Chapter 53

I stood on the veranda, ready to say bye to the Rids as they loaded their school bags in Ellis’ car.

They hugged me, and I told them to have a great day ahead and watch out for each other

Ellis walked over to me from his car, his gaze roaming over me as he stopped in front of me, “Thank you for this morning…” his voice was soft, “And for everything else,”

I took a step back as we were a little too close, and this proximity was making it hard for me to breathe. I wondered briefly what he was going to say or do. He leaned in and kissed my cheek, making my heart race. I’m sure he could hear it. Ellis opened his mouth to speak when I heard a speeding car coming towards the driveway. David’s car.

David was out of the car before it could even park properly. He was glaring at Ellis, who glared back.

“Um. you can go before they are late for school,” I said. I wasn’t ready for any confrontations between the two today. Ellis raised an eyebrow at me and then nodded. He went to the car and put the kids in the car boosters.

“Good morning, babe,” David said, giving me a searing kiss. I kissed him back. I heard the aggressive revival of the engine from Ellis’ car. I glared at him. He was furious. I held David’s hand, leading him inside the house.

“Did Ellis Carter spend the night here?” David scowled. He noticed how Ellis’ natural scent dominated the house.

No, he didn’t spend the night here. He only came in the morning. He asked if he could take the kids to school, and I said yes,” I told him. He exhaled and stopped walking.

“Don’t you think this is confusing the kids? You know how kids are. They will expect this to be their new normal when it isn’t. Love, he has a mate and is not part of this family,” he said gently.

“What do you want me to do? Just say no when he asks to see them. He’s their dad,” I snapped, turning my icy glare on him. He didn’t understand my position. David wanted me to cut Ellis out, but that couldn’t happen now, not when children are involved. It would be easier if they didn’t know about him at all. I didn’t know how to make it clearer to David.

“I know, I know, I’m just jealous that he’ll be around now,” he murmured, kissing my forehead, his lips lingered. I pulled away.

Don’t be jealous of Ellis. He is not a part of my life like that anymore,” I told him.

“I can’t help it,” he whispered, caressing my cheek.

I spent the day at work. We were in the last developing stages of the application, so we worked extra hard. I needed it to be perfect before we could present it to the consumers.

I was glad to get off work because Lilac, Luis, and I would get drinks at a club later. I squealed in excitement when it was time to leave work. I was always the one who stayed up late, but I was the first one to leave today. I grabbed my bag and rushed to the hall. On my way out, I caught Ellis, Jace, and Charlotte. They seemed like they were in a serious conversation near the elevator I was to use. Couldn’t they have done it inside the office?

Jace caught me before I could make up my mind. “Hi, Lovie. I see you’re ready to go out with Lilac,” he beamed.

I only nodded and walked towards him.

#!

Love, congratulations, I heard you’re a mother. I couldn’t tell, since you haven’t changed one bit,” Charlotte seemed shocked and disturbed. Is this what they were talking about earlier? I didn’t answer Charlotte.

“I just learned about my mate’s… Children minutes ago, from pictures he took of them on his phone… I saw yours too,” She

giggled. There was no humor in her laugh. Tears filled her eyes. It was pathetic to watch. Ellis exhaled.

**

Don’t go through my fucking phone again,” he growled dangerously.

You and your family didn’t have the decency to tell me about your fiew children, and what you’re worried about is that I snooped through your phone, Ellis??” she snapped.

Excuse me,” I said, heading for the elevator. I was about to dial the button when Charlotte stopped me.

**

No, no, no. We have to talk, Love. I deserve an explanation,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Is this woman coherent?

I owe you nothing. I’ve said it/before, and I’ll say again, Charlotte,” I spat. She glared at me, and I glared back. However, Charlotte couldn’t keep eye contact with me.

“Are the kids my mate, or is this a trick to come between us?” she snarled, glancing at me. I almost chuckled at how absurd it was. Ellis growled at her, and she shrunk back. The bitch had gotten bold indeed.

