THE BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN TRIPLETS. CHAPTER 9
As we walked into the mall, the cool air-conditioned atmosphere enveloped us, providing a welcome respite from the tension between us. Ethan's strides were long and purposeful, and I struggled to keep up, my palms still tingling from the touch of his hands. We entered a high-end shoe store, and the sales associate greeted Ethan with a warm smile. "Mr. Ethan, welcome back! What can we help you find today?" Ethan's eyes scanned the shelves, his gaze lingering on the designer labels. "Find her something suitable," he instructed, his voice firm but polite. The associate nodded, presenting me with several options. Ethan rejected each pair, his criticism biting. "Those are ugly. Show her something better." I intervened, choosing a simple yet elegant pair of black pumps. Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Those are acceptable," he said. As the associate rang up the purchase, Ethan's phone buzzed. He answered, his expression darkening. "I'll handle it," he said, his voice low and menac

I stepped into my sun-drenched design studio, surrounded by racks of exquisite fabrics, vintage patterns, and the soft hum of sewing machines. The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the sweet aroma of silk and lace. This was my sanctuary, where creativity knew no bounds.As a renowned fashion designer, my passion was crafting garments that made women feel like the best version of themselves. My eponymous label, "Elegance &Style," had gained a loyal following among style enthusiasts and fashionistas alike. My designs were a masterful blend of classic elegance and modern sophistication, with intricate details that told a story.My own story was one of perseverance and dedication. Growing up, I spent hours sketching dresses and watching my mother, a talented seamstress, bring my designs to life. After completing fashion school, I honed my skills working under top designers in New York and Paris. Five years ago, I took the leap and launched my own label,

After finishing Miss Smith's design, I took a short break before my next appointment. Donna popped her head in. "Rachel, your next client is here. Miss Rosalina Franchez."I smiled, standing up to greet my cousin. "Rosie! It's so great to see you!"Rosie rushed into the studio, enveloping me in a warm hug. "Rach, darling! I'm so excited to be here. Mama told me all about your latest collection."We sat down, chatting like old times. "So, tell me about Ana's wedding. What's the theme?"Rosie's eyes sparkled. "It's a vintage-inspired garden wedding. Ana wants something elegant and whimsical."I nodded, taking mental notes. "I have just the thing. Let's create a custom gown that reflects Ana's personality."Rosie grinned. "That sounds perfect. Ana will love it."As we discussed the design, Rosie's eyes kept darting to the fabrics. "Rach, I love that lace. Can we incorporate it into the dress?""Absolutely," I said, pulling out the lace. "This French Alençon lace will add a touch of sophi

As I stepped into my cozy apartment, the soft glow of the evening lights enveloped me, casting a warm ambiance that seemed to melt away the stresses of the day. I couldn't shake off the excitement of the evening's events, though - Ethan's proposal, the charity auction, and the potential collaboration with Emma Stone swirled in my mind like a tantalizing cocktail.I kicked off my heels, sinking into the plush couch with a contented sigh. My phone buzzed with texts from Ethan, reiterating the plan and assigning tasks. I scrolled through the messages, my mind racing with ideas and possibilities.As I drifted off to sleep, visions of red-carpet glamour and fashion icons danced in my head, the soft hum of the city outside my window a gentle lullaby.The next morning, I woke up to a sunny Saturday, the warm rays of sunlight streaming through my window. No design meetings or client appointments today - just a relaxing day with the girls.I arrived at Ana's house, greeted by the sound of laug

Sophie glided into the office, her gaze scanning the room until it landed on me.Her emerald eyes flashed with distaste, a hint of jealousy simmering beneath."Rachel,i have heard so much about you," she said, her voice laced with venom."I hope it's all good thoughts," I askedEthan's expression darkened, his jaw clenched. "Sophie, what are you doing here?"Sophie's smile was saccharine. "I hoped to surprise you, darling."Ethan's tone was icy. "You're interrupting."Sophie's gaze lingered on me before shifting back to Ethan. "Am I?"Ethan's arrogance faltered for a moment, replaced by irritation."Sophie, we discussed this. I have work to do."Sophie's smile never wavered. "I won't keep you long."The tension between them was palpable.Sophie's face fell, her eyes flashing with anger. "Fine. Keep your secrets, Ethan."Ethan's expression remained unyielding. "This is business, Sophie. Not personal."Sophie's gaze shifted to me, her voice dripping with venom. "I'm sure Rachel understa

