A hush fell over the room as the confidence of the opposing board members began to diminish. Tonet's face especially turned ghostly white.

"No," Fredrick said under his breath. "This can't be true."

"ACE Construction who?" Leni asked.

Because everyone was shocked, no one responded to Leni. Nolan and Oliver were the first to inspect the contract.

"It's notarized," Nolan muttered.

Another board member also remarked, "And it has supporting documents from the Megaworld Entertainment Plaza project. There is an approval for the shared work."

"Yes, that's right," Adrian confirmed. He shifted to Engineer Philips and said, "Mr. Philips will explain further."

"Megaworld Plaza agreed for the project to be shared with the King's Enterprises, provided that we continue to be the primary firm overlooking the construction progress and reports," Engineer Philips said before gazing at Adrian. "Our CEO, Mr. King, and I had already agreed on the appropriate task allocation to balance the project cost."

    "Anthony, can't you see?" Tonet wept as she pointed at Adrian, implying, "He is influencing you to make these decisions. You are not thinking straight -""As a matter of fact, I have never seen more clearly since I married you, Tonet," Anthony declared. "How could you bring Leni here when you knew I was against her offer? You were there when she requested to marry Adrian, and I denied it!""The offer that Fredrick got from Leni is not because he worked hard for it; it was mere retribution from Leni because Adrian did not want to marry her!" Anthony pointed out. "And the fact that you sided with her scheme tells me more about you - who you really are!""But - but," Tonet stuttered. "Does it matter? What matters is we are going to get the support of the Eros -""So you think kicking Adrian out will improve the company?" Anthony barked at Tonet. "Do you think that we will thrive with Fredrick's leadership? I used to deny how wrong I was to choose your son over my own, but I can't hold ba

    “Oh, look! It’s Ramona, Charles Eros’ lover! And Leni too!” The media referred to Leni and Ramona as they walked toward the grand ballroom. Very quickly, reporters crowded around them. Leni was always used to striking a pose when there was a camera, and Ramona also desired attention. Hence, she posed for her pictures to be taken.“Leni, you look so beautiful!”“Miss Ramona, turn this way!”The shutter clicks went on for a few more minutes before Ramona finally said, “Excuse us, we need to enter the ballroom now.”“Miss Leni, are you here to support the King’s Enterprises? Has the issue between you and Adrian King been settled?” One news reporter questioned. Leni turned to the camera and announced, “The matters between Adrian and I remained unresolved, but I am giving the King’s Enterprises a chance to make things right. That’s all.”Ramona nodded. She and Leni had agreed to give the media a vague answer about their presence because they never truly got Charles’ approval for a partner

    Fredrick was ecstatic. He was within arm's reach of Kyle Wright, one of the most influential businessmen in the country today. Not only would he establish a connection with the Wrights, but he was also already in partnership with Charles Eros!'Huh!' He thought. Fredrick could already imagine Adrian's envy. How pathetic was his stepbrother? Adrian may have regained the sympathy of their father, Anthony, but in the end, Fredrick still came out victorious!"Mr. Wright, this is an amazing surprise! How can I help you?" Fredrick asked, beaming. Kyle Wright squinted and said, "Yes, you look like the perfect man for the job."'Woah!' Fredrick hissed inside. He wondered what good he did to deserve such luck!Kyle was holding a woman's trench coat. Then, he removed his jacket and gave it to Fredrick, saying, "These coats cost thousands of dollars. Make sure they are well kept."Frerick frowned as he received the jackets. He asked himself, 'Did he think I was one of the cloakroom attendants?'

    The anniversary party was bustling with guests. While half of them mingled in small groups, enjoying appetizers with wine or juices, the rest were captivated by the intriguing interaction between the Wrights and Adrian King.Everyone's expressions varied. Some were simply dumbfounded, a good number were happy for Adrian, while a few were brewing with jealousy, and Tonet was one of them. It was just minutes ago that she and Fredrick were gloating about being partners with the Eros family, but Adrian was apparently connected to the Wrights. How in the world did this happen?What further irritated Tonet was the noticeable humiliation Kyle had done to her son. It was clear to Tonet that Adrian had put them in a bad light before the Wrights, and she wasn't going to let that pass. Tonet's blood boiled as she screamed, "No!"She rushed to them and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Wright, how are you associated with Adrian and Riley? I think there is a big misunderstanding here.""The way you treated my

