Nightmare Of My Dreams

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.

The alarm rang.

The little figure on the bed kept tossing back and forth covering her ears before she finally stopped the alarm.

"Haa. Why does mom always have to set this alarm for me and why does it have to be so loud." Bella said finally cleaning her eyes and taking the alarm to inspect it.

"This is a new alarm. Am very sure of this, I spoilt the last one mom bought and now she bought this again. If I can remember vividly the last one I spoilt was dark green and now this is light green." Bella raised the alarm to smash it on the floor but froze in place after seeing the shadow standing in front of her.

"Bella smith what do you think you are doing?" Mrs smith asked with hands akimbo.

Mom..I...I promise it's not what you are thinking, I didn't want to break it I just wanted to examine it cause it's very pretty.

"Oh! So it's very pretty." Mrs smith said pulling Bella's ear.

"Aww aww aww Mom." It hurts.

"Get up now." Mrs smith said pushing Bella in the direction of the bathroom.

"Ok, ok. Mom, it's fine I'll go have my bath. " I was about to enter the bathroom and stopped in my tracks and turned back to meet my mom still staring at me. Bella ran to hug her mom and began sobbing.

"Thank you, mom. Thank you so much mom for everything. You are the best mom ever I love you."

"What's that now dolly, how many times have I told you not to ever cry?"

"I can't help it, mom. You have always been there for me ever since dad died. I love you." Bella said tightening her grip on her mom's waist.

"Stop it now! Go and have your bathe, I'll get the table ready and come down soon. Don't you dare go back to sleep?" Mrs smith said leaving Bella's room.

"I know you think about him everyday mom, I know how much you miss him." Bella smiled to herself subconsciously. You and dad had such a beautiful love story and understanding, I wonder why mine is different.

Beep beep

Her phone vibrated indicating a message.

Bella walked to the edge of her bed and took her phone. She read the content in it and laughed sarcastically.

Haa haa

"I knew this was going to happen, I expected it but not this early." Bella looked at the time and screamed.

"OMG." How could I have forgotten that I have to visit my NGO today and even my doctor? This is so frustrating, how could I allow myself to sleep like a log?

Bella ran to the bathroom and came out after thirty minutes. She wore blue jeans and a black blouse. She dried and styled her hair in a ponytail and wore black heels.

"I think I look good enough. Oh! My watch and necklace." Bella wore her watch and necklace and applied lip gloss.

"Now am set to meet my angels."

Beep Beep. Bella's phone rang.

She took her phone and saw the id caller before picking up.

How are you doing Nancy? Am fine and you?. Mom is fine. No, don't come, meet me at the NGO. He broke up with me.

What! How could he do that? Who the hell does he think he is I swear I will beat him up and send his boxers to his mother. Nancy said from the other end.

We will talk later sweetheart, bye.

Bye. Nancy said before hanging up.
