Lahat ng Kabanata ng Taming A Reckless Heart: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Sydney After a hectic week, the PFW fever died down, and we were back at work. I needed rest the most with the twins keeping me awake all night. “You have dark circles under your eyes. Are you unwell?” Cheryl came over to my table at the cafeteria during lunch break. “Just tired. I need to get some sleep. I wish Tristan would give us a day off after the hectic week.” Cheryl sighed and gave me a look of disbelief. “Don’t you know, Tristan Sir has stepped down from his position?” Shocked, I gaped at her. “Then who’s the new CEO of L’Étoile?” Did I let him down? Did the investor lose interest in us? Did Tristan sell off our dream company? My heart sank with despair at the thought. “The new investor has changed the entire management of L’Étoile. He has summoned a meeting after lunch to introduce himself.” “Oh!” I really had no idea because I never had the time to stay back and gossip. I had to get back home for the twins. “I hope he doesn’t sack us!” Cheryl rolled her eyes. “Not yo

Sydney Killian didn’t follow me to my room. It upset me a lot. If he regretted his behavior, he should have put in more effort to convince me. Yet Estelle threw a tantrum upon learning about his connection to me. It diverted everyone’s attention, and I escaped from the place. I had no idea why everyone tolerated her tantrums. As I closed the door, I heard Estelle console him. “She doesn’t need you in her life, Killian. She’s a famous designer now after her stint at the PFW. Maybe the fame and money have blinded her. Some people can’t appreciate feelings. But I’m not like her. I’ll lay down my life for true love! Will you divorce Sydney?” I shut the door and leaned against it, not waiting to hear Killian’s reply. Closing my eyes, I tried to get a grip on myself. No, I wouldn’t react at all. Tristan and Charlotte have done a lot for me. I couldn’t hurt them. Yet my heart ached for the unrequited feelings I kept hidden deep within me. How could Killian be blind to them? Maybe because

KillianI had no idea where I would look for my wife and children. As the cab sped towards the hotel, tears of helplessness stung my eyes. How did I lose her again? It was because of my foolishness. I had my chance to patch things up with her. If she couldn’t leave Paris, it was fine. I would move my business here. I would do anything to be with her. If only she would forgive me and accept me in her life!But I had lost the only chance I got. My friends would mock me if they knew. How would they react if they knew I had twin boys?I was shocked to hear it from a stranger. Why didn’t Sydney inform me? It hurt me immensely to know she didn’t trust me at all. But it wasn’t her fault. I didn’t give her any reason to trust me. From the day I had met her, I had been in denial, letting my sense of revenge cloud my rational thinking. I should have treated her better and shown her the love I felt for her. She would have stayed with me. I felt frustrated with myself. My stubbornness was the

Sydney The twins fell asleep after a feed, and I carried them upstairs with me. Strangely, there was no sign of Killian in my bedroom. Had he left without informing me? I settled the twins in the nursery and went into my room to check. He wasn’t in the room or the washroom. Had he moved out of my bedroom? I felt a little disappointed that he gave in without a fight. Didn’t he want to fight for our marriage? I had every right to hold a grudge against him after the way he had treated me. Would he give up on me so easily? I walked out of the bedroom to go in search of Killian. He wasn’t in any of the other bedrooms. I returned to mine to check his belongings. Relief washed over me to find his belongings still there.Then where was he? Did he go out onto the terrace? I went towards the leafy terrace attached to this level. It was my green patch, a favorite place to unwind. At the door, I stopped watching Killian standing with his back towards me. With his phone glued to his ear, he

Killian The flight landed at the Los Angeles International Airport, and I glanced at my little family. The twins were fast asleep, and Sydney, too, looked well-rested. I was glad they could endure this long flight. After a jostle at the baggage carousel, we were finally on our way home. But I had my doubts. Did she want to go back to my house? I knew how much she hated living there.“Home at last! Any regrets?” I watched her smile and shake her head.Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, relieving the tension that had been mounting inside my heart. “None.” “I know you hate the house. If you don’t want to live there, I’ll buy another place for us.” I didn’t want her to leave again. This time, I couldn’t survive the heartache. “I don’t hate the house, Killian. It’s a lovely beachfront house, but I felt lonely out there because you hardly spent time with me.” She sighed at the memory. It made me feel guilty. Of course, I was the only one to blame here. “I promise to change all that, Sy
