Kate Pov

He watched as Bella led the children to her room. Were those six children really hers? But she couldn’t have abducted six identical kids at once, even if she had wanted to.He said “he needed to find a way to talk to at least one of them whenever He got the chance to”.

Meanwhile, I sat in the bathroom, frustrated. I was perched on the edge of the bathtub with only a towel wrapped around my body. How heartless could this man be? If he wanted to lock me up, did it have to be in the bathroom?

Hours passed, and night fell. I had kept hoping he would change his mind, but he didn’t. To make matters worse, I hadn’t eaten dinner, and I was so hungry.

As the night fell so deeply, I realized there was still no sign of anyone coming. Did that mean I wouldn’t get to check on my children tonight?

I walked to the door and knocked. No response. I banged on it in frustration, then screamed, yet still, I got no reply.

I continued hitting the door with all my strength, but it was too strong. I

    Kate Pov A few hours after I arrived back at the apartment I rented when I returned from Nouth Hill, I took a cab to my children's school. The school was a very prestigious and expensive one, attended only by students from the richest families in town.When I arrived at the school to pick up my kids, the teacher in charge told me that the children had already been taken away by a man.A man? My heart almost jumped out of my chest. Had Cora betrayed me by telling her son about my plan to leave? Was it Roberto who had come to pick up the children? If he had, and if he had found out that the children were his, then I was doomed.Everything within me became completely disorganized. I ran out of the school and was about to take a cab back to the mansion when another thought struck me—what if it wasn’t Roberto who took the children? Although there was a ninety percent chance that it was him.I turned back and ran into the school again, just in time to see the teacher stepping out of the cl

    Kate PovI didn’t know what to say anymore. I was in a state of dilemma, my mouth literally shivering. Why didn’t my plan to run away go as planned? I despised Lucas so much for going to pick up my children.After two minutes of silence, the call ended.My hand dropped slowly from my ear. What would Roberto plan on doing to me now? I had angered him, and I was now in deep trouble."The phone, please," Jack requested, and I handed it over to him. I had even forgotten that Jack was standing before me.As Jack walked away, I became so lost in thought that I barely noticed what was going on around me anymore. I was in deep suspense about what Roberto planned to do to me. Most particularly, I was scared that he might go ahead and ask Lucas about it. If Lucas spilled the truth, wouldn’t I be in even bigger trouble?Should I quickly go to Lucas and plead with him to cover up for me? I turned to look at Lucas and saw him smile at me with a mocking expression. At that moment, I remembered how

    Kate PovRoberto was busy in his study room when he heard a knock on the door. Anytime he studies inside the room, no one dares to disturb or distract him.Roberto heard a knock at the door….Could it be me he thought?Anger surged through him as he stood up and walked over to the door. Everyone in this mansion, including his mother, knew better not to disturb when he was in his room studying no matter how urgent the matter may be.He.angrily opened the door, and to his surprise, he saw a young, handsome boy standing there.The boy suddenly shouted, "I found him!"He barely had time to process what he meant before another boy appeared, then another, and before He knew it, three little girls joined them.These kids belong to Bella, he later realized. What are they doing around his study room? And how did they even get here?He was disturbed, trying to chase them away, but then a memory hit him—the day one of the boys called Bella "aunt" and asked for their mother in front of him.This

    Kate Pov I walked into Bella's room with the children, and this time, she was already awake. The moment she saw the kids with me, she sat up and asked, "I’ve been worried since I couldn’t find them here. Did you take them out?""No, ma…" I hesitated, unsure of how to explain that the children had left on their own and wandered around the mansion, playing.Bella counted the children, and a frown crossed her face when she realized only three boys and two girls were present."The children should be six. Where is she?" she asked."That’s Sophia. She can be quiet and weird at times. She refused to follow her brothers and sisters here. I’ll go and get her now," I assured her before stepping out to get Sophia."Come around," Bella said to the children, pointing to them to take their seats. They obeyed, but I could tell they weren’t happy.It had only been a few days since they last saw me, yet it felt like a long time to them. And now that I was here, I had left again. They probably hoped

    Kate Pov I looked at the door of the room where my children were and I felt so tired and worried. Should I secretly run away at night? My plan to run away the first time was jeopardized by Lucas—perhaps it could work out this time.I walked inside the room and sat quietly by the side. Bella, who had just finished arranging the kids' clothes in the wardrobe, walked over to me and said, "I left you because Roberto gave me a sign to leave. Hope you understand?""Sure," I replied.Bella placed a hand on my shoulder and said, "I'll leave the room so you can spend time with your children.""Thank you," I smiled faintly and watched as she walked out.The moment she was gone, the children ran toward me and swarmed around me. I was so happy to be with them again. I could see the joy and excitement on their faces."Mum, we missed you," Nathan spoke up."So much, Mum…""We miss you, Mum," the children said one after the other as they leaned on my body.I remembered how I had almost died a coupl

