Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 83

Alexander POV

The moment I stepped into the hotel room, the sound of my children’s cries hit me like a punch in the gut. Their voices, normally full of hie and energy were now cracked with fear and confusion. My chest tightened as I made my way toward the living room, where they huddled together with the nanny.

The second they saw me, they ran to me, both of them clinging to my legs as if they were holding on for dear life. Ethan’s Eace was red from crying his small fists gripping my trousers, while Emma’s tear–streaked face buried itself into my waist. Their sobs filled the room, raw and heartbreaking

“Daddy where’s Mommy Emma’s voice was muffled against me, trembling with fear.

1 Aneh down gently taking both of them into my arms. Their little bodies shook with each sob, and it took everything in me not to break down too. But I had to be strong for them. For Christiana.

Tm doing everything I can to bring her back, I said softly, brushing the hair from Emma’s face and wiping away Ethan’s tears with my thumb “Mommy’s going to come back to us, I promise.”

Ethan snuffled, looking up at me with wide, terrified eyes. “But what if she doesn’t? What if they hurt her?”

The question hit me like a blade, sharp and painful, but I kept my voice steady. “No one’s going to hurt her. Ethan. I won’t let that happen” I pulled them closer, hugging them tightly, feeling the weight of their fear pressing against me. I’m not going anywhere until I bring her back to you both, safe and sound. I’m going to stay right here with you.”

Em looked up at me, her lip trembling, her small hand clutching at my shirt. “You won’t leave us too, Daddy?”

I kissed the top of her head, then Ethan’s “Never. I’m not leaving your side. We’re going to get through this together. I’m going to make sure Mommy comes home”

They quieted down a little, though I could still feel their fear. Their bodies were still tense, but I could see the small flicker of hope in their eyes. I held them like that for what felt like forever, just the three of us, huddled together in the living room.

“I love you both more than anything” I whispered, stroking Emma’s hair and squeezing Ethan’s shoulder. “And I’m going to protect you. I’m going to protect Mommy too.”

Ethan wiped his eyes, his voice still shaky but softer. “You promise!”

1 swear” I said, my voice firm, looking into his eyes. “I’m doing everything to bring her back.”

They nodded, both of them still holding onto me, but I could feel the slightest bit of calm settling in. For now, that was enough. I’d be here, right beside them, until the nightmare was over.

I kissed their foreheads again, my heart breaking at how fragile they were, how much they needed me. I’d never felt more

Erhan clung to me, his small body still trembling as I stroked his back. Emma nestled closer, her arms wrapped tightly around my neck. I could feel their little hearts racing against me, their breath shaky and uneven. Seeing them like this, so scared and helpless, broke something deep inside of me. But I couldn’t let them see that. They needed me to be strong.
