(Anj’s POV)“Or not!” I said right away.He smiled and glanced at me again. “I’m just kidding, Anj. I know you wanted to get home to the girls.”I breathed in relief and smiled at him. “Sorry, I haven’t had it for a long time.” I regretted saying it because Sky stepped on the brake to stop the car. “Sky!” I growled at him. “I was only-”“Red light, Anj. Relax,” He chuckled, pointing at the traffic light. “But I’ve been thinking.”I looked at him nervously. “Thinking of what?”“Thinking of you and how good you smell,” he whispered, his eyebrows knitting as if remembering something. “How familiar your scent is to me,” he looked at me again, smiling sheepishly.“My children gave you my perfume, that’s why,” I said to him, biting my thumb now as I could not relax.He nodded. “Yeah, right,” he uttered in agreement but narrowed his eyes like there was something more. “Where to?”“Turn right,” I peeked outside the window, making sure I was giving him the right direction.“You lived near Heav
(Anj’s POV)Still wrapped in my bath towel, I almost jumped back to the bathroom when I saw Anya, her arms crossed to her chest as she waited for me to step outside the room.“Geez, Anya,” I hissed, hoping to walk past her, but she blocked me, not stepping aside. “Did something happen between you and Sky?” she asked suspiciously, her eyes squinting at me and her lips pursing as she raised her eyebrows.“Nothing!” I glared at her, nudging my head and pointing to my sleeping children. “I already told you, he came by the office, and I didn’t have a ride home. He’s just a good Samaritan offering me a ride in this crazy weather.”“Really,” she smirked. “So, Sky Mars offered you a ride home, and what? You arrived here with swollen lips, bright eyes, and…” she puckered her lips, pointing to the upper slope of my breast. “Kiss mark on that part.”I crossed my arms, wrapping them around my body and hiding the proof of my insanity today. She chuckled when I walked past her in a hurry to get s
(Anj’s POV)“Mommy?” Selene cupped my face.When I opened my eyes, three pairs of worried eyes were staring at me. My lips curved a sweet and gentle smile, seeing my girls.“Mommy, are you okay?” Leyanne placed her palm on my forehead.I stretched my arms and yawned, still tired after yesterday’s event in their school and the hot night with Sky. Thinking of those searing kisses we shared, I breathed out as the heat crept to my body and turned my face apple red.“You must be sick, mommy?” Lyra Helene gasped. “Your face is soooo red.”I could not help myself from laughing at my children as I got up and leaned on the bed’s headrest. I opened my arms wide, welcoming the three in my arms, and embraced them tightly.“Argh! What have you been eating these days?” I groaned and chuckled when Selene came on top of me, resting her head on my chest and wrapping her arms around me. Leyanne snuggled to my right and Lyra Helene to my other side. My two girls stretched their arms, embracing me. The
(Anj’s POV)“Did the world fall on you, Anj?” Anya asked when I came to the dining room.I sat quietly, forcing a smile as I picked up the cup of coffee and watched Dylan sit on the head seat across from me. This has been our usual seating arrangement since I returned to Aunt Rose’s house.“Mommy, look,” Leyanne said excitedly. “Uncle Dylan made us shaped pancakes,” She propped her elbows on the table and picked up the heart-shaped pancake.“Mine is the moon,” Selene said, wanting to tell her that the pancake’s normal shape is a circle. Dylan pressed his lips, suppressing a smile. How he made her believe it was a moon rather than a circle is impressive to me.Lyra Helene only giggled, so I assumed we were thinking the same thing, but I caught a glimpse of the star-shaped pancake she was eating.“Uncle Dylan is trying to impress the girls,” Anya chimed in, picking up her cup and sipping her coffee as she glanced at Dylan.“Mommy, Uncle Dylan is asking what your plan for tomorrow is,” L
(Anj’s POV)When Kat told me I had a handsome visitor, I wanted to tell her that ‘handsome’ was not even the right word to describe Sky. He is a strikingly gorgeous man, my own perfect Greek god who has the power to bring electrifying feelings to my body, and someone who could make me forget myself and my values whenever he started touching me.Overhearing my colleague about it, my daughters excitedly went inside the faculty room only to be surprised to see a handsome man, but not their father. Standing up and smiling sweetly at me, Finn greeted me as he handed me a bouquet of peach roses.“Finn, what are you doing here?” A voice so familiar that my children ran to him as if to look for shelter and protection, seeing a stranger in front of them giving me beautiful roses.“Daddy!” They all cried at the same time, with Selene raising her arms to her father. Like it was just usual for him, he bent and carried her into his arms before walking toward us.“Sky? Daddy?” Finn was not only tak
(Sky’s POV)Anj jolted when my lips touched her soft lips, startling her as I kissed her. I wanted to do this since I woke up this morning, and when the kids called me, I just got a way to see her again. What I did not expect was to see Finn here with a bouquet of roses and cake.What is he up to now?“Daddy,” Lyra Helene and Selene giggled, stopping me from kissing her deeper.I kissed Lyra Helene’s cheek and Selene’s before turning my back on Anj, giving her time to breathe.“What do you want Daddy to cook?” I asked Selene as we waited in the hallway. “God, what has mommy been feeding you? You’re heavy.”“Bread,” she giggled and wriggled her body, so I put her down, and she ran with her sister. “Spaghetti, Daddy. I want spaghetti,” she said as she squealed in delight when Leyanne ran after her.“Me, too! Me, too!” Leyanne jumped in front of me.I chuckled. “Okay! We’ll have spaghetti. How about you, Lyra Helene?” I asked when they went out of the faculty room. She was still in her m
(Sky’s POV)“Woah!” The triplets beautiful round eyes widened as we entered my penthouse. I seldom used this place, and not even once that I brought a woman here. This was my haven, a place I could call my own man cave, that not even Lalaine knew this place.Finn smirked, entering the house and placing the bouquet of roses on the living room’s center table. He walked to the kitchen, and I bet putting the cake box on the kitchen island.Anj sat quietly on the couch, her eyes wandering in the living room as she glanced at her kids from time to time as they ran around, giggling happily inside the room. My lips curved into an undeniably happy smile, so overwhelming that I felt my heart was full of happiness. I never thought my living room with kids running around would be an exciting sight for me.Sitting on the arm of the couch, I stood up. “I have a surprise for you, kids,” I said, gesturing my hands to come to me and pretending not to notice their mother frowning at me.They all ran to
(Anj’s POV)Sky Mars was crazy for making my children very happy.Seeing how happy they were jumping in their own beds, running happily inside the bedroom full of toys, and their faces shining brightly for having something they never had before was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. Things are getting out of my hand now, and if Sky finds out the triplets are his flesh and blood, he will hate me, and it will be easier for him to get my children from me. My heart pounding hard inside my chest, I went out of the room to look for my children.We have to leave now.I didn’t need to check the room next to the girls’ bedroom because I knew they would not stay there, and following their giggles and excited voices, I walked back to the living room, pushed the ajar door slowly, and saw my children looking stunned at their father’s study room.“Mommy! Mommy! Mommy, look,” Leyanne said excitedly, running toward me and holding my hand to join them inside the room.The welling tears in
