BARREN BILLIONAIRE'S EX WIFE, MOTHER OF TRIPLETS. Chapter thirty-one
ELOISE .I couldn't pretend anymore that I wasn't disturbed by the groaning sound of pain coming from Eloise's room. it was also almost as if she was muffling a cry silently, like she was suppressing it enough for anyone not to notice. I waited another beat before I opened the door with a quiet creak. I flicked the corridor light on The sound didn't go away. I thought about it but I don't remember saying anything to hurt her feelings .was I too cold towards her? I stopped outside her room and rapped my knuckles against the door in case Eloise was indecent. But I got no answer. I hesitated for a moment, my hand resting on the doorframe. “Eloise?” I called softly, careful not to alarm her. Still, no answer.Pushing the door open a fraction wider, I stepped inside. I've never entered there since she moved in.. The room was bathed in the soft amber glow of her bedside lamp. Apart from the furnitures that I'd fixed on the room, there was a library or I could jus

LUCIANOI've known Eloise for months and this is the first time I've seen her this weak and vulnerable. I excused myself and returned about thirty minutes later to still find her in the same curled up position.. “Feel better?” The words came out strangely for me because she wasn't looking like she was. “Mmhmm.” she nodded and at the same time winced and clutched her pillow closer to her abdomen, her face screwed with pain. Fuck it. Even the medicine hasn't reduced the cramps. I literally have no idea how Katherine managed her cramps or Laura. Or it probably isn't the same for all women.. Looking at Eloise, it was obvious she was going though terrible Pains and I wouldn't totally mind her passing it to me or sharing it with her if that was possible I walked around the room and scanned the amenities lined up on the marble counter , I could’ve sworn I saw—aha. I picked up the tiny bottle of olive oil and returned to Eloise side. She had kept it in a co

ELOISEI squinted at the bedside clock. 12:00 PM? Seriously?A thick fog of grogginess clung to me as I tried to move, but something—no, someone's arm was pressing against my waist. I froze, confusion clouding my thoughts. I couldn’t remember the last time I woke up with a guy in my bed. Actually, I could. It was five years ago. But this was different.The arm around me was solid, warm, and strangely comforting, as if it could shield me from whatever danger I could encounter . He smelled... incredible. A soft sigh slipped from my lips as I snuggled closer to the warm body, not quite ready to face reality. I kept my eyes closed, curling into the warmth. The arm tightened around me, pulling me closer still until back pressed flush against a solid haired chest, and I could feel his breath stir the hairs on my neck. I melted, but then—Wait.Who was this? What happened last night?I could barely get my brain to work, my thoughts sluggish and hazy. I shifted a little, touching somet

ELOISEDamon hadn't called, texted or bugged me. He finally probably understand everything now. That it was all over between us. Now I have to figure it how to get my house back. I'd use my period as an excuse for not Cooking..I only managed to wash the kids up while Luciano did all the cooking and tidying up.. he hated take out and I have noticed that he loves making food himself.. Like it was some destressing exercise. "Your number was not going through and we were all really worried that something has happened to you" Felicia said the moment I sat in my officeTwo days of being away from reality was absolutely Worth it. " I had other things to sort out" I replied and continued staring at the file that has picked my interest. There wasn't even the slightest increase in the earnings. I stayed until 6pm so I could pick my things that Yanet had sent from the states. The sun had already dipped below the horizon by the time I loaded the last box into my tr

ELOISE "What's wrong with you Eloise. Are you okay" Luciano questioned the moment he saw me put ony shade" Nothing. Can't I go to work in style?" I lied walking hurriedly outside. ,,He gave me a furrowed gaze like he could swear l esse lying. " El. Ummm ... I ... Well you look good in it I'm just curious that you came back tired yesterday, ignored every damn person and went ahead to sleep_" "Mmm... About that. I was just really exhausted. I'm sorry I got you worried. " ,"Worried my ass " he muttered, I feel like the last thing Luciano would ever admit to was caring for me. He might not really love me though but right from the moment we met. He cared. He worried. "Hey Eloise" Luciano's dark eyes stared to my soul. I would have loved to get rid of my shade to see his beautiful eyes more clearly and naturally but he was damn going to freak out if he sees the bruise I had in my eyes. "What happened Mr. Luciano " his face frowned and he shifted like he was slig

LUCIANO "After the sudden death of Mr. Martin Harrington, the gallery has been I'm a sudden financial rut . It has even caused loan sharks to create a scene aswell and now the gallery has defused to pay it's workers well enough " I scoffed silently as I watched the news . The Media really have no better talent in minding Thier business.. "The problem isn't actually the gallery, the incompetence of the new director who failed to recognize and provide a solution is the problem " "She hid her assets and focused on shopping more luxury items" I'd suggest that this press would be given Eloise's position in a year let see if they could achieve what she was able to in few months. That is, it they won't give in to pressure and it off. I was fucking pissed and almost turned off the television but they decided to go more specific. I was also curious about her yesterday. "Yesterday around 7-8pm while she was returning from one of her shopping spree, she was robbed

ELOISE I moved slowly away from Luciano to answer my phone and his eyes kept fixed on my mouth like he was going read every single word I say.. "I was worried when I heard the news so I came right over" "Alex? Where are you?" I stuttered. "You had another guest so I was waiting. I guess I din't need to worry" he said like he was a little disappointed. "No. You can come in Alex. he's just..." "Don't worry about it." he paused for a while. "Hey, pookie, I know you are not okay. what can I do for you? You want me to ruin that newscaster's career or shut down the news channel?" Now this sounded more like the old Alex I knew. The one who would do every thing possible within his mean to pay an eye for an eye . " I will take care of it Alex. besides I'm not a baby any more, so you need not to worry about me" I assured. "Fine" he grunted " I will make sure to catch the asshole that did this to you and trust me, he won't live to talk about what I will do to him " I swallowe

ELOISE "Fine. But Luciano" I furrowed my brows. " How do I tell you that you are overreacting just a tiny little bit? Alex is my best friend. " "What?" "Don't think about it. Meanwhile, Alex just texted me that the thief has been caught and I should head straight to the station to identify them" "I'm coming with you" he said and adjusted his tie. "No you are not, Luciano. I've got this under control " he scoffed. Luciano was a very stubborn one. He got to the station even before I could get there by taxi. "It wasn't me, okay? I have repeatedly confessed that I'm innocent. Damn it! How do you even call yourself cops? Do you have any proof" "Shut your fucking mouth and wait for her to come here and decide whether you are innocent or not. You better be though" . Luciano slammed his hands on the desk while his legs shook restlessly. I wasn't sure if I was ready to see the brutal face from yesterday, I stayed at the entrance a little bit without being noticed.

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
