BRIXTONThe moment my lips met Leah’s, a surge of electricity shot through me. It was a raw, undeniable connection that ignited a fire in my veins.I admit I’m not a saint, I’ve kissed plenty of women before, but this one… this was different. I felt like melting as I tasted her soft lips. This moment was something I've been longing for, and I finally have it. I could feel her hesitance, her hands trying to push me away, but I kept her firmly lock in my hold, only deepening the kiss until I felt her softly respond.“Hmmm…” The sound she made as I kissed her deeper was so fucking sexy that it was turning me on.My hands slid around her waist and I pulled her closer to me, wanting to feel her soft body on mine. Her body was tensed, somewhat resisting but I could feel the heat radiating from her. I knew she was feeling the same way as I was.I sucked her tongue, eager to deepen the kiss even more but then she suddenly pushed me away when I was just getting distracted and immersed explorin
LEAHThe next day, I tried to focus on work at the office. But my mind kept wandering back to yesterday’s events. Brixton’s kiss had left a lingering feeling. I could still feel my lips tingling from the sensation he brought upon me, but at the same time, a bitter feeling spread across my chest as I recall our conversation yesterday.I sat on my desk, staring blankly at my computer screen when Jane’s voice snapped me back to reality.“Earth to Leah!” She waved her hand in front of me and I blinked.“Sorry, what was that?” I mumbled in slight embarrassment. “I was thinking about something...”Suddenly, she flashed me grin, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “You mean… thinking about a certain handsome man?”I furrowed my brows, but she only playfully moved closer to me while still sitting in her swivel chair.“I heard Brixton Alistaire visited the field yesterday. The staffs saw that you two had a little chat. Alone.”My heart raced upon hearing her statement.“Mind sharing what happene
THIRD PERSON’S POVAt the school, the first day classes finally ended. Calvin, Clyde, and Bella were in the same class and got out of the classroom together. However, as they walked towards the school’s waiting area, they didn’t saw any trace of their nanny, Mia.“Where’s aunt Mia?” Clyde asked in confusion. The siblings’ eyes wandered around.“Stay here, I’ll go find her.” Calvin reminded Clyde to keep watch of their sister Bella and told them not to walk around. He, himself, decided to look around and search for their nanny.But after going around the schoolgrounds, their nanny could still not be seen anywhere.Calvin frowned and pursed his lips, as if in deep thought before he walked back to where his siblings were.“I can’t find her.”“What do we do now?” Clyde asked in worry, holding his sister’s hand.“Let’s just wait for mom.” Calvin spoke calmly and urged the two to take a seat on the nearest bench.“Oh yeah! Mom said she’s going to come fetch us.” Clyde mumbled in relief and
LEAH’S POVMy heart was pounding with worry even until I arrived at the restaurant. I immediately rushed inside and scanned my eyes worriedly in the whole area, and there I spotted my kids sitting at a corner most table.Relief washed over me, but my hands were still shaking as I hurriedly walked towards them.“Darlings…”“Mommy!!” Bella and Clyde both exclaimed at the same time when they saw me coming. They jumped from their seats and rushed to hug me.My heart clenched. I knelt down to hug them back, sighing in both concern and relief.“I’m so sorry. Mommy is really sorry, darlings. Are you okay?” One by one, I cupped their faces to check if they were all okay.“We’re fine, mommy.” Clyde assured me while Bella clung into my arms. I stood up and urged them to go back on their seats to continue eating their meal.“We’re sorry, mom. We were hungry so we left school to eat lunch.” Calvin lowered his head as I sat beside him.His low and guilty tone made my heart ache. “Why are you sayin
LEAH’S POV“Do you think he could be our daddy?”Seeing the curious and expectant look on my son’s face made my heart clench. I felt like I have been poured cold water all over, realizing that it was either Brixton or Hudson whom he just met and was pertaining to.“Darling…” I struggled to find the right words. Even I, myself, doesn’t know the real answer. Although I knew that I was one step closer to the truth, there was still a barrier that keeps me from confirming it.“It’s all just a coincidence, baby.” I finally spoke after a few seconds, not wanting my son to notice the complicated look on my face.But his serious gaze told me he wasn’t entirely convinced. He was such a smart boy and so perceptive for his age that I could literally see the wheels turning in his mind.“But, mommy, he really looked like us,” Calvin persisted softly with a quiet assurance in his voice. “His eyes are even green, just like Bella’s!”I was growing nervous. He could even notice such details in such a s
LEAH’S POVHudson and Brixton’s arrival attracted the attention of all people inside the hall. Their presence commanded attention effortlessly. My eyes landed on their tall figures, and I felt my breath hitched. Their striking features were like God’s work of art, drawing all eyes towards them.But then, I had to gather my composure. ‘Get a grip of yourself, Leah! How many times do you have to get distracted by their presence?’For a brief moment, I thought I saw them glance in my direction and my heart started to race. I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me as I quickly turned away.“Such fine-looking men.” Jane sighs in a dreamy tone. I didn’t bother reacting to the look she was throwing at me as I tried to mingle into the crowd of my colleagues, trying to disappear from the twin’s radar.I couldn’t afford to be seen by them. Not tonight.I mingled with the crowd and engaged with in small talk with people I knew, laughing from time to time even at the jokes I barely heard. It was my
LEAH’S POVHudson stood few feet away from me, his intense gaze fixed on my figure. At that moment, I felt a jolt of panic.Why is he here?!“Huds – Mr. Alistaire…” I took a step back in unease.But then I saw how his eyes flashed when he noticed how I just addressed him.“We need to talk.”His tone was firm, not beating around the bush but it only made me confused and nervous.“Tonight’s a company celebration, but I think it’s not very convenient to talk about work matters at this hour.” I cleared my throat and avoided his gaze. The pain and bitterness from earlier when I saw them with Melanie came crushing back inside my chest.I knew it was quite petty, but I can’t stop myself from feeling this way.“Yeah?” His voice sounded serious, but I could hint a bit of sarcasm from it.“Or you’re just avoiding us.”It wasn’t a question. His words sounded so firm and commanding that it made me shiver.“I don’t know what you mean.”“Look at me,” His deep voice penetrated my ears. It made my he
LEAH’S POVMy hands were shaking that my phone almost fell from my hand. But then I was still driving at that moment and my eyes widened in panic when I noticed that my car almost crashed into another car. I immediately stepped on the brakes, feeling my heart pounding wildly in my chest.Luckily, I didn’t crash with the other car. I stopped driving in the middle of the road, feeling completely shaken. I stared down at my phone and blinked, but the text message still remained on the screen, proving that I wasn’t just seeing some things.I felt like a bucket of cold water was poured all over my body.But who could know about the triplets?

I planned to stay lowkey for the sake of my babies.But now, someone’s claiming to know my secrets. Judging from the text message, could he/she possibly know about Hudson and Brixton too
