“Your words hurt, Elena…” Chloe exhaled, a painful smile escaping her lips.

Elena adjusted in her seat, and shook her head, “I did not mean to.”

“Elena.”

“You cannot meet my children.”

“Why? Do you hate me too? If I could go back in time to change the past, I would, but I can’t. Why… why are you…”

“I am not being hard on you on purpose, Chloe.”

“Let me meet them.”

“And who would I tell them you are? I would not introduce you to them as their aunt. You might think it’s just a word, but my children are so smart and you would be surprised by how quick they will figure you out.”

“Anything!” Chloe sniffed and wiped the tears that laced her eyes with the back of her hand.

“Anything, if aunt does not sit well with you.”

Elena watched Chloe who kept tearing up no matter how much she wiped her tears away and then smacked her lips.

Her eyes fell on her coffee and her ice had already melted. She picked up the glass cup, removed the straw, and then drank the coffee directly from the glass.

    “What do you mean by ‘a Russo’? She is just Chloe?” Elena rolled her eyes.Raymond kept his eyes pinned on the lady who was starting to feel intimidated by the man, and then, Elena exhaled and talked again.“It’s okay, Dad. You’re intimidating her.”“Does it look like I care?”Ariana rushed towards Elena, grabbed her hand, and then dragged her to another side of the room.“What are you doing? You never wanted her here.”“She knows already.”“About the twins? How?”Elena took a glance back at Chloe who kept her head bowed in front of her parents, and then returned to look at Ariana.“I told her.”“Elena!”“She saw the cesarean section scar and asked if I had given birth. Of course, I would not say no,” Elena rolled her eyes.“Are you cool with it?”“She said she would never tell anyone.”“And you trust her?”“Hold on…” Elena drew her brows together and exhaled.“If I remember correctly, you were urging me to tell her because ‘she is different from her family’, right?”“Just that I didn

    “I… I am…”“She is not your aunt! What is wrong with you?!” Elena snapped.“We thought she was. She’s a new face and we can’t help but wonder,” Nathan shrugged his shoulders off.“Mum is right. I am just uhm… like a little sister?” She tilted her head.“Little sister? Aunt Aria is her sister.”Chloe smiled heartily, picked up their hands, and then fondled it gently. “She is like a sister to me. A sister from another mother, we can say,” she said and the twins nodded their heads, trying to understand.“I will leave you with them,” Elena said.As Chloe raised her head to look at Elena, she nodded her head knowingly, silently vowing that she could trust her.Elena nodded her head and then turned around. “Don’t stress her too much, guys. I’ll be back after I freshen up,” she said and walked out of the door.As soon as she left the room and then the twins were sure she was away from the door, they clutched closer to Chloe who was still on her knees and then stared at her.“Why? Are you loo

    “Okay. I understand that you love passing your boundary, but… why must you bring me with you?”Ryan grunted for the umpteenth time at Zeke who did not even spare him a glance and only looked through the window.“Do you think I can enter now?”“If you want to embarrass yourself, yes,” Ryan rolled his eyes.“Can you be serious?”“Of course, I am serious. An inauguration ceremony is going on and as if attending without being invited is not enough, you want to go in right now when people are still there. You think the Baskervilles would welcome you with an open arm?”“Chloe was invited,” Zeke said.“Are you Chloe?”It was Ariana’s inauguration ceremony and literally all the influential businessmen were there, but he was not invited.Not like an invite could stop him, but he knew that he would finally be meeting with Elena’s parents.He does not know how that realization makes him feel but he knows damn well that they would never welcome him with an open arm.If Ariana could give him such

    “She is not a toy,” Ryan stated.“I know. She is human. She is Elena. And… she is definitely not a toy. I don’t want to own her… I want to earn her, and I will.”After he said that, he turned to look out the window again and a soft smile tugged on Ryan’s lips.He ended the voice recording that he had switched on and then returned his phone to his pocket.One day… When the time was right to help his friend plead for Elena’s mercy again, he would probably have the evidence to show her that Zeke was not the same person from six years ago.===“Are you sure they are still in there? I didn’t see them coming out,” Ryan said as he walked to the entrance with Zeke.“They could still be there. You know they would probably wait till their guests leave… and well, they might have left through the back door. We can only know until we get there,” he said.As they stopped at the entrance, the two bouncers stood in front of them and then asked for their invitation cards.“Is the event not over?” Zeke

    “Mr. Basker…”“What in the name of the lord is this man doing here?!”His voice thundered and everyone, including Elena, could swear that they had never received such a vibe from the man before.Zeke swallowed hard and then raised his head to look at the man. He looked angry, like never before. His brows were crumpled together, and his lips were mashed together while his chest kept rising in anger.When his eyes met with Ramon’s who let out a short smirk, his blood boiled but this was not the time to show his anger for the man.“Mr. Raymond, I…”And he slapped him across the face again.Zeke bit his lower lips, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and then raised his eyes to look at the man again.Where was he even going to start?He was not giving him the chance to talk or even look at him.Guess he should have listened to Ryan.It was as if the man saw what was going to happen and then warned him strongly from coming here without settling things with Elena first.He turned to look at E

