This is what Kyle's Mansion looks like.
Kyle Redmond P.O.V.
Two weeks have passed.
It's been two weeks, since Paisley decided to give me chance.
Words are not enough to express my feelings about it. I just felt more lucky to have a woman with such a forgiving and pure heart as my wife.
Things have been better for us in the last two weeks.
Both of us have been fighting less, we still argue and disagree on many instances, though. Yet, we go out like a normal happy family with our boys, and try to spend as much time as we can together and work on the obstacles that still exist in our marriage.
Paisley, though still goes to work cause I can't have her suspecting anything. I helped her in packing all the things she will need in London. I asked her if I could have somebody design the twin's room to which she agreed.
Today is the day we are suppose to leave, I told Paisley to come with me in our private jet, but she refused saying that, if she had signed the contract she would travel the way all her other colleagues were travelling. So, I had to give into her demand half-heartedly.
Right now, I am about to leave New Jersey. I'll be leaving before the kids and Paisley, in order to check that everything is ready for them.
I followed my driver to the car as he took my luggage with him.
I came here empty handed, but now I am going back with more than I can ever want or need.
I sat calmly as the engine roared to life. After the wait of four long years, I have a contented genuine smile on my face.
Bringing me out of my thoughts was the ringing of my mobile, picking it up from the seat, I saw it was Luke Dawson calling me.
Anger flared inside me, making my blood boil, but I forced myself to stay under control and answer his phone. Afterall, I have taken away everything from him. I have Paisely, the kids and his firm in my hands. He is an empty handed man now! Smiling triumphantly I answerd.
"Well hello Dawson! To what do I owe this pleasure to have you calling me?" I said venom and sarcasm coating every word.
"Hello to you too Redmond!" He replied, his tone resembling mine.
"Why did you call me?" I asked impatiently.
"Oh! Paisley and you are back together right?" He said and I smirked.
"Of course, little bitch!" I answered smugly.
"Now, think will this last when she knows that, you are the owner of the firm she is coming to work for, and you approached her boss for it or that you are behind the stealing of my potential clients?" He said calmly making my eyes widen.
How does he even know all this!?
"How do you know about this?" I asked enraged.
"Well you aren't the only one who can hire a P.I. Right?" He mocked.
"Stop beating around the bush! Come to the point!" I spat.
"Impatient aren't we?" He said and chuckled.
"Just say it!" I almost yelled at him.
"Fine! I knew my clients were taken away by you excatly after five days I came back from Jersey. I didn't do anything about it because I will take action when Paisely is here.
When Paisely told me she has been offered to work in London by a firm, I instantly suspected it was you. My suspicion became even more strong, when she told me the firm didn't want to reveal their name till the contract between them was signed. I still couldn't take a chance so, I hired a P.I in Jersey to find out about the firm for me, and guess what? After my P.I offered a couple of dollars to Mr.Brown's secretary, she opened her mouth and reveled everything, every detail!
You are in deep shit, Redmond! After today you wouldn't have a peaceful life! Cherish your last days with Paisley and the twin's because after that, she will go back to hating you when she know's you tried to destroy mine and Mel's firm! Paisley and the kids will be with me! She will be where she belongs!" He said.
I felt like ripping his head off! How dare he say that my wife belongs to him!? He will f*cking pay for this!
"Listen to me, Dawson, and listen good! You might have found out about everything, but I am good at covering my tracks! Tell Paisley whatever you want, but she will not believe you! I will make sure of it! I have worked hard to get my family back, I will not have a f*cker like you take them away from me. I propose you a deal, I'll return you your clients, and you will leave Paisley and me alone! We all will be in peace and get what we want! What say?" I offered.
"You think I will give up Paisley just because of some clients? How dare you!? How dare you compare her with some clients of mine? Sure, they are important for me, but not more than Paisley! It's a shame, you could even think you could make a deal with me on this. This makes it very clear, that you still do not realise her worth! I will not have you treating her like some f*cking business deal! Keep it in mind Redmond!" He spat his voice lacing with venom.
His words words seemed to have knocked some sense into me. How could I even say something like that!? Sure, I am furious with his relevealtion, but still, offering him a deal which involves Pasiley isn't right. I am such a jerk! How could I even allow these words to escape my mouth!? Shaking my head I replied to him.
