"I’m promising you this, Rose," I began, my voice deadly calm. "If Henry ever lays a finger on Jake again, I won’t just be having a friendly chat in the principal’s office. Do you understand me?"

Rose scoffed, folding her arms. "Oh, please. You think you scare me, Helen? You’ve always been all bark and no bite."

I leaned in slightly, lowering my voice just enough so only she could hear. "Try me."

Her smug expression faltered for a second, but she quickly recovered, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "This is ridiculous. Henry, get up. We’re leaving."

Henry quickly hopped off his chair, clinging to his mother’s side as she grabbed her purse. "Principal, I expect a fair resolution to this. I won’t have Helen trying to turn this into some dramatic scene."

I let out a humorless laugh. "Oh, don’t worry, Rose. The scene is just beginning. Because if you don’t teach your son how to behave, I will."

She glared at me one last time before strutting out of the office with Henry in tow.

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.   Chapter Fifteen: Ashton's POV

    “Hey… Helen... How are you... wait... Why are you here?" I asked, because at this point, I was surprised.All the anger I had some minutes back was gone. Just like that. All that was on my mind now was why Helen was here, at my son's school.Helen crossed her arms and stared at me like I was some idiot who just asked the dumbest question in the world. "Ashton, I’m not here for any pleasantries. I just want to make something clear to you."She took a step closer, her eyes sharp, her voice low but deadly serious. "I won’t ever allow any of my kids to be bullied by your so-called son. Warn your irresponsible excuse of a wife, to have her son stay away from my kids. Or else... she’ll have me to contend with."I blinked. Once. Twice. I swear, my brain was trying to catch up with what she just said.Wait. What?I almost laughed. Almost.I was Ashton. The biggest millionaire in Seattle, with businesses in every corner of this damn city. Nobody talked to me like that. Nobody. And yet, here wa

    Back at my office, I sat on the leather couch. I tried searching for a pain relief drug from the drawers, but I guess I already exhausted the ones I had stored up.My mind was still in chaos after everything that had happened at the school. I couldn't believe Helen had slapped Rose. I couldn’t believe she stood there, looking me dead in the eye, daring me to do something about it.But right now, that wasn’t even the biggest issue. Ken sat across from me, a thick envelope in his hands. He called me while I was still in school saying he had vital and sensitive information I needed to attend to, so I left school and came to the office.I frowned, my eyes shifting between him and the envelope. “What is this?” I asked, reaching for it.Ken handed it over, leaning forward slightly. “A lot of information on what you asked me to look into.”I tore it open; my hands were shaking and a little bit unsteady as I pulled out the contents. There were printed documents, some handwritten notes, and ev

    “Kids, come down to the dining room this instant and have your breakfast!" I called out as I carried plates to the dining table.It was the weekend, and I always made sure they did their little chores before having breakfast. I was so thankful for the weekend. At least now, I could actually rest and not be so stressed from work—or that piece of a liar, Ashton.Last week was really a hell of a week. But finally, it was the weekend, so I could take a break."Mummy, we will be down in a jiffy!" I heard Kate’s voice from upstairs.I smiled as I set the plates down. The smell of freshly made pancakes filled the air, mixing with the warm scent of scrambled eggs and sausages. I had woken up early to make their favorite breakfast. It was the least I could do after the madness of the past few days. Moreover, it was the weekend; we needed to enjoy ourselves at least.Just as I brought the last plate to the dining table, I heard the sound of running footsteps. Within seconds, Jake, Blake, and K

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.   Chapter Eighteen: Ashton's POV

