Chapter 6: A Dangerous Game. 

“Do you have any idea who must be behind this?” Landon questioned his P. A, who had been standing in one position, awaiting his boss' command and instructions. 

“No, sir!” He replied politely, getting Landon furious with such a response. 

Landon can't seem to wrap his head around the whole thing. He couldn't seem to fathom out who must have hacked his account. 

Landon knew every good cyber security expert in this country, and he wasn't sure they could do this to him. They were familiar with him and respected him greatly. 

If they were really behind this, he believed they would have made away with a much larger sum of money. 

“Think, Owen. Do you know any upcoming cyber security? Probably someone who's good with technology?” 

Landon questioned him again, determined to catch the culprit today and teach them a lesson. 

“ I'm not really sure, but I heard there's this triplets attending your school, they're good with technology. What if someone made plans with them to hack your account?” 

Owen suggested, making his mind go wild immediately. 

“Triplets?” He repeated. “How old are they?” He demanded, his tone filled with curiosity. 

“I don't know, sir! Please give me time, I'll do a background check on them and get back to you immediately.” 

*******

That day, Landon went home after work. He couldn't hide the anger in him, it was showing through his actions. Gianna could see right through him. 

“ I have been waiting for you to come back!” Gianna, his wife, rasped in at him. 

“And why's that?” His tone was harsh and serious. Far from friendly. 

Gianna didn't mind. She was used to his tone. She was used to that. 

“ It's about Luke, our son!” His eyes widened in shock, and he turned to Face her. 

“Luke is being bullied by some kids in school!!” She murmured exhaustedly.  

“And why can't he bully them back?”  

Landon hated it when Gianna brought matters like this to him. 

The last time, she approached him for the same reason,and begged him to expel the kids bullying Luke. Now, the same thing. 

“You know you can't make me expel any kids in that school just because our son is being bullied. Maybe you should teach him how to stand up for himself next time.” 

Landon was already annoyed, he didn't want to continue with the conversation so he stood up, attempting to walk away when she made a statement that pulled his attention. 

“Triplets!” She murmured at him, her eyes flaring in anger. 

“They're three of them. Not just one person. Luke is being bullied by two boys and a girl, who seem to be triplets.” 

Landon leaned towards her and sat her down. 

“What do you know about them?” Tell me everything. 

Gianna was stunned at how his mood quickly changed. 

“From what I heard, they've won many awards in the school, they're brilliant and geniuses when it comes to technology.” 

London's heart skipped a beat immediately. His thoughts drifted to different directions. 

If what she's saying it's true, then he needed to get hold of them, before someone else did. He believes he needs them. 

“And I believe they're the ones behind my stolen twenty million dollars. Which disappeared overnight.” 

Landon said, making Gianna heart to race.

“How? How come? How did that happen and when? 

She needs to meet with them. Gianna believes she needs their help, before her secret comes out. 

*****

“Thank you so much mother,” the kids said joyfully as they made their way home. 

Avery had taken them shopping like she had promised. She bought everything they needed, including a bicycle they've been requesting 

They all brought out their ice-cream and pizza, and attempted to eat when Ethan made a suggestion.

“Mother, why don't we move out of this place? I believe we would be able to rent a nice house with some of the money.” 

Avery almost choked on the drink she was sipping at Ethan's sudden suggestion.  

She couldn't help but wonder what had come over him to make Such a suggestion. 

“Don't you like this place?” Avery was bothered. Perhaps there's someone threatening them in this place 

“ I support what Ethan said, mother!”

 Avery knew this wasn't a random suggestion. Something must be going on for Ella to even support his words. 

“I support them too, mother! Let's move out of here.” 

A lump formed in Avery's heart as she found it hard to continue eating. She had lost her appetite, realising the triplets might be hiding something from her. 

“Ethan, Evan, and Ella!” She called out their names, her heart racing in strong rhyme. 

“Is there something you're not telling me?” The triplets rolled their eyes at each other and nodded their heads. 

“No, Mother!” They chorused in unison. At the same time. 

“I do hope you guys aren't being threatened in this neighborhood. You can always tell me if anyone threatens you.” She assured them. 

The triplets were worried that they would start paying for their crimes. 

They feared that billionaire Landon might have traced them. And if that happened, they didn't want to put their innocent mother in trouble. 

They just want to move to a faraway place before that happens. 

Avery thought about what they said and continued eating, Perhaps it wasn't really a big deal for them to make such suggestions. 

****

 Avery's phone buzzed, bringing her back to reality. 

“Avery, please, I need your service.” It was a message from one of her clients_ a man. 

Avery stared at the message for a while and sighed. Her instinct was telling her not to go, but she knew this man was her highest paying client. 

It seems like he had fought with someone again and he needed her to treat his wounds. the last time she went over to treat him, he was brutally beaten beyond recognition. 

Even then, he had tried to pull a sneaky move on her. 

Avery didn't want to go back to her work now ,but the conversation with the triplets made her realize she needed more money, if not, they would run out, and she didn't want that to happen. 

“I will be going out to do something. Please take care of yourself while I'm away.” Avery headed to her room, changed, took her treatment box, and went straight to the road to hail a cab. 

After thirty minutes, Avery arrived at the estate where he lived. She was about to step out of the car when she spotted a familiar face, 

The person was just a few miles away from her, but she was certain that if they turned, they would definitely Spot her as well. 

