THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN TRIPLETS. CHAPTER 34
The first rays of morning sunlight slipped through the curtains, illuminating the hotel room in a soft golden hue. Rachel stirred awake to the persistent buzz of her phone on the nightstand. Blinking against the light, she reached for it, groaning softly at the interruption. Mia. Her pulse quickened as she sat up, careful not to wake Ethan, who was sprawled out on the other side of the bed. The night’s festivities had clearly taken their toll. Grabbing her robe, she slipped out of bed and padded to the balcony, closing the glass door quietly behind her. The morning air was crisp, carrying the faint aroma of espresso from a nearby café. Rachel answered the call, her voice still groggy. “Mia?” “Oh, Rachel, thank goodness!” Mia’s voice was sharp with worry, her words tumbling out in a rush. “I don’t know what to do. The triplet Dante, Daniella, and Damian have been inconsolable. Dante barely ate yesterday, and Daniella cried herself to sleep. I’ve tried everything, but they kee

The plane landed with a gentle jolt, the dull hum of the engine fading as they taxied to the gate. Outside the window, Rachel could see sheets of rain hammering the tarmac. It was relentless, the kind of storm that blurred the skyline and turned the streets into rivers. “Well, this is perfect,” Rachel muttered under her breath. Ethan, already pulling down their luggage from the overhead compartment, arched a brow. “What’s perfect?” She gestured toward the window. “That. The rain. It looks like it’s not letting up anytime soon.” Ethan followed her gaze, his expression unreadable. “We’ll figure it out. Let’s just get off this plane first.” ---The airport was chaotic. Crowds of passengers huddled around monitors displaying endless rows of canceled flights and delayed departures. Rachel clutched her bag tightly, feeling a headache brewing. “This is a nightmare,” she murmured, scanning the terminal for any sign of a solution. Ethan, his phone in hand, remained calm. “I’ll bo

The first rays of dawn crept through the heavy hotel curtains, casting faint golden lines on the plush carpet. Rachel stirred awake, her mind already buzzing with the anticipation of seeing her kids. She glanced at the other bed where Ethan lay, his face relaxed in sleep, unaware of her plans to leave without him.She slipped out of bed quietly, careful not to make a sound, and began gathering her belongings. Every movement felt deliberate, a mix of guilt and determination. As much as Ethan had been supportive, this reunion with her children was something she needed to do alone.Once her bag was packed, Rachel scribbled a quick note, leaving it on the nightstand for Ethan: “Had to leave early. I’ll explain later. Thank you for everything.”With one last glance at him, she slipped out of the room, her heart pounding. The rain from the night before had eased to a soft drizzle, and the airport terminal was already bustling. It didn’t take long to catch a cab to Mia’s apartment.---Mia’s

The grocery store was busier than usual, with the hum of shopping carts and the soft chatter of customers filling the air. Rachel pushed her cart down the cereal aisle, checking her list. Dante wanted the chocolate-flavored kind, Damian insisted on the healthy oats, and Danielle couldn’t decide. Typical. As she reached for a box, a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts. “Rachel?” She turned to see Max standing at the end of the aisle, his dark hair slightly tousled, and a warm, slightly surprised smile on his face. Dressed casually in a leather jacket and jeans, he looked every bit as confident and charming as she remembered. “Max,” she said, her voice tinged with equal parts surprise and awkwardness. “Hi.” “Hi? That’s all I get after you ghosted me?” he teased, walking closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief. Rachel felt a flush creep up her cheeks. “I didn’t ghost you. Things… got busy.” Max arched a brow. “Too busy to reply to a single text?” She sighed, placing the cere

Rachel stepped off the elevator and into the buzzing hum of her office. The scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air as employees hustled past, their arms filled with files and tablets. Her heels clicked against the polished floor with each step measured and purposeful, but the weight in her chest grew heavier as she approached Donna's desk.Donna looked up, her expression softening into a mix of relief and trepidation. "Morning, Rachel," she said, standing and smoothing her skirt nervously. "Good morning, Donna." Rachel shrugged off her coat, draping it over her arm. She tilted her head, reading the flicker of uncertainty on Donna's face. "What's going on? You look like you're about to tell me someone set the building on fire."Donna gave a nervous chuckle, her eyes darting to make sure no one was listening in. "Not exactly, but… there's something I need to tell you. Something strange." Rachel raised an eyebrow, her fingers clenching on the coat. "Go on." Donna leaned

