Leap OF Fate

Chapter 78

Serene watched as the cars outside her studio left one after the other. She breathed a sigh of relief

when the shadow of the last car left her line of sight.

The day she had been dreading for finally came. Justin learned about her children. She had played

various scenarios of this day in her head for the past five years, but she never imagined that it would be

the same day she’d learn he’s already getting married.

Fiancé. The word rang in her ears in a loop. The thought that he’s marrying another person bothered

her. Once upon a time, she dreamed of becoming Mrs. Justin Rain, but Fate had other plans for them.

They’re just meant to be part of each other’s journey, but never their ending. She smiled bitterly at the

thought. She sighed one more time. Now that he’s finally moved on, I think there’s no need to jump

through hoops to keep her children under the radar.

Her eyes darted at the two preschoolers playing in the playpen. Her daughter climbed up the indoor

climbing wall while her son sat quietly in a corner flipping through a book. She smiled. For as long as

she had them, she’d be good.

She went down the stairs leading up to her studio.

“Ahh!” she let a tiny scream when she saw Justin sitting cross-legged on her couch. Didn’t he leave

already?

Clutching her chest, she felt the violent beating of her heart. “What are you doing here? Didn’t you

leave already?” she asked.

He scanned her. Taking in her image fully. She gained some weight, and her hips were a little wider.

However, they complimented her. She looked alluring.

“I came back. I wanted to ask you something,” he said, standing up from the couch and taking a few

steps closer to her.

Serene felt a little panicked and backed away from him. She took one step back for every step forward

he took until her back hit the shelf and she could not back up anymore.

He stopped when he was directly in front of her. The familiar floral scent she wore wafted and tickled

his nose. His eyes scanned every feature of the face he missed for so long.

Serene swallowed hard, her eyes not knowing where to look. He’s too close to her. She could feel his

breaths on her forehead. His fresh masculine scent floated to her nose. She reminded herself to not

throw herself at him.

“What did you want to ask?” she inquired, then side-stepped to escape from him.

“I want my children,” he no longer minced words and stated his purpose.

Serene let out a hollow laugh and looked at him with her brows arched up, “Your children?” She looked

him up and down and continued, “You don’t have children here, Mr. Rain.”

“What did you say?” Serene’s response took him aback. How could she say that? From NôvelDrama.Org.

“You heard me right, Mr. Rain. You have no children here. Those two up there, they’re not yours,” she

firmly said. Her eyes met Justin’s. She did not back down from his murderous stares.

“Didn’t you see them properly? How could you say they’re not mine when they look exactly like me?”

His voice sounded impatient as he stated his point.

“Many people look the same, but not all of them are related. I assure you, Mr. Rain, my children had

nothing to do with you.”

Justin swore under her breath. Clearly, Serene’s making it difficult for him.

“Serene, I did you wrong and I am sorry for that. I regret not believing you. It’s my biggest mistake. I’ll

make it up to you, please. I have been waiting for this moment for the past five years. Please, give me

a chance to know them,” Justin pleaded. His desperate eyes looked at her.

“Mr. Rain, what happened between us five years ago, was over. You learned your lesson and I’ve

learned mine. Those had nothing to do with my children.

You’re about to be married. If you wanted to have children so much, I think that it’s Ms. Smith you

should pester and not me and my kids.” she said, her eyes emotionless.

The joints of Justin’s clenched fists popped at her words. Not only did she not want him to be a part of

his children’s lives, she also pushed him towards another woman. Did she really want him to be

married to Crystal? He gritted his teeth at the thought.

Serene walked to the door and opened it.

“Please, Mr. Rain,” she gestured towards the door.

Justin walked towards Serene with angry strides. Serene inwardly panicked at the sight of him. He

looked like an angry bull charging, ready to butt its horns at the enemy. She’s the enemy.

Instead of going out of the opened door, Justin grabbed Serene’s arm. “I am taking everything that’s

mine.” His nose flared as he looked down on her, his chest heaved up and down, and his Adam’s apple

bobbed from his throat.

Serene unconsciously swallowed and wet her parched mouth. Justin looked ferocious.

He was not prepared for her actions. Seeing her lick her tongue wet elicited a different emotion in him.

Desire replaced his anger. His mouth crushed with hers without a warning. He felt her clench her lips

tight and her arms pushing him away.

These added to his anger, and his kisses became more demanding. His hand applied pressure to her

jaws. She did not have a choice but to open them. His tongue hungrily explored her mouth. They were

breathless when he let her go. His furious eyes burned into her then he said, “That includes you!”

He let her go and went out of the door, leaving Serene panting for air. Her heart raced in her chest out

of fear.

A solitary tear fell from her eyes. Her fear already came to life. She closed her eyes and leaned on the

door she just shut. She knew Justin would stay true to his words. He would take her children away.

Looking up to the second floor where her children played, she heaved a heavy sigh. She would fight for

her twins no matter which Goliath she faced.
