Jayden McAllister's POV

I stood by the window of the living room, with my gaze fixed on the sprawling surrounding of my grandfather’s ranch, but my mind was elsewhere. For the past two days, I had been silently observing the peculiar goings- on within these walls. After all, it's what I do best. Watching. Observing. Analyzing. I know others might see what is happening as just a chaotic jumble of interactions and emotions, but as for me, I foresee a bright future. I see connections and opportunities.

My parents were at the center of my attention as my full focus was on the two of them. They thought they were merely playing the roles of pretend husband and wife as a charade in order to convince others. But unbeknownst to them, I saw right through their so-called acting. The way my mom's breath would catch whenever Dad entered the room she's in or whenever he moves closer to her, the almost imperceptible softening of my father's usually stoic and aloof features whenever Mom spoke, or wh

    Jayden McAllister's POV The next morning, I put the first part of the plan into action. As everyone gathered for breakfast, I made sure to position myself where I could observe both Mom and Dad. When Uncle Noah entered, I watched him closely."Good morning, everyone," Uncle Noah said cheerfully, as his eyes immediately sought out Mom as usual. "Trina, you're looking particularly lovely today. Green seems to be your colour."I saw Dad's hand tighten almost imperceptibly on his coffee mug as he said that. Good. That's the way to go…Mom seemed to be uncomfortable as she stammered a response. "Uhmm… Thank you, Noah. That's very kind of you to say.""It's just the truth," Uncle Noah replied, taking the seat next to her. "I was wondering if you might like to join me for a walk around the ranch later? There are some really beautiful spots I would love for you to see. You see, among Zane, Mandy and I, I am the one who knows this ranch the most. I was the most playful one amongst the three o

  • My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy   Chapter Eighty-four: A Box Of Secrets

    Jayden McAllister's POV I couldn't handle the curiosity any longer so to my own surprise, I just found myself saying, “Oh, for heaven's sake, Dad, why don't we all go? If it's not safe, we will just turn back. But I, for one, am curious about this secret hideout of yours." Eleanor nodded enthusiastically before adopting a cute puppy expression and saying, "Me too! Come on, Dad, it will be fun. Pretty please?" Nobody can resist my dear sister's cute and adorable way of pleading and so Dad reluctantly gave in and sighed. "Fine. But we will be careful, understood?" The other four– Mom, Uncle Noah, Mandy and Eleanor enthusiastically nodded while I just shrugged in response. And as Uncle Noah led us to a path which was off the main one we were walking on and into a denser part of the woods, I couldn't help but feel both excited and apprehensive. What would we find in this so-called secret base? And more importantly, what secrets would it reveal about my father's past? It's indeed a

  • My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy   Chapter Eighty-five: Contents Of The Box

    Zane's POV I was sitting in my father's study with my MacBook opened on the desk in front of me but my mind wasn't on it. As soon as we finished having lunch, I told everyone I would be working and isolated myself in this study room, but ever since I came in, I couldn't concentrate on doing any work at all. My mind was completely preoccupied, buzzing with memories which had been stirred up by that impromptu trip to the secret base Noah and I had built when we were just twelve years of age.Seeing many things there reminded me of the past but the most prominent one is that box. That damn box. The one Jayden had found thanks to his curiosity and smartness which he got from me. The same box I had snatched away from him as soon as my eyes landed on him carrying it. The same box everyone had been so openly curious about. The same damn box that made me disappoint the little angelic girl, Eleanor. Really, it pained me a lot to not do as the little angel asked of me but the truth is, I just

  • My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy   Chapter Eighty-six: Complete Family

    Zane’s POV I didn't immediately answer Noah as I collapsed onto his couch and ran my hands through my hair while he stood there, utterly gobsmacked to see me looking so rattled. I really don't blame him because I don't think there's anything that has ever rattled me like this before. Sighing, I finally responded to him. "I might as well have, Noah." I muttered, before launching into the story. I told him everything I could remember about the previous night, about the mysterious woman who had turned my world upside down.As I described her – long blonde hair, captivating doe-like light blue eyes, average height, beautiful curves in the right places, the scent of jasmine – I saw recognition dawn on Noah's face. "Zane," he said slowly, "that sounds like Mandy."What the hell? A frown instantly materialised on my face before I shook my head vehemently. "Mandy? Hell no! No way. There's no way on earth it could have been Mandy, Noah. Have you gone nuts? How could you even think that? There

  • My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy   Chapter Eighty-seven: Birthday Celebration

    Jayden McAllister's POV I casually leaned back against the makeshift tent Eleanor had requested Dad to set up for the lakeside celebration. The sounds of laughter and splashes of water filled the air, mingling with the scent of grilled chicken wafting from the barbecue stand. Today was my birthday, but in the midst of the festivities going on, I was more like a spectator than the guest of honor as I was just standing there in that corner, silently observing the goings on around me as I usually do.Just then, I heard the chirpy and highly cheerful voice of my twin sister call out to me. “Jay-jay! Come on, join us!” I turned my head to see her bouncing around, playing around the bank of the lake, with her strawberry blonde curls dancing with every move. As usual, she was the center of attention, a little whirlwind of joy and a ray of sunshine. I couldn’t help but smile at her boundless energy. Indeed, she's my twin sister but we are as different as the day is from the night. “Just a

