Crystal's Point Of View

"I wouldn't be able to take you home today. I have a last minute engagement," Eduardo told me. I went into his office to tell him I was clocking out. It was already 4p.m and I was very tired. Today drained me.

"I'll just get a cab." I told him.

"No, the chauffeur will come pick you up,"

There was no point arguing with him so I just nodded. I turned to leave but I stopped at the door. I turned and found him staring at me. I did not know why I stopped. I had to say something or it would seem very awkward.

"Um... is it a meeting?" I asked him and he raised a quizzical brow. "Your... the last minute engagement I mean."

Why did I ask that?!

"Oh. I have dinner with my mother." He replied and I nodded before leaving. His mother, huh? I haven't crossed paths with his mother since I left five years ago. How was she now? How would she react when she sees me? Was she still in favour of her son marrying Serena?

I scoffed. I had no reason to be thinking about this. I

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Early Visitation

    Eduardo's Point Of View I pulled up in the driveway of my mother's mansion. I stopped living here a few months ago. At first, I stayed with her because I was worried for her health and she can be very dramatic when she's sick but she was beginning to be a thorn in my neck so I guess a caregiver and moved back to my house. Though I had to promise to have dinner with her once a week"Welcome, master Eduardo," I put off my coat and handed it to the butler. I could already hear my mother's hearty laughter which meant that someone else was with her. I could almost guess who it was. I stepped into the dinning room and it was her like I expected"Oh, my son is here!" Mum beamed. I went to her and kissed her cheek. "I didn't know you invited a guest," I said as I took a seat opposite hers"Come on, Eduardo. Serena isn't in anyway a guest. I've taken her as a part of the family.I glanced at Serena who flashed me a smile. "I would have told you about my arrival but mother told me not to tell.

    Crystal's Point Of View"Mummy, someone at the door!" Eloise yelled. "Coming, baby," I put off my gloves and walked to the living room where I saw Dexter by the door. "Get away from the door, Dexter." I carried him out of the way and I opened the door, only to see who I wasn't expecting. "Ed... Eduardo?" "Good morning," he said and I batted my lashes in utmost confusion. "Um... come in?" I was unsure of what to say. I had questions but I couldn't start questioning him at the door. And it is quite chilly outside. He came in and the twins almost burst when joy when they saw him. "Uncle!" They squealed in unison and Eduardo picked them up. "I've been waiting for you," Dexter pouted."That is why I came as fast as I could." Eduardo said and Dexter giggled. He kissed Eloise's cheek and warmth enveloped my heart. He looked so... perfect with the kids. Oh what was I thinking about? He is my ex-husband! The one who broke my heart in the worst way possible! He turned to me and I quickly

    Aurora's Point Of View "Are you okay?" He asked as he walked to me. "Do I look like I'm not?" He stopped before me and I looked away, unable to meet his gaze. I feared I might break down if I saw his face. He held my chin and turned my face to meet his gaze. He rubbed my stinging cheek with his thumb and said, "did she hit you?" "Does it matter?" I tried to turn away but he pulled me closer. "Did she hit you, Aurora?" I was forced to meet his eyes. They were different than the ones that stared at me with disdain five years ago. Tears stung my eyes and I tried to stop them from falling. "Does it matter if she did?" I tried to sound tough but my shaky voice betrayed me. "Go and meet your woman, she probably needs you." His softened gaze hardened, "my woman?" "Yes." He let out a deep breath and his grip around my waist loosened. I knew it was too good to get true. He would eventually go to her. I bit my lip to stop my tears as I turned away from him. I made to leave but he held

    Aurora's Point Of View"I was excited, waiting for you to come home for our wedding anniversary but you never did." I sobbed. "You two were together all night while I waited for you," "What are you saying?" "You know exactly what I mean! You left me for her!" "No, I didn't!" He yelled, "I didn't leave you for anyone, Aurora!" My chest rose and fell heavily as I tried to register what he said. I opened my mouth to counter but he stepped forward and said again, "I. Didn't. Leave. You. For. Anyone," he repeated, making sure to stress every word to get his point across. "I saw the picture," I managed to say. "Of you two. You and Serena..." "Wait, what? Serena?" I nodded slowly. "Yeah. You were with her all night." He sighed exasperatedly as he ran his fingers throughout his silk black hair. He stared at me in disbelief, making me feel like I was overreacting. "That night..." he began, "I was on a business trip like I told you. Serena was heavily fatigued so she said she wanted to

