ALONSO POV

My hands are shaking uncontrollably, and I squeeze them between my legs to make it stop. Adrenaline pumps through my system, both from the game and from seeing Fly-girl being hit by that SUV and flying through the air.

She's alive, though, so I'm clinging onto that, even though things aren't looking good for her.

The doors to the emergency room open, and Arc runs through them with a panicked look in his eyes with my parents close on his heels.

I stand up, and his arms come around me in a stifling hug.

"What happened?" My father asks in that authoritative tone of his that makes things happen.

I shake my head when Arc releases me. "Fuck. She was just standing on the sidewalk ready to cross, but this white SUV came straight for her."

My father frowns. "Police?"

"The asshole drove off."

My father nods. "I'll look into it."

I don't miss the look my parents share.

It is quite odd. Why would a car just come straight for Juliet? That was definitely no fucking a

    JULIET POV There's an incessant pounding in my head, and my eyes feel as if it was glued together. My throat is sore and parched, and panic washes over me. What the hell happened? Was I back in the clutches of my father? I can't breathe. I CAN'T BREATHE! My eyes fly open, and my hands scratch at my throat, willing air to come past my constricted windpipe, but it's like I'm a fish out of water. "Juliet!" My head flies to the man standing next to me, and I'm for sure going to die now. This is the end for me. After everything, this is how I'm going out. "Nurse!" He shouts frantically, pressing a button repeatedly next to my bed. Darkness blurs my vision as I lose oxygen, but then there's a lady putting a mask on my face, her hand soothingly stroking my hair. "Breathe angel." Her voice is soft and gentle, her smile warm and welcoming, making me take in a huge gulp of air that I almost choke on it. "That's it, girl. You're okay. You're going to be just fine. Just breathe." S

    ALESSI POV I've been walking around with a heavy chest ever since finding out that Juliet was run over. I don't know what the hell it is, but I haven't been able to shake the feeling. "This is your career we're talking about, boy!" My father frowns down at Alonso, who is sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. "If you miss a game, it will show the NFL that you're not able to work under pressure." I run my hand through my hair. Fuck, I understand both my dad and my brother. Juliet only came out of her coma a day before, he doesn't want to leave her side. But he also worked most of his life for the opportunities he's getting now. Some people would say we don't need to work as hard as we do. We already have enough money for generations, but that's not what my family is about. We were raised that we work for what we want and for what is important to us. Right now, the number one thing that is important to my brothers and I is Juliet's well-being. And that means Alonso

    JULIET POV "You're one lucky girl." The middle-aged nurse winks at me. "And I'm not just talking about the handsome guys either." I try to muster a smile, but I fail dismally. I don't feel all too lucky. I've denied seeing my father, who was probably contacted by the insurance company, now he's constantly outside the door like the creep he is. Not one of the guys has come to see me for two days, yet the security guards outside my door are still there twenty-four-seven, only leaving when there's a change of shift. I don't know how to feel about that. It's obviously the Moretti money paying for it all, but does that mean the threat to my life is real? Who the hell would do something like that? It has me feeling scared. When I first got here, I had no regard for my own life, I simply didn't care about the consequences of my actions, but now I do. I don't want to hurt anyone. Least of all the triplets. I can feel something is wrong. The nurses told me that they were forced

    JULIET POV There are a lot of monumental moments in one's life. The day you are born, when you fall in love, when you do what you love. And when you find out that your father isn't really your father. Everything makes so much more sense now. The way he never really bothered to connect with me, the way he treated my mother. And ultimately, the way he treated me, the no remorse in choking me and leaving bruises for the world to see. In the back of my mind, I tell myself that at least he never tried to rape me. If that's any consolation at all. The question now is, who the hell is my real father? I feel a strange sense of relief at his admission. I always wondered how you could do that to your own child. But I wasn't his. I wish I could dissect my mother's brain and find out exactly what she was thinking when she made all these decisions that not only influenced her life but mine as well. I'm starting to resent her a little bit, to be honest. How could she do this

    JULIET POV The amount of tears I have shed in the last twenty-four hours is shameful. I don't even know who I am anymore. I'm a stranger in my own body, and all I want to do is escape. I'm certainly not the blabbering mess I've been ever since Farrah Moretti paid me a visit. I want to hate her. But I can't. She's only protecting her family, and right now, they need protection from me. I have the power to break their hearts the way mine is breaking right now. If only things were different. If only I was just a normal girl without any grudges and parents who weren't royally screwed up, we could have had a life together. I know it sounds crazy to think that I could have had a relationship with all three Morettis at once, but somehow, the idea doesn't feel bizarre to me. "Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Mai's eyes are downcast as I zip up my suitcase. "Maybe one day I can explain to you why I'm doing what I'm doing." I lift her chin, and the solemn look in

