Viola
I walked back home briskly because I couldn't wait to tell Nina and Jenna the whole truth. I've kept this from them for six years since I moved to Los Angeles, and I knew it wouldn't be easy for them, but I had to try. I kept secrets from Kade and that ruined my life.
Though I wouldn't say I made the same mistake as Rick, since I told him that my past was something I couldn't talk about, he still didn't mind. Yet, now that we're getting married, I had to tell him.
I jolted when I noticed something like a flashlight in my direction as someone took a picture of me. I looked at the street, it was busy and honestly, if anyone truly took a picture of me, I wouldn't be able to pinpoint the person. I was probably just paranoid. I'll go home, get a good bath, eat and then tell my friends about my past, or should I tell them first before I take a bath and relax?
" Who's there?!" I heard Nina's delicate voice say, and I just rang the doorbell aggressively before she opened the door with a sigh and said, "Sheesh, Jean you're big on aggression these days..." She said and I smiled at her.
" Hello to you too," I said as I entered the house and took off my shoes. The place was in total disarray and Nina looked at me as if to say, "I didn't do it."
" Jenna!" I called out, and she ran down the stairs and hugged me. She smelled of alcohol and that only made me madder at her.
" Seriously Jen..., I didn't invite you to my house to get drunk all day." I scolded, and she pouted and frowned at me while I scoffed. With a small figure and a pretty face like hers, one wouldn't believe she was thirty-two years old - especially with her immature behavior lately. Was her breakup with Frank THAT BAD?
" I was in the kitchen making you dinner, and you just spoiled my mood." She sulked and I raised a brow at her.
" How about you start by dealing with the mess you made in my sitting room if you don't want MY mood to get sour as well," I said dryly and she sighed.
" I guess you're on kitchen duty then Nina," Jenna said, and Nina glared at her.
" Well, how do you expect me to cook AND fix up the mess I made?!" She said before she hiccuped and stared at Nina, who just rolled her eyes and said, "Just go to the kitchen, you're only good for cooking."
" What does that mean?"
" It means that you'll only mess up the place even more, so go!" Nina said and Jenna made a face before she walked away.
" How was work today?" Nina asked as she started removing Jenna's clothes lying on the floor.
" It was cool..." I said, realizing that I would have to tell Nina and Jenna my secret anytime now. And it didn't help that Jenna was drunk.
" Sure it was... You and Rick must've worked hard today", she teased, and I sighed.
" Okay, you make it look like all I do is have sex with Rick at work," I said nervously, and she stopped what she was doing and sat with me on the couch.
" What's wrong?" She asked and I sighed and covered my face.
" Just how the hell do you even know that something is wrong?" I asked and she chuckled.
" You're tense, you even found a problem with my Rick-office joke. You never do..." She said.
" First of all, I'm going to change this channel," I said, taking the remote and tuning to another channel at random.
" Second, I have to tell you guys something." I finally said, and Jenna came out of nowhere.
" Is this the day you finally told us about your past?" She asked and I stared at her in surprise.
" Just how long have you been waiting for this?" I asked and she shrugged.
" What do you mean, tell us about your past?" Nina asked since I never mentioned my past to her.
" You know...things about me that you don't know but they... happened long ago," I explained, and she facepalmed herself.
" Thanks for the explanation, but I think I know what the past means," she said dryly.
" It's just... I'm getting married to Rick and I have to come clean to him about certain things, and before I do that, I thought that I'd tell you two first. To know if it's too big of a secret to tell Rick or if I should just keep it from him." I explained and they both looked at each other.
" Okay... So, what is this HUGE secret?" Nina asked as she placed her hands on my shoulder to try to calm me down.
" Ooohhh... Okay," I said, and my voice started shaking.
" I should start with the fact that my name isn't Jean ..." I said and they both stared at me with blank expressions.
" Seriously? You're not kidding right now?" Jenna finally asked, breaking the silence, and I nodded.
" And... I'm actually a m-"
" -Is that you on TV?" Jenna suddenly said, and we all watched the TV. There I was, in a red gown and black sneakers, with my ebony hair reaching my butt - this was taken today! The flash I saw earlier wasn't a figment of my imagination!
What caught my attention was the news headline: Mother of billionaire CEOs' children identified as Viola Walden.
Both Nina and Jenna looked at the headline and then at me.
"This picture was taken of you today, Jean, but it says your name is Viola... Is that true?" Nina asked, but I was freaking out.
" This can't be happening!" I panicked as I stood up.
" How could it be that the day I decide to tell the truth, the media beats me to it?" I said to myself as I ran my hands through my hair and watched the news.
" You look hot though," Jenna said.
