SOPHIE'S POV

It was about 4 in the morning; I had woken up about three hours earlier to work on the last phase of my ongoing research. I was having a hard time concentrating; my mind kept going back to days ago and my surprise encounters with Adam. But I had promised myself not to grant him much space in my heart ever again.

I slept late yesterday on the same office project, dozing on and off, fighting off the urge to think and the urge to sleep all at once. Even when I later succumbed to sleep, I had only been able to sleep for about four hours.

Now in my office, I was back to the same research, which had to do with discrepancies I noticed in the financial data for the month of March. My trace led me back to the same marketing department alongside another department this time around, which was the sales department. Apparently, these new yet-to-be identified culprits of mine have also been selling Harrington's customer data records, among others, to external agents, making the company

    ELLIOT'S POV"We are in the building now, sir." Joseph's cheerful voice was announced through the phone."Alright, good...good. Are they all with you?" I asked, getting up."Yes, all three of them," Joseph responded."What about their mom?"Joseph took a pause before he said,"Their mum? Erm, yeah, we are going to see her first at her office now.""Good, do that and get back to me; I will be waiting in my office.""Alright, sir."I hung up and went back to take a seat, taking a few calming breaths in while counting to ten slowly in my mind.      Sophie wasn’t aware that I had asked Joseph to bring me the kids from school, nor was Joseph aware that I had not informed Sophie beforehand. I wouldn’t say it was really a noble way to go about it, but it was something I felt I had to do if I was serious about making Sophie my date for tomorrow’s party. This was me literally grasping at stra

    ELLIOT'S POVI looked up from where I was sitting with a stupefied expression plastered on my face. Gerald was still standing by my desk. After he made the announcement about Sophie and her new date, Carter, my shoulders suddenly shrank."The kids really mentioned that there was someone like that. But I thought they had said he was only an old friend."I thought to myself, taking on a demeanor that screamed of defeat."Sir, are you still waiting for the other members of staff like you said?" Gerald asked when he noticed I had become silent for too long.I looked up at him tiredly. "Just go; I'll join you," I ordered, swinging my hands flimsily.“Alright, sir.”He curtsied and breezed out.I supported my jaw with one of my hands, thinking about what I was supposed to do next. This coming Sunday, Father had fixed a meeting between just the both of us. He was certainly going to ask questions about the date I informed him about the last time he came, and when he did, I wondered what in th

    GENERAL POV"Your mummy is going to take a little bit longer at the office; you guys know they're holding an event at work today, right?" Joseph asked cheerily. He was with the kids in the car, driving them home after picking them up from school."Yeah, we know. Is that where we are going now?" Isabella asked with hopeful eyes."No, I'm taking you guys home, but don't worry, she won't take long; it's just a quick party." He reassured them.The kids exchanged glances with themselves, speaking with their eyes. Although their mom had casually made reference to a little event that would take her time at work earlier in the day when they were going to school, she had not emphasized that it would be a party.It was now, after Mr. Joseph’s announcement, that they remembered Mr. Elliot’s last statement to them the last time they saw him, about a party he was going to be organizing, and that they should wish him luck.Nathan raised his head to speak, playing along and proceeding to feign ignor

  • "Are You Our Daddy?" Billionaire Daddy Triplets Saga!   Chapter 30: The dream

    SOPHIE'S POVI stood near the fridge, pouring myself a glass of orange juice. It was quite late into the night—about some minutes past 11 p.m.—and my kids were already fast asleep in their room. Tomorrow was a work day, yet I still couldn't bring myself to fall asleep. My laptop lay half shut on the sitting room center table, flashing a glimpse of my Polar Bear screensaver.I have been working for about four hours since Carter left and have even made considerable progress on the project I started some days ago, particularly the aspect relating to unveiling those behind the illegal sale of company data records to competitors.I had taken a break to get some juice, and immediately I noticed I was beginning to lose concentration. For some reason, I had been really trying hard not to reminisce too much about the very dramatic day that had just passed. But even now, after I had gotten the drink, the suspended memories still had not gone away, especially with the kids asleep and the whole h

    GENERAL POVNathan woke up the next day sitting up on his bed; the room was still covered in darkness. Yesterday night wasn't really a comfortable one for him. He had spent the night laying half asleep and half awake, closing and opening his eyes, swaying from side to side on his bunk bed.He had been preoccupied with thoughts about Candidate 1 and how to meet up with him again. Nathan felt Mr. Elliot needed to know that their mother had not told his siblings and himself anything about going with Carter to his party; he hoped the man had not started to feel betrayed.He leaped down from the bed, and from a corner of the room, he heard a rustle.He froze halfway.“Who’s there?” He asked, looking a bit frightened.“It’s me, Owen.”"Gosh, you scared me,” Nathan said, looking relieved, placing one of his slender hands on his chest.“You mean you’ve been awake all this time?" Nathan asked further, squinting at Owen’s crouched figure in the corner. "Yeah," Owen said again.Nathan tottered o