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Can't Keep Control

    Aurora's Point Of ViewEduardo dropped me off at home in the evening and my kids welcomed me happily. Eduardo's words kept echoing in my head all night as thoughts of him filled my mind. Was it really possible for us to be together? To become the family we once were? But many years have passed. I'm not even sure I love him anymore. I'm not sure of what I feel towards him? I know he makes my body heat up whenever he is near me, I know my heart thump wildly whenever our hands brush, his touches set my body on fire and I dream of his body on mine sometimes but was that all it was? Lust and nothing else? I sighed deeply and turned in my bed. He said Serena manipulated the whole situation. Did she really? Did Eduardo really had nothing to do with it? Did I mistake what I saw? But if that is the situation, how can he explain the fact that she was still hovering around him? She still visited his mother even. What explanation does he have to that? I glanced at the clock and realized it was

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    Heat

    Aurora's Point Of View I rushed into the bathroom, my heart racing wildly. I pushed myself against the sink and drowned my face in cold water. My breathing was ragged as I struggled to stay on my feet. I staggered into one of the toilets and leaned against the door, trying to steady my breath. My skin stung and my clothes felt like thorns against it. I leaned against the cool metal of the bathroom stall, my body trembling uncontrollably. My heat had reached its peak, and I could feel the overwhelming pressure building in every inch of me. The cold water had done nothing to calm the fire raging inside. It only seemed to make the discomfort more intense, my skin sensitive to even the faintest touch of fabric. I bit down on my lip to suppress the whimper that threatened to escape. I couldn’t let anyone hear me like this—not in the middle of the workday. Not when Eduardo was just down the hall, his scent still lingering in the air, making everything worse. It was as if his presence tri

    Aurora's Point Of ViewAs Eduardo knelt beside me, his hand brushing a strand of hair away from my face, I closed my eyes, trying to focus on the steady rhythm of my breathing. He felt my forehead and said, "You should take a cold bath. You're burning up." He took his hands off and I mourned his touch. "I would contact a doctor I know. Maybe he can prescribe something to help with the heat." I almost shook my head in protest. I did not want to take any pills. I wanted him. I wanted him to pin my hands over my head on the bed and fuck me. Mercilessly. I want him to make me beg for it till I cry. I bit my lip at the thought, my eyes never leaving his. His eyes darkened and I smirked. Fuck I'm loosing my mind. "Go to the bathroom," That was not a request. He left the room, leaving me with my wild thoughts. I managed to drag myself into the bathroom and I immersed myself in the bathtub filled with cold water. I soaked in the cold water, letting it ease the burning heat coursing throu

    Aurora's Point of ViewThe day of the bid arrived, and the office was buzzing with nervous excitement. We had spent the past week going over every detail, ensuring that our proposal for the Evergreen Heights project was as solid as it could be. Eduardo was calm and focused, but I could tell from the way his jaw clenched that the pressure was getting to him.I walked into the conference room where Eduardo’s team had gathered, ready for the final presentation. The room was filled with engineers, architects, and project managers, all looking over last-minute details on their laptops and discussing strategies in hushed tones.Eduardo stood at the head of the table, reviewing the presentation slides on the screen. His presence was magnetic, as usual, and I couldn’t help but notice how his confidence lifted the spirits of everyone around him. It had been weeks since he re-entered my life, and I could no longer deny how drawn I felt toward him. The way he handled the kids, his steady hand at

    Aurora’s Point of ViewEduardo's breath mingled with mine as we stood mere inches apart. The air between us felt charged, thick with unspoken words and emotions neither of us could deny anymore. My heart pounded in my chest as his hand gently brushed my arm, and I could feel the pull—our lips almost touching.Just as his hand cupped my cheek, and the world around us started to fade away, a loud knock shattered the moment.We both froze. I blinked, taking a step back as reality came crashing in. Eduardo's eyes lingered on mine for a heartbeat longer, his hand falling from my face as the knock came again—louder this time, more insistent.“I’ll... I’ll get that,” Eduardo muttered, running a hand through his hair as he moved to answer the door. His voice was gruff, and I could see the tension still coursing through him.I stood there for a moment, trying to calm my racing heart. Embarrassment washed over me as I realized how close we’d just come to... what, exactly? A kiss? Something mor

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    The Next Step

    Aurora’s Point of ViewThe boardroom was filled with the hum of low voices, the subtle clicking of laptops, and the rustling of papers as the meeting went on. We were in the middle of a major discussion about a new construction project—a high-end residential complex that Eduardo’s company was bidding on. As I sat at the long, polished table, my attention kept drifting from the presentation slides to Eduardo, who sat at the head of the table.He was calm and collected as always, his eyes sharp as he addressed his team. I admired how he handled these meetings with such ease, delegating responsibilities, asking the right questions, and commanding the room. “Let’s focus on securing the land first,” Eduardo said, his voice deep and authoritative. “We need to ensure that the environmental assessment report is clean. Aurora, do you have the final analysis from the firm?”I straightened in my seat, pushing aside my wandering thoughts. “Yes, I do,” I replied, flipping through the papers in fr

