[Kaden] My eyes lifted from my laptop as I noticed my home office door open with a loud thud. My jaw clenched. Cherry stood in the doorway, her gaze locked on mine. She has refused to talk to me since the last time, and the more I tried to apologize, the more she distanced herself. So I just let her be "Hey!" I mumbled, watching as she stalked towards me and plopped on the seat opposite mine. "Are you okay?" I asked. She rolled her eyes as if she had not just come in here uninvited. She pulled out her phone and dropped it on my desk, making my brow crease as I stared at the shattered screen. "How can I be okay when that miserable thing decided to deliberately bump into me just to break my phone? Does she know how much this phone costs?" Cherry snapped, making my brows crease even more. What is she talking about? "What happened?" I asked with a low voice. "I ran into your miserable, gold-digging ex-wife, and she did this. Showed up in my face after six years just to un

[Matilda]"You didn't have to, you're spoiling these kids so much!" I scolded Leo as we left the restaurant, and he still insisted on taking them to the park.We ended up coming to one of the best restaurants in NYC as Leo wanted us to go on a date with the kids and have fun, but he wasn't still satisfied.Just a word from Aiden and Austin about going to the park, and we are on our way to the amusement park."Allow me to spoil my boys, will you? I will do anything for them!" "Of course, that's why you are spoiling them so much!" I rolled my eyes, my eyes shifting to the rearview mirror as I watched them in the backseat, focused on the game they were playing on Leo's iPad "They make us proud, so if spoiling them is all I can do, why not?" Leo mumbled, and I shook my head, giving up. I would never win an argument with him when it's about the kidsI took a deep breath staring out of the window as I bit down on my lower lip I wasn't sure if my brain was beginning to mess with me but wh

[Kaden]My jaw clenched hard as I stared at the full report Spider had given me on Tilda. After my conversation with Mason a few days ago, I couldn't help myself. I had instructed Spider to get me everything about her from six years ago, including where she lived and any man she had been involved with.And here I was, staring at it for the umpteenth time since he handed me her full report. She had moved to Miami a few days after our divorce. And had given birth exactly eight months after she leftNo matter how hard I tried, I couldn't convince myself that the kids were mine because the Tilda I knew wouldn't hesitate to tell me she was pregnant when I filed for divorce. Because I knew she was a leech! A fucking gold digger who wanted everything easy and it could have been another easy means for her to try to hold me down. So why would she keep the pregnancy from me? That was why I was doubting whatever was making its way into my headThere weren't many reports on her! She only kept a

[Matilda]"The twins are my kids, aren't they? What made you think you could hide it from me forever!" Kaden's voice was low as he asked making me glare back at him My hand tightened. My fingers dug into my palm as I averted my gaze from Kaden. My jaw clenched hard as I tried to calm the sudden fear that was threatening to consume me."I have no idea what you're talking about," I spat, and Kaden's eyes darkened."I asked a simple question, and I deserve an answer. Don't be stupid like you've always been, they are my kids as right?!" Kaden spat, making my blood boil. What made this man think he could come to my house to call me names"You're a joker! A big one at that! To think you will come to my house to insult me. Kaden for the last time get the hell out and no, Kaden, my kids are not yours so please leave!" I growled, my jaw clenching hard, but the man in front of me chose to smirk."Five years and four month ago, at St Andres Hospital in Miami, at exactly 4 p.m. on a Friday, the

[Matilda]The bell chimed softly as the last customer stepped out of my bakery. I forced a smile, my lips stretching just enough to mask the exhaustion weighing on me"Thank you so much, have a good day. I hope to see you again!" My voice was warm but my body achedAs the door clicked shut I flipped the sign to closed. I leaned against the glass door releasing a heavy sigh"That was a lot!" I murmured, tilting my neck from side to sideFrom the corner of my eyes, I stared at Aiden and Austin seated quietly near the counter. My heart softened at the sight of them, their tiny feet swinging beneath the chairIt was the weekend and I had brought them to my store today since their nanny was not available to stay with them so I had no option but to take them with meAustin's eyes turned towards me like he could sense I was looking at them. He smiled. "Mummy, can I have another cake? Aiden already finished the one you gave us." Austin asked softly but I was quick to shake my head. They've ha
