Noah POV
It was getting dark when we started loading the triplets in the car.
They kept insisting on a last ride. Briana, and I indulged them.
Because the children napped at the park, they were energetic and very much awake on the ride home. The van was full of their laughter.
“Let’s do this again,” Brixx announced when Briana asked them if they enjoyed themselves.
I smiled because I liked spending more time with them.
We passed by the Rosewood Hotel, and the children were pointing their fingers at it.
“Mommy, your hotel!” They cried simultaneously.
“Do you want to stop for dinner at the hotel?” Briana asked the children.
They all answered yes.
I pulled to the hotel entrance.&
Noah POVI shot Briana a confused look and was stunned by her stricken face.“Is it true?”Despite having our children as an unwitting audience, I could not wait to ask.My heart was thumping wildly in my chest in excitement while I waited for her confirmation. I had not been banking on this development. But it sure was a relief to know that Briana had never remarried, nor was she in a relationship.I figured if I wanted to take back my family, this was my chance. A chance I promise to put to good use. I’ll win her back.To my dismay, Briana only averted her face.She acted like she did not hear me, but I knew better.She avoided answering my question.I did not press, though. I figured we still had time to discuss her social status without the children.
Noah POVMarcus Ford barked an awkward laugh.He coughed self-consciously as if to clear his throat when he realized he was the only one laughing. I refused to join him in his merriment.Then, he met my unflinching gaze.“What kind of question is that?”My eyes narrowed into slits. A sign that I am way past my tolerance level.“Don’t try to evade answering my question with another question. I am not playing games here.” I warned.I was at my wit’s end. I was incr
Noah POV“Let’s meet up at Blue Canyon. ” I informed Brent and ended the call.I was walking briskly toward my car when a man intercepted me.He was the head of my security team.“Ed.” I nodded in greeting.“Sir. We are staking the house and your family.” He reported.“Good. Keep me posted and mark my words. If something happens to them, you will all pay up big time.” I warned before getting into my car and driving away.This is the first time I used my name and my wealth to threaten anyone. I was not used to doing that, but the protective instinct in me was the one talking. I do not know what I would have done if something happened to my family, especially as I am not around to protect them.When I got to Blue Canyon, Brent was already waiting for me.
Noah POV“Keep this under wraps. I do not want news of this getting out until we catch all his cohorts. And from now on, tighten the security at Hunter Enterprises. Don’t leave anything to chance. We are at war.” I told them and they nodded.“I will make everyone pay,” I told them, but how can I make everyone pay if I am also an unwitting accomplice to Uncle Matt’s purported crime?
Briana POVA sense of guilt had overtaken me after knowing Noah had not slept a wink and sat outside our house all night.“Go home,” I told him after breakfast without looking at him.My brothers refrained from saying anything.They refrained from showing approval or disapproval in Noah's presence. I was sure it was in deference to the triplets.
Briana POVNot long after I got back from the bathroom, and settled back behind my table, I heard three knocks on the door. I got up from my seat and opened the door to Britney White.I was surprised when I saw her. She looked like she came in for war.She was clad in a red halter top that accentuated the size of her b*east; the smallness of her waist, and the contours of her hips. The hem falls just below her knees.She wore black stilettos.And her fac
Briana POVFury, I had never known emblazoned my being.How could I let myself be fooled once more?Noah will never love me the way he loved Britney. He may love the children, but not me.
Noah PovI took a few hours of sleep.When I woke up, the first thing I did was check my phone and saw several miscalls on my call log.I went to check the numbers and dialed the most recent."Daddy, when awe you coming back?" The mispronounced r was a giveaway.I smiled while stretching on the bed."Hello, Brixx. I'll take a bath before coming over." I told him.
