Briana POV
“Why didn’t you fight back? Why did you sign the divorce without telling me about the babies?”
My eyes rolled to the back of my head in annoyance.
“How can you put the blame on me? You wanted the divorce. You threatened to sue me for murder if I didn't agree to your terms. Why has it become my fault now when I only wanted to protect my children from their ruthless father?” I lashed back, not understanding where we were headed with this conversation.
“You could have told me about them. You could have
Briana POVThe kiss was fiery. It was cackling.Noah was a good kisser, and he knew it.He took full advantage of the knowledge while he nibbled on my lips before softly biting it.When my lips parted to let out a groan, an opportunity presented itself, allowing him to delve his tongue inside.The pad of his tongue explored the hot cavern of my mouth, making me moan in pleasure.
Briana POV“Don’t tell me you have been celibate all this time. I wouldn’t believe you. That would be the most far-fetch thing you could have come up to save your sorry a*s.”I looked at him with suspicion.What he was telling me did not add up to the Noah I married. He is insatiable with s*x.“It was the truth. Women repulsed me.” He held his palms up to compound his claim.On the other hand, I looked at him with squinted eyes, unable to believe what he was telling me.“Don’t tell me you have turned gay. Women repulsed you because you are attracted to men now.”He chuckled. “Did I kiss like I wanted a man?”That shut me up.Of course, he still kisses like a pro.His comeback
Noah POV“You looked like you had gone bankrupt. What happened?” Brent greeted me when I passed by him after crossing the street.He was standing next to a tree, and he was smoking.“None of your business,” I replied dully.Brent threw the cigarette butt and stepped on it.
Noah POVAfter Brent left, his words echoed in my mind like a broken record. I can’t seem to shake this irrational fear that crept into my heart, creating a whirlwind of emotions I could not explain.But one thing is for sure. I will do anything in my power to get my wife and kids back.I love them and will do anything to get them back.
Noah POVI dropped the call and called my assistant immediately.“Chris, call an emergency meeting with the PR team. Britney has gone to the internet to target Briana. Act fast and call off all those negative reports. Pay everyone and take everything down. If you need to file a case, file a case. And don’t let Britney leave the country. File for a restraining order and hold off all her travels abroad.”“Yes, boss. I will do it.”When Chris hung up, I called Brent.
Noah POVMorning came in too early for me. I was yawning as I hurriedly went to the house across the street.In my arms, I was holding a bag of groceries I would be needing to cook.There are too many things to do at the office, but I wanted to cook breakfast for my kids. Besides, I remember Briana was expecting me. I want to let her know I meant it when I said I wanted to be part of their lives.The maid opened the door for me and let me walk to the kitchen. I got busy immediately.Seven in the morning, I heard the stampeding sounds of footsteps and knew my kids were awake. A grin broke on my lips when they ran to the kitchen and exclaimed in their happy voices.“Good morning, Daddy! You are here!” Mason was the one who commented.I got down on my haunches to hug them to my chest. They all smelled like talcum powder.I noticed they also wear matching pajamas. It has a large print that says Dragon Striker.They climbed the high stool and watched me prepare their breakfast.“You
Noah POV“What is this?” Britney was trying hard to control her anger.Her fists gripped the paper in her hands. Her jaw clenched in indignation.I already knew what it was about, and I came in prepared.“That is my retaliation for what you did last night,” I told her smugly, holding her wrist and throwing it off my face.She staggered backward
Briana POVAfter Noah left, I prepared to get on the bed, but someone knocked softly on my door.I opened it and saw Marcus.“You need anything?” I asked my brother.“We need to talk.”The confusion caused a crease to form on my forehead.
Charles POVThe next day, our other two babies were born one after the other.Jenna and I were also there to witness everything and become part of our children’s birth.Jenna’s eyes were puffy when she held our two other newborns in her arms. She had been crying nonstop since yesterday because it still had not sunk in that she was a mom of four babies.When we visited Briana, she and Jenna had a long talk.Briana was smiling, but I could see that she was at a loss when it was time to take the baby away from her.I realized that this ordeal put a lot of strain on
Charles POVThe phone in the delivery room rang, and a nurse went to answer it.“Dr. Martin, it’s delivery room 2.” She said from across the room, allowing us to hear.Dr. Martin went to answer it. Her face was serious when she placed the phone back in its cradle.Then, she turned her head back to her medical team.“Are you still up for another delivery?” She asked her team.Their high spirits rubbed off on Jenna and me. We were smiling when they shouted, of course.