    JULIET POV When I was on the West Coast for summer cheerleading camp, I'd walk on the beach and wonder what it would feel like if I just flung myself into the vast ocean. I've never swam in the ocean before, I've only been to the ocean once with the Millers on vacation, and I only ever put my feet in. So, one day, I mustered up the courage and walked into the water that had the power to extinguish my existence. I felt scared but free. I just stood there in the water waist-deep, and when a huge wave came, I did nothing. The wave washed over me and spun me around like I was nothing, the sound of being under water rumbling in my ears. That's what I feel like now. I don't hear anything. I'm underwater being tossed around like I'm nothing. "She's in shock." I hear someone say as if they're far in the distance, but they're standing right next to yet another hospital bed. Only this time, I'm not hurt apart from my previous injuries. "That is quite understandable."

    JULIET POV Who the fuck am I? The agents asking questions about the shooting has left the room, leaving me with Henry and the other two from missing persons. And according to them, I'm a missing person. "I don't understand." I shake my head in confusion. I only found out recently that my father isn't actually my father, which means I'm not a real Monroe. I was even thinking of changing my surname to Whittle now that the triplets know of my true identity. I had nothing left to hide, but now I'm missing? Have I gone into a universe where everything I've ever known was a lie? The agent's eyes are kind as she nods at me. "When you came into the hospital after the hit and run, your blood tests went through the system, and it matched the DNA of two people who never gave up hope that their daughter was out there somewhere." My mouth drops open in shock, and I'm glad for Henry's reassuring hand on my shoulder because it's keeping me grounded. "But my mother...." I t

    JULIET POV It feels like all of my organs are attuned to the two people standing in front of me. I never looked like Raquel Whittle. Now that this woman who is supposedly my real mother is standing in front of me, I can clearly make out the differences between me and Raquel. I'm almost the spitting image of the lady who had tears in her eyes and her hand in front of her mouth trying to reign in her emotions. Except for our eyes. Her eyes are a deep chocolate brown, but the man standing next to her has eerily the same color as mine. In Arcangelo's words, they're sky blue. The man I thought was my father was handsome, especially during the time he didn't drink so much. My real father, however, resembles a prince in his uniform. They are everything I never knew I wanted. All this time, I was wishing Raquel was alive when these people were out here all along. It's a cruel twist of faith that in all these years of me doing cheerleading, I never got hurt that I ne

    ALONSO POV "The NFL has decided to suspend you until after a thorough investigation has been done regarding the pictures." I faintly hear Uncle Kevin's voice over the white noise ringing in my ears, and I take another swig of my father's expensive cognac that I swiped from his alcohol display. I gather he has enough money to replace it. The bottle is abruptly grabbed from my hand. "I'm not going to stand by and watch you kill yourself." My mother takes her own swig from the bottle and then slams it down on the table. "For fuck's sake, Alonso, this is not the end of the world." I shrug nonchalantly. "Might as well be." There's a hole where my heart used to be. My career is literally being flushed down the drain. All the hours I spent in the gym, all the plays I studied, the millions of game tapes I've watched. I've always loved to party, but I always only had two light beers. I could've been fucking it up, but I was so focused on that one dream. Then Juliet came al

    AMELIA My stomach clenches in agony, and I screw my eyes shut, not wanting the light streaming from the open curtains to penetrate my soul. If it wasn't for Miss Daisy, those damn curtains would've never been open in the first place. I don't need light. The darkness was just perfect for me. I'm officially a prisoner in my own house. I'm even wondering if it is my house. Did I ever belong here in the first place? I might be an Astor by DNA, but I didn't grow up with them. As much as I love them, and as much as it was none of our fault what happened, the truth remains that when I was molded into a person, it wasn't under their hands. Yet I felt like I belonged when I met them, but I feel even more at home when Alonso holds me down and fucks me ruthlessly. Or when he transforms into a huge teddy bear afterward and snuggles me. Do I believe that Alonso did that to that girl? Yes. I also know that she was probably begging for it, too. I was jealous at first when I

  • Revenge on the Billionaire Triplets   Chapter 128 - Storms

    ALESSI POV I failed. I failed to protect my brother. Now, my family is trying to do damage control that may not succeed. Alonso is a fucking mess. Yesterday morning, images were shared on every social media network of some idiot influencer who had bruises and bite marks all over her body after spending the night with Alonso. The bigger problem is that the influencer is now nowhere to be found to tell the damn media that whatever happened between them was consensual, even though the images may look alarming. Apparently, she sent the photos to a friend to brag about her night with the infamous Alonso Moretti, and now it has blown up in his face. If you look at the photos alone, it does look like the girl was attacked. It's classic Alonso behavior, though, and the same reason I diligently checked out everyone he slept with in college. I clearly can't be everywhere at once anymore, and now we have a catastrophic problem. Brands are threatening to end their contracts w

