The day my mother was buried, I slept with a strange man. I'm not proud of it but it's something I had go to do. It's called “paying for his kind gesture towards me” I had no money or means to pay him back, so I decided giving him my body was the best thing to do. Seven years later, I don't think it was the best decision I had made but seeing my sextuplets killed every thought of regrets I had. ****** “ Push, push harder Miss Madelyn. ” the doctors in the room kept urging me to keep my eyes open and push even more harder. Doesn't it end? Two babies out already and I'm still pushing. How many little humans are in there? “ Miss Madelyn, congrats you have given birth to triplets. Two boys and a girl.” the nurse announced and I heaved a sigh of relief. “ Wait a minute, there's one more. Push Ms.” one of the doctors interrupted and I fell back to the pillow as a tear escaped my eyes. Just how many babies were in this womb of mine? Three babies a
Jason's POV. “ Mr. Black, Mr. Black Sir..” Whatever it was he wanted, that made him run after me that way had better be something important. “ Mr. Black, I ..” “ What is it Jim? It's so early in the morning, don't you think the company could use a bit of tranquility? Keep it down, you are being too loud.” “ I apologize sir. I just wanted to inform you that there's a package waiting for you in your office. A delivery guy brought it and said it was something important.” I replied with a nod and made my way for the elevator. Jim stood at my side and we headed for the 21st floor. I gazed at my wristwatch briefly to confirm the time. As we stood in the elevator, my mind wandered freely. What's the package about? I have no idea who's bringing a present as early as it was. Grandma would send a text few minutes to the delivery guy arriving and we were not expecting any wrapped box from a business partner, at least not for this week. I tugged at my tie and let it go when I was concerned
Madelyn's POV I shoved Liam behind me and stared directly at the father of my children. I had no idea he was this rich, and until today I had no idea he was the CEO of this company and also the man I had slept with years ago. I had always delivered packages to other departments in the company but none of us knew the other. I was panting for air. It wasn't until then that I realized I had been holding my breath. I was more than petrified. Liam had already risked being know by his father, if Black found about the other children, he would surely take them away from me. If it was taken to court, I'm sure he would win. I had no money, and money was the grease for us to win against CEO Black. “ I'm not hiding anything else. It's just Liam, he's your child and that's all the information you need to know about me.” “ What I need to know or not are not decided by you. I make the decisions here, lady.” Arrogant asshole! If I hadn't been trying to get away fro
Jason's POV The car sped along the express way on the tracks leading to the hospital. City hospital. I haven't been there in such a long time. The family doctor who works at City hospital visited frequently, to check on Grandma and run a few tests at home. We only go there when she insists she doesn't want to be attended to at her house. Weird how she loves the hospital environs. Madelyn had left in a haste. I wonder what's wrong with her. Not like I care but, I have to show a bit of concern towards her now that I know she has a son for me. Liam has a striking resemblance of me when I was little. Staring at the paper between my cold fingers, I read every single thing written down. How was a paternity test done? Did she take my blood or a strand of my hair? “ We are here, Master.” the driver's voice interrupted my line of thoughts and I shoved the piece of paper into my pocket. Throwing my long legs out of the car, I dashed into the hospital and so
Madelyn's POV “ Oh hello Madelyn. Mind telling me whose kids these are? Cause they fucking look like me!” CEO Black was more than furious. What exactly have I gotten myself into? I already had one taken from me, and now Valerie and Daniel. If he knows this two are his kids, he would definitely find about the other three. I didn't think it would be so hard trying to conceal them from him. If only Liam hadn't gone to him in the first place. How the hell did he even get a paternity test done? How did he find his father when even I was in the dark about who he was? So many questions. But now isn't the time to scold my kids and have them spill what they have been hiding. I needed to just come up with another lie. Something he would definitely buy. I looked over the huge raging figure and my eyes collided with a pretty advanced woman. She should definitely be in her eighties but she looked pretty and healthy regardless. Seems she always go about with warm sm
“Look, it's daddy! Daddy, mummy is taking us home. She's mad at us, can you please talk to her?” The whole world stood still. All heads turned, eyes blinked rapidly and hearts stopped beating literally. A lot of whispers, a lot of muffled surprised sounds. The tiny cute creature ran to me and kept tugging at my suit. Under the numerous stares from all, I stooped to her level and patted her hair. She had brown beautiful hair, a charming set of dimples and the sweetest smile that could break ice. “ Mummy is mad? Did you do something wrong?” I looked past Valerie and found her, she was a bit impatient and probably anxious about something. “ Yes, she's annoyed with my brothers and I, daddy..” “ Valerie, we should get going. Your tutor would be home anytime soon. Let's go, young lady.” Madelyn's high pitched voice resonated through the hospital and everyone went about with their normal activities when I cast a few stares. They got the hint and all
