My Triplet's One-Night Stand Celebrity Daddy

Chapter 13

(Grayson’s POV)

The sun's brilliant rays woke me up the next morning. I woke up and took a shower after stirring a little. Since today was my only day free, I worked gently on everything. I headed to the living room to watch a rom-com movie after eating breakfast. Others may have thought I was watching the movie, but my thoughts were constantly returning to Eliana. My heartbeat quickened anytime I thought about her.

I may have made the decision to stop thinking about her, but seeing the last scene of the movie I was watching made me more determined to see her again—even if it was just for a brief visit. Therefore, even though it would be extremely risky to see Eliana again, this time, I honestly don't know what came over me, but I was determined to do so.

“Hello sophie?...I know you will chop my head off after hearing what I am going to say, but pls just hear me out” I picked up the phone and dialled Sophie's number, who answered after two rings.

“...Go ahead” Following a little pause, she asked me to go on.

“I want a whole week off. First, this issue is related to my personal life and second, I know you will do this for me because you love me alot. And no further questions about my whereabouts” In order to get everything out of my system without any breaks, I spoke the entire thing in one breath.

“Just one question, whatever you are going to do, is not putting your life on stake?” Her voice was wavy when she inquired, and her concern was obvious.

“Of course not” I replied in a confident tone, and she seemed pleased with my response.

I called one of my buddies after hanging up with her, and he answered the phone on the first ring alone.

“Hey buddy, watsup?” He said in his characteristically animated voice.

“Pls James, for once talk in your usual voice with me. Whenever I call it seems I am speaking to some cartoon character” I sighed as he simply laughed at what I had to say and got right to the subject.

“Ok listen, this is very and I mean very confidential. I don’t want anyone to know about this or else you know me very well how I can be” I said, accentuating the word "very" in a serious tone, and he instantly became his professional self.

“I want you to find out an address for me” I said after getting his go-ahead.

“Only address?”

“Yes”.

“But who’s?” He questioned with curiosity.

“Uh, E-Eliana Dalton” I said in a tremulous tone, and he merely screamed into the phone, cutting my ears out.

“Are you f*****g serious?” After some time, he asked in a still-scratched voice.

“Will you do it or not?”

“Ok, ok man, give me time till tonight and I’ll reach you back with details” He said and hung up the phone. While I was still stressed from all the steps I was taking to find the girl I had been running from for years.

I fidgeted and kept checking my phone throughout the day, expecting him to call. I was finding it harder and harder to focus for the entire day because of my jumbled thoughts.

My phone rang at around ten o'clock at night, and I noticed James's name on it.

“Dude, did you know Eliana had three kids?” In a startling voice he said, the moment I picked up the phone.

“Yes!”

“And how do you know it?...Grayson, is there something you are not telling me?” When I didn't answer his initial inquiry, he followed up with one after that.

“Did you get what I wanted?” I simply requested the information I needed right away, without answering his inquiry.

“Ya man, I have sent the address to you. She is in San Francisco” I cancelled the phone as soon as he said that, but not before thanking him and making reservations for a private jet for tonight.

After packing a bag and telling Sophie that I was going to San Francisco, I gave her the strong directive to keep quiet about it. The very next moment, my car arrived as well, and I simply drove to the airport in the quiet nighttime of Los Angeles without telling anyone about it.

I put on a big hoodie, put on a mask over my face, and entered the airport before getting out of the car. Luckily, nobody recognised me, so I headed straight to a VIP jet passenger lounge. I said hello to the pilot and air hostess and boarded the jet within the following five minutes. I quickly napped during the flight so that I could actively pursue my mission.

When my flight finally touched down, almost six hours later, I had previously requested Sophie to reserve a hotel and a cab for me. As soon as I disembarked from the airport in disguise, my taxi arrived, and we headed to my hotel. I made the decision to see Eliana at night or merely to take a quick look at her residence after checking in.

I dressed and rode the bus to her house at night. It helped me as an actor that no one recognised me. I glanced at the building where she resides as soon as I got off the bus at my intended stop. It was a decent area to live in and, most importantly, quite safe.

I was aimlessly searching for her flat when all of a sudden the light on one of the buildings' balconies turned on. I stepped a little into the dimly lighted room as the door to the second balcony swung open. However, my body froze the moment I noticed the face of the person who had just emerged.

The girl wore spectacles and was wearing her typical pajamas with a tank top, mug, and book in one hand. She took a seat on the couch over to the side. She pulled her hair into a bun before opening her book. Eliana Dalton was the girl who, five years ago, made my life seem still…My Eliana.
