I saw Conner's people taking out the dead bodies of my house and some maids cleaning up the blood from the floor.
Signing heavily, I went to my children's room. Opening the door, I saw dad playing with Rose and mom hugging Sebastian while she sang for him.
The sight warmed my heart as a small smile tugged my lips. I entered the room as mom slowly led Sebastian on his bed who was sleeping.
She came towards me and hugged me, tears in her eyes.
"I was so scared, Andrea. I am glad no one got hurt." He whispered as she pulled back wiping her eyes.
"Me too mom. Me too." I said giving her a small smile.
"Honey, come with me for a minute." Mom said to dad and wet outside the room. Dad nodded his head as he patted my head lovingly with a smile and followed mom outside.
Rose turned to me and gave me a beautiful smile, which melted my heart.
"Mommy" She called me.
"Yes, darling," I said as I sat next to her and kissed her head. I looked I her eyes, I can never forget her cries which I heard just a few minutes ago.
"I am so sorry baby, whatever happened was my fault. I love you, Rose." I said with a small smile as my eyes well up with tears.
"I love you too mommy." She said and hugged me while I hugged her back.
Suddenly the door opened and a very worried Jason came into the room. Clenched jaw, tense muscles, and loose tie around his neck were the proof that he knew what happen.
He looked at me almost examining me if I was hurt. Softly I shook my head to tell him that I was okay, to which he sighed and nodded his head.
"Daddy!" Rose ran in his arms as Jason took her in his arms hugging her. He went to Sebastian and kneeled in front of the bed. We stayed there in the same position for some time. He kissed Sebastian's forehead lovingly as Rose was still in his arms, her head on his shoulder and her eyes closed.
I carefully tucked her beside Sebastian and dropped a blanket around both of them. My babies were in danger today, because of me. Because of me, they were about to get hurt.
Jason wiped my tears taking my hand in his.
"Andrea baby, don't cry darling." He whispered, taking my hand in his he kissed my knuckles softly.
"Everything will be okay." He assured me looking in my eyes to which I gave him a soft smile and a nod.
Everything will be okay. Everything has to be okay.
I will make sure of it.

"What do you mean you dint find him, Conner?!" I shouted on the phone while pacing around the backyard.
"God! Don't shout Andrea. I have all my men doing only one job. That is to find uncle, Zac. I am trying." He said tiredly.
"Conner it's been almost two weeks. Two fucking weeks I am watching my back. Trying to keep my family safe and trying to not find a sense of fear or danger behind them."
"Andrea I am trying. I have searched all his private houses and destinations where he might have gone. But he is nowhere to be found. And it's not only him, but his few trusted men are also with him who has disappeared with him." he said sadly.
While I was going to reply, my phone started buzzing and I saw an unknown number flashing on my screen. I rejected the call but it started to buzz again.
"Conner, I will call you back in a few minutes," I said and ended the call. Receiving the unknown number, I frown as there was no sound coming from the other side.
"Hello?" I said with an irritated voice.
"Hello, Rea." a very familiar voice said.
Zac!
"How did you like my surprise a few weeks ago?" he said with a taunting voice and amazement laced in his tone. He was hinting at the incident that happen in the house two weeks ago when his men tried to take away my babies from me. anger took over my mind and I started breathing heavily.
"You fucking asshole! I am going to show you fucking hell! You fucking tried to take away my babies from me!" I shouted
"Oh darling, I suggest you watch your choice of words you use for me and the tone is unexpectable, Rea." He said calmly but I can hear his amazement in his voice.
It was useless to let the anger take over me, I should act smartly. I tried to calm myself by taking a few deep breaths.
"What do you want Zac?" I asked as calmly as possible.
"Well, let's see. I wanted you, Rea. But now, I want your children. A soul for a soul." He said and the last line made my calm attire jump off the window as fury took over me.
"Don't you fucking, dare Zac. And before you try to put the hands on my children, I might just cut them off."
"Oh of course you will, Rea. But I will make an offer to you. Either, you give your children willingly to me and I will spare your life or you all die. And by all, I mean you, your lover, his parents and of course your children. I am so tired of waiting at a place where it all started. I just want to take my revenge and finish everything. Once and for all. Make your decision, Rea." He said and the line went dead.
I was numb.

"What do you want to do now Rea?" Conner asked me. after the conversation with Zac, Conner called me and I told him everything. My head was hurting so badly as I was thinking of every possible way to take Zac down.
It was a mess in my head.
"I don't know, I just need some time to think and come up with something," I said sighing deeply.
"Alright, call me whenever you want to talk. Stay safe."
I wanted to kill Zac with my bare hands.
But that was not possible, I dint even know where he was. He wanted me to hand over my babies to him so that he can kill them? How insanely stupid of him even thinking about I would agree to that.
