Chapter 1 The Billionaire's Tragedy

It was a rainy day filled with so much emotions as Marcus Thompson stood at the window of his office looking through the skyscraper building as his mind was consumed with the tragic death of his fourth wife Elizabeth.

The sound of shattering glass echoed through the room as Marcus's hands slammed into the windowpane. He didn't flinch, his eyes glued to the city below. The lights of the skyscrapers twinkled like stars, a cruel reminder of the life he had built for himself .

Marcus immediately has a flash back about his beloved wife Elizabeth, she was a beautiful woman with a green piercing eyes they had met at a fundraiser night and Marcus was drawn to her whole beauty in all ramification. Their marriage has been a whirlwind romance, with Marcus sparing no expense to make Elizabeth happy at all cost.

Elizabeth had died under mysterious circumstances, her body found at the bottom of the stairs in their mansion. The police had ruled it to an accident, but Marcus knew better He had enemies, many of whom would stop at nothing to destroy him at all cost.

As Marcus stood in his office filled with the taught of Elizabeth the door to his office opened and behold it was the voice of his loyal assistant Sharon as she walked in "Marcus, I'm so sorry to disturb you, but there's someone here to see you.

Marcus turned, his eyes still lost in thought "Who is it?"

Sharon hesitated before answering "It's Sophia's nanny. She's been trying to reach you all day."

Immediately Marcus heard Sophia's name his expression changed as it was only Sophia he has in the world and he knows she is the only one that don't want anything from him .

"Send her in," Marcus said, his voice a little softer.

Sharon nodded and stepped aside, allowing the nanny to enter. Marcus watched as she walked into the room, her eyes fixed on him with a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

"Mr. Thompson," she said, her voice firm but very respectful. "I've been trying to reach out to you all day. Sophia your daughter is getting really anxious She needs to see you."

Marcus feeling guilty about how he had been caught in his own grief which made him forget their child need.

"I'll be right there," he said, his voice a little softer this time.

The nanny nodded and turned to leave, but Marcus stopped her. "Wait," he said, his eyes narrowing. "I wasn't aware that you were planning on leaving today."as he was earlier today by Sharon his loyal assistant

The nanny turned back to him, in a hint of surprise in her eyes. "My mother is ill, and I need to care for her," she explained.

Marcus nodded sympathetically. "I'm sorry to hear about that. Please, take care of your mother my regards."

Mr Thompson still sober brought out a glass cup filled it with some brandy as he stirs at the beautiful artistic painting of he's deceased wife right in front of him

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
