Chapter 66 LOUD AND CLEAR
Chapter 66 LOUD AND CLEAR
“Hi, Ellie. Amelia called me and she wants me to take her to the mansion.” Karma explained when I was the one who opened the door for her. I just nodded and I open the door widely for her to come in I showed her to the twins' room. I saw both of them sitting on their respective bed. But Amelia has a bag with her, locking determined to leave me.
I controlled my tears from falling. I know I messed up big time. I guess they are better to stay in Escarrer mansion than be with me. I was still mourning for my parents
I was not able to mourn for them before because things happened so quickly that I find it hard to absorb everything.
I was in denial for years. I don’t want to accept the reality. I pretended that everything is alright and nothing has changed. I took over the company as soon as the funeral was over.
I took as many workloads as I could so that when I went home I don't have time to think of anything and just sleep
I have been doing that for many years until one day my desire to have a family came into my mind that leads to my encounter with Ulie. And the rest is history.
When Ulie confessed to me what really happened, the pain that I tried so hard to hide got exposed. And I was not able to control it.
The pain and betrayal consumed me
“Alistair, are you sure you want to stay here?
I was back from reality when I heard Kaela's question to Alistair.
“You will stay here?” I asked Alistair a bit confused.
Alistair gave an assuring smile. "I already told you, mom, that you will always have my back. I will never leave you. I will always stay with you.” The tears that I was trying hard to control flow. I went to Alistair and hug him. “Thank you for staying my son.”
Then I heard Kaela's cough. I look in their direction. I saw Amelia looking at me.
“Do you still want to go with me?” Kaela asked Amelia.
Amelia still looks at me as if she was waiting for something.
I honestly want to stop her but I know she misses his dad so much. Even if I hate Ulie to death, I still want him to be a father to my children. That is the reason why I don't want the kids to know the exact reason for our breakup.
I wanted to protect his image not for him but for my children. Amelia sighed and turn his look to her Auntie Kaela. “I want to be with dad.” She said. Kaela pat her head and nodded. “If that's what you want.”
Kaela took her bag and went to me. “We will go now. Ellie, I want you to know that you are always welcome in the mansion. You can visit Amelia anytime.
I just nodded at her and didn't give any answer.
I feel awkward talking to them. I don’t know if I should be mad at them or not. I know that they know nothing about my parent's involvement with Ulie. But maybe I was a bit angry by the fact that they chose to keep the truth to Ulie.
I can't blame them for wanting their son to live a normal life. But what about me? What about my parents?
I don’t know exactly what I want Ulie to do. I don't know if I want him in jail or what. My mind is still in chaos. All I Know right now is that I am angry at him
“I think Amelia is waiting for you to stop her,” Alistair said after Kaela and Amelia left.
“You think so?” I asked.
Alistair nodded. “I’m sure. She’s my twin. I know exactly how she thinks.”
“But I feel like she should be with your dad. I am afraid that if she stays with me, she might hate me more.” I told him.
Alistair is more mature than Amelia. I understand why Ulie chose to explain things only to Alistair. The reason why I chose to let Amelia be with her father. Ulie can handle her well
The next day Ulie and I were in the headline again. I was not surprised though. I already expected this to happen.
The headline is about our rumored breakup. I hire a bodyguard for Alistair because for sure the media will flock on them. And I don’t want my children to deal with them.
I instructed the bodyguard before I drive them to school. “Alistair protect your sister okay?” I said when he was about to get out of the car.
“Don't worry mom. I got this. You should be careful too. Media will surely be at your office all day. Don't eat outside. Just order your food and have them send in your office.”
I chuckled as I listen to his instruction. “Mom, I’m serious,” Alistair said while pouting his lips.
“I know son. Don't worry, I can handle them well.” I said to assure him.
And just like waat we expected, the media we esiocking on my office building. make sure that I drive a- diffe ent‘ear. Since we have been the li relight i in the previous years, I decided to buy a car that wilttbe used for situations like thisContent bélongs ©
Since the car is tinted, the media didn’t bother my car since they are expecting another car.
“Wow! You were to avoid them this easy.” Luna exclaimed.
‘I was expecting this to happen. Especially that Hadley was there during Ulie's confession about the accident. “What? So she is the one who spilled this news to the media again?!” Luna hissed.
I shrugged. “I'm not sure. But whether Hadley spill it or not, for sure media will find out about this sooner or later.” “You have a point.”
I spend my time as usual. I busied myself to work.
It was my afternoon break when Hadley barges into my office.
“Hey, I told you that Ms. Cabello is busy. And you don't have a meeting scheduled with her!” Luna said trying to stop Hadley from entering my office. “It's okay Luna. You can leave us.
“Are you serious with what you told me in the hospital?” Hadley asked as soon as she saw Luna go out of my office I tried to remember what I told her at that time.
“You told me that Kade is all mine now,” Hadley said when she saw me trying to remember that night.
I just sighed and look at her. “I don't care about him anymore. You can have him as much as you want just stay away from me. I don’t want to have any connections with him anymore.”
Except for the kids. I wanted to add but I chose not to say it
“I will be glad to help you with that. Since Kade is mine now, I will help you in return.” Hadley said look so dreamy. Does she love Ulie that much?
I rolled my eyes. “No thank you. Just staying away from me will be more than enough. Don’t bother yourself.” “Are you sure? Because I can surely help you with what you want.”
I creased my forehead. “What do you mean?
“You told me about the sole custody that you want before. You don't remember it?”
“Of course I remember it. It was my real plan, to begin with.” I told her.
“Exactly your real plan! We can still make it happen. With my help, you can finally have sole custody with your children.”
I shook my head. “I don’t know what is running inthe mind yours but I’m afraid to break your fantasy but what yotLare thinking now is SS impossible to happen. The Escarrer family will never allow it to happen, netyust Ulie. And I can’ wirvagainst thém.” ta
“Maybe. But if I got pregnant with Kade’s child then that is a different story.” Hadley confidently said.
My heart wanted to protest about what I just heard. But I reminded myself that Ulie and I are impossible to happen. I should expect this possibility now that I broke up with him.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“What can you say?” Hadley said with much excitement.
“How will you be able to do that? You will have a one night with Ulie like what I did?” I said while chuckling. “Of course not! That was so cheap. Oppps! I’m sorry. But that was really a cheap move.” Then she smirked I rolled my eyes. As if what you did to chase Ulie is not cheap.
“Anyway, the plan is to offer them to proceed with our supposed wedding since there is zero chance of you guys getting back together.” She started sharing his plan.
“Then after our wedding, Kade and I will soon havé.our baby. And when that happens I will ask him to give .. you solecustody of your twins. Ulie doesn’ ‘tneed you, children, after giv ing-Birth to our child. And L.will remitid him of what he did to-you and surely he will agree ofemy request.” She said looking so evil.
“That's it! Everybody is happy, right? Ulie and I will happily build our own family together while you will have the twins for yourself. I was about to answer her ridiculous plan when the door opened.
“Is what that woman said true, mom? You want dad to marry that woman and have a family with her so that you could have me and Alistair for yourself?!"
“Amelia that's not true. Let me explain.
“What's there to explain about? We heard about your plan with her loud and clear! You are so selfish, mom! I hate you!
