Chapter 4

STORM

The next few days flew by smoothly, Storm made sure to stop overworking so she could have enough time to spend with Aelle and the babies. They have been getting to know each other quiet well, their bond was stronger and Storm has been bonding with the kids too. She'd always catch Aelle watching her with a soft smile everytime she spent some time with the triplets. She really loved those babies, she was always making sure they have everything they need and whenever one or all of them cried, she'd do anything to make sure they were calm.

Storm felt an emotion she had never felt before, she was complete and happy. She never thought she would ever feel the way she did around Aelle and the babies. She wanted to give them everything they wanted, she literally worshipped the ground they walked on. She smiled softly as Tristan babbled away in her arms, Christian and Grayson were asleep but for some reason, Tristan was too energetic to sleep.

Aelle was busy with her studies, Storm had hired a tutor for her when she found that the girl never went to school. It did not bother her whatsoever but Aelle was insecure so the older woman made sure to address her insecurities one by one. She'd keep doing it until the day Aelle finally realizes how beautiful and perfect she is...

"Ma'am, your mother is here to see you." A maid pulled her back from her thoughts.

Storm nodded before looking down at Tristan who was happily sucking on his thumb and staring up at her. She thought of leaving him with his brothers but knew he'd wake them up with his brothers hence, she cradled him close and went to meet her mother.

Mrs Rivera turned around as soon as she heard her footsteps, " Anastasia, how many times do I have to tell you to not allow your servants to bring their filth in your home?" She scolded harshly as she glared at Tristan.

Storm stared blankly at her mother before turning to the man besides her who was busy checking Storm out." I'm going to say this once so listen closely, Mrs Rivera," she spoke in a cold tone. " Never ever barge in My house and disrespect me. What I do or don't tell my helpers is none of your business."

The older woman scowled while the guy frowned, " How dare you speak to your mother like that?" The man butted in.

Storm's icy glare turned to him, " Who are you?"

Before the guy got a chance to answer, Mrs Rivera grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to Storm. " This is Fallon, he's our business associate from Turkey and your fiance, I came here to tell you to prepare for your wedding. Your father and I already agreed..."

She was cut off by a glass shattering, all of them turned to the stairs to find Aelle frozen in shock with tears streaming down her face. It made Storm want to destroy the reason for her tears, she knew the girl heard what her mother said. Before Aelle could think of an escape, Storm was already in front of her. She used one hand to hold Tristan while the other wiped the younger's tears.  Aelle looked up at her with so much fear and pain it broke her heart. Storm just shook her head softly before handing Tristan to her and kissed both of their foreheads.

" Anastasia Storm Rivera, what do you think you're doing kissing that slut in front of your future husband?! " Mrs Rivera screeched," No daughter of mine is a damn fag so you better kick that thing ... "

" ENOUGH. "Storm roared so loud and furiously that all of them jerked back. Mrs Rivera was shocked, she had never heard Storm raise her voice before, she was always calm and collected. Always silent and would always just leave if anyone pissed her off too much. Now though she looked like she wanted to rip her own mother to shreds, Fallon stepped back in fear as the woman stalked towards her mother.

"I'm up to my neck with you, woman," she growled lowly." I've tolerated your nonsense for far too long and now you've crossed a line you shouldn't have dared crossed ever."

Mrs Rivera shivered in terror, she nearly pissed her pants as Storm glared down at her. "D-don't t-talk to your mother like that." The woman managed to stutter.

"Mother? What the hell are you babbling about, woman? You might have birthed me but you're no mother of mine. You're nothing but an egg donor and if I were you I'd think twice before ever messing with me again."

"Are you going to talk to your mother that way for a damn whore?" Fallon hissed.

That was a breaking point for Storm, she saw red at that very second. She moved swiftly and had grabbed Fallon by the throat lifting him off the ground a little. "Watch. Your. Mouth. Boy. No one is allowed to call my girl any degrading names. Now I don't give two bits about who you are or where you come from. I want you out of my house the second I let you go and out of this city, I will not have you breathe the same air as my girl and if by mistake I find out you're still here, I'll ruin you." The threat was delivered in a calm yet malicious tone that stunned everyone in the room.

The moment Fallon was dropped on the floor like a sack of potato, he fled like his ass was in flames. Storm smirked before turning to her excuse of her mother, she grabbed her chin harshly and turned it towards Aelle who was watching the scene with shock all over her face. Tristan was asleep in her arms, the other two had woken up but a maid told her she'd attend to them. Everyone in the house adored Aelle and her babies especially because she was sweet, innocent and she made Storm happy.

"Now, Mrs Rivera, I want you to look at that gorgeous girl with a precious baby in her arms, look I'm at her and remember her face. Next time if you dare insult her or our children, I destroy your pathetic life and make sure you end up in the streets, understand?" She whispered softly in her ear.

Mrs Rivera trembled, she had never witnessed this side of Storm before. Now she understood why they refered to her as the Demon Queen. She nodded her head quickly which made Storm let go of her and stared at her blankly . "Good. Now get out of my house and never come back."

With that she turned and rushed up the stairs, she took Tristan into her arms. Aelle kept staring at her with adoration so Storm leaned down and captured her lips softly before caressing her cheek. "Remember this, Aelle, because I don't want to repeat myself again. I am yours just as you're mine and I will never be with anyone else but you."

Aelle gaped at her, " And if I leave you?"

Storm frowned at her question, she did not like the way it made her feel, " Then I won't stop you but I will never belong to anyone else." With that she left the girl there shocked .