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    For Her Children

    Aurora’s Point of ViewThe laughter and shouts of children echoed all around us as the Father’s Day program continued. The afternoon sun illuminated the schoolyard in warmth, and everywhere I looked, there were families, smiling fathers, excited kids, and a sense of joy that I hadn’t fully anticipated feeling today. I glanced at Eduardo. He was in his element, laughing with Dexter and Eloise as we finished another game. The balloon-popping contest had been awkward at first, but the tension between us had slowly dissolved into something comfortable, almost familiar. He seemed so at ease with the kids—our kids—like he had always been there.But then, Dexter’s question hit me like a punch to the gut.“Mum, is Eduardo… is he our dad?”Time seemed to stop. The world around me faded, and all I could hear was the sound of my heart pounding in my ears. Dexter’s eyes, so full of innocence and curiosity, were locked on me, waiting for an answer. Eloise looked up too, her tiny brows furrowed as

  • Billionaire Alpha's Hidden Twins    He's Your Father

    Eduardo’s Point of ViewIt started with a phone call. The headmaster of the twins' school reached out to notify me of an upcoming Father’s Day program. At first, I wasn’t sure what to do with the information. I hadn’t been a part of Dexter and Eloise’s lives for so long, and now, I was being invited to attend something that was, by all accounts, for fathers.Was I really ready for this? Was it too much? Too soon?I hung up the phone, feeling the weight of the decision pressing on my shoulders. For years, I had been absent from their lives—not by choice, but by circumstance. The thought of standing there, surrounded by fathers who had been present, who knew their children’s every like and dislike, who had shared every moment... It made me feel like an outsider. I hadn’t earned the right to be called a father.And yet, a part of me longed to go. To be there. To see them laugh, to join in their fun, and to make memories that I had missed out on for so long.My heart and mind were at war,

    Aurora's Point Of ViewI left work early. I haven't seen my kids in a whole day. They must have missed me. I've missed them too. Eduardo drove me home and I thought he would ask if he could come in. I don't wanna admit it but I would've told him to come in without thinking twice. Oh moon, what's happening to me? "Mummy!" I squealed, catching my two joys in my arms. I hugged him tightly, sniffing their hair. "I've missed you so much!" "You did not come home yesterday," Eloise pouted and guilt tore into my heart. "I'm sorry, baby. Mummy had work." What? I can't possibly tell them I got into heat, kissed the man they don't know is their father and begged him to make love to me. No, I can't possibly say that. The evening passed in a blur of giggles, dinner, and bath time with Dexter and Eloise. They were my world, my little anchors keeping me grounded in the chaos of my thoughts. I hadn’t been with them since yesterday, and the guilt of leaving them tugged at my heart.Eloise sat on

    Aurora's Point Of View"It was all because of my heat," I defended myself as I took a bite out of the pancake."I did not say otherwise," he shrugged as he sat opposite me on the kitchen island. I watched as he took a bite and licked the sauce off his lips. "What? Still feel devouring me?" He teased, snapping me out of my daze. "I'm fine now," I shoved a spoon of food down my mouth to cover my embarrassment. "Looks like the doctor was right." "Did I do anything weird after last night?" He paused and looked at me like he knew something I didn't know. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. I cannot remember anything after we both lied down in his bed last night. Surely, I couldn't have done anything worse. "No," he said and I heaved a sigh of relief. "You slept like a baby. Do you feel better now?" I nodded. "I'm back to myself." He pursed his lips, "bummer," I frowned and he chuckled. "I'm just pulling your legs." He gestured to my almost empty plate. "You done with that?" He ask

    Aurora's Point Of ViewI woke up to the soft warmth of the morning sun streaming through the curtains, my body wrapped around something soft and firm. For a moment, I sighed in contentment, snuggling closer, my fingers gripping the fabric beneath me. I could still smell him—Eduardo. His scent was everywhere, invading my senses and stirring something deep within me.Then it hit me.I wasn’t holding him. I was hugging a pillow. A pillow that, upon closer inspection, had his tank top draped over it. I blinked in confusion, my mind still foggy from sleep. The cool morning air brushed against my bare legs, and that’s when I realized—I wasn’t in my robe anymore. I was wearing one of his shirts, the soft cotton hanging loosely around me.I sat up abruptly, my heart racing. The events of last night came crashing down on me. The kiss, the way I practically threw myself at him, and his firm but gentle refusal. I buried my face in my hands, groaning in embarrassment. Moon, what had I done? I’d l
