The Triplet's Dad Is A Billionaire

Chapter 3: Who is that kid?

Narrator's POV

After Veronica suddenly uttered those words, she became anxious. Veronica realized that she would be audacious because of what she said.

Jacob arched his brow after he heard what Veronica wanted. Jacob never thought that Steven could even sleep with a woman.

Jacob laughed before he said, “Wait for a second. I will ask him about what you want.”

Jacob quickly sent a message to Steven, and at that time, Steven was talking with an essential person in the nearby city.

Steven found news about his father, so from the start, when he woke up, he disregarded the woman who was sleeping beside him. He couldn't wait to interrogate the man who brought the news about his father.

Steven's cell phone vibrated and read what Jacob had sent him.

‘The woman that you had slept with was named Veronica. I think she is Adler Thompson's daughter. She told me that she wanted to marry you. Do you agree with what she asks for in return?’

Steven glanced at the man who was on the ground because he had been beaten to death. There was a lot of blood all over the man's body.  The man was repeatedly screaming in pain.

After Steven read the messages, he replied, ‘Yes, I'm fine with it. Let her go home to Thompson's house so she can prepare. I will send someone to talk to them for our marriage then.’

Steven thought he would never get married as soon as he was alive. Steven had a problem because whenever a woman approached him, he would get an allergic rash.

Even though what happened last night with the woman was an accident. He agreed to marry her in return since everything happened too fast. At least he could also be satisfied when he's married. Maybe that woman that he had slept with could also conceive a child for the Muller family.

After Jacob got Steven to reply, he smiled at Melissa before he spoke, “Veronica, Steven is busy with important things that he needs to do today, but he agreed to marry you, and he will propose to Thompson….”

Veronica couldn't hear Jacob's following words clearly, but she agreed. Veronica was so excited to say the good news to her family that she almost fainted.

Avalynn doesn't know everything that has happened.  She went in the taxi, and all she thought about was being home now.

Avalynn's POV

As soon as I reached the apartment, the door opened, and I saw Adam and Annabelle rush toward me.

“Mommy! Finally, you're back here!”

“Mommy, I miss you so much!”

After I heard my children talking to me simultaneously, I heard Annabelle's cries while Adam was watching his sister. A tear formed in my eyes, so I quickly hugged them tightly. I missed them, too. I was worried that something terrible might happen to them while I was in the taxi. And I felt that I could sigh in relief that they were safe.

“Adam. Annabelle. I'm sorry that Mommy didn't make it to go home last night. I got in an accident, baby. I don't want you two to get worried about me. Please, don't cry. Mommy loves you two very much.” My explanation made Annabelle cry, so I embraced her tightly.

“Mom, I'm glad you are safe,” Adam muttered, and his face was severe. I was stunned when I saw my son's face; he had the same face as the man I slept with last night.

I was confused because how was it possible that the man looked like Adam? My headache was because there were a lot of questions in my mind that I wanted to get the answer to.

“Mommy, what happened last night? You told us that you got in an accident, right?” Adam asked me.

Adam was the eldest of my children. He had a calm expression, like how he always looked at me. I stopped for a moment because Adam was curious about me. Maybe, he thought that it was strange that I didn't go home for the whole night, and he wanted to know the valid reasons why I didn't come home.

“I met someone who could help me to work in a big company. It offered me a lot of money, but when I went to the hotel's first floor, I accidentally met your grandfather. He told me that he wanted to talk with me so we could talk about my grandparents' tomb. But he deceived me. He was the reason why I didn't come home last night.” I don't want to lie to my children.

I was working as an artist and designer. Lately, I met someone who was working for a big company in Los Angeles. That company had a lot of clients, which made me eagerly try. I went to them to discuss the offer, but I didn't know what would happen next.

My father deceived me with his intention,  put something in my drink that made me faint, and he almost sold me.

Although, what happened next to me was so traumatic. I didn't want to tell them about the man I had slept with. All I said to them was I hid for the whole night so my father wouldn't capture me, and so I could go home for them.

“Oh, to check everything, Adam, why don't you check the people who lived in the hotel room last night? If you can find the surveillance videos, it will be even better.”

My son, Adam, was a genius. He knew how to hack, and I know that I couldn't sleep properly because of the man that I met last night.

I know that man was so wealthy, and he looks so much like Adam. I'm afraid that my children wouldn't be safe because of their father's position if he were the father of my child. I was worried that once he found out about Adam and Annabelle, I might not keep her because of his power.

