A night of heartbreak. A stranger in the dark. A secret that will change everything. When Tilda Grant discovers she was pregnant, her life became in danger. Tilda had already lost everything to her husband, James. James had secretly divorced her and was having a secret affair with her half-sister, Kristie. Tilda was devastated and the night she got drunk, she ended up on the bed of a stranger. She flee, and five years later, she returns, a determined single mother of quadruplets, ready to rebuild her life and uncover the pressing secret of the paternity of her kids. She never expected to cross paths with Oscar Gray, a cold yet dangerously captivating businessman—nor did she know he was connected to her past in ways she couldn't imagine. Oscar Gray must honor his grandfather, and make Tilda his wife. Just as Tilda begins to open her heart again, James resurfaces, claiming the children as his own. In a dramatic twist, Tilda discovers that Oscar Gray is the stranger from that night. Now, caught between two powerful men—one who deceived her, and one who unknowingly changed her life—Tilda must fight for her family, her love, and the truth. Will she trust Oscar, the man who was always meant to be hers? Or will James steal her future just as he stole her past?

I’m not the one trying to force you to raise someone else’s bastards.”Eddy came downstairs then, holding his phone in one hand. His voice was grave.“Sir, I think… I think she’s moved. The kids too. It seems they packed the important stuffs and moved.”My heart sank. “No. No, that’s not possible,” I whispered, staggered.It all started to make sense—the timing of the move, how distant she had suddenly become, how I never got to see the kids and her together at the party. I should have realized. I should’ve known.Didn’t she trust me enough to tell me about them?“She’s been exposed,” Alicia said triumphantly. “Of course she ran. That’s what she’s good at—running and hiding.”I ignored her taunts and turned to Eddy, my eyes burning.“We must find her. Where would she go with the kids? She can’t just van
TILDAWithin minutes, we had gathered almost everything we needed and assembled in the sitting room, each of us holding onto a piece of our hurried escape.“Where are my things?” I asked Miranda, glancing around.“Just this,” she handed me a small travel bag. “I couldn’t pack much. There just wasn’t enough time.”I unzipped the bag and rummaged through it. The first thing I pulled out was the red satin dress—Oscar’s gift. Without hesitation, I dropped it onto the sofa.Miranda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Tilda! What are you doing?” she asked, her voice tinged with alarm. “You’re not just going to leave those behind, are you?”I kept my expression blank as I continued to pull out the rest of the items Oscar had given me—jewelry, the white rose, the teddy—and placed them all beside the dress.“He should have them,” I replied coldly. “He’ll find them when he gets here.”“But... um... maybe you should just take them,” she suggested, more gently this time.I turned and gave her a look th
TILDAIt was all falling apart—and I never saw it coming.Oscar had taken me for a fool. There was no other explanation. What kind of twisted game had he been playing? Why would he attempt to propose to me while still involved with Alicia?She had lived with him, cared for him, and had even been by his side when I thought I was the only one. She said all of this right in front of him—and he hadn’t even tried to deny a single word.I sped down the highway, ignoring the traffic signs and honking horns. My hands gripped the wheel tightly, fury and heartbreak battling inside me.If only Oscar had been honest. If only he had warned me that Alicia was back—or that she had never truly left—I could have handled this differently. I wouldn’t have felt so blindsided, so utterly humiliated.And now James and Kristie likely knew where I was. All thanks to Oscar. Everything I had tried to shield the kids from was about to catch up with us.I parked a block away from the house and jumped out before
OSCAR GRAYI dashed off, not caring about the curious stares from my workers. Let them watch—I didn’t care. Tilda didn’t need to run anymore. I was here now, and James couldn’t hurt her. I’d protect her with everything I had—everything.If anyone should be scared, it should be James and Kristie. They were the ones who wronged her. They were the ones who ought to feel shame, not Tilda.I knew the truth. Tilda never pushed me to go after Petal Towers. If anything, she made me return the house at Whalelane Quarters—for Shantel’s sake, a little girl she didn’t even owe anything to. That was who she was. Tilda was the victim, not the villain.“Tilda!” I shouted, waiting desperately for the elevator.“Sir, is something wrong?” Sam appeared behind me, concerned.I didn’t answer. I shoved past him. The elevator was too slow—I couldn’t afford to waste another second. I sprinted toward the stairs.My heart pounded violently in my chest as I flew down the steps, terror gripping me. What if... wh
TILDAI didn’t even realize someone had walked into the office. I was too caught in the whirlwind of emotions. Joy mingled with questions I couldn’t shake off.How did Oscar find out about the ring?Was he the one who bought it back? Had he done all this just to stop someone else from having it?I reached out my hand to take the ring, but his eyes remained locked on the door.There was a shift in his expression. More of regret, hesitation, perhaps even fear. Something had changed.I turned—and that was when I saw her.“Alicia Strafford,” I murmured, my eyes landing on Oscar’s ex-girlfriend.She had left years ago. What was she doing here now? And... and, I don’t want to be seen by anyone I knew. Words might get to James.Alicia walked in confidently, carrying herself with the same elegance she had back in high school. Somehow, she still managed to intimidate me.At one time, she was Kristie’s closest friend. Yet, she had never spared me a second glance back then. She always made me fe
KRISTIE“I told you it wouldn’t take long. Oscar knows better than to mess with me,” Lady Sheila bragged, her voice loud as the last of our things were being moved in.“You can leave those items right there,” Mom instructed the movers carrying in the vanity. “I’ll take them to the right place later.”Lady Sheila strode over. “Put them down gently, will you? Don’t even think about stepping into their private room,” she warned.“We’ll leave it right here,” one of the men replied.“Good. Now go bring in the rest,” Lady Sheila spoke condescendingly at him. “Don’t just stand there like statues,” she barked.“Where is James?” Mom asked, glancing around until she spotted him descending the stairs. “James, go direct the men. Show them where to place the rest of the things.”Without a word, James gave a small nod and followed the movers.“You know,” Lady Sheila said, turning to Mom with a grin, “I’ve always told Kristie to be patient. Soon, Oscar will have no choice but to submit to me.”Mom s
