" We need to talk "
I told the boys and we went to sit in the living room this house feels like a perfect cozy home and I am glad my kids got to live in this environment and thinking about all possible scenarios I told the boys
" your mother left us a letter, mariè gave it to me during signing the papers, she told me to read it to you all without Amir and Amirah "
After I spoke that there was a thick silence in the room and I took it as my cue and opened the letter
To mon amour
Dominic
( to my love )
If you are reading this then I am probably dead and Amir and Amirah are with you I know you are probably angry , with me or guilty for what happened that day but don't beat yourself for it because I know the truth what happened then, but I had to leave , they threatened me to leave or they would have killed our sons and I couldn't let it happen, so I decided to leave I know it was stupid but that was all I could do to protect my sons , I left Spain and came to France I knew mariè could help me to cover my Identity, it was not easy at first but after 2 months
I found out I was pregnant, and i couldn't come to our family because I knew , we wouldn't be able to protect them from the lurking shadows that wanted to destroy our family, because I knew it was not just Amber who planned this all I knew there was someone else after us , someone with much power so I thought it's better to keep our youngest away from our world until it was safe for them , so i decided to do everything I could do to raise our kids and I want to tell you that, Amirah she is very smart but she can be a trouble sometimes, she is my little mouse , and if anything happens to her trust me , my ghost will haunt you forever and Amir is the sweetest boy but just like her twin can be alot to handle but he is my sunshine and I trust you with my whole heart to protect and love them immensely and tell them that I will always love them now , mon amour you are love of my life and always will be , you own my heart and no one can ever replace you , and even if I am not there I am in your heart always .
Je vous aime
Your wife Audra esme Valdez
(I love you )
I broke down into tears reading it , I couldn't believe she is not there with us anymore, she was my queen and always will be . I passed on the letter To Darius to continue reading it since I couldn't bring myself to speak anymore.
He got my hint and started reading it
To Darius
My little tiger I am sorry I was not there with you in your tough times but I know you will understand I had to do it for our family, but always remember I love you all equally with all my heart and I am so proud of all your achievements and I am sorry to keep you away from your youngest siblings but I had to , now I want you to always protect your younger siblings consider it as my last wish , specially Amirah she is just like you in so many ways , she has same stubborness as you havev, she always wants to do everything with perfection and just like you she can't tolerate any human interaction other then her family, but i know you will always be there to guide her I trust you with everything my son .
Te amo mi tigre
( I love you my tiger )
As he finished reading it, I could see the tears pooling into his eyes but he wiped them away , but I could see the determination in his eyes to keep all the promises that his mother asked him to fulfill
Darius passed on the letter To Azriel who understood the cue and started reading it .
To Azriel
My baby you were my sun in the darkest times your smile could lighten up the whole room , I am sorry I had to leave
You , but I know you will love all your siblings and take care of them even your father , promise me too keep our family together and help your siblings with your love and care especially your little sister
I love you mi sol
( my sun )
Unlike Darius after reading the letter Azriel didn't stopped his tears but instead he broke down and I went to hug him to calm him down as he passed the letter To Valentino who took it and read it
To Valentino
My little tino I know you are all grown up now but you will always be my baby , but always remember one thing baby whatever happened that day was not your fault , it's my last wish for you to never blame yourself for that incident and please open up to your youngest siblings , they can be difficult sometimes but trust me they will love you , please never push them away .
Your mama will always love you mi Tesoro.
Valentino took his mother's disaapreance more seriously than others he was always closer to her and he blamed himself throughout these years for her disappearance but now I think he will try to change because I know he will always keep his mother's last wish , he didn't gave any emotions but his eyes held all the pain and suffering he put himself throughout these years. And he passed the letter To twins and Augustin took it and read.
To my bebés pequeños
(Little babies)
I can't even explain how much it killed me to stay away from you and leave you when you were so young but I had to do it for you and your youngest siblings I know it must not have been easier for you , and trust me all I wanted was to be there with you but it wasn't in our fate , you both were the life of our home, my life but now you can understand why I had to do it and I know it would be difficult for you to understand all this but I know you will still love your youngest brother and sister , just be there for each other as you always are and also with your siblings.
I love you my bebés pequeños
After reading it Augustin was sobbing and Adrian also had tears falling from his eyes and they both embraced each other .
Then Azriel spoke " but wait what will we do about the funeral you know mother's family will not like us going to their territory " he has always been the logical one
" we'll handle it , it was mom's wish and we will fulfill it by any means " Darius spoke before I could say anything and others nodded with determination
And I couldn't ask for more , we maybe the tough and mysterious family but we love our family above anything .
" I just can't wait to spend time with our youngest siblings " Augustin spoke with mischievous glint in his eyes to break the silence
" you will not do anything reckless with them , I don't want you to envolve their innocent minds in your stupid pranks "
" Hey they are not stupid " Augustin pouted
" They are "
"They are not "
"Are "
"Are not "
"Are "
"Are "
" ha got you " Azriel exclaimed
" that's not fairrrr" Augustin screehed
" stop it , stay quiet Amir and Amirah are sleeping " Valentino grunted to all our surprise since he doesn't speak much and let alone hardly shows emotions
Before anyone could speak a soft voice came
"Too late " amirah grumbled from staircase now I know to never wake her up from her sleep but she looked so cute with those glasses but I could see her red cheeks and puffy eyes and it pained me to see her like that, I knew it would be difficult for her but I knew I would do anything to see a smile in her face
(Amirah ^^)
" ahh who was screeching like they lost their favorite candy " Amir spoke coming down and people we have another Augustin in our family now
"Ohh it was just Augustin " Adrian spoke totally amused by this situation
"Fuck off" Augustin said "language " Azriel scolded him before I could
" ohh what happened " Amirah asked confusingly
" ohhh nothing baby sis it was just Azriel being a meanie " Augustin spoke seriously
" I am not a baby " Amirah huffed with a glare to look intimidating but she looked like a cute puppy ahhh she already had me wrapped around her finger
" nu- huh you will always be our baby " Azriel spoke to which amirah mumbled some incoherent words under her breath while all of us watched her amusingly
I couldn't ask for anything else , I may have lost my wife but I still have my kids to protect and I will always protect them till my last breath
This is what feels like home seeing my kids bickering with each other may look annoying to others but this is what makes me feel like home the home me and Audra always imagined .
I am really sorry for this late update but I have my exams going on please bare with me for sometime :<)
Xoxo : joy
