Chapter: One Condition“I thought you were letting me go?” I adjusted my hand with Alex resting on my shoulder.“Yes, ” he smiled.I looked at him starting to get suspicious as I knitted my brows together. Part of me didn’t want to think, all that was a trick or show so he could laugh in my face before he took my children away from me.

Chapter: The AgreementMaya“Does it always take this long for them to sleep?” I looked up to see Ryan rubbing the back of his neck as he spoke, and I simply nodded.The twins were finally asleep again after a long day. The flight had been long and so much time had flown by when we got to the hotel late in the afternoon. It has been a couple of hours and I was exhausted, but I knew Ryan an

Chapter: Candy MessRyanJust like that Maya walked back to their room and I was left to figure out how to get them to move. I turned to look at them and she had been right the sight in front of me was adorable. My children were sitting on the floor Alex’s hands stuck in Ava’s hair and they were sharing the other candy.I had no idea there was such happiness in seeing

Chapter: Fatherly GestureThe twins were settled on their highchairs eating comfortably. The highchairs were easy to assemble luckily, and Ryan had helped in silence. I watched him work around the steps and he looked like a natural because Dax and I had taken time to set them up once.“All done,” he smiled as he watched the twins eat admiring them for a second.“If you have somewhere else to be, we can always

Chapter: I Have Twins!RyanI thought I was dreaming because she was here and not only was she here she brought my kids with her. My heart was doing somersaults and getting back to the way it was all this time. I paused as I said their name Alex and Ava Steel in my head. It had a nice ring to it, and I was already designing their rooms in my head and they were going to be spoiled rotten.I pulled out

Chapter: Chapter 11DiyaI remember fainting again at the beach but this time I felt strong arms carry me. It could have been Ace, but I wasn’t sure because I was half out of it before I closed my eyes and clung onto the body as my body weakened. He felt different, less gentle but I couldn’t complain because my throat felt dry and I was too tired to speak so I let him carry me. I decided to let sleep take me as he continued walking.I had a dream of me and Ace having an argument about the baby because he wanted a boy and I wanted a girl. Soon after I was rushed to the hospital and gave birth to a baby boy making Ace the happiest man alive. He had kissed my sweaty forehead before thanking me for bearing a son he wanted. He couldn’t keep his eyes off him the moment he was in his arms as he promised our little baby the world. Best dad

Chapter: Chapter 8DiyaI have been going around in circles trying to make a decision. If it were only me, I would have been long gone but I had to consider the baby. I made a vow in front of everyone and God to love my husband, but I didn’t think murder could be part of the hardship. I have forgiven my birth mother even if I never met her, but I can bring forgiveness in my heart for the man I love with my whole life. I contemplated going back to the church for a confessional or an insight but decided against it. I had no blood in my hands, but Ace and I were bonded could this possibly mean that I was a murderer too since we were made one in front of the church?Now you are being ridiculous. I thought to myself. This had nothing to do with me

Chapter: Chapter 7Diya“I didn’t think this would work,” I looked at Ruby who giggled as she wiggled out of my jeans.“We better hurry before Sister Josephine has a fit,” “Got it,” I spoked pulling her dress off.I couldn’t believe that I walked in with my held down enough for them not to see me. He managed to spot Ruby, but I was glad she kept her word and never said anything. We finished changing clothes in time before Sister Josephine walked in as I was fixing Ruby’s veil.

Chapter: Chapter 6Ace“I swear to God if you tell me to wait, I’m going to kill you,” I said.“Who would put up with your whining if I’m dead,” Filip responded casually as he scrolled on his phone.“I have been sitting here doing nothing while my wife could be out there. For all, I know she could be in a ditch somewhere. Did I mention she is pregnant?”“You mentioned,” he added as he kept looking at his phone.“What is she passed ou

Chapter: Chapter 50James“It’s not her,” I took a deep breath.Thank God it’s not her. I could finally breathe and calm down. I had gotten a call two hours ago that a girl matching Ki’s description had been found 80 miles away from Springs in the woods by some hikers. The drive was long and excruciating because I was praying it wasn’t her. I pulled my phone as I walked a few feet away from the scene to call Nigel. “It is her?” there was uncertainty in his voice.“No,” I shook my head to myself looking back at the scene, “I almost thought it was her when I noticed the hair,” I paused thinking back to a few minutes ago.

If she said it will work it will,” Nigel added as his phone rang, “Tori,” he answered with enthusiasm looking at me with an I told you so look, “Yes. Perfect,” he nodded, “Okay see you soon,” he said.“And?” I asked looking at him.“She will be here soon,” he said, “She is bringing us watches,” he grinned.“Watches?” I raised my eyebrow, “What will the watches do?” I asked as I leaned on my car.“You are abo

Did something happen?” she asked again.“No,” I responded, “I’m back because I have to go on a trip today. It’s la

Chapter: Chapter 47NickKi was the only person capable of bringing out all the emotions in me. She could bring out the best and the worst in me. I had been the best version of myself for and I believed I had made progress and now she was forcing my hand. I needed to make her forget about James and if it meant I have to do shock therapy on her so the memories finally vanish for good I would.I couldn’t focus on anything else because I needed to make sure she doesn’t get more memories later on. I needed to get her subdued immediately. I don’t care about anything else that they are talking about because the feelings she has to develop are supposed to be for me alone. I needed to get back to my house and settle this. Beside doctor Singa, I was the only one who knows about the Valium

Chapter: Chapter 46KioniI felt like a school kid called to the principal’s office as I squirmed and shifted on the chairs as doctor Singa looked at me. I didn’t know where to begin because I was still confused by everything. I played with the sleeves of my hoodie.“Why don’t you tell me about your day yesterday,” he asked.

Chapter: Chapter 45KioniI had a nightmare last night and Nick comforting me didn’t make me feel safe. I felt like a caged bird whose wings have been clipped and I need to be free. I felt tired and angry and I needed space but Nick wouldn’t let me have a moment to myself.“Baby, please open the door. Let’s talk about it,” he pleaded.“Not now, Nick,” I stood firm with my decision, “ I need a moment to myself,”I had locked myself in the bathroom and was refusing to open the door for him. I needed a moment to think for myself. I needed a clear head especially after the dream I had. It felt real something that had happened to me before.“Hon