    “Wait for me!”Ryan turned to look at the familiar voice after he had seen Zeke enter the car.“Chloe.”Chloe hurried past him and then entered the car in front of Zeke.Ryan did not say anything and then entered with them, sitting beside her and then opposite Zeke.“What was he thinking?!” She snapped as soon as the car ignited.Ryan shrugged his shoulders off and then dropped his eyes on Zeke whose eyes were closed and his head rested on the head restraint.“Zeke!” She slapped his thigh.“What do you want?” Zeke groaned in displeasure.“What do I want? Why were you there?!” She snapped.Zeke did not answer and only exhaled and after a few seconds before the lady talked again, he raised his head and sat upright.“What were you doing there?”“Excuse me? I was invited,” she rolled her eyes.“Exactly. How did you get them to forgive you so fast and even invite you?!”Chloe shook her head, palmed her forehead, and then smacked her tongue. “The last time I checked, it was you who had issu

    “We should…” Chloe breathed out in between the kiss but Ryan was quick to cut her short with another kiss.“Not be doing this…” she breathed heavily and broke the kiss again.Their head joined together, panting heavily to catch their breaths, Ryan curled his hands around her neck and tightened his grip on it gently, in a way that wouldn’t hurt.“Why?” He asked in a whisper as he caressed her neck.Chloe closed her eyes shut and brushed her nose with his nose. It felt too real to be true.Ryan… her crush of over five years… almost ten years was kissing her, very passionately as if his life depended on it.She was not sure if she should trust this sudden emotion from him or if she should not.Although, Ryan did not seem like the type that would do things on an impulse like this. She believed deep down that for him to have done this, he must have thought it through.But… What if she was wrong again?This was Ryan, her brother’s best friend and this man had never given her the impression

    “I don’t want to see you with that man any longer!”Raymond exploded the moment he entered with his family.Elena drew her brows together and asked. “What are you saying?”“I know that you two have been meeting since you returned to the state. He has been coming to your office literally every week!”“I have it under my control!” She snapped back.“If you do have it under your control, he would not show his fucking face there today. You must have given him the impression that he is welcome or something!”“What impression? The impression that I might want him back again or what?”“Guys, it’s okay. We don’t need to shout over that…”“Then why has he been visiting your company every damn time?!”“That is his problem and not mine! Why would you even assume that I might want to forgive him or something?” She interrupted her mother.“That is because women tend to have a weaker heart and before we know it, you have forgiven him and gotten everything behind you!”“Well, I am sorry to disappoin

    “I should have told you sooner that I love you…”She shook her head and hurriedly wiped off her tears again.“I guess… I guess I was scared. I was scared of what people would say. I was scared of betraying myself. You know…”“I had vowed to never come back with you… and I hated it so much that I was starting to waver again. I hated myself so much… that I was falling for you again.”“I guess… I guess I should have told you… at least once.”“Maybe if I had… maybe if you knew… it would urge you to wake up faster. Maybe if you know that you have someone desperately waiting for you to wake up, you would not remain in this deep… sleep…”“I should have… I should have you at least once that I love you.

    “Mama!”Elena turned to look in the direction of her kids who ran towards them with Jeremy behind them.“Oh, God,” she exhaled, palmed her face, and then sniffed as a drop of tears fell from her eyes.She was a bad mother. All that was in her head was Zeke that she had literally forgotten about her kids.Forcefully, yet, painfully, she knelt down and then spread her arms wide.“Mama!” They cried out and then rushed into her embrace.“My babies,” she cried and hugged them.They all remained in a position for a while, crying and shaking before Elena pulled away and then dropped her hand on their cheeks.“Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did he do anything to you?” She bombarded them with questions as she scrutinized their bodies.“We are fine, mummy. Uncle took good care of us,” Nathan assured her and glanced at Jeremy.“What happened to you, mama?” Natalie asked as she touched her bandaged leg gently.“Oh, my dear,” she shook her head.“It must hurt as you kneel. Stand up, mummy,” Nathan sa

    The news of Zeke’s bomb accident had spread like wildfire and even those that were not there were able to witness it had already watched the whole scene as it was being broadcast live at that moment.Everyone talked and sympathized with the family who were not certain of the man who was wheeled to the hospital’s fate.MEANWHILE…Jeremy suddenly halted the car midway as the news on the radio came up.He drew his brows together as they reported that a bomb explosion had occurred and although no one was dead, Zeke Russo and ‘his wife’ had sustained injury and had been rushed to the hospital.He picked up his phone and then browsed through the internet.His brother and the bomb incident was ranked first in every social media and when he watched the live video of the bomb accident, he stiffened and widened his eyes.He had just watched his brother thrown in the air by the fire and how Elena had cried her lungs out before they were finally rushed to the hospital.“Fuck!” He hit the steering

