I knew what I had to do, and that was to tell Alex everything, clear my mother's name and leave to a place where they would never hear from me again.I'm done, ruining my mum's happiness.“I love you mum,” I said, feigning a smile, “You need to get some rest right now. We will talk later, okay?”“Of course. I do need the rest. Don't think too much about everything, okay?” She said, and I gave her a nod, as long as that would satisfy her.She gave me another hug and I left the room, heading to mine.Inside the big, luxuriously decorated room, I released a sad sigh, staring at the space that I had gotten very used to in the past few weeks.Of course, I never assumed that it would be my permanent habitation, but I guess there was this small part of me who wished it would be worth it this time.But why fight and deny reality? This is me. Happiness and I don't go hand in hand.Do I need to take a bag? That would attract attention. Besides, I didn't come with any bag. I could just prepare
The moment Dean left my room, I blinked away the tears threatening to fall, swallowing hard as if the lump in my throat could magically disappear.At this point, I have no idea what to say or do about my mate bond.My mum is my concern for now, my main concern.But I can't deny that there's a part of me that wants this….the triplets.The part of me that wants to see where we could go, the part of me that wants to let go and trust them.Dr. P was right. I've made lots of progress these past periods of time and thinking about it now, I am so proud of myself.But what if I can get more?What if they can give me more?I clenched my fists and took in a deep yet shaky breath. I'll think about that later. I'll think about my next cause of action later, for now, I have to take care of matters concerning my mum.Besides, the triplets will not be seeing me soon.I didn't leave my room all day until later at night, when the grumbles in my stomach signified that it wanted food, fast.Well, if I'm
Three days later, things were thankfully a little different in the house. And by different, I mean Alex and mum. They were back to being all lovey-dovey. Asides that, everything else was the same.Isabella is still a bitch, and she has gotten worse now that the boys weren't speaking to me anymore.Yes…they were still giving me cold treatments, not that I cared, of course.Liar_ Well, maybe I care way more than I should, but who can blame me? I'm not ready to share with them, and if that means they will keep ignoring me, they should really go ahead and have at it.Besides, I have other concerns right now and well… I need to take care of things one by one.Number one priority being to get rid of Isabella.I was thinking about Andes and calling him back later today as I walked down the stairs when I heard Isabella's annoying giggle and Damian's voice from the kitchen.Of course, I thought as my stomach coiled. He is with her.Every fucking time, Isabella, Isabella.Next they will com
Damon's sob tote through my heart because if there was anyone who understands what it means to carry a nightmare like that…it's me.Until today, I can still see a pair of green eyes in my dreams, and it's not even funny. So I understand perfectly what he is going through.His shoulders shook under my hand, and I didn't say anything. Just allowed him to pour it all out as I stroked his shaking back.Eventually, his sobs slowly died down, and he turned to look at me, his eyes all red and face puffy, from the crying.“Damon,” I began gently, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Thank you for sharing that with me. I know it couldn't have been easy.”He nodded, wiping his face with the back of his hand, “It's just something I've carried with me for so long,” he admitted, his voice cracking slightly.I offered a warm smile, “You don't have to carry it alone anymore. “Damon's eyes met mine, "I appreciate that, Hannah. I just had to pour it out, you know? To avoid being hypocritical.”
The soft morning light streamed through my curtains, painting gentle patterns on the walls of my room. I stirred beneath the cozy covers, slowly emerging from the embrace of slumber, and was about to sit up when a strong held me back. It took me a moment to remember the events of last night, the closeness, the laughter, and the sex.Damn, the rounds and rounds of sex.As I turned my head slightly to the side, my heart skipped a beat. There they were, my mates, still peacefully asleep besides me. My eyes roved over their features, taking in the boyish charm of Dean, the gentle lines on Damon's face that hinted at his thoughtfulness, and the rugged allure of Damian. They looked so serene in their slumber, innocent almost, which seemed in stark contrast to the intimacy we had shared just hours ago.I was aching, in all the right places and now staring at them, I couldn't stop the blush on my face at the vivid recollection of the hot night we had shared togetherThe way they had kissed
The animosity in Isabella's voice had me freezing in shock.What exactly was wrong?I thought she was in love with the triplets?Or was that all just pretenses?If so, why the hate? What did they do to her to prompt this amount of hatred I can hear in her voice?I checked the file again and saw five more recordings after that, but I have had enough for now. I'll listen to these later, once I have wrapped my head around everything I just discovered.Isabella hates this family.She was working with Nathaniel, and they had a boss who's still unknown.They have a plan which I don't know but will end with their family members disgraced and dead.She is responsible for her husband's death.And that's a lot to process.I turn off my phone and head out of the room, for some fresh air and wanting a cup of hot tea, too.I walked into the kitchen and stopped when I saw Isabella sipping a glass of wine and from the aroma in the kitchen I could guess that she was baking or something.“Hey Hannah,”
Oh dear,”I turned to my mum, clearly surprised. Yes, I remember Lady Eleanor from the bonfire.She was one of the gorgeous Lunas I was introduced to, and I could recall her saying that she'd love me to meet her daughter.I had no idea she would be visiting today.“Yeah, I know I'm surprised too,” Alex says, “She was supposed to visit a day after the bonfire, but I guess things came up or something.”“This is good, though. This is great for Hannah. She should start making friends from the eleven families,” mum says, and Alex nods.“I'm right here, guys. Don't talk about me like I'm invisible.” “Whatever. Well, come down and meet your visitor.”Oh my God, this cannot be happening.“Gosh this is so stressful,”“Maurice is a lovely lady. You will love her,” Alex says reassuringly, and mum laughs.“Yeah, the problem is that she's…too lovely and cheerful, but that's precisely what you need. Stop whining, and please change into something more…. Presentable,”“I don't have to…..”Another kn
Mum's door was open _yeah, big surprise there_ when I got to her room, so I peaked in and saw her sitting on the bed alone, her attention on her phone.“Mum,” I whisper, and she turns, smiling.“Hannah, come on in,” she said, dropping her phone as I walked into her room.“Hey mum,” “Hannah, what can I do for you?”I took a seat opposite her, my fingers nervously clutching my phone. “Mom, there's something I need to tell you, something I've discovered.”Her brow furrowed in concern. “What is it, dear? You look so serious.”“It's about Isabella,” I say, and then proceed to tell her how I heard her talking to Nathaniel once after she was kidnapped, and how I started suspecting her.Then the other phone calls I overheard. And also went ahead to tell her how I decided to carry on my investigation.When I finished, my mum's fingers were on her lip and she looked shocked.“Are you sure about this, Hannah? This is some serious accusation.”Wordlessly, I opened my phone, and played one of the
