"Thank you for your patience!"
Chapter 106 One year went by in a flash, before Ella knew it, it was already Christmas. She remembered all those Christmas when her kids would be running around, decorating the house and everything and her mood became sullen. Daniel took a single glance and his wife and he knew that she was missing her children again. Over the year, the kids had only called once or twice, especially those who were in the army. Castro rarely came home and as for Clarissa, she was now a big celebrity and her whereabouts were always unknown. “Miss them?” he asked as he kissed his wife on the lips. Although they were getting old, Ella’s beauty was intact. There was not a single wrinkle on her face and she seemed as if she was living in reverse time. Ella touched her husband’s face and nodded, “When can I get to see them?” “Why don’t you give them a call and see what is going on?” Daniel suggested. “I don’t want to. The moment I hear their voices, I will be tempted to go where they are and I might c
Chapter 107 After dinner, the family of eight sat in front of the fireplace, watching TV. December was filled with cold air and Ella was huddled in Daniel’s arms, as she asked her kids about their experience in the army, and Carl’s life abroad. She looked at her daughter who had become beautiful, and then at her two sons who had become manly, that they could make a girl’s heart race and her gaze became emotional. “Was life too hard in the army?” Clare, Caleb, and Carl looked at their mother before they shared a glance. Clare cleared her throat and stated, “I won’t lie to you. It was tough and very exhausting at first. I even thought of coming back but I did not want to embarrass you and Dad, so I just had to grit my teeth and bear through it.” Caleb picked up from where Clare left and he continued to narrate, “We were placed in different training camps and we rarely saw each other. But when we did, Clare and I were still undergoing our training while Carl had already become a hi
Chapter 108 Carl’s heart trembled when he heard his father’s laugh. It was full of meaning and he even thought for a second that his father had found out about his secret identity. He was about to say something when his father spoke to him, “Come with me.” As Daniel said that, he stood up and walked towards the stairs. Carl hesitated for a moment before he followed his father. Daniel walked to his study room without looking back. Before he closed the door, he heard footsteps from behind. “Have a seat.” Carl was apprehensive as he looked at his father’s calm expression but he still sat down in the end. Daniel did not beat around the bush and immediately went to the main point, “Was your hunting tonight successful?” Carl could no longer hide the shock on his face. His father was looking at him, taking in all his expressions. Carl’s voice trembled slightly when he opened his mouth to speak, “How did you…” “You are my son. How could I not know?” Carl was startled. He thought his
Chapter 109 At seven o’clock, Ella’s guests arrived one after another. She was standing at the door, welcoming them with a sweet smile on her never-aging face. Jane looked at her best friend and smiled happily. She moved closer and hugged her, “I have not seen you in a few weeks and you have become even more beautiful?” “You are the one who has become more beautiful. Seems like Paul has been treating you really well.” After the two ladies hugged, Ella saw a beautiful girl standing behind Jane. She was tall and her beautiful hair cascaded down her shoulders, all the way to her narrow waist. If you looked at her closely, you would realize that she had a striking resemblance to Jane. Ella was stunned when she saw Samantha. She thought she was hallucinating and she only came back to her senses when Samantha called out to her. “Auntie Ella, long time.” Ella opened her arms and hugged Samantha tightly, her eyes turning a little red. She was so emotional as she hugged the all-grown wo
Chapter 110 Carl and the rest had returned to their rooms, and they were getting ready to start the Christmas celebrations. Clare looked at Carl and Caleb and revealed a worried expression. She asked in a small voice, “Have you guys noticed something weird about Castro? His expression before he left was like that of someone who had lost his wife.” Caleb nodded when he heard Clare. “I noticed too, the moment I saw him. When I asked him about it, he was not willing to say anything.” Carl looked at them with a calm expression, “He is going through a heartbreak. But he will be okay.” Both Caleb and Clare were stunned when they heard Carl. They shouted in unison, “What?” They knew that Castro loved Samantha and they had all encouraged him to pursue her. Samantha had finally accepted him and if he was heartbroken, then there was only one possibility, Samantha had ditched their brother. They did not believe for a moment that it was their brother’s fault. They knew how much he loved Sam