    ALONSO POV I felt on top of the world right after the win. I showed the assholes who said I was just a rich kid who was overhyped. I had the girl I always wanted waiting for me, and they showed how she and my mom hugged on the jumbotron. For a second life was everything I ever wanted. Then, like an ice-cold bath, reality came knocking on my door when Uncle Kev reminded me that we still had the press conference afterward and that things might get sticky there. Now I'm sitting next to Uncle Kevin waiting for the vultures to spew me with their questions, my leg bouncing nervously. Uncle Kevin's hand reaches underneath the table to squeeze my shaking leg, and I still. The first question is aimed at him. It's entirely professional. How he feels about the future of the team. How he developed the team so that we played so well. My eyes rove over the sea of reporters. Which one of them will bring up the alleged sexual assault? It could be any of them. Was my father able to s

    AMEILIA POV I'm nervous when Alonso takes me up to his family's box. This will be the first time I will face them after everything went down, and they undoubtedly know what I tried to do. Even though the triplets don't hold it against me, I still don't understand how they don't, I don't know how their parents will treat me. They have every right to treat me as the piece of shit I am. Maybe everything I'm experiencing right now with my real parents is my punishment for trying to break a family apart. I'm so worlds away from that girl, I still can't believe I carried that vengeance in my heart. I was lying awake most of the night, my head tucked in the crook of Alonso's neck with his breathing softly rustling my hair, and all I could think of was how I did him wrong. I had sex with his brothers, the same brothers whom he shared a womb with, and who means the world to him. And even years later, when I saw them again, I still had this pull towards them. I don't know why it feel

    SUMMER POV My heart hammers in my chest as I look up into the gorgeous eyes of Alessi Moretti. Is that disappointment that flashes in its depths at my words? Alessi Moretti was everything I never knew I wanted. He was like a knight in shining armor when he first showed interest in me. I've received plenty of interest from men at the hospital ever since I started working there over two years ago, but I never took the bait. You see, I've always been looked at as the pretty girl. The one every boy in school wants to have sex with, but not commit to. Once, I let myself be that girl, and I got discarded and forgotten about. I vowed that no man would ever make me feel like I'm disposable again. Yet, I fell for Alessi's beautiful exterior and gallant gestures. I should have known he was just like all the other assholes who were just out to use me and discard me. I've never felt so dirty after he told me that he wanted his keys to his apartment back. Keys I never even asked

    ALESSI POV I'm feeling jittery, and nervous as fuck. Usually, I would tell my brothers as soon as something as big as an ex-situationship being pregnant happens, but now is not the time. I'll tell them after the game. My mother narrows her eyes at me like a hawk. "Is everything okay?" You can't hide shit from her. "Everything is good." I lie. Everything is shit. I can't believe I'm going through the same shit again! And unless Summer was really sneaky and fucking someone behind my back in the hospital, there is a big chance that child might be mine. I ran away like a fucking coward after I looked into her chart. Memories of my mother placing Bailey's child into my arms and the panic attack that I almost had when I looked into his face came running back to me, and I couldn't breathe. I had to get out of there. I've been avoiding her at work, and I think she's been avoiding me too, but I know that I'm going to have to address the issue as soon as possibl

    LOLA POV My eyes go to Arcangelo for probably the hundredth time as I go over the contract with not one but three lawyers present. This can't be happening. Not to me, at least. Good things like this don't happen to people from my part of the woods. People always ask me why I don't just sign with a label and get Cassy out of the dump we stay in, but I wasn't about to sell my damn soul for a record contract. This contract is different, though. It allows me to have control over the kind of music I want to make and the image I want to portray to the world. It's unheard of, is what it is. My father was a musician, one of the best. The music he wrote got stolen, and he never saw a dime of the money it made. So you can call me shaded. Because of this industry, my father became a drug addicted alcoholic who ruined everything in his path. Including me. I had to learn from a very young age that I had to take care of myself because the adults in my life wer

    ARCANGELO POV I look in the rearview mirror as I drive from the studio to the hotel I booked for Lola and her "kid," who didn't end up really being her own child, but her little sister. Cassy is a five-year-old hellion who has been entertaining me for the last two days ever since I put them on the company's private jet and brought them to New York. The last two days have been a whirlwind, and I don't know if I've ever laughed so much as I did in these two days. We've been in the studio ever since we arrived on Friday, and after she sang Mai's Song in that bar, I did the unimaginable and let her record it and made it into a duet. My music has always been personal. Every word of my lyrics, every note that I pen down comes from my soul, and sure, I've written songs for other artists before, but never one as deeply personal as Mai's Song. The way Lola sang that song like I had written it for her made me feel compelled to let her sing on it. I haven't asked her what happe
