Chapter 9: Scared

Chapter 9 Scared

"Despite how I tried to be low-key, it still got into everyone's ears that White Tigress is back. Thankfully, I did put on my Tigress mask or else..." Tinsley left the words hanging as she doesn't want people to recognize her yet and with a happy sigh she scrolled through the social media page.

She began to like celebrities' posts who wished her a hearty welcome with a smile.

Tinsley's smile soon wiped off as she stopped on a certain post; Lillee William of all people had also welcomed White Tigress on social media.

Rory walked over when she saw Tinsley looking absentminded at her phone, "Did you see that bi…." Rory immediately covered her lips when she realized that she almost said 'bitch' in front of the triplet. "Oops, I almost let it out in front of the kids," Rory said while smacking her own head.

Tinsley snapped out of her absentmindedness. "It's hilarious that she never changed all these years. Look at that fake gentle act. I wonder how much shock she'd accumulate when she discovered who White Tigress is." Tinsley suddenly said, which made Rory turn to her in shock.

"You… Will you be revealing your face?" Rory asked in shock and disbelief.

"Yes, it's time. I've been anonymous for years, and it's time to reveal White Tigress's identity."

Tinsley immediately stood up and picked up the kids whose eyes were glued to the television without paying attention to the gobsmacked Rory.

"Alright kids, it's time to sleep," Tinsley said and turned off the television which made the triplet pout in unwillingness.

"Mom, the cartoon hasn't ended yet." Mason pointed out unhappily.

"I know. You'll watch it tomorrow, okay? Come on." Tinsley replied and led them to the arranged room.

"Have you thought about the school you'll be settling the Triplets in?" Rory asked behind Tinsley, and she shook her head in denial.

"Not yet. We haven't found a place to settle in Ryle." She replied.

Rory frowned angrily, "What do you mean you haven't settled in…"

Tinsley nodded, unknown to her that Rory was frowning at her words, "We can only stay at your place for the meantime until we buy our..."

"Nonsense! Who said so?" Rory roared in anger. "It's better for you to stay here, so I can watch over the Triplets when the casting is going on," Rory informed, which made Tinsley nod at the idea.

She wasn't the type to leave her Triplets at home, but she was going to be busy soon because of the drama, and she couldn't put everything in charge of the triplet's nanny but if the kids stayed with Rory, she'd be more relieved.

"Yes, that's a good idea. I'm going to owe you now." Tinsley said, which made Rory smack her in the head.

"What do you mean you'll owe me? If not for you, I'd have committed suicide over that jerk, missing all this wonderful thing, so don't ever say that again." Rory warned angrily, which made Tinsley nod innocently.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," Tinsley said with a slight chuckle, and before she could settle in her seat, six beautiful eyes stared at her.

"Mom. Read me a bedtime story." Ariel demanded.

"Mom, I want to listen to a bedtime story too," Mason said while stretching his hand for Tinsley to carry him.

"Mom, I also want to…" Jason came to a stop when he realized that adults should read bedtime stories themselves and not the mom. With that thought, he immediately returned to the room with a pout.

"Alright, I will," Tinsley said and carried Mason.

Rory bent down to carry Ariel, "Jason is funny." She commented with a chuckle and followed Tinsley into the kids' room.

Since their appearance had caught Rory by surprise, the kids could only make do with three separate beds until they designed their respective rooms for them.

"What tale do you want to listen to?" Tinsley asked the little children.

After a few minutes, Tinsley walked out of the bedroom, the Triplets now fast asleep.

Tinsley and Rory pushed their phone away and decided to catch up, "That person did you meet him on your return?" Tinsley asked about Rory's ex.

Rory nods her head with a wicked smirk. "He broke up with her and wants me back. What the hell? You know what I do?" Rory asked sinisterly and Tinsley nodded quickly.

"I made the bastard pursue me for three months before getting rid of him in the most sinister way possible. You should look at his face, he thought I was going to accept his proposal not knowing I'll be kissing another guy right in front of him. Did he remember how well I begged him that time? I almost commit suicide if you never appeared." Rory explained which made Tinsley hold her hand in order to comfort her.

"Let's talk about you now. You're back in Ryle's country which means you may come across the Triplets father. You have hidden it from them for years, what are you going to do?" Rory asked.

Tinsley ruffled her head feeling overwhelmed, "I don't know. I'm afraid that he'd think I approach him because I want to use his money or something. It's so confusing." She commented with a sigh.

Rory took hold of Tinsley's hand, "But you've built your own reputation, there's nothing to use in his money." She said, which made Tinsley stand up with a sigh.

"I'm afraid of going over to him. Can you imagine me popping up to someone who I only met once just to tell him I have his kids after a one-night stand? I can imagine him breaking my leg and throwing me out of his office."

"Stop being so dramatic," Rory said. She believed that whoever the person is, he'd be happy to have the wonderful triplet as a kid rather than the scene Tinsley kept envisioning. "Tell me who the person is, and I'll schedule a meeting and explain everything to…"

Tinsley immediately shook her head fearfully upon remembering Jarek's serious expression, "No. Don't worry. I can handle my kids. There's no need for him to know." She finalized, which made Rory sighed in unhappiness.

"You're being unfair to both of them. Put yourself in their position." Rory stated with a sigh, but Tinsley's decision was made up.

Tinsley stood up with a yawn which put an end to the conversation. "I want to sleep. Goodnight." Tinsley says with a yawn and walks to the bathroom to shower, unknown to her that her actions were causing a hot discussion on social media.
