Kamille's POV As I gazed into Zeke's eyes, I realized how easy it was for me to trust him. His reassuring touch on my hands after the call made me question everything. Was he always like this? Or had he changed? It felt as though I was meeting him for the first time. You cannot compare who a person is when they love you and when they don't love you. Because they are two completely different people. The wise words of my grandma Monica echoed in my mind like a comforting melody. As I pondered these thoughts, questions crept into my mind like shadows in the night. Did Zeke truly love me? Could I allow myself to believe in his love completely? “Kamille, are you okay?” Zeke's voice broke through my reverie, pulling me back to the present moment. His concern was evident in the furrow of his brow and the gentle squeeze of his hand. I offered him a small smile, masking the turmoil within. “I'm fine, just tired.” “Come on. You need to rest.” He said and held me towards the private

Kamille's POVLike a whirlwind, the memory that Zeke is still married to Ellen hit me. How could I have entertained such thoughts, even for a moment? Zeke was a married man, and I was simply his ex and nothing more! What was I even thinking? I let emotions that engulfed me since Royer's accident cloud my mind.Fuck! Turning to Zeke, I managed to compose myself. “I really appreciate your gesture, but don't worry, Zeke. I'll call my friends over and over. I'm sure they'll love to help out with the kids. I don't want to inconvenience you more than I already have.”As I spoke, I located my purse that was brought in by his security alongside the kids. I take out my phone“I'll be waiting outside for you.” He said, taking a step towards the door.I was about to nod, but something inside me hesitated.Did he not hear me turn down his offer? “Zeke.” I called out. “You really do not have to stay.” I said, my voice firm. There's a moment of silence between us, his gaze searching mine for an

Ellen's POV As we stepped out of the black luxury limousine, the buzz of excitement enveloped us. I flashed a smile towards the cameras, waving graciously to those who cared. I don't give a fuck about anyone of them. Trying to keep up with my elegant poses and fake smiles, my attention was quickly diverted as I noticed the way the ladies were swooning over Gabriel. He had always been a dickhead and known for his playboy attitude. Suppressing a snort of disgust, I reminded myself to keep my feelings in check.Walking hand in hand with my father, I felt a sense of pride and anticipation. Tonight is Liz's fight day, and the atmosphere crackled with electricity. My mother, on the other hand, is linked arm in arm with Gabriel, who's basking in the attention. As we made our way into the arena, we were guided to the front row seats reserved for our family. The view was perfect, and I could feel the excitement building within me. Tonight was not just about Liz's fight; it's about suppor

Zeke's POVWalking in after Kamille into the room, we saw the kids still playing with themselves despite their tired selves.“We tried to talk them out of it.” Kamille's friend said. That should be Amanda.“It's fine Amy. They'll be staying at Zeke's penthouse not too far from here. I trust you guys to take care of them for me?” She asked, wearing a smile.“Hmm.” They both nodded in response. “We got this.” The other friend concurred.“Thank you Belle.” Kamille replied.As Belle and Amanda prepared to take Roen, Tyris, and Torin to my penthouse, the kids protested, insisting they wanted to stay with Royer. “But Royer needs us.” Torin pleaded, his voice trembling with worry.“And I just want to be with Royer!” Tyris squealed.“Mum, can we not just stay here?” Reon asked with no drama.Before Kamille could respond, I knelt down, meeting their gaze with understanding. “I know you want to be with Royer, but he needs rest right now. My penthouse is just a few steps away from the hospital,

Zeke's POVJonathan's expression shifted to one of disbelief as he continued. “Yeah, word has spread like wildfire all over the hospital that your kid was admitted into the hospital, and that you, in fact, have four kids with your ex-wife! Zeke, we saw your ex-wife! I thought she was dead?”What the hell was he talking about? As Jonathan offered me a seat and asked if I wanted coffee, I nodded numbly, my mind racing with a thousand questions. “Yeah, black coffee and make it strong, please.” I murmured, barely able to form coherent thoughts.A small smile graced Jonathan's lips as he replied. “I know exactly how you like it.”As he was about to step out to prepare the coffee, I couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration and anxiety building within me. “Hold your horses now.” I said, my voice tinged with urgency. “What do you mean it has spread round the hospital like wildfire?”Jonathan chuckled softly, the sound echoing in the small office. “Of course, don't you know gossip takes

