BARREN BILLIONAIRE'S EX WIFE, MOTHER OF TRIPLETS. chapter twelve
ELOISEThe evening sky was heavy, and soon after I left the office, it began to drizzle. The street looked bleak under the hazy, misting rain, making the streetlights seem dimmer.I sat in the driver’s seat, one hand on the wheel, the other propped up beside the window.It was fair enough that the restaurant for the blind date wasn’t far from the museum.I pulled into the parking spot of Octopus Restaurant and stepped out, walking with even, graceful strides. My eyes roamed over the restaurant, and I couldn’t help but wonder why on earth he chose an octopus restaurant of all places.“I don’t eat octopus; I’m allergic to it,” I reminded myself again, mentally rehearsing what I’d say if he ordered something that didn’t sit well with me.Something like an octopus. I haven’t been to Italy for a while, but I never imagined octopus would still be sold in the twenty-first century. I can’t wrap my head around it.I quickened my pace as my eyes settled on a corner table where a man was waiting

ELOISEMy heart was heavy as I grabbed the business card from her trembling hands, my fingers shaking slightly as I held it up to the light. His name stared back at me, bold and indifferent: Damon Huxley. CEO of GED.My world felt like it was spinning; my mind went back to the argument, the painful memory, the lie, and his betrayal.He had no right to take them—no right at all. I swallowed hard, feeling a rage rise within me.“How could you let him take my children without calling me first?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, the panic making it hard to soften my tone.The nanny’s face crumpled. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. He... he said he was their father, and he seemed so calm. I didn’t think…”I barely heard her explanation. How the hell did she believe that? My mind was already three steps ahead. I grabbed my phone, dialing his number with a desperation I couldn’t control. It rang endlessly without an answer.The room felt colder, my frustration increasing with every second of s

LUCIANO "Boss, your date was perfectly ruined. I could see from her facial expression that she won't want anything to do with halmart again" "James! Don't tell me you are serious right now?" I gritted my teeth..I forgot to ask him not to go on the date since she happened to be Eloise. "You asked me to do that ! By the way, her gallery was beautiful. I enjoyed every single painting I saw there and I bet you, that ticket didn't go to waste. " " Don't be ridiculous! I barely saw any paint on the paper. I didn't understand any single thing. Gosh" I snorted. "You are not supposed to understand art, Luciano. Wait, are we having this conversation as friends or as your employee? I don't want to risk being fired for the 60th time this year" I ignored him and poured myself a glass of whisky inside a glass cup filled halfway with blocks of ice. "I guess it's the former since you are drinking whiskey in front of your employee which is definitely against the work c

Five years was enough to find someone. Maybe James was right. I'd have to let the woman at that billionaire's party go. And whenever she decides to show up, I would compensate her with enough money. "Have you seen how adorable those kids are? You won't hesitate to love them once you set your eyes on them. I wonder which idiot left her to care for the children alone. " Obviously her ex- husband. But grandfather's excitement made me think this was some sort of buy one and get three free kind of deal. He might not have been aware that Eloise was once married. Grandfather finally allowed me to go, and I drove down the lonely route to my house. I slowed down the moment I sighted Eloise walking sluggishly as if she could collapse at any moment. She should be able to handle enough pressure as a director. I drove closer the the pedestrian walk and whine down my window before popping my head out a little. " I see you have made my money seeing how early you are leaving work"

ELOISE "we are here" I announced once we got to the shopping mall. Luciano halted the car and I gently alighted. "Thank you for the ride" I said, waved at him before walking to the mall. I had to buy a new pair for work tomorrow. However, when I entered the mall, I looked back to see Luciano behind me. "Are you following me now?" I cringed "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just looking to know if there's new stock I would like. You might not know this, but I come here quite often I'm a diamond level customer " "Fine I don't need to know all that details . I already told you, I won't runaway with your money" I smacked my head. I was really getting impatient at his pettiness. "I know... It's just that I'd like to get back my shoes. It's really important to me you know. But it's fine, you've got to bring them to me tomorrow. Okay?" "Yes, sur

Luciano I took almost an hour before I could get Eloise to spill were her address was. I felt really bad for asking her to drink with me. I would have left her to be. When I got to her father's mansion, I pressed the door bell and the lady I met at her house in Italy came to get the door. It makes more sense to me now. She was the nanny. Eloise was probably the owner of the house. "Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed. "She's going to be fine in the morning. She just had a lot to drink " she nodded in panic like she has never seen her in that condition. Thank God the kids were fast asleep, I wouldn't have imagined the look that would be on their face seeing their mother like that .. Her room was cozy. I lay her on the bed, tucking the divorce perfectly on her body. "Thank you sir. For helping her out. I really appreciate that she has someone in this difficult time. She normally refused help from anyone" I shoved the hangover soup I bought to her h

