Chapter Thirty-one.

It had been two days since the kidnapping and rescue.Elysia had refused to go home.She'd refused to leave Kai's side.Declan, on the other hand, had practically refused to leave too.He wasn't about to leave his wife with another man. Every day, he'd return to the villa, take a shower, change into fresh clothes, then come back to the hospital with food for both himself and Elysia.Even though she'd refused to talk to him, she hadn't chased him away either."You should eat something. I had Martha prepare your favourite dishes," he said, setting the basket down.Elysia glanced at it before looking back up at him.The room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the heart monitor.She was sitting beside Kai's bed. He still hadn't regained consciousness, but the doctor had assured them he'd be fine.It was only a matter of time."Mr. Windsor," Elysia called quietly but firmly.There wasn't an ounce of warmth in her voice.Something twisted inside Declan's chest.She wasn't calling hi

"I'm sorry..."Declan's voice was barely above a whisper as he reached up and gently wiped away the tear that had escaped down Elysia's cheek.She immediately pushed against his chest."You think saying sorry takes away five years of neglect?" Elysia asked quietly.There was no shouting. No hysterics.Just a calm anger that somehow hurt even more.Declan refused to let her go.Even as she kept pushing against him, trying to free herself from his embrace, his arms remained firmly around her."Give me one more chance," he pleaded. "Please. I promise I'll make everything up to you."Elysia let out a soft laugh.It wasn't an amused or happy laugh. It sounded... defeated."Mr. Windsor." She slowly tilted her head and looked up at him. "How exactly are you going to make it up to me?"She held his gaze, silently daring him to answer.Declan swallowed."I'll be a better husband..." he said earnestly. "And a good father."Elysia's eyes widened for the briefest second.A good father. So… He kn

Elysia gently felt Kai's forehead, her brows knitting together with worry.He smiled, reached up and held her wrist."I'm fine," he said.In a way, Elysia was just like her mother, Nicole. Worrying too much. Caring too much.The women of the St. Laurent family were kind-hearted.Sometimes too kind-hearted for their own good."Mom and Camille will be back soon. They're going to bring you something healthy to eat," Elysia said as she finally sat back down.The sharp sting at her side returned the moment she settled into the chair. She winced, hoping Kai hadn't noticed.He frowned anyway."Are you okay?" he asked. "You should be the one getting some rest."Elysia shook her head."I'm fine."Her thoughts drifted back to the encounter in the bathroom with Declan.For a brief moment, she'd wanted to believe him. She'd wanted to believe he was genuinely remorseful and that every word he'd said had come from the bottom of his heart. But the moment he couldn't answer that one simple question,

“Oh my God.”Elysia clasped a hand over her mouth.She slowly stepped further into the room, her eyes darting between the two of them.“Ely... I—I can explain.” Jade stuttered shyly.Her face turned an embarrassing shade of crimson. She instinctively grabbed Nicholas's sleeve before hiding her face against his shoulder.“Are you guys...?” Elysia laughed, unable to hide the surprise in her voice.Jade slowly peeked at her through her fingers, her eyes widening slightly.She had expected Elysia to be hurt.Or betrayed.Or at the very least... offended that everyone had kept such a huge secret from her.Instead… She was laughing.“It's not her fault,” Nicholas spoke up calmly. “I was the one who asked her not to tell you yet.”“Well...” Jade quickly added, looking up at Elysia. “It was a mutual decision. We both agreed to keep it between us until we were ready.”Elysia folded her arms across her chest.“How long?”Jade bit down on her lower lip. “Three months.”“Three months?!” Elysia's

“You need to bring Elysia home soon.”Alistair's voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable urgency beneath it.Declan simply stared at his father.His mind wasn't even in the study.It was still back in that hospital bathroom.Back to the tears in Elysia's eyes.Why did you have to wait until I finally gave up?The question had been echoing in his head ever since.His phone vibrated inside his pocket.He ignored it.Alistair continued speaking as though he hadn't noticed.“If you don't bring your wife back soon... we're going to have a problem.”Declan slowly looked up.For the first time, he noticed something strange.Alistair Windsor… The man everyone feared.The man who never panicked.Actually looked... uneasy.It wasn't obvious. Most people would've missed it.But Declan knew his father well enough to notice the subtle tightening of his jaw and the impatience in his voice.Something wasn't right.If the head of the Windsor family was this anxious...Then wanting Elysia back w

