The kids were still sleeping, and Elara tiptoed to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. She had already prepared the base for her baked stuff and now Morgana and Barbara were completing the baking part.

She was thinking of increasing their salaries along with bonuses. They both deserved it after putting in so much hard work along with her.

“Did you even bat an eye, or you stayed awake all night, like an owl in excitement?” Elara rolled her eyes when she heard her friend's hoarse voice behind her.

She poured more water into the coffee machine, and quietly added coffee to it. She smiled when Thalia’s loud, unlady-like yawn echoed in the kitchen. She switched on the coffee machine.

“I won’t be able to meet my kids before going to work. That will be too early,” Amid the buzzing of the coffee machine, Elara’s voice had a tinge of sadness.

“It’s just for a few days, Elara. They are understanding and mature-headed like their mama. They will understand. Trust me,” Thalia took out two mugs from

    “Vicky is back! And you are telling me today?” Thalia asked her when she was getting ready for office.“Yes, she is back. But there is something odd going on.” She said while brushing her fingers through the thick mane.“And that is?”“After that first meeting, she is no longer there to bully me. She seems so busy that …”“Yeah. That is strange. But what is Aiden’s reaction to all this?” Elara almost choked on her friend’s query and got up from the couch after taking the last sip of her coffee.“I think the office car is here.” Ever since she told Aiden for less communication, he was sending his personal car for her pick and drop. He never visited her café.And he was seeing kids in the afternoon during lunch break when Elara used to be at the café.She hadn’t seen him since that Monday morning, and this was killing her from inside. She had been cursing herself for what she told him.She had hurt him.From the moment he was back in her life, he had been nothing but respectable to her.

    “Are you alright,” she just shook her head with a quivering smile when the Barista boy asked her after taking a careful look at her face. Elara didn’t want to talk to anyone. She didn’t want anyone to show her even an ounce of concern.She wanted to run far, far away from there. Or maybe wanted to leave the world. She wanted to die.Aiden would easily take care of the kids behind her. Right?Unlike other days, today she couldn’t show the customers her usual chirpy self. After lunchtime, fortunately, there were not many customers left so she went to the pantry and slid down to the floor.Taking out her phone, she punched the numbers on it, “Hello, mom.” She closed her eyes when she heard Sebastian’s voice. “Baby!” she smiled through the tears running down her face, “what are you doing?”“We were playing puzzles, Mom. How is the work? Are they liking your treats?” He asked her and she had to clutch her lips tightly before answering him,“Umm hmm. I think so.” She pursed her lips into

    In the car, Vicky was fixing her makeup when her phone started ringing.“Yeah, Noah.”She gave a subtle glance towards Meer who was sitting beside her in the backseat. He was busy listening to some music on headphones.This was the best thing Vicky liked about Meer. He was not a chatty kind of man and never tried to poke his nose in her business.His tone used to be strictly business and knew when he was not needed by her.“Hey, Vicky. Did you talk to Aiden? Why is he here?”“Of course, Noah. Aiden is here for business and let’s accept it. Elara is very good at baking. She is just there as a baker.”“Vicky. Are you crazy? They are getting back together because of the kids and you are telling me…”“Listen, you shithead.” She quickly looked sideways. Meer’s eyes were closed, and he was swaying his head while listening to music.“I don’t care what you do with YOUR Elara and about HER kids. Aiden is perfectly normal with me and is actually happy that I am helping in his business. And Elara

    “Stop fighting my touch, Elara.” He muttered near her ear, “Give in.”“I might be drunk, Noah.” She slurred and covered his hand with hers, halting it from going any further, “But you are not going to do this to me.” With determination, she pierced her nails into his skin, making him wince. “Are you sick or something? That day you were sleeping on him shamelessly and now you can’t even …” he stopped and then as if he had given up. His hands shifted to her face, and he pulled it close to him. Elara felt his sloppy lips against her mouth, kissing her.“You will like it. I am sure.” He murmured against her mouth and had to flinch when felt her teeth biting his lower lip. However, his stubborn mode was on. He wanted her to feel him. She needed to feel his touch so that she would know how he could please her in so many ways.Instead of backing off, he started grinding his mouth on hers. She was at her weakest and was not able to push him away.She tried to protest but he smiled, thinkin

  • Hey, Mr. CEO! I Am The Mommy Of Your Triplets.   33- Elara's Stuff

    When Elara's eyes opened, her head was still reeling. The song that she was singing last night kept echoing in her head throughout the night.And then she remembered bits of the last night. How she ended up crying in the car and then decided to visit the bar to get drunk. How she wanted someone so badly who could hold her without being judgmental.And then the presence of Noah beside her. Urgh!Why was he doing that? He once tried to forcefully kiss her in school days too but then she was sane enough to slap him hard.He at once asked for her forgiveness and promised her that this wouldn’t happen again.But last night he did it again. God knows what else he could do if Aiden hadn’t reached on time…Aiden!“Aiden?” she sat up straight forgetting about her hangover momentarily and found herself in an oversized button-down white shirt…This white shirt DIDN’T BELONG to her!And she was not wearing anything underneath. No panties. Oh my God!What did I do last night?She hurriedly went

