The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 190: The Call

Leo’s POV

​What was I supposed to say to them?

​How could I look my own brothers in the eye and tell them the truth? How could I tell them that I knew she was alive for over two years? Every single month, my phone would ring with a message from a hidden number. Just a few words: I’m fine, Leo. I’m doing well. It was a small, special message meant only for me.

​But it was worse than that. So much worse. I did not just keep a secret. I hurt them in the worst way possible. Twice over the last two years, I went and found her. Twice, I held her in the dark, inhaled her scent, and forgot about everything else. I slept with her behind their backs while they were crying and hurting for five long years.

​If Liam and Leonard found out that I had touched her, and that I had hidden her from them, they would not just be angry. They would destroy me.

​"Leo!" Liam’s voice pulled me out of my dark thoughts. His heavy hand came down on my shoulder. His grip was tight, and his dark eyes bored into mine, demanding an answer. "Are you okay? Talk to me."

​I swallowed the guilt rising in my throat. I tried to force my face into a calm expression, even though my heart was beating incredibly fast.

​"Yes..." I lied. My voice sounded tight and strange, even to me. I stepped back, moving away from his hand so I could pretend to study the painting. "I’m fine. It’s just... it’s hard for me to process it all."

​Before Liam could question my strained voice, the large double doors of the living room swung open.
