CHAPTER TWENTY SEVENAuthors POVUnwilling to leave her kids again, Nora stepped out of the house with Aiden. They drove in his chauffeur and dropped in front of the party hall. Nora and Aiden walked into the party hall. It was a large, opulent space, with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and white marble floors. The walls were covered in mirrors, and there were large windows that looked out onto a beautiful garden. Guests were milling about, talking and laughing. "Wow, this is quite the party," Aiden said, looking around."Are you sure you want to be here?" Nora asked and rolled her eyes. Of course she would have been anywhere but here. She hoped her identity would not be revealed earlier than she expected. Aiden and Nora located the VIp seat James had prepared for them. They sat comfortably, as guests who seemed to be friendly with Aiden arrived at the table to exchange handshakes. "I heard you got married Aiden. Awwn, she is so damn pretty," one of them teased. Nora wasn't
CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHTNORAI didn't feel like their was a need to say anything to Aiden, I wanted to just leave. As I made a move to leave, Aiden grabbed my arm. "Please, wait," You don't have to leave. Just tell me what's going on," Aiden pleaded further. I hesitated for a bit. "It's complicated. It's not something I can explain here." Aiden frowned. "Can you at least tell me if you're in some kind of danger?" he asked. I shook her head. "I'm not in any physical danger. But, this is something I need to deal with on my own," I insisted. As my anxiety grew, I knew I couldn't stay at the party any longer. "I can't do this," I said to Aiden. "Let's get out of here." "I'm with you," he said and nodded.. "We can leave right now if you want." I felt a wave of relief wash over me. "Thank you," I said. I grabbed Aiden's hand unconsciously, and wemade their way out of the party hall and into the night air. As we walked out of the party hall, Aiden turned to me, his face serious. "Y
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE I wouldn't be going anywhere today. I wanted to rest from the tiring work the past week. It was another new week, and I needed to cool my head. I walked out of my room to have breakfast but met the kids already eating. I wanted to observe them for a while, and I didn't know the reason. I sat at the head of the couch in the sitting room, watching the kids keenly. I noticed something odd about Aria. She was eating like me. She had a very huge appetite, which I had a little idea of, but I never knew it was to this extent. She ate exactly the way I did, the appetite aside. She chewed like me as well. I thought only my kids would have this feature. The thought made my heart sink.It had to be a coincidence, right? I tried to focus on something else, but I couldn't get it out of my head. Then, I noticed something else. Archie looked like my mom, slightly. This was all just too weird. I had to be imagining things. There was no way this could be real. Or was it? As I sa

Finally, she spotted one in the corner, and she quickly made her way over to it.She sat down, trying to relax and focus on the task at hand. But she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, being surrounded by so many people. A few minutes later, Chris walked into the coffee shop, looking a little disheveled. He quickly spotted Nora at her table, and he hurried over to her. "I'm so sorry I'm late," he said, sounding slightly out of breath. "There was a traffic jam on the way here."Nora looked up at him and smiled. "It's okay, don't worry about it, I'm just glad you made it, " she said, trying to put him at ease."I think I could use a coffee," Chris, said taking a seat next to Nora.His eyes was glued to her face, he tried to read her facial expression. "Do you want anything?""I'll just have a black coffee, please," Nora replied. "Two
CHAPTER THIRTY _ ONENora sat still in her seat, trying to figure out what to do. She picked up her phone and texted Chris even though he was seated right in front of her. She wouldn't risk drawing Allison's attention to herself. What if she said something and Allison caught them?She was more concerned about Chris. She wouldn't want Allison to see them together even. She wouldn't mind if she was seen alone. Her eyes caught Chris's disguise cap on his table. Chris's phone vibrated, and he picked it up almost immediately. He saw the text from Nora and raised his head to look at her. She smiled at him, and he opened the text, wondering why Nora texted him when they were together. He read the text, and his eyes widened when he read that Allison was behind them. He quickly picked his face cap from the table and gave Nora an assuring smile that they wouldn't get caught. Chris puts on the cap, pulling it low over his eyes so that he's not easily recognizable. He switched to the next tabl
