BARREN BILLIONAIRE'S EX WIFE, MOTHER OF TRIPLETS. Chapter twenty one
ELOISE Having the same birth mark doesn't necessarily mean that Luciano was the father of my kids . I mean I've never met him except when the kids were five already. That birth mark could be tattooed. I just don't want to think about it when I got home. And even after few days at home I couldn't still successful shove the thought out of my head. He said the same. That birthmark doesn't really mean he was the father. it's still puzzling to me what a grown ass man is doing in an amusement park. I got to the museum to see all my employees assembled Infront of a boiling tempered man. Luciano was really scolding grown men and women? I hurriedly rushed to the scene and furrowed my brows in anger. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" I questioned with a clenched fist.. "What does it look like Eloise? I should center my blame on you right now . How the hell are you running this place? I'm sorry if I'm crossing the line but excuse me? You don't make

ELOISE"Am I late?" I said two hours later of deliberately making Damon wait " No. It's ... fine. I arrived early, I was nearby remember?" Luciano then arrived. I almost thought he won't show up" Damon rolled his eyes " You came with him?"; He muttered in annoyance. " I honestly hope you don't mind?. He insisted to follow me around" I laughed gently Luciano smiled at me and pecked my cheeks . Now that I think about it, this was far way childish than I thought. He looked up at the waitress across and signalled, ," you can bring the food now to him" "I'm sorry, I ordered on my own . I hope that's alright, besides, I already know your favorite" The waiter dropped two servings of abundant seafood, with grilled fish, fried calamari, and spaghetti alle vongoleIt was actually once at the top list of my favorites. Damon's intentions were quiet clear this was the exact meal I always order at every of our anniversary. " You can fix something for

ELOISE As I stepped into the spacious, dimly lit office, my eyes fell on Mr. Luciano. He stood with a smug smile, his gaze unwavering as he watched me approach. There was something cold and calculated in his demeanor, the same sense of entitlement that seemed to surround him since the beginning. Even though I was very much aware of the fact that Mr.Luciano is a money grubber, I still wasn't expecting that level of betrayal.. "Gosh ! I'm so stupid" I smacked my forehead..I probably shouldn't believe Damon who was ready to do anything out of jealousy.. I took a deep breath, clutching the stack of documents in my hand, and tried to ignore the sinking feeling in my stomach. I couldn’t help but wonder if Damon had been right all along. His warnings about Mr. Luciano echoed in my mind, and while Damon’s jealousy often clouded his judgment, maybe this time he had been onto something. For the past few days, I hadn't realized that he was the one offering to buy my father's mansion thr

ELOISE "Marrying you would do no good to me..don't use the museum as an excuse. Your grandfather has be all over me and my children since we arrived Italy..But trust me, even though I do not know the father of my children, It couldn't have been you" His eyes suddenly lit up " Damon is not the father?" "I will take my leave now Luciano. Don't mistake my desperateness for brokenness.. I was very comfortable before all of this and a husband is not close to what I need now" "Just a year. Think about Eloise..That been said, I've vowed to protect you and the kids with my life just like your mother did " I rolled my eyes to him. " My mother?" I quivered.. I've been so annoyed at nature for it took away my mom few months after my birth.. " I'm really sorry for what I'm about to say Eloise.. few years ago, your mom had jumped into the fire at the kitchen restaurant to save me and my mom who suddenly passed out while cooking according to autopsy " I held my breath knowing fully

LUCIANO I watched my late wife's grandfather walk round the sleek silver range coover I had just had delivered. A supercar, it was the ultimate boy-toy, for only ten would ever be built. The older man’s excitement was rare. I already know how much he adores new rides so I got it as a bribe sort of "A car that costs almost a half of a million.’ grandpa said, he stood tall and straight in spite of his seventy-five years, "Luci, It does my heart good to see you taking an interest in such things again! Did you fall In love recently? I smirked but said nothing in response to that leading comment. "I wouldn't be surprised if you have dear... Gossip columnists regularly referred to the billionaire head of the halmart software company as beautiful. " I hated the press..but loved how good they praised me. I sure have that lean, bronzed features which might have a breathtaking symmetry that turned female heads wherever I

ELOISE "we are not getting paid on time?" Matthew asked with a very bewildered look.."that can't happen. I have a loan interest..I have to pay for my kid's academy and they are even preparing for their first camp. I can't let my kids miss their first camping. Why are you all not saying anything? " The other workers either stood or paced around in anger "Felicia say something. You have your mother's hospital bill to take care of. Infact you even need it worst than I do. So why are not bothered?" I decided to step in. It's been two weeks since their salary was due. " I'm sorry for all this time," I apologized"Dl you really not have money?".Ann asked.with a sassy tone.. "Excuse me?" "It's just unbelievable to understand that the best curator I'm U.S is fucking broke! That designer bag you have took me six months to save up . If you sell everything you are wearing now including your jewelries, it could pay us for four months and you'd have some money left"

