CHAPTER 25 (Part 1)

Talliah Eryn Castillego POV

MULTIPLE RINGS from the phone made me open my eyes. I groaned a bit when I felt my aching body. Two mighty arms snaked around my waist. I smiled slightly when I saw Rainer's face buried in my chest.

His lips parted a bit while peacefully sleeping. we're both tired after our love making session. My attention was caught again when the cellphone rang. So I quickly took it from the bedside table.

I looked at the wall clock at what time I realized it was only ten at night. My brows furrowed when I saw the caller. why are they still awake? They should be sleeping at this hour.

My heart started to beat faster inside my chest after I answered the call. My heart pounded when Rainer moved a little. I held my breath for a moment, I was relieved that he wasn't awake.

"Momma are you t-there?" Tallan's voice quivered while asking me.

I was suddenly confused because of his voice. What's wrong?

"Yes sweetie I'm here. Why did you call? It's late. You can't sleep?" I asked in a low voice trying to calm the trembling system while looking at Rainer's face.

"Momma, Raiah's fever is very high. She was calling your name. I know that you're busy but she needs you right now." Tallan said sobbing on the other line making my lips part.

I took a deep breath and calmed my pounding heart. Calm down Talliah. You should go home right now okay? Your daughter needs you. I was about to get out of bed when I felt Rainer's tight hug around my waist.

I blinked at the thought that if I were to leave today I should also be back early tomorrow before he wakes up. Why haven't you told him about the twins yet? my mind always asked that question. But my answer is I'm a little bit afraid of his reaction. I'm afraid he's not yet ready to be a father to my twins.

But I promise I will tell him tomorrow. Right now I need to go home, my children need me.

I slowly removed Rainer's two arms that were wrapped around my waist. I feel like I'm not breathing as I slowly get out of bed.

The cold immediately hugged my body after I got up from the bed. I stood naked on the edge of the bed while adjusting the blanket on Rainer's body.

I stroke his hair softly and stare at his handsome face. I'm sorry if I don't have the courage to tell you about the twins. But I promise tomorrow I will tell you about our children. for now I need to leave for a while. My daughter needs me.

Whatever your reaction will be I will accept it. But my heart hopes that you will accept the twins. I hope you will accept them even if they are not in your plan.

I wore Rainer white shirt paired with black pajama. I put on Rainer's thick jacket because I knew it was very cold outside since it was night. The smell of his manly perfume immediately hit my nostrils.

I texted Keegan that we would meet today at his friend's private airport.

I looked at the man I love who was sleeping soundly. He prayed that he wouldn't wake up. One last glance at his handsome face before I closed the door.

While inside the elevator, my cell phone rang. I answered the call immediately.

"Queen the chopper is ready, where are you?" Keegan asked on the other line.

"I'm still inside the elevator. Did you call Lana? Is my daughter okay now?" I asked as I waited for the elevator to open.

I ran faster to the parking lot and immediately went inside my car. I started the engine while holding the phone to my ear and shoulder.

"She already called the doctor. It's probably on its way to your house. Hurry up because your son was looking for you earlier. I will end this call I guess you're driving now. Keep safe Queen."

"Thank you Keegan." I muttered and ended the call.

I can't help but worry about my son. Caelliah's is not that healthy. She needs proper care. He is easily infected. He gets hurt quickly. He was also a very tearful child. so I always tell Tallan to keep a close eye on his brother. Tallan is very protective of her sister.

But he can't protect his brother all the time. maybe that's why he cried earlier while calling me because he was too worried about his brother.

The silence of the night, very different from the sound of my heart. I feel like crying while driving. I'm just thinking that Raiah is crying now while calling my name because my heart is twisted.

I gasped for air when I finally arrived. I saw Keegan immediately walked towards my direction. I immediately got out of my car.

I saw ahead of us the chopper that was going to Las Heras. I smiled slightly at Keegan after he bowed his head a bit.

My brows furrowed when I didn't see the driver of the chopper. I tilted my head to look at Keegan.

He slightly shrugged his shoulder while looking at me "There's no driver so I'm the only one," He stated.

I just nodded and continued walking towards the direction of the chopper. I forgot that he also knows how to drive in these.

I was about to go inside when I heard a very familiar scream. It was like thunder in the still night.

My lips parted as I heard my heart beating so hard. My already noisy heart became even louder because of his scream.

"Talliah!" His voice roared like thunder in a peaceful night.

My knees suddenly trembled while listening to his angry scream. Even though I haven't seen his face yet, I know that he is immediately angry.

He followed me? How? Was he awake when I left? Oh my gosh! I'm not ready for this yet! Even though my whole system was shaking, I tried to calm myself down and gradually faced the person who shouted my name.

