Ximena's

POV

He stared at me obviously trying to watch my facial expression closely. My question must have caught him off guard and he seem startled, I wrapped my hands beneath my chest waiting for him to talk. "Where did you go? Which pack did you stay last night?" He inquired worriedly and I arched my brow at him.

"That is not the answer to my question. I asked you why you lied to me. What has my question have to do with the pack I stayed in?" I replied.

"You regained your memories right?" He asked and that sounds so ridiculous, I don't think that is what he is supposed to be asking except he is guilty of something.

"Don't try to stall by asking me questions Cole. I know about everything. You knew all this while who I truly was and yet you never said anything, despite pleading with you several times to help me out. How could you play me for a fool?" I inquired my voice triggered and I felt pain coursing through me.

"You went to New Dawn pack right? That was where your patient was," he asked.

"Yes, that was where I went yesterday since you are so eager to hear me say it. You must already know that's where I'm from, don't you?" I asked.

"I did it for you Ximena. When I found out about who you really were, I couldn't bring myself to tell you on your hospital bed...

"Wait a minute, you knew since six years ago and you never breathed a word about it? Here I was thinking that you might have just found out recently. You must have had such a good laugh at my expense about how stupid you thought I was," I muttered in shock. Who was this man? I never thought a day like this would ever come. I regarded him as my friend. I took pride in the fact that he was my family and would never do anything to hurt me.

He knew how tormented I was about not knowing anything about myself. I had felt like an empty vessel who had to constantly think of what she might like and what she might hate. I had such a hard time coping.

"Ximena, how can you speak like that? I never meant for you to feel stupid. I was doing it for your own sake. You had gone through so much and I thought it would be better for you to begin anew and have a fresh start...,"

"You had no right to take that decision for me! I was an adult and I could have made my own decisions. I probably would have still agreed to stay with you and Father. I'm not upset about missing anything from my past. What is really making me upset is the fact that you looked at me straight in the face for the past six years and spewed lies upon lies," I yelled at him furiously.

"What the hell was I supposed to do Ximena? I did it for your sake," he replied.

"Tell me the truth, that was the only right thing to do, and stop saying you did it for my sake because you didn't," I retorted.

"So what now? You remembered your mates so you are just going to waltz back into their life like nothing happened? They tormented you so much Ximena, you want to go back to them?" he replied angrily.

"This has nothing to do with Julian, Philip, or Alex. This is between the both of us," I replied.

"You think I'm dumb? Despite losing your memory, you still call their names in your sleep despite being unconscious. You are only angry because I didn't tell you about them sooner. Wake up Ximena, they didn't want you then and they still don't now," he said. The next thing I knew was I had raised my hand and given him a resounding slap. It happened in the blink of an eye and I was fuming with anger. I didn't regret my actions though. To think he was justifying what he did by bringing the triplets up. He stared at me in shock.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect you," he pleaded.

"But you did anyway. I can't believe you are the same Cole I've always known," I muttered shaking my head in disappointment.

"I've always been here Ximena. Watching you from the sidelines. I stuck to you like glue despite what other people said. I showed you how much I deeply cared for you so many times and I'm sure you know why I did all that," he said gently.

I knew exactly what he was about to say. That he loved me. He didn't need to say it in plain words before I knew what he was talking about.

"Contrary to what you believe, I never did anything with the intent of hurting you. I thought I was doing the right thing back then and I will still do the same thing if we were to be in the same situation again. I know you still have feelings for your mates and you want to get back together with them..."

"So, you think I can't live without any support in my life?" I asked.

"What? No, I never said...,"

"Get out," I ordered.

"That's it? You just want me to leave without us resolving this misunderstanding?" he inquired.

"There's no misunderstanding here. You lied to me about my entire life and I found out. Get out right now," I fumed. They were all wrong if they thought they could all continue taking me as a fool and I would just sit back and watch.

"Ximena, hear me out..."

"He lied to us and he deserves to suffer the consequences. Let's end him," Freya growled.

"Get out!" I growled angrily cutting him off. He stared at me in shock.

"Mummy, daddy? Why are you fighting? We could hear your voices from our rooms," I heard Madison mutter nervously. I quickly snapped back to my senses. I was so consumed with rage that I didn't notice the door was open and the kids had entered. Mason stared at us curiously while Madison looked nervous. My anger was immediately satiated. "Since when have you both been here?" I asked softly.

"Since we heard you both yelling at each other. What's going on?" Mason inquired.

"You both have never gotten into any fights before. Please don't fight. We don't like it," Madison pleaded tearfully. I stood frozen in shock not knowing what to do or say. I was sure if I spoke up right now, I would only end up bursting into tears. I was in pain whenever my kids were in pain.

"Hey princess, don't cry. Your mummy and I were definitely not fighting," Cole walked towards them with a smile.

"You were. You and Mummy were yelling at each other. We heard everything. Mummy said you lied to her. What did you lie about?" Mason asked.

"Your mummy and I are adults and adults are allowed to have a disagreement on one or two things. It's really nothing serious. Don't worry," he consoled them.

"Okay, if you say so," they agreed with him.

"Good. I need to leave now kids. I got a call from the office, there's an urgent work I need to get to," he lied.

"Do you really need to leave? You can just skip it, you are the big boss after all," Madison said. Cole chuckled.

"I wish I could but I can't. I really need to leave. I will see you when I get back," he replied. They both nodded reluctantly. He hugged them before he stood up. He stood for a while and I knew he wanted to look back at me but he headed towards the door and left. The kids both walked up to me and we all took our seats on the bed.

What I was about to say might have sounded a bit harsh but it needed to be done. I don't want an instance whereby they grow too attached to Cole and when he leaves one day, they get heartbroken. I don't want my kids to get hurt.

"You do know Cole is not your real daddy right?" I asked skeptically.

"We do know that. Are you asking because you both had a fight? Are we never going to see him again?" Madison asked.

"No, of course not. You can see him for as long as you want. I just want you kids to understand that Cole might get married someday and move out," I replied.

"Why can't you just marry him instead? That way, he won't have to move away," Mason said.

"Things don't work like that sweetheart but regardless of anything that might happen, you have your mummy. I will always be with you both," I said and pulled them both into a hug. "We will be fine," I mumbled silently.