" Earlier this week, this video of three adorable triplets - two boys and a girl, who sang an early Easter song at St Mary's orphanage in Philadelphia gained so much attention and this led to one netizen commenting that they looked like British billionaire twin CEOs Klyde and Kade Harold..." The reporter was saying, and my heart sank, it was them... My children!
They weren't supposed to be in the public eye, ever! We had a deal for goodness’ sake!
"... So many netizens found the comment on the children's photo true, especially for the boys who look so much like the Harold twins. We all thought it was just a coincidence until a photo video of the Harold twins fighting over a girl during prom seven years ago resurfaced on the internet this morning and the girl was revealed to be Viola Walden, a former girlfriend of Kade Walden who cheated on him with his twin brother Klyde and ended up being pregnant..." The person was saying, and I could feel my legs failing, so I sat down and covered my face with my palm.
"... They said Viola Walden fled with some of the Harolds' money and gave birth to triplets but left them in an orphanage in pursuit of greener pastures in Los Angeles.
After seven years, it seems she's made a very successful career as an artist and personal assistant at the Monroe theaters. She is even engaged to her boss and owner of the fast-rising theater - Rick Monroe, but the minute this information was leaked, fans of the Harold twins took to social media to air their thoughts on Viola Walden.
Especially since the source of this information was unsure which of the men she had these triplets for.
Some people call her reckless and a disgrace to mothers for abandoning her children when she is well-to-do to provide for them, others call her a heartless gold digger and want her to be arrested for her behavior.
You may be wondering why this is news, but the internet was taken by surprise when, on January 7th this year, Kane Harold - the father of the Harold twins, willed all of his properties to his future grandchildren, but both his sons who want nothing to do with him swore never to have children who would be burdened with his wealth. Now it seems they have no choice since one of them is allegedly the father of these adorable twins. Netizens are buzzing..."
" - This is wild Jean, this is WILD!!" Jenna said and Nina scoffed.
" Her name isn't even Jean," Nina said. And I looked at her, surely she wasn't planning on bailing on me, was she?
" Nina, it doesn't make any difference. I was going to tell you guys everything anyway. Please try to understand that the version of my story on the internet is not completely true," I explained desperately as I tried to convince Nina, who was now standing with her hands folded.
" Nina... Please, you and Jenna are all I've got." I begged, and she was about to say something when we noticed more flashes around my house. Jenna peeked out the window and gasped before she turned around and looked at us.
" Paparazzi!! They're every fucking where!" She said in fright and my heart sank.
" Why is this such a big deal? Why won't you guys let this go?!" I yelled at the reporter on the TV who was still talking about the matter on the ground.
"... All that people around the world want to know is... Who is the father of these triplets? Kade or Klyde? But only Viola Walden can provide answers to this question," she said.
" I'm so screwed!" I said and burst into tears.
" What are you going to tell Rick? Poor guy's probably watching this right now."
" Jenna! Not helping!" Nina scolded.
" And you-" she said to me, "this isn't time to cry, it's time to figure out how to get you out of here."
" Woah... Guys, there's an expensive as fuck car in front of the house - hell it's a Klade inferno! Isn't this one of Harold's 2017 cars?"
" What?" Nina said and ditched me to go see the car through the window.
" DAMN!!" They both said, and I wiped my eyes and went to see who made them react that way. The man I saw was the last person on Earth that I'd expected to see.
Viola It's been seven years and I heard that both Kade and Klyde had grown to be more alike than you could ever imagine - that you couldn't tell them apart anymore. I guess it was true since I was having the hardest time figuring out if the handsome, probably 6'2 man dressed in the most elegant dark-blue tuxedo was Kade or Klyde. He signaled to two of his bodyguards to knock on my door and I looked away because of the intense flash from the cameras dying to capture the moment. As the men knocked on my door, I tried to put things together. Just how is it possible that the second this news about me was broadcasted, one of the Harold twins is here? Was this planned? Was it his doing? I thought he didn't want a child. " Viola!" I heard Jenna call and I snapped out of it. " Wow... I've been calling you Jean and you didn't answer," Nina said and I mouthed, " sorry" to her. "Who's that guy outside? Do you know him?" She asked and I looked aga
Kade News... My family always made it to the news at least once every month. I sometimes hear things about myself that even I am not aware of on the news and today wasn't any different. " It is a known fact that the Harold family are one of the most popular families because of their extreme wealth gotten from their billion-dollar worth automobile company. They have made a name for themselves in the automobile industry, making millions of dollars for every new model of Klade cars - known for its speed, precision, and polished looks. The golden sons Kade and Klyde who like their father and his father before him are now head of the company have been known to be the third most googled people in the world and they're always trending on Twitter for even the slightest actions in public. Just a few hours ago, the Harold twins became a subject of gossip when a mysterious lady believed to be the mother of the enchanting triplets who sang at an Easter service wa
