CHAPTER 121

Aldwin's face lit up in a bright smile. “I like it,” he said sharply.“Zane and Zion,” Mrs Ellison repeated. “Those are beautiful names, I like it too,” she said, patting my arm.I felt pleased they liked the names. I had thought Aldwin would turn it down, but they accepted the names without a second thought. I had given the Ellisons what they wanted, and now I had to figure out what I wanted for myself. I felt welcomed and accepted for once, ever since I got into this deceitful marriage. I finally got to feel a sense of belonging. It wasn't so difficult to do, but there existed an invisible wall between the haves and the have-nots, and it determined how you were treated, and the amount of relevance that should be accorded to you – the exact way I was pictured when Aldwin announced me as his wife – a wife he unwillingly chose out of a silly bet. My phone beeped: ‘Hey, I said to give you some space with Aldwin and his mom around. Besides, it's late already, I think I should head ho

CHAPTER 122: They Are Not Identical

Aldwin kept true to his words – he changed. It had been five years since the birth of Zane and Zion, and the thought of leaving never crossed my mind again. It was different now and I felt at peace. Aldwin made me feel loved. The care and attention I had hungered for from him became present, even though it kept tugging at the back of my mind that if not for the existence of the twins, things would have remained as they were. I pushed aside the loud voice that kept telling me that Aldwin only seemed loving because of the boys and not because of me – that I wasn't enough to make him mine. It was difficult fighting those thoughts and not succumbing to the ideas that built up each time they rang in my head. Zane and Zion gave me a reason, a definition, and that was enough. An obvious dissimilarity could be seen in the twins, but Aldwin was too blinded by his love for them to notice – or maybe he didn't want to talk about it. Not all twins were identical, but Zion and Zane were complete

CHAPTER 123: His Sweet Side

Then the front door opened, and all my worries scattered — temporarily.One of their best moments was when Aldwin came back home from work.“Where are my little men,” he said, using the name he fondly called them – little men. “Dad!” They shrieked loudly, running towards him. He scooped up Zion, tossing him into the air once. When they were younger, he would toss them several times, but they were five years old now. He kissed him on the cheek before setting him down and reaching for Zane. Zane was the shy one; he didn't shriek like Zion did as Aldwin tossed him in the air. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Aldwin's neck and rested his head on his shoulders – content and quiet. Aldwin held him for a moment longer than he had held Zion. They always looked forward to this moment. They would chase each other around, playing and laughing. I watched them and the knot in my chest tightened. Aldwin loved both of his sons. I had never doubted that – not even once. He was present in wa

CHAPTER 124: A DNA Test for the Boys

Aldwin had eyes and ears even in unimaginable places. I didn't want to risk him knowing what I was about to do. But how else could I make such a move without him finding out?I’d already thought about not using their delivery hospital, which was the only hospital we went to, and which already had Zane and Zion's information. I collected samples of their hair from the comb I had used this morning and was pacing the room, not sure how to go about this without raising suspicions. A brilliant idea came to mind – Lisa.It took one ring before she answered the phone.“To what do I owe this morning call?” Lisa groaned, almost mumbling. It seemed like something was blocking her words from coming out freely, cutting off some of her words.It took me a second to realise what it was.“Are you making out?” I asked, furrowing my brows.Lisa was taking time to reply, then I heard lips smacking, kissing sounds.“Wait. Is that what I'm thinking it is?” I asked, almost irritated, but it was another m

CHAPTER 125

"What? How did you come up with that?" Lisa seemed shocked. She was clearly not expecting to hear that."Of course, without Aldwin's knowledge, and that's why I won't be doing this myself." I let the words hang, hoping she would catch on."You want me to do this instead?""Yes," I said without skipping a beat."I already have their hair samples. All I need is for you to take them to a different hospital and run the test.""You're serious about this, aren't you?" The disbelief was evident in her voice."I labeled them using random names, so no one would guess who they actually are," I explained further, ignoring her question."Kora," Lisa said slowly, the way she always did when she wanted to talk some sense into me."Lisa, please."She exhaled loudly into the phone. "You realize what you're asking me to do? If Aldwin finds out…""He won't," I cut in. "That's the whole point of sending you. He doesn't monitor your movements."She sighed, heavily burdened by the task I was assigning her