    Holding a coffee cup in her hands, Elara was eyeing her kids who were busy playing with their father. Aiden had taken off his t-shirt and was sweating profusely. The newly appointed governess was sent inside, to allow some privacy to the family. Sebastian had a blindfold on his face, and he was searching for his sisters and his dear daddy. The moment he was approaching any of his sisters to hold, Aiden used to be too quick to lift his daughter and run from there. Elara couldn’t help the mirth when she saw Aiden saving his daughters like crazy. When Sebastian was about to get frustrated, Aiden was quick to stand near him, allowing him a chance to catch his father, “Come on, Dad. That was too obvious!” Seb took off the blindfold and waved at Elara, “Right, Mom? He did it intentionally!”Elara shook her head. The dear daddy was helping every kid. Sebastian was not an exception.“Mommy! Join us!” Zoe waved her hand frantically. Before Elara could utter a ‘no’, all of them were pulling

    “So, you talked to him about Vicky? You have become bolder, Elara. Just like Mimi. That was very courageous of you to call him bast*ard!” Thalia started laughing on the call teasing her and all Elara wanted to do was get inside her phone and pull Thalia's hair. “By the way, did you two sleep together last night?” The question made Elara blush to the roots. “No, Thalia. We just snuggled!” Said a heavy voice behind Elara who wanted to die in shame. She was in the kitchen talking to Thalia on the speaker. Shit! “Aww, Aiden. That’s not good. Why just snuggled?” Thalia asked him cheekily and Aiden had to scratch the nape of his neck, “Ask your friend. I am ready for more, but she likes those snuggles!” “Aiden!” Elara screamed at him giving him a warning glare, “Aren’t you getting late for office?” “And aren't you getting late for your bakery?” “I was making breakfast for you.” They both had momentarily forgotten that Thalia could hear them. “And I am more interested in the baked go

    Elara was still sitting on the cold floor against the wall. There had been something going on in Aiden’s life that she was never aware of. What was that?He told her that the lesser she knew the better. But now she wanted to know. She couldn’t wait. Four years back her life turned upside down because she thought Vicky was back in his life.To date, Aiden wasn’t engaged to Vicky. Never married her. Shouldn’t he have done that the day he divorced Elara?“Elara, ma’am. Elara, ma’am.” Her barista guy was calling her in a hushed tone.At this time of the day, there was nothing they might need right now. So why couldn’t they just let her breathe?“Elara, ma’am.” The same secretive hushed voice came through the door, “Office executives are here on the inspection round. You need to be here.”“Round?” she quickly stood up and started straightening her top. After a quick fix of her hair, she came out and saw Aiden standing there with his team.He was holding their menu card and was talking to

Mommies and daddies were running after small kids, honeymoon couples were busy taking their selfies, and the suited men were ready to take their next flight after a small transit.“Daddy! Zoe is again poking her finger in my neck,” Seven-year-old Sebastian tried to dodge his sister with a playful grin who was now coming to ruffle his hair. Aiden looked over his shoulder and found the nannies walking behind him, holding the tiny hands of two-year-old triplet boys.It was a much-needed trip for his family. His beloved wife needed a break.

    Elara wasn’t ready to detach her lips from Aiden’s mouth and he was an equal participant in the kiss. Genelia ushered the guests politely out of the conference room.She had a small smile when she closed the door behind her.“Mrs. Lockwood seems quite emotional,” one of the guests remarked. Genelia who was a bit worried that they might remark on the unprofessionalism of the boss nodded her head with a smile.“I am happy that you didn’t make it an issue.”“Why would we? Aiden Lockwood is lucky to have such a lovely wife by his side.” They talked good-naturedly about it and then headed to ‘Lemons and Tarts’ for some more gingerbread.***“Honey,” Aiden tried to speak between the kisses, she was showering on his mouth and face. Her lips had gotten pink during the constant kissing.“Cupcake!”“Shhh. Let me taste you some more, Aiden.” She said holding his face. Aiden closed his eyes and took a long sigh. He couldn’t wait to go home and make love to her.He could feel her hands all over hi

    Unknown person’s pov:We were extremely poor. We were so poor that all I and my family could manage were the meals that mostly consisted of bread and water.We used to dip bread pieces in water because sometimes it used to be so stale and hard that we could not chew it without dipping it in water.We couldn’t even afford coffee and soups in the winter season. All we could do to avoid cold was hot water. Once there was nothing at home except a few slices of bread and I had to control my hunger to let my siblings feed on it. My stepfather ditched us when I was too small. Mom struggled a lot to keep our tummies filled. She used to work at a bar and could only manage to pay rent and once-a-day meal. We were five siblings. I was the eldest and the illegitimate one. According to my mom, my father was her first love. They were in love and wanted to marry young but then my father met an accident and could never know that I existed in my mom’s tummy.Then she met my stepfather who used to p