"Do not put your words in my mouth, Dawson! I never meant to say that and even you know it." I said.
"You only say what you think and mean, Redmond! It's a shame Paisley married you. But you are a master at playing with people's mind! She being the naive girl she is, fell into your trap. This time also I am sure you would have mentioned about Ryder and Noah again and again infront of her, which played the major role in her taking this decision. Anyways, once she will know about your cheap tricks to get her back, she will revert her actions!" He said.
"What I do to get my wife back is none of you concern! I did what was needed to be done! I do not need certification from you about my actions, keep it to your pathetic self. I will not let her find out about what I did, ever. I did not kill anyone, so it does not make a very big deal." I retorted.
"Hell! You are an impossible man! Anyways, I don't want to waste my time and energy anymore talking to a worthless peice of shit like you. I have already warned you. Watch your back!" He said and cut the call.
After Dawson disconnected the call I felt insecure. I felt insecure exactly the way I used to when me and Paisley were dating. I just hope nothing between us goes wrong.
If I lose her, I won't be able to handle it.
Paisley Redmond is mine and she always will be!
With this thought I got out of the car and walked towards my jet determined to never let Paisley leave me ever.
....................................
Paisley Redmond P.O.V
"Wake up babies." I cooed my boys who were still asleep. They have been sleeping an after we were airbone, now we have landed and they are still sleeping.
After my several attempts, they finally woke up.
"Are we in Englwand mommy?" Ryder asked excited.
"Yes, sweetie." I replied chuckling.
"Where is daddy mommy? We are going to his house, right?" Noah asked.
"He has already reached, baby, he isn't here right now with us, and we are going to his house most definitely." I told him.
"Then let's go!" He exclaimed excitedly and tried to get out of his seat but was restrained by the seatbelt.
"I am stuwck mommy! Help me!" Noah pouted.
"In a minute Noah." I told him and I heard Ryder calling him silly under his breath.
After we exited the plane and were done with collecting the luggage and security check, we walked out of the arrival gate, where me and my colleagues were suppose to meet.
"Paisley?" Somebody called and I turned around to see it was Mr.Brown.
"Yes Mr.Brown?" I replied with a smile.
When things started to get better between me and Kyle, I told Mr.Brown I wanted to stay with my husband in London, if the firm there wouldn't mind. Mr.Brown always knew about my situation with Kyle. Anyways, when he informed the firm about my decision, they agreed to it.
"So, all of us would now go to the places we have been provided to live in. Everybody has got a 4BHK apartment, but I will be staying in a hotel as I am only here for a short while. So, we will meet the owner of the firm tomorrow." He told me.
"Okay. But please tell me what firm it is atleast now." I whined.
"Patience, my child. We will know tomorrow." He chuckled.
"What's with all this suspense Mr.Brown? You aren't trying to get us all trapped or something right?" I teased him.
"Not at all! Wait till tomorrow and you will know." He said with a chuckle. "Now, we are leaving. Take care!" He said and walked away.
"Boo!" Somebody whispered in my ear snaking a hand around my waist making me yelp.
I turned around and saw it was Kyle. The boys who were till now standing sleepily, but into fits of laughter.
"Haha! Mommy looks scared!" Ryder said.
"Mommy is a little girl! Haha!" Noah teased me.
"Don't sneak up on my like that!" I fake scolded Kyle making him laugh.
"Hey! I mean it, this scares me!" I said.
"Okay fine! Now let's go!" He said and his driver grabbed our luggage.
"How was the flight? You must be tired." Spoke Kyle.
"Fine. I have never been a big fan of flying. I am exhausted!" I told him with a sigh.
"Boys, did you both sleep in the plane?" Kyle asked them.
They both nodded in reply.
"Did they trouble you in the flight?" He asked as we were walking towards the car .
"No, they slept an hour after we were airbone." I replied.
"That's good!" He said.
"Daddy how far away is your car?" Ryder asked him suddenly stopping in between making us all stop in between too.
"Yes, daddy, I don't want to walk more." Noah complained.
"It's a few minutes away." Kyle told them.
"I am not walking!" Noah said.
"Me too!" Ryder said and they both just stood like statues folding their hands.