The sound of children’s laughter filled Rachel’s home as she walked in, the familiar noise washing over her with a mix of comfort and exhaustion. Dante was sitting at the kitchen table, absorbed in a game on his tablet, while Damian and Danielle played with their toys on the living room rug. The whisper of a lullaby played through the speakers, enveloping the room in a cocoon of sound. Rachel took a deep breath and sank onto the arm of the couch, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on her.“Hey, Mom! Can you help me find the dragon? Dante called, not looking up.A message from Max.“Just a reminder about dinner tonight. Hope you’re ready!”Rachel looked at the screen, the feeling of warmth in the response battling the coldness of the internal vacuum of confusion. It had been a long day filled with too many questions and not enough answers. The thought of leaving the kids at home made her hesitate. What if something happened? But she pushed the worry aside. She needed a break,

The conference room was dimly lit, the morning sun filtering through the blinds in muted stripes. Ethan sat at the head of the table, his jaw tight, eyes sharp as he looked around at the gathered team. Danny, his secretary, adjusted her blazer as she took her seat beside him, her expression unreadable but her eyes alert. Lucas and Liam stood off to the side, their postures tense. Greg, the tech manager, shifted his weight nervously, glancing at Danny, who had a no-nonsense look on her face.Ethan’s voice cut through the silence. “The leak during my trip with Rachel almost cost us a major deal, and I want answers.Greg swallowed, eyes darting to Lucas and Liam before landing back on Ethan. “We’re working on it, Ethan. I'm looking for the leak's source," says Greg“You’d better, Ethan said, his tone low, the room’s atmosphere heavy with his frustration. “We can't afford another hit like that. We need to know how our systems were breached.”Lucas, who had been silent until now, stepped f

Ethan sat at his desk, reviewing the latest reports from the design team, his sharp gaze scanning every line. His focus was interrupted when his phone buzzed beside him. He glanced at the screen: Sophia Greenwood,His Fiancée.For a moment, he considered ignoring it. He wasn’t in the mood for another one of Sophia’s dramatic conversations. But when the phone rang a second time, he sighed and picked it up. “Sophia,” he said curtly. “Ethan,” her voice was sharp, demanding. “We need to talk. Now.” “I’m in the middle of work, Sophia. Whatever it is, it’ll have to wait.” “Work?” she scoffed. “Is your work more important than planning our wedding? Or are you avoiding me again?” Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’m not avoiding you. I’m handling critical matters for my company.” “Well, this is critical too,” Sophia snapped. “I’m coming to your office.” “No, Sophia,” Ethan said firmly. “I don’t want this conversation to turn into a scene. Let’s meet at the Azure Lounge in a

The article detailed how this new brand had taken social media by storm, challenging the long-held dominance of Mavericks &Co. in the fashion industry.He tipped his cup to the floor and coffee flowed from it onto the desk. He didn't even bother to call any help without wasting a second, he called Greg and summoned his core team for an urgent meeting.---The meeting room buzzed with tension. Mark, Ethan’s father’s long-time friend, sat with a smug expression, leaning back in his chair as though he already knew how the meeting would end. Danny, the publicist, did a restless tap on her laptop as Liam crossed his arms inside and an inky frown screwed itself on his face. Greg glanced at Ethan, waiting for him to speak.Ethan entered the room, his presence commanding attention. His tie was slightly loosened a sign of the stress weighing on him.

Rachel walked back and forth in the living room, just after putting the children to sleep. Her arms crossed snugly around her breast, her mind buzzing with anger and hurt. Ethan sat on the edge of the couch, his elbows resting on his knees, staring at the floor. The tension in the air was suffocating, both of them unsure of how to start the conversation that hung heavily between them.Rachel finally broke the silence, her voice trembling but sharp. “Do you even realize what’s happening, Ethan? It’s because of you. You've dragged me into this mess and now everybody hates me. Hundreds of thousands of people who don't even know me are calling me names, criticizing me for something, calling me names and a husband snatcher”Ethan’s head snapped up, his eyes filled with guilt. “Rachel, I know you’re hurt. I’m trying to fix this—”“Fix this?” Rachel cut in, her voice becoming hoarse in a round of pain-struck gestures as her hands shot to her waist. “You can’t fix this, Ethan. This is Sophi

Lying on her velvet armchair, Sophia read a book when suddenly her door opened loudly. Of course, she did not flinch, because she knew how Michael would burst into her room. He entered furiously but at the same time looked puzzled; his dark eyebrows knitted, his lips pressed in a thin line."You knew!" Michael spat, slamming the door shut behind him. "You knew those kids weren't mine, and you didn't think it was worth telling me?"Sophia calmly set her book on the side table, crossing one leg over the other, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips as she regarded him with an air of superiority. "And ruin the fun of finding out yourself? Where is the excitement in that?" she said in a tone full of mockery.Michael's jaw clenched, his fists at his sides. He stormed over to the liquor cabinet, yanked the door open, and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. He poured himself a glass with shaking hands, spilling a few drops onto the glass table.I should have known this was your doing, he grumble

