ISABEL

I made sure the sleepers were asleep before I went to meet Logan. He refused to leave unless we spoke and no matter how hard I tried to deny him of that conversation, he just wasn’t having it.

Lilian left some minutes ago after doing what she was supposed to do.

He was seated in the living room by the time I went to him. “Can we speak outside?”

He said nothing and stood up, making his way towards the door and I followed suit. I never thought of this day happening fast. Just how did he find out? I couldn’t help but think about it.

I never thought that today of all day would be the day he’d find the twins I’ve hidden from him.

We were now standing face to face but neither of us saying anything.

“Aren’t you going to say anything?” He said.

“Say something? You are the one that wanted to speak so why should I be the one to begin the conversation?” I retorted.

“Oh really? Are we doing this now?”

“Are you asking me?” I retorted.

“I am trying my best to have this conversation with you without having to raise my voice and that’s why I’m waiting for you to speak because I want to hear what you have to say.”

I scoffed at his response. “You have got to be kidding me if you think that is starting this conversation.”

He glared at me and I glared at him too. If he wanted to speak then he should be the one to start the conversation because I wasn’t the one who wanted to speak.

“So you have nothing to say concerning this whole issue?” He questioned, his brows rose slightly.

“As

s you can see, I have nothing to say to you. You wanted to speak to say something.” I replied.

I folded my arms across my chest and looked away.

“Why didn’t you tell me about them Isabel? For f uck sake why did you keep this a secret? Why would you deny me my right to be a father? Just why?” He sounded hurt and I scoffed in disbelief because he had no right to feel hurt.

“Excuse me? Are you seriously having this conversation? Deny you? Hid them? And why do you think I’d do that?”

“Isn’t that what you did? You had twins for me yet you never told me about it,” he said in his defense and I let out a loud sarcastic laugh.

“Wow. His they from you? I’m so speechless. I don’t even know what to say. I’m short of words. And why would I do that?” I asked.

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s to punish me. You wanted to punish me because I what I did four years ago.” He replied.

“And since you know that was the reason then why are you pis sed?” I asked.

“Are you kidding me? This is the life of my kids…”

Chapter 39

“Our kids.” I interrupted-

“Yes. Our kids yet you didn’t seem it fit to let me know about them. How could you?”

200%

1 scoffed. “Do what? Are you seriously asking all these questions when you know the reason? Don’t even get me started on what you did to me that night I came over. The night you left me for Jade. You didn’t even let me speak. You constantly shut me up, rejected me, and asked me to be thrown out and now you want to talk about justice?”

“No matter what I did doesn’t justify tuş punishment. I was wrong. I regret it and I told you why I did what I did. I never meant to hurt you. I didn’t want to break your heart but it happened and I’m so sorry. Please forgive me. I will constantly ask for your forgiveness for as long as I can but keeping those kids away, didn’t you feel bad?” He uttered.

“Don’t even get me started Logan!” I yelled.

I’m trying my best not to get angry but you are pushing it. You think when I found out four years ago, I wasn’t eager to tell you? Do you know how excited I was for you to know about this and how excited I was to know that I was pregnant? Do you!” I yelled.

“What are you trying to talk about?” He asked frantically, his voide lower than usual.

“What I am trying to say is that the night you broke my heart was the same night I found out about my pregnancy!” I was hurt. Talking about it only resurfaced old memories and opened old wounds

“You left me to marry Jade and I fainted. Not once did you come to the hospital to check on me. Tears formed in my eyes.

My voice was fading and I could hardly hear myself speak. “I woke you up feeling hurt, looking around for you but you were nowhere to be seen. Do you know how that hurts? Do you know? Then I found out I was carrying a child. I was excited. What am I even saying? I was ecstatic!”

“I thought maybe if you knew, you’d be with me. I refused to accept that you’d betray me and I expected some sort of explanation why did I do it? I decided that I must go and see you going against my father because I wanted to inform you of our babies.” I exhaled deeply, taking a step towards him.

