Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
She held a tray of food, and several warriors stood behind her holding containers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince my husband is staying over with you, I thought I would come here and eat breakfast with him and remind him that he has a responsibility to his wife and two children,\u201d she remarked bitterly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She made it clear that this morning would be difficult, especially once she found out that her husband was not only here to take care of my children for a night, but also planning to marry me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, where is my husband?\u201d she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stepped aside tiredly, revealing Elgin to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHusband, did you forget your daughters have travelled all this way to spend time with you?\u201d Silver remarked, her voice full of animosity and grudge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And she was not entirely wrong. If they were truly here to see him, should he not have gone back for at least an hour last night?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I arrived home, it was late. I did not want to bother the kids. I know they sleep early,\u201d Elgin replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From the way he spoke to her, and the roughness in his tone, I realized he had not lied when he said the two of them had nothing in common and were not in a relationship like any real couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about your wife? Did you not want to see your wife either?\u201d Silver complained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many times do I have to tell you? No,\u201d he hissed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I noticed the way Silver turned to glare at me while stepping aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, the kids will be coming here to eat breakfast since you do not want to leave this place. I hope my children will be safer here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Silver said that and looked at Elara, I frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean by that?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She faced me with a smirk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what your daughter has been up to. She has been on a murder rampage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she said that, Elgin grabbed her hand and began dragging her out of the house, pulling her roughly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he led her to the front porch, he began arguing with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you, Elara is my daughter, and I do not want to hear you say another bad thing about her,\u201d he hissed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he said that, my heart sank in my chest. Why was he telling her that only Elara was his daughter?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I realized the word had started to spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A rough voice approached, pulling my attention back to the porch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter came through them, stepping right between the two to reach the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once he entered, he leaned down and gently caressed Elara\u2019s cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHow are you today?\u201d he asked, squatting in front of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy now,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wrapped his arm around her and lifted her, carrying her as he walked toward me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow are you? Did you sleep well?\u201d he wondered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had never expected that in these past years, the one person who would mature the most would be Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine. I slept well,\u201d I replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then turned toward Gina and Bodhi. He stepped past me and knelt in front of them while setting Elara down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, are you two still upset with each other?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My children stared at one another in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should be working together to help your sister with the sickness, the same way your mother is helping other children,\u201d Baxter reminded them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bodhi looked at Gina, then glanced back at Elara.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elara appeared guilty, but with Baxter holding her close earlier, she seemed reassured that she was not alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut how can we do this? We are scared of her,\u201d Bodhi asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter shook his head firmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Bodhi. You should be the one taking care of your sisters. Sisters are the princesses of the house,\u201d Baxter explained as he lightly petted Gina and Elara\u2019s backs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I noticed how much confidence the two gained from his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about me?\u201d Bodhi wondered, placing his hands on his waist in a playful way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will be their protector. There is always a warrior beside princesses,\u201d Baxter replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bodhi began to chuckle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I will protect my two sisters,\u201d he announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wrapped his arm around Elara\u2019s neck and Gina\u2019s shoulders, hugging both of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing them together like that made me feel relieved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what about us? Will we protect him?\u201d Gina asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before I could answer, Baxter spoke first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course you will. Women can fight better than anyone. You must remember that,\u201d he told them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The confidence in Elara\u2019s and Gina\u2019s eyes brightened instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silver\u2019s loud voice cut through the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are marrying her?\u201d she shouted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Baxter rose and gestured for the children to return to their rooms. I realized we were about to face a difficult\u00a0<\/p>\n
confrontation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as my children went inside, Silver stormed in to confront me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you no shame? Aren\u2019t you married?\u201d she shouted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not allow this. You will only marry Elgin over my dead body,\u201d she screamed again, pointing a finger at her\u00a0<\/p>\n
own chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
