BARREN BILLIONAIRE'S EX WIFE, MOTHER OF TRIPLETS. chapter Sixty-two
LUCIANOYep, it was quite a place. If you liked a house that seemed to have no soul.The front door opened and Alex strode inside... He dropped his briefcase on the lowest step of the staircase. Yanking off his gloves, he glared through the archway at his brother.“You said Eloise was awake,” he accused, his gray eyes harsh and disbelieving.“I said she woke up and stared at me, said a few words and fell asleep or whatever you want to call it again. Then and her eyes opened she couldn't speak . Just for a splitting seconds” I explained“Well, she never so much as moved while I was there and I stayed over an hour.” Alex unbuttoned his coat. “The doctor told me waiting around was futile. They’ll call if there’s any change.” Tossing his coat over the banister, he walked into the sitting room. “Hell of a thing, isn’t it?” He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarette. “After over three months of nothing, not one solitary sign of life, Eloise opens her eyes, speak

ELOISEI opened one eye a crack but the shaft of piercing light forced me to shut it again. My headache was a low throb, and the pain in my jaw more pronounced.“Mrs. Kate?” a soft female voice said.That name again. Oh, God, why did it seem wrong? My eyelids fluttered open and I winced against the blaze of light, then realized the light has been turned down low, the blinds drawn, the room is now semidark.“Do you know where you are?”I nodded. seeing the ECG and the pungent smell I'm perceiving the IV and all. I couldn't be in a full body spa section receiving a body massage. My mouth tasted terrible, my skin itched from lying in bed and my hair felt stringy, my scalp gritty. Slowly, the blur that was the nurse’s face came into focus.“This is The Hospital, and I’m Jessica” The name tag on her pale blue jacket verified the information with an RN tacked on. Tall and blonde with crystal blue eyes, she offered a smile of straight white teeth. “Glad to have you with us.”I swa

LUCIANO“A hell of a homecoming, isn’t it?” Alex said to someone I just met for the first time but it seems they've known each other for long. Re guy looked rough with tattoos. . “Eloise in the hospital, another woman dead, a trucker burned and dead and her family business in trouble.”He offered him a smile that was somewhere between tenderness and crafty calculation. “Whatever the reason, it’s good to have you back, Nicholas.”I took a sip of his drink. The smoky Scotch slid down his throat as easily as water, an acquired taste he’d been told, but one he seemed to have been born with."Who is here?" I asked. I hated the fact that without asking my permission, Alex had invited a fourth party yeah together with Laura to my hotel room. Of all the buildings we are own. Why would my suite be our secret operation room or was it hideout? His answer was that because no one would suspect that and when they find out. They'd ask the same question I just did.." He's a colleague, a buddy

ELOISEFor the next few hours, a nurse had bustled into my room, given me a quick sponge bath, and straightened the sheets. I'd just breezed out the door when my family arrived in mass. Smiles, hugs, kisses that seemed strained were rained upon me by strangers. All strangers. I forced a grin that I didn’t feel and tried like crazy to remember these people, only to fail. Only their voices had seemed less foreign to me, their faces sparked no memory whatsoever.“It’s so good to see you awake and have you back with us,” my mother-in-law said, dabbing at her eyes with the corner of a handkerchief.She's A petite woman with grey-shaded hair and small even teeth, she wore high heels that matched her purse, a gray wool suit, pearl-colored silk blouse and a print scarf in tones of red and gold.“Thanks.” I stuttered. Carolina cleared her throat. “That big old house has been empty without you.”My heart melted and I smiled. Three adorable children of almost same age stood staring

LUCIANOST. AUGUSTINE HOSPITAL –11:47 PMThe night smelled like damp asphalt and cigarettes. A light drizzle coated the streets, the neon glow from the hospital sign flickering in the reflection of the pavement. Nicholas parked the van two blocks away, just outside the hospital’s blind spot—an alley between an old pharmacy and a construction site. It was a quiet night, except for the occasional honk of a passing cab. Inside the van, I checked my watch. 11:47 PM"Alright," I muttered, glancing around at the crew. "We go in, get her, and get out. No noise, no mess." Nicholas smirked. "You say that like Laura could ever get in and out without a mess." Laura rolled her eyes. "That’s because you have the subtlety of a goddamn sledgehammer." Alex ignored them both, adjusting the earpiece we’d synced to our comms. "Security shift change is in thirteen minutes. That’s our best shot. After that, the next patrol comes through, and it’s a shitshow." I nodded. "Positions?" "Laura

