Chapter 28 “Hey, you finally remembered that you left a best friend on this side of the world. How ungrateful of you!” Paul grumbled the moment he heard Ella’s voice. “You haven’t changed one bit, have you? Always complaining about this or that.” Ella shot back. Paul chuckled and just as he was about to continue teasing Ella, he felt that something was not right. His best friend was not as cheerful as she has always been. “What is up girl, you don’t sound okay.” When Ella heard her best friend, she did not know why she suddenly felt emotional. She felt like crying and she sniffed her nose. Just a single sentence and he could already tell that she was not fine. What a good friend she has! Paul was now convinced that Ella was not okay. He quietly left the bed since he did not want to wake his wife up and headed to the study room. The moment he closed the door, he asked in a concerned voice, “Darling, what happened? Did someone bully you?” “No.” Ella shook her head. After calming
Chapter 29 If anything, he knew that Ella was the best mom in the world. Sometimes, he was even envious of how she loved and spoiled her children. So, he did not understand where this self-pity was coming from. Ella pondered about it before she said, “They said that they are always envious of other kids playing with their dads. They want me to find someone who will take care of them and take care of me. It made me think that they have been considerate of me and stopped asking about their biological father because they did not want to hurt me.” “You have sensible kids and although they are more mature than kids their age, they are still children who need to be pampered and taken care of. Although you are doing everything you can to take care of them, they still need a male figure that they can look up to and consider the person their role model.” “Being envious of other kids is part of the growing up process. Actually, your kids only stopped asking about their biological dad becaus
Chapter 30 Her eyes widened as she screamed in her mind, ‘What. The. Hell. Is. Not. Happening.’ Looking at her mother’s shocked expression, Clarissa felt accomplished. She felt that her mother was only shocked because the guys on the tablet were too handsome, that she was finding it difficult to choose one. She urged as she further pushed the tablet towards her mother, “Mommy, quickly pick one. Who do you like among all these men?” Ella lowered her head and looked at the tablet. There was a total of ten men and each one of them was extremely handsome. Looking at the names displayed and their unique features described, Ella’s lips twitched. Just for how long have they been planning this? The first one was Mason Queen. He was the CEO of Queen’s Investment company, he was thirty years old and he was 5’6 feet tall. His net worth was one hundred million US dollars, and he was considered to be among the rich in the city. Rumors have it that he found his girlfriend cheating on him so
Chapter 31 “So, how did it happen so fast?” Paul asked. His gossipy heart had been ignited after realizing that there was more to the story. “Well, that is thanks to your god-kids. They planned everything.” “What?” Paul was shocked. He definitely did not expect that as a response. “It looks like after the conversation I had with them last night, they felt that I will not do anything so, they decided to take matters into their own hands. They compiled a list of bachelors in the city and showed it to me this morning.” “Haha, what?” Paul was shocked and amused at the same time that he ended up laughing out loud. His god-children were not called geniuses for no reason. “This is not a laughing matter,” Ella said in a serious tone. Paul laughed some more before he calmed down, “Tell me, how did you react and who did you end up choosing as your blind date?” “Did I have a choice?” “What do you mean?” “There was a list of ten men, each with their distinct features highlighted. I was
Chapter 32 “Boss, someone sent the flowers to you and since you were in the meeting, I decided to receive them for you.” One of her secretaries said. “Oh, who sent them?” Ella looked at the flowers absentmindedly as she asked. “I don’t know boss. There was a card inside but the delivery guy said that only you can look at it.” Pete looked at the huge banquet of flowers and looked at his boss. “Boss, I think that you have a secret admirer.” “Oh my God, they are so beautiful. If I were the boss, I would probably offer myself to whoever sent them without a second thought.” When she heard her secretary, Ella laughed out loud, “Darling, you need to set your standards a little higher than that.” Anyway, Ella was delighted to see such beautiful flowers, after her day started off in such a rough manner. After seeing the flowers, she felt that her day was only getting better and she was no longer feeling dreadful, about the fate that was about to befall her tonight. With her mind refresh
Chapter 33 “What? If you were sent an invite for a blind date, what has that got to do with me?” Ella retorted. “You know, I was just asking for your consent since I don’t want you to feel bad. I don’t want to be any misunderstanding between us. You know that I have just found you after searching for so long, and I am not ready to lose you again.” Declared Daniel. “What do you mean?” Daniel did not say anything to elaborate on his statement. He repeated his question in a more gentle way, “Nothing. Should I go or should I not go?” Ella was so displeased that she was not even thinking straight. She repeated her words in a cold voice, “As I said, it is none of my business, all right. I am not related to you in any way so, you can do whatever you want with your life. Whether you go on a blind date or whether you get married, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.” “Are you sure we are not related in any way?” “What, no way. How could I be related to you? And stop calling me or el
Chapter 34 “Wow, who are you?” the makeup artist looked at Ella and asked. Even her assistant could not help but marvel, “Wow, boss. You are becoming more skilled with each passing day. I have never seen you reach this level.” “It is not me. I have always told you that makeup depends on the person you are applying to. Ella has been taking good care of her skin. It is in very good condition, and to be honest I did not do much.” The makeup artist looked at Ella with glittering eyes. Ella was looking at herself in the mirror and there was nothing but absolute amazement in her beautiful eyes. “Ella, what do you think? Are you satisfied?” she inquired. Although she already knew the answer, she just wanted confirmation from the horse’s mouth. “It is more than I wished for, thank you so much.” Ella humbly replied to the makeup artist. After that, she looked back in the mirror, blushing at her beauty, “Wow, I have never known that I can be this beautiful. I am almost falling in love wit
Chapter 35 The door was pushed open and Daniel walked inside, holding a banquet of freshly packed red roses in his hands. Ella’s back was facing the door. She was forced to turn around when she heard the door being opened, and the moment they shared eye contact, they could not look away. Daniel was stunned when he saw Ella and his heart immediately skipped a beat. The woman before him was wearing a blue custom-made dress and it perfectly fits her, hugging her body and highlighting her godly figure. Although she had given birth to five kids, her chest was still full and it enhanced her enthrall, forcing Daniel to unknowingly swallow down a chunk of his mouth fluid. Her face was delicately made, her red lips were inviting and when she flustered her eyes, Daniel felt his member, three inches down the belly get excited. His heart was pounding so hard that he could hear the beats in his ears. He looked at Ella as if he was under some kind of spell and he had been trapped. Ella on the

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
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
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 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 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 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 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 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