I think my breathing stopped after I saw my man with his angry expression while walking towards my direction. I am like a cat caught by its owner because it has committed a wrong sin. I could clearly see how the darkness embraced Rainer's eyes while not taking his eyes off of me.

He looked at me darkly while his jaw kept on clenching. Blowing her messy hair. you can really see that he doesn't care about how he is right now because he seems to want to chase someone. My muscles froze at the look he was giving me.

I feel like I've been caught. My whole body suddenly went cold when I saw him laugh softly but without emotion while staring into my eyes. He glanced at my side. He looked angrier now.

"Damn it!" Rainer cursed that made me blink my eyes. Tell me he's not here please. he shouldn't be here for pete's sake!

"What's going on?! Damn it! You're going to leave me again?!"

My mouth was closed and nothing seemed to want to come out while staring at his angry face. Did I make him this mad? I'll be back... I won't leave him. He thinks it's so wrong.

I want to open my mouth to speak but no words come out. I want to explain that I'm not going to leave him again but he might not believe me because of what he sees now.

Even though I was nervous, I tried to approach him. I could clearly see how his shoulders moved up and down and his clenched fist.

Oh my god I'm a smart person but why now I feel like a fool because I can't find an answer. What should I say to him? That I won't leave him and just go to our children?

"You promised you will stay right? That you won't leave me? But what? Are you really like that? You leave me every time I sleep?" Rainer said in a raspy voice. He looked up while trying to calm himself not to explode in anger.

He looked at me with his teary eyes. You can see the tiredness in his eyes. It was as if my heart was trampled because of what I was seeing.

"Why are you so quick to leave me? You just make me feel like I'm asleep and then you leave all of a sudden? Why?" He asked me that question that made me shut my mouth.

With my wobbling knees I walked towards him. I don't want to cry! My Caelliah needs me right now. Time is running out so we need to get out. But I have to deal with my husband right now. I don't want him to think that I'm going to leave him because I really don't.

I hug him tight. I could feel the strong beating of his heart and I realized that as strong as my heart was beating earlier, his heartbeat was going to get even stronger.

I caressed his back to calm him down. I looked for his clenched hand and intertwined our fingers.

"Rainer..." I softly called his name.

With his angry expression he looked down at me. Even though he was angry, I still saw the fear in his eyes. I'm sorry baby...

My lips parted a bit when Rainer immediately hugged me tightly. he buried his face in the side of my neck and I just felt the hot liquid flowing from his eyes causing my clothes to get wet. I-Is he crying?

"I-I'm scared..." Rainer sobbed as he hugged me tighter.

"P-Please Talliah take me with you... take me wherever you want to go. I wouldn't ask more questions. J-just please don't leave me. Don't leave me hanging again..." he pleaded while sobbing.

My heart shattered into pieces hearing his cries. I didn't intend to hurt him this way but he thinks that I will leave him again which is not!

"It's so hard for you to read. It's so hard for you to predict. I don't know what's going through your mind. but I want to understand you again and again because I love you..."

He hugged me tighter as if the moment he let go of me, I would suddenly disappear. My heart thumps wildly inside my chest at his words. Why am I making this man cry?

Such a man should not be made to cry. But here I am hurting this man. With what I did, I was only hurting Rainer because I was avoiding him to know that we have children. But maybe that's right. He needs to know about the twins. He deserves to know about the twins.

Because if I hide this thing he will only think big thoughts.

"Do you want to come with me? Anywhere?" I whispered softly. I felt Rainer nodded his head.

"Anywhere Talliah. As long as I'm with you." He whispered softly.

My heart jumped because of what he said.

"Even in the deepest of hell? You still want to come?" I asked and laughed softly. He hugged me even tighter.

"Even in hell, I'll be with you. Just don't leave me." he whispered pleadingly in my ear.

I smiled because of what he said.

"You don't belong in hell baby, you belong in heaven." I mumbled while stroking his hair.

Rainer went up and our eyes immediately met.

"I'm willing to be in hell if I'm with you. I don't want heaven if you're not there." he said softly while caressing my cheek. I smiled because of what he said.

When will he find out about the twins? Will he be too angry with me? He hates liars so much. And I am a liar for lying about my children. Will he still be with me when he finds out that I'm a liar?

"I won't leave you, I'll just go to the place where someone is waiting for me." Your children are waiting for me. "They need me right now. So I have to leave right now. Will you come with me?" I asked softly.

Rainer looked intently at my blue orbs and nodded his head slowly. I guess this is the right time Talliah. Brace yourself for his anger. You should be happy because tonight the twins will finally meet their Dadda. Isn't this what you want? That they will meet their Dadda? Leave your fear behind and face the truth.

That you cannot hide your children from him forever. Nothing will change if you just wait longer. You're just making it take longer for them to meet father and son.

Someone whispered in the back so he grabbed Rainer and I's attention.
