CHAPTER 111: A Selfish Longing

By the time Aldwin finished telling me all about how he saved Ralph, he was half asleep.I sat there, my hands pressed flat against my thighs, trying to process everything he had just told me. Ralph was alive, but he was in a warehouse somewhere – one of Aldwin's renovation sites, he had said – and he had been there for days.“You took him,” I said, my voice hollow. “You were the one who took him.”“I saved him,” Aldwin corrected. “If I hadn't stepped in, the Triad would have taken him, and you would never see him again. Not alive, anyway. He owes me his life.”I wanted to be angry and scream at him, to hit him, to demand that he take me to Ralph right now. But the exhaustion was too heavy, and the relief that Ralph was still alive was too overwhelming. All I could do was sit there with tears streaming down my face.“I need to see him,” I said, sniffing back the tears.“No, you don't,” Aldwin said in a sleepy tone.“Why?” I asked.“You will not be leaving this house anytime, remember

CHAPTER 112: A Shameless Plea

As the day went by, Aldwin felt the need and urge to send Ralph far away as I kept asking. He had grown tired of my pleas, and how I brought up Ralph's name at every slight chance we got to talk, as well as how expectant I was each time he walked through the door, hoping he'd say something regarding Ralph. But he also knew that as long as Ralph remained within reach, I would never truly let go.Then, fortunately, Ralph demanded to leave – cliché. Aldwin seemed generously invested in Ralph's escape, as long as it meant taking him far away from me. “Raphael Townsend,” Aldwin called as he approached the room where Ralph was staying.Ralph heard Aldwin's deep voice before his image came into sight – the voice that was enough to upset his entire system. He hated the confidence that stemmed from it, the kind that came from knowing you had all the power.It had been several days since they last saw each other, and Ralph wasn't pleased in the least to see Aldwin now. The thought of him going

CHAPTER 113: A Perfect Disguise

Not only was a new identity created for Ralph, but his look was altered as well. By midday, just as Aldwin had promised, Ralph had company. A few persons arrived with one of the guards who took turns keeping an eye on him. They set their work tools down and began setting up what they needed to work.The guard stepped outside and closed the door, leaving Ralph alone with the strangers. There were four of them – two men and two women – and none of them paid much attention to him at first. They busied themselves with setting up their equipment.Ralph sat stiffly as they moved around him like he was a piece of furniture they needed to rearrange.He let them do whatever they needed to do.One of them, a woman with sharp features and quick hands, measured his face with a set of calipers, calling out numbers to someone across the room who wrote them down on a clipboard. Her fingers were cold against his skin, and she tilted his chin up and then to the side while taking note. She spoke abou

CHAPTER 114: A New Man

“Kyrgyzstan,” the woman confirmed. “You didn't pick a particular location, so we chose a suitable one regarding your situation,” she explained. “You'll be given some cash, a phone with a single emergency number, and enough supplies to last you until you find your footing. After that, you're on your own.”Ralph nodded slowly, he could feel a knot tighten in his chest. Her words settled on him heavily. He knew what it was going to be – disappearing, but hearing it now, and knowing it was about to happen, a sudden fear gripped him. It had become real. “And Kora?” he asked absentmindedly, but to his surprise, the woman replied.“She doesn't know where you're going. No one does.” Her expression didn't change.Of course, Ralph thought. They had done their homework. They knew everything about who their project was. He looked away, knowing that would be the answer. Aldwin’s words played in his head, telling him that the only way to stay alive was to disappear completely. But knowing somethi

CHAPTER 115: It's A Twin

Months passed, and I hadn't left the mansion. Like Aldwin said, all my needs would be attended to – he meant that. I was approaching delivery, but I still had silent questions. I spent almost every night in Aldwin's arms, in his bed, but Ralph stayed on my mind. Since Aldwin suspected something was going on between Ralph and me, he felt the urgency for Ralph to stay far away – and it did happen. Aldwin's approach towards me felt warm ever since he discovered I was carrying his child – it was supposed to be a good thing. I had craved his attention in the past three years but got the opposite. Now, he did all of that willingly, but with some reserve. I should have utilised his warmth towards me and nurtured it into the very thing I had always wanted, but I didn't feel that way anymore. All I wanted now was Ralph, but he was a ghost. His name was now forbidden. Aldwin was not open to talking about Ralph because he knew that would involve me talking to him as promised, but that was t

