Noah POVIf anything, my admission added to my wife’s nervousness.When the car stopped, I got busy waking up and unstrapping the triplets from their seats.Riley saw Briana march out of the car.She went ahead of us without looking back.“What happened to Mommy? Did she forget about us?” He asked.I shrugged because I didn’t know what was going on inside Briana’s head.I took Riley’s hand on my right and Mason’s on my left. Brixx held hands with Mason.At the hospital lobby, people stopped and stared at us.“Why are they looking at us?? Riley’s voice echoed in the hall.Briana walked back to us. She took Brixx’s hand and walked to the information section to inquire about her doctor’s clinic.The receptionist gave us the information and smiled.“Thank you.” Briana muttered, and again, she took Brixx"s hand in hers. When he saw what happened, Mason wiggled out of my hold and took his Mommy’s free hand, leaving Riley with me.At the doctor’s clinic, Briana and the triplets sat in the
Briana POVSo that was it?I could not hide the dispiritedness from my eyes, and Noah quickly pointed that out."What is wrong, wife? You do not want to marry me?"Noah's stricken look matched the dismay in his voice. For a moment, it made me feel guilty about my reaction.The disappointment on his face mirrored my own.I shook my head to dispel any negative thoughts.Noah already declared his love for me on national television.It was more than an average woman could ask for.But somehow, it felt lacking to me.I felt cheated because the world knew his proposal before I did. Would it make me too fussy to admit I wanted to be romanced, too?I want flowers, balloons, and the whole shebang of a proposal.Certainly not something he
Briana POVAt the Penthouse, Noah showed me to the master’s bedroom.“I want to take a shower,” I told him and went straight to the bathroom.
Briana POVAs I looked at the grinning faces of the people dear to me, I could not help but feel so much joy in my heart.“Thank you everyone!” Noah got the microphone, and he was talking to our guests.There were too many.I could see our family – the triplets, my brothers, and Jenna, my sister-in-law.I also saw familiar faces in the crowd, like my best friend Hanna, and Noah’s friend, Brent. Then, there was Langley, Chris, Belle, Ed, and so many more.While Noah talked, the large LCD monitor that serves as our backdrop plays a video of us – a compilation of our photos since we were younger, our first marriage, up to this moment. Whoever made the video collage did not fail to include my brothers and the triplets, too.While I took in everything around me, Noah regaled the gue
Briana POVI thought Noah’s explosive revelations would stop there. The people are getting into the groove of the party, and everyone is happy.Aperitifs were served while a pop band played.There was laughter all around.“Have you been planning this?” I leaned close to whisper in Noah’s ears.“I had been planning to marry you for a while now, but I don’t think you were ready. When I asked you to marry me, I wanted to give you a grand proposal, but Riley stole it from me.“Noah snickered, and I giggled.Then, he continued. “I had to make this night memorable for us.”“Thank you, hubby,” I replied with all the love in my eyes.“All credit goes to Chris and the
Noah POV“Dearly beloved, we have gathered together to witness Briana Ford and Noah James Hunter in holy matrimony. We rejoice in their delight of finding love with each other and support their decision to commit themselves to a lifelong relationship ….”I looked at my wife, who was openly crying at the start of the ceremony.I was teary-eyed, too.“Excuse me, father.” It was Mason. He stood from his seat.He looked so solemn that the
Noah POVThe sound of the alarm woke me up.“What time is it?” Briana asked with eyes still closed.“It’s still early, sweetheart.”The bed dipped under my weight when I hovered over her, and she immediately put out her arms to embrace me.I kissed her.She sniffed and squinted her eyes at me when I pulled back.“Where are you going?” She asked and sat on the bed.The duvet fell to her lap, exposing her creamy, sexy clavicle in a spaghetti-strapped satin nightgown.She looked tempting, so I looked away.“I have to go meet my lawyer. The court hearing for defamation charges against Britney is set for today. I need to come in prepared."Briana grimaced. We spent a three-day honeymoon on the island of Crete right after the wedding. On the fourth day, Briana requested that the children join us.We rented a chartered flight for the triplets, their nannies and bodyguards.The triplets enjoyed the two-day vacation. We even had to call their school to request a two-day leave.Last night, we
Noah POVAfter breakfast, I kissed Briana goodbye. “Kiss the triplets for me. I will be home early to fetch them from school.” I informed Briana and was off. While driving, Chris called. “Yes. Is the lawyer waiting already?” I asked when I answered his call. Chris never calls me if it’s not urgent. There was a pause. “Sorry, sir, but Ms. White is outside the building. She was demanding to see you.” The news did not sit well with me. “What is wrong with the security? Can’t they handle her?” I asked, pissed off. “Sir, reporters were covering the commotion.” I clenched my fist and almost threw the mobile phone in anger. Britney is really testing my patience. “She’s sick. Tell the security to call the police. She is disturbing the peace.” I grunted and ended the call.“Benny,” I called my driver. “Drive fast.” My driver nodded when our eyes met in the rearview mirror. Then, the car shifted gears and accelerated. When I arrived at the hotel, the police had not arrived yet
