t see his face properly. I quickly got up from my seat and raced back upstairs, wondering how the hell someone had got into the apartment without setting off any of the alarms. “Kendra wait don’t go alone” Makayla called out to me, but I didn’t stop running. I pushed opened the door to the triplets room and instantly felt relieved the moment I found all three of them sleeping peacefully in their own beds. The room looked exactly how I had left it a short awhile ago and there was no sight of the man who me and Makayla had both seen on the kids night camera. He looked just like Elias from behind, but I knew it wasn’t him and that I was just imagining stuff, even though a part of me wished that it was him, just so that I could see him again and hear his voi
MAKAYLA“You look gorgeous tonight” I told Kendra as I curled her long hair and looked at her through the mirror, thinking tonight was the first time she was going out with Gabriel, and I couldn’t be more happy for her as she truly deserved it. Gabriel was a good guy and someone who I knew would treat her well.When Kendra first told me that she had agreed to give him a chance, I was a little sad but quickly got over it as if there was anyone who could take my brothers place then that was Gabriel as he had been there for her from the very beginning. “I think I should ring Gabriel and tell him I cant make it” Kendra said as she picked up her phone from the dressing table and quickly unlocked it. It wasn’t the first time she had said this, and I knew it was because she felt guilty, even though she didn’t say it out loud. “You can’t keep doing this Ken, go out and enjoy yourself” I said as I put the curling tong away and looked down at her, hoping she listened. “We can go another da
THREE YEARS LATERKENDRAThe last three years had passed by as a blur, and I honestly didn’t know how I was still alive and breathing without Elias by my side.Not a day passed when I didn’t remember him and his warm presence. Even the best detectives in the city hadn’t been able to find him, and with each day that passed I was slowly losing hope that I would ever see him again as he had been gone for far too long. The only thing that kept me going was our three beautiful children who reminded me everyday that a part of Elias would always belong with me no matter what happened. I had given birth to the most perfect little human beings, a little girl called Eliana and two identical twin boys who I named Konrad and Kaiden. They spent the first six weeks of their lives in hospital as they were all born before their estimated due date but since then they were all well and had grown nicely. I never thought it was possible for me to love them as much as I did but they were definitely th
KENDRAIt took me a moment to understand what the hell Mikel wanted from me as I opened the file and quickly read through it. “Sign it now” He muttered before he glanced at his watch.I closed the file and looked up at him angrily. “You will never be a part of my kids life, you’re an idiot if you thought I’d agree to this willingly” I said with a small frown, thinking how dare he ask to adopt one of my unborn babies. Mikel took a step towards me held the gun he was holding in his hand against the side of my head. “Then I guess I have no choice other than to kill you and take them myself” he said angrily, and it was in that moment I realised that I couldn’t put my life at risk or that of the triplets inside of me that were kicking more then usual. “Fine I’ll sign it” I said quickly as I just wanted him to back off and leave me alone. Mikel moved the gun from the side of my head and looked down at me angrily, like I was his worst enemy. “Make it quick” he said as he watched me cl