I suppressed a giggle seeing them like this.
"Okay then. Let's do this!" Kyle said and suddenly lifted the boys into his arms making them squeal in excitement.
I laughed at his action and continued to walk with them.
Once we were all seated inside the car Kyle spoke.
"I have the twins room right across from our's." He said taking my hand in his.
Even though I was trying my best to give him another chance, I still couldn't convince myself to share a room with him. It might sound weird, but that's what it was.
So, I decided to just keep mum and nod.
..................................
"WELCOME HOME!" Kyle exclaimed opening the door and busting a party popper.
"Wow!!!!" The boys gasped in amazement looking around as we entered.
The house was a very spacious and huge one, with a staircase on the left side leading to two more floors and the terrace. The lobby, bar, living room, kitchen, Kyle's office and the dinning area were on the ground floor. Kyle and my old room on the first floor and with some spare rooms on the same including a storage. The second floor had a home threater, library, gaming room and three guest rooms. On the same floor was a swimming pool and gym. Then the last was the terrace.
I entered behind them and my eyes widened.
Everything was still the same. Exactly the way I designed it!
"Everything is still the same, baby." Kyle said as if reading my thoughts and planed a kiss on my temple.
"H-how? I m-mean why?" I asked him still not believing the fact that he didn't change anything.
"This was the only way I could feel your presence with me." He said honestly.
I gave him a small smile and walked ahead of him and followed the kids.
"Have you lived here mom?" Noah asked me still looking around the fancy mansion.
"I have, Noah." I told him.
"That's so much fun!" Noah exclaimed in excitement.
"Will we stay here always, mommy?" Ryder asked.
I was about to reply but Kyle cut me off.
"Yes, buddy. All of us will stay here together from now." Kyle told.
"Wow!!!" Ryder said doing some weird gestures to show his happiness.
"Let's go to the dinning area and get you people something to eat." Kyle said taking my hand in his and dragging me to the dinning area with him, as he instructed the boys to follow us.
We reached the dinning area and tears pricked my eyelids. This is excatly the place where I was crushed, where my soul was brutally murdered by my beloved husband.
I chose to blink back my tears to avoid any kind of breakdown infront of my kids. I have to stand strong for them, I can't be weak and let the horrific memories from the past get to my head.
"Love, are you okay?" Kyle asked gently shaking me, forcing me to snap out of my thoughts of the past.
"Yeah-yeah. Why would you ask that?" I asked getting out of my daze.
"I called you like five times and you completely zoned out. Are you feeling well?" He asked looking concerned.
"Yes. Yes I am fine." I replied not with much emotions and walked to the kids to help them sit in their high chairs.
Kyle already has everything arranged that will be needed for the boys.
I made them sit and was turned around by someone, that someone for sure being Kyle.
"You were thinking about that day weren't you?" He stated more than asking, pulling me away from the boys.
"N-no." I replied way too quick.
"The glistening tears in your eyes says it all, Paisley. Look at yourself, you look lost!" He said hurt.
I kept quiet and let him speak.
"Look, I have told you ample number of times that I am sorry! Then why can't you just forget it!? Why do you keep remembering all that, time and again?" He asked irritated, which angered me.
"I am not a computer, Kyle! I am not a machine who can delete everything in just a click! It will take time, I am trying really hard here. You have to atleast give me sometime and space to forget about it! Be a bit patient, please!" I told him annoyed with his impatient attitude.
"How will we move on if you are not ready to forget everything, Paisley?" He shot back.
"Who said I wasn't ready to move on!? Don't put your words in my mouth! All I want is, for you to be a little patient with me. Is that too much to ask for, Kyle? I have come here on my own, I won't back away now. You just have show some acceptance to my emotions. Can you do that?" I tried to explain things to him to avoid further conflict.
He closed his eyes took a deep breath and replied "Yes. Yes, I can. I am sorry for being so impatient! Please don't be mad at me." He said holding my hands in his large one.
I nodded my head and gave him a forced smile.
"Come on let's get you something to eat. You must be starving!" He said and together we walked backed to where the boys were.
...................................
After eating a hearty meal made by Kyle because he had given the house staff an off to avoid any interruption, while all four of us would spend a day together and settle in. I came back to my and Kyle's old bedroom to take a shower.