CHAPTER 116: A Chance To Start Over

The sonographer nodded again, pointing to a spot on the screen as she spoke. "This one is measuring slightly larger, but that's not uncommon with twins. They're both within the normal range for gestational age, and their heartbeats are strong and steady. I don't see any cause for concern."Aldwin exhaled slowly, and I realised he had been holding his breath. He turned to look at me, and a happy glow sparked in his eyes – this was new. It seemed like gratitude, or maybe just the quiet shock of a man who had just discovered that his world was about to get twice as full."Twins," he said again, like he was testing the word on his tongue. "We're having twins."I nodded.The sonographer printed out several images from the ultrasound and handed them to Aldwin, who took them like they were made of glass. He stared at the small black-and-white shapes – at the two heads and the two hearts and the two tangled bodies that had been growing inside me without either of us knowing."Everything look

CHAPTER 117

The question caught me off guard, and I wondered what could have triggered it . Guilt? Happy? I didn't know if happy was the right word. I was overwhelmed and exhausted, still trying to figure out how I felt about the two small lives growing inside me. But underneath all of that – buried beneath the fear, the uncertainty, and the complicated mess of my feelings for Aldwin and my longing for Ralph – there was something that might have been happiness.“Why did you ask that?” I directed my wonder at him.“I know I must have done some unpleasant things in the past, but I'm ready and willing to make up for all of it,” he said with pleading eyes. “All you have to do is say it.”I stared into his dark brown eyes, hoping to read them like an open book. I didn't like this Aldwin. I preferred the cold Aldwin I had known and lived with for three years. I had gotten used to that. Why had he changed lately?"I'm not unhappy," I said finally, because it was the most honest answer I could give. I

CHAPTER 118: Kora Puts to Birth

“Mom, this contraction – how much longer?” I asked, writhing in pain.“You're doing great, my love. Hold on a little bit,” my mom said, rubbing my back soothingly, but the pain between my thighs kept heightening. Her consoling wasn't doing much.The nurse checked between my legs and nodded at the doctor, and I knew what that meant even before she said a word. It was time.“You're fully dilated,” the doctor said, pulling on a pair of gloves. “When the next contraction comes, I need you to push.”His words sounded scary, as if I was about to experience pain worse than what I was already feeling. I shook my head in scared anticipation. The pain had been building for hours, crashing over me in waves that left no time to catch my breath before the next one came. My body was trembling from exhaustion, and my throat was raw from screaming. I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. Aldwin came to mind in that instant, and I wondered why. He had really wanted to be here but got caugh

CHAPTER 119: A Gift For the Ellisons

I wanted to say something – to thank her for staying by my side through all of it, but the words felt too heavy and got stuck in my throat. The room was fading around me, and I let myself drift because I didn't have the strength to fight it anymore.By evening, I was cleaned up and settled in the VIP room. My mom had stepped out to get some fresh air, and it was Lisa's turn to keep me company. She kept rambling about plans for the babies, and I smiled at her funny comments. I was too tired to laugh properly, Lisa was killing me – until she made a comment that really stirred my emotions.“What do you mean by that?” I asked firmly.There was no hint of a joke in my question, but Lisa didn't catch on immediately.“You seemed to have missed Ralph plenty, and it reflected on the baby,” she giggled.“That's not funny, you should mind what you say.”It was at that moment she understood my reaction.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.” She apologised earnestly. “Your boys are beautiful

CHAPTER 120: Zane and Zion

“Mom, Mom, can you tone it down? They're asleep. You're going to wake them up,” Aldwin said, and stood to collect the bag she was carrying.Her eyes widened as she placed a hand over her mouth in a hush.She had been waiting for this moment for years – probably longer than I had known Aldwin. The Ellison empire needed an heir, and now she had two of them. Her fears of the family name dying out, of all that wealth and power having nowhere to go, had been solved in one afternoon.She pulled me into a careful hug, mindful of my sore body, and when she pulled back, her eyes were wet.“Thank you,” she said, and the words sounded genuine in a way I hadn't expected.I nodded with a weak smile. This was the same woman who had accused me of going through Aldwin's safe, who had threatened me over the phone, who had looked at me like I was everything people gossiped me to be – a gold digger who had trapped her son into marriage. But right now, she looked like a grandmother who had finally gott