Chapter 111 Outside the beautifully decorated garden, a huge table was placed in the middle and all kinds of dishes were arranged there. Seeing the kids appear, Jane stood up and helped Ella with the seating arrangement. The men sat down watching their wives busy around as they sipped their beers. Paul looked at the all-grown kids and he could not help but feel emotional. He said in a hoarse voice, “I can’t believe that time has moved so fast. I still remember the first time I held those rascals in my arms. It feels like yesterday, they are almost eighteen.” Daniel looked at his kids and his expression was filled with love and gentleness. Only if he had not been an ass back then, he would not have missed such a great moment. Every time he thought about how another man had experienced what was supposed his, although he was not in a romantic relationship with his wife, he always felt jealous. But he was glad that Ella had given him another princess whom he had spoiled to the exten
Chapter 112 Their eighteenth birthday arrived in no time. Caleb, Castor, Clare, and Carl had all returned to the country. Castro was preparing to take over his mother’s position as the CEO of Diamond Real Estate Investment because Daniel could still hold his forte for a while at Edmond and Co. Caleb and Clare were rising in ranks because of their brilliant performance while Carl was still a ‘high school teacher.’ Clarissa was now a top-tier model and her fan base had over a billion fans. Everyone was curious about her mysterious background but she remained tight-lipped. Diamond Real Estate has expanded over the years and now it owns several hotels in the city. The quintuplet's eighteenth birthday was being held in the first hotel that Ella bought since it held precious memories for her and her family. The preparations began one week earlier. Every time Ella thought about how her kids were finally going to leave her care, and become independent, although they had never needed her f
Chapter 113 Since Clarissa had decided to go all out, she had invited her friends from Showbiz. A few of them knew of her real identity and they could not miss the opportunity to associate with the rich. The moment six o’clock hit, the gates to the first Diamond Hotel were opened and luxury cars entered one after another. When the fans and the reporters saw that, although it was just a birthday banquet, they felt as if they were here to attend some award ceremony. They were so excited that they could not stop screaming. One celebrity after another descended the luxury cars. Others had their managers and assistants with them while others were on their own. Seeing that even those from the rival companies had come, the fans and reporters were stunned. Was this really a normal birthday banquet, because the lineup on the red carpet, was one of a kind. The fans were screaming once in a while every moment they saw someone they liked. But all their focus was on the gate, waiting for th
I want to take this opportunity to appreciate the Almighty and each one of you. When I started this book, I never imagined that it would be this great and capture the hearts of many of you. I sincerely and wholeheartedly want to thank everyone who took the time to look at my book. Everything that this book has achieved today would not have been possible without your presence. Those who voted, and used their hard-earned money to unlock chapters, those who were patiently waiting for updates even if I could not update, no words could ever be able to tell just how much all of you are precious to me. Kindly continue to support my work in the future and I hope that I will continue to entertain you. ... I will be dropping a story about each of the quintuplets, please stay tuned! But as for now, Adios. Love and Light from yours truly.
Chapter 114 (Last Chapter) They could not believe that she came from such a powerful family and that she had not used her background to make a name for herself in the Showbiz. Those who had laughed at her and made fun of her background, even coming here to specifically embarrass her felt their faces burn. They were so abashed that they wished they could just disappear in an instant. Although Daniel and Ella were not involved in the entertainment, their names were known all over the business world. Just a word from them and they could end their lives in an instant. They were so glad yet fearful that Clarissa had not used her family influence ever since she joined Showbiz, or else they could not have known how they died. Clarissa looked at her brothers and sister and continued the introduction, “My siblings’ identities are very sensitive due to the nature of their jobs, so they cannot reveal their faces or names to the public. But they are glad that there are so many people today to