Madelyn's POV Xavier had texted earlier that he was on his way after I told him my kids had been involved in an accident. Just a minute after we stepped out of the hospital, his car stopped. My babies were familiar with him already, they knew him as uncle Xavier but chose to refer to him as daddy. And he had never been uncomfortable with it. I met Xavier after I gave birth to my babies. We met at a certain company I had gone to deliver items. My father had cut me off the moment I refused to do his bidding and I was stripped off everything I had and was left with nothing, except a truckload of diamonds which were my children. I still ride pass our house every morning on my way to deliver items, and most times I bump into Mr. Adrian, my father. But he would sneer and look away, while making sure to tell everyone who were around that I used to be his daughter. In no short time, I had become the laughing stock of the city. The rejected heiress who w
Xavier's POV. With my attention divided between Madelyn and the road, it was hard to focus on driving. I wanted to know who her kid referred to as daddy. I wanted to know if the man I thought was behind this was actually the one. “ You know it's been approximately two minutes since I asked you a very crucial and important question, Madelyn. Are you going to answer the goddamn question or do I force it out of you?” Hands visibly shaking, face pale in less than a minute, lines of worry scribbled on her once beautiful face and a heart that beats faster. I have never seen her this scared or worried about nothing in the six years I have been with her. “ Madelyn..” I had stopped over. Couldn't risk us having an accident because I was trying to keep my eyes on the road and at the same time, trying to keep them on the young lady who had gone mute the moment Valerie said what she said. “ They.. my kids..” and she went blank
Madelyn Cara had called me on her way to Nicholas's house. After what Jason had said yesterday, I came to the conclusion that something was wrong. Maybe he had found out who it was that Cara always met with, or perhaps he was going to change the plan. “ I'm sorry. Jason found out on his own, I never told him. He's right beside me, you can ask him yourself.” Cara bellowed, “ I believe you. I and Jason are not best of friends yet, I don't want to to talk to him. Anyways, I will keep you updated on whatever happens at Nicholas's house.” I had a bad feeling, but I couldn't just say it out. I wanted to ask her to come right to us. Why not end this game and seek protection from Jason? I'm sure my husband would do anything I ask of him, even if it included taking my sister in. “ Be safe, Cara. I don't feel good about this.” She tried to lighten my mood. “ Have you eaten? You will feel much better when you eat, Madelyn.” “ You will be pregnant someda
CARA { Warning: Content unsuitable for young readers. This novel is R-18.} Before I could make up my mind about what I was going to do, Nicholas jerked me against him and claimed my mouth in a fierce kiss that made me gasp, then tense. His tongue slipped between my lips, and without wanting to, I opened up for him, parted my lips, wrestled his tongue with mine. My hands found their way into his hair, tugging, raking, wanting him closer and at the same time wanting to shove him away. We always had good sex, but he always made it excruciating. It was either I get whipped during sex or after it. Slipping the vibrating phone into his pocket, he picked me up. My sister called a thousand times before she gave up. Nicholas's dark eyes watched me, something hungry and furious gleaming in their depth. “ I don't want to hurt you, Cara, but you brought this upon yourself. You could have patiently worked with me, after today you would have become a free woman. I would ha
NICHOLAS It's the D-Day. That was all that ran through my head as I took a cold shower. I was more happier for the birth of Madelyn than she was for herself. My outfits were laid out on the bed and though, it was still too early to set out, I went through the list of things we needed, to make sure that we didn't skip a thing. The main reason I was up early was to think about my next move. I knew something was off with Cara, but since I haven't caught her yet, I couldn't accuse her of snitching on me. I knew she was seeing someone yesterday, my men had said they saw her with a strange lady whose face they weren't able to make out. I decided to come see what she was up to, but I was late and those dumb fools said they didn't know when the strange lady left. They saw her make her way for the bathroom, but that was it. She never returned to her seat. She made use of the backdoor. How smart of her. I bumped into Cara on her way out. She wasn't surprised to see m
