Chapter 81: Butterflies in my stomach

Adam's pov

"Sir, Imogen is back," My beta said, I asked him to inform me immediately Imogen was back at the Packhouse, I'd spent the past few hours thinking about her, I thought I could learn not to meddle in this matter but was very hard, I've been away from her for the past few years and it hasn't been easy and now that she's here, am I going to let her solve this problem alone? I know I have a lot to handle but I needed to be there for her too

"Okay," I replied and took a sip from my coffee before standing to my feet,

"I want you to sort these files out," I said as I handled a bunch of files for beta to handle. I walked out of my study room and made my way down the hallway to Imogen's room, I knocked on her door

Imogen's pov

"And...." Adam said

"And the maid confirmed to me that he was gone with the kids and I booked a flight to Miami that night, I just got back and I planned on telling you later today after I've tested for a while but just then you knocked on my door," I said

"Oh I see, I'll come with you then," Adam said.

"No, you don't have to, I'm totally fine," I said

"No, Imogen, Maxwell is a very dangerous person and I'm alright terrified that my kids are with him and now you're going to meet him alone," Adam said. I brought my hands forward and touched his hands as I looked into his eyes

"Adam, you don't have to worry, I lived with Maxwell for six years, I'm fine and you have work to do, Don't worry about me, if I need your help, I'll call you," I said

"Okay" Adam replied and we both sat there for a few seconds, I rested my head on his shoulders, I enjoyed his company, I enjoyed being around him and being close to him, it is a feeling that I cherish, I've never felt like this for Maxwell although Maxwell has been kind to me

"I have to go now, I have a meeting with a business partner," I said

"Alright, I'm feeling hungry so I'll go downstairs to eat lunch" I replied and we both smoked at each other, we didn't want to leave each other's presence, we both wanted to stay together, I wanted to stay with him forever

He walked out of my room and closed the door, I stood to my feet and walked to the window, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, Although I felt stressed, I still looked like a beauty and I loved this place with all my heart, I remembered back when I was still in this pack, six years ago, I remembered that the house I lived in wasn't too far from this house

I walked out of the room and made my way down the stairs to the kitchen, I felt really hungry, I sat there and the chef dished my food for me, The scent of the food was amazing and the food seemed foreign, I hadn't eaten it before and before I could ask her what the name of the food is, she walked out of the dining room, I don't know how to eat this but I need to try it, I'm love with the scent and I feel so hungry so I can't wait for her to prepare something else before I eat

"Holy Cow," I said out loud, "This tastes amazing" I added, I'd never eaten anything like it before in my entire life, it tasted amazing, I ate more and more of the food until I got satisfied and when I was done, I walked back to my room and decides to arrange my bag for tonight's travel before resting for a while

I opened my closet and pulled out two jeans and two T-shirts, that was all I needed, I picked a few private stuffs and put them into the bag before zipping the bag back and then I kept it on the couch in my room. I claimed my bed and lay on it, I wasn't feeling sleepy but I needed to rest for a while, I was glad that something in my life was working out, and right now, I needed my kids back to be completely happy, they mean the whole world to me

I stared at the ceiling with a smile on my face, There was a knot in my stomach and It felt like I was a teenager who just felt like love, the thought of it made me giggle, I felt fireworks for Adam, and I didn't care if this fire was going to burn me, or if it was going to burn us both, all I care about is to with him forever

I needed to sleep, I needed to rest so that I'd have enough straight to confront Adam the next day, and what the hell did Sarah say Maxwell say about me, This only makes me hate him more. Why would he say that I want to harm them, All I want is to take them back, I want to take them from him, I don't want them to experience violence, and I don't want them to grow up with Maxwell, I want them to grow up with their biological father, I know they may not like it at first but with time, they will get used to it

I picked up my phone and set an alarm, I didn't want to miss the flight, so I tossed and tossed on the bed but I was still awake and I wasn't feeling sleepy. Maybe I don't have to sleep and all I have to do is to rest my head for a few minutes. I don't know if my kids would be happy with me, I mean who knows the lies Maxwell must have fed them with
