Briana POV"I don't see anything wrong with your test. " The doctor said.Noah and I looked at each other in relief.I was worried earlier and was howling orders at my people to get the woman accountable for hitting Noah. I later learned that she was a diplomat's wife."Ms. Ford, the subject was not associated with Britney, but her husband cheated on her several times." The head of Rosewood Hotel security department informed me."What should we do about her?" He asked."Where is she?""At the security office."“Throw her out and ban her from all branches of Rosewood Hotel effective immediately,” I told him.“Her husband had already arrived and was asking for an apology. He is also willing to pay for damages.” The head of hotel security added.“I don’t need money or his apology. I need him to get his wife in line." I said with gritted teeth, and then as an afterthought, I added,"Ask him to submit his wife to medical tests. Normal people do not hurt other people on impulse.” Then, I
Briana POVWhile Noah was in the hospital, I made some arrangements.“Belle, can you do me a favor?”“Sure.” She said.Belle had been working for me in Martina’s absence. It would have been easier if Martina was around. She could help me lay out my plans. But my favorite brother -note the pun on the word favorite - took her without my consent. They had not shown up since yesterday.If Belle had not been around, my work at the office would have piled up, especially as I have been at the hospital since yesterday. I never left Noah’s side and tended to him even if he asked me to go and be with the kids.“The triplets would miss you. At least one of us should stay with them. I am going to be fine here.” He tried to assure me, but I could not leave him alone.I had this irrational fear that if I left him for a minute, he would be gone.It was probably a delayed reaction to what happened and the information overload. It was too much to take in at one go.I feel confused and uncertain.I
Britney POV“I heard Noah was rushed to the hospital yesterday.” I hurriedly asked Hanna when she answered my call.I did not think she would answer because, in the past weeks, she refused to take my calls and would just ignore them.I was about to end the call in dismay when the call came through. Must be a stroke of luck.Hanna picked up my call, but my excitement plummeted upon hearing her lackluster response.“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Hanna sounded tired, but I couldn’t end the call without confirmation.“It was all over the news. Someone attacked Noah at the Rosewood Hotel. Where was he admitted?” I asked.
Noah POV“Daddy!”“Daddy!”“Daddy!”Briana and I were cuddling in my bed when the door to my room was flung wide open before our three boys appeared. They smiled when they spotted us and raced toward us, crying happily.They hurriedly climbed the bed and squished their soft little bodies between us.Briana laughed when she got pushed to the extreme side, and the children occupied the center of the bed.I, too, wiggled my body near the edge to give them room while hugging the three of them in my arms. Their little bodies endured my embrace for a while before they started wiggling, wanting to be free.I released them.“You are not sick,” Riley commented when he did not see medical devices attached to my body.“I told you I am not.” I agreed.“So, why are they keeping you here?” He asked.I lifted a hand to tousle his downy hair and smiled indulgently at my firstborn son.I never realized that I could miss this little person so much. My heart almost ached.“I asked them to keep me here s
Briana POVLunchtime came, and the kids started fussing."I am hungry, Mommy," Mason whispered in my ears."What are you murmuring about?" Noah asked.His voice was laced with interest."We are hungry, Daddy," Riley spoke for his brother.There was a knock on the door.Brixx jumped from the bed to run excitedly toward the door.He opened it a crack."Lunch is ready!" Chris announced.Brixx opened the door wider to let Chris pass."Yay! Food!"
Noah POVWhile Briana was busy preparing our things, I put the kids to sleep on my bed.I sat on the edge of the bed and watched them.Riley sleeps like he owns the bed. He was lying on his back while his brother, Brixx, lay on his side with his hands tucked under his cheek. Mason, on the other hand, lay on the opposite side of his brother.“You had been staring at the triplets too long,” Brina commented. “Do you miss me, wife?” I asked teasingly and felt satisfaction when she looked like a cornered cat looking for an escape.I left the bed and walked to the chair next to her. Then, I pulled Briana toward me. She landed on my lap.“Noah.”“What?”She was blushing.“The children might wake up?”I arched my brow. “So?”I wrapped my arms around her waist and burrowed my face on the back of her head. I took a whiff and smelled her shampoo.“You smell divine, wife.” I let the word wife roll on my tongue, reveling at the sound.It was like I was on a discovery, and the shock of knowing we
Noah POVThe children started to stir, and that’s when I let Briana go.She went to get her phone to call the nannies to pack the kids’s things as well as her own and instructed them to transfer their belongings to my house, which was just across the street from her home.I called Ed to ask his men to help with my family’s transfer.When the children woke up, Briana let them adjust for a while.“They’ll have tantrums if we bundle them up immediately.” So, we let them toast on the bed for a little longer until they were fully awake.“Where are you going?” I asked when Riley clambered down the bed while I supported him.
Briana POVWhen we got home, my brothers already knew about our planned transfer to Noah’s home.“Do you think it’s wise?” Rowan pulled me aside so we could talk away from Noah and the kids.I nodded at my brother. “We need to start acting like a family,” I told him.“What if he changed his mind again? What if he decided later that he does not want you and the kids?”I shook my head as if to ward off what my brother said. The mere suggestion caused a stir in my heart, making it unsettled.“That was before. Noah only divorced me because he had amnesia.” I blurted out. I gathered there was no way my protective brother would approve of the move if he did not know what drove Noah to do what he did five years ago.I watched Rowan’s face for his reaction. A frown formed on my face when I realized Rowan did not look the least bit surprised by what I revealed.“You know about it?”Rowan nodded slowly. “I got information, but it was not confirmed.”“And you did not bother to tell me?”Rowan