    L"We are almost there." I said from where I was sitting next to the taxi driver in the Uber we had booked for the trip. We had been on the road for the past one hour and 30 minutes, and we were finally arriving at the affluent scenery of Montgomery County—the same county where I was told my mother was born and had grown up. I took in deep breaths as I tried to re-invoke little clips of childhood memories I had of the place. Though I never got to see my mother in real life, the little time I spent here during the first three years of my life, was enough to convince me of the kind of person my mother must have been, a gentle person. This county was a place for the gentle. Then, I guess at that time my father was not so much of a zealot, he would bring me here accompanied by Vivian who was still my nanny at the time, I still remember myself being tied to her back bouncing back and forth whenever she strolled through the gullies, and some other memories of me running with some of my pla

    SOPHIE'S POV "Good to see you, Mr. Elliot; my siblings and I have been dying to see you again." Isabella cheered, still wrapped up in Elliot's arms and clinging to him. I continued to watch from a corner, like an uninvited guest."Same here, my angel; I've been losing sleep, wishing to see my friends again," Elliot responded just as charitably, beaming with smiles from ear to ear.“Did you just say you were losing sleep?” Nathan asked."Yeah," Elliot affirmed cheerily.“Oh my God, that literally was my past 24 hours,” Nathan interjected, and I furrowed my brows, wondering what he meant by that.“Mine too.” Owen chirped in, also smiling.“It's obvious we have all really missed each other’s company,” Elliot said, laughing loudly in a way that was so unlike him.Then he glanced in my direction and seemed to remember only at that moment that I was still there. "Oh." He exclaimed before turning to the kids and saying.“One minute, guys.” He walked over to me with his palms together and

He told me that none of them were at home by the time he came to pick them up for school and work, and my heart sank."Had Sophie indeed made good on her threat? Had she secretly eloped with the kids to another company like she had threatened to in the past? But I thought she had accepted my apology."I heaved a deep sigh, wondering how I was going to cope if indeed my suspicions ended up being true. Thoughts of my new friends—her kids—also crossed my mind."You know what? Keep an eye on the build

  • "Are You Our Daddy?" Billionaire Daddy Triplets Saga!   chapter 112: Embracing Tomorrow

    SOPHIE'S POVI shifted the thick, opaque curtains that fell over the window in my room to one side as I observed the gate of our house through the transparent glass upstairs.The Tesla had just driven out through the open gate, and one of the uninformed security guards had begun to close it up.Elliot, who had been raising fire and brimstone some moments ago, had finally resigned to the strong will of his daughter. He has finally yielded to her persuasion as well as that of her older twin, Amelia. I let out a small smile. Was it not funny that despite his so-called anger about the recent developments, he still insisted on dropping them off at the park, even when Amelia kept insisting that the park was not that far? Sometimes, I find myself debating again who actually pampered Isabella more between her father and grandfather. I let out a wider smile this time.I drew the curtains closed again and returned to my bed to sit quietly."Just like yesterday," I whispered.It was so hard to

    GENERAL POVOwen was sitting stiffly inside Michael's larger-than-life office space. While Michael reclined at the other end of the desk, his manner was a little more relaxed since the last time they met at his school. They were having a conversation about Isabella."Have you called my sister yet?" Owen asked calmly."No, not yet," Michael answered, almost blushing at the sound of Isabella's name.Owen shrugged weakly and said,"But why her? I mean, what drew you to her? She literally dresses like a guy. Though I know my sister is beautiful, if you're not close to her like us, you might never know."Michael let out an indulgent smile, readjusting his seat and leaning forward before he spoke again.Actually, I've seen Isabella several times without her usual regalia. Erm, you know, her usual regalia." He let out a gentle laugh.Then, a little more quietly, he added:"She is so kind and beautiful."Owen laughed too, in a way that said, "I thought as much,"Then Michael went on to tap h