    I actually didn't mean to disturb Helen and her kids, but I was passing by their house, and I decided to just say hi. As I got closer, I noticed something strange—the front door was a little bit open. That wasn’t like her. This was one of the biggest estates in Seattle. How could she have left her door open? Maybe she intentionally left it that way, or maybe she forgot.I pushed the door open a little more and stepped inside. The warm smell of pancakes and eggs filled the air, mixed with the sound of kids making some crazy laughing sounds. I followed the sound to the dining room and saw them all sitting at the table, laughing, eating, completely unaware that I was standing there.It was… cute. I won’t lie. Watching them like this, so happy, made my chest feel tight in a way I didn’t want to think about.“Hey, dickhead.” Helen’s voice brought me back from my thoughts. I turned my head slowly, meeting her eyes as she shone them at me.“I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?” She sho

    As I rode back home, my head was spinning. Helen’s words kept replaying in my mind. She said I sent divorce papers to her? That didn’t make sense. I knew that night with Rose was a damn mess, but I couldn’t remember doing something like that. Hell, I couldn’t even remember drafting a divorce letter.What the hell actually happened that night?The more I thought about it, the heavier my head felt. There was something missing, something I wasn’t seeing. And I needed to find out what it was.I grabbed my phone and dialed Ken. After calling twice, he picked up. “Boss?”“I need you to look into something,” I started, trying to keep my voice calm.“Sure, anything, boss. What do you need”?I then continued, telling him exactly what I wanted. “Check if the penthouse camera recordings from the night I was with Rose are still available. I need to know exactly what happened.”There was a pause. Then Ken spoke, cautious. “Sir, that was over six years ago.”“I know,” I said sharply. “But I need y

    At this point, I didn’t know what to think or even do because I was in a damn fix.It was early the next morning. I was back home with my back to the bed, staring at the ceiling like it had all the answers I needed. My mind was a mess. A goddamn mess. How could I have thrown my life away just like that? Six years of pain, six years of being stuck in Rose’s trap, and for what? A drunken mistake? A night I couldn’t even remember? And the worst part? Helen… my Helen… she was gone. Moved on. Raising my kids, your kids, without even telling them who their father was.I sat up, running a hand down my face. My chest felt tight. Like I was suffocating in my own regrets. This was a disaster. No, this was worse than a disaster. This was hell, and I had built it with my own damn hands.My phone buzzed. I snatched it off the nightstand, hoping—hell, praying—it was Helen. But no. Ken’s name flashed on the screen.I let out a breath before answering. “What?”“Are you good, boss?”I rubbed my temp

    I stepped into the office, shutting the door behind me. The air inside was heavy, thick with tension, like something bad was about to unfold. Ken was already seated, his fingers drumming against the desk almost impatiently. “Boss, you’re a bit late,” he said, not looking up from the laptop in front of him.I exhaled, rolling my shoulders as I pulled out a chair. “My apologies.” I leaned forward. “So what do we have here? ”Ken pushed the laptop toward me. “Take a good look at this.”I shifted in my seat, my eyes narrowing as I focused on the screen. The footage was grainy but clear enough to make out the figures moving in the darkness. My breath seized when I recognized her.Rose.She was at Helen’s house. I checked the date on the video and saw that it was yesterday.I frowned, my stomach twisting. What the hell was she doing there? And why the hell was she bringing men with her?“Where did you get this?” I asked, my voice low, controlled.Ken leaned back. “I stationed some cameras

    As I was still pondering over it, I was surprised when I heard a car drive into the compound. The way the engine sounded, it clearly showed that the person was in a hurry.Speaking of the devil, I hissed under my breath. It was Ashton.What the hell was he doing here this early in the morning?I stood at the door, arms crossed, watching as he stepped out of his car. He came down majestically as though he were someone important.“What do you want this early morning?” I spat at him before he even got close enough.He let out a breath, trying to remain calm. “Good morning, Helen. Won’t you at least let me come in?”“No.”He raised an eyebrow. “And why not?”I laughed, shaking my head. “Tell your so-called whore to leave me alone.”That caught him off guard. He didn’t understand who I was talking about until I gave him a profound look and he saw it was Rose. “What?”“You heard me, Ashton. I just got intel that Rose has been asking about me. She’s been sniffing around my former city too.”