Viola I couldn't do it, I couldn't just get myself to get down from the car and I knew that I would soon be told to do so but seeing this house brought back memories that hit harder than a rock. My eyes had been shut the moment I was driven into the Harold's mansion and it was because I used to come here whenever Klyde wanted me to. We would have sex for hours and then I'd sneak out without even saying a word to Kade about me being at his house. Then when I got pregnant I remember standing in front of Emelia in her office that evening as she dictated how my life would be in exchange for millions of dollars offered to my dad. " Miss Walden, we've arrived." The driver said to me then I sighed and opened my eyes, there it was, The Harold Mansion. It looked exactly the same, white and surrounded by beautiful flowers that were pruned and watered regularly by Madame Faustina. The lawn was Mr Joe's business and the cars in the garage were as many as could satisfy the
Viola Yesterday was one of the worst moments of my life, no one showed up to dinner and those two women knew that no one would yet they made anxious for a dinner they knew would never happen. Madame Faustina even told me that the loneliness I felt while I sat at the table is exactly how I would feel when I become Klyde's wife and it hurt me so much that I almost cried but I held back my tears until I got to my room and there I unleashed the well of tears I had stored in me. What exactly is my purpose here, to be a slave even to the maids of this house? It was no doubt that a lot of women around the world probably hated me because they believed that I abandoned my children and ran off with the Harold's money - but at least I couldn't hear the spite or hateful words these women say about me, these maids, however, chose to make sure I don't escape these cruel treatment. I thought I would be safe here but I was wrong because this is the lion's den. The only good
Kade I was in the lounge, along with my uncles, aunts, and cousins as we waited for my father so we all could go on this hopeless train-wreck of a family vacation. What is he even thinking anyway? That this will turn out peaceful? Half of these people want his wealth and since I could remember he never let us speak with them. He never even let them enter any of our houses before so this was definitely strange to me, that was why I isolated myself and sat far away from them while drinking a glass of wine. Immediately Klyde entered the lounge, I heard loud laughter soon after. He was talking to our cousin - Nicholas and Bart Jr and they were so invested in whatever bullshit joke he was telling that I looked away in disgust at how dumb they were to think Klyde gave a damn about them. It was obvious something serious would go down today and Klyde was trying to get the favor of the rest of the family - like the desperate man he is. He didn't even like maki
Viola I was so embarrassed since the whole Harold Family saw Klyde try to attack me. It was obvious that it would be no secret whatever goes on between me and Klyde. How was his father even able to tell that I was refusing Klyde sex? The expression on the faces of the Harolds was a total surprise and then amusement but I still felt so embarrassed especially when their father tried to mimic me - ugh I'll never get that out of my head. Kade just seemed disgusted by the sight of both me and Klyde and I really couldn't blame him. After their father left, I saw Kade leave immediately with a woman - a pregnant woman. She looked familiar like she was a sibling to Kade but there was no time to find out because I hated to wait for Klyde to get dressed so we could leave together. " The fuck is that for?!" Klyde's annoying voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I scoffed. I hit the seat with my hands when I realized the woman I'd seen with Kade was Elizabeth and
Viola I was dazed as I looked at his body, like Klyde he was huge and his body was just so perfect. I shouldn't have looked down but the v-shape close to his abs destroyed me. It was as if his body was telling me - this is what you threw away for that numbskull or maybe it was me who told myself that. I sighed and bit my lips to keep myself from saying something inappropriate. Rick used to flash me all the time and I was able to handle him even though he had a great body but Kade's was just... Okay, calm down Viola. " Where do you think you're going, Daisy?" He asked and my heart skipped. Did he just call me Daisy? He used to call me that when he was so mesmerized by my beauty but why would he call me that now? " To sleep on the couch?" I said and then moved closer to the bed to take a pillow but he closed in on me faster than anything I'd ever seen. He was always so fast with his movements! " Why won't you sleep with me? Just look at me from
Viola I was dressed in a pink crop top and skinny jeans and wore a silver chain and earrings as accessories, looking at myself in the mirror earlier I felt like a high school girl - but a very pretty one. I joined the rest of the family in the dining room shortly and ensured that my greeting was loud enough for everyone to hear but most of them didn't acknowledge my greeting. " Are you guys waiting for me?" Mr. Harold said as he entered the dining room and sat at the foremost part of the table and I suspected that his wife, Emelia would be sitting opposite him. But I actually hadn't seen her since we got here. I sighed and joined everyone else in waiting for the last two members to join us for breakfast - Kade, and Klyde. In no time Kade came in and sat down beside me, then Klyde followed but he sat opposite me. I don't know why I did a double-take but I just found myself doing a double-take to make sure it was Kade by my side. When I looked at Kade,
