Kate Pov I wanted to scream, but the hand covering my mouth was too quick. I calmed myself and tried to see the person's face. When I realized it was Lucas, I shoved him away angrily."Why did you drag me here?" I snapped, stepping out of the dark space and glaring at him with pure disgust."Don't pretend like you don't miss me," Lucas smirked."Disgusting. After six years, do you still think I haven't gotten over what happened?" I asked, my voice laced with bitterness."It's not my fault that you are barren," Lucas scoffed. "And your little act, pretending to be Reberto’s wife, is just laughable. You think I don't know? Reberto and I were childhood friends, and we used to be best friends. Over the years, we've grown apart and aren't on good terms anymore, but I still know a lot about him. You, of all people, can never be Reberto's type.""Whether I'm his type or not, can I know why you are so concerned? You already have your secretary, right? I hope you've married her and that she's

Kate Pov Daniel sighed, looking at me with a pitiful expression. He could tell that I was going through a lot. He might not know the details, but he could discern it."Can you tell me how you have been? I know we've been distant, but I still kept track of you. The last thing I knew about you was that you and your husband divorced six years ago," Daniel said."I'm fine. I'm losing my patience, and I will just walk out now. I don’t want to be rude, so please go straight to the point," I said, trying to hold back my anger and pain.Daniel, of course, understood the reason for my anger toward him, so he went straight to the point. "A woman from a rich and powerful family approached me a long time ago when her husband's company was almost going bankrupt. And although I'm not half as rich as they are, I had what it took to help them at that moment."He continued, "I realized that if I simply asked the woman to pay me back in the future, the payback wouldn't last. So, I did what I thought w

Kate PovI alighted from the cab that dropped me at one of the biggest mansions in Silvercrest. The building was extremely large and tall—so massive that even if seven generations were living inside, they would all be comfortable.This woman is indeed very wealthy, I thought as I stepped in. I checked my wristwatch and saw that I was not late yet. Seeing that the main large door wasn’t closed, I stepped inside and appeared in a large living room with royal chairs and tables.“Hey, Kate,”I turned and saw the woman who had been helping me, Cora. I quickly walked toward her. “Mother, good morning!”“Welcome, dear. I’m glad you eventually came as promised,” she said warmly, gesturing for me to sit. I obeyed.“He will be here soon, okay?” Cora said to me, and I nodded. My heart pounded nervously. I didn’t know if her son would be ugly or handsome, kind or terrible, respectful toward women or a complete nightmare. Whichever way, I was about to find out.“I personally can’t wait to see your

Kate Pov I was now in the mansion with my six kids. They were in Bella’s room, and I had told them that she was their second grandma. She would be responsible for taking care of them, but since I lived in the mansion, I would always check up on them and play with them as usual.Most importantly, I warned them again and again to refer to me as ‘aunt’ instead of ‘mum.’ When they asked why, I told them it was necessary for now. I explained that it would keep us all protected. Though they couldn’t fully understand the reason behind it, they agreed.My greatest fear was that one of them might mistakenly call me ‘mum’ in front of Roberto.I sat on the couch in the large room where Roberto and I would be staying, smiling as I remembered how Cora and Bella had showered my kids with so much love when they saw them.But my smile soon disappeared when Roberto walked in."Successfully married to the most powerful man in the city. Now your dream has come true, right?" he said."That's not my drea

Kate Pov Jason leaned toward Nathan and whispered, "Is he our dad?""Don't you see that he looks like you and Liam?" Nathan answered, and Jason observed carefully, confirming it.Could he really be our dad? Jason thought. He turned to Liam and whispered, "Do you think this big uncle is our dad?""If he is, he would have taken a look at us, but he just ignored us," Liam replied.Roberto glanced at Nathan, who had just called him "Dad," then turned back to Bella with a smile. "Off to work, Mother." He walked away majestically.I had been extremely tense and immediately ran toward them. "Nathan , why would you call him Dad? Huh?" I tried to keep my voice calm despite my anger.Nathan saw how upset I was and immediately began to cry.I softened, my anger melting away. "Sorry, dear." I moved closer and comforted him. "That man is just an uncle. He's not your dad. You can call him Uncle but not Dad, okay?"Nathan nodded in response.I greeted Bella, exchanged a few words with her, then tur

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

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

Roberto povThe court day was today and here I was, seated majestically with my personal assistant and three of my executive assistants. 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.

Roberto PovWe left the classroom and in a hurry, we were inside the car. As the car drove me and the six kids to the ice cream joint, I wished badly that the kids were mine. 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. She watched as the kids and I walked inside the house.Once the kids saw Kate, they ran to her and hugged her dearly. They began to gist about what happened at school today before they could even sit.I simply walked inside my room.Kate listened to them as though she had no idea about it, whereas she had watched videos of how I bullied a man whose son alleg

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

Kate povIt took another five seconds before he spoke, "She was having sex with another man whose face was covered, yet she had our wedding ring in her hand. 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

Kate pov Once we got inside, I expected him to change his attitude and probably grab my chin as he used to, but instead, he gestured for me to sit on the couch in the living room. I sat slowly, like I was dreaming, while he went to sit on the couch opposite mine. I was very nervous around him. Everything about him was so noble, majestic, and domineering. Perhaps because he was the most powerful man in Silvercrest, his look was impossible to behold for a long time. Roberto crossed his legs and said, "I wouldn't have to punish you that much if I knew that you are mothering six kids. I'm not so heartless." I had my eyes set on his broad chest, but I raised them slowly to his face, my heart thumping. He was handsome, very cute, but... he was just so dangerous. Still, I didn’t take my face away from him. What he said actually melted my heart. "It's not easy nurturing six kids at a time. That's enough stress. I wouldn't have added to your stress if I knew. At the very least, becaus

Kate Pov When I arrived at Chipper Company, I was asked a few questions by the manager, after which I signed up as an employee. Chipper Company deals mainly in the production and selling of shoes and clothes. Since I had no technical knowledge about how to produce shoes or clothes, I was placed in the marketing department.I sat at my desk and glanced at the numerous colleagues seated around their desks. They seemed like lovely people, even though I hadn't spoken to anyone yet.Navigating through the monitor before me with my mouse, I immediately got engrossed in work. When it was break time, I hibernated the system and heaved a sigh of relief. It had been such a long time since I had been this engrossed in work.Remembering that I hadn't even eaten before leaving Roberto’s house, I decided to go for lunch. I stood and asked one of my female colleagues where the company's restaurant was, and she kindly described the location to me.After thanking her, I walked out of the large office

Kate Pov "Mother!" Roberto called Bella. Bella had a look of shock on her face thinking he had overheard us. She quickly forced a smile. "Yes, son. Do you have something urgent to tell me?""You know how much I trust you, right?" Roberto asked."Yes, sure." Bella answered, but her mind seemed unsettled, and her mouth almost quivered. Still, she tried to maintain a calm expression."Yet you lied to me that you are the mother of the children. I overheard the entire conversation because I suspected something was off, especially with the kids' reactions. The love they have for this woman is excessive."Bella didn’t expect the secret to be exposed so soon. "Actually, it was an agreement between your mother and me….to act as the mother to the children."Roberto looked disappointed in Bella, then turned his gaze to me. This slender woman really gave birth to six kids? I could almost see the question running through his mind. Who is their father?Could it be my ex-husband?I was beyond relie