CHAPTER 126: The Silent Call

Ralph seemed to have settled pretty well in Kyrgyzstan over the last five years since he ran away. But no day passed without him thinking about me and what my baby looked like. He would wonder if it looked like Aldwin or me. If only he knew it was twins.A strange number called my phone. I was hesitant to take the call, but I had a strong feeling it might be Ralph."Hello," I said calmly as I answered the phone, praying the voice I’d hear would be Ralph's.A few seconds passed, and it was still silent from the other end. The only sound that came was the TV, which was on a low volume."Hello," I said again, somehow convinced he was the one. "Who's this? If you can hear me, then say something."A heavy sigh came this time, nothing more.Then I felt the urge to ask. "Ralph?" I called out cautiously. "Is that you?" It seemed whoever it was was determined to stay quiet.On the other end, Ralph sat on the sofa in his wooden cabin. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind. He was conten

CHAPTER 127: No Trace

Back in Ralph's cabin, he was boiling with anger. He didn't expect I'd figure out who it was when he had called without thinking. He just wanted to hear my voice. He felt a pang of pain in his chest. He shouldn't be here, hiding away like a rat. He threw himself on the floor, and began planking, panting heavily as he lost count. This was his way of dispelling the anger he felt inside. Ralph was doing well for himself, but he felt empty. He didn't have that freedom he wanted – doing the things he loved in the city he loved, with the woman he couldn't take out of his mind. He felt trapped. Ralph had been taking fighting lessons for the last four years; it was needed if he wanted to stand up to the Black Triad and Aldwin when he made a return. He was determined to learn everything possible, to become dangerous — and he had.He stood up from the floor, facing the mirror. His rugged reflection told him he was no longer the Ralph anyone remembered. He was a different man. He didn't like

CHAPTER 128: Forty Minutes of Trouble

The bell hanging above the door announced the entrance of a customer. Ralph didn't look up. He was far too used to the sound after working here for more than three months. He had lived in isolation for almost a year, surviving on bread and canned food. Sometimes he would hunt; the deep forest had plenty of meat. Ralph felt the need to go out again – to mingle with people, to do something other than hide away in his cabin in the middle of nowhere. Or so he thought. So far, he had made only one friend – Yakov. He met him sometime when he went hunting, and Yakov noticed he wasn't from there after a closer look. He told Ralph what he needed to know about the place – where he could hunt and which areas had boundaries. Of course, Ralph had done his own research, but Yakov’s warnings were a big bonus. He was grateful to the kind stranger. The tight-lipped team that had transformed his appearance into being unrecognisable to anyone who had known him before had given him two contacts – pe

CHAPTER 129

“You don't look like you are from here,” he said, scrutinising Ralph with his eyes.“Yes.” Ralph agreed. “But do you just sneak up on people and assume they're not from around here?”The man scoffed. A small smile formed around his lips. Ralph looked him over, observing his frail frame, and he was confident he could give him a good beating if it came to that.“Not always,” he said, extending a hand to Ralph.“I am Yakov. I no bite.”Ralph hesitated for a second before taking his hand. He was glad he had a glove on.“Cross.” He went with the last part of his new name. Michael Cross sounded too formal for a man he had just met.“Cross,” Yakov repeated, as if confirming it was actually correct. Ralph gave a slight nod.“Cross my friend,” he said, arching his brow as if he needed permission to call him that. “We are friends now, right?” He didn't wait for an answer.“I will warn you. This place is not very safe, so it's good you not wander very far. They're wild animals, and they won't p

CHAPTER 130: No Way Out

Ralph watched as they left the shop, cursing them in his mind. He hoped they never came back. Their visit had unsettled him – the information he had found in that tablet, the thought of the Black Triad. He didn't see them as any different. *** Ralph felt it was time to see the world again, after almost a year of hiding away in his cabin. He needed a job to keep busy and didn't know where to look, but he had Yakov – who was going to do the looking for him. Yakov talked to his friend Nurlan, who owned a repair shop in Bokonbayevo and could use Ralph's help.Ralph wasn't in it for the money – though he was being paid a decent amount, but it was a chance for him to leave his space each day, meet people, and get familiar with the place.Yakov was glad Nurlan didn't object to it. It had been three months since then. Ralph loved the new routine. He would leave his cabin and only return on weekends, working the entire day until late, and crashing at bedtime in an empty storeroom at the wo