“Mommy, you don't need to worry about everything. Rest assured that I will you to investigate everything.” Adam assured me, which made me sigh in relief.

“Mommy, when I grow up, I promise that I won't let those bad people bully you in the future,” Annabelle spoke sweetly at me which made me smile.

I couldn't stop myself from examining my daughter's body.  Annabelle was pale, and so thin which made me feel sad, as my heart tore into a lot of pieces.

I just need to find Dr. Klaus, who was the top cardiologist in the world. He was the only one who can operate for Annabelle.

My daughter's heart was getting weaker, and weaker. And without the surgery, Annabelle might not live to be six years old.

Two days later, I had a client who buy my portfolio. I was amazed that it was sold for 500,000 dollars.

Narrator's POV

For the moment, Veronica got a proposal from the Muller family. Adler and Sarah were thrilled.

“Veronica, why did Steven Muller send his secretary for your wedding proposal? I thought he is the one who will show up since we were talking about your marriage!”  Sarah exclaimed. Sarah was excited for her daughter to marry Steven Muller but when Steven asked someone to propose to their family, she was disappointed.

“It is disappointing if we will look at a woman's perspective but a person who was like Steven Muller, we all know that he was too busy, and that is why he is his secretary here in our house. He is known to be busy but he still asked someone to propose to our daughter for his sake. Sarah, we need to make everything precious in our eyes. And I know that Veronica is honestly prepared for her upcoming wedding.” Adler rebutted.

Adler wanted to jump for joy to celebrate what Veronica got. While Veronica didn't even mind if she didn't meet Steven. She was excited whenever she was thinking that she had a big chance to marry a powerful man like Steven Muller.

Steven was known for being a well-known businessman coming from a rich family in Los Angeles. He was known to be smart when it comes to managing 100 billion dollars at a young age. Aside from that, he was good-looking.

Veronica thought that as long as she married Steven, all of the people in the city would be madly jealous of her.

Those people, who looked down on her would do everything to please her. They would be shamed for degrading her once whenever they think about what they had done to her.

“Wait, Dad, did you successfully locate Avalynn? She will be difficult to deal with, and I can't let her ruin my upcoming wedding.”  When Veronica went home, she informed Adler, and Sarah about what she did to make Steven Muller marry her, and they supported her in doing it.

“You won't need to worry about it because I already send someone to look at Avalynn. That ungrateful child. But, she's hiding so hard and I think it will take some time to find her.” Adler replied and gave Veronica an evil smirk.

“I promise that I will do anything not to leave her alive. Just be honest with us and don't let your friends know about this.” Adler added.

Veronica smiled in victory. It seemed that she would be the future wife of Steven Muller. Everyone would bow, and crawl at her feet to get her attention.

Avalynn's POV

I went out at night when I learned that Adam had found out about the route of Dr. Klaus.

Klaus was unreachable, and he had disappeared a few years ago. But now, finally, I found the trace to talk with him. I needed to find a way to see Dr. Klaus whatever it causes.

“Mommy, I checked the surveillance camera, and I saw that Dr. Klaus entered the fifth floor of the Red Hanson's Hotel.  Wait..” Adam stopped.

“Okay, it showed that he went inside room 504. We can give it a try.” Adam added.

I didn't go out alone to see Dr. Klaus because Adam kept insisting that he needed to be close to the monitor, so he could help me anytime. So, I didn't have a choice but to take Adam to the hotel that he mentioned.

“Ok. Let's take the elevator so we can go there fast.” I mumbled, which made Adam nod at me.

I made sure that Adam and I were in disguise.  I didn't want someone to know about my identity. So we put on the sunglasses when we walk towards the elevator.

We were about to come out from the elevator when I saw a group of men coming in towards the elevator. But, what made me scared, and almost fall was the man, who was in front of me. He was the man that I unexpectedly slept with last night.

My sight fell on my son, who had a similar face to the man. Fear enveloped my heart, and my forehead started sweating.

“Adam, let's run! Don't let the man in front of us see your face.” I was in a panic when I held Adam's hand. I turned around and hurriedly pressed the elevator button again so it would close and go down.

But it was too fast when the man caught my shoulders to stop me from running away.

“Why are you avoiding me?” The man said, which made me terrified.

What does this man want from me? Oh, my hands trembled when I thought that Adam was around with me. He might be wearing sunglasses but what should I do if the man I slept with saw Adam's face?

“Hey! I'm talking to you, and who is that kid?”
