The Billionaire's Secret Twin Babies.✔️

17. That one kiss.

I wanted to see her fucking riled up. The way she looked had my mind racing with thoughts. I simply could not resist the pull of my desire to push her buttons in all the right places.

"Let's go, pumpkin," I said with a grin, using the affectionate nickname that always brought a smile to her face.

Her eyes widened once again, and I couldn't discern whether it was because of my nickname for her or if she distinctly remembered me calling her "pumpkin" during our time as husband and wife.

Taking her hand in mine, I led us out of the hotel. As a small spark of electricity shot through my hand, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. It wasn't as strong as it had been in the past, but I couldn't ignore the feeling that this was a sign of something more.

Every few minutes, I could feel Faith trying to pull her hand away, trying to escape my grasp. But I held on tightly, determined to never let her go again. She was mine, and I would do whatever it took to keep her with me.

As we headed to an aquarium nearby which I knew she might like I finally spoke up.

"So, Faith," I purred, watching as she squirmed under my gaze. "How are your little ones doing?"

Her eyes widened in shock at my question, but she quickly composed herself. "They're doing well, thank you for asking," she responded, her voice trembling slightly.

So formal.

"I'm happy they are," I murmured, my gaze fixed ahead as I spoke to her.

"And your partner? Is he still around?" I inquired, observing as her face paled noticeably.

Faith's breath caught in her throat as she met my intense gaze. "I-I'd rather not talk about that, Mr. Harrison," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Mr. Harrison? It seems I might be pushing her limits, prompting her to retreat into her more formal demeanor and indirectly asking me to stop.

"Hmm," I hummed.

My beloved Faith, I fervently hope that no one is close to you, for I cannot bear the thought of sharing you with another man.

My heart aches at the mere notion of someone else occupying my place in her life, as if there were no room for me. I would be damned if I were to let anyone else take my place in your heart.

The mere thought of her being committed to another man, leading a life that doesn't involve me, sends my mind spiraling into turmoil and seething rage.

Jealousy and anger surge within me, knowing that someone else might have what I yearn for. Despite the internal conflict tearing me apart, I can't help but love her just the same.

Imagining her with another man, someone who now plays a paternal role in her children's lives, fills me with a deep sense of anguish and fury.

I remember how I had begged her for children. The idea that she may have shared that part of herself with someone else, while denying it to me, is almost too much to bear. My fists clench at the mere thought of it.

"Oh my gosh, they're so close! It's amazing," Faith exclaimed with excitement as she observed the fishes.

Her genuine joy and enthusiasm pulled me out of my reverie, making me smile in response. With a subtle motion, I discreetly took out my phone and snapped a few pictures of her, wanting to capture this moment of pure happiness.

With everything going on between us, I still cared for her deeply. Watching her in that moment, I felt hopeful that we could make things right between us.

Her face lit up with excitement as she pointed out the different species of fish and other sea creatures. Without realizing it, Faith took my hand and pulled me closer to the fishes, her grip firm and warm.

For a moment, we both stood there, lost in the magic of the aquarium. I could feel my heart racing as I gazed into her bright, shining eyes, admiring her beauty and charisma.

Suddenly, Faith seemed to snap out of her trance, and she slowly stood up straight, her hand still holding mine.

As she stared into my eyes, I could see the surprise and disbelief in her expression.

For a moment, we simply stood there, lost in each other's gaze, the sound of the aquarium fading away in the background. It was as if time had frozen, and all that mattered was the simmering connection between us.

Before she could pull her hand away, I leaned forward and planted a soft yet gentle kiss on her lips, my heart racing at finally reconnecting with my Avelyn.