    Driving back home, I couldn’t shake off the strange shift in Rose’s tone. The moment I brought up Henry’s behavior and then his legitimacy, her attitude changed, and she suddenly flared up so badly. She’d gone from defensive and literally wanted to bring the roof down, like a cat backed into a corner. It didn’t add up, and the way she reacted raised a question in my head I couldn’t ignore.Is Henry really Ashton’s child? Or not?It made me grip the steering wheel tighter as I was lost in thought. Rose wasn’t above doing whatever it took to get what she wanted. That much was clear. But if she’d gone as far as lying about who Henry’s father was… Why? And how? What was she hiding?I needed answers.Pulling over to the side of the road, I grabbed my phone and scrolled to Zita’s number. She was the perfect person that could help me fish out the truth in this kind of situation. The phone rang twice before her familiar, upbeat voice came through.“Hi Rita, how are you doing?” I greeted,

    I felt my heart racing as I tried to keep my anger in check. Sitting in that office with Rose felt like being cornered in a cage with a wild animal. I didn’t know why I kept wasting my breath on her. She clearly had no sense, no respect. She didn’t care about her actions, only how they affected her. She literally was someone that would go to any length to have what she always wanted.“Principal Thompson, please look into what we discussed,” I said, turning back to her and pretending Rose didn’t exist. I was done with her nonsense. I needed to focus.“Sure, ma’am. I promise we will make sure this doesn’t repeat itself again,” The principal replied, still apologizing with her eyes and words. “Thank you,” I smiled, feeling slightly relieved. I just wanted to get out of that office and away from this whole mess.I stormed out of the room, feeling the tension lift a little, but just as I reached my car, I heard a voice behind me.“Hey! Where do you think you’re going?” Rose shouted, her

    I hated stepping my feet back into the school for the second time in as many weeks. The principal's office felt like a hellhole, and I could already feel my anger rising. I had just come from a long day on set, filming for hours, and my mind was already clogged and drained. Just for me to get a call from the principal that my kids were in a fight. Again.“Principal Thompson, I can’t believe I’m back here again!” I hissed as I walked into her office. “What happened now?”She looked up from her desk; her facial expression was really apologetic. “Helen, I understand your frustration, but please, let me explain. Your son got into another fight with Henry.”“Henry? That riffraff boy?” I snapped, crossing my arms tightly. “This is unacceptable! My kids were supposed to be safe here!”“Please try to calm down,” She cajoled, pressing a finger to her temples as if trying to calm herself down. “I’m truly sorry this is happening again. I promised you it wouldn’t be an issue.”“I don’t care abo

    Getting ready for school, I couldn’t shake the feelings from the other day. I still vividly remember the day Daddy came and said those terrible things to my mom. I could still hear his voice, loud and hurtful.“Why are you even here, Ashton?” I heard my mom scream at him. “You don’t care about us! Just leave and don’t come back!”He just looked at me, his face all messed up and angry. “I’m Henry’s dad. You won't deny me the privilege to see my own son”Then he walked out of the house, and I felt this wave of anger wash over me. How could he talk to my mom like that? I knew, at that moment, that I had to make sure those kids paid for what he did.“I’ll make them pay,” I hissed to myself as tears filled my eyes. It wasn’t fair that he got to be mean and walk away without any consequences.With a heavy heart, I snuggled back under my bed sheets. Mommy was always there for me, working hard to keep us going. Daddy would come by, but he was never really present. “I’m busy, Henry,” he would

    “Mom, just relax… okay?” Kate said, laughing as she playfully rolled her eyes on me. I was amazed at her little display of attitude, my brain taking a short trip down the memory lane of when they were just babies a few years back. “Who do you all think you are?” I asked, a small laugh escaping my lips. “You kids are turning into real little adults!”“I’m not a baby anymore!” Kate huffed proudly and stuck her nose in the air, “I’m growing up, Mommy!”“Yes, but you will always be my baby,” I replied, ruffling her hair affectionately.Everybody laughed as she said it, but I then noticed Jake wasn't showing excitement like the rest of us, as he was just quiet and moody in one corner.As I walked up to him, the rest went to meet Rita in the kitchen to get dinner ready.“Hey, what’s wrong, buddy?” I asked, noticing the change in his energy. He looked down, fiddling with the hem of his towel.“Nothing,” he answered, avoiding eye contact.Soon I reached him, kneeling so I was at his level. “

