"Damn it," Clayton cursed softly, walking a few paces away from Anna.

"Did you lie about the contract? Are you in more debt than you told me about?" Anna whispered.

"Hey, what are you guys doing over there? Come celebrate," Nat called.

Anna smiled and replied, "We'll be with you soon."

"Anna, it's really nothing," Clayton insisted.

"Then tell me," Anna responded, sighing in frustration.

"Okay, so, humm, I know you are going to mention the fact that judging by the amount you've pulled in by the bid, we should be done with Michael, right?" Clayton asked.

"Yes, but that is not what I was asking you. I want to know what exactly you're hiding." Anna responded.

Before Clayton could reply, Felix and Dali hurried up to their side and pulled them by the arm.

"We want to take pictures; let's all get in the frame," Dali said in excitement.

"We are not done with this, okay?" Anna quickly whispered.

Clayton shrugged, forcing a smile as they took the pictures. At that moment, Michael walked into th

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: The Triplet’s Revenge    Saved You

    David stood there panting as the sky darkened again and lightning struck, casting a brief glow of white on his face.His eyes were bloodshot, glaring fire and brimstone at everyone staring at him."David," Anna called, her voice small and weak.David turned to her and said, "It was all his fault; he took you like you were nothing and offered money like you were just some commodity."Simon took a step forward, but Steve stopped him, placing a hand on his rigid shoulder."Simon, don't. I know right now you're filled with rage, but don't. Think of the triplets; we have no idea who is behind it yet." Steve whispered."You are behind the accident?" Anna asked, her face white like a ghost.David raked a hand through his hair and shouted in frustration as he walked backward a few steps."If you had stayed dead, none of this would be happening, the kids wouldn't be missing, and Anna wouldn't be in this pain." David shouted, pointing at Simon."Did you cause the accident?" Sophia asked, both h

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: The Triplet’s Revenge    Stayed Dead

    "The kids? Where?" Simon asked, his voice going frozen with fear."I have no idea; I have no idea Simon, where are my kids?" Anna asked.Sophia, Mia, and Noah all looked at Steve, who only shook his head in response to them."What happened?" Simon asked, looking up at Clayton and Nat.When they didn't answer immediately, he barked again, "What f*king happened?""They were right there in front of the house just as we were planning to head out," Nat stated."And then?" Steve asked."Suddenly they were gone, not a sign, not one sound." Nat continued."Then the letter—it clearly states in the letter," Anna said.Simon pulled her up, and Sophia walked over to them and took her away to sit down."What does it say?" Simon asked as he took the letter."It was dropped on the sidewalk; we have asked around, and no one saw anything." Gideon responded.Simon glanced through the letter, his eyes widening in anger. He turned to Steve and handed over the letter to him."Don't we need to call the poli

    Anna read the text, stood up from the desk, and said, "I'll see you guys at home.""Where are you going?" Clayton asked."To solve a case." Anna responded, smiling at them as she walked to the door.Everything was falling into place one piece at a time; all that was left now was to find out the monster behind that night.Anna knew she could no longer hold Simon in contempt. Looking into the fraud after their confrontation was a huge step for her.When she walked out of the lobby, she headed out the gate and hailed a cab. She gave the driver the address Simon had sent to her.He was standing outside just as he had said he would in his text message when she got there."What's the status?" Anna asked as he showed her into the basement."An expert is needed; that's all my team tells me." Simon replied.They got to the elevator, and Simon pressed the button calling for it."Thanks for coming, Anna; it means a lot."Anna nodded, knowing his trust in her words to check out the fraud was one o

    "Oh please, whatever bombshell you have is not something more shocking than the one that just exploded in our faces." Noah snapped, looking really pissed."The court date has been moved up," Paul said, disregarding Noah's words."Why?" Simon asked."Citing reasons that you might be involved in some plotting." Paul responded."Well, meaning we need to wrap all these up quickly then." Simon responded."I am highly disappointed in you, Paul." Noah shouted, surprising everyone in the room.All eyes turned to him as they watched him address Paul in anger."For all these years I have put up with your inferiority complex, your plotting to get the good deals for yourself even while Father was alive." Noah shouted in frustration.Simon was amused to see his father lose his cool; it rarely happened, and when it did, it was not good."Oh, you want to talk about that now? Do you really want to talk about it?" Paul asked."What is there to talk about other than the fact that Gideon pulled the act o

    "Are you going to speak at some point?" Anna murmured at Nat's hesitation."It is David, and he is insisting on seeing you." Nat replied. "Did he say why?" Simon asked from behind."I don't see how that concerns you." Anna said.She glanced over at Simon, raising a brow at him at his question. There was no point in him asking that.He simply shrugged while staring back at Nat to respond to him."No, he did not, but I think it would be wise to come speak with him." Nat advised.Ana saw a hesitation in her eyes again and decided she had better go attend to him."I'll be back for the kids," Anna said to Simon."I could just have them come over tomorrow morning." Simon said after Anna.She didn't give him a response, as there was no need to. They walked out the back gate and headed straight to the house."I'll leave you two." Nat said, hurrying past Anna as soon as they saw David.Anna nodded, walking more slowly, trying to put her thoughts together as she approached him."Anna," David sa

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: The Triplet’s Revenge    Seeing You

    By the time they got downstairs, the kids were nowhere to be seen, while outside they heard the sound of footsteps walking towards the door."You were expecting guests, and you asked the kids to come over?" Anna asked, looking pissed."Look for them while I sort out whoever is at the door." Simon called, walking towards the door.Anna checked the backyard, but it was empty. The rain had reduced, which meant they could go now.As she turned to go check upstairs, Simon opened the door, and that was when she saw them."Mom? What are you doing here?" Simon asked.Anna froze; for a minute she could not breathe as she stared at the woman she had not seen in so many years."I asked your father to bring me, and then Sophia insisted on coming, and then the rest is history." Mia replied.Her eyes roamed Simon and then landed on the dirty shirt he still had on, widening in shock at it."What is that? You have one?" Mia asked."It's nothing, just stained from…" Simon responded, trailing off as sh
