Whispers of Faith

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.

CHAPTER ONE

Please welcome a young visionary whose fast-growing company is taking over Geneva…. Laura Hale!” An elegant reporter announced, And everybody clapped with a hand of a plus.

A young beautiful business lady smiles at the camera. “Thank you, Lilith, you are making me blush” Laura smiled at her wonderfully.

“ Ah, flattering the Hale’s heiress. I can’t think of a better way to spend this Friday night” Lilith teased.

“ You truly are something Lilith” Laura was amazed.

“ So, tell us, Laura. Are the rumors true?” Lilith was back to business.

“The rumors?, Which rumors are you talking about?” Laura was confused.

“The tabloids say you have a mysterious secret about the Hale family. Do you mind telling us whether you are the true heiress of the Hales Enterprise or not?” Lilith was curious.

“Oh Lilith, I will never take you for a gossipy type!” Laura brushed it off.

“We all just want to know, Laura. Tell us about your secrets, did the Hale family adopt you?” Lilith insists.

“Well, there’s actually no secrets at all, not the one I know of….?” Laura was plain.

Meanwhile, bag stage….

“what is she talking about?!, This is a big disaster. That means Miss Laura hasn’t heard about all the rumors that have been spreading around, oh God this is bad” Josephine cursed out loud.

“I don’t think we are in the right position to tell the boss that her sister Meredith is dragging her name to the mud, it might only cause more harm than good.” Daniel was worried too.

“I know, I know. You’re right” Josephine agreed with Daniel. “ but this is really bad news for her. Upon all the hard work to keep this Enterprise growing, they just want to frustrate her just like that” Josephine was disturbed.

“Yeah, these will really break her down when it comes to her notice. She will be so worried to know she isn’t likable enough by the family she thinks she has” It was Daniel who cursed.

“Why would anyone on Earth not like a wonderful and hard-working lady like Miss Laura, who on their right mind would even choose Meredith over her?” Josephine cried out.

“Josephine, forget the rumors that she’s not a legitimate child, that is not the point because it doesn’t count. She can still be the CEO of this Enterprise even if that was the case… I’m curious, there must be something else to it!” Daniel said.

For some time, Laura escaped the interview she had. walking towards her office

“Josephine, do I actually have a free evening? No meetings or interviews ?” Laura asked packing some files on her table.

“Well ma’am, Mr. George calls you all day… and you also have a meeting with the producer” Josephine quickly replied, still standing in front of her boss lady.

“Is this the same George from last time!?” Laura asked still concentrating on a file.
