"So you were the bastard who raped her?!"He scoffed."She was mine!She is still mine!I claimed her as mine when she was a kid!She has been mine for the past 8 years!"

I turned to Sorin."Dagger,this is between him and I.This has nothing to do with you.Take your fucking toddlers and leave.I don't care at this point!"

I knew he knew that I was lying my ass off.He looked at Caliban."She is mine."What Caliban said shook my to my core.

"No she isn't...brother."

I scoffed."Brother?"Caliban looked at Sorin."I think he couldn't find the courage to tell you while you were in a coma.But uh...Birdie,Mr.Dagger would be my twin brother.Not identical,clearly."

I turned back to Sorin."So you two..."I turned back to Caliban."So you are..."Caliban laughed."You clearly have a thing for Einars,Birdie.Nothing to be ashamed of."

Caliban pulled me to himself."You kept your promise."I nodded."I'm a woman of my word.As promised,right after I turned sixteen."My low whisper must've turned him on.

He pulled my hips and gripped them tightly against his."See what you did now?"I nodded."You're going to have to pay for this,mami."

I smirked as he started smirking."Oh,papi,this isn't even the tip of the iceberg."This is my worst nightmare but...I need to do this for my kids.

He leaned to my ear and said something I never expected to hear from him.

"I know I was rought at first but...It was only because I wanted you to be mine.I took your first time forcefully.I wanted to be your first.Now,you're completely mine and I am loving it."

His voice was genuine.How sick could he get?!But I had to play along.

"It's ok.I forgive you."He leaned and kissed me.He broke it off before it got too much and rested my head on his chest.His hand on my head and his arm wrapped around my body,he turned to Sorin.

"I got what I wanted.You can take your whiny toddlers."I looked Sorin in the eye and blinked once with both of my eyes.However,he didn't look like he was convinced.

I knew he didn't want to leave me behind but he has no other choice."What are you waiting for,brother?Leave."

"I'm not leaving without her!"I rolled my eyes and started whispering."Papi,let me talk to him."

He looked down at me."Promise me you'll come back.This is your home,Birdie,never forget that."I nodded."I promise."I turned to Trent and Buzz.

"Help Mr.Einar get his kids to  his car."We all came downstairs and I got to see them all four.They were all safe.I turned to Sorin."You're leaving."

"I'm not leaving you behind Lavender."I shook my head."You have no other choice!You need to leave!For our children!And never,I mean never,stop reminding them how much I love them."

His eyes widened."You're going to come back!"I stepped away."I'm not sure I'll be able to.God,I can't even believe that you are related to Caliban!"

"I cannot believe you woke up from your coma!I cannot believe that you heard me while you were in a coma!"I sighed."I heard and I felt everything!"

I sniffed.

"Sorin,I woke up because I forgave you!I woke up because I heard you.I woke up because I had to save my kids.I woke up for you!For you,Sorin Zathrian Einar!Because I fucking love you."

A few tears fell from him eyes."Then come with me.Come with us!Don't leave us!Don't fucking leave me."I shook my head."I'm the ticket for your safety and theirs.It's ok.I've come to terms with it."

"Staying with the guy who assulted you?!Raped you?!Used you?!Hit you?!How could you come to terms with that?!"

I can't.But I have to act like I do.For our kids.For him.

"I'm sorry,woods.Just...I love you all.And...I love you."

I turned around and went back in.Caliban was still waiting for me."Took you long enough.""He said a few hurtful things and...He tried to get me to leave with him but...I said no."

"That's my good girl.Come here,mami."When I went over to him,I realised that he wouldn't hurt me unless I disobeyed him.Right now,he got me where he wanted.

"Why did you come back,Birdie?You should be mad at me."I sighed."This is our Den,Cal.We built this place.Within a few months,remember?"He nodded.

"You were always so fragile.I can't wait to break you more."I got out of his neck as he was pressing my entire body against his."Break me more?I'm still broken,Cal.Don't."

I wasn't lying anymore.He tucked my hair behind my ear."Then I'll shatter you."I shook my head."Your twin handled that part.There is nothing left of me other than dust."

He leaned into my ear and kissed the behind of it.His kisses trailed down to my jawline then to my neck and to my collar bone.Then he came up to my lips and whispered.

"Then I'll re-make you,princess."

Now,I was scared.No,I was terrified!

≪ Sorin's POV ≫

I cannot believe anything I just witnessed!

1)My twin brother turned out to be Raven's first.

2)Raven just got out of her coma.

3)Raven just saved our kids when I couldn't do it in a month.

4)Raven told me to leave her behind to save our children and me!

I can't list any longer or I'll lose my mind and drive this car into a building or something.I can't do that when all of my kids are at the back seat.No,I won't do it.

Soon,I came back to the hangar.Xan was waiting there and I got out of the car."You will never believe what just happened!Raven woke up!She threatened the guards but-"

I cut him off.

"She saved our kids,Xan.And she told me to leave her behind.Now,she is in his hands and she's staying because she's scared what he'll do to me and our kids.So,yeah,I know.I know she woke up."

He looked at me with pure shock in his eyes."Kids are at the back,asleep.So get the guards to take them to the jet.I need a smoke."He nodded and I took out one of my slim puro cigars.

Just when I was about to light my second one,Xan came and told me that the jet was ready to leave.

I focused on our kids for now.I will come back here for her.

We came back to LA and then I got the kids to their rooms in the manor.Next morning was hell.Kids woke up screaming in the middle of the night.

Thank God,I was sitting on the floor outside their bedroom door.I rushed inside and they saw me.

"DADDY!"They jumped at my neck and I felt like burning down the entire world for a single tear they shed!

"Shhh...You're safe!Mommy saved you.You'll never have to be in a situation like that ever again!"They backed away after a while."Where is mommy?!"I sighed.

"She..."How was I going to say it?They're just kids regardless of their policy with their mother.Raven had this full honesty policy.I can't break it.I'll just...have to abide by it.

They nodded."Daddy?Did something happened to mommy?!"I shook my head."Mommy was shot the day that guy took you all.But she woke up and...Turns out,she heard me."

"Heard you?!"I nodded."She was in...a coma.Doctors said that she wouldn't be able to hear me.But I talked to her.The day she woke up,she heard me tell her that you guys had gone missing."

"Mommy woke up to save us?"I nodded."And to save you,she sacrificed herself.I got you but I had to leave her behind."Asher sighed."Daddy?""Yes,buddy?"

"Are you taking your revenge on mommy for leaving you?Because,we really missed her."I hugged them both."Whatever your mommy may have done,I would never hurt her.I love her."

I really love her...

More than anything else in the entire universe.
