My Cold-hearted Empress | BOOK III

Chapter 21: Forgiven

Anastasia POV

-

"Explain" Victoria muttered as I avoided her glare

"Well first things first, I shouldn't have sent you to Russia when I saw you kissing Celeste-"

All of a sudden I heard choking noises and I turn around to see Y/n and Victoria's wife choking on water

Celeste cleared her throat awkwardly and averted my gaze

Shit, I shouldn't have said that

"Are you okay?" I asked Y/n and she gave me a thumbs up

"Well I'm sorry for being like that in the past, I should've never left your Mama all alone. I regretted my actions... "

I paused once Dawn entered the living room

"I never cheated, Natasha and Nadia were the ones who cheated with different women. I tried to stop them but they were blinded by lust"

I spoke clearly so that they wouldn't misunderstand, I need to be sincere enough

"I stayed clean for your Mama, I regret everything so please forgive me"

"She's speaking the truth girls" Andromeda smiled softly at me and I nodded my head

I hung my head low and held my tears back but all of a sudden I felt someone launched onto me and I was shocked to see Dawn sobbing

"I-I was lonely when Mama left us, at first I thought we'll be alright but it was hard without any adult"

She paused and harshly wiped her tears

"I missed you, Mother, you're not like those two..."

Dawn sobbed and I let my tears fall as I hugged her back. I looked over at Celeste and I smiled resulting her to cry

"Mother" Celeste hugged me too and I probably the most happiest woman ever

The two pulled away and I wiped both of their tears, I then glanced at Victoria who's sobbing while glaring at me

Honestly, I never understand this child

"J-Just promise you won't leave us again" I cupped her cheeks and pulled her in for a hug

"My dear Victoria I won't leave nor hurt the three of you. Mother loves you"

I stroked her back softly and like a spoiled child Victoria was never let my body go

"Vic honey, stop crying" I chuckled and she shook her head

"Mama, stop crying! Valentine will make you feel better!"

Valentine smiled widely as she pulled Victoria away from me

"No, I don't want to"

Victoria mumbled and little Valentine looked like she lost something so valuable in her life

"WAHHH, MOMMY! MAMA DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE!" Valentine cried and ran towards Maxine who's laughing

"Let Mama be, she just misses her Mother. You know your grandmother"

Maxine told her and Valentine looked at me then back at her Mommy

"That's granny? But why is she so young?" Valentine asked resulting me to chuckled

All of a sudden Victoria pulled away with swollen eyes

"You done hogging Mother?" Dawn asked with a glare

"Not yet, Mother can you cook us the thing you cooked for us when we're kids?"

Victoria asked and I just let out a short laugh

"Okay" I smiled sweetly and cooked them fluffy pancakes even though it's noon
