Noah POV

“Daddy!”

“Daddy!”

“Daddy!”

I smiled when I heard the triplets call out my name. They had an early dismissal, and I was glad I decided to fetch them earlier than usual today.

They rushed up to me, and I bent down, arms spread wide to receive their hugs.

“I miss you, my triplets,” I told them and saw the three of them grin.

“Really?” Their eyes sparkled in mischief, but I want to answer them truthfully.

“Yes.”

As usual, Mason’s eyes roamed around. “Where is Mommy?”

“At home,” I told them.

It had been two weeks since I forbade Briana to leave the house, but the children would still ask for her every time.

Maybe I was overreacting.

Briana is right. We cannot postpone our lives due to fear.

I looked around and knew that my man was stalking the place. I employed a handful of bodyguards to watch over the children. However, they are invisible to our eyes, except for their three regular bodyguards.

It was because I did not want to frighten the triplets. They are still

    Briana’s POVMy heart almost stopped beating when I saw what happened. After I left the house to greet the triplets, I watched in horror as I saw them run excitedly to the other side of the road, where they saw Marcus. It was so swift and sudden that all of us watched in horror as a car zoomed past, almost hitting Mason. My body froze when I saw it, but it was just a split second of confusion because adrenaline pushed me, pumping blood in my veins. I ran after my children with fear gripping my heart. I did not care that I was pregnant and could not even carry my weight. All I ever cared for was to save my son from danger.I sighed in relief when I saw Marcus grab Riley by the waist to get my son out of the way. At the same time, I saw Noah grab Mason and Brixx and carry the two of them to safety. My heart raced wildly in my chest as I watched in relief how Marcus and Noah got the children in time, and they were now out of danger. Then, my angry eyes darted to the car that alm

    The sounds of sirens echoed all around us, and within minutes, police cars had taken over the road. They barricaded it for other vehicles.At the center, Britney, Noah, and I looked on. I searched for my children and saw them with Marcus. My brother ushered the triplets inside his house, which calmed my somewhat frayed nerves. I can rest assured the children will be safe in Marcus' hands. There had been an investigation. Police cuffed Britney's hands and assisted her to the back of their patrol car.Ed, our head bodyguard, showed up holding the driver of the first car that almost hit Mason. My eyes squinted because he looked familiar. "Sir. I think he is Ms. White’s accomplice. He's the VP for finance you fired earlier for colluding with your Uncle." I shook my head to shake off the daze that assailed me momentarily and stared at the man. "I don't know what you are talking about. I am not Ms. White's accomplice." He cried, denying the allegation. The man looked at me and p

    Noah POVBriana was still sleeping when our family came to visit.Marcus called earlier, informing me about the boys’ excitement to see their little brother. “Where’s our baby brother?” Riley demanded, but he was talking in a hushed voice. I glanced at Marcus, grateful because I was sure he informed the kids beforehand that they needed to behave, which explains Riley’s action. I opened the door wider and smiled wider. “He’s asleep with your mom.” The boys’ faces fell. The excitement in their eyes changed to disappointment. “We can’t play with him, then?” Brixx asked in dismay. I crouched low, so I was at a level with my kids. “Not yet. When he gets a little older, you can.” I promised them. “But we can see him, right?” Mason butted in. I nodded. “Of course. I am sure your mom would love to see the three of you.” Then, I stood up and picked Mason’s and Brixx’s hands since they were closer to me to guide them inside. Marcus let Riley follow us. I was glad because the chi

  • SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE   Chapter 206. Home

    Noah POVI was surprised when Rowan kicked Marcus playfully so he could enter, bearing colorful balloons. At the sight of the balloons, the triplets became excited and had forgotten that they had to act carefully around the baby. Riley stood on the bed, startling their baby brother, and I had to grab him by the waist to put him down. I also did the same to Brixx and Mason when they unexpectedly jumped to eagerly reach their hands out to pluck a balloon from Rowan’s grasp. Rowan steered clear of them to place the balloon on the side of my bed. “I want one,” Riley grumbled. Rowan shook his head to tease the triplets. “You can’t have that. It is for mommy.” “She does not need the balloon. She needs to rest.” Brixx replied, and all of us laughed. “It’s also for the baby,” Rowan added, refusing to give the triplets the balloon. They harumped and ignored him when they noticed the cake that Flint was carrying. “A cake!” They cried.“I hope it’s a carrot cake,” Briana commented