    'What's happening?' Leni wondered, seething with anger at the way she was being treated. She couldn't grasp why Kyle Wright was backing Adrian, especially after all her efforts to tarnish his reputation. It was as if her status as an Eros meant nothing!Wasn't it a practice for the powerful and wealthy to rub shoulders with each other? Shouldn't Kyle be favoring her since she was more affluent than the Kings?Leni nearly shook her head in disbelief. She reacted, "The Wrights are known to be competent, but why are you insulting us, not Adrian? Don't you want to be associated with the Eros family?""We are selective about who we affiliate with. I'm generally good to those who are kind and have good intentions," Kyle replied. "To my enemies and the enemies of my friends, I am unforgiving."Leni was shocked, and her second mother, Ramona, was equally dumbfounded. Ramona asked, "What makes you think we are not good people, Mr. Wright? It's Adrian who is in the wrong here, not us! He started

    When Leni turned to the Kings, she saw Tonet point at Adrian, Abner, and Anthony, saying, "That means you will be kicked out of the company, officially!""Yes," Nolan echoed. "Anthony, Abner, Adrian, we agreed that you would sell your shares if Fredrick secures the hundred-billion-dollar project from Dowel Landmasters, and here we are. Oliver and I are willing to buy -""You realize you must buy out our shares in your plan, right? You'll need to shell out billions and billions of dollars," Adrian pointed out. "While that may be true, your contract also states that purchases can be made slowly while the opposing board members can be removed immediately," Nolan highlighted. Leni witnessed how Nolan gave off a sly grin. He declared, "So, you might as well leave the anniversary party because you are officially out per the contract you drafted! All of you!""But the hundred-billion dollar contract is not even signed yet," Adrian indicated. Nolan, Tonet, and Fredrick turned to Leni and Ch

    “I don’t understand!” Fredrick screamed. His face looked tense as he turned to Leni and called, “Leni? What is going on?”Leni quickly approached Charles and asked, “Dad? I meant for you to give the project to Fredrick, not Adrian.”“This is a big mistake, everyone,” Leni quickly laughed and faced the audience, creating hand gestures. “My Dad misunderstood my request -”“I did not misunderstand!” Charles raised his voice. He walked up to the front and explained, “I repeat. I give this contract to Adrian King. He is the CEO and the sole owner of ACE Construction Firm.”“And as the CEO of ACE Construction Firm, I have the right to share the project with the King’s Enterprises,” Adrian loudly announced. “What ACE Construction? How can you be the CEO of ACE Construction Firm?” Tonet shrieked in frustration from the crowd below. “He is!” Charles shouted at Tonet, “And I testify to it!”“I can attest to that as well!” Engineer Philips declared, rising from his seat. “Adrian King is my boss

    As Adrian finished speaking, the venue erupted in thunderous applause. From the stage, he could see Abner and Anthony with tears in their eyes, their pride unmistakable.‘I’m proud of you,’ Adrian saw Anthony silently mouth the words, and it tugged at his heart. There was no greater reward than receiving his father’s praise.A smile formed on his face while Adrian nodded in acknowledgment. From afar, he saw his loyal clients, the Venturas, and the Bianchis, continuously clapping their hands. An immense wave of satisfaction washed over him. He felt a profound sense of gratitude, knowing that after years of meticulous planning and hard work, he had finally achieved his goals. When the excitement in the ballroom hushed, Adrian returned his attention to his rivals and ordered, “Since I have said my piece, and I evidently won against Fredrick, making me the new CEO of the King’s Enterprises, I request that the opposing board members and executives to leave this party, as agreed in our con

    Part I: APTAdrian and Riley visited the doctor’s clinic when the triplets were over two years old. Charlie, Jasper, and Kian got the flu. When the triplets entered the doctor’s clinic, they saw a cute baby girl. The baby was just six months old and was sitting on her mother’s lap. “Baby!” Charlie said first. She ran to the baby and held her hand. “Oh, no. Charlie. Don’t bother the baby,” Riley said. She tried to hold Charlie away, but her daughter wanted to play with the infant.“I’m sorry,” Riley said to the baby’s mother. “It’s okay,” the baby’s mother said with a smile. “Your daughter loves babies. Does she want another sibling?”The suggestion made Riley choke. The experience of having triplets was enough for her. She loved her children, but raising them simultaneously had been tough. Sadly, Riley did not get a chance to respond to the mother. Kian and Jasper all rushed to the baby with Charlie. “Hi, Baby!” Kian said. Jasper pinched the infant on the cheek. “Guys, be caref

    “Happy Birthday, Grandpa. I love you and miss you,” Freya said while putting a flower on Abner’s grave. Charlie followed, putting her teddy bear down. She said, “Grandpa, you can have Mr. Bear. So you won’t miss us too much.”Jasper followed, leaving a card that he had drawn for Abner. He asked, “Hey, Grandpa. Is it always a buffet in heaven?”The adults behind the kids laughed. Jasper turned to his parents, objecting, “Grandpa told me there’s a buffet in heaven!”“Dad did say that a lot,” Anthony remarked, chuckling. More than a year had gone by since Abner’s passing, and they all visited him in his mausoleum, the same one that housed his departed wife, Marilyn King. Charles and Realyn were also present, bringing along their son. Carson had made a Lego mansion for Abner. He placed it above his tomb and said, “Grandpa, I made a house for you. Hope you like it.”Kian moved forward next. He pouted as he said, “Great-grandpa Abner, since you left, the house has been a bit boring. Daddy

