Kayla's POV

Whatever one loved, it was a natural instinct to protect it. That motivated me to keep walking.

As much as I loathed the idea of going back there, it was the only option I had to keep my kids alive.

I trudged along with my suitcase heading towards the main street. I waved my hand, and a cab came to a halt. I pushed my luggage inside before climbing into the back seat.

“Where to?” the cab driver questioned.

“Eastwood,” I murmured, barely above a whisper.

He gave a low whistle. “That

    Kayla's POV It felt like a fever dream and someone had finally woken me up.I wasn’t the chosen girl who met her prince and life forever changed.I was Kayla.The girl who survives. That was all it was.With a grunt, I carried my things inside the house, and in the same breath, I was handed a mop bucket and a sponge.“When you are done, don’t forget the laundry, the dishes, and the toilet,” Beauty slurred.“While I’ll go meet Klaus and congratulate him for finally returning to his senses,” Josh intoned, grinning as he walked away.“Well start!” Beauty ordered, deriving joy as she watched me scrub the floors.As soon as I was done, I dragged myself to the laundry room, scrunching my nose at the foul smell of alcohol and sweat.I looked around the dimly lit laundry room in disgust. I couldn’t tell where one heap ended and the next began. My stepfamily had been living like this for weeks. The audacity to call me the filthy one.But I was at their mercy so I rolled up my sleeves and got

I didn’t have much, but it would get me there. Hopefully.The cab driver eyed me through the rear-view mirror, and after a pause, he stepped on the gas.The ride to my new life began. I rested a hand on my belly, trying to calm the flutter inside. “We’ll be okay,” I whispered to the lives growing within me. “Mama’s going to keep you safe.”The cab stopped outside a house that used to be home. The porch light flickered weakly, and I could alread

    Kayla's POV My eyes fluttered open and I blinked, unsure if I’d been asleep, dead or somewhere in between.After a while my blurry vision cleared, then Dr. Clara’s face leaned into view. She looked upset more than usual. No, she wasn’t upset, she looked worried.Groaning, I forced my body up on trembling arms. “Why do you look like that?” My voice rasped in an unrecognizable tone.She helped adjust my pillow so I could sit straight. My body felt numb like part of it was asleep. “Glad to see you awake, Kayla. You had serious complications, you scared all of us.” she uttered in a grave tone.The words sent panic through me and my heart lurched as I realized I was at the hospital. Instinctively, my hand flew to my belly. “My babies… I choked out my parched throat, not letting me finish my statement.“They’re fine,” Clara assured, handing me a bottle of water. I took it and drank a little to clear my throat.“But you must start taking better care of yourself. You can’t afford to push y

    Kayla’s POVAzel shrank back, visibly shaking. I walked up to her to snap her out of her daze, failing miserably to hide my smile.My heart swelled for her, but she was at a loss of words, Andrew also looked shaken.I understood how she felt, I went through something similar with Klaus. No, I wasn't going to jinx her moment by thinking about my failed bond.“Azel this is good news” I said elated, breaking the uncomfortable silence. “You should be happy”But she only shook her head, backing up like she’d been accused of something. Her lips quivered, her knuckles still white around that poor folder she held.“How convenient,” Raymond muttered, his eyes fixated on Andrew.“Raymond.” I warned, throwing him a look. I knew he was suspicious of him but this was Azel's moment.She didn't feel worthy to get a mate and now this would be a chance to prove her wrong, she deserved all the happiness in the world regardless of her social stance.“Andrew, we'd like to invite you to the palace until y

    Kayla's POV Surprisingly, the more I shoved food down my throat, the more my appetite returned and I ate more than I thought I would be able to.But the moment the euphoria of the food stopped, the cold silence returned to the table, mocking me.I decided to wave it off and go for a walk.My legs moved of their own accord, taking me outside. The front yard was empty except for the guards stationed outside.I couldn’t help but imagine how lovely it would be, watching my kids play tag, running through the lawn while Klaus…The image shattered as my current reality slapped me harshly across the face. I returned inside with a frown etched into my face. I needed to stop fantasizing about things that would never come true.I didn’t relish returning to my room, but it looked like the only option. As I pushed the door open, an idea struck me.I could go train in the gym, there would be too much adrenaline rushing through me- I wouldn't have time to think of anything.It sounded logical so I

    Kayla's POV Azel’s jaw dropped to the floor. “Me?” She looked thunderstruck.I nodded, grinning from ear to ear. “I can't think of anyone better for the position”“But my lady, why me? Your kids deserve the best, a wealthy lady who can cater to their needs, not a maid”“Shh, I stopped her. “You're not just a maid to me. You're a friend Azel and it is not a proposition it's an order. You will be my twins’ godmother”Her hands flew up and found mine, “I’m honored my lady” she squealed, elated.I cupped her cheeks, wiping a tear that slipped down her jowls. “I’m sure they can't wait to meet you”“Me too,” she changed her stance, placing her hands in front of her, returning back to her maiden character. “Let's get you ready for the night”***Kayla, please…No.Kayla you have to help me before it's too late, help me Kayla!My eyes snapped open as I jolted awake, my breath ragged and my heart plummeting in my rib cage.
