Chapter 420

Chapter 420:

There was a momentary pause. “What I did to you… I’d never done it to anyone, Lyric, and I hate myself for it. I saw you as someone who was weak, vulnerable, and easy to deceive. And I didn’t think for one second that the kids would turn out to belong to the very man Marta was trying to impress. It’s all just one… messed-up string p>

I didn’t realize I’d plonked myself onto the edge of the bed, my fingers nervously gripping the sheets. “Wait,” I swallowed hard. “Are you trying to tell me that the kids currently with Marta belong to… belong to p>

I couldn’t even get the words out, my panic too much for that.

“You’re right, Lyric. Xylon and Xyla are yours p>

My eyes grew wider than their capacity as I gasped. By the hunts! Xyla and Xylon were mine!? The whole time, they were mine and I had no idea p>

My head spun from the information, my memories spinning in a jumble. I remembered the first day I met them—the instant connection and likeness I developed for them. I remembered how easy it was for them to get comfortable around me, too.

It suddenly made sense why Marta was always trying to separate me from them. She knew. She knew they were mine, yet she forced us apart!

“Lyric, I’m so sorry,” Penelope said as I wept. “I shouldn’t have taken them from you. It’s a mistake I’ll keep regretting for the rest of my life p>

“Oh, I hope you more than regret it, Penelope,” I sniffled, rising to my feet. “How could you do this to me? I trusted you, yet you didn’t even think twice before selling my kids to someone who only saw them as tools to win a man’s heart. I hope you suffer beyond recovery. I wish for more harmful things to come your way p>

“Lyric p>

My battery went off before either of us could say anything more.

I screamed as I tossed the phone onto the bed, then fell onto the mattress where I wept harder.

They were mine. The kids were mine.

Oh, gods, I needed to get out of here. I needed to go take my babies from that evil witch. I had to leave this place!

I was mostly staring out the window and saw when Caden drove out of the house. I quickly cooked up a plan, knowing it’d be easier to escape if he wasn’t around.

I knocked repeatedly on the door until someone angrily opened it.

“What is it p>

“I’m—I’m hungry. Could you get me something to eat p>

He gave me a head-to-toe glare, as if displeased that he had to follow my order.

“I’ll be back.” He held the knob to close the door.

I didn’t give him the chance as I reached out, grabbing his wrist.

“What’re you—” His statement was left unfinished as my powers started working on him.
