The Bond of Young Love

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.

Billy came back to China immediately he received the news of his parents’ death. He is the only child of his parents and the second generation heir to Tiaz groups, a multi Billionaire company in China and abroad. Ever since he was five, his grandfather wanted him to take over the company.

"Young master" Ray, one of the most trusted men in Tiaz groups, called and approached Billy at the arrivals. He immediately collected Billy's bag. A black BMW car was parked in front of Billy, Ray opened the car door for Billy and Billy entered the car then the car went off.

Billy got to Tiau family house and saw his grandfather and aunt with his cousin Gu Min and also some of the Tiau family members, everyone was putting on gloomy faces.

"Tiau San, come to grandfather" Billy's grandfather called his Chinese name when he saw that Billy arrived. "I’m sorry grandson, I could not protect your father and mother" the old man wiped.

"it's not your fault grandfather" Billy said and looked at his grandfather helplessly.

"Poor boy, he did not even enjoy the company of his parents before they died" Billy's aunt, Tiau Zi said in a low voice but enough for everyone to hear.

"Tiau Zi, if you don't know what to say just keep your mouth shut" Billy's grandfather shout at his daughter with anger. Tiau Zi is the only elder sister to Billy's father, Tiau Zu.

"Father, I am only pitying the poor boy since his still young and only gets to see his parents every new year" Tiau Zi said mockingly.

“If you don't know what to say just go back to your husband's house" the old man roared at her. Tiau Zi become scared and could not say anything again.

Billy did not get angry at what his aunt said, because he already knew that his father and aunt were not close to each other even though they are sliblings.

"Grandfather," Billy called his grandfather after some time, " I’d like to see Mom and Dad" Billy said looking determined.

"Will you be okay seeing them?" Billy's grandfather looked at Billy pitifully.

"Yes, grandfather" Billy replied with a straight face.

Ray drove Billy to the hospital where Billy's parents corpse were kept. When Billy see his parent's corpse, he felt sad. He remembered how excited he was when they told him that they would all go for vacation in the coming year, tears wiped down on his face.

"Young master, are you alright?" Ray asked with concern when he saw that. Billy quickly cleaned his face and pretended to be strong. He has been taught not to show his weakness to others even though he was still young.

"Dad, Mom, I will expose whoever is behind your accident" Billy said in his mind. He knew that it was not just an accident, but he did not know who could have done such thing.

The next day, Billy's parent were buried, that night Billy's grandfather called him to talk to him.

"Tiau San, I know your parents are gone and you must need time to recover from the grief. But you know that the company also needs you" Billy's grandfather paused and continued, "Since your father died, the company has been affected a lot and I’m too old to handle all the things by myself. I need you to take over the company. I can not let your aunt or cousin take over the company" Billy's grandfather said and looked at Billy expectedly.