”

Charlotte, I don’t care about you or him. There’s no gimmick, and it would be a relief if you kept YOUR precious mate from my children,” I told him. Ellis’ angry gaze snapped at me.

Your children? They are not yours alone, Love, and I’m not staying away from my children because you detest me,” he declared.

“I raised them alone for five years without you-

”

And whose fucking fault is that?” Ellis interrupted me with a growl, “You’re so fucking hateful towards me that you didn’t tell mē!

I bit my lower lips, furious. Ellis was right. had chances to tell him, but I didn’t because I loathed him and wanted to somehow punish him. It was selfish on my part, but I won’t admit it.

“You chose Ellis, and it wasn’t me. By doing so, you relinquished any rights to them,” I said slowly, looking him in the eye. I glanced at Charlotte, who had a new victorious smile on her lips.

“You shouldn’t have left, and I didn’t choose her!” he pointed at Charlotte, her smile vanished. I saw contempt and annoyance in Ellis’ gaze when he glanced at her.

You made that choice for me, and you were fucking wrong to do that!” I couldn’t stand the pain in his eyes. So, I did what I did best; walking away. The elevator opened, but Ellis followed me and pushed Charlotte out as she attempted to get on. She was shouting as it closed in her face.

“Just walking away while in the middle of a conversation. That is so you.”

“You were shouting, and I’m not interested in having that conversation with you. Let the past be the past!”

I was losing control of my emotions again. I attempted to get out, but he gripped my arm. He furiously pressed buttons and the elevator.

What do you think you’re doing?” I asked, angry. He was breathing heavily.

‘Why don’t you want me in their lives? I’m their father, and we were all alright in the morning. What changed?” he asked.

‘I don’t want to confuse the children. They might think we are a normal family and be expectant of other things only to be

disappointed. They are too young,” I said, rubbing my temples. He chuckled, he fucking chuckled, and it was cruel.

Confusing the kids… Just which birdy whispered in your ear? Let me guess, David. He threw a jealousy tantrum, and he told you this would confuse the kids, and you listened. Since when does he have so much power over your life, Love,” 1

Was I doing it to pacify David’s jealousy from earlier? I knitted my eyebrows for my actions. I let out a sigh from my mouth, unable to produce words. I noticed the elevator wasn’t stopping, and I wanted it to.

He means to deceive you, Love. These are our children, and I should be in their lives as much as possible. I want to raise them with you now,” he said sincerely. I looked everywhere but at him, remaining quiet. 1

“Do you know what we’ll confuse them with? Not seeing me after I made promises to be there for them. I can’t change what happened, and I’m sorry about it, but if you try to keep me from my children because of your hate towards me, I’ll fight you in court, and it will be messy,” With that said, he dialed a button, and the elevator stopped immediately. He walked out without another glance at me. My knees gave up. His aura is still swirling around. It was dark and pressing. He was angry at me for

was. saying he should stay away from the twins. 1

I was inhaling in and out. I got to my feet as the elevator reached the first floor and went to my car. The driver was waiting. He took me deep into the city, to a hotel where my two best friends were waiting for me. My elevator scene with Ellis was playing in my head. He was right about most things. I had no right to ask him to stay away.

We reached the hotel in fifteen minutes, and I rushed to the lobby to get my room card. On my way to the room, I bumped into a cart as I rummaged through my bag for my phone. I was almost knocked to the floor, but steady hands caught me. I looked up to see who saved me from the fall. He was a handsome and tall man with a charming smile that would make women swoon over him.

Love,” he exhaled. I knitted my eyebrows in confusion. He knew me, but I didn’t know him. He carefully placed me on my feet, and I murmured.

“Thank you,” he was looking at me with peculiar interest.

“You’re welcome, Love,” he said my name fondly again in his smooth English accent. His gaze made me uneasy, and his vibe was dangerous and cunning. There was something wrong about this man.
