Chapter 81 - Flashback Ends

[Matilda]"What the hell are you doing here?" Kaden snapped, his voice hitting me like a punch, sharp and full of venom making my whole body trembleI opened my mouth to speak but shut it again. Nothing came out. I bit my lower lip hard, locking eyes with him as he swept his gaze over me like I was filth. His fists clenched at his sides."Kaden, sit down," Mr. Black’s voice cut through the tension. I let out a shaky breath I didn’t realize I was holding as Kaden finally looked away from me to glare at his father."Dad, what the hell is going on here? Why did you even call me?" Kaden barked, unmoving.Mr. Black turned his attention to me. "Where do you know my little pretty from?" he asked casually as if this wasn’t the most awkward, messed-up situation ever.Kaden’s head snapped to me, his face twisting. "Your... your little pretty?" he growled. "Can someone tell me what the actual fuck is going on?""Sit down," Mr. Black said firmly. "That’s the only way I’ll talk. And you—come sit h

Chapter 82 - We are in this together

[Matilda]"Tell me, have you gotten a lawyer yet?" Leo askedI bit down on my lower lip, swallowing the sudden lump that formed in my throat as I quickly shook my head. I knew I was going to start looking for a lawyer as soon as possible because this was a battle I wasn't ready to lose"I have a friend who is a very good lawyer, I will contact him. when is the first hearing," Leo asked and I pulled out my phone and unlocked it. I tapped on the email I had gotten from the lawyer and handed it over to Leo to take a lookI watched as his eyes swept over the phone, his jaw clenching hard as he read the words before handing me back my phoneHis lips curled into a smirk as he muttered inaudible words before turning back to me"We're in this together Tesoro. Kaden Donovan would not lay a hand on my boys," He gritted out the words, leaning closer to me. My breath hitched as I watched him, he shook his head, a smile curling up his lips as he dragged my seatbelt and hooked it up before pulling

Chapter 83 - She won't stand a chance

[Kaden]"Send them to my email. I’ll review them later," I told my PA before stepping out of the office and heading toward the lot.I tilted my neck, slipping a hand into my pocket as I walked to my car. Sliding into the driver’s seat, my fingers dug into my scalp as yesterday’s scene replayed in my head.Ryan and I had just stopped at a restaurant for lunch—and there he was. That bastard. Walking Matilda out of the restaurant, his hand resting on her waist like she belonged to him. The way he had circled those disgusting hands around herMy jaw tensed as I tightened my grip on the steering wheelI shut my eyes and inhaled deeply before starting the engine. It shouldn't matter who she’s with. My only concern should be my kids, how to get them away from her, not losing my shit over some guy touching her."Get a grip, Kaden," I muttered, turning the wheel sharply in the direction of the Donovan mansion.I needed to find out why my mother wouldn’t leave me alone—always raving about her g

Chapter 84 - He's your Daddy

[Matilda]"Mommy, are you okay?" Aiden's little voice pulled me out of my swirling thoughts. I took a steadying breath, forcing a smile as I gave him a nod.That smile did nothing to hide the worry etched across my face. It’s been two days since Leo and I settled things, and he told me we'd be meeting with the lawyer tomorrow. My heart thudded with every passing minute, especially knowing the first hearing in court was just a week away.My mind was a tangled mess. I glanced at Austin and Aiden, both absorbed in their iPads.I don't know what would happen during the custody battle. What if Kaden wins? How am I then going to explain who he is to my kids?No...hell no...he can't, impossible, Kaden would never win"Yes! I won!" Austin’s voice broke through my thoughts. He dropped his iPad, jumped up from the bed, and did his usual happy dance. I looked at Aiden, who was watching him with his pouted lipsI bit my bottom lip, glancing back and forth between them. My boys. My whole world. I’

Chapter 85 - Meeting Lawyer Sage

[Matilda]The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and I stepped out, trying to steady the erratic pounding of my heart. Leo walked beside me, offering no words just the usual calm demeanor of hisThe hallway to the lawyer's office who Leo said his name was Sage, was quiet. Only the soft tap of our footsteps echoed off the walls. I took a deep breath as we stopped at a sleek, modern receptionist desk. The young woman behind it greeted us with a polite smile"Is Sage in?" Leo's voice boomed out behind me. The lady stared at him and I didn't miss the way her face flushed before she cleared her throats"Do you have an appointment with him?""Yes, Leo Smith," Leo said calmly, his eyes shifting towards me as he flashed me a smile before returning his eyes to the lady who suddenly had her fingers dancing across her keyboard"Mr Lawson has been expecting you, this way please," the lady walked out, taking us straight to the office without delay. I blew out a deep breath already feeling

