Chapter 8

Would he tell Cadmus what he saw, or will I get lucky and things would remain as they are?

I was no use once we got home and I locked us away behind closed doors wishing the world would stay at bay. I went through the motions of feeding my babies in their high chairs while my mind was in turmoil. And then the phone rang, it had only been two hours since I left the mall.

"Bring my sons to me or I'll make you regret the day you drew your first fucking breath." And then he hung up. I dropped to the floor as my legs gave out from under me. My first thought once again was to run. I even went around the apartment grabbing stuff to take on the run with us. twins's favorite stuffed toys, their blankets that they came home from the hospital with and were hardly ever without…

Then I realized it was fruitless. There's nowhere in the world I can hide from my ex. Not with his money, resources and connections. He may not have come after me, but I had no doubt that he'd move heaven and earth to find his children. So I did the only thing I could do. I cleaned my boys up and took them back downstairs to the car and proceeded to make the drive to city were I once lived with their dad.
