Chapter 37: Three Against The Devil The doctor instructed the both of them to step outside while the medical team rushed her to the operating room. โYou should stay here with her. Call me once the operation is done. I need to find the triplets.โ Landon said sharply, glancing at Anora. โPlease wait!!โ Anora called after him, and stood up from the chair she was seated on and walked to him. โNever forget, Gianna and Avery are rivals. I won't be surprised if she was the one that kidnapped the triplets.โ she warned and his thoughts reflected yesterday night. At the party. Now everything was suddenly making sense to him. โThank you Anora. Here's my card, you can use it to make payment for the bills.โ With that being said, Landon turned and walked away in a hurry. He needs to trace Gianna. He needs to find her!!! This was probably her way of avenging him. Landon still finds it hard she could do such an evil thing, all because she was bitterd he divorced her. *****โHahaha!โ A lau
Chapter 38: The call Apprehensive runs through Beatrice the moment her eyes synchronise with Gianna's own. Gianna's grinning expression freaks the hell out of Beatrice. โThis could only mean one thingโ she muttered silently, trying to scan through who had called her. โLandon?โ Gianna called through the phone, her eyes widened in disbelief, her mouth slightly open. This only means one thing to Beatrice, it seems like Landon didn't eat the food, because if had, he won't remember to call Gianna. โFinally, you've called to beg me back. I knew a day like this would come when you will regret your decision.โ Gianna exclaimed with a deep breath, her words sounding so delusional .A smirked sound echoed through the phone, and into Gianna's own. โI'm sure you're aware of what you did?โ Landon questions through the phone, making her scoff. Gianna tilted her head at Beatrice for a while and looked down. She was still giving Beatrice hints to confess her sins before her. Because if she finds
Chapter 39: A Threat Gianna walked around restlessly, her skin prickled with dread, every instinct screaming at her to call Landon and apologise. But her ego wouldn't let her. She couldn't bring herself to do such a thing. She started this, so she needs to be the one to end it, without backing down. Each passing seconds, her breath was hitching with anxiety, her stomach twisting in knots, tears welled up in her eyes, her heart heavy with grief as the screaming sounds of her son echoed into her ears. Gianna couldn't do this anymore. She has no choice but to back down. Even if it means losing everything. Her son is her life. The reason she was still living, so she isn't going to let her greed curse him. Gianna's hands trembled in fear as she attempted to pick the phone from the ground it had fallen off while she was trying to fight Beatrice. With a deep exhaling breath, Gianna called Landon. Anxiety ate Gianna up as the phone rang without him picking it up. Fretly, she called him
Chapter 40: Ached Heart Gianna was totally lost and devastated when she realized the people who had tracked them were none other than Landon. Not only that, but he also came with the police. Gianna was certain they would have been arrested, assuming they saw them in that building. She was happy at least she got away with it. Landon had men who were tracking her location during the time he called her, the call made it easier for them to get her location on time and luckily, they were able to get there within Forty minutes, which left tension and terror on Landon before they got there. Landon had people search the whole place, including the building and right there she saw the triplets, two of them were crying, while the other one was counseling them. Fear gripped hold of them the moment they saw Landon, even though they've seen him on television, they couldn't tell if he was a good person. โStay away from us!!โ Ethan rasped in at him the moment he approached them. โNo, I'm not h
Chapter 41: Do You Like Our Mom?Landon didn't know he was gasping so bad until Evan pointed it out, thereby making his stomach churned with mortification. โNo, I'm just happy I Found you guys.โ He uttered with a fake smile. Even though he was hurting deep down. He didn't want them to know because they wouldn't hesitate to ask why he was crying. โYou sob just like Ella!!โ Ethan snapped in, and that got Evan laughing hard. Landing darted his eyes from theirs, avoiding any form of eye contact. He wouldn't be able to hold the shame if they utter any more words about him. He could actually pass there. Just like that. In order to change the topics and remove their thoughts from that conversation, Landon decided to ask them some questions about their mother. โDoes your mother have a man in her life?โ He questioned and darted his eyes from theirs. Awkwardness wouldn't let him maintain eye contact with the triplets. โWhy are you asking sir?โ Ethan demanded โAre you interested in my mot
Chapter 42: Between Love And Regret She couldn't even look him in the eyes. She was too embarrassed to face him, after lying to him. โPlease Landon, I need to speak with her.โ Avery yelled at Him, her voice firm and steady. โHe knows Avery,โ Avery's hands fluttered nervously at her words. โHe knows everything. So you can relax now. โ Anora murmured at her. Avery's stomach churned with mortification. She wished the ground would just open and swallow her whole, in that way, she would be free. โWhat about the triplets?โ Her heart sank at the thought of this. She shouldn't be here just sitting and doing nothing whereas her children are in danger. โWhat about them?โ Avery yelled at the top of her voice. Her eyes brimming with questions. For some minutes, she had forgotten about them. Without hesitation, Avery removed the drip that was placed in her hands and attempted to walk away when Landon held her and embraced her. โIt's okay!โ He whispered to her. Petting her at the back. โThe