Till that time Kyle suggested he would give the boys a bath and put them off to sleep.
I came out of the bathroom fully dressed drying my wet hair with a towel.
"Hey babe!" Kyle said walking inside the room.
"Hey." I replied.
"They gave me a tough time making them fall asleep." He huffed and sat down on the couch with a thump.
"I warned you!" I said chucking.
"Um.. Paisley?" He called for my attention walking in my direction.
"Yes?" I said turning around and saw he was at arms length.
"I want to tell you something about the firm you are gonna work for." He said and brought me close to him.
"Yeah... sure?" I said and it sounded like a question.
"Okay. You see the firm you are going to work for, is owned by......" Kyle was saying something but stopped when my phone stated ringing.
"Just a mintue. I'll see who it is." I said a walked towards the night stand where my mobile was placed.
I picked up my phone and saw it was Luke calling me. I almost squealed in excitement, I haven't talked to him the morning after the twin's birthday.
"Who is it?" Kyle asked.
"Luke." I replied and lifted the call and Kyle walked out of the room slamming the door shut in the process, making me frown.
"Hey Lukey boy!" I answered.
"Hey Paisley!" Luke greeted me from the other line.
"How are you?" I said.
"I am fine! But you didn't even bother telling me that you arrived here in London this morning." He complained.
"I am sorry about that, Luke." I answered honestly.
"Well your are forgiven, if you tell me where are you living. I wanna come see you and the boys." He said and the nerverousness started to kick in. I haven't told any of the boys that me and Kyle are back together. Surely, Luke will completely loose his mind.
"I uh.. um... Luke look don't freak out, but I am living with Kyle." I told him.
"WHAT THE F*CK! What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you living with that sccumbag?" He almost yelled.
"I am really sorry for not telling you about it." I said honestly.
"Well, then tell me, NOW!" He ordered.
"It's a long story! I will tell you everything once we meet." I promised him.
"And I have all the time in this world to listen what led to your reckless decision. Start now!" He demanded.
Exactly after 40 minutes I finished telling him everything about the day Kyle and I had the talk that led me to give him a chance.
"So, that's how it happened." I said.
"God tiger! That's seems like alot to handle." He sighed.
"But something in me said I had to give him a chance. I felt he was being completely honest." I told Luke.
"Even I feel the same. I feel that he is really very guilty. It's good you decided to give him another chance." He said shocking me completely.
"What!?" I asked shocked not able to believe the fact that Luke was saying this. He has been against Kyle since the night he threw me out of the house.
"Yes. I know this might surprise you, but if he is willing to improve for you and the boys, he deserves a chance." He said.
"So, you aren't angry?"Â I asked.
"I am! Of course, I am, but I feel that you have the right to make a decision for yourself. I know the choice you made will prove to be beneficial for you and the twin's." Like said.
"You have no idea how relieved I am to hear this!" I said with a sigh.
"I am not always rational you know, I have an emotional streak as well." He joked.
"Haha. True that! How is your firm doing anyways?" I asked.
"It's getting back on track! I will get my clients back very soon." He said.
"Any idea who did it?" I asked curious.
"I think it's one of my rivals." He replied.
"Who all are your rivals?" I asked.
"Well all those lawyers who own the biggest firm in England." Luke answered.
"Oh!" I said.
"Well, I gotta go now. I have some work to catch up on." He said.
"Sure. Take care!" I said.
"You too. We'll meet soon." He said.
"Sure thing!" I said and cut the call.
After my call with Luke ended, I got up and started unpacking.
.........................................
Hey Babies!
Oh! Luke already knows everything about Kyle's scheme.
Kyle being was being very impatient with Paisley I think, do you people also agree?
Somebody messaged me and asked why did Melssia and Erica encouraged Paisley to give Kyle a chance despite of them being aware of Luke's feelings?
So, the answer to your question is even though they are aware of Luke's feelings about Paisley, they are being absolutely unbiased in giving her their advise. They do feel bad about doing that to Luke, but their friend has suffered more and deserves some peace at last.
If anybody has any question please feel free to approach me. I'll be more than glad to answer them:D
Please share your opinions with me about the chapter and the story.
I hope you liked it.

Until next time:)