    Roberto Pov"Hey," Roberto greeted my remaining five kids, and they greeted back, all happy to see this big man again."Please stay outside with Jack. I want to have a word with your mum," he said. The kids looked at me without saying a word, but it was obvious they were asking if they could leave me.Kate nodded, and they stepped out one after the other."Sophia, why don't you join your brothers and sisters? Your mum and I need to talk," Roberto said to Sophia, who was still holding my hand.Sophia could sense the anxious look on my face and said to Roberto, "You won’t bully her, will you?"Roberto was dumbfounded for the next few seconds. I looked at Sophia and opened my mouth, but words got stuck in my throat. This was the first time I wanted to say a word but hesitated. I was the most powerful man in Silver Crest and could say whatever I wanted without anyone daring to question him.But here I was, standing before a little kid, trying to choose my words carefully."She didn't off

    Kate Pov I smiled painfully and turned my face away from Roberto. I wondered how he would react when he found out that the six kids were his. The only relief I had was that he was kind to them—he was only cruel to me."Answer my question," he demanded.I had sincerely forgotten the question he asked and immediately stormed my brain to recall it. Before I could remember, I felt his hand on my skirt. I glanced at him and then back at the skirt I was wearing. The black fabric had stopped right above my knee.He pulled the skirt up slowly, his palm brushing against my skin. I instinctively wanted to close my legs, even though I was enjoying it, but his big palm forcefully separated them. His touch reached my panty, and I almost let out a moan, but I quickly swallowed it."Look at me," he demanded, and I obeyed, locking eyes with him. "Don’t take your face away from me, or I’ll throw you out of this car," he threatened.His thumb pressed against the fabric covering my most sensitive spot.

    Kate Pov I felt my body being lifted from the bathtub, and then I was placed on the bed. A warm palm rested on my forehead, checking my temperature, before my naked body was covered with a duvet.Roberto stood over me for a moment, watching my face, then turned and walked out of the room.When he got to his own room, he sat on the bed, his mind clearly troubled. I had told him that the children were mine, and he couldn't shake off that claim. Why would I say such a thing? He tried to lay down and get some sleep, but his mind wouldn’t let him rest. Frustrated, he stood up and walked over to his drawer, pulling out an old album.Flipping through the pages, he gazed at the pictures of his late wife. His fingers traced the image of her face."You," he mumbled, his voice breaking. "You should have been alive when the secret about you got exposed."He eventually closed the album and dropped it on the table beside his bed.The entire night passed without him getting a wink of sleep. As soon

    Kate pov"Yes, sir," Michael placed a call across to the restaurant manager and commanded him to evacuate everyone from the restaurant as it was Roberto’s command. In a swift, an announcement was passed and everyone was immediately asked to evacuate the restaurant.Some people had not eaten half of their food, some had just started, no one knew why they were being evacuated and some were even murmuring at such an uncultured act.Drake and I also had to leave. I soon returned back to my seat. I could neither continue my conversation with Drake nor me continue eating. Overall, I liked Drake’s vibe. His jokes were reasonable, and he looked like a perfect gentleman.Once we closed at work, Drake walked over to me with a sad face and said, "I have been fired."I furrowed my brow and stood. "What! Fired? How? What did you do?""I don't know. I tried asking the bosses but they all kept shunning me. No one will even say a word," Drake said.I thought hard about why he could have been fired an

    Kate PovRoberto sat beside the bed I was on and was watching me; he had been beside me for the past two hours. He already had his personal assistant, Jack, investigate who shot me. He would have suspected Lucas, but Lucas was already in prison.He received a call on his phone and, seeing that the caller ID was Jack, he answered at once, "Have you found out who the person is?""No, sir. I'm outside with the drugs that Mrs. Katw is to use," Jack said, and Roberto stood at once and went to get the drugs from him.By the time he returned to the room, I was already awake. He went to sit beside me and asked, "How do you feel?"I remembered that the last thing I knew was that a heavy and harmful object had penetrated my shoulder. I adjusted to a sitting position and asked, "How did I get here?""You were shot in the shoulder," Roberto said immediately, making me furrow my brow in shock."Do you have a fight with anyone?" he asked."Not at all," I answered and suddenly winced in pain as I fe

    Kate pov I squinted my eyes and eventually shut them. I felt sorrowful at the fact that he may never love me. It’s been six years, yet he still wasn’t ready to give love a chance. People who cheat on us sometimes do not know that they are not only breaking our hearts but damaging them.I turned and walked into my room, thinking hard about the possibility of Cleon falling in love with me. Even though I knew that if a time came when he finally fell in love with me, then that would be nothing short of a miracle.The following day, Roberto walked into the executive hall with our three sons. Everyone had thought in the past that the most powerful man in Slivercrest was infertile. Now, it was time to prove to the world how fertile the most powerful man in Slivercrest truly was.Jason, Nathan, and Liam were all dressed in black tailored suits and black shoes just like their father. As they stepped into the hall, a lot of newscasters and journalists took photos of Roberto and his three sons.

