The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 122

Hillary’s POV

Two months…

It’s been two months already, I’ve been waiting to wake up from this beautiful dream, I keep thinking that I would be woken by my friends or my kids and they would tell me that I have been dreaming all along. But I was wrong, it isn’t a dream, it’s all true. Nathan is back and he is here to stay. It took me a while to come to terms with this new life, I know I’ve always wanted him to come back to me, but I just wasn’t prepared to have him back. Then again, the way he had found me with another man had nearly driven me insane, I nearly destroyed our future because I thought he would never want me again. I blame myself for listening to my friends, I blamed my friends for pushing me so hard, and then I blamed him as well for being away for so long and for coming back when I was ready to move on with my life. Trust me, the blame was enough to go around, I was just too angry and sad, I could never have thought that Nathan would still want me back in his life. I had to convince my kids that a big bad monster was let loose in the city and that is why we had to run away. Gemma believed me so easily, she kept holding me right, trying to use me as a human shield for the monsters. But Gerald, that smart little boy, he never believed. Some part of him had always known that I was lying, he kept asking too many questions, trying to get me to tell him exactly what is going on. It’s so hard to believe that he is still a kid, he sure doesn’t act like one.

But I’m glad, we got through it all, I’m so glad that we were able to settle our differences and accept each other back, mistake and all. Watching him playing with the kids brings me so much joy and happiness, it’s like a dream come true, I never thought it would ever be possible and I’m so happy that I didn’t succeed in running away with my kids earlier on. I mean, what on earth was I thinking?

I would have deprived my kids of the chance to meet their father, I would have deprived myself of the chance to be with Nathan, a chance to be happy again. I would never have known about my family, I would never have met my father and my grandparents, and it would have been my fault because I’m so damn stupid. I’m so glad that I agreed to get back with him. A few days after we came back together, I finally summoned the courage to tell my kids that Nathan was their father. For the first time since I gave birth to these little angels, I saw their real happy smiles as they threw themselves into his arms, hugging him so right that it brought tears to my eyes. I guess they have always known that something was missing in their lives. A few years from now, I’m sure they would have thrown the question to me and asked me about their father. I guess Nathan just saved me the agony of having to lie to my kids or even telling them the painful truth that their father is no more. Good thing that he showed up right on time and now my kids are so happy, happier than they have ever been with Miguel or Lawrence. I guess it’s true when they said that a father's love can never be replaced.  I did not grow up with my parents, but I’m so glad that I got to meet them and experience what it feels like to have people out there who are looking out for you.
