Chapter 2:Six years later.

Six years later, at the international airport of Maybach City.

A beautiful young woman stepped out of the terminal. Walking right by her side were three children, two boys and a girl.

The little girl looked incredibly cute and lovely, while the two boys looked remarkably handsome, moving with the poise of little models.

Passersby instantly paused, pulling out their phones to take pictures of the stunning woman and her charming children. No one could take their eyes off them. The entire crowd was staring.

Meanwhile, a gorgeous young woman with curly hair and dark eyes stood near the pickup lane outside. She was looking eagerly at the entrance, searching the crowd.

The moment her eyes spotted the beautiful woman and her three children, she rushed forward, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"My family has finally arrived!" Soraye exclaimed, her face beaming with a smile.

"You didn't have to come all the way here just to pick us up," Bethany said, a smile lighting up her face.

"Come on! My best friend is returning after all these years, and you think I would just sit at home?" Soraye laughed, wrapping her arms around herself. "And besides, I couldn't wait to see my lovely godchildren."

Soraye turned to face the triplets, leaning down. "My three darlings, what is wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? You guys are always so chatty during our video calls."

Soraye blinked, sensing that the three children were acting a bit unusual. Unlike their usual energetic and chatty nature, they were completely quiet, staring calmly at the bustling city around them.

"Alright, it's been ten minutes. You guys can talk now," Bethany announced to the children with a bright smile.

Instantly, the three triplets jumped up in pure excitement.

"We did it! We made it!" they shouted in unison, skipping around in circles.

Soraye stared at them, completely confused. She turned to look at Bethany, who shrugged her shoulders, pretending she had no idea what was going on.

"We are sorry, Aunty Soraye," the little girl, Sofia, explained in her sweet, cute voice. "We made a deal with Mom. If we stayed completely quiet for ten minutes, she promised to let us decorate our own rooms!"

Soraye’s heart was instantly captivated by her. "It's no problem at all! That honestly seemed like a mission impossible, but my little darlings pulled it off. Good job!" Soraye said, giving them a big thumbs up.

"Aunty Soraye! Aunty Soraye!" the three of them called out excitedly. In the blink of an eye, they had turned back into their usual little devils.

"We missed you so much, Aunty Soraye!" The second triplet, Alex, said, his eyes shining like bright stars.

Looking closely at him, he already possessed the striking features of his billionaire father, even though he had never met him.

Soraye felt her heart melt into pieces. "Oh my, Bethany, these kids are just too cute. Their father must be absolutely handsome."

“Then Daddy must be as handsome as a superhero," Sofia cheered, her milk teeth shining brightly.

"Aunty Soraye, does that mean I am handsome ?" Derrick chimed in, tilting his head.

“We haven't even met Father before; how do we know he is as handsome? Alex sneered.

"Come on, Soraye. Don't spoil them," Bethany laughed, shaking her head. "It's obvious where they got their good looks from."

Soraye laughed along with her. "Of course! Our Bethany is an international beauty. How could your children be any less?"

"Alright, let's get going! I can't wait, said Derrick, smiling, to decorate my room with a superhero star!" Derrick urged, pulling at Soraye's hand.

Bethany shook her head affectionately as they all piled into Soraye's luxury SUV.

Bethany’s new home was a stunning villa located in the southern part of Maybach City, inside the prestigious Pearlson Pavilion.

It was an exclusive neighbourhood where only the ultra-wealthy could afford a house, let alone a massive private villa.

"Bethany, you just moved back with three kids, and you insist on staying all the way out here? Aren't you going to get bored?" Soraye complained playfully as she drove.

"Come on, how could I trouble you any more than I already have? You bought this villa and arranged everything perfectly for our arrival. You have done more than enough," Bethany replied softly.

Soraye gripped the steering wheel and glanced at her friend through the rearview mirror. "With that beautiful face of yours, I would be captivated by you even if I were a man."

Bethany just smiled, turning her gaze toward the window to watch the passing skyscrapers. She was finally back in Maybach City. The place where her heart burned with a deep, unforgiving desire for revenge.

If Soraye hadn't rushed to save her from that horrific hit-and-run accident six years ago, Bethany and her babies would have been long gone.

Over the years, Bethany had quietly conducted her own private investigations. Her cruel father, her wicked stepmother Lilian, and her envious stepsister Vivian—their good days were officially coming to an end.

The SUV finally pulled up to the villa. The property was breathtaking, surrounded by large green fields with majestic mountains rising sharply behind the estate.

Bethany smiled, thoroughly pleased with the location. It was private, luxurious, and most importantly, her children would be safe here.

Soraye looked around the villa, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"How about I move in with you guys? I love the aesthetics of this villa. I never knew it would turn out this beautiful."

Bethany smiled proudly.

"Oh, have you forgotten? My kids are great designers!"

"Mommy, here is how I want my room to look!"

Sofia placed her tablet in Bethany's hands, showing her a beautiful room decorated in a princess style.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Soraye praised her. "Sofia is so charming, just like a little princess."

Sofia beamed with happiness. She loved being praised and called a princess.

Bethany shook her head with a smile.

"It's okay, my darling. Your room will be designed before tomorrow."

She took out her phone and called a design company.

"Mommy, I want you to design my room first, so both of you can wait. Ladies first!" Sofia said, sneering at her two brothers.

Derrick sighed and turned to Soraye.

"Aunty Soraye, will Mommy really abandon our rooms and design hers first?"

"I'm not sure, but I guess so," Soraye replied with a clueless expression on her face.

Derrick brought out his own design, looking pitiful.

"Our family really values girls over boys," he muttered.

"Surprised you only figured that out now?" Alex sneered from the couch, closing the magazine he was holding.

Bethany returned after making the call and noticed her sons' distressed expressions.

"Why are my babies frowning?"

"Mommy, are you really going to abandon our rooms and design Sofia's first?" Derrick asked, and Bethany nearly burst out laughing.

"Everybody's room will be designed at the same time. Besides, Sofia is your little sister. You should spoil her."

The boys lowered their heads.

"We're sorry, Mommy," they said.

"I just want my room designed in a superhero style. What crime have I committed?" Derrick asked, giving her a pitiful look.

Bethany's heart melted.

How could she resist her adorable children?

They were her most precious treasures.

When she first discovered she was pregnant, she had considered having an abortion. But after nearly losing her life and her babies in the accident, she decided to keep them.

Soraye later helped her travel abroad, where she gave birth to the triplets.

Her children had become her greatest source of strength and comfort during her darkest days.