Chapter 86 - Rules in our favor

[Matilda]I took a deep breath my eyes scanning Sage who leaned back on his seatIs this a lost cause or what?"We are to win this case and I want you to do everything you can. She can't lose, it's not even an option," Leo said firmly beside meSage turned to Leo before turning his attention back to mine."You have the documents I requested for?" He asked and I nodded, pulling out the file I had in my handLeo had told me earlier that he requested some of the kid's documents, their birth certificate and school enrollment with medical recordsI stretched out the file towards him and he gave a firm nod, before pulling out the contents and going through them one after the other"I'll have them photocopied right away," He mumbled and placed a call before the lady we met earlier walked in and took the file from him after he gave her instructions on what to do"So let me understand what we are fighting for exactly," Sage said turning his attention back to mine. "He's fighting for full custo

Chapter 87 - What is Matilda playing at?

[Kaden] "What the hell was that, Kaden?" Cherry snapped as she stormed into the bedroom, slamming the door behind her. I exhaled, working my fingers around the knot of my tie, ignoring whatever nonsense she was spewing behind me. "I’m talking to you!" she barked. I closed my eyes for a second, taking a deep breath, before turning to stare back at her "Listen, Cherry, I'm tired and right now, all I need is some need peace," I muttered, sliding off my suit jacket. "I don’t give a damn about your peace right now!" she shouted. "I’m talking about that embarrassing stunt you pulled! How could you tell your accountant to block the money I requested?" "And why the hell shouldn’t I?" I snapped, my fist curling. "Don’t you think you’re pushing it? What in God’s name are you doing with that amount? It hasn’t even been two weeks since I gave you fifty million, and now you want a double of that amount?" My patience was hanging by a thread. Lately, it felt like I was staring at a stranger.

Chapter 88 - How it goes!

[Matilda]My eyes scanned the message in my phone as I yawned loudly, ignoring the growl in my stomach Last night I must have picked up and dropped my phone a dozen times before finally giving in and calling Kaden. I could tell that he was at least thrown off by how blunt I was and how I ended the callBut what I didn't expect was waking up to a message from him saying he'd be free this evening. So soon?"Well you wanted the kids to meet him and get it over with," I mumbled under my breath. It was still 6 am and I knew the twins were still asleep if not they could have stormed right into my bedroom"Let's get a few things done, it's Saturday," I mumbled under my breath, pushing myself off the bed, I slipped into my flip-flops, and made my way out heading to the kids' roomI chewed on my bottom lip trying to figure out where Kaden could meet the kidsHis house is a no for us, that would never be possible, and following that this is their first time meeting. I don't think a public plac

Chapter 89 - Daddy!!

[Matilda]It was almost 4 pm and the house looked like it had gone under a mini makeover. I had cleaned, rearranged, and double-checked everything—twice, or maybe three times.The kids were in their room, picking out what to wear like they were about to meet Santa and a superhero at once. They were excited, overjoyed that their Daddy would be meeting them in a few hoursMy nerves, on the other hand, were everywhere I stared at my body all over again. I was dressed in black fitted jeans and a blue top that hugged my body perfectly, with my hair tied up neatly in a ponytailMy palms were sweaty and for heaven's sake, I had no idea why I was sweatingI took a slow deep breath and glanced at the time. 3:50 pm. I made my way to the kitchen to check the cookies that I had placed in the ovenAt least courtesy demands that you make your visitor feel a bit at home, not like I love the idea of him coming here anyway but whatever"Mommy, do I look good?" Aiden's voice pierced through my ear jus

Chapter 90 - We've been waiting for you

[Kaden]"Daddy! Daddy!"The sound hit me like a bullet straight to the chest. My heart did a goddamn flip, and before I even knew what I was doing, the shopping bag slipped from my fingers. I crouched instantly, arms wide open, catching my boys as they flung themselves at me.My boys.FuckI didn’t even know how to breathe.I wrapped them up in my arms like if I let go, they’d vanish. My chest tightened, and my jaw clenched so damn hard it hurt. The wave of emotion crashed over me with no warningTheir tiny arms clung to me like I was their whole world, making my heart tighten, my jaw clenching fucking hardAlmost six fucking yearsI squeezed my eyes shut as I felt one of them start to sob against my shoulder. My throat burned. My hands trembled slightly as I pulled back, holding them up to get a good look.Tears.One of them had tears rolling down his cheeks, and my heart cracked right down the middle. I couldn’t fucking speak. What was I supposed to say?"Daddy, we’ve been waiting f
