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.

"July 17, 2016, evening.

The third day we arrived near Iceland.

Ryan carried out a radar search in the captain's office, but still couldn't find the Merman.I really doubt if the Merman can survive in such cold water, but Ryan insists that he had searched for traces of Merman here last year.

According to the record, the Merman is a tropical creature, but I don't want to let it go.

I'm so eager to see a real Merman.

I hope my nickname can continue the exploration of this mysterious creature that the great biology hasn't completed yet. "

I wrote it down in my diary and looked at the round window of the cabin for some reason.

It was dark outside. I could only see the warm reflection of the lamp on the window and my thin outline in the reflection.With black hair, black eyes and pale face, he looked like a drug addict.

I smiled.Ryan said that sometimes I was as stubborn as a madman. Maybe it was true.

When I wrote down this sentence, the tip of the pen suddenly scratched the paper because of a sudden restlessness. At this moment, there was a scream outside.

“Raymond！Come out! There is something under the water! "

My hands trembled violently, and my body reacted more quickly than my mind. I rushed to the captain's office with a big stride. Coincidentally, I bumped into Ryan who just walked out. He opened his arms and hugged me fiercely. Pointing at the screen of the deep-sea camera monitor, he said excitedly, "look, I said there was a Merman here. You should have believed me earlier!"

I opened my eyes wide and when my eyes were focused on the moving shadow on the screen, I lost my breath for a moment.It was an incomparably clear curvy outline, which was obviously different from that of a shark or a dolphin. There was no fish fin on both sides of his upper body, but two pairs of open, human like legs.

It was indeed a Merman.

"Hurry up!Ryan, what are you waiting for? "

I almost jumped up as if I just woke up from a dream. I punched Ryan on his chest, but he grabbed my wrist and laughed. "Do you think I'm as stupid as you?This Merman has been bewitched by our shark scent. Otherwise, why don't you think it will run away? "

"You bastard!"

I immediately rushed to the deck like lightning and saw the sailors on the ship changed their equipment and dived down, spreading the net under the water.There were night lights floating on the fishing net. When they scattered on the sea, they were like stars scattered in the sky.They disappeared under the undulating sea as the sailor dived. My heart sank and my nerves were as tense as being suppressed by the water pressure.

This would be one of the most astonishing discovery in the history of human beings.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stiff my back. I stood on tiptoe on the Merman. I wished I could dive down with those sailors and bring the man up.

"Relax. Don't fall into the water!"

Ryan snickered behind me, and my calves were held tightly by his hands. I was so scared that I almost agreed to his joke. My body fell forward, and he grabbed the back collar quickly. The two of them fell on the deck.My buttocks almost pressed on his face.Fortunately, I'm not heavy, or I'll have to break his proud nose.

"Dude, why are you so eager to kiss me?"

I moved my body and got up. I squinted at him and smiled mischievously.Ryan casually leaned against the deck and grinned, "from a biological point of view, the buttocks have a good shape and taste good. This is another great discovery besides the Merman tonight."

"Your knees are also hard."I kicked him on his knees, revealing his white teeth.

The next second, the splash under the ship immediately took all my attention.I squatted down beside the ship and watched the sailors pull up the fishing net and put it on the hanger.The fishing net was entangled with a clear wet outline, twisting his body like a captured shark.

When the hook was lifted up, his long tail came out of the fishing net and fell in a beautiful arc.

The only Merman that had been found in human history was a Merman with a magenta tail in India. But this one was different. His tail was black, but not completely black.

Due to the reflection of the water, a ray of cold blue appeared, like the center of the fireworks, but the tip of the blue was a little red, which was shocking like blood on a sharp blade.