ELOISEWhatever happened and how I got home that night was something I couldn't remember. No matter how much I tried. But I woke up to see Laura right beside me. With a towel on my head. I couldn't believe my eyes. Whether I was hallucinating or something.. " Laura?" "Yes, it's your bestie. Why the hell did you drink so much? Luckily I found you. Could you have staggered back to your home or are you not worried about your kids anymore?" I sprang up from bed. I swear I didn't plan to drink but it felt quite comforting when I drank with Luciano. After my night stand, I vowed not to take any alcoholic drink anymore. But Luciano made me do it again after five years and now ... Gosh. However I needed it. After Luciano's drama at the company and my father's employees almost backing off from me, I knew I needed something to ease off my thoughts. "What the hell are you doing here? You are supposed to be in Florida. " "My boss screwed me up so I'm back to my

ELOISEI rolled my eyes in both annoyance and disbelief. "I have nothing to do with Damon again. I shall have nothing to do with him so whether I love him or not isn't gonna change anything" After eating, the children came back to the sitting room with colorful outfits " mommy are we still going to the amusement park?" I blinked repeatedly with a smirk " uhhh ..Yes. I will go freshen up. All of you should sit quietly on the couch. Emphasis on the quietly especially you Giana. If you run around recklessly, I might not take you with me" Giana's face furrowed as she quietly went to sit alone at a couch. Giana was the most stubborn of the triplet. I use to think it would be my boy but surprisingly Nicole has been supportive as if he knew I was doing this alone. He obeys every single word I say and make sure his sister's does the same since probably because he's the oldest. Or feel that he is the man. Kiara was the least troublesome. When she was still little,

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

DamienI stood there, staring at Eva like she’d just slapped me. My mind struggled to catch up with her words, the bitter taste of rejection already curdling on my tongue.She said no.Those words she was saying were her only way if rejecting my proposal. I clenched my fists under the table, forcing myself not to flip the damn thing over. My jaw ached from how tightly I was grinding my teeth, and I had to remind myself that losing control here, in public, would only give the paparazzi a field day.What the hell just happened?Without a word, I shoved back my chair and stormed out of the restaurant. The night air hit my face like a splash of ice water, but it did nothing to calm the fire burning in my chest. I needed a drink.A bar sat just around the corner.I slid into a booth and ordered the strongest thing on the menu. The burn of whiskey down my throat matched the sting in my pride.“She rejected me,” I muttered under my breath, swirling the amber liquid in the glass. “Who the he

Eva Amidst fury and anger boiling inside of me, I walked out of my car towards the Handro Group's hotel with so much calmness that you could mistake the day as my happiest.I entered the Sandro's big luxurious restaurant and looked around in search of my blind date. I picked up my phone from my black leather handbag and dialed the last number my father sent to me. “Over here”, A man signaled with his hands. I went towards the direction of his hand. I was nervous. No that’s not the word to explain how I am feeling right now. I was rather annoyed. Caressing my bumps , I assured myself the hundredth time . It must end up like the others .“Hello” I greeted and reluctantly sat on the chair opposite his . He was my third blind date I'm a row. Father wouldn't give me a breathing space about giving him an heir.“I think I might like you” he said with a big smile. ”Eva right?” he snaps his finger, still smiling. His arrogant attitude was already driving me crazy . If only he knew who he w

LUCIANOThe news anchor’s voice crackled from the flat screened television in the corner of the room. "Mrs. Claire, who has been wanted for the past several months, was finally apprehended yesterday. Authorities confirmed she is the prime suspect in the murder of her mother-in-law..."I clicked off the TV and turned to Eloise. She lay sprawled across our queen-sized bed, one arm flung over her face like she was shielding herself from my gaze. I folded my arms. “Are you happy now, Eloise?”She peeked at me from beneath her forearm, her lips twitching into a sheepish smile. “I’m sorry, honey. I wasn’t thinking. It’s not like I planned it, who knew the country’s most sought-after murderer would walk into the restaurant like that?”I stared at her, my jaw clenched. “And who knew the most wanted murderer could’ve stabbed you in the throat while you were trying to be nice? You can’t keep throwing yourself into danger just because your heart’s made of gold. People aren’t always worth

