We're back

New York, Airport

"Theo, Max! Come back to mommy!"

My name's Emma Hamilton, and I just got back from the UK after six years with my twins.

"Mommy, look there! Uncle Bruce is here to pick us up."

"Hi sis!"- Bruce came with a bright smile on his face. He grabbed my suitcase and put it in the car.-"It's been a while, I thought you'll never come back."

"Of course I have to come back when one of our parents is sick. Let's go to the hospital! Mom called me and told me that dad has fallen ill a week ago."

"Are you sure? After all..."

"Of course! He's my father too, I have to go see him."

Bruce took us to the hospital without a word.

"Please take the children home, it's not the right time for them to get to know their grandparents."

"You're right. Call me when you finished."

"Okay, thank you."

After I left home I never called dad, and somehow six years have passed. I don't know what to say when I meet him again. I managed to find the VIP room where my dad is.

My family owns the Hamilton Bank and has a big company. They named the company after my brother, Bruce and me: B&E. It's a video game development company, where my big brother is the CEO.

Mom was already waiting in front of the room. She became so thin since the last time I saw her. When she saw me, suddenly she hugged me and started to cry, and then I realized that my eyes are also teary.

"Come in, dear. Your father is inside, go talk to him."

When I stepped in the room I saw my father's surprised face.

"Emma? Is that really you, Emma? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the UK?"

What happened to that strict and strong man, who always scolded me when I did something wrong? He wasn't like this, when he chased Ray away. No, it's wasn't dad. It was me.

Ray was my boyfriend six years ago, also he's the father of the twins. My father didn't let us get married, because he was a commoner and had no money. He and mom always wanted me to marry a wealthy man, so they arranged a date for me with one of his friend's son. At that time I didn't know I was already pregnant. I have a heart disease so I had to go for regular check ups. The doctor said that I can be cured, so I have to take care of myself and my children. At first I thought I misheard so I asked what he said. I was already six weeks along with the twins. When I got to know that I'm pregnant, Ray and I already broke up.

*memories of six years ago*

"Finally I can go home, it was a tiring day. I still have to study for the next exam, I can't fail now, in my last year of university."

"Hey beautiful, come and hang out with us."- Four guys just appeared out of nowhere. Looks like they are of the same age as me.

'I can't believe it, I have to deal with them too.'

"I'm sorry, but I don't have time to hang out with you."- I went past them, when suddenly one of those guys grabbed my hand.

"Where are you going? Other girls would be happy to come with us, so don't refuse. Okay?"

While I was trying to get out of his squeeze, another guy has appeared, but he wasn't one of them. He was a handsome man and I'm sure he was a few years older too.

He scared of those guys, and turned in my direction.

"Are you alright?"- He had a worried look on his face.

I didn't realize that I was staring at him.

"Ah..Yes, thank you for helping me."

"You're welcome."- Then he turned in the opposite direction and walked away.

"Wait!"- I said without thinking.
