His Worst Mistake

Mummy's throwing up!

Margot woke up to a splitting headache. 

She knew she was not going to be able to go to work in her state. There was no way she could concentrate in this condition.

She texted Knox and Grayson to let them know of her condition before retreating into her duvet. she trusted Grayson to deal with and send the boys to school. She honestly did not want her sleep disturbed so she turned her phone off.

Soon sleep carried Margot into her dreams.

"H-hello" Troy greeted the older man who was now looking down at him condescendingly. 

The man did not respond but moved out of the way for Troy to enter the house. 

As soon as Troy padded into the house, two blond boys ran towards him. 

"Mr Troyyyy" the two boys yelled.

Troy ruffled the boys' locks and then followed them into the lounge.

"Margot's a bit ill so she won't be joining you guys today."  A gruff voice said flatly.

Troy looked up to see Grayson stood, leaning by the door.

"Ah...I hope she's o-okay" Troy said

"She will be. You can take the boys out....or not. My men will follow" Grayson offered the man.

"Mr Troyyyyy can we go to the place with trampolines?!" Theo chirped out, looking up at Troy with anticipation.

Troy gave an awkward chuckle and then looked at Grayson. "Guess I'll be taking them out" Troy replied.

"YESSSS" Matt yelled before running up to his room with his brother not far behind him. 

"I better get to them" Troy said as he walked past Grayson and towards the boy's room.

Getting the boys ready and packing necessities was not too hard for Troy. He could at least do that. He did stumble at first but the boys giggled and told him things he failed to do or things he did that he was not supposed to.

Soon the three 'men' were out and into a car. Troy settled the boys into their chairs in his car and then jogged to the driver's side of the car.

"I want them back by 7" Grayson told the man, his tone and expression bland.

"Ah yes. Definitely" Troy replied to the man.

Grayson stared at the car that drove out of the property. He had conflicted feelings on the decision his sister had made.

Knox stepped into Margot's dark room. The woman had closed her blinds and retreated into her duvet, forming a little mound on the large bed. 

Knox walked towards her and then dropped the pharmacy bag in his hands onto the side table.

Pulling the covers down, Knox felt at Margot's forehead. It was hot.

Knox turned around and felt for a thermometer in the bag he carried, finding the instrument, he pulled it out of the bag and then placed the tip into her ear. 

*beep beep beep* 

Knox took a  look at the device after it beeped to signal it was ready. '39.6' Knox read in his mind.

Knox sighed and then dropped the device onto the side table. Reaching into the paper bag once more, Knox pulled out some fever reducer patches.

He used some alcohol wiped to wipe and dry Margot's forehead. Removing the protective coat of the patch, he carefully placed the patch onto Margot's forehead. 

Margot moaned and shifted in her sleep when the patch touched her forehead. 

Knox chuckled to himself.

He cleared up his mess and then neatly placed the bag onto the desk. He knew Margot would not wake up until she was ready to. He would force her to eat then. Knox turned to leave when he received a notification.

Sis: Urgent meeting now!

Knox sighed and then slipped his phone back into his pocket. He guessed he would have to tell Grayson to force Margot to eat when she woke up.

Knox turned on his heels and made his way towards Margot's bed once more. 

Bending, he lifted her head towards him by her nape and then placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Margot seemed to sense the man and she wrapped her hands around him in a hug. Knox chuckled as he settled her back under the covers.

"See you later Margogator." Knox said softly before turning to leave the room.

Troy had returned way before the stipulated time given to him by Grayson. He had dropped the boys off and they had managed to doze off beside each other on the couch. Troy decided to leave them alone. 

He lounged on the sofa trying towork on his phone when Matt moaned in his sleep.

Troy got up and went to take a look at the boys.

"Hey bud...what's wrong??" Troy asked with a concerned expression when he saw the boy's pained expression.

"Mr Troy?" Matt called out weakly, still half asleep.

"Yeah it's me bud...you okay?" Troy said softly scooping the boy who made grabby hands at him into his arms.

"I dreamt mummy was throwing up and being sick all over" Theo cried and Troy was stunned.

Troy rocked the boy to settle him and soon the boy went back to sleep. As soon as Troy placed the boy down beside his brother, Troy decided to at least check up on the woman.

Troy walked u the stairs. Coming up tot he first floor, he was four names on the wall in front of him. Walking towards the direction the arrow with Margot's name pointed, Troy spotted Margot's door.

The man saw the door was slightly ajar.

He quietly peeked into the room.

Margot was in the arms of Knox, he was bent over and Margot had her arms around his neck. 

Troy felt his entire body buzz. He felt sick and his chest hurt. He had a very anxious feeling in his belly. 

Jealousy. 

Troy clenched his fists as his chest hurt beyond what he could control.

His legs buckled and he itched to walk forward to separate the two in front of him. 

Troy unclenched his fists in defeat.

"What was I thinking in believing she'd have forgiven an incomplete and broken man like me?' Troy thought before turning to leave.

Troy kissed both boys on their foreheads before turning to leave.

Troy quietly left the property without looking back once. He was numb, the cold feeling in his heart freezing his entire senses over.

A/N:

Do we all remember when Astrid you know...gave pictures of her and Troy to Margot?
