"The heavens are really favoring you, since you two had a night together. Shouldn't you be responsible for her?" Mark exclaimed excitedly. "The heavens are not favoring me but toying with me instead" Lucian replied calmly, but his eyes were filled with sadness. "What nonsense are you spouting? Tell me exactly what happened, can't..." "She is already engaged" Lucian had always wished to marry his childhood crush, but as the next heir of the Henderson company, he had to go through a lot of training overseas, and he swore to himself he would confess his love to her and marry her once he returns. Seven years later, Lucian returned, but the table had turned as she was already engaged. Engaged to his stepbrother. Why would she spend the night with Lucian when she was engaged?

Chapter 1 Encounter

Mia woke up slowly from the bed in a daze.

Her mind was cloudy and she was still feeling groggy,her body was achy and sore and most importantly,she was naked under the duvet het body littered with marks and bruises.

"What kind of dream is this?".

She pinched herself and gasped in pain ,the pain made her realize it was reality and not a dream.

The memories from the previous night started flooding in.she had attended her fiance's family company anniversary which was held in one of their newly launched hotel.

Later in the evening,she was enjoying the beautiful view in the garden after the guests dispersed but she suddenly felt dizzy and hot,a staff who was nearby offered to walk her to her room and then this happened.

"Ah.....",she screamed and the man beside her woke up with a start.

"You.. You monster, you must have paid and colluded with the staffs right, bastard am going to sue you", Mia shouted totally enraged but the man was just staring at her unmoving,he appeared lost in thought,his expression alternating between happiness and despair.

"What do you mean?,"which staff?", you were the one that entered my room late at night.besides I was drunk and had no clue of what was happening",the man explained with a cold gaze and she was petrified.

Shuffling backwards,she vaguely remembered entering the room, stripping herself and throwing herself on him.

"It was one of the staffs that brought me here,I was feeling dizzy and she volunteered to walk me back to my room,this is all a misunderstanding,I'm already engaged why would I venture into another man's room",Mia explained incoherently.

Gazing at the man,she felt he looked somewhat familiar and yet distant but she couldn't lay her hands on where they've met before.

"It's okay",he replied softly.

"Okay for you but not for me,how do I explain this to my fiancé,this...am done for ", Mia panicked.

"Then I'll keep it a secret ",he said but there was a tinge of sadness in his voice,her statement was like a cold basin of water poured over him,it slapped him with reality.

"Are..,are you sure"Mia stammered.

"Hundred percent,so from now on I haven't even seen this face before ",he nod and assured her calmly.

"Oh,then thank you very much sir ",Mia said and scrambled to her feet's, gathering all her belongings and hurriedly put on her dress and then left the room not noticing the man who looked so forlorn, sitting in the same position, unmoving just like a statue.

"Hahaha, fate is really unfair to me",he laughed maniacally, sweeping everything on the bedside table away and injuring his arms in the process.

"Lucian",a blonde haired guy rushed in from outside panting heavily."the lady outside just now,is that Mia?".

"Yes, Mark",Lucian replied."it is indeed her".

"The heavens are really favoring you, since you two had a night together. Shouldn't you be responsible for her?" Mark exclaimed excitedly, grinning from ears to ears.

"The heavens are not favoring me but toying with me instead" Lucian replied calmly, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

"What do you mean?,what nonsense are you spouting? Tell me exactly what happened, can't..."

"She is already engaged, engaged to Leonard",Lucian replied before Mark could finish his sentence and he walked straight into the bathroom slamming the door shut.

"Holy shit", Mark punched the cushion in disappointment."fate is really, really unfair, perhaps it's all for the good",he shrugged.

After several minutes Lucian emerged from the bathroom decked in a casual leopard print shirt and black pants.

"Let's go downstairs",Lucian said to Mark."grandfather's waiting for us".

"You sure you want to go?", Mark asked arching a brow."won't you feel all riled up if you see her again".

"Meeting her is inevitable,if I avoid it today,I won't be able to get away always", Lucian replied.

"But yo. . "

"I'm fine, yeah I loved her but I was too late,she deserves better,and it's all for the best I can't imagine the two of us fighting over her", Lucian smiled somewhat ruefully.

"Then you're not going to tell her?", Mark asked.

"No", Lucian replied."it's of no use,she'll only feel bad and burdened,she doesn't even recognize me, it's better she doesn't find out,well I've been holding on for over a decade,I guess it's time to let go", Lucian replied thoughtfully.

"And you?", Mark asked.

"Am good as long as you're by my side", Lucian replied."co'mmon let's go".

They started towards the door,then Lucian suddenly stopped.

"Get the footage of yesterday's events, from Mia's speech I guess she was set up by someone", Lucian ordered.

"Sure", Mark noded.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

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 sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