    Roberto Pov I was just about to light my cigarette when I raised my gaze up at her as soon as she said those words. "What did you say?" I paused what I was about to do and seriously concentrated on her. "The children are yours. I wasn't sleeping with random men at the club. I only had a one-night stand with you 'cause I was terribly heartbroken," Kate said. Unlike her previous words that I found hard to believe, I seemed to believe this. I stood to my feet and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" "Yes, I found out I was pregnant two weeks after we had sex," she said. "I was hiding it from you because I was scared that you would take them from me. But I would rather let their father take them from me than let a stupid jerk and cheat take them from me," she said. I smiled. Happiness spread across my heart, and I quickly prayed in my heart that this wouldn't be a dream. I held her left arm and asked, "Are you really telling the truth?" "Yes, you can perform a DNA test to prove it,

    Roberto PovI didn’t say a word while we were inside the car, and that even made Kate more nervous. She kept glancing at me. She was sure I was definitely angry, but the fact that I wasn’t saying anything made her worried.A couple of minutes later, the fleet of cars came to a halt, and the doors were immediately opened on both sides. I stepped out through one side while Kate stepped out through the other. It was only after she stepped out that she realized we were at the mansion.Why were we here? She wondered and immediately followed me as we both walked inside the house. I walked straight to my mother Cora's room while Kate followed. She saw Cora on the bed with all sorts of medical gadgets connected to her.“Mother,” she walked quickly to her.Once Cora sighted her, she forced out a smile. Her sickness had suddenly gotten worse, and now she wasn’t even sure if she would live the nine months that the doctor had predicted. The pain was getting more intense day by day, and yesterday

My head of security was also seated close by Kate was seated just in front of me while Lucas sat alone on the row beside ours.Lucas's lawyer was the first to speak. After defending Lucas, he presented the invalid divorce papers that Kate had signed — but, of course, there was no signature from Lucas.This jerk didn’t sign it even after six years! Kate mumbled angrily.Lucas's lawyer then began to talk about why the six children were his. The kids were in a separate courtroom at the moment. They had no real idea what was going on, but I knew they were nervous — they had a bit of knowledge about what court meant.The lawyer went on and presented a DNA test result claiming to prove the children were Lucas's.Kate stood and shouted, “What! That’s not true. That result is forged.” She was certain of it.“Order!” the judge barked and took the DNA result.

I loved them so much as though they were my bones and marrow.After getting them an ice cream each, we went back home. Once Kate heard the sounds of a fleet of cars parked outside, she stood and watched through the window as the children were welcomed down like the children of a king.She loved how her children were given so much respect, it was even more beautiful to see the most powerful man in Slivercrest me who was luckily their father, smiling with them.

    Roberto Pov"They are not willing to sell it," Jack, who was seated before me, answered.I had ordered him to buy Classic company. I knew that Lucas would keep appearing before Kate at her workplace. I didn't care what relationship had subsisted between Lucas and Kate or one that subsists at the moment, but as long as Kate was my wife, I wasn't ready to see her with any man."How dare they?" I said angrily and then added, "Tell them that if they don't sell it in three days, I'll shut down the company.""Alright, sir," Jack said and walked away.I wanted to buy the company at twice the amount it was worth, yet they dared not to sell it to me? I was the most powerful man here and hence I could buy whatever I wanted to buy.I stood from my seat and went to lean on my desk, wondering why I broke down before Kate yesterday. I clearly hated her yet I had to pour out my mind to her yesterday. I poured out the secret that I had never poured out to anyone to her. That was weird.I was only in

It was a ten minute video and it was all full of various sex styles," he stood after saying this."All women are promiscuous and deceitful by default. I can't be surprised anymore. Even my mother betrayed my father..." he said and began to pull off his clothes while I just watched. I didn't know whether I should leave or stay."I'm sorry," I said and he turned to me at once with a very stern look."Do I look like someone that needs your pity? Keep your sorry and don't feel sorry for me. You can leave," he said."If you need someone to talk to, you can...""I said get out," he shouted and I jerked in fear and quickly walked out.So it wasn't just the death of his wife that made him this cold and ruthless? Was it not even worse that the woman had died before he found out that she was cheating on him? There was nobody that he could
