Mated To The Twin Alphas

Chapter 8: Fear

(Ember POV)



I headed straight to my apartment and double check the lock before walking towards Kitchen. My head was spinning with the thought of mate…Which was two instead of one. We have to leave this country as soon as possible because they can find us here. I don’t want to repeat my past once again. My whole body was shivering with fear and I pour a glass of water for myself and gulped it in one ago.

I started pacing back and forth but where should we go? My business was set here and my children started their Kindergarten. Kira was also satisfied with this job. Did we have to start our life again from scratch in a new country? What if they found us there also? I have to stop running away from my problem because I think, It was time to face it. I am fed up with this game of running and hiding. I thought and started brewing a cup of coffee because all these thoughts gave me a severe headache. I finished my coffee and opened my laptop because I have to prepare another investment proposal. I don’t want to visit that Robinson group of industries again, so I thought of trying my luck with the second potential investor. I opened the site of their company and started studying about this company, Winslow food company.

I prepared a good proposal and my cell phone rang. I picked it up and Rice was calling me. I know, She was also very excited about this new business deal but I have to tell her about my meeting with them. I thought about the lie which I have to tell her and then picked up her call.

“Hello, Mam! Where are you?” She asked in a cheery voice and I was feeling bad because I know, Her smile will falter after hearing the news, that I was about to tell her.

“I am at my apartment, Erica!” I answered and I was about to tell her about the meeting when her next words surprised me.

“I am so happy, Mam! Robinson's group of industries accepted our proposal and send a sample agreement. I forward it to you already, Please check it. I am so happy for you,” She said and I was looking at my mobile phone with shock written all over my face.

“What??? Are you sure?” I asked and she said yes. After a few more questions, I ended our call before opening my mailbox. A mail was really present in the mailbox. It was difficult for me to differentiate if they are really interested to work with our company or if This proposal is just a trap to bind me with them. I heaved a frustrated sigh before opening the document and started reading it.

I read the whole document and It surprised me to the core that they mentioned every small detail of the investment project but I didn’t give them any presentation and didn’t even discuss a single thing with them then how did they about everything? I asked myself before looking around me and then the reality dawned on me that I forgot my proposal file along with my handbag in their office. I facepalmed myself before looking towards my phone. I wanted to reject this proposal on the one hand but on the other hand, I don’t want to lose this golden opportunity. My head was spinning with all these negative thoughts. I looked towards the wall and got up from my seat because I have to pick up my children from kindergarten. I picked up my mobile and car keys before leaving my apartment.

My focus was still on that business proposal and I was standing in front of the kindergarten. Hannah and Asher ran toward me and I picked both of them in my hands. They were the light of my life and I don’t know how would I live without them.

“How was your day, babies?” I asked before opening the door of the car for them.

“It was good, Mommy! I really enjoyed it,” Hannah answered quickly.

“What about you Asher? Did you like your new school? I asked and he nodded but he was not as happy as Hannah.

“I think, You didn’t like your Kindergarten, Right?” I asked him again and he looked towards me through the rear-view mirror.

“No, Mama! I really like my school but my fellows are a bit childish,” He said and I wanted to laugh at his answer. I think He was expecting his fellows to be a bit sober but he was in kindergarten, so it was normal for the children to be a bit childish,” I thought but didn’t tell him anything.

He was a bit different from Hannah. He was smart, intelligent, and a really responsible child. Sometimes, I became scared after looking at his face. I think, My life and Its problems snatched his childhood from him because he was a very sensitive child and take notice of every single detail of the environment around him. He never behaved like a whiny baby or a moody child but, on the other side, Hannah was a bit moody and emotional. Asher knew better how to handle his sister, so It helped me a lot in bringing them up. Due to all the problems of the business, My guilt was eating me up from inside. An idea popped in my mind and I decided to work on it.

“We will go to the park tomorrow,” I informed them and Hannah almost jumped in joy but a small smile also appeared on Asher’s face.

A smile crept on my face also because I wanted to give them a happy and satisfying life. I tried my best to provide them with everything, so they will never miss their father. They asked me a few times about their father but I didn’t tell them because I didn’t want even his shadow on my children.

“Mama! How was your business deal?” Asher asked when I stopped my car in front of the apartment building.

“It was good and they accepted our proposal. I hope It will prove very beneficial for us,” I answered and Asher nodded before hugging me from the side. Hannah also followed his lead and hugged me from the other side.

“I knew it because my mommy is the best mommy in the world,” He whispered and a smile crept on my face after hearing his serious words.
