Sylvia' PoV

"Mommy!!!"
Egypt cried out joyfully the moment she saw me, her voice as loud as ever, echoing through the hallway as she ran into my arms.
Paris, on the other hand, simply hugged me tightly without saying a word.
But even as I embraced them both, my gaze turned cold as it locked onto the group of men standing just outside my children's classroom—men I never expected to see here. Not now. Not like this.
My eyes quickly narrowed at Alpheus. Of course. I had a feeling he was behind all of this.
I knew I couldn't trust him. He went and told his friends about this—about me—without even waiting a day to pass. He couldn't even keep it to himself for 24 hours. Unbelievable.
"...Sylvia?"
I heard Alfonso's stunned voice as he caught sight of me, his expression mirroring the shock on the faces of the two other men with him—both standing frozen, eyes wide, staring not just at me but at the two children holding onto me.