"The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Between juggling pop-up projects, parenting, and keeping my life from imploding, I'm exhausted. And let's not forget the drama-filled cherry on top - Max's confession and Ethan and Sophia's never-ending soap opera. Honestly, I want no part in it. I've worked too hard to build my reputation and meet my deadlines to let their drama derail me. That old mantra, 'Fake it till you make it,' has been my survival motto for years. So, I put on a brave face and push through. Today was a marathon. I spent hours at the office, lost in spreadsheets and reports. Before I knew it, the day had slipped away, and it was already mid-afternoon. As I packed up to head home, Ethan appeared, requesting my presence at a quaint cafe near his shop. 'Follow me,' he said, his expression cryptic. My mind began to wander - what now? That afternoon, Ethan and I sat across from each other in a cosy café near Mavericks & Co. The tension between us crackled like electr

I thought it was about time we learnt about Ethan a little bit more? It was hard to give him more character development,when Rachel doesn't want to have anything to do with him except for their partnership. But as the book progresses you will get to understand why he is like this.********************************************************************************************************ETHAN'S POV: People think being born with a silver spoon guarantees a life of ease. But they're wrong. My life as the heir to a million-dollar corporation has been a never-ending struggle.My father, the corporation's ruthless leader of Maverick's & Co, has made my life a living hell. He's constantly reminded me that I'm not guaranteed the company, that he can give it to someone else if I don't meet his expectations.But that's not even the worst part. My father's verbal and physical abuse has scarred me. I've witnessed him beating my mom, justified by his twisted belief that "women are meant to be submi

Rachel’s Pov.I woke up this morning with the heavy weight of memory pressing down on my chest. It's been fifteen years, but every year on this day, it's like nothing has changed. I still feel them, all around me—their absence. I guess grief doesn’t ever really go away; it just gets a little quieter, a little more manageable. But today, February 18th, it feels like the world has stood still, just like that moment when the phone call came, shattering everything.I didn’t want to be anywhere but there, at their graves. So I packed up the car with the flowers—golden daisies for Mom, because they were her favorite. She loved how bright they were, how they always seemed to stand tall, even when everything around them seemed to fall apart. And purple orchids for Dad. He had a thing for orchids, a quiet admiration for their grace, their elegance. He always said they were like people—you had to nurture them, but once you did, they bloomed in ways you’d never expect. I didn’t understand that u

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

The plush red velvet booth of the high-class restaurant cradled Sophia's back as her fingers absently traced the rim of her wine glass. The low hum of chatter and the clinking of cutlery filled the room, blending with the faint melody of a pianist playing in the corner. Dim, ambient lighting drenched the room with a golden glow, but Sophia's face was cold, and her hard eyes were glued to Michael across from her. “As you can see in the news, I am now being referred to as the clingy, rude, spoiled princess that can't handle her prince charming breaking up with her" Micheal let out a smug smile trying to press the laughter budding from him. “I don't get the fact on how your father couldn't control the media narrative until it was too late" Sophia looked at him, her eyes burning from anger remembering the disgrace she had to pass through and the fact she couldn't go anywhere till the new died. “I want them to pay with their life and their blood. You can't imagine the disgrace I went th

