View MoreAs the hush of morning fell, whispers of mischief danced across the soft light filtering through the windows.
"Jasmine, breakfast is ready". Jade's voice cut sharp through the quiet, resounding across the house.
"Got it coming!" Jasmine responded chirpily while her voice still tinged with sleep. She stretched out lazily, feeling the cool air brush against her skin as she pulled herself up from bed.
"Let me shower now," she mumbled while removing her clothes and stepping into the bathroom, turning on the water before pouring soap into the bathtub.
The warm water surrounded her, washing away a tidal wave of calmness over her.
Finally, some peace, she thought while brushing her teeth as the hot water soothed the throbbing headache that lingered on her, her body drying with each part of her towel.
No sooner was she near the closet than the door swung open with a bang.
"Jasmine We have been waiting for so long. Come on so that we can finally have some breakfast!"
Jayla hastened in, frustration laced in her voice. "Almost done, be right there" Jasmine sighed, watching as Jayla exited, still fuming.
She headed downstairs already shifting to the day ahead where the rest of the family were seated in the dining room, waiting for her.
Her mom looked up, a trace of impatience in her eyes.
"Spurt ahead, We've been waiting for you so we can get started."
"Good morning, Mom and Dad. Sorry for the delay. I woke up with a slight headache," Jasmine explained as she took her seat ignoring the tension that hung in the air.
Her parents exchanged a glance before responding, "No worries. Hope you're feeling better now, much better, thanks," offering a small smile.
Jayla rolled her eyes; impatience was written across her face.
"Can we eat now, please? I am famished!" she said, already reaching for the toast.
She then turned to her father.
"Dad, can I have your credit card? I want to go shopping at the Louis Vuitton mall. They've got a new collection of bags that I would love to have."
Looking up from his plate, he nodded with a smile, "Sure sweetie, anything for my girls."
Jade, ever the thinker, suddenly spoke up, "You know, it just came to me; what if the Earth suddenly stopped rotating?"
Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Not this again, she said. Just stop. We know you're a nerd."
Jade shot back unfazed, "Being a nerd isn't a bad thing, you know."
The tension in the room thickened and Jayla quickly intervened, "Please, no argument. Let's not start this again. Want to come shopping with me?"
Jayla asked, turning toward Jade with hopeful eyes.
"Yeah, sure. I need a new top for next weekend anyway," Jade replied, as the earlier tension dissipated.
The sisters exited the dining room, headed to the Car, and turned on the sound system, playing a step ahead of Kygo's "It Ain't Me." It was their favorite—one that set them to have a carefree day.
They started singing, their voice harmonising to the upbeat melody as they prepped for a day of indulgence.
Later that morning, they pulled up to the Golden Oaks Mall, with its smooth, cream-colored marble floors reflecting the crystal chandeliers overhead, with lush greenery adding a touch of elegance to the opulent scene.
A security guard opened the door with a slight bow.
"Good morning, ladies," he greeted as the workers in the store nodded in familiarity, no doubt remembering them and their wealth from many other visits like this one.
"I'll catch up with you in a bit," Jade said as they entered the mall.
Jayla nodded and headed toward the Louis Vuitton store.
As she came nearer to where the sales receptionist was seated, the lady greeted her warmly. "Welcome, Ms. Jayla. How may I assist you today?"
Jayla smiled. "I'd love to see your limited edition handbags, please."
The receptionist nodded and went to the counter to retrieve the collection.
A tall, handsome man carrying an array of expensive dresses approached just then.
Jayla turned, and her breath caught in her throat as their eyes met. *Who is he?* she wondered.
"Woah, your girlfriend must be so lucky," Jayla blurted out, her voice barely above whisper level, unable to hide her curiosity.
He turned out a charming smile. "Why do you say that?"
"Because you're holding a lot of expensive clothes," Jayla replied, feeling slightly flustered.
He chuckled softly. "I work here. My name's Axel."
Jayla felt her cheeks flush. "Oh I'm so sorry," she said, her voice faltering.
"Not at all," Axel replied, his smile unwavering.
As she fumbled with her bag, it slipped from her grasp, and Axel was immediately down on one knee beside her reaching for the same strap.
Their hands touched and for a moment, everything seemed to freeze.
A jolt of electricity ran through her as their eyes locked, and her breath caught as she felt herself being pulled in—like metal to a magnet, by some invisible force.
Axel pulled back, his expression unreadable, but his voice was soft. "Sorry," he mumbled.
Jayla blinked through the moment. "No worries," she replied, trying to steady her racing heart.
The receptionist returned with the handbags, and Jayla took a forceful interest in him, though her mind could not leave Axel.
She studied the bags, peeping up at him, and wondered what just occurred—and what that might mean.
"Your bag is ready," the receptionist says to Jayla, still lost in her thoughts about him; she stares at him before heading out with her purchased item, trying to maintain her composure in a rush.
She had unknowingly left her phone behind as she reached into her bag to call Jade, realizing she left it on top of the counter.
She rushes back inside the Louis Vuitton store and runs into Axel.