    “Mommy, Mommy! We had a really good time!” Kate exclaimed as she ran into my bedroom, wrapping her little arms tightly around me. Her excitement was so clear as she was so happy, and I couldn’t help but smile as I lifted her up, spinning her around.“Ooh, my baby!” I cooed. I placed her back down gently as I played with her hair. “Did you really have fun?”“Yes! Aunty Rita is the best!” She answered with a huge grin, her big eyes shining with pure happiness.I chuckled, feeling a bit of relief wash over me. “So, Aunty Rita really spoiled you all, huh?”Just then, Blake and Jake came rushing in, both sporting big grins that matched Kate's. “We had ice cream!” Jake said as he couldn’t stop jumping up and down.“And swings! Super high!” Blake chipped in, mimicking a swing motion with his arms. “It was the best!”I laughed. “Really? Did Aunt Rita do anything else fun?”“Yes!” Kate shouted. “She took us to the slides, and we all played together!”Rita, who had just walked in behind the bo

    Rose was getting on my nerves, but I had to be mature here so I took a deep breath to steady myself. “I care about you, Rose. I really do”“Do you? Because it sure doesn't look that way. You can't seriously think I’d accept you playing house with them while I’m sitting here alone.”“Why can’t you try to understand?” I was almost pleading now, my tone shifting towards desperation. “Helen’s their mom and my wife! I need to make things right. If I can connect with them, maybe she’ll want to talk to me.”“Talk about what? You have all this history. We moved on.” She exclaimed, her anger rising again. “You’re not some knight in shining armor for a family that isn’t yours!“I never claimed to be!” I shouted, the heat of the moment overwhelming me. “But you’re making it hard for me to explain. I need to confront my past to move forward with my future.”“Your future with whom?” She screamed, throwing her arms up in frustration. “With them? Because it sure looks like you’re playing family with

    Driving like a maniac toward Rose’s house, my heart raced. I needed to explain myself about being late, but I was also scared of how she would react. “Come on, come on,” I hissed under my breath, trying to keep my focus on the road. The minutes seemed to stretch, and the traffic felt stronger than usual. Suddenly, I found myself staring at a truck way too close for comfort. “Shit!” I shouted, swerving hard to the right just in time, my tires screeching against the asphalt on the road. “That was too close!” My heart went wild in my chest as I regained control of the car, moving ahead.After about twenty intense minutes of running like a madman on the road, I arrived at Rose's house. I quickly walked to the front door and swung it open.There she was, sitting on the couch, her lovely gown hugging her curves perfectly, but her expression was anything but beautiful. She was holding a glass, and I could see the anger boiling in her eyes.“Rose!” I took a delayed step forward as I looke

    “Shit... Rita, sorry to break up this lovely catch-up with the kids, but I have somewhere I really need to be…” I trailed off, looking down at my watch to see how far spent time had gone. My heart skipped a beat because I knew how angry Rose would be by now, seeing that I was literally over 2 hours late for our dinner.Before I finished telling Rita I wanted to leave, Kate walked up to me, her face etched in deep concentration. She was holding her brothers' hands, and her face really looked so serious. “Before you leave, may I please ask you a question?”“Sure, Kate! What’s on your mind?”She looked at Jake and Blake and then looked back at me, her eyes filled with that curious look. “Are you our father?”Damn! That question hit me like a freight train. My heart dropped to my stomach. How could she have found out? I quickly gave Rita a confused look, whose expression only matched my shock. She had her mouth slightly open, clearly surprised also.“What….. What do you mean by that, Kat