"Move out of the way!"The thug barked as he violently shoved a middle-aged man aside.The man stumbled forward, barely managing to keep himself from crashing onto the pavement.He didn't even look back.Right now… That wasn't his biggest problem.His trembling fingers hurriedly dialed the same number again as his eyes darted nervously over his shoulder every few seconds.Two men dressed in black were following him from a distance.Not too close. Not too far.Close enough to make sure he couldn't escape."Pick up... please pick up..." he muttered under his breath.His fingers shook so badly that he almost dropped the phone.He had only returned to the city a few hours ago.After six long years… Six years of hiding.Six years ago, he'd witnessed a brutal murder.He hadn't stayed long enough to become the next victim.He'd run.Run to protect himself. Run to protect his little boy.Because he knew… Once they realized he'd seen everything...They would come for him too.The call rang onc

Elysia glanced over her shoulder as she stepped into the hotel lobby."I have a reservation under Windsor," she said.The front desk receptionist looked up at her with a bright, professional smile."Oh yes, of course. Your husband is already waiting for you inside," the young woman replied. "Second table on your left."Elysia nodded politely. "Thank you." She muttered and turned to leave."Enjoy your evening at Heaven's Heather," the receptionist called after her.Husband...That would all be over soon.Her fingers tightened around the copy of the divorce papers Mr. Ansley had delivered to her that morning.She walked into the restaurant, the soft fabric of her wine-coloured satin dress swaying gently around her legs.The slight curve of her stomach showed beneath the dress.It wasn't obvious yet but it was there.Her eyes slowly swept across the restaurant before settling on Declan.He was already seated at the reserved table, his phone resting in one hand, wearing that same effortl

"Are you okay?" Kai asked. "Do you want to go home instead?"Elysia leaned back against the passenger seat and closed her eyes for a brief moment, trying to steady her breathing.What the hell had that been?Declan had completely snapped back there.She'd expected pleading. She'd expected begging.But never… What he'd done in there.For a moment, she'd genuinely been scared of him.She slowly opened her eyes and instinctively rested a hand over her stomach.She was still in her first trimester.The way he'd tightened his arms around her... the way he'd refused to let go… It had terrified her.But then again… Declan would always be Declan with his ridiculous self-righteousness."N-No..." Elysia shook her head lightly. "I'm fine. Let's just get to the hospital."Kai studied her for a second before giving a small nod.He turned his attention back to the road and started the engine."Wait..."Elysia reached out and gently wrapped her fingers around the wrist that was resting on the steeri

Kai laughed. It wasn't a chuckle or a polite laugh.He genuinely looked amused.Elysia had boldly asked to kiss him?What exactly was going on in that head of hers?He stared at her quietly for a moment. His gaze slowly dropped to her hands as her fingers fidgeted nervously with each other."Well..." she drawled hesitantly. "Can I?"The next second, Kai closed the distance between them.Elysia gasped softly, caught off guard by how quickly he'd moved without saying a word.Her back bumped lightly against the side of the car.She was now gently trapped between his body and the car.Kai lifted a hand, slid it behind her head and drew her closer before crashing his lips against hers.He'd wanted to kiss her too.He just hadn't expected her to ask so boldly.Elysia whimpered softly into the kiss.It made her head feel pleasantly woozy.Kai smirked against her lips and kissed her even deeper. He just couldn't get enough.One arm slipped around her waist, drawing her flush against his body

Kai walked behind Elysia as they left the hospital after the gynaecology session."Three..."Elysia suddenly stopped walking.She slowly turned around to face him, her eyes already glassy with tears as she raised three trembling fingers into the air."I'm having three babies, Kai."Her voice cracked before the last word left her lips.She stared at him for another second as if she was hoping he'd somehow tell her Doctor Esme had made a mistake.Then she turned around and continued walking towards the car before he could even think of a response.Kai remained where he was for a brief moment.He honestly didn't know what to say.The mood inside the examination room had changed so quickly that he was still trying to process everything himself."Or more than twins."Doctor Esme's cheerful voice kept replaying inside his head.Elysia hadn't laughed after hearing those words.She hadn't smiled either.Her eyes had remained fixed on the monitor, wide with disbelief before the shock slowly ga