    “You motherfucker, how dare…?!”Mateo charged at Zeke but the uniformed men were quick to point their weapons at him. Glancing at the red points on his body, Matoe cursed out and then dropped the knife in his hand.“I am going to kill you,” he growled.“You can dream on,” Zeke raised the remote control in his hand and then clicked on the button.When Mateo suddenly burst into laughter, he drew his brows together.“What is funny, asshole?”“Your mistake is pressing that button when you’re not at least ten steps away from her. She will blow up in just…” he tilted his head and then laughed out loud.“Five minutes? Five seconds? Five hours?”“Hey!” Zeke rushed at him and grabbed his collars. “What are you saying?”“The bomb is designed to blow off regardless of anything, brother. Now, you have just five minutes to get her away from the seat, or she’s gonna blow up,” he smiled.Zeke threw a punch at his chest and then rushed away instantly.As he descended the stairs, he removed his phone

    “It is dangerous to go in alone, sir,” the leader of the swat team said to him and he nodded his head.“That is why you guys will be around. Don’t stay far away,” he answered and then leaned down as the man wore the bulletproof vest around him.“Take this,” he handed over a gun to him.Zeke twitched his lips upward and then nodded his head.“I doubt I would be needing this, but okay,” he collected it and then scanned it.“Call for backup immediately if you’re in any trouble but we will be around regardless.”Zeke nodded his head, looked up at the building, and then entered gently.As he began to ascend the stairs, his phone beeped from his pocket and he removed it immediately.“I’ve got them!”Said the message from his brother with a picture attached to it.His lips tugged into a wide smile and then he returned the phone in his pocket before he increased the pace at which he ascended the stairs._____“Enough of this madness, Mateo!”“Madness?” Mateo drew his brows together and stood

    “Shit…” Ramon stuttered, dropped the cigar in his hand, and took a step back.“If I were you, I wouldn’t move an inch, you get? This shit is completely loaded, a bullet could kill you, you know?”Jeremy said as he covered the space between them.He grabbed the man by the collar instantly and then smiled mischievously.“You look like you just saw a ghost.”“Fuck you,” Ramon spatted instead.“Now, we’re gonna play a little game,” Jeremy said as he pointed the piston at Ramon’s temple.“You tell me where the kids are. I go get them and then leave. What do you say?”“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ramon frowned.“No, you do. And you’re going to do exactly as I have said. Where are they, the kids?” He asked again.“I don’t know what…”He was still saying when Jeremy hit the butt of the gun on his head and then the man screamed.“Now… let’s start over,” he ignored the blood that was starting to gush out of his head and then sniffed.“Where… are they?”Ramon cried out in pain, y

    Elena dropped her head on the steering after the call ended and then Zeke finally got to her place.“What’s wrong?” He asked, placing his hands on her thighs.“He called… Mateo.”“Don’t let him get to you,okay? I have this under control. I have gotten…”She grabbed his wrist hurriedly, cutting him short.Elena shook her head, moving gently away from the camera that was planted in her car.“What?” He whispered when she dropped her index finger on her lips.She picked up her phone, and then turned on the note application, “My car is bugged too.”He drew his brows together as he read and then nodded his head.Afterward, he collected the phone from her and then typed in it too.“We are going to find the twins soon. There is a way.”“So Mateo called me too,” he said after she read the message he typed.“He did?”“And he made his demands already.”Zeke narrated everything to her and she shook her head.“He is crazy.”“I plan on doing that.”“What?!”“We have to give him what he wants in ord

He…”“I got his location!” One of the men hollered.“Where is he?”“He is… nearby,” he drew his brows together and zoomed in properly.“He is around here,” he repeated.Zeke prepared to stand up but Ryan was quick to stop him.“No, wait.”“I have to find him.”“We need to be rational here. Hold on.”“He said the bomb could detonate on its own!”“I heard that, just calm down.”“How is it going so far?” Ray joined them in the car and Zeke breathed out.“He has called, and made his demands,” Zeke answered.“Good. How much? Tell me, and I will raise it right now.”“He wants all of my assets.”“What?”“My assets. Everything down to my shares and buildings.”Ray swallowed hard and then shook his head. “That psycho.”“What are we going to do? Make the call again. I will give him mine.

    “I knew it…”When the low, hoarse voice of the little boy came up, Ramon turned around to look at him and then breathed out.“What?”Nathan adjusted in his seat and then glanced at the tiny rope that was used to tie his wrists together.“I knew… something was wrong about you. I have always known that.”“Shut up, you don’t know anything,” he hissed at the boy.Natalie stirred gently from where she sat too and then finally opened her eyes.Looking around at where they were and how they were tied, she whined gently and then burst into tears.“I know you were not a good person,” Nathan said again.“The problem with you is that you act like you know everything.”“I think you are actually pained that I have always been right about you.”Ramon forced a laugh and then shook his head. “Right about me? You don’t know anything, trust me!”“Aside from the fact that you hold grudges against little children like us which actually amuses me, I know for a fact that you have always had this darker sid
