? EMERALD POV?
âI canât find Penny anywhere and she is not even picking my calls Rachel, and you think now is the best time to tell me she left the city with your kids now? In this situation!â Dad bursted angrily.
âWhat has gotten over you Rachel!â he bursted angrily.
âPenny made it clear to me that the both of you ainât seeing each other anymore dad, you canât eat your cake and have itâ I said and he stared at me with an hurt expression on his face.
âLet me guess, you went back to Xavier Jason?â Dad asked and I stared at him calmly.
âGoing back to Xavier is not the bone of contentment fatherâ I said and he banged his hand on the table in front of us angrily.
âIs that what you think? I gave you a life when that guy accused youâ¦â he trailed.
âBecause that was your duty as my father!â I bursted angrily as my voice shook at the edge.
âYou are making it sound like you never abandoned me for a great part in my lifeâ I said
in hurt.
âI was left to grow on my own, picking up the pieces of what Xavier broke should not make you feel like
feel like you are any better dadâ I said and he stared at me in shock.
âAre you talking to me like that?â he asked in disbelief.
âSomeoneâs got to tell you the bitter truth. You had Penny pa, then you decide to loose her yourself because you could not keep it in your pants. Penny deserves betterâ I said and he stared at me in disgust.
âDonât you dare me Rachel!â he said angrily.
âIâm back with Xavier not because of what you or anyone else has to say, but because we genuinely love and care about each otherâ I said and he just stared at me.
âHe accused you of killing his father, sent you to the out house and left you to die. You seem to have forgotten all of that in a twinkle of an eyes Rachelâ he said anger dripping out of his words.
âAnd then I made him vunerable towards me, manipulated him and even burned down. his company. When you think of it, Xavier and I are not different from each otherâ I

âMummy wants you and Derrick to to on a vacation with aunt Penny for now okayâ she said and they both stared at with curiosity written all kver their faces.
âAre you and Daddy coming along too?â Derrick asked.
âFor now?? No, Mummy and I have to stay back and handle important pack duties. But immediately we sought things here, we would come and join you guysâ I said and they gave a nod.
âBut we want to stay here with you and mummyâ Damien said and I could sense Emerald shaking from the emotions that enveloped her.
âWe would join you guys immediately we finish what we are doing over here, it is at promiseâ I said and they gave nods in agreement.
âAunt Penny is fun to be with anyways, we will just go with her and wait for you and mummy to join usâ Damien said with a bright smile on his face and we both chuckled.
âYou boys are fun to be with too my babiesâ Penny said to them and Emerald asked the Nanny to pack up some of their clothes for the trip.
When it was time to leave, the boys got a bit emotional but we sent them anyways. Penny who wasnât going to Emeralds place, but straight out of the city.
The least we want is to take chances that will cost us dearly.
âTheyâll be fineâ I said to Emerald as we both walked back inside together.
âI know, Iâm just sad they have to leaveâ she said and we both smiled.
âWhat do you want to do now that things are happening so fast?â She asked with conce
âFirst of all, I want to make him pay for everything he put me through babyâ I said and I donât need to say more than that, because she already knew who I was talking about.
Jaydenâs betrayal still hits deep when I think about it, he wont know what hit him when I get back at him.
âOne step at a time my loveâ Emerald said with concern as she hold my hands

said and Dad sat down on his office chair with a loud thud.
âGet out of my officeâ¦â he trailed.
âBut father you â¦â I trailed.
âI SAID GET OUT!â he bursted angrily as his words echoed in the room, I bowed and walk out of his office immediately.
The ride back to the pack house was a long and quiet one. Immediately I got into the house, I walked straight to Xavierâs room.
âI havenât been seeing or hearing from the kids son, and I wanted to make sure there okayâ I heard the voice of his pretentious aunt as I made my way into the room.
âYou have nothing to worry about aunt, they will be fineâ he said and I gave a nod as she looked in their direction.
âDo you think it is easy for the kids to stay away from their parentsâ¦â she asked, and all I could see while looking at her is her fake concern which pissed me off.
âAt least tell me where you guys took them toâ she said and I decided to step in.
âWe donât think that is necessary aunt Maggie, we want the location of the children to be private and it is going to be like thatâ I said and she stared at me in disbelief.
âWhat are you insinuating? That I will stoop so low to hurt my own grand children!â she fired back at me angrily.
âDo not put words in my mouth aunt Maggieâ I said trying my best to control my
temper.
âWhy canât I know the location of my own grand children huh? First you hide them from Xavier, and now you have brainwashed him into believing someone here wants to hurt the childrenâ she fired angrily.
âThe kids went on a vacation which I will not disclose their locations to anyb*dy, if you canât bare itâ¦let it goâ I said and she just stared at me with her heart fill with hatred.
âPride, that is all I see in too. After everything, I canât believe you shamelessly decided. to stick to Xavier due to what he has to offer. On a normal day, her words would have received a come back from me but I didnât want to hurt Xavier, considering the fact that she was like the mother he never had.
âNonsense!â she bursted angrily as she made her way out of the room.
*Baby donât you think we should tell her? She is just worried about the childrenâ he said and I knew he was feeling bad about the way we reacted.

âHey, we sent the kids away because we donât know where the attack would come fromâ¦â I trailed.
âBut Aunt Maggie would never think of hurting the kids, I basically grew up with her he said immediately.
âIâm not disputing the fact that she watched you grow after the untimely demise of your mother. What am trying to say is that, you should not tell anyone, the less she knows. the best for all of usâ I said and he smiled exhaustedly.
âAunt must feel so bad, I wull just look for a way to apologise to her. She genuinely cares for the kidsâ he said and I didnât say a word about the lies his aunt was telling.

âIt is late Maggie what do you want to tell meâ Blake asked in a bored and uninterested. tone as he picked up her call.
âDonât you angrily.
dare use that tone on me, if you still love your daughterâ Maggie bursted.
âDonât tell me you called me by this time of the night just to warn me about Rachelâ Blake said in shock.
âIt seems shocking until I attack Blake, your daughter is over stepping her boundaries. and someone got to tell her thatâ Aunt Maggie bursted angrily.
âYou think I have not tried? Iâm too tired to have this conversation right nowâ Blake said. and ended the call.
Maggie stared at her phone in shock, did he ended the call on her?? Pinching the bridge. of her nose, she made a mental note to deal with him later.
Her phone rang again and it was her son Elroy, she picked the call while walking into
the room.
âSonâ she said and I couldnât comprehend the things he was saying.

âWhat did you think Lina? That am a fool with no sense of reasoning on his own right?â he asked in anger.

âIt is definitely what it looks like because with this your bag, it shows you are ready to run away from me, forgetting the fact that you belong to meâ he said with a sinister laughter that made her take heavy steps out of fear.
âI donât belong to you Jayden, just let me go. Go ahead and take your pack and whatever

âAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhrr ?â she cried with each painful punch, she slowly started wishing the pain would fade away.
He lifted his hand to hit her one more time only to feel someone hold his fist from behind then throw him to the opposite end of the room.
Lina stood up as she cried like her life depended on it.

âAlpha Xavier you are here I â¦â he trailed will sweating profusely.
