Alpha's Lost Luna Returns With His Twins-Chapter 316-Blind Trust

Iris:

Luca watched my face in silence before he smiled.

"Lara was the only one who was in contact with your mother through and through," he began.

He had told us all that before. That day, when I had sat down with him for a conversation, I had asked him about everything.

He told me what he knew from the start, including the fact that Lara had been hiding darker secrets than we realized. One of them was that she had been in contact with my mother for a very long time.

I guess we just never figured it out. But Luca, being close to my mother, had sensed something.

"I just don’t understand what that woman wants," I said, shaking my head in disbelief.

"Well, you will never know with her," he replied.

"Did you find my children?" he asked softly.

I felt terrible that I did not have good news to give him.

"We tried to locate the place, but it seems her father had already gotten to the children," I explained. "His men had taken them away. By the time we arrived, it was too late."

I watched his face fall and I felt so bad.

"We locked down the entire area and shut off the call connections. However, it did not do us any good. In fact, all it did was delay her father from receiving the information that the children had been found. They had been taken long before." I pouted.

"If we had intervened more aggressively, like shutting down additional areas, they would have grown suspicious. But I believe that if the children are with their grandfather, they will be safe. He seemed far more anxious than Lara was."

I was honestly surprised that Lara had children. Not just that, but that she had cast them aside as if they were nothing, merely a hurdle in her way.

The children had come from that one night stand she had with Luca.

When Luca told me everything, I was in shock. I could not believe it at first.

Then I realized it was possible for Lara to do anything.

That was why she had not come begging Kash to take her back immediately. She had been waiting for the children to be born.

And once they were, she worked her way back into his life, not knowing that he was the one using her now.

"I don’t understand. If she did not want my children, why didn’t she give them to me? Why didn’t she at least try to confirm it with a DNA test?" he asked, pain visible in his eyes.

I understood what he was feeling. No father should feel this helpless or miserable.

She had proved to me that anyone could change, but not Lara. She would never change.

Watching Luca so heartbroken over his children reminded me of myself. Because of Lara, I was away from my children too.

"You planned this well, though. She must have taken the fall," Luca added, referring to the game we were playing.

I nodded, smiling slightly as I took a bite of my omelette.

"I never thought Kash would know so much. I thought you guys were clueless," Luca commented, making me smile as I thought about Kash.

"Well, he may seem that way. He is always calm and mostly keeps things to himself," I replied. "That is why we never assume he knows more than he lets on. But he was already aware of many things she had done. He had just been waiting for the right moment to strike." I paused.

"I mean, of course, after he had taken the cure for me," I mumbled, realizing the delay had been because of the cure.

"Well, he really is an enigma, isn’t he?" Luca remarked.

His comment made me laugh. Anyone who met Kash became a fan of him.

As we continued eating, a gust of wind whooshed past my ear, and with it, I heard something strange. It sounded almost as if someone was calling Kash’s name.

I lifted my head and looked around in confusion.

"Did you hear that?" I asked.

Luca, who had been focused on his food, looked up at me.

"Yeah. I thought you were talking about Kash," he replied casually.

My spine stiffened.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I thought you said his name," he said with a smile, not thinking much of it.

"Well, I didn’t," I told him and he frowned.

"That’s odd. Are we both imagining things now?" he chuckled.

I gave him a look and turned my attention back to my food.

Half of the living room floor was glass, built over water so we could see below.

For a split second, I felt like I saw something move quickly beneath it.

I flinched and immediately looked down. Luca must have noticed my reaction because he was now watching my face in confusion.

"What was that?" he asked.

"You noticed it too, right?" I asked.

He gave me an obvious look.

"Of course I did. What the hell was that?" he muttered.

"I don’t know. It’s strange," I whispered, leaning forward to see if I could spot anything else in the distance.

But everything was quiet again.

We kept staring for a few more seconds before I sighed.

"Okay, we are both losing our minds," I said, finishing my food.

He finished as well.

We stood up, and without saying it aloud, we both moved toward the exit to get some fresh air.

"Your husband left you here with me," Luca commented with a chuckle.

"Well, he trusts me," I replied confidently.

Honestly, it made me feel good when Kash told me he did not want to leave me alone because he was worried I would feel stressed.

So he decided that Luca and I should stay in the same mansion so I would have someone to talk to.

That alone proved how much he trusted me. Otherwise, I knew how much he hated Luca being around me.

"Well, out of respect for him, I have stopped flirting with you and stopped chasing you," Luca joked.

I rolled my eyes playfully.

As we walked along the waterfall, a loud scream suddenly tore through the air.

"Help!"

It was a woman crying desperately.