ELOISEI couldn't contain my shock, I walked back to the sit .“Sorry, but that seat’s taken,” I said, trying to keep my voice even. “i just stepped out.”She didn’t blink. , no shift in posture, she just sat there like she hadn't heard a word I say I subtly caught Laura’s gaze and gave her a sharp nod. Her hand slipped into her purse, fingers curling around her phone. I needed her to call 911 while I keep Claire with me.I leaned forward. “You’re not going to stand?”She didn’t move.“There are other places to stick your ass, lady. This isn’t your husband’s bar.” her tone sharpened, slicing through the air between us.I tilted her head slightly, “Well, it is,” she said slowly. “Get up by the way, you look familiar.”“Do I know you?” she asked, her face still hidden beneath her hood and a curtain of hair.I squinted. “Ain’t you the trash lady? You took my trash one time.”“Excuse me?” Her voice dropped a register.“I’m sure it’s you. I don’t forget faces.”Her lips curled. “I do

ELOISELaura's birthday party started later than I'd anticipated. They should have started without our presence but for no reason they waited in the sitting room untill I walked back in with Luciano my hair looking all messed up.There was barely enough time for me to shower and pick out my outfits and since I don't want to dress like the main character on her day, I really needed extra time to pick an outfit.I ended up choosing a short red dress and for God's sake Luciano still stared at me like I stole the show. "Why don't we go to a double date tonight? I've always wanted to do that with Eloise but she's always the one with boyfriends""I came down here because this party is also for me. I'd have driven you out of not" Luciano rolled his eyes. I've still not understood why this two siblings are always on each others neck but when I had my accident and needed help, they walked perfectly together. "Honey, it's your sister's birthday. Besides I also want a double date with her boy

LUCIANO"But why?" Eloise asked I mounted the stairs to join her on the landing. Without hesitation, I closed light hands to her shoulders and turned her away from the direction in which she had been about to head. "Our bedroom is this way" I said. "It’s been a really, really lovely day… luci. "As Alex's shocking relationship swam back into my memory like a giant man-eating shark, I was silenced. Thankfully not like I ever doubted her, Eloise doesn't have a thing at all for Alex. I guess I can be less insecure about that her one friend I couldn't get rid of. ‘The very best…"I agreed, with remarkable restraint. " I spent so much time getting you guys gift. I honestly hope it's loved"With careful hands I turned her back to face me and then bent down and swept her up into my arms."What on earth are you doing? Everyone's watching" Eloise gasped.‘I like the fact you’re mine and you need to relax Eloise, we are legally married now. " I shared, striding down the corridor and shoul

ELOISE"He is really cute so I asked him to be my boyfriend "" You chose him just because he's cute?" " Yes mommy, isn't that why you married Daddy?""Well..." I paused, she really caught off guard, "that was part of the reason."My little girl giggled, swinging her leg happily, as she talked to Nicole "See! Then it's okay if I pick someone cute too."I raised an eyebrow, trying not to smile. "Sweetheart, being cute is nice, but what really matters is how someone treats you. Does he make you laugh? Is he kind to you?"Giana nodded seriously. "He gave me the red crayon when he saw I wanted it. And he shared his pudding at lunch.""Wow," I said with a mock gasp, leaning in. "Sharing pudding? That’s true love right there."The little girl beamed. "I know, right? We're getting married at recess tomorrow."Her mom burst out laughing. "Well, I better start planning the wedding, huh?""Yes, but no kissing. That’s gross.""Deal," I said, ruffling her hair, and still grinning at how quickly

ELOISEI crossed my arms, my voice sharper than I intended. “I don’t like how I feel about this. When did you two… start, uh—dating? Or fucking?”Laura’s scoff was instant, her eyes narrowing. “Wow. So what? You think Alex can’t love me? Or that he’s too good for me?” Her voice cracked on the last word, a waver betraying how close she was to crying.She blinked rapidly , her lips trembling. I wasn’t angry, I was just confused. I never imagined them together. Alex, who once rolled his eyes at everything Laura said. Laura, who used to call him a “walking red flag.” Now here they were, all soft smiles and intertwined fingers like a cheesy rom-com come to life.Alex wrapped an arm around her, pulling her into his chest. She let him. I let out a humorless laugh, biting the inside of my cheek.“Eloise,” he said gently, like someone trying to reason with a feral cat. “We’re adults. This isn’t something you need to freak out about. She’s your friend.”“And so are you, Alex!” I snapped. “Don’t