ELOISE "Of course you want to go home," Damon said, his voice gentle but firm. "But it’s impossible." "Why?" I asked, my throat dry. "I think he wants to run a couple of routine tests. Your vital signs, that sort of thing. No big deal," he replied with a reassuring smile. "A big enough deal to keep me in here," I snapped, my frustration bubbling over. "You just woke up, honey," he reminded me, placing a hand on my arm. His touch was meant to soothe, but it only made me feel more trapped. "But I want to go home," I repeated, my voice sharper this time. "Now." A tense silence filled the room. Damon shifted uncomfortably, exchanging a glance with Carolina. She had been fussing over a Christmas cactus but now busied herself with a vase of flowers, plucking out the wilted roses and dropping them into a nearby wastebasket. Her hands trembled slightly, but she avoided my gaze. "Listen, dear," Carolina stepped closer to the bed, her expression hardening. A few moments ago, her

DAMON My phone buzzed on the nightstand. I almost ignored it. I’d just gotten back from a late meeting, and exhaustion clung to me like a second skin. The city skyline stretched beyond my window, the glow of streetlights casting long shadows across my bedroom. Then I saw the caller ID. St. Augustine Hospital. Every trace of fatigue vanished. A cold, sharp feeling cut through my chest as I grabbed the phone. "Yeah?" My voice came out rough. "Mr. Huxley?" A woman’s voice sounded..it was too hesitant, too cautious. Something was wrong. I sat up, my fingers tightening around the phone. "What is it?" There was a pause. Then— "I… I don’t know how to say this, sir, but… Mrs Kate is gone." The room tilted. I swung my legs over the bed, already reaching for my keys. "What do you mean, gone?" "We went to check on her a little after eleven. The bed was empty. The IV line was pulled out. She’s—she’s not here, sir. Someone took her." The words barely

LUCIANO“The memory loss is severe,” the doctor explains, his voice calm but firm. “Eloise is experiencing post-traumatic amnesia. It’s common in cases like this, and while some memories may return, there’s no guarantee of full recovery.” His words sit heavy in my chest. I glance toward the bedroom bed, where Eloise sits, staring at her reflection in a mirror. The bruises and stitches stand out against her pale skin. With her free hand—the one not attached to the IV—she reaches up, fingers brushing over the shaved patch on her head. She swallows hard, her jaw tightening as she traces the row of stitches, her expression unreadable. “Oh, God,” she whispers, blinking rapidly. Her spine straightens, a feigned strength settling over her. “I . . . I don’t think I’d even pass as the Bride of Frankenstein . . . you know what they say, always a bridesmaid, never a . . .” Her voice falters. She tries to smile, but it’s shaky, failing before it even fully forms. Watching her like this—so

You really believe in that childish trick that if I turn it off and back on, the computer will magically start working?""I just wonder what you were watching that got a virus on it. P*rn? Now that you have a boyfriend, I guess that’s what you need to watch to keep him happy!""Are you serious right now?

You've been acting silly ever since " I grumbled. If not for the company’s strict policy to report every little issue through him, I wouldn’t even bother. His only job here is to be the middleman between us and the manager and I hated it had to be him. "You’re not as cute when you’re angry. Fine, I overreacted.

~Damien's POV~I spared a glance across the room. It was a large hall filled with people, beautifully decorated for tonight's event. I knew exactly what it was—and I was the reason behind it. Beside me sat Eva, not smiling at all. She only smiled when someone smiled at her—or when Brenda joined her side. The press kept snapping pictures. I just hoped they didn’t capture her scowling face—otherwise, tomorrow’s headlines would be something else. Instead of the typical colorful lighting used at parties, the hall was illuminated by bright white bulbs. It was almost time to exchange rings—the highlight of the night and the only reason we were throwing this party. “May I have your attention, please,” my father stepped forward, beckoning to the crowd. The room gradually quieted, and all eyes turned to him. “Thank you all for honoring me with your presence,” he began. “Today, as most of you know, is my son’s engagement day. He’s always busy with work, and I’m proud to have him as

~EVA'S POV~"Stay confident, honey. Today is your day," Brenda said, making me smile."The day I finally pay the last price for your mistake? Or the day I start paying it?" I asked, still smiling."You’ll never forgive me, will you? Anyway, I wish you happiness today—as your best friend," she chuckled. Her dress was shabby."Are you going to show up at my engagement looking like that?" I asked with concern."No," she said abruptly. "I'll wear one of my best friend's dresses.""You better be dreaming. Except for the red dress I'm wearing tonight, everything else is out for dry cleaning."She scampered over to my wardrobe and picked out a black short gown, silver heels, and a matching purse."Well, since these don't belong to you, I might never return them," she said, placing them on my bed. Once Brenda touched my clothes, they were as good as hers. That’s how she steals everything I own that she likes."Less I forget, Lucy is waiting for you in the dressing room," she chuckled.I left

