Chapter king 21
i think i’m in trouble.
“Ahhh! Mummy, Daddy, Help me!” it was Aurora’s voice. This made I and Cullian jump off in fear and hastily we wore our clothes, heading to the kids room.
“Honey, what is it? Tell me,” I ran towards her, she had used her
blankets to cover up her face as she whimpered.
“Mummy it’s him,” she mumbled, my heart beat increased as the thought of Conri crossed my mind.
“Wh–what! who?” I asked.
“Common baby, talk to us,” Cullian added.
“It’s the boogie man, from yesterday, he came to take me,” Aurora mumbled.
“The boogie man, oh shit! The boogie man,” I remembered, it was from the scary series we watched yesterday evening.
“Aurora, I told you he wasn’t real, I told you not to think too much about it baby, it’s all made up, there’s no boogie man,” I tried to convince her.
“What or who is boogie man?” Cullian raised a brow.
“It’s nothing,” I didn’t want him to know I let the kids watch scary movies with me, he complains I treat the kids as adults. Do I?
“Well my princess,” Cullian removed her blanket from covering her face, while she gazed up at him with her beautiful green eyes, she used her hand to wipe off the tears rolling down her cheek while she sniffed in the rest.
“Whatever or whoever boogie man is, daddy is always here to protect you okay, and as my princess, I’ll do whatever to keep you safe, now sleep tight, while I handle boogie man myself, okay?,” Cullian kissed her cheek and she nodded, I could feel tears welled up in my eyes while I watched them both. So cute together.

“I wuv you daddy,” Aurora mumbled.
“I love you more my princess,” Cullian patted her hair.
I and Cullian went back to our room after we made sure Aurora was already asleep, obviously there was no longer need for making love to each other, not after i could feel my heart leave my chest, besides we could do that a thousand more times, even more.
“Babe,” Cullian called.
“Yes honey,” I turned to face him.
“Is everything alright with you?” He asked softly.
“Sure, I’m fine, you’ve asked me this earlier,” I mumbled.
“I don’t know, but it feels like something is bothering you, I could sense it you know,” Cullian Complained.
“Babe, I’m fine, if there’s anything bothering me, you know you’re always the first to know, I promise I’m fine,” I tried to convince him.
“Well, I trust you, but if you want to talk, you know I’m always here to listen, goodnight, I love you cupcake,” Cullian reached for my lips, and kissed me softly.
“I love you more,” I responded.
While he cuddled me to bed, I could only think about Conri, showing up again, and this time Cullian might find out, oh Goddess! I had the Chance to tell Cullian, but I couldn’t. What if I can’t handle this on my own? What if things get worse? no! It won’t, I’m sure Conri wouldn’t bother me again, not after the way i had spoken with him today, I’m sure he wouldn’t bother me again.
The next morning, I had woken up earlier because sleeping at night was too impossible, i turned to Cullian, he was still fast asleep. I got up from bed, did my morning skincare routine, and then I decided to go to the kitchen, maybe make myself coffee. While I prepare the kids‘ meal since their nanny has not shown up yet. Despite having the nanny to do

so, I kind of use it to keep myself busy. I wasn’t a lazy kind you know.
I was in the process of cooking when I sensed something or someone pass by. To my knowledge, Cullian and the kids were still fast asleep, and the nanny wouldn’t have access to the house unless some had let her in from the inside. Or maybe I wasn’t sure.
I turned my focus back to the eggs was frying when I heard it again, this time I was certain it was someone.
“Who is there?” I asked and I got no response.
“Cullian is that you?” I was beginning to panic.
“Show yourself right now Conri, I know it’s you, show yourself!,” I grabbed a knife on the kitchen counter.
“Conri?” Cullian revealed himself, and the kids stood behind him.
“Happy anniversary mum!” They yelled.
“Darlene,” Cullian called
2 gain, I turned to him, His gaze burning on me.
“What do you mean, Conri? Are you in contact with him?” Cullian asked, there was seriousness in his voice.
“Uh–i,” I stuttered.