    After four hours of transit at Dubai Airport, Vicky was now boarding the next plane to Germany. She took out her phone to switch it off when it pinged.An email from Aiden.She opened it and found a document.“What is it?” She clicked the document murmuring to herself and then gasped in excitement.It was the divorce decree. He had signed the divorce papers. Elara was again divorced. Yay!She couldn’t contain her happiness and dialed his number.His phone was not responding. He must be on the plane.She then dialed Meer’s number.“Hey. Can you connect me to Aiden?” she just wanted to check if Aiden was serious with her or playing some kind of sick joke.“Hey, Vicky. Where are you? What about the contracts you worked so hard for? You didn’t even bother to send an email for your sick leave.”She could detect the frustration in his voice.“Yeah. I am sorry, Meer. But my question is still unanswered. Where is Aiden?”“I don’t know, man. His family is also worried for him. He hasn’t come

    Vicky was quickly packing her stuff including her cash, jewelry, some gemstones, and very few dresses. Aiden could always buy her new clothes as he had gotten a great taste.She needed to get out of here before Greyson’s men could reach her. Jack’s wife had gone crazy and had threatened her that she would never spare Vicky. Taking a last look around, Vicky sighed in tension. Though Aiden was with her she could not take a relieved sigh, until she landed on German soil.“I hope this is the last time I am escaping from a place,” she murmured with frustration and wheeled out her compact suitcase.She came out of the modern apartment building and stood out waiting for Aiden.“Honey. You should have waited for my call,” Aiden said placing her small luggage in the car trunk.“I just wanted to get out of here,” she said a little desperately. “I understand. Don’t worry. You are safe with me. It’s just that… we can’t take risks.” Aiden clasped the seat belt around him and inhaled a heavy brea

    Vicky Barone’s pov continues: Like a perfect gentleman, Aiden owned the baby. He promised to man up for taking up the responsibility of the baby. Being a well-raised guy, he left Elara so that she could build her future too. He was never expecting that she was pregnant and would attempt to run away. Neither was I. She proved to be more daring than my expectations. Collin Greyson was a powerful man, and he was looking for me like a hawk. I wanted to hide behind Aiden but the hunger for power and to take over his office was growing inside me. The revenge I wanted to take from Edmund was burning fire inside me… To get the contracts, I started using men to my advantage. First, it was Mr. Wendell, the fake one. Then the real one. And then Mr. Jack. All was going well until his wife walked in. I had to run for my life and sacrifice those contracts. Thankfully Aiden didn’t get mad at me. But I was sure he must be upset. Then one fine day Jack’s wife walked into my office and got

    Vicky Barone's POV:Ah! You all know me already. I’m Vicky. Vicky Barone. The most beautiful and most gorgeous girl in high school. Boys used to run after me. And the moment I met Elara, I wanted to be her friend.Why? Because she was fat, and I needed someone to feel superior. The school was full of all the hot shots. It was not easy to impress anyone with money. So, I thought why not Elara?She wasn’t rich. She was the daughter of a gardener. No one would even bother to throw a second glance at her except Noah. But later Noah told me that he just liked her as a friend.He never had any intention to develop a romantic relationship with her. And then that hot hunk made his entry into our lives. The one and only.Aiden Lockwood. The handsome. The hottest.I saw the way girls were falling for him when they saw him first time. Even Elara Smith who rarely got impressed with anyone had her mouth hung open.That day I decided that Aiden was fuc*king mine. He belonged to me.But … but

    “Pregnant?” If Elara’s face was pale, Vicky’s had turned ashen white, “h… how is it possible? Aiden… were you two sleeping behind my back?” Vicky couldn’t believe it. After waiting for this man for four more years, he had again slipped out of her clutches. “Why?” At this point, she wanted to take her own life. Everything had come to an end for her. She no longer trusted words like love, affection, or Aiden. “I can explain, Vicky,” Aiden raised his arms in total surrender, “go to your office and I’ll explain everything to you. I promise, love.” Love? Elara who was now handling her pounding headache, her eyes snapped up to look at Aiden questioning him. But his focus stayed solely on Vicky. What was exactly cooking in his head? He must have felt her eyes on him because his eyes momentarily shifted towards his wife, and he winked. Shaking his head, he went to his desk to get his phone. “I am feeling fine. It’s just the pancakes, guys.” Elara tried to protest when Aiden calle

    “Don’t walk away, lady when I am talking to you,” she heard Vicky hissing and turned back in surprise, “I am not done talking to you. Come here.” Vicky snarled.The woman was already upset. Her intuition was telling her that something bad was about to happen.However, Genelia didn’t seem too fazed by her anger, “I am sorry, Ms. Barone. I think your anger is misplaced. Which side of the bed did you get up on today by the way?”“I am your boss, dammit and you are not allowed to joke with me. Especially when I am upset.” Right now, Vicky wanted to kill this lady who was acting like she knew it all.“If you are upset then please avoid talking to me. I am leaving and I would really appreciate it if you don’t call me again.”With that Genelia left the space leaving a more furious Vicky who was clenching her fists. “I will teach you a lesson. I will teach everyone a lesson who will try to act superior to me. How dare you, Edmund. You old fool. How dare you put Elara’s name there when I am t
