I forced a smile onto my face. “I’m sorry.”

    Chapter 52Aria Blake ~•~ “I don’t think you’ve been really focused on work,” my boss said as he folded his hands on top of his desk. I forced a smile onto my face. “I’m sorry.” “Sorry isn’t going to cut it. You’re the leader of your team and you can’t be caught slacking.” This wasn’t the first time he had called me to his office over the past few weeks. Ever since Julian had shown up in Texas, my life had been a total mess. Between work, the kids, Samuel, and Julian constantly trying to push my boundaries, I barely had enough energy to think straight.“You’ve made three mistakes on important files this week alone,” he continued. “That’s not like you.”I couldn’t even argue with him because he was right. I lowered my gaze. “I’m sorry, sir. It won’t happen again.” There was a beat of silence. Then he asked. “Are you going through something? Do you need some time off?” I shook my head. “No, that won’t be necessary, sir. I’ll be focused from now on and I won’t make any mistakes.

    Chapter 51Aria Blake ~•~ Julian looked shocked when I accused him of sending my mom to convince me to take the kids back to New York because she wanted to see them. But I already knew that he wasn’t expecting me to find out about it and he was stunned because he had been caught. “Uhm… I…” Julian stuttered and couldn’t even come up with a coherent response. “Yeah, no need to deny it,” I cut in sharply. “You could have used a better approach. I would have even tried to believe it if it were your mom you sent to tell me that bullshit instead.” His face fell. “I wasn’t asking her to manipulate you… she was the one who came up with the idea.” I let out a humorless chuckle. “Of course, you’d deny it.” “Just forget about the conversation with your mom,” he continued, his voice hoarse. “When can I see the kids during the weekdays?” Was Julian just trying to stir up shit? The kids had school and I wasn’t looking to distract them by allowing them to go out during the weekday. Why

    Chapter 50Julian Cross~•~ After spending about an hour at the mall, we were finally done shopping. The trolley was filled with different kinds of toys. Whatever the kids wanted, I asked them to throw it into the trolley. I knew that Aria was going to be upset when she saw them. But I didn’t mind. My main priority at the moment was to make the kids happy. Isla didn’t talk much. I could tell she didn’t like me that much. But Owen was finally warming up to me. Throughout our car ride to the mall, he kept telling me about things that had happened since he was a baby—the ones he could remember. As I listened to him, a part of me felt sad because I didn’t get to experience it with them, but I masked my emotions. I knew about them now and that was all that mattered. We got to the counter and I paid for the toys. One of the workers at the mall helped take the shopping bags to the car. When Aria saw that I was about to load everything in the trunk of my car, she stepped out of her

    Chapter 49Aria Blake ~•~ “We got divorced,” I forced out the words from my mouth. Isla wouldn’t stop asking questions if she didn’t get the answer she wanted. “He had no idea I was pregnant after we’d gotten divorced.” “So why didn’t you tell him about it later? Did he treat you badly?” Her question caught me off-guard. But I wasn’t entirely surprised. Isla had always been too perceptive for her age. I reached out and tucked a stray curl behind her ear. “You don’t have to always know the answer to certain things. We will probably talk about it when you’re old enough.” Julian breathed, his eyes mirroring his relief. “Thank you,” he mouthed to me. The kids hadn’t warmed up to Julian. I knew that there was a probability that things would get messy, and the fact that they didn’t like him would work to my own advantage. But at the same time, I didn’t want them to hate him. I mean, they shared the same DNA and he was actually their father. Julian might not have been the best hus

    Chapter 48Julian Cross ~•~ As I drove over to the restaurant, my hands were clammy with sweat. I could command a boardroom filled with adults at work, but right now, two five-year-olds were making me nervous. I’d met them before, but they had no idea who I was. Aria had finally told them the truth about me, and I had no idea how they took it. I wasn’t even sure if they were looking forward to meeting me. Our first encounter wasn’t exactly the best—they accused me of kidnapping them and threatened to shout until I called their mother. And they were already used to knowing Samuel as their father. The transition to me wasn’t going to be easy. What if they wouldn’t even accept me? I mean, if someone told me that the man whom I’d known for my whole life as my father wasn’t my real father, I wouldn’t take it lightly either.The thought about everything was suffocating. “Breathe, they’re just kids,” I whispered to myself as I pulled into the restaurant's parking lot. “And they’re y

    Chapter 47Julian Cross ~•~ “You’ve been there for almost a week, Julian… we have a company to run,” Cole’s annoyed voice came through the other end of the line. “When are you coming back to New York?” Cole knew what was happening over here but he just wanted to piss me off. “You can run the company without me for a few weeks. Stop acting like the world is about to end.” Cole snorted. “I know, but it doesn’t mean that you should stay there forever. You have responsibilities over here.” I rolled my eyes even though he couldn’t see me. “The only thing I care about now is getting to know my kids. I don’t know why you’re trying to make me upset.” Cole was quiet for a while, then he snorted. “I’m not trying to make you upset, I know you want to know your kids. I want that for you too,” he replied. “But I want you to remember that you have a life back here too.” I swallowed hard. “So what are you insinuating?” “What is your plan? I just want to make sure that you have a solid plan,