I smiled weakly. “I thought you’d be happy. I thought that would repair a lot. Do you recall? Do you recall how I hugged you when I first saw you and told you I had something to say to you, so you recall?” I pushed him hard on his chest but he didn’t budge.

“Of course you do!” I was fighting the tears that were threatening to stream down my cheek. I didn’t want to cry and it refused to cry.

“You pushed me. You didn’t let me speak. You treated me like trah. You watched as Jade hit me on my face. You didn’t move and you looked me in the eyes to tell me that you rejected me. You swore under the moon and the stars that you don’t love. You broke and shattered me and then you come now to talk about injustice?”

“Don’t even go there! I was going to tell you that night. I was going to tell you about the twins. I was going to tell you yet you shunned me. You prevented me from doing so and now you want to get mad? Don’t even try that.”

He opened his mouth to say something but ended up closing it back.

“Exactly what I thought. You have no right! You can’t even talk about being kept in the dark when you pushed me. You shattered me. Do you know how many sleepless nights 1 had? Do you know that I even thought of killing myself again at one point? Do you know the pain that I went through? You don’t. You won’t ever know that!”

“Imagine I decided to die, would you even know about them? Not So don’t you open your dirty mouth to talk about anything? You have no right and they are not our kids but mine! You rejected them without even knowing them and now you suddenly want to be a father. Funny isn’t it?” I rolled my eyes at him.

“I’m… I’m so sorry.”

Chapter 39

I scoffed. “Be sorry for yourself. I don’t give a f uck about your apology. The deed has been done and when I refused to speak, this was what I meant. You haven’t only disrespected me but you’ve opened old wounds and now I don’t want to ever

see you.”

“I’m so sorry that you had to go through all of that. I know that I shouldn’t have….I.. no matter what I say won’t justify it but I care about you and I want…”.

“Enough. I don’t want to hear any of it. It’s late as you can see.” I remarked,

“Please give me a chance…” he moved closer and I took a step back.

“Don’t come any closer Logan,” I warned.

“I want to make things right. I want to do right by you and the twins and for that to happen, I need you to give me a chance.

To

I cut him off. “There will be no chance. I thought you wanted to claim right earlier. I thought you wanted to prove to me that I was wrong. Suddenly you change your mind? Kindly make it make sense to me because it does! You have done your part and constantly you’ve given me more reason to stay away.”

*Isabel I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you and when I found out about the kids, I wasn’t sure about how I felt but seeing them in person made me happy. I felt this joy in my heart. I haven’t felt that way for a long time.” He confessed.

“Oh please.”

He took a step closer again and I took another step back.

“Don’t do this to me. To push me away. I’m pleading. Please forgive me and give me a chance. He cried.

“Did

you give me a chance to tell you about them when you decided to break my heart? Did you give me a chance? For days! I waited, although you had rejected me for you to come and tell me it was fine. To give me an explanation but it never happened and now you want one?”

“Now tell me, would you have asked for one if this kid weren’t involved?” I questioned.

“You and I know that I’ve been trying to get you back without knowing about the kids. I love you Isabel and I don’t mind having to tell you every day for you to know just how much in in love with you.” He voiced out confidently.

I ran my finger through my hair. “I don’t know about that.”

“That’s because you don’t want to. You still care about me. You still have feelings for me so why are you preventing this?” He asked.

“I don’t have feelings for you. You don’t know that,” I denied.

“You don’t do too well when you lie. Your heart beats faster than normal whenever I’m close and right now you are avoiding standing close to me because of what you feel and you know that

“You know nothing!” I exclaimed.

“Then prove me wrong.” Before I knew it, he pulled me closer to him, hugging me firmly, taking me by surprise.

I gasped. I tried to pull away but he was holding me firm, refusing for me to move.

“You are mine, Isabel. You are mine and I’m forever yours.”
