Chapter 38
NOTE: There will be a change of point of view between Isabel and Logan so look out for it.
ISABEL
“You have done a nice job, Isabel. Thanks for helping. Honestly, this is because of you. I mean you stood by me and now things are starting to turn out good. I’m so happy.” Leah said with a smile on her face, her palm rested on her chest as she said those words.
She was sincerely happy and I was happy too. “The past few weeks have been rough and because you suddenly have one or two problems doesn’t mean I’m just going to leave and focus on myself. You helped me, Leah. You’ve been with me for a long time and I cannot leave. We will find Darius and he’d be pushed.” I opened my arms for her and we hugged.
“Since all of this is done and we are looking good to go then you should head home. I’m sure your kids must be waiting for you,” she said.
“Thanks for today and do have a good night. I’ll text you when I get home.” I said before walking towards my car.
She had told her driver to drive me home instead because I had come with my car.
I reached my house some minutes later only to see a familiar car parked outside. It belonged to Logan and I knew because I had seen him drive this car before.
What was he doing here? I thought to myself. We haven’t spoken to each other after having sex and what happened at the elevator the other day.
I walked towards my house with questions in my head. I wasn’t expecting him and he didn’t call to inform me that he’d be coming over to my place.
What could have brought him here? If he was inside my house then there is a chance that he saw the twins. The minute I thought of that, my heart began to race faster than normal.
I ment ally prayed for him to not have seen the kids because I didn’t expect him to find this way. Why did he come unannounced and why did Lilian let him in?
I entered my house and it was quiet. It was expected as my house is always quiet each time but tonight was different and that’s because Logan was in my house.
Why wasn’t he in the living room and where is Lilian? I decided to go over to my kid’s room to see them. I began to worry. Each step I took made me worry. The closer I got to my kid’s room, the more nervous I was.
I froze when I entered my kid’s room and saw Logan with my kids. He has both Ethan and Emma on his lap and they seem. happy with him. I forgot how to breathe at that moment.
If he has just seen Emma alone then he might not think that she was his but with Ethan, it was impossible because Ethan was his complete replica. Ethan was the mini version of him and even if someone wasn’t told, Id they saw Ethan and Logan then they’d know that they were related.
My eyes met with Logan at that moment. I couldn’t read him. I couldn’t tell what was going on in his head. That was something Logan was good at. He was good at masking his feelings. He looked away shortly and continued playing with the kids.
I never thought that he’d find out this way and I didn’t plan on telling him about the kids just yet but it seems like fate has other plans for me.
“Mummy!” Emma called once she noticed my presence with a smile on her face and with a cheerful tone.

Chapter 38
Ethan turned to look at me and he called out for me again, wanting to leave Logan’s lap and run up to me.
Logan did let go of him and he ran towards me. I leaned down with an open arm and hugged him, feeling at ease from his presence.
“My cute little boy. How have you been?” I asked, placing kisses all over his face and he giggled.
Emma still sat on Logan’s lap. She seems comfortable with him.
“You are back,” Logan stated, clearing his throat as he stood on his feet with Emma in his arms.
“And you are here?” 1 tried to act as casually as I could.
“Do you have some minutes? I think we have to talk, don’t you think?” He stated with no expression on his face so I couldn’t tell if he was angry or not.
“It’s late so I don’t think k tonight would be good. I mean you came to my house unannounced and you expect me to want to speak? This is intruding, don’t you think?” I tried to speak as calmly as I could.
“Are you sure?” It was as if he was daring him.
LOGAN POV
The minute I saw the mini version of myself, I couldn’t think of anything at that moment. It was as if my head went blank Lying in the bed in front of me was a younger version of myself, looking at me with those adorable eyes of his.
I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t know what to think. There should be an explanation as to why this big looks exactly like me just as he was younger.
The words d Raymond resurfaced in my head.
“Isabel was pregnant four years ago and although she denied it, the hospital confirmed that she was.”
Isabel was pregnant and she was pregnant for me. She had twins for me and I was not informed. For over four years, she kept this a secret and didn’t anything to let me know about my kids.
Even after we met, she didn’t think of saying anything and kept all to herself. Why did she do this? To punish me for the past? No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn’t get over it. It doesn’t justify her actions.
She was wrong. She shouldn’t have yet she did. This was the height of all betrayal. I had twins. I would have been their father from the day they were born and even before they were born yet she deprived me of it.
While the girl looked like Isabel, the boy looked at me and staring at them only took away all the anger I felt in my heart and all I felt was joy and happiness. They are adorable. I felt joy in my heart
“Emma and Ethan right?” I asked.
Lilian nodded her head in confirmation.
She looked at me and then at Ethan. I’m guessing she knew already who I was and that was why it was easy for me to get through to her for the first time.
The moment she saw my face, she already knew I was Ethan and Emma’s father. Now I understood the shock she felt when she saw me for the first time.
She doesn’t know their father existed all thanks to Isabel who had decided to punish me for a crime I committed in the past.
It just happened so naturally that I got along with my kids. I asked questions and they answered. Ethan seemed a little hard

Chapter 38
to get along with but soon he loosened up and began to laugh at my jokes.
I could have done this. I have always imagined doing this and she knew it. Isabel knew how much I wanted to be a father and we spoke about the number of kids we’d have together too. We already made plans for everything and when she finally had them, she never thought of me.
As much as I wanted to be angry with her, I couldn’t Emy that he had done a nice job raising the kid all by herself.
I was having so much fun speaking to the kids. How I wish I found out as soon as I should, maybe things would have been different in my life. Maybe I’d be much happier. Being in the presence of my kids brings me solace.
Not too long Isabel came and I didn’t fail to notice the shocking expression on her face when she saw me with the kids. That gave me all the answers that I needed. She never intended for me to find out and that was why she kept pushing me away and preventing me from coming to her house.
She knew what she was doing and if she knew I’d be coming over then she’d have avoided it. I could tell she was speechless
too.
I had so much to say to her. It was when I saw her that k suddenly recalled the anger I felt. I was happy earlier with the presence of my kids. I’ve never felt so alive in a long time.
“We need to talk,” I said to her.
“I already said that we will speak another time and not now. It’s late and besides I’m exhausted as you can see,” she replied but I only saw that as a means of her having the conversation with me.
I knew that if I didn’t speak to her today then I wouldn’t be able to speak to her again as she’d do what she knows how to do best and that’s avoiding me.
“You can’t avoid this conversation, I hope you know that?” I remarked, holding onto Isabel firmly.
She was holding Ethan firmly too. Our family was complete. She is the woman I’ve ever wanted. Standing in front go her while we held the kids only made me realize just how much I’ve always wanted this.
I’ve always wanted to have kids with her. I didn’t just want to have two, I wanted to have seven and I recalled h o she was vehemently against it..
“It’s late and besides, the kids need rest. You don’t want to disturb them, do you?”
“I’d advise you leave so I can do the needful as their parent and also get some rest for myself,” she uttered, empha word parent as if she wanted me to know that she was the only parent in the children’s life.