    “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, Dear Freya. Happy birthday to you!” On Freya’s 6th birthday, everyone gathered again. The celebration was held at the very first Diamond Hotel in Halliport. Freya stood on the stage with her parents and siblings. She wore a crown over her head and a ballroom gown fit for a princess. She had a bright smile before she blew the candles on her cake. The audience erupted into applause, after which the party host asked, “What was your wish, Princess Freya?”“That I will grow strong and healthy so I can be a businesswoman someday!” Freya declared, adding to everyone’s amusement. Praises echoed in the ballroom. Carrying both his sons, Adrian struggled to clap his hands, but Jasper and Kian did it for him. “Yay! My turn to blow!” Charlie said. She was beaming while being held by Riley. “No, me!” Jasper screamed. “No, me!” Kian said. The guests laughed out loud at how Riley and Adrian’s children wanted to blow out the candles

    Over a year passed. “Five minutes more, and we are done,” Adrian said as he continued to run on the treadmill. “Honey, I can’t believe I’m back to running for two straight hours again,” Riley said while catching her breath. Her body was sweating profusely, her athletic wear soaked altogether.” It was the same for her husband. Adrian’s skin was glowing in his sweat, and with him running half-naked, he looked mighty fine. “Rrr. Somebody looks hot,” Riley remarked while checking out her husband. “We should have sex after shower.”“We should,” Adrian said while chuckling. “The last time we tried to make love, Freya walked in on us.”“We should learn to lock the door,” Riley said, but locking the doors was easier said than done when Freya always demanded their time and attention whenever they were home. Since delivering the Triplets, Riley had always asked Adrian to be her exercise buddy. Although her postpartum belly has still not fully recovered, she is getting there. The best part i

    “What? Why can’t we see Riley before the delivery?” Renee asked, furious. “Why is she delivering early?”“It’s a delicate pregnancy, Aunt, and she is going into operation right now. Don’t worry. I will take care of Riley,” Zia said. Zia knew that Riley had hidden the truth about her pregnancy. During her second trimester, Riley had attempted to wear baggy clothes to conceal her growing belly. Zia also knew Riley purposely evaded seeing her parents and aunt personally in the recent months.Only Zia, Clint, Abner, Adrian, and Riley knew the truth. Zia even colluded with Riley, giving her a fake ultrasound report.Now, Riley was already 34 weeks pregnant. It was too early for her to give birth, but it had to be done. Going further into the pregnancy was too dangerous. “What’s her condition? Is it polyhydramnios?” Renee asked. This was one of Renee’s suspicions, but Zia always found a way to avoid the topic. “It’s one of those rare pregnancies, Aunt - Oh! I hear Riley crying. I better g

    Time passed again, and it was finally time for Zia to give birth to her twins. Zia had no complications during her pregnancy. Thus, she decided to give birth vaginally. She was prepared for the worst. Zia had delivered countless babies and witnessed different kinds of mothers, including those who screamed, cried, prayed, counted numbers, and more. So, Zia was quiet despite the labor pains. However, it was not the same for her husband, Clint.Zia wanted to avoid an epidural if possible, saving it as a last resort. During labor, she hummed and took deep breaths. They were in their birthing suite, with Clint holding Zia’s hand. Between the two of them, it looked like Clint was about to give birth. He was sweating and already jittery. He said, “Zia, you are so strong. I love you so much.”Soon, it was time for Zia to push. She gave it her all. Clint and her doctor helped her through it. However, after several attempts, the first baby was still not coming out! Zia’s doctor decided to perf

    “Honey? What are you doing here?” Adrian asked, surprised to see Riley stepping onto the private jet. He was scheduled for a trip to check on the project’s progress in Hawaii, so her unexpected arrival caught him off guard.“I’m coming with you!” Riley declared. “It’s been a while since I accompanied you on business trips. Why not mix business with pleasure? And don’t worry, Freya is staying with Aunt, and so is Grandpa. I figured it was about time we had more alone time together.”She beamed and settled on the seat next to Adrian. She pressed her lips into his ear and pointed out, “You do realize that I am about to ovulate. This is the perfect time to have lots of sex!”“Honey,” Adrian said. “I know about that. I was coming back tomorrow morning.”“Yes, but why not have lots of sex in paradise?” Riley pointed out. “Maybe we need a little adventure.”She scanned the private jet, and after finding Adrian’s new male assistant, she whispered, “We can have, you know, sex on the beach, on t