Ethan sat at his desk, fingers beating on the wood veneer in some rhythmic way. Outside the heavy wood doors of his office, there was a soft hum of activity, but he focused only on the glowing screen of his laptop as he went through the drafts of the official statement Danny had made, his eyebrows furrowed.Danny knocked first, then entered, clasping a clipboard tightly against her chest. "Sir, Greg said he has something going on tracing the videos back to their origin, but it's taking him longer than anticipated. He needs more resources in order to speed up the process."Ethan leaned back in his chair; the leather groaned a bit as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Give him everything he needs, Danny. This is priority one. I don't care about how much it's going to cost or how many people he's got to bring on board-just get it done.""Yes, sir," Danny said with a nod, jotting a quick note on her clipboard. "And about the statement you wanted to release regarding the videos?"Ethan st

Rachel sat at the dining table and watched as the children dug into their pancakes, syrup dripping down their little hands, their giggles filling the room like a soothing melody that momentarily quieted the storm raging in her mind. Events of the past days had shaken her, but it was moments like these that made her feel back on solid ground. She absent-mindedly scrolled through her phone with one hand and sipped her coffee with the other, hoping to be distracted.Then she saw it-a headline with her name. Her heart dropped. Her fingers froze mid-scroll before she gained the courage to tap the link. Much to her surprise, the page came up blank. She refreshed it once, then twice. A wave of relief washed over her when she realized the content had been removed, no doubt due to Ethan's work. She inhaled deeply, but the weight in her chest didn't completely lift.Mom," Daniella's tiny voice broke into her thoughts, tugging at her sleeve. Rachel looked up at her daughter, who stared at her w

Ethan sat opposite the lead investigator at the police station. His fingers tapped impatiently on the edge of the desk, while his face screwed tightly, his jaw clenched down, and a thin furrow set between his eyebrows. A fact that Ethan had hardly slept well for days was aptly reflected in the dark circles hanging like bruises beneath his eyes."Mr. Carter," the officer started, his voice even but threaded with frustration, "we questioned every single protester. None of them met anyone directly. All they got were private messages-anonymous, untraceable."Ethan's eyebrows shot upwards while his lips pursed into a thin line. "Anonymous?" he repeated, his voice sharp. "You are telling me that somebody out there is running this whole mayhem from behind the scenes and you can't tell who?" The officer leaned back in his chair with steepled fingers. "Whoever is behind this knows what they are doing, and they covered their tracks well.Ethan blew heavily and massaged his temples. His face r

Above, fluorescent lights hummed softly above the police station-a very soft hum that did nothing to drown out the tension in the room. Ethan sat forward on the chair, his jaw clenched, his fingers tapping impatiently on the cold metal armrest. Across the table, a knot of protesters slumped, bravado drained from earlier posturing. They shifted under the officers' sharp gazes, their guilt across slouched postures and darting eyes.Ethan leaned forward, his dark eyes boring into them. "Who put you up to this?" he demanded, his voice low and steady, laced with steel.The protesters shifted uneasily, eyes darting about, their feet scuffling the tiled floor. Finally, one of them spoke-a young man with a scraggly beard-his voice quavering. "We don't know who it was. Somebody sent us money. Told us to, uh. show up and, you know, cause a scene."Ethan's brow furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line. "And you didn't think to question it?" he snapped, frustration bubbling over. “You didn't

Rachel adjusted her blazer, the fingers trembling, as she stepped out of the cab. The soft click of her heels against the pavement was drowned by the chaos ahead: the normal entry building of her company now was a battleground. Protesters crowded the front entrance, their faces twisted in anger. Chants echoed through the street, accompanied by the sound of eggs splattering against the glass doors. Rachel froze for one second, her heart sinking as it finally registered. Her shoulders stiffened, but she forced herself to take a steady breath. “ You built this company from nothing,she reminded herself”. “You’re not going to let it crumble now.” Keeping her head low, she circled to the back entrance, her steps quick and purposeful. Her chest tightened with each step, the echoes of the protesters’ angry cries trailing behind her. As she slid into the building, the usual warmth of her office felt eerily cold. Donna, her secretary, was waiting at her door. Her face was white and her

Morning sun poured in through the windshield through the driver's side at times from the windshield when Rachel steered the car onto the street. They were in the back of the car and their discussions filled the car. Rachel smiled softly, glancing at them through the rearview mirror. Her chest filled with love, while listening to the song, as Daniella hummed, while Damian and Dante shared a secret in hushed tones.“Mummy, our class teacher told us that we are going to have parents day in school soon" Dante tells her after gossiping with his brother.“Really!" Rachel smiled as she stared at them through the mirror.“Yes" the voice of Damian filled the car with his joyful tone. “So you want me to come?" She asked them “Yes mama" Damian shouted.“Alright, don't strain yourself Damian" she said softly as he settled down quietly.When they got close to the school, Rachel observed a black SUV in close shadow behind her. She frowned, checking her rearview mirror again. Soon, another car joi