    Jayden McAllister's POV “Wait a bit, Randolph!" I called out to him, my voice deliberately carrying just the right note of childish excitement. "Before we cut the cake, I have a special announcement to make!"All eyes turned to me, with curiosity written all over their faces. I took my sweet time before walking up to the middle of our little group and saying, “Today is indeed a very special day because not just me, but a very special someone also graced this world on such a day, five years ago. So ladies and gentlemen, join me in celebrating the one and only Eleanor McAllister.”And as Eleanor took the cue and stood up and dramatically curtsied at me, I added, “Happy birthday little sis.”The effect was immediate. Dad's usually stoic face instantly paled and his normally impassive eyes widened slightly in shock as he said. "What? Today is your birthday too, Eleanor? And you turned five too? But... I had no idea. I'm so sorry, little angel."Grandpa, who's never one to miss an opportu

  • My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy   Chapter Eighty-nine: First Kiss

    Trina's POV The day had started innocently enough. We had all gathered at the lake near the ranch to celebrate Jayden's birthday at his request. It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining on the water and a gentle breeze rustling through the trees. And despite the underlying tensions – Donald and Nicola's coldness, Mandy's obvious jealousy, Noah's odd glances in my direction– there was a sense of joy in the air. My little munchkin was having the time of her life, building sandcastles, singing and dancing and doing all sorts of fun stuff. Even Zane and Jayden, who are usually so reserved, were smiling and laughing.However, when Zane learnt that it's also Eleanor's birthday today and asked her to choose her birthday present, I should have known something was up when I saw that very familiar mischievous glint in my daughter's eyes. I know my little munchkin and how mischievous and handful she can be when she wants to. But nothing, absolutely nothing could have prepared me for what ha

    Trina's POV I just couldn't believe my eyes. Even though the evidence was right there in front of me, my mind struggled to process the scene unfolding before me. Justin, here in Dripping Springs, Texas, at Zane's family ranch, staring at the four of us— Zane, myself, Jayden, and Eleanor, locked in a group hug. The hurt look on his face was unmistakable, and it sent a pang of guilt through my chest.As our group hug reluctantly broke apart, I opened my mouth to speak, to say something, anything to diffuse the tension. But before I could utter a word, Zane's deep, baritone voice cut through the air, cold and sharp as ice, answering Justin's question."As you can see, you are indeed interrupting something, Myers."And just like as it always happened whenever these two men met, the icy stare down began. The atmosphere instantly changed, as the warmth of our family moment suddenly disappeared as if it was never there before. The tension between the two formidable men staring intensely at

    Trina’s POV Zane told me he had taken the kids for an outing and so I expected the house to be empty by the time we arrived but the moment Mason and I walked through the front door, I froze in place. There, sitting on my couch with the same warm, gentle smile I remembered from years ago, was Aunt Pamela, Mom's best friend and the woman who had taken care of Mason when I left for Paris. My heart skipped a beat and for a second, I thought I was hallucinating, that maybe the emotional rollercoaster of the past few days was finally breaking me. But when Mason whispered in a shaky voice, “Aunt Pamela?!”, I knew she was real.“Hello, my darlings” Aunt Pamela's voice was still soft, warm, and calm just as I remembered it.I hadn't seen her in over six long years.Tears welled up in my eyes as memories of her kindness flooded back. I instantly threw myself into her arms and hugged her tight.As she hugged me back, she whispered against my hair, “You have no idea how long I've waited for t

    Trina's POV Just as I promised Mason I would do when he arrives, I briefed him about the shocking revelation from Dad's lawyer, and just like me, he was absolutely shaken by the news. We may not have grown up loving him but he's the only father we have after all, so we definitely don't want anything to happen to him. As I drove to the small house he had bought and moved in after he moved out of the Ryder mansion which actually belonged to our late Mom, we quickly formulated our plan. And by the time we arrived at the house, Mason's face was still pale from the news, but his jaw was set with determination. We both knew what we were here for. This wasn’t just a visit, it’s rather a mission. A mission to save a man who had been planning to take his own life without anyone noticing.As I parked, I looked at the small, grey house which looked as lifeless as its owner. As I turned off the ignition and started unlatching my seatbelt, Mason let out a long, slow breath beside me before ask

    Trina's POV To say that the twins were beyond themselves with joy is the greatest understatement of the year. The moment Zane and I returned from our little romantic weekend rendezvous and told them about our upcoming wedding, their eyes lit up like the brightest stars in the night sky. Our usually indifferent whizz kid surprised me by instantly throwing his fists into the air, exclaiming “Yay!!” in utter delight before throwing his arms around my waist and hugging me tightly while his twin sister let out one of her signature squeals of delight, even though this one seems to be louder than ever. She then started twirling around the living room for what seemed like the hundredth time, announcing to anyone who would listen that “Mommy and Daddy are getting married!” while also listing all the things she wanted to do as the “official flower girl”. Even Jayden was not left behind in that aspect as he immediately settled in front of his laptop, browsing on his role as the ring bearer. Al