Kamille's POVI had just finished having my bath, stepping out of the bathroom, I couldn't help but allow my eyes linger on on all the things Zeke had put in place for me. He got me toiletries, towels, nightwear, comfortable flips, pillows, the soft bed and even the fact that we were in a private ward in the hospital. He was very thoughtful and caring.Hush now, don't overthink it. I sighed.I dressed up and stepped out of the bathroom back into the room. I looked over at Royer, he was sleeping peacefully.I turned my attention to the bed and tried to smoothen out the wrinkles in the bed. Taking a deep breath, I finally settled into bed, the softness enveloping me like a comforting embrace. “Damn, this is quite relieving.” I whispered to myself.The entire day was dramatic enough and all I needed was a peaceful night's rest. But before I could grace that realm, my phone buzzed with a flurry of notifications. Frowning, I picked it up to see a string of missed calls and texts from Chr
Barren Heiress Returns With Quadruplet Thirty eight
Kamille's POVSuddenly my phone blared loudly, I rushed to pick it up, careful not to wake Royer who was sleeping soundly nearby. Zeke's presence lingered in the room, his eyes watching me with a mixture of concern and curiosity. Although he was divorced, it still didn't change shit. I still ensured my privacy was intact as I attended to the ringing phone.I answered the call, relief flooding through me as Christopher's voice filled the line. “What happened? I've been trying to reach you.” He exclaimed, his worry evident in his tone.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself before responding. “Don't worry. I'm fine.” I reassured him, feeling a pang of guilt for not responding to his earlier attempts to contact me. “It was Royer, he got injured, but he's receiving treatment now and he's okay.”There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Chris spoke again, his voice tinged with remorse. “I'm sorry, I didn't know.” He said softly, his words heavy with regret.“It's

Kamille's POVAs I walked back into the hospital room, memories of the past flooded my mind, each one more bittersweet than the last. I couldn't help but think back to the early days of the Reid Children Foundation, when Zeke and I had just started the organization together.I remembered the excitement and anticipation we had felt as we worked tirelessly to gather the first set of drugs and supplies for the foundation's inauguration. Despite my confusion over why the foundation had been started after our marriage, I had obediently followed Zeke's lead.But even as we worked side by side, there had always been a distance between us, a coldness in Zeke's demeanor that I couldn't quite understand. Our arranged marriage had never been based on love, and the rumors that had circulated about us in the blogosphere only served to deepen the divide between us.Now, as I lay down on the bed and pulled the covers tightly around me, I couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness that enveloped me lik

Barren Heiress Returns With Quadruplet A Beautiful Ending
Belle's POV The sun was warm on my skin, the breeze gentle and soothing as it drifted through the open patio where we all sat, the laughter of our loved ones filling the air. It was a picture-perfect moment—the kind of moment I used to dream about but never truly believed would come. We were all gathered around the long, sun-dappled table, the warmth of the day reflecting the joy that radiated from everyone’s faces. Zane was sitting beside me, his hand resting comfortably on my leg, our twins, Sean and Clara, gurgling happily in their bassinet close by. The twins were the center of attention today, as they were most days. Kamille’s kids, Reon, Torin, Tyris, Royer, and little Phoebe, were running around the patio, shrieking in delight as they chased each other. I glanced at Kamille and Zeke, who were sitting across from us, laughing and chatting while keeping a watchful eye on their children. Amanda, was helping prepare the meal, occasionally smiling in our direction as the kids d

Zane's POVI stood there, fists clenched, staring Dave Scott down. Every fiber of my being wanted to lunge at him, to make him pay for everything he’d done. But I couldn’t—at least, not yet. The recorder in my pocket was still running, capturing every damning word that fell from his mouth. I could feel it, a tiny weight pressing against my ribs, reminding me that I had to play this smart. For Belle. For Kelly. For justice.Dave, on the other hand, was as smug as ever, leaning back with that infuriating smirk plastered across his face. He had no idea that his time was running out.“You think you can just waltz in here and act like you own the place?” Dave sneered, his voice dripping with arrogance. “You’re nothing, Zane. A nobody playing hero in a game that’s way beyond your league.”I bit back my anger, forcing myself to remain calm. His words didn’t matter. Not when I had the truth on my side. I took a deep breath, my fingers brushing against the stop button on the recorder hidden

Belle's POVWalking into the living room wasn’t easy. My legs felt heavy, like I was dragging weights with each step. The air in the mansion was suffocating, thick with tension and unspoken fears. My heart raced, a wild, chaotic rhythm that matched the pounding of my thoughts. I could still hear my mother’s frantic voice behind me, begging, pleading for me to stay with them, to hide, to escape into the secret bunker.“Belle, you don’t have to do this!” she cried, reaching out as if she could physically hold me back. Her eyes were wide with fear, her voice trembling. “Come with us. We can hide. We can survive this.”I stopped, my hand resting on the doorframe, my back to her. I couldn’t turn around. I couldn’t let her see the turmoil etched on my face, the way my hands trembled from the weight of what I was about to do. My family was scared—terrified, really—but the idea of running, of leaving Zane behind to face this monster alone, felt like a betrayal I wasn’t willing to commit.“W