EVA'S POVI woke up and noticed it was still five minutes before my alarm would go off. Groaning, I sat on my bed and ran my fingers through my hair. “This is not happening,” I muttered, recalling the events of yesterday. Did I actually agree to marry him just like that? I was sure I hadn’t slept a wink last night.I got out of bed and padded into the kitchen barefoot, finding only Sarah there.“Good morning, Sarah,” I greeted her, but she only nodded in response. She was busy preparing breakfast, and the other cooks weren’t around. I wanted to help, but I was just too exhausted.“Don’t worry, everything will be alright... You have me, okay?” she said, and I walked over to hug her. She giggled, and I returned to my room to get ready for work.On impulse, I leaned out my window to take in the morning air and sunshine, but my eyes landed on several unfamiliar cars parked outside the house. Please don’t let it be what I’m thinking...Yes! I have to talk to Chairman Huxley. I’ll te

Eva's POV"The son of the famous Alexandros has publicly accepted that he’s been dating Eva, the daughter of Chairman Huxley. The two lovebirds were spotted together yesterday. However, the rumor about her one-night stand with Michael appears to be false... The new officials have insisted..."I switched off the television. I didn’t want to hear any more. Heaving a sigh of relief, I headed to the family house. I had to obey the chairman and appear before him this morning as he requested. But instead of planning my marriage to Michael, things were finally changing, for the better."What did I hear? Is it true?" Dad asked in a tremulous voice the moment he saw me. To him, his prayers were about to be answered, why wouldn’t he be happy?"Why didn’t you tell me all this while? I even set up a blind date for you two. Ohhh, I see... you started dating from that day?" I kept nodding like a lost sheep."Say something, Eva!" Chairman Huxley said with h excitement. He was asking too many q

Eva's POVI stayed up almost all night thinking of Damien's proposal. In as much as I was tired of my father's troubles about getting married, I couldn't bring myself to signing a contract with a stranger.I stood up from my bed and headed to the kitchen. I almost forgot to eat again. Turning on the gas cooker, I placed the pot in the fire to make noodles—my favorite easily made meal. Within thirty minutes, I was done. I took my dinner to the sitting room and switched on the television.There must always be a news about us. To me, all the works the press do is centered on bringing to the world the life of the billionaires. The more secrets you expose, the higher your salary. I tuned in to the CBS news station.For some time, I only wanted to forget this all. I had to take a specific route to make my life perfect.The media doesn't care about whatever they publish in the news—whether it hurts you or breaks you, they don't give a damn."Don't worry, I listened to today's news," Serah sa

Damien’s POVGetting things ready for Camilla’s birthday party wasn’t a fair treat to me. She obviously wants everything. I had to start getting things ready for a birthday that is in two weeks' time. However, Coming out of the shopping mall, I noticed a lady hovering around my car.“What the hell are you doing?” I asked.“I’m so sorry, I mistakenly hit your car when…” She turned to tender her apology, and to my surprise, it was Eva. She must be surprised to see me too, given the way she stopped in the middle of her sentence. She slipped and fell on my bonnet.I stared at her as she made her way up. I wanted to hurt her… I wanted to hurt her so badly for thinking she could turn me down in such an embarrassing way.“Let’s grab a drink,” I said and headed to the nearest restaurant. She followed behind me, giving a reasonable space between us. It was quite annoying to me. It’s not like I’m a monster or we had an unpleasant past together.“So… we meet again,” she said. “I thought aft

_At Brenda’s apartment_ Eva’s POVI put the key I got from my office to the lock in Brenda’s house. I unlocked it and entered . “ Bitch “ I shouted. That was an informal way we both address ourselves. “Eva ! is that you? “ I heard her voice from the kitchen. She came out quickly and gave me a big hug. “ The way you barge in to my house scares me “ she said and looked at me from my head to toe. “ If that is the case , you won’t have given me your spare key!” I mocked “ Give it back then! ““ Give it back then” I mimicked carefully placing the key back to my handbag . She looked carefully at me with a worried face. I was exhausted and my face was showing it .“ Okay what’s going on? Omg they are not shutting you down are they? Because of…work, did your stock price fall or rise or something? What’s up with you girl, I know that face You look so … should I say depressed or exhausted” she was talking too fast .

Eva’s POVI woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I sluggishly slammed it off with my palm and continued with my sleep. About a few minutes later, I jumped off my bed like someone that had a terrible nightmare.“It’s 7:30 am already? Fuck!!!” I cussed out and rushed to the bathroom. Brushing my teeth and rushing through my bath, I dressed in a normal work corporate T-shirt, a jacket, and a pair of plain trousers, and then picked a handbag and shoes that suited perfectly with the color of my dress. I had her breakfast of sandwich and went to the sitting room to grab my car keys.“Hey Dad, good morning. I’m off to work, sir,” I greeted Chairman Huxley, my father. I was already used to calling him ‘sir’ since we work in the same place and he is the boss. Chairman Huxley was still sitting on the same couch as of the previous night. He stared at me for a while before ordering me to sit down on the couch opposite him.“I told you that you have a date today, didn’t I?” His hands g
