My Triplet's One-Night Stand Celebrity Daddy

Chapter 12

(Grayson’s POV)

It's true that you have no control over life. The same thing happened to me today. The girl who had been capturing my thoughts every night for the previous five years was now in front of me. My body froze the second Eliana turned around. Everything seemed to come to a standstill. That night's memories came flooding back to me like a pack of horses. Now all I could see with my eyes was the one female in this life who had won my heart. Eliana Dalton is my one and only.

Even though I didn't have any relationship with her sons, the time I spent with them seemed ideal to me. Perhaps since she was right in front of me, the entire event seemed to stand out in my memory. I felt like I had a connection to those kids for once, but as soon as I learned that she had another person in her heart, everything fell apart.

I was still sitting in the same spot where I had a conversation or you can say tried to have one with her, until my phone rang and snapped me out of my reverie.

“Where the f*****g hell are you?” Sophie's angry voice was audible even through the phone the moment I picked it up.

“Uh, in a…cafe” I spoke very softly, but I knew she could hear me, and the next instant, I received the greatest curses ever.

“COME BACK RIGHT NOW!” She emphasised every phrase and hung up before she could hear my reply. Sadly, I had to get up and depart from the serene cafe.

After about an hour, I arrived at the hotel and walked straight to my room, where my devil manager, who took my life, was waiting for me with an angry expression on her face. Her eyes looked at me like they were about to rip me to pieces the moment she saw me walk in.

“Do you want me to die so young?” I just stood there guiltily with my head down, but she shouted that with her hands on her hips and her nose flaring in annoyance.

“ANSWER ME!” Even though it wasn't the first time she had screamed at me, I still cringed at the sound of her voice when I didn't respond.

“I-I just wanted to have…hot chocolate fudge” I said softly and stepped away from how she was viewing me.

“Hot chocolate fudge? REALLY?...For that you risked getting caught by the media? Are you crazy?” She said, waving her hands erratically in the air.

“But no one…saw” I attempted to reason with her, but she simply gave me a startled look and said that I still had the guts to argue with her.

“This is LAST warning for you, if you do any stunt like this again I will kill you myself” She gave me a threat unlike anything I had ever experienced, and every word she said was full of reality.

I apologised to her a thousand times, then she walked back to her room to get ready for the flight, and I quickly showered and got ready before heading downstairs to meet everyone. The entire trip Sophie pretended to be silent, but it was obvious that she was trying to let me know how upset she is with me this time.

“You have only one day off after we land and after that you are back to work…” When we were seated on the aeroplane, she started fiercely, but I cut her off in the middle.

“But you said I had the whole week off!” I crossed my arms in front of my chest and whimpered like a baby in front of her.

“That was before but after your new stunt tonight, I am revoking that deal and if you argue one more time I’ll cut off your given leave as well” She spoke between clenched teeth, and at that very moment, I stopped complaining and simply stared out the window at the sky.

To outsiders, it would have appeared as though I was just viewing the sky, but in my mind, I was picturing Eliana's face among those clouds—her smile, her hair flip, or her kisses on her children.

I've been keeping my feelings for her hidden for the past five years, but today a door opened and my love for her surfaced once more. Despite knowing that she is someone else's, I can't seem to put my feelings for her back, no matter how hard I try.

My thoughts were solely focused on her during the entire period, but as soon as I stepped outside of the flight, I pushed her back and was resolved to return to my task with undivided attention.

“I am leaving now but if I heard that you did the same stunt again, swear to god Grayson I’ll chop you into pieces” Sophie remarked as she walked away from my penthouse without saying goodbye to me.

I relaxed into my house clothes and made myself comfy in bed after taking a nice, long bath. My phone rang just as my eyes were starting to become heavy and I was about to fall asleep. I groaned at the sound of the phone.

“WHAT?” Before even seeing the caller ID, I yelled as soon as I grabbed it up.

“Now this is not a way to talk to your mother, Mr.” The voice said in a mocking tone.

“Stepmother, for your kind information Mrs Scott” She had yet to tell me why she had phoned, and I was starting to dread this talk.

“Whatever, your father asked me to invite you for dinner the day after tomorrow. And pls get ready as a gentleman” After she finished the last bit, I ended the call, placed a pillow on my head, and sighed just thinking about the approaching dinner.

“Why are you not with me? Why does everyone leave me? Am I that bad, mom?” After a minute, I checked my phone's gallery and selected the album containing all of my mother's pictures. As soon as I clicked on it, tears started to fall from my eyes. The mother who used to treat me like royalty, the one who gave me morning kisses first, and the one who would always give me a hug when I was feeling low, was now gone forever.

“I miss you mom, I miss you alot… I wish you could be here with me…I love you mom, forever” I gave her a picture, a kiss, lay down with the phone resting on my chest, and closed my eyes, dreaming that my mother was sitting next to me with a sweet smile on her face.