LUCIANO Eloise ls was absent again at dinner, but since I didn’t want to worry to the kids I told them she was at the office, working late again.. I still haven't adjusted to suddenly moving from bachelorhood to fatherhood. Not just to one or two but three kids.. My trust issue made me send their nanny away and now I even have to drive them back from school! "Why is mom very busy this days, Dad?" "Dad" I had to be touched to realize I was the dad they are calling. I would have laughed at the reality but I had to be an adult.. "She's preparing uhhh...for her best friends birthday" I stuttered at the Triplets with the same night wear. I could barely differentiate who Giana was from Kiara. " But mommy doesn't have any friends. only her sister visits her" " Right... She made new friend. You won't want your mom to bed lonely right?" "She has you now or do you plan to abandon us again? " "Nooo... Nope. I won't do that " I stuttered. At least not jus

LUCIANOThe sound of the triplets' laughter faded into the background as I scrubbed at the dishes, they should take their time to fall asleep . Trying to force them to bed would only turn the table round and they'd force me to read a bedtime story ...it has happened not just once. I might not be that bad at parenting. Or maybe I'm just too lovable that the triplets had already gotten attached to me in few days. Sadly,I still couldn't get my mind off with thoughts of Eloise. This tension between us—it was suffocating. It's been awkward since the past few days after we signed the wedding contract agreement. It became even worst two days ago that she'd barely come home untill late at night. But what could I do? Push her? Force her to tell me what was wrong? That would only push her further away.As I stacked the plates, my phone buzzed again. A sense of unease gripped me as I wiped my hands and picked it up. This time, it wasn’t Eloise that texted. It was James.. He

LUCIANO"I don't know why she's here but it's definitely unlike her. She never visited you before" James said trembling on his feet. "Well let her in ofcourse" Eloise was probably trying to get to know more about herself. She was always busy running her museum and I am always the one visiting to help out and strategize but today she came and I am glad she found time to visit. "I wasn't expecting you El" I said with a smile ushering her to seat at the cushion while I abandoned my work to join her. However instead of reciprocated smile, I got a slap on my cheek instead and I could only scoff. "Did you know about this?" She asked and hands her tabs over to me. " If you were going to lie to me, to deceive me just because of money, you could have atleast had a rethink. I almost died but all you and your family care about is purchasing every piece of land around the museum "I got really annoyed but I won't blame her. She was at her most vulnerable state that she could easily be decei

ELOISELuciano wouldn't have sex with me and it still bothers me. Does he chest on me or something? I'm sure I know men enough to realize that they never keep their stuff under their pants. I didn't want to lose my husband to the hands of a random slut . Even though I insisted that we stay in the same room, he sleeps on the couch and leaves the king sized bed for him But tonight I won't let him. I'm a human too and I'm sure he is! I was about to break the king silence before luckily he spoke up. "It's unlike you to insist on sharing the same room with me. I guess the accident really messed with your head" Luciano said with a chuckle as he lay on the couch close to the television. " No. I just feel a married couple should share a bed. I don't know how shitty my personality have been while we are married but I do appreciate that you saved me from my ex-husband. That asshole would have manipulated his way into my life again" I said . I already heard from the news about all that hap

LUCIANO.“Had Eloise been drinking on the night that she lost control of the car?” Lazio asked. I and Alex sat in an Irish pub a few blocks from my office.. Alex was on his second scotch and water. “Nope. For some reasons she had sworn not to take alcohol anymore " “What about Florence?” he asked, wondering about the woman who no one seemed to know. Eloise's employee. “No one knows what she’d been doing but there was a little alcohol in her bloodstream. Not much.” From the booth where we sat, my gaze followed a couple of guys who were throwing darts near the back of the bar."Eloise and she were close?” “As close as Eloise gets I suppose, but from work I think she's the one that relates more with Eloise” Alex swirled his drink. Ice cubes danced in the weak light. “El, didn’t have a lot of friends.”That surprised Lazio “She sure as hell got a lot of cards and flowers in the hospital”“It’s expected. We’re pretty high-profile around here.” I yanked at the knot of my tie .C