Chapter 43: One Last Time โIt's okay to hate him, it's okay to be angry at him but please don't push him away. He really cares about you. He really loves you.โ Anora advises, making her scoff. โCan you please change the topics. He's the least thing I want to talk about right now.โ Avery chimed at her with a serious gaze, to tell her she wasn't joking. โYour wish is my command ma'am,โ anora said. โDo you think Gianna would stop?โ She asked, changing the topic like she wanted. โI doubt she will. I'm certain her plan was to kill me and the triplets at the same time.โ Avery said. Avery gasped when her memories reflected back to when Gianna threatened her with something like this. โWhat is it Avery, are you okay?โ Anora questions, noticing the shock finding expression in her eyes. โI am so careless!โ She cried out. Her voice shuddered. โI should have been more careful after she threatened me. I actually thought it was a normal threat.โ โIt's okay Avery. At least you know the kind o
Chapter 44: The truth about their fatherAvery got discharged from the hospital some hours ago. Landon was the one who drove them home even after she told him not to disturb himself, that she will find her way but Landon never listened. He was scared they might attack her again. His team had been stretching everywhere for Gianna but she was yet to be found. He wanted to make sure she rotted in jail for some time so he brain would reset. Ethan approached his mother in the setting room and handed over the money, the man had told him to give his mother. โHe told me to give you after he was gone!โ Ethan spoke, handling over the small bag, filled with bundles of money. Avery gasped at the sight of the Money. This was something she would never accept. โWhy did you collect it from him? Didn't I warn you never to collect things from strangers?โ Avery snapped at him, her voice laced with shouts and anger. โYou did mother, but sir Landon told me he would forgive me If I collected the money
Chapter 55: His Woman The day Nathan left the hospital was quiet. There was no celebration, no speeches or loud goodbyes. Just a simple discharge and a silent car ride home. He sat in the back seat beside Emma, staring out the window like a ghost from another world. Robert drove while Landon sat up front, giving Nathan space. None of them spoke much during the ride. There was too much to say, and none of them knew how to start. The city passed by in a blur, but Nathan wasnโt really looking. He was lost in his own head, haunted by memories and guilt. When they finally reached Robertโs home, it felt like stepping into a place frozen in time. Nothing had changed, but everything felt different. Emma led Nathan to the guest room upstairs. The bed was already made. Clean clothes sat folded on a chair. โYou can stay here for now,โ she said softly. He nodded, didnโt speak. Just walked in and sat on the edge of the bed.Downstairs, Robert poured himself a cup of tea. Landon stood at the windo
Chapter 54: trembling Robertโs heart broke at the sound of Nathanโs words. He wanted to pull him close, to tell him that it was all going to be okay, that they could fix this. But he knew better than to lie. He knew that this would take time. He had to be patient."You donโt have to face it all at once," Robert said quietly. "Weโll take it slow. Weโll work through this together. But you have to trust me, Nathan. Iโm not going to leave you. Iโm here, and Iโm not going anywhere."Nathan didnโt answer at first. He just lay there, his eyes closed again, his face turned away. But Robert could see the tears at the corners of his eyes. Nathan was trying to be strong, trying to hold it all together. But the truth was too much for him to carry alone."Iโm sorry," Nathan whispered after a long pause, his voice breaking. "Iโm so sorry."Robertโs chest tightened, and he fought to keep his emotions in check. "You donโt have to apologize. You donโt have to carry this alone anymore."Nathan finally
Chapter 53: The GameThe gun in Nathanโs hand trembled slightly, as though the weight of it was too much for him to bear. Robert could see the conflict in his eyes, the flicker of uncertainty that passed through them. Was Nathan really ready to do this? Ready to pull the trigger and end everything?Robertโs heart hammered in his chest, the blood rushing in his ears. He couldnโt believe it, not after everything theyโd been through. The truth about Nathan, about his son, was like a punch to the gut. How had this happened? How could he have been blind to it all these years?But now wasnโt the time to dwell on the past. Now was the time to act. Nathan was standing there, the weapon raised, and Robert knew that the next few seconds would decide everything."Put the gun down, Nathan," Robert said, his voice steady, despite the panic that swirled inside him. "This isnโt the way. You donโt have to do this."Nathanโs eyes flickered, but the gun didnโt waver. "You donโt understand, do you? You