    Trina's POV As I finally broke our nth kiss this glorious morning, I chuckled radiantly at Zane before whispering, “I can taste myself in your lips.” Zane smirked as he slowly flicked out his tongue and wiped out the remaining drops of my womanly juices that clung to the side of his lips before responding. “Good. You better get used to it because as from now henceforth, that would be the taste of these lips which you would be kissing forever and ever.”I let out a delighted chuckle even as I felt my clit automatically clench at his words. The thought of having those erotic, masterful lips and tongue going down on me and eating me out every single day forever and ever…. Oo la la!As he laid back down beside me and pulled me even tighter against his completely naked body, I sighed in satisfaction and uncontrollable delight. I was still utterly and completely breathless and my heart was still pounding erratically and not just from the intensity of what we had just shared, but from the

    Zane's POV Throughout that night, I couldn't sleep. Not even a wink. Even though my gorgeous goddess Trina who is completely sated and spent after our very rapturous and passionate night, now slept peacefully while snuggled in my arms, I just couldn't bring myself to do the same ever since that word came to my mind…. ‘forever’.That one word kept echoing in my head, setting my mind on overdrive, buzzing with different thoughts. I had never considered marriage before in my life. Never thought I would ever need something as binding, as absolute, as forever like marriage is, with anyone at all. Howecer, here I was, unable to imagine a future without my gorgeous goddess by my side. Without Katrina. Without our twins, Jayden and Eleanor. The mere thought of it made me feel an instant overwhelming rush of warmth all through my body… ‘Together forever’ The surprising fact is that the words didn’t scare me like they might have in the past. Infact, in the past if someone had told me that I

    Zane's POV However, I waited and waited, but nothing came. I opened my eyes only to find her already standing on her feet with a mischievous smirk on her face. Damn!The mischievous smirk on her face turned into a sultry smile as she reached out to me with her hand, saying in a low, husky tone. “Dance with me?”I should have been disappointed. But how could I be, when she was looking at me like that?I immediately took her hand and eagerly pulled her into my arms, wrapping my arms around her waist while hers looped around my neck. And the moment our bodies joined together for the dance, it felt like coming home. Her softness molded perfectly against my hardness, fitting as if we were made exactly for this. As if we were made for each other.A slow, sultry song played in the background— John Legend's "All of Me," and the lyrics seemed to speak directly to my soul;‘Cause all of meLoves all of youLove your curves and all your edgesAll your perfect imperfections…’As we swayed toge

    Zane’s POV For the most part of the funeral service of the late Sarah Caldwell Ryder, I could feel Trina’s eyes on me, watching me, burning into me like fire balls. The service had been a very quiet, dignified and very emotional one especially after the touching eulogies Trina, her brother and her great aunt made. But for me, it wasn't the touching eulogies that made me restless and set me on edge. No. It was those eyes… those mesmerizing doe-like eyes of hers which kept staring at me and boring into me all through the service. They were like laser beams, penetrating into me with a burning effect, setting my entire body on fire and making me hot and flustered… in the middle of a church for that matter.And when I finally dared to meet her eyes at the end of the service after I felt her eyes on me yet again, my breath hitched in my throat because those hypnotic eyes… they weren’t just looking at me. They were seeing me. Seeing me in a way she had never before, as if she was peeling a

    Trina’s POV After her proclamation, Aunt Livvy wasted no time at all. The moment both Mason and I nodded our heads in agreement that Mom really deserved the grand funeral she had been cruelly denied, Aunt Livvy immediately sprang into action. She handled everything with a precision that portrayed her years of experience of managing the Caldwell empire and also, her deep love for her niece Sarah Caldwell Ryder. Within hours, she had called the archbishop, contacted every relative and every family friend across the country, arranged for caterers, and ensured that media outlets announced the passing of the Caldwell heiress to the world. The obituary was finalized, and invitations were sent far and wide. What surprised me is that as soon as she made those calls, even those people who had never once shown interest in my mother’s well-being while she was alive now clamored to attend her funeral after hearing that she was the Caldwell heiress!By the time Aunt Livvy finally finished all he

    Trina’s POV From the address Aunt Livvy sent to me, I know she lives about an hour and a half drive away from my house. But when I inputted the address on the Google maps and let it direct us, it felt as if the drive to her estate was much longer than the hour and a half that I had estimated. Or perhaps it is because of the daunting task ahead of both Mason and I… of breaking the news of Mom's death to her loving aunt, that I felt so.As I drove, I kept biting my lower lip at intervals, which is a nervous habit I got from none other than Dad himself. Shaking my head as if to get rid of the numerous thoughts buzzing in it, I turned to the side, stealing a glance at Mason who was sitting at the passenger seat beside me. Just like me, he had been silent for a long while now, deep in thoughts. He was staring out of the window and I could see his clenched fists tightly around the large envelope containing the stack of letters we brought with us. I know exactly what he was thinking becaus
