My first love who betrayed me

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.

“Dave, Dave please hear me out.”

“Dave!” Jessica was desperately calling out Dave to sort things out between them as she was in disbelief that he had broken up with her.

She was screaming his name loudly with tears running down her cheeks making her face swollen. They loved each other so much and she wondered what went wrong as to why Dave turned so cold towards her.

“Dave please.” She pleaded already exhausted as she didn't hear or see Dave.

She was restricted from coming to the Johnson's mansion by his cruel mother.

Though her mother still works there, she was not allowed to come near their house ever again.

All this was too much for Jessica as she was getting weak already but still insisted on staying to see him one last time.

It was as though the heavens had finally answered her dying wish as she heard the sound of Dave's car from their main gate driving inside their compound and to her greatest surprise ever, she felt betrayed and all the words Dave said to her that day were coming true.

She saw Dave and Ivy come out like they were a loving couple, laughing and holding hands together as they made their way to the mansion.

Jessica decided to use the opportunity to call Dave's attention.

“Dave! Dave!”

Dave turned to see who was shouting his name at that time and saw that it was Jessica. He excused himself from Ivy to go talk to her.

Jessica, already happy that her love was finally coming to speak with her, could see the disdain on his face as he approached her.

“What Jessica! Or don't you know it's past bedtime.”

Jessica was shocked at the tone Dave was using on her but went ahead to talk to him.

“Dave, you left me with no other choice. What did I ever do to you to deserve this type of treatment Dave?”

“Everything! Everything. You know for one minute Jess, I think my mum is right about you. You're just a poor little girl looking for attention and love in places you do not deserve it. Leave me the hell alone Jessica. Please! get out of my life.” He said and left.

The words hit Jessica so hard like a rock that she held her chest so tight crying uncontrollably. It really got her this time and she couldn't believe that Dave Johnson would do that to her.

All the years together were wasted and it dawned on her that she had lost Dave forever.

He didn't give her the chance to say what she came to say as he dropped more heartbreaking words to her.

“I'll never forgive you Dave, I'll never.” She said crying uncontrollably holding her tummy with both hands.

Dave and Jessica were childhood sweethearts and loved each other since they were little but now she has to grow up as reality is already dawning on her.
