Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance
I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.“Five billion dollars going once, ”
“Five billion dollars going twice, ”
“Five billion dollars going thrice, ”
“Sold!”

It was cold... the air feels as if it is sipping deep inside my skin. I wonder why it feels like this. I tried to move but in my luck, I was chained for the reason that I am not sure of. My hands… it is tied from the back. My knees are bending as it feels the coldness of the ground I am sitting on.
Where am I? Why am I here?
I didn't find any answer about my question.
Somehow, pair of hands then touches me. It grabs me without even thinking whether I would be hurt or not. It seems like that person didn't care about any of it.
“Hmm!!“
Ahh!
I shouted, surprised on how the blinds was suddenly removed from my eyes.
The crowd keeps cheering. It became louder and louder as it echoed in my ears. It was like they saw some good thing. I was overwhelmed by the light that is why I narrowed my eyes just to adjust my vision and there… I saw how a thick pole welcomed me together with countless numbers of people cheering from afar. There are many of them.
”Woooaahhh“
”Wahhhhhhh“
”I want her!“
”So gorgeous!!“
”Damn that was crazy“
”Just the first part yet it is like this?“
”Wonderful, I will be bidding for her“
I can't tell where I should look, countless eyes are staring at me as if they wanted to engulf me whole. The way they look, I hate it. I don't know where I should land my sight but the only thing I know is that… I am trapped inside a cage that is a hundred times bigger than the cage they use to trap a bird.
My eyes wide open in realisation. My clothes are different to the one I am wearing when I came with Aunt Estrella. This dress is thinner than the thinnest cloth I ever had in the house! If my grandmother would see me looking like this, surely… she wouldn't like this! My skin is visible as if this cloth is made up of net or sort. Luckily the one around my chest down to my legs are slightly thicker but the way I am dressed up, it makes me sick out of humiliation.
I closed my eyes trying to calm myself as I tried to cover this chest of mine but failed.
”My, my, no need to be so energetic. As the first item of our real evening's event, let's start our bid at the price of ten million dollars“
Another sound of the crowd cheering was heard.
What a large sum of money. Even father didn't have a chance holding a money that is tenth of that value she had said. I look down.
Am I really being sold?
”Number one hundred fifty, twenty five million dollars!“
”Stealed by number sixty five for twenty six million dollars!“
Why are they even bidding such a large sum of money? Just to… Buy me? How… how did it even came to this?
”One hundred million dollars for number eighty nine!“