Madelyn It's my birthday, today. What is it people usually say? Something like the day God brought me into the world for y'all. My husband was up early. When I woke up, he wasn't beside me. Where could he have gone to this early in the morning? Jason was one patient lover. He took his time to explain everything to me yesterday. I can now agree that I'm naive. How come I never thought that plans could be changed? “ Who is it?” someone knocked on the door. I was still in my nighties and I still haven't left my bed. “ Grandma Lorelei asked that you come with me, ma'am Madelyn.” I quickly checked the mirror to see if I had drooled in my sleep. I straightened my hair and strolled out. “ Good morning, Laura.” The maid greeted me with a warm hug. Yes, I hug my maids. At first, they were uncomfortable with it. I knew just what my husband was capable of doing if he found out I was hugging our maids. But, they are humans too. They deserved to be loved and respe
JASON I hurried home and waited for Madelyn. I noticed she had been going out more and her movements were usually discreet. Whenever I asked where she was off to, she would smile and say she only needed to check out some restaurant in town. At first, it was understandable since she was always craving food. But today, I noticed how weirdly she dressed. It's like she was trying to disguise. Over the week she became a very huge fan of scarfs and sunshades and over sized clothing. I knew something wasn't right, so I decided to follow her today and find out where it was she always went, or who she always visited. I have never thought my wife would ever cheat on me, but that was the first thought that came to mind. She didn't have any friends in the city, so who was it that she always visited? I followed the cab she was in. She would never know it was me cause I went on bike, and I had my helmet on. Madelyn stopped at a restaurant just as she had told me,
CARA A day to the big Day. I was running around making last minute preparations. I have to meet with Madelyn today to inform her of all our plans. Or better still, I could call her. Nicholas asked that we all meet at our usual spot. Natasha called to let us know she would be late, her mom had fallen ill. All Nicholas could ever think of was how we should make this work and not about some sick person. “ Listen to me, I don't care if your mom is dying. I want you here on time, we can't have you mess up our big Day. Is this what would happen tomorrow? What? You call and inform us that your mom had a heart attack? See you by 12pm, Natasha.” That was harsh but it would be better to see this two turn against each other. They were the ones calling the shots in this game, and I needed a sort of division between them. “ Do you think she's trying to bail at the last minute? It might be that she doesn't want to go ahead with this, that's why she keeps bringing
JASON A week later after the incident with Black's body, it was my wife's birthday tomorrow. As excited as I was, I was frightened something might go wrong at the party. “ Birthday girl, you look stunning, wife.” Madelyn walked up to me, her smile widened with each passing second. “ It's been a long, long ride Jason. I'm glad we came this far.” “ Do you want a massage? Are you having any of those weird cravings of yours?” I didn't know being pregnant came with a lot of responsibilities. We were just three weeks gone, and I have never been more at loss for the perfect words to describe this whole new feeling. Was this what men went through at the hands of their pregnant wives? Wasn't it a bit too early for her to start having weird cravings? Madelyn never spared me at all. She would wake me up at past 2am and ask me to go get her some sea food. Who the fuck wants seafood at that time of the night? Was it the baby who was demanding for all this or was it my
Rebecca ( Natasha's Mom) Continuation of flashback.It seemed like the end of the world for Caspian. I could have sworn I saw him shed a tear. He looked lost. I should look the same too considering I had just broken up with my boyfriend who I thought I'd be getting married to, but, no one felt much pain like Caspian. Grandma Lorelei warned me. Caspian had a raging temper. He had been in and out of a rehabilitation facility. She said he was just starting to make progress when Melissa came into his life. Over the last couple of months, his anger issues has been kept on check. But now, Black ruined it all. The furious, venomous dark creature made a mess of his room. We could all hear the noise coming from Caspian's room, but neither his mom or brother could dare trying to stop him. “ We should go check on him, grandma. No one deserves to be in such..” Lorelei grabbed my hands and made me promise I'd keep my distance from Caspian, for now. “ When he's like t
NATASHA'S MOM I hurried home after I saw Grandma Lorelei leave. I was heartbroken. It's clear she was the only one that visited yesterday. Why couldn't anyone find a clue, a hint, anything at all? “ Argh!!” I yelled, almost ripping my lungs out as I threw something to the wall. I have been getting more fiery these days and I threw objects more frequently too. If I continue at this rate, I'd have broken almost every object in the house. “ Why have you been so angry the past few days, mom?” My daughter asked from the dinning table. I didn't even notice she was there all throughout. It was just 8am. She was not yet dressed, so I guess she's taking the day off. I had a quick flashback about how last night ended and I felt nothing but guilt for the way I treated her. It was not the best thing to do. I know that too well but I couldn't keep it in no more. She needed to hear a few unkind words, maybe it might help faster. She was too self-centered, and cared abou
