A Fulfilled Promise of Mr CEO

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.

Adrian’s POV

I am Alexandrian Romano. A well-known successful businessman and known for being a good man. There was also a rumor that I am having an affair with my personal assistant. But, it’s just a rumor.

Women say that my facial features were almost beautiful. My sharp eyes are deep and expressive like an eagle. And my lips are luscious as if inviting for a kiss. With a muscular body that looks perfectly on black pants made of expensive fabric and a suit made by a well-known brand, I am indeed a dashing six feet bachelor.

“What is my schedule today?” I asked Mary Ann, my personal assistant.

“Sir, today you’re going to interview the applicants for my position,” Mary Ann responded.

“When is your last day?” I asked as we enter the lift.

“In two months, sir,” she answered back.

“Hopefully, we can get someone who would be worthy to be your replacement,” I said with a shake of my head.

“I’m sure there is,” Mary Ann said.

“You are so confident to answer me, you truly want to leave me,” I replied and gave her a pleading look.

She scoffed. “Don’t tell me that you don’t understand the purpose of my living?”

“I know! You are getting old, and you want a family,” I said, and we laughed. “Am I younger than you?”

The woman shook her head. “No, I am older than you.”

We went straight to my office without looking at the long line of the applicants in the hallway. I sat on my chair and pressed the intercom to speak. I told my secretary to bring me coffee. When she came in, I instructed her to call the first applicant for an interview.

Mary Ann was my personal assistant since I became the CEO of Romano Corporation. She’s been with me for six years, and she’s like a big sister to me. Now, she’s resigning because she got engaged with my best friend, John.

John is only one year older than me and the same age as Mary Ann. He courted Mary Ann for more than a year. And after three years of being in a relationship, they decided to get married.

Now, Alexandrian, the CEO of Romano Corporation, has to find a new personal assistant to fill all Mary Ann’s duties.