    ISABELLA’S POVI opened my eyes faintly the next morning after a long sleep the previous night, rolling over tiredly on the hospital's compact bed. Then suddenly, my body brushed against the rigid weight of someone sitting with his back turned against me on the bed. I sat up immediately, rubbing my palms over my face and eyes to brighten my vision. The person turned over at once, and to my relief, it was the face of Dr. James.My curious expression softened into a smile. He smiled too, and with a soothing voice, he asked,"How are you feeling?"His gaze switched to my neck and arms.I involuntarily touched the plastered areas on my hands before I said,"I'm quite fine; it was just a slight accident."A small silence ensued. He stared at me with deep care in his eyes, and for a second I had to bite my lip and look away shyly.Then he inhaled and brought out my phone from the pocket of his lab coat. Then he made a weak gesture with his hand before he said,"Your phone; I charged it for

    Nathan arrived at the Epiloxx Club as directed by the address from Isabella's text message. As soon as he got out of the taxi, He walked towards the entrance and stopped for a moment to catch his breath before attempting to go in. He stopped again and flexed his wrist to see what the time was saying on his gold watch; it was exactly 11:30 am. He inhaled and exhaled to calm his nerves, trying to imagine the look Scarlett would have on her face the moment she eventually saw him, as well as the reaction of this so-called boyfriend of hers. Then he brashly waved his hand as if to say, "Whatever." Before proceeding finally into the building with slow but steady strides. While inside the club and standing awkwardly near the door with surveilling eyes, the first thing Nathan's eyes picked out from the crowded, noisy hall illuminated with dull multicolored lights was the sight of Scarlett kissing a guy at the back of the room, a man whom Nathan immediately identified as Kevin. He froze and

    General POVIsabella's apartment was located less than 10 minutes away from her school, immediately outside the terminating bar gate.She was in the house, sitting in her cozy blue-painted bedroom with the warm, masculine-looking decor and walls pervaded by the many photographs of bikers and popular sportsmen around the world.She was wreathed in blue tops and shorts, which also marched with the color of her room, sporting a pair of expensive trainers, leaning over to untie and retie the shoelaces with a meticulous expression on her face and taut lips. She lifted her head quickly to check the vintage clocks hanging above the arc when she was done and mouthed the words:"Five minutes past six already?" looking surprised and taken aback."Oh my God." She whispered again, springing up to her feet hurriedly. The event she was about to attend was actually a racing exercise organized by her teammates back in school and was supposed to begin at exactly 6:30; she had just 25 minutes left to

    GENERAL POVThe first and second basements of the round, well-ventilated university hall were filled up with mostly young people from different parts of the city; all of them were clothed in nice dresses while also bearing notebooks and pens on their palms, jotting down points as they kept their focus fixedly on the young prominent speaker standing on top of the podium and was about to round off his talk.The speaker's name was Michael Howard, a 25-year-old billionaire heir and owner of one of the largest corporations booming in New York City, just about second after the Harringtons. He was invited to the school’s graduation to deliver the first key note speech to the graduating students. During the speech, Michael went ahead to acknowledge the CEO of Harrington Inc., Elliot Harrigton, who was also present as one of his biggest inspirations.All the while, Nathan, sitting with brother Owen and dressed up in their graduating gowns, nodded attentively to everything Michael was saying at

    15 YEARS LATERSOPHIE'S POVI was seated with Elliot in the sectioned corner of our sitting room, where the dining room was located. Breakfast was set, and we were already digging into it in silence when Nathan, who was all suited up and sitting next to his father and ready to accompany him to his office, disrupted the quietness with his slightly hoarse, passionate voice. This had become a usual routine for us every morning since Elliot started to allow him to accompany him to work about four years ago. Sometimes these dining table speculations and business advice would mostly start hours before breakfast; other times, they would start during the meal, and if we happened to be lucky, it would be after we were done eating. Sometimes I found myself counting to ten silently in anticipation of his voice, just like I had done today while dishing the meal, and as expected, the fresh economic expert we had for a son was not disappointed."I was actually following up on one of the brokerage

    SOPHIE'S POVAs soon as we arrived at the house, Elliot took out the keys from the ignition point, let out a small groan, and came down from the car hurriedly. With double-quick yet uncoordinated steps, Elliot entered the house with his head bowed to the earth. It was obvious he was still feeling hurt; perhaps it was better to allow him some quiet time to absorb everything. I observed him through the windscreen for a moment before turning over to glance at Mrs. Harrington, his mother, who was still bent over in the back seat, sniffing and weeping bitterly since the moment she followed us to the family house. Even the kids were muttering, their hands resting on her shoulder."Stop crying, grandma," Isabella said, looking at her, and her brother's eyes were on her too, looking at her worriedly.She wrapped her hands around them to acknowledge their plea, but she still could not stop her crying."Darlings, could you please borrow me a few minutes alone with Grandma?"They looked at her o