The lab coat was a couple of sizes too big, but it didn’t matter. It was all the camouflage I needed. One of the burn ward nurses hadn’t shown up for duty tonight—her car had been disabled, her cell phone stolen—and the other two were run ragged as the hospital searched for staff to fill the void. By the time they managed that, I’d be finished. The lights were too bright for my liking, but there wasn’t much I could do about that. I shoved a pair of tortoise-rimmed glasses onto my nose. Slipping into my role of intern easily, I walked with confidence. The name tag on my lapel and picture were of Charles Steve. I figured no one would notice that the image on the card didn’t match my face as I strode with the authority of someone who knew what they were doing. That I belonged. What a joke. I’d never belonged anywhere. Had always been on the outside looking in. Well now I wasn’t only looking, I was fucking pounding on the window. Near the burn ward, I lingered in an alcove, then

ELOISE I remember this place. The car sped up a narrow, winding street to the summit of Pian dei Giullari and my heart leaped as I caught my first glimpse of the house mounted at the most prestigious point on the ridge. Yes, yes, yes! I’d been here before—I was sure of it. Since leaving the hospital, I’d been in a foul mood, but some of that was dissipating as fragments of memory—tickles of my past—flashed behind my eyes. There was a ring… I glanced down at my left hand, frowning. Not the diamonds glittering there, but a simpler band I recalled. And there were other things, walking in a building filled with different paintings. I was a curator after all. so I was told. Less than thirty minutes ago, when I’d been driven out of the hospital, trepidation had settled deep inside me. Even as Alex helped me to calm, , I couldn’t shake the unease curling in my gut. he’d driven us away, past the lush greenery of Golden Gate Park, through the gingerbread Victorians of Ha

Eloise’s POv Five days later, I was finally getting ready to be released. Dr. Sage had run every test imaginable, seemed satisfied with the results, and now I was just waiting for the paperwork and a ride. The door to my hospital room creaked open, and a man poked his head inside. “Mrs. Eloise?” he asked. “I’m Detective Lazio, Firenze Provincia Police Department.” My heart plummeted. He stepped inside, dressed in dark slacks with a jacket tossed over a casual shirt. He would be full of questions. Questions I had no answers for. My head was clearer now, but the glimpses I had into my past were like the flame of a lighter running out of fuel—images would spark and sputter, flicker and die, leaving me with nothing. He flashed his badge, and my stomach twisted. “Sorry to bother you here at the hospital,” Lazio apologized. He had a hound-dog face, deep brown eyes, and a solemn, concerned expression. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but I wasn’t buying it. I remembered Lau

DAMON Panic clawed at my throat, suffocating me. I paced the length of the warehouse, my fingers digging into my scalp as I tried to silence the chaos in my head. The room smelled of gunpowder and damp concrete, the flickering overhead lights casting shadows that seemed to grow. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Luciano wasn’t supposed to get this far. He was supposed to be dead. I should have killed him a long time ago! I raked my hands through my hair, my breaths coming in sharp, uneven gasps. "Calm down Damon" "Mother, don't tell me to calm down . You have no idea what's going to on.. if Luciano decides to crush me after all this, it won't take more than 24 hours " " Glad you know that well enough before you started your obsession with your ex wife , whom is now his wife. stay clear of those people, I warned. For your sake, I will pray that his grandfather never gets involved because if he does, your name will change to Damon doom and GED will change from being b

ELOISE The silence in the house was unbearable. I tried all I could to stay calm but it was nearly impossible. "should I read you some smut romance? " Laura asked. "you use to love them and they did a great deal in calming you down whenever you had needed it. " Laura please... are you my best friend or what? can't you see this isn't what I need right now? I red to pee aswell " "Yes I'm your best friend and no I can't see. how would I know if the things you use to love suddenly changes overnight and you don't love them anymore including people. I will take you to the bathroom " Laura sounded like she was really pissed off. she took me to the bathroom and watched as I peed.. what the hell happened to privacy? I asked but she managed to take me to the bed when I was done and gave me the privacy I was dying for. according to her though. I sat on the edge of the bed, my arms wrapped around myself, trying to drown out the thoughts swirling in my mind. The moment Luciano had stor

Luciano’s POVThe air inside the SUV was thick with tension as we sped toward the abandoned estate. The rhythmic hum of the tires against the road did nothing to quiet the storm raging inside me. My fingers curled tightly around the leather of my seat, my jaw clenched so hard it ached. Every passing second felt like a blade scraping against my skin. My children were out there, scared, alone, and in the hands of a man who had long overstayed his welcome in this world. Damon thought he could take them from me. That I would kneel. That I would break. He was about to learn how wrong he was. Alex sat beside me, double-checking his weapons. His usual cocky smirk was gone, replaced by a sharp, lethal focus. “Scouts say there are at least six men on guard,” he muttered, not looking up. “But they’re sloppy. They’re not expecting an ambush.” I nodded, my mind already running through the attack plan. “We go in fast, silent. No unnecessary casualties.” I exhaled slowly. “But if anyone t