She almost falls but Axel instantly catches her by the waist, their lips now inches apart. Axel's smile, a smug expression on his face.
"Two encounters in one day," he says, smooth and teasing.
Jayla struggles to keep herself in check as she nods and says, "Yes, it seems."
He slowly releases his grip on her waist, and she quickly retrieves her phone from the counter.
As she turned to leave, Axel called out to her, "Can I have your number? It seems the universe is determined to bring us closer."
Still cautious, She hesitated before finally giving him her number. "I'm Jayla, by the way," she says, realizing she hadn't introduced herself before.
"Nice to meet you," Axel replied, extending his hand before turning to head back to his job.
As Jayla walked away, her mind raced with thoughts of their encounter, imagining what might come next.
Just then, Jade appears beside her. "Jayla, I'm done shopping. Can we go now?" she asks, snapping Jayla back to reality.
Trying to conceal her excitement Jayla thought to herself, Let me get to know him before I tell her everything.
They exited the mall, to head home.
Getting into the car, Jade notices Jayla's unusual reaction but doesn't say anything, knowing her sister will spill the beans eventually.
Back at the mall, Axel finishes his shift and gets into a cab to head home, Jayla still on his mind, knowing fully well that he has caught another with his charms and good looks and this was just the beginning.
Finally, they arrive home, and Jade calls out, "We're home," but no one answers. "No one's home," they both murmur.
Jayla goes into her room to start typing around on her phone, still mentally shaken from what happened in the mall.
An onset of heat suddenly flushed her.
As Axel arrives home, he messages Jayla. With the buzzing, Jayla is so startled that she squints on herself. "Oh, fuck!" she murmurs, half embarrassed and half amused.
"Look what this guy made me do to myself," a smile tugged at her lips as she read his chat.
They quickly fell into an easy conversation, words flowing naturally between them.
Hours passed before Axel noticed the time; he swore to himself, knowing he hadn't washed off his face. "Good night Jayla," he typed, logging off for the night.
Jayla feels a surge of elation and excitement as she absent-mindedly touches her breast, thoughts of Axel lingering.
Meanwhile, Axel stood up as he was caught by the sound outside his door.
Knock knock. "Baby, I'm home." the voice called out.
A wave of panic washes over him, as his body becomes tensed, beads of sweat oozing onto his brow.
The Last Battle – Axel's Final Stand The triplets burst into Audrey's apartment, closing the door. Audrey sat in the middle of the room, holding herself, face white. Jasmine gave her a quick glance. "You okay?" Audrey nodded but winced her hands. Jayla sighed deeply. "You should have mentioned it when he called." Audrey gazed down. "I thought I could handle it." Jade snorted. "Not with Axel. He doesn't listen to no." Jasmine stood by the window, narrowed eyes intently focused as she gazed out. Then she froze. Outside, in front of the window, on the street, a black car. A dark figure in the car. Watching. Waiting. Her heart was pounding. He was here. She spun to her sisters, low voice, resolute. "He's outside." Audrey's eyes widened. "What?" Jayla leaped to the window to look out. Jade cursed under her breath. "That psycho." Jasmine breathed slowly, deeply, attempting to soothe herself. She wasn't scared. She was angry. Axel had done enough already. Sarah was d
The Final Stand – Axel's Last Gamble Audrey was on her couch in her apartment, frowning at her phone, the screen lighting up with an unknown number. Her gut clenched. She knew who it was. The second it started ringing she knew. A shiver ran down her spine, her heart racing. Axel. He was calling her. She swallowed hard, her fists tight. She had blocked him. Had changed her routine. Had tried to close him out of her life. And yet. He'd somehow come back anyway. The ringing stopped. A voicemail message showed up. She was breathing irregularly as she hit play. And then his voice was smooth and even, weighted with something sinfully wicked bouncing off of the walls. "Audrey he said, did you really think I'd let you go that easily?" Her blood went cold. "We both know you still think of me. Of us." Her fists clenched on the phone. No. No, she didn't. She wouldn't. She couldn't. "I gave you your space. I let you pretend. But it's time to come home, sweetheart." Audre
The Fall of a Legacy – Their Father Is Brought to Account Their father slumped in the interrogation room, the stark metal table between him and the detectives. For the first time in his life, he was not in charge. His expensive attorneys weren't going to get him out of this today. His influence, his name, his power—it meant nothing now. The seasoned detective dropped a file onto the desk, reopening it. Pictures. Documents. DNA tests. It all lay before him. "You drew up official papers," the detective said, his own voice tightly controlled. "You drew up fake papers and left your firstborn daughter to live and live comfortably. His father's jaw clenched. The detective continued, "And because of that, Sarah spent her entire life believing she wasn't wanted." A bitter silence. "And now she's dead." For a moment—a fleeting moment—something passed through his father's eyes. Regret? Guilt? Maybe. But too little, too late. The detective leaned in.
