Shadows Of A Forgotten Spring

Chapter Billionaire Shadow 153



Chapter 153

Inside the jet, the atmosphere was suffocating. The three of them sat in silence, each lost in their own whirlwind of

émotions.

Emma stared out the window, her hands trembling slightly in her lap. She tried to focus on the clouds forming in the distance, but her mind kept replaying the look on Jaden's face as he walked away. She wanted to scream, to cry, to undo the damage Alexander had done with just a few words. Even though Alexander was the real father of her twins, he had no reason to do what he had done because he wouldn't be more than that her life. He had thrown away his chance, and even all he had done and sacrificed for her, she couldn't dream of both of them being together again, and then her gaze fell on Annie, who was seated next to Alexander like two beans in a pod..

Annie sat stiffly a few seats away, her perfectly composed facade beginning to crack. Her jaw was clenched, her knuckles white as she gripped the armrests. Every glance Alexander stole in Emma's direction felt like a dagger to her heart.

Finally, after what felt like forever, they landed at the airport, and Emma tried to grab her bags, but Annie stopped her by gripping her wrist.

"I will help you with your bags, Emma." Annie said, looking straight into Emma's eyes with her brightest gaze.

Although she had no idea what was going on in front of the airport, she was sure of one thing: Emma's fans and well-wishers would be waiting for her out there, and considering all the ill things people had said about her in the past, she needed her name rectified, and by helping Emma was the fastest way she could think of.

"You..." Emma tried to argue, but Annie was the one to back down.

"I've got this. You need to reserve your energy, Emma."

Slowly, she let go of her bag straps and left Annie to them.

And as Annie had expected, the whole airport was filled with people waiting for Emma.

With Emma on the right side of the Ty tree, Alexander in the middle, and Annie on the left side, they walked into the midst of the crowd with the help of the guards.

Annie made sure to make the bags look way heavier, and she plastered her toothpaste smile on to her face.

But the moment they stepped out of the airport, the air changed as a tiny, feminine voice filled the air.

"Mommy!" Little Emily ran up to her mother with Ethan on her tail.

Annie's expression changed for a microsecond before it went back to neutral.

Looking at the way Alexander was looking at the twins as they hugged their mother made her stomach churn to the fullest.

For two weeks, she had thought over and over about becoming the twins stepmother. Whether Emma was ready for it or not, there was no way she could do that now, not with the look on Alexander's face.

She needed to come up with a new plan, one that doesn't involve the twins.