Ethan leaned back, watching Rachel as her sobs began to subside. She was pale and fragile-looking, clinging to the edge of the table for dear life. The tension in her shoulders cut through his chest like a knife. "Rachel," he said softly, leaning forward. "You can't keep doing this to yourself. Please, talk to me."Rachel shook her head, quivering lips. "There's nothing to talk about, Ethan," she stammered, not looking up at him. "There is something to talk about, Rachel. Your behavior today isn't normal. You aren't like this, and I want the strong, determined Rachel back" Ethan spilled out.Rachel glared at him, her heart pounding from the fears of the message and a thought of somebody already sending the same message to him. How is he going to react? Is he going to be happy or sad? Different thoughts and narrations run through her head. Her thoughts were interrupted by Ethan growl.Like I said before, this is not your family or your life and I don't think there is something to tal

Rachel held the steering wheel tight, the knuckles pale against the leather as she pulled up to the school gates. She wasn't supposed to be here this early-school hours weren't over yet-but her nerves had driven her here without thought. The nanny approached her in surprise, "Ma'am, is everything okay? School isn't over yet"I didn't ask for your opinion," Rachel snapped, cutting her off. Her voice came out sharp, and her eyes blazed with an irritation she couldn't explain. "Mind your own business. I don't owe you an explanation. Remember, I pay your salary, not the other way around.”The nanny recoiled but didn't say anything, her gaze going down to the floor. The heart of Rachel somersaulted with guilt, but she brushed it aside as she ushered the children with her. As they hiked up into the car, Dante, her oldest, swung toward her, furrowing his brows. "Mom, that wasn't nice. Why did you speak with her like that?Rachel breathed in deeply and clutched the wheel. "I don't know, Da

Rachel readjusted the strap of her handbag, kneeling before her children as her voice turned firm but soothing. "Listen, sweethearts. Today, no talking to strangers, all right? And remember, I'll be the one picking you up after school." Her voice softened, and her eyes shone bright as she looked into the innocent eyes of her children. "Promise me you'll be good?The three of them nodded, their small faces serious. Rachel forced a smile, leaning in to kiss each of them on the forehead. Her youngest clung to her for a moment longer, and she squeezed her tightly before standing. Turning to the nanny, she lowered her voice. "If anything happens, call me directly. No one else."The nanny nodded, taking in the urgency in Rachel's voice. With one last wave at her kids, she walked toward her car. The starting of the engine felt heavier than usual inside her chest. Something didn't feel right today, but she decided to brush the feeling aside and drive towards Ethan's company.---As she arri

On her father's marble floor, inside his plush study, knelt Sophia, clinging to her father's leg as if he were some kind of lifeline. Her sobs reverberated from the walls, raw and unrestrained, her nails digging into his trousers. Her face was pale, streaked with tears, her usually flawless appearance shattered.Daddy, please," she broke down. "You got to stop this! They are ruining me this way. Everybody thinks I am some cheap and desperate woman who cannot take no for an answer, and I just can't take it anymore.Her father, Mr. Greenwood, stood tall and stiff, clenching his jaw as he looked down at his daughter. His lips were a thin line from annoyance and concern. He reached down and cupped her tear-marked face with firm tenderness."Sophia," he said, his voice low but commanding. "Enough of this. You are my daughter, and no one has the right to drag your name through the mud. But you must stop this hysteria." Sophia shook her head violently. Her dark curls bounced with each motio

Ethan sat at the head of the table, his gaze unwavering as the reporters shouted questions at him, their words sharp and accusatory. The media conference was only halfway through, but it felt like hours. His hands clenched at the sides of his podium as the relentless barrage of questions continued.A reporter from the Daily Times stood up first, microphone in hand. “Mr. Grey, it’s clear that you’ve made a fool of yourself in front of the world. You’ve ruined a promising business deal, jeopardized your father’s legacy, and now you’re abandoning a well-established engagement with Sophia Greenwood. How do you explain this?” The words hit like a slap across his face. Ethan’s jaw tightened, but he kept his voice even. “I didn’t ruin anything. I made a decision based on my personal values. The business will continue to operate as usual.” The room erupted with murmurs, but before he could continue, another reporter cut in. “Is this what it takes to get your attention? A media circus? You