The Last Truth – A Mother's Justice The triplets were in their mother's living room, the weight of what they had to say very much on their minds. Their mother sat opposite them, her fists clenched on the armrests of the chair while her face was set in stiff lines. Jasmine took a deep breath. "Mom… we've got something to say." Jayla leaned forward. "Something about Dad." Jade sighed. "And Sarah." Her mother's eyebrows jerked with horror when she said the name Sarah. "What about her?" Jasmine's voice was constricted, but she fought to say something. "She was our sister." Their mother's breath stalled. Her hand gripped the chair as her knuckles turned white. No one uttered a word for a second. Then, in a whisper just above a murmur— "What did you just say?" Jayla swallowed hard. "Sarah… she was Dad's daughter." Jade paused before saying again, "His first daughter." Their mother turned white. "That's not… that's not possible." Jasmine pulled out the pro
The Aftermath – Shadows of the Past The triplets sat in silence, the weight of the news pressing down on them. Sarah was dead. And even after everything she had done. Even after the lies, the betrayals, the destruction It didn’t feel like a victory. Jade let out a slow breath, staring at the floor. “I thought I’d feel… relieved.” Jayla shook her head, her voice quieter than usual. “Me too.” Jasmine's clutch on her cup of coffee spasmed. "She was our sister." Jayla grumbled unwillingly. "Half-sister." Jasmine shut her eyes. "It doesn't matter." For in the end, Sarah had been as lost as they had once been. The difference? She never had her way back. Fraser and Tressa – A New Beginning, or a New Threat? Tressa turned a lock of hair around her finger, watching out the apartment window. "She's really gone," she murmured. Fraser, who stood behind her, let out a deep sigh. "Yeah." Tressa’s chest tightened. Sarah had been many things—an enemy, a rival, a storm in human form.
The Aftermath – A New Future, A Lingering Past Sarah retreated from the front door of Fraser's, her heart pounding in her ears. She'd dreamed to herself for months that she might possibly be able to fix what she'd broken. That she could win him back. But now? Now, she knew more. She'd been too late. Fraser's moved on. And not with someone. With Tressa. A woman as clever, as cunning, as smart as Sarah used to be. Sarah's fists clenched. She'd lost before. But this? This was not the same. This had been done. And she was not so sure that she could do that. And meanwhile – Fraser and Tressa's New Beginning Tressa shut the door, breathing softly as she smiled at Fraser. "A knight?" she said, regarding him. Fraser rubbed at his hair, jaw locked. "That was. unexpected." Tressa smiled, leaning on the wall. "Seriously? You didn't think she'd come crawling back sooner or later, or something?" Fraser breathed slowly. "Part of me did, yes. But that moment I just saw her?"
The Final Confrontation – Axel Witnesses His Downfall Axel lay sprawled on his black penthouse, half a bottle of booze in front of him. It was done. Audrey had won. His secrets were revealed. His reputation, so carefully built, was ruined. And now? Now, he was nothing. A shadow of his former self and suddenly there was a knock on the door. It resounded through the stillness. Axel growled, running a hand through his messed-up hair. He wasn't really in the mood for visitors. And if it was some bill collector or worse—some woman from his other life who'd come to collect from him for what he'd done— He wasn't in the mood. He rose slowly, dragging himself to the door. When he opened it— His blood ran cold. Standing in the hall, smiling like they owned the place, were Jasmine, Jayla, Jade— And Tressa. Axel's gut clenched. "What in the devil are you doing here?" He was curt, rough-voiced. Jayla stood in the doorway, arms crossed. "Wow. You're such an ugly person." Jade
The Pull of the Past – Audrey's Weak Moment Audrey's breath was shaking as she clutched the phone held against her ear. Axel's voice was harsh, deep—altered. "Audrey… don't hang up." She should. She should hang up, push him away, and be done with it. But something in the manner of him speaking her name— Something in the urgency in his tone— Freeze her in mid-air. "Why are you calling me, Axel?" Her voice softer than she'd meant. A breath of silence. Then, a stuttering, nervous breath on the other line. "I just… I wanted to hear you." Audrey swallowed, her heart beating too hard, too fast. "Axel, we—" She closed her eyes. "We're over." A gasp of shock. Then, his voice—soft now. "Are we?" Audrey's stomach plummeted. He was doing it again. That thing where he made her doubt herself. Where he had gotten her doubting everything. But she wasn't that girl anymore. She wasn't going to let him wheedle her back in. "Goodbye, Axel." And this time? She hung up. Her hand
The Aftermath – Breaking Down and Breaking Free Audrey sat by the café window, staring outside at the steam curling above the coffee before her. Weeks had passed since she'd left Axel in the dust. Weeks since her world had come crashing down. Since she'd had to accept that the man of her dreams never existed in the first place. The hurt, in the beginning, had been unbearable. The nights she'd lain awake, reaching for her "phone, only to recall that she'd deleted his number. The mornings she'd woken up expecting the refreshed "good morning, beautiful" text message that never came. The memories of all the falsehoods that pretended to be love. But now? Now, the pain was starting to feel different. Not gone. Never forgotten. But less heavy. Like a weight that she was learning to carry slowly. She took out her phone, reading through messages from the triplets. They'd been calling to check in on her. So had Tressa. That still wasn't sitting well. She had every right to hat