Avery quickly paid the cab driver and hurried in the opposite direction_ only to come face to face with Gianna, who was heading the same way. 

“What a coincidence,” Gianna murmured, but Avery heard her, she ignored it and continued walking. 

“Avery!” Gianna called again.

Avery was forced to halt her footsteps this time and turned to look at her with a smirk. 

“What do you want?” Avery demanded, grinning at her. 

Gianna examined her from head to toe, then burst into laughter, as if she had found something amusing. Avery’s cheap clothing and the box treatment in her hands. 

Which made Gianna believe that she still hasn't been able to fight poverty. 

“ You know one thing I hate about poor people?” She questions with a contemptuous smile. 

“ is that, they're comfortable where they are. Don't they want to take risks in order to become rich,” she said. 

“Indeed, the rich keep getting rich, while the poor keep getting poorer. What a life!” 

Avery swallowed her tears slowly, which threatened to fall down from her eyes. She couldn't even feel hurt and offensive with her words. 

“Goodbye Avery,” Gianna sneered at her, about to walk away when Avery pulled her back in anger. 

she wasn't done with her. 

“Is funny,” Avery said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. 

“ I doubt Landon is still with you. that man is too smart not to see your true character.” 

Avery said with a mischievous grin. Hoping that would furious her but it didn't. 

Gianna scoffed. 

“You wish, bitch. Landon is still my husband. And luckily, we were later blessed with a male child after you mocked us with a ‘disabled’ baby.” 

Avery burst into laughter at her words and nodded her head. 

“You wish! The doctor made a wrong diagnosis. I tried explaining everything to you but you exploded and walked away before I could.”

Gianna's eyes widened. 

“I didn't deliver a disabled child. I gave birth to triplets.” 

Gianna's eyes widened in shock, her mouth gasping open as she tried to process what she just heard. 

No way. 

She could only hope it wasn't true. 

“You're lying!” Gianna couldn't believe it. No way! 

Her thoughts were going wild at the moment. She hopes it's not what it is. 

“You know I can collect everything back from you right?” 

Avery threatened, walking around her with a smirk on her face. 

Perhaps, it's time for her to destroy Gianna's life and make her suffer, the same way she did to her.

Now it's time to break the unpleasant news, which might send waves of electricity into her body, thereby resulting in fainting. “Remember, we were to do gestational surrogacy, but unfortunately, your genetics weren't compatible with him, and if the doctor had proceeded with it, it would have led to a fall operation.

She had no idea someone was there. “Where are you coming from?” Landon questions his tone with a whisper. He was calm, which reassured Gianna that he hadn't suspected anything. “That's strange and sudden. Are you now interested in my daily affairs?” Gianna was concerned, even though they were a married couple and he had the right to ask her about her whereabouts, it still felt strange to her. All those years of marriage, he had never once cared about her. “I am your husband. Of course ,I have every right to know your daily affairs!” He shrugged at her. His tone was calm and soothing. Which was unlike him. Landon looked at her and shook his head in disappointment. “If you're tire

They had never been on Good terms with her son, so why had she called them? Gianna lost control of herself immediately, she couldn't breathe. She felt suffocated by the sight of the triplets. She was speechless. Their pointed noses, their eyes, everything_ it was the same as Landon, her husband. Gianna forced herself to regain composure, letting out a fake smile before facing them. “That's right!” She murmured with a smile, running her hand through Ella's hair. “Luke actually reported something to me “ Their faces change immediately, shifting from their normal expression to one of disdain “That we bullied him?” Evan questioned and Gianna nodded her head. “But I'm not here to scold any of you.

During the time her mother was too broke to afford it, she hardly made omelette, and even when she did, there was never any meat, no chicken. Nothing. It was always just eggs, fried with butter and vegetables. But today, the story was different . Assuming they didn't make that decision that day, they would still be living in poverty.

Her skin crawled with anger when she realized who Avery was. She was just an ordinary chef, also a commoner, who had no right to do what she just did. “I will kill you alive!!” Gianna wasn't satisfied. She wanted to beat Avery to death right now and right here. She couldn't tolerate the disrespect Avery just showed her. Gianna pushed Avery around the kitchen, and when Avery noticed she might break one or two things in the process of running away from Gianna, she decided to stop running and face Gianna.

Avery had given Landon's number to anora,in case of emergency. And today was that emergency. Anora walked to the receptionist, asking about her friend but the nurses informed her there was no body like that. Especially when she couldn't tell them the ward number, so they assume she was just a stranger hoping to visit a patient. Luckily, she saw Landon walking away and quickly ran to him. *Oh my God!!” “Good day sir!!” Anora couldn't believe her eyes. This was officially her first time seeing Landon. She had always admired him online “Are you anora?” Landon still remembers the name Ava had mentioned during their conversation earlier. “Yes! Yes sir!!* She affirmed quickly. “Please, can you take me to her ward? I need to see my friend!” sobbing sounds came out of her mind when she figured out the triplets look s

Trying to comprehend the words Anora had said to her but all she kept hearing was the triplets. “Kidnapped!!” The words rang in her ears continuously, making her eyes shed tears. Avery wished the ground could just open up and swallow her whole. How would she face Landon, who was giving her questionable gaze? “What's happening Ava, and who's the triplets she was talking about?” Landon questioned. But Avery didn't respond to him, she was trying to gather her strength and then maybe, try to face him. “You seemed very sick.
