IN LOVE WITH MY ONE NIGHT STAND

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

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.

"Why did you ask me to meet you here?" Heather asked Helena as she stared at the figure in her sight.

"Lovely sister,you just arrived and you are going straight to the point. Be calm and let's have some fun." Helena said to her as she drank from her cup.

"Cut the crap. I know you didn't call me out just to have fun." Heather said while rolling her eyes.

She really didn't want to be here. She was meant to be out there trying to raise money for her sick mom.

"I know your mother is sick and you need money. In fact,you are desperate for money and I have just the right job for you." Helena said twirling her glass in her hands.

Heather eyes lit up hearing her but it soon went back to normal. The Helena she knows would never help her.

"Why do you want to help me and why do I have to trust you?" Heather asked obviously wary about such an enticing offer.

"I knew you would ask me but it's really not me who wants to help you but my mom. She took pity on you and asked me to help you. She knows you won't accept her money." Helena said as she glanced at her with a mischievous smile.

"Why does she wants to help me? I know she detests me and my mom." Heather said while folding her arms.

"I don't know why but I guess this is the least my mom and I could do after taking Herr husband and your dad." Helena said innocently.

Heather almost flipped listening to her self-righteous statement. She took a deep breath before asking,

"What do you want me to do?"

"I only need you to attend a banquet with me. The pay is quite high and it would be more than enough to pay your mother's treatment." Helena said knowing fully well that Heather would accept.

Her mother was her weakness.Heather accepted it without giving it a thought.

"That's awesome. You made the right choice but please you won't be able to attend the banquet dressed like that." Helena said with slight disdain and mockery.

Heather frowned hearing what she said. She actually felt that what Helena said was right. She agreed to Helena for the first time in their lives.

"Thankfully,I knew you would come dressed like a countryside bumpkin so I prepared a dress for you. You can change in the bathroom." Helena said passing a bag to her.

Heather walked in the direction of the bathroom and failed to see the sinister smile on Helena's lips. Helena smirked as she watched her entering the bathroom.

"Soon,you will be destroyed Heather." Helena chuckled darkly.

Heather came out a few minutes all dressed up and Helena's eyes showed jealousy which she didn't bother to hide.

Heather was to beautiful to ignore. In spite of all the times Helena had gone under the knife,she still couldn't be compared to Heather. Heather was really beautiful.

Normally, Helena is a beautiful lady but once Heather is placed in the room,she outshines her.

Helena gritted her teeth before saying,

"Let me do your makeup and your hair."

Heather sat down and in no time,they were done and prepared to leave for the party which was holding in the hotel they were both at.

"The banquet is taking place at this hotel and I would implore you to behave yourself." Helena warned. Heather rolled her eyes at her.

"Do I look like a child to you?" Heather asked sarcastically.

They both walked into the large hall and all eyes turned to them but the eyes were mostly focused on Heather.

On seeing that, Helena folded her fists tightly. She took a deep breath so as not to foil her plans.

"Let's go to the bar." Helena said dragging Heather along. Heather allowed herself to be dragged because she really felt uncomfortable being stared at by the sleazy old men.

"Just follow my lead and remember, I'm paying you. Your mother needs it." Helena reminded her.

The party went on smoothly and many young men had come to make small talks with Helena and at the same time leered at Heather.

Heather took a glass of wine to calm her anxious mind when a server approached them. Helena let out a smirk seeing her take the wine.

Heather felt weird immediately but it was only for a short time. They continued entertaining people.