Chapter 52: A bitter Truth The drive felt long, each mile a reminder that they were getting closer to something they couldnโt fully prepare for. Robert kept his thoughts to himself, but his mind raced. He had always been ahead of Nathan, always outwitting him, always prepared for his next move. But this time, the rules were different. This time, Nathan wasnโt the only one playing.They arrived at Clearwater just as the sun began to dip below the horizon. The small town was eerily quiet, the kind of place that seemed to hold its breath, waiting for something to happen. The motel was tucked away at the edge of the town, almost hidden behind a line of trees. It wasnโt much to look atโfaded signs, cracked pavement, a few cars parked outside."Weโll stay in separate rooms," Robert said, his voice low. "Keep a low profile. Nathan wonโt expect us to show up this soon. If heโs here, weโll catch him off guard."Landon nodded. "Letโs do this."They checked into the motel, each of them silently
Chapter 51Bloodline SecretsNathan crouched in the woods behind an old farmhouse, watching as the car carrying Grace and Kevin drove away. He had always been good at hiding in plain sight. Disguises, fake identities, silent movementโhe had mastered them all. He didn't blame Grace for telling Robert the truth. She had done what any mother would. But it didn't change his plans. Not one bit.Back in the motel, Robert sat on the bed, staring at the note Nathan left behind. Emma paced the room, her arms folded tightly across her chest, while Landon stood near the window, scanning the dark road outside."Heโs watching us," Emma muttered."Yeah," Landon said, "and he knows weโre close."Robert held the note tighter. "That boy... Kevin. He has no idea what kind of history he's a part of. He doesnโt know about Smith, or me, or Nathan."Emma sat beside him. "He doesnโt have to. We can keep him out of it."Robert looked at her, the corners of his mouth twitching into a tired smile. "You always
Chapter 50: the past Landon stared out the window as Emma drove through the quiet streets. His hands were shaking. He glanced at his father, who lay weakly in the back seat, wrapped in a blanket Emma had given him. Robertโs face was pale. His eyes closed. Every few minutes, Landon checked if he was still breathing.Emma looked at Landon, her voice soft. โWhere do we go now?โLandon took a deep breath. โTo my momโs old cabin. No one knows about it. Weโll be safe there.โRobert mumbled something. Landon leaned closer.โWhat is it, Dad?โโWaterโฆโEmma passed a bottle to Landon, who helped Robert drink. The man looked at his son and whispered, โThank you for finding me.โLandon swallowed hard. โIโm sorry it took so long.โThey drove for hours, making sure they werenโt followed. At last, they reached the cabin. It was small but warm. Emma helped Landon settle Robert onto a couch. Then she started a fire. Landon made soup. When it was ready, Robert ate slowly.โWhy did Nathan do this?โ Lan
Chapter 49: His Perfect PlanNathan couldnโt take his eyes off the boy sitting in front of him. Landon looked so much like Robert, it made Nathanโs chest tighten. The same nose, lips, and sharp eyes. He folded his arms, leaned back in the chair, and watched silently. Landon sat across from him, confused. He didnโt know why Nathan had invited him here or what he wanted.Nathan had been waiting for this day for a long time. The day he would face Robertโs sonโthe boy who had everything. The boy who lived the life Nathan believed was stolen from him.Landon didnโt know the truth. He didnโt know Nathan was not just some stranger. He didnโt know Nathan was his uncleโhis fatherโs twin brother. The twin no one knew about. The twin who was left behind.Nathan never believed in destiny. But all that changed three years ago.It happened in the most unexpected place. Nathan had stopped at a roadside restaurant to eat. As he waited for his food, he looked up at the television on the wall. The news
Chapter 48: His father's twins Landon was left alone with the strange man in the ward, the man who looks exactly like his dead father, who was lying down, A white clothes wrapped around his body. โMy son!โ The man called, finally raising his head up for Landon to have a total view of him. He took off the doctor's coat and leaned close to him. โWho are you?โ Landon question. He knew this person in front of him wasn't his father. His father was the one lying down there, helplessly, not this one who seems to look like his clone. Perhaps, this was part of Smith's plans. โIf you don't respond, I will have no choice but to raise an alarm and you'll be arrested.โ Landon threatens him. โOkay.. just calm down. I will introduce myself to you!โ The man responded to him. His voice sounds exactly the same as his father's. Which was what bothers him so much. How's it possible? He can't just seem to wrap his head around the whole thing. The more he tries, the more his head keeps throbbing. โY
Chapter 47: The Death of his father โWhat?โ Anora snapped herself the moment she realised she was indulging herself in such a negative thought. She would never do that to her friend. She will never steal her friend's man. Why would such negative thoughts cross her mind in the first place? โYou need to wipe it away. Die that thought.โ She confronted herself one more time as she came down from the cab. She was already at Avery's House. About to make her way inside. A cold shiver ran down her spine, her breath shallow and quick the Moment she made her way inside the house. She had called Avery when she was on her way to visit, so the moment she heard the knock, Avery knew who it was. Anora glared around and noticed something had changed in the sitting room. She noticed some new things that were added to the sitting room, starting from the Television. She noticed it had changed, and their small Air Conditioner was replaced with a bigger one. Avery took a deep breath the moment she no