Charles POVIt was a crazy day.We were having a meeting when I heard that Briana had been rushed to the hospital.“Brie is having our baby,” I told my brothers and friend after I dropped the call.It was Jenna. She, Noah, and Biana were already in the hospital because Briana's water broke.My face contorted as emotions I could not name assailed.A mix of fear, excitement, nervousness, worry, and happiness barraged me.Briana, my baby sister, was going to deliver my and Jenna's baby right now. 
Jenna POVThe days quickly passed by.Though we did not talk about it, it seemed as if Charles and I were in tacit agreement to take things slow concerning our careers and concentrate more on each other.We go out of town and do things we had never done before as a couple.It was marvelous.“It’s good that you spend more time with each other because I tell you, once the four babies arrive, you won’t get even a wink of sleep,” Briana told me when I came to her house that afternoon to catch up and to check on her.It’s the baby’s
Jenna POVI turned my head sharply in Beth’s direction to find her busy talking with Brent.They were whispering, and from the blush that tinted her cheeks, I was sure the talk was naughty.“Don’t you want me to be here?” The uncertainty in Charles’ voice got to me.“Of course not!” I denied it, but I could feel my face growing warm because Charles’ eyes were riveted on my packages.I was sure that by just looking at the logo outside the bags, he would know what Beth and I were up to.My guess was not far from the t
Jenna POVWe arrived at our new home much later than expected because I requested the cab driver to drop us off at the nearest florist.After purchasing the flowers I needed, I dragged Beth to the supermarket to buy some scented candles and stuff.“Are you going to sed*ce your husband?” Beth looked confused.I lifted my head from browsing through the label of a scented oil I wanted to purchase to look at her.“What?” I asked since I did not hear her.“If you plan to tempt your husband, you don’t need this.” She told me, looking exasp
Jenna POVAfter Charles left the hospital, I urged Beth to trace our way back inside.We passed the lobby, and I felt weirded out by the looks everyone was giving me. It caused a frown to form on my head. Beth must have noticed my reaction. “Don’t mind them. They just heard about what Gwen did. They all feel sorry for you.” She explained, brushing off the stares I was getting. She even covered her mouth with her hand to stifle a sarcastic laugh. I was surprised not only by the information she shared but also by her reaction. “How?” “Police came here to arrest her. It kind of got messy because Gwen resisted the arrest even when they showed her the warrant. She even tried to run away as if she could escape them. What a d*mmy!” Beth scoffed. It used to confuse me when Beth acted unfriendly toward Gwen. Beth is warm-hearted and is often on good terms with our co-workers, except with Gwen. Now, I know. At first, I did not understand her. Beth admitted that she did not understan
Charles POVAt Jenna’s insistence, I reluctantly left the hospital to go to the office. When I arrived at my office, I was dragging my feet. Whereas before, work had been the boon of my existence.I realized recently that all work and no play made me a very dull person. That’s why it puzzled me why Jenna loved me regardless. “You don’t look too happy reporting for work,” Rowan commented after dragging my feet to my office and finding him, Marcus, and Flint sitting around my conference table. “What are you doing here?” I asked, frowning. “Don’t you have better things to do than loitering around my office?” I asked them when they did not answer my question. My three brothers shrugged their shoulders and simultaneously picked up their coffee mugs to take a sip. My eyes squinted. My brother looked too relaxed for my peace of mind. My eyes narrowed into slits as I pierced them with a glare. Flint immediately rose from his seat to pour my coffee mug and offered it to me. I accepte
Charles POV“Good morning, sir.” The bodyguards posted outside the suite of our surrogates greeted us.“How is everyone?” I asked, stopping to talk to them.Jenna and Beth were still busy in their own world, talking and catching up.Jenna listened in rapt attention as Beth told her about the hardships of first-trimester pregnancy.A smile never left her face, but in my heart, I would always regret that what happened to Jenna denied her the chance to experience pregnancy and motherhood.Still, her talk about forgiveness hit me hard.
