“Edward.” Mary whispered softly as if she was still trying to process what she just found out.
“No, you got it all wrong. This is Hawk Andrews standing right before you. I don’t know how he deceived you successfully. Is it the change of his looks, without and with those camouflages. He still remains Hawk Andrews. Anyway I am glad he deceived you, I have been trying to make use of these facts since I found out about it, didn’t think I will be able to make use of it so soon.”
“Where are my kids?” I asked, facing Taylor. If she brought Mary here against her will, then where are the twins.
“Do you think I am going to kidnap them or something?” Taylor asked snickering loudly.
Before I could say another word to her, two toddlers ran inside with a bulky man behind them.
“Biden, I thought I told you to take the kids away.” Taylor shouted at the man.
“Daddy, I’m scared.” Tiffany said, running into my arms.
“The bad guy wants to get us,”Bryan said, sniffing as he buried his face into my legs as he held on tightly to my pants.
I realized what was about to happen, Taylor was about to use my kids as baits for her own benefits.
“Get out of my office Taylor, I want you to leave right now or you will regret it forever.” I gritted out through my teeth.
“This isn’t over Hawk Andrews. I will be back. Mark my words and hear me clearly. I will be back.” Taylor said with confidence oozing out of her, she exited my office and the bulky man followed behind her.
“So I was being deceived all along, do you have any idea of what you did to me. What do you think you are going to gain by playing Mr Nice for years?” Mary said, breaking the silence.
“I wonder why you went this far to hiding your identity, you wanted me to fall in love with you…” She drawled out sardonically.
“If I had told you, you would have cut all ties with me and stayed far away from me. I won’t have gone far with you if I had showed up as Hawk Andrews. All I ask is for your forgiveness, please don’t think about how I hurt you, instead think of the way I have showered my love to you.” I pleaded, hoping she won’t break up with me right now.
The look of disgust on her face could not be ignored.
“You are a fu*king rapist Hawk Andrews.”
“Yes, you are messed up! Really messed up and you need therapy. I also need therapy thanks to you. You being molested at a young age doesn’t justify your actions, it really doesn’t change the fact that you are a rapist. Should I also molest people sexually because I was raped. This will all have to end. It ends with me. I fell in love with Edward Jones and not Hawk Andrews.”
“We can make things work, I promise I have changed. I am not the Hawk Andrews you used to know, I am a different person.” I rushed out.
“Do I need to remind you of what you made me do in the past and what you did to me. You turned me into a stripper, blackmailed me with my sex video, called me names, stole my virginity for me. How do you expect me to let all these things go and be with you, just like that.” She yelled frustratedly.
The kids were still here and they were looking scared. I wanted to tell her to stop yelling, but it seems like her emotions has gotten hold of her. I know I just have to convince Mary that she and the twins were the only family I have right now.
“I am sorry Mary, I will do anything to make you forgive me. I just want us to be together as a family. Please let’s get married, forget about the past and let’s move on. We can go somewhere far where no one will find us. I love you so much that my heart hurts. Please give me a second chance.” I said, whispering the last part.
“I love you as the sweet nice Edward, not the mean evil Hawk Andrews. Even if I forgive you Hawk, I can’t marry you. The memories of all you did to me can’t be buried. Both of us can’t work out as a family. You as a rapist and I as the victim, absolutely No! because these memories still lives in me. I can’t give you a second chance. Loving you or getting married to you can’t change the fact that you are my rapist. I am sorry but I can’t be with you.”
Her words broke my heart into tiny pieces. I don’t think my heart can be patched up again. She literally just said No to me. And I don’t blame her, memories of me taking her with force flashed through my mind and I felt a shoot of pain in my heart.
“Alright Mary, I’m going to give you two choices. One; I let you go but I will take full custody of my kids, the both of them.”
“What!” She exclaimed, cutting me off. “You can’t do that to me,” She added, looking furious.
“And two; You go far away with me and live with me for a period of five years and if you still want me to let you go after the five year ends. I will do that willingly.”
“Is this a Bargain or a trap?” She asked, scoffing.
“Call it whatever you want, just pick one, we are going to sign a legal contract afterwards. I am going to make my lawyer draft it.”