    Hello, my loves, You have reached the last part of Noah and Briana’s story. Though I hate to see them go and the triplets, too, I also wanted to give way to the other characters in this story to shine.Hence, the succeeding chapters will be for them. This book actually has four parts. The main part as you all know is Noah and Briana’s story. The second part will be Rowan and Hanna’s story. The third part will be Marcus’s story. The fourth part, I have not plotted it yet, but it is a toss between Brent (yeah, the millionaire private investigator friend of Noah) and Flint (Briana’s other brother.) You can comment on this page which one you prefer and the majority wins.If you noticed in Briana and Noah’s book, I already gave a foreground on Brent’s life. But it’s not fixed yet.Flint, on the other hand, is an interesting character because he is playful and oftentimes troublesome. Riley actually took after him. As with the first story, the other three stories will revolve around

    Book 2. Rowan and Hanna’s Story Hanna’s POV“Bye, Hanna!” I waved my hands to my co-workers at Hunter Hotel after getting out of the cab we hired for the night. I was a bit tipsy, and I had to squint from the lamp post’s glare to be able to see them off. We were four girls.“Bye, guys! See you tomorrow.” I shouted before turning around to get inside my apartment complex. My co-workers and I had a little celebration because one of them was getting married. We opted to ride a cab since we were drunk just to be on the safe side.“Having a good time?” A man’s voice said at my back, and my body instantly froze. I didn’t think I would ever see him again, given that I already requested the main office to transfer me to this place. Noah was a bit surprised, but he did not pry. I was not sure if he suspected it had anything to do with this man. The man walked to my front, presenting me with his side profile. “What are you doing here?” I asked nervously. He snickered. “Why are you sud

    Hanna POVRowan parked the car in front of a f*ckig mansion. I glared at it, for I did not know how to react. It’s a toss-between amazement and anger. The house was impressive. It looked breathtaking outside, but however beautiful the place was, it was still a prison for me. I already had a hunch as to why Rowan took me. “Whose house is this?” I asked mutinously.“Mine.” Rowan unstrapped his seatbelt, but I did not mimic his actions. Instead, I just sat there looking outside. “Get out!” Rowan ordered.I pretended not to hear him and did not budge. I heard the sound of the door opening before it was slammed shut in anger. From my peripheral vision, I saw Rowan round the car before stopping in front of my door. He opened it before leaning down. I moved back scaredly. I thought Rowan was going to kiss me again to make me pliant and submissive to his bidding.To my utter shame, and Rowan’s amusement - because I heard him snicker, he only unlocked my seatbelt to pull me out.

    Speechless! This word best describes what I was feeling right now. Do you know that you were amazing readers? Yes, you who stayed with me until this page. When I first started writing this story, I had so many trepidations. I did not think I would be able to pull this through. First, it has a little similarity to my previous novel, Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back, but my editor believed so much in my draft that she encouraged me to consider doing this. (My heartfelt thanks to Lyra Pinter, who had been a constant source of support.)My feeling of uncertainty magnified when I received so many attacks when the story was first published. Too many detractors lashed out at my characters that I had a hard time concentrating.I know what I wanted to do, but the first people who were vocal about the story did not give me enough encouragement. They did not give my characters a chance to redeem themselves as the story progresses. Fear grips me everytime I face the blank screen of my computer

  • SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE   Chapter 472. Epilogue

    Briana’s POVThe soul always knows how to heal itself. I had often heard that phrase before but it was never more gratingly obvious til now. After I volunteered to be Charles and Jenna’s surrogate, I had not counted on the pain the act would invariably inflict on me. At the start, it was all too easy. For 40 weeks, I would be carrying their baby in my womb, and that was it. Jenna and Charles will have that baby they desperately wanted. Of course, Noah and I submitted to counseling before I did this, but I never expected that when the time came that I had to turn over baby Amira to her parents, it would hit me so hard. I had not counted on how my self-sacrifice would backfire on me. It hurts so much. I was so heartbroken when I realized that Amira would no longer be a part of my life. Noah took me to several sessions of counseling, and with his support, I was able to get past the hurt and accept that Amira was not mine.The rest of the family helped. My brothers hovered over me

  • SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE   Author's Note

    Hello my loves, Jenna and Charles’ story was one of the most painful stories I had written so far. It was because I had to dig up long-forgotten events in my life.But I had to do it for you to be able to understand the motives behind Jenna and Charles’ actions and the pain they invariably inflicted on each other. Jenna and Charles were both non confrontational. They keep things in stride and hope for the best, but sometimes even with the best intentions, our pain could not lay hidden for too long. It needed to be addressed and voiced out, not because you wanted to lash out at your partner or give them the same pain they were giving you.Sometimes, our silence is our cry for help. Or it was a way to protect ourselves. We retreated into the inner recesses of our soul to find solace and comfort because the people we expected to comfort and provide solace for us could not hear our cry for help.But all’s well that ends well. Am glad for those people who had requested me to do a story