Dave's POVI had been waiting for over an hour, sitting there, staring at the doors leading to the rooms, expecting Belle and Zane to finally step out. It wasn’t like them to hide this long, especially Zane. But instead of the two people I was dying to confront, what I got was the Perri family, practically groveling before me. Pathetic.The Perri patriarch, Mr. Perri, stood in front of me with a forced smile, his hands clasped in front of him as though in prayer. His wife hovered behind him, wringing her hands nervously. “Please, David,” her father began, his voice trembling. “We don’t want any trouble. Just… drop the lawsuit. We’ll leave quietly, I swear. We won’t cause any problems.”I couldn’t help the smirk that stretched across my face. They were so desperate, so weak. This was the kind of power I craved, watching them squirm, knowing I held all the cards. “You won’t cause any trouble?” I repeated, mocking his words as if they were a joke. “Oh, trust me, you wouldn’t be able

Zane's POVBelle’s tears were too much for me to handle. The way her shoulders shook, the soft sniffles she tried to hide—it broke something inside me. I couldn’t stand seeing her like this. Without thinking, I reached out, pulling her into my arms once more, holding her as tightly as I dared.“It’s going to be okay,” I whispered, my lips brushing against her hair. “I swear to you, Belle, this will all end today. I’ll make sure of it.”She pulled back slightly, her wide, tear-filled eyes meeting mine. There was a small, hopeful smile on her lips, but I could see the doubt lingering beneath it. It killed me to know that she still didn’t fully believe everything would be fine, that she didn’t fully believe in me. But I didn’t blame her. After everything that had happened, after all the lies, how could she?God! I needed her to trust me.I leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips again, my hand cupping her cheek gently. When I pulled away, her eyes fluttered open, and I saw a leve

Belle's POV“I’m scared, Zane,” I confessed. My voice trembled, and my arms tightened instinctively around my belly. I felt so vulnerable, standing there in front of him, exposed and raw. How was I supposed to face Dave? What would he say? What would he do?Zane hugged me tighter. His warmth, his strength—it was like a lifeline, grounding me in the storm of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. He pressed a soft kiss to my hair, his lips lingering there for a moment before he spoke.“You don’t have to be scared,” he murmured into my hair, his voice gentle yet filled with quiet resolve. “I’m here. No one is going to hurt you. Not Dave. Not anyone.”I closed my eyes, leaning into his chest, letting his heartbeat steady mine. His words were soothing, like a balm to my frayed nerves. Dave had always had a way of getting under my skin, and now… with everything that had happened…“Go get refreshed,” Zane said, pulling back slightly to look into my eyes. His fingers brushed a loose strand o

Zane's POVI cursed under my breath as we broke the kiss. I let her take a while to arrange her silk gown. I moved a bit from her as my mind played over what happened the night before.Belle couldn’t sleep all night; I could tell from the way she kept shifting in bed, her body tense beneath the silk sheets. I lay beside her, watching her.I thought back to earlier that night when I walked into the Perri mansion, my mind filled with chaos, only to be confronted by an entirely different reality. I remember the way Belle’s mother was yelling, her voice shrill with rage, but none of that mattered the second I saw Belle. She stood there, so fragile and strong all at once, and without thinking, I crossed the room and pulled her into my arms. Her soft, warm body pressed against mine, grounding me in the middle of the madness. She was everything. The only thing that made sense. The world could be burning down around us, and I wouldn’t care, as long as I had her.Belle’s mother, however, didn

Belle's POVI hadn’t moved from my spot on the bed. Not an inch. I sat there, staring blankly at the wall across from me, my mind heavy with thoughts, swirling memories of last night that I couldn’t quite shake. Everything felt so distant yet so vivid, playing over and over again in my mind. The weight of it all bore down on me, rendering me numb.Opposite me, Zane sat with his back against the headboard, his eyes wide open, just watching. He had been watching me all night. He hadn’t said much, but I could feel his presence, steady and unwavering, like a tether keeping me from completely unraveling. His gaze hadn’t left me, and for some reason, I found comfort in that. My thoughts drifted back to the moment it all came crashing down. The nausea that hit me like a brick after the shouting match with my mother, the way she had followed me into the bathroom after I threw up, concern etched across her face despite the earlier anger.“Belle, are you alright?” she’d asked, her voice surp
Barren Heiress Returns With Quadruplet Seventy three
Dave's POVThe sun was barely up, casting a dull, gray light over the city, but the weight on my chest was already heavier than the day before. The shipment I had been waiting for was just a few hours away. The timing couldn’t have been worse, not with Belle out there and Zane still breathing. I needed to tie up loose ends, and fast.I sat on the brown leather swivel chair in my study, my hands running over my face as I tried to think. I needed to find a way to get the attention of the drug enforcement agency off my back before the shipment arrived. Every second counted, and I knew that one wrong move could bring it all crashing down.I reached for my phone, my fingers tapping rapidly as I sent out a message to my men. It was time to surround the Perri mansion. We need to bring Belle's family to their limit. Once that was done, they would bring out Belle. Or rather, she would bring forth herself. Then that nosy Zane Caruso will come for her and I get to silence him forever."Surrou
