THE TRIPLETS' SECRET FATHER
Chapter 1-
Christine had just finished her morning coffee when her phone rang. She looked at the caller's ID and saw that it was her husband.She answered the phone and greeted him with a cheerful "Good morning!"Hey, Christine," her husband said.
"How are you doing? I'm doing well," Christine replied. "I'm just getting ready to head out to work. "Okay, great," her husband said. "I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. I miss you." "I miss you too," Christine said. "But I'll be home soon.I just have to finish up some work stuff. "Okay, that sounds good," her husband said. "I love you. "I love you too," Christine said, and they hung up.
Christine finished getting ready for work and headed out the door.As she walked to her car, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
She had been working long hours lately, and she knew that her husband was starting to feel neglected. She got into her car and started driving to work.As she drove, she thought about her conversation with her husband.
She knew that she needed to make more time for him, but she also knew that her job was important.When she arrived at work, she went straight to her office and started working. She had a lot of projects to finish, and she wanted to make sure that everything was done on time.A few hours later, Christine's phone beeped.
She looked at it and saw that she had a text message.She opened the message and saw that it was from her boss, Welbeck. "Meet me at our usual hotel tonight; I have a surprise for you," the message read.Christine's heart skipped a beat. She had been working closely with Welbeck on a big project, but she had never expected him to ask her to meet him at a hotel.
She didn't know what to do.She knew that she couldn't say no to her boss, but she also knew that meeting him at a hotel was inappropriate.Christine took a deep breath and decided to call her husband.She needed to talk to him about what had just happened.
"Hey, Christine," her husband said when he answered the phone. "Hey, honey," Christine said. "I need to talk to you about something."Okay, what's up?" her husband asked. "I just got a text message from my boss," Christine said. "He wants me to meet him at a hotel tonight."Her husband was silent for a moment. "That doesn't sound good," he finally said. "I know," Christine said. "I don't know what to do.
I can't say no to my boss, but I also don't want to do anything inappropriate. "I understand," her husband said."But you need to be careful. You don't want to do anything that could jeopardize your job or our relationship," Christine said."I just needed to talk to you about it. I don't know what to do." Let me think about it," her husband said. "I'll call you back in a little bit." "Okay," Christine said.
"Thanks, honey." Christine hung up the phone and tried to focus on her work. But she couldn't stop thinking about the text message from her boss. She knew that she needed to be careful, but she also didn't want to let her boss down.
A few hours later, her phone rang again. It was her husband. "Hey, Christine," he said. "I've been thinking about what you told me earlier." "Yeah?" Christine said. "I think you should tell your boss that you can't meet him at the hotel," her husband said."It's not appropriate, and it could lead to trouble. "I know," Christine said.
"But I don't want to let him down. He's counting on me to finish this project. "I understand," her husband said. "But you need to think about what's best for you and us.You don't want to do anything that could hurt your job or our relationship. "I know," Christine said. "You're right. I'll tell him that I can't meet him at the hotel. "Good," her husband said."I'm proud of you, Christine. You're doing the right thing. Thanks, honey," Christine said. "I love you. "I love you too," her husband said, and they hung up. Christine took a deep breath and composed a text message to her boss."Sorry, I can't meet you at the hotel tonight. I have other plans," she wrote. She hit send and waited for a response.
A few minutes later, her phone beeped again. "Okay, no problem," her boss replied."We can meet at the office tomorrow." Christine breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that she had made the right decision, and she was glad that her husband had been there to support her.She scrolled through her messages and saw that her husband had sent her another text. "I'm proud of you, Christine," the message read. "You're doing great." Christine smiled and felt a warm feeling in her heart.Christine's happy face suddenly changed. She knew she was trying to play her husband's mind, but she acted innocent.
"Well, I'm done convincing my husband about how you forcefully sent a message that I should come and meet you; he's now fully aware that I'm having an association meeting and I will come back the next day.""Wow, you're so smart, I can't stop loving you. I was even confused when you turned the offer down." Welbeck said it in a hurry and blurted it out.Welbeck said on the other line, "Hmm, I guess tonight is going to be the greatest of all."Welbeck exclaimed and said bye before hanging up the call.Christine moved away from the desk and started to pack up. She ordered a special outfit for the occasion and called Welbeck's driver to come and pick her off from work.
****Later in the evening, at 8:15 p.m.
It was a stormy night, the kind of night where the wind howled relentlessly and the rain poured in powerful surges. Inside the hotel ballroom, the party raged on, with the guests dancing and drinking, seemingly oblivious to the weather outside.Among the revellers was Christine, a stunningly beautiful woman with cascading blonde hair and emerald green eyes.
Christine was a married woman, but she found herself drawn to her boss, a charismatic and handsome gentleman named Welbeck.Christine became increasingly intoxicated, with the alcohol fueling her bravado.
She found herself flirting outrageously with Welbeck, basking in the attention he lavished on her.They laughed and joked, the chemistry between them palpable, sparking in the air like a live wire.
Before long, Welbeck offered to escort her back to her hotel room, and Christine, giddy with excitement, agreed eagerly.As they tumbled onto the plush hotel bed, they fell into a frenzy of ecstasy, the passion between them exploding like fireworks.
Christine could hardly believe what was happening, overwhelmed by the wild, illicit desire coursing through her veins.Welbeck was everything she had ever wanted in a man, and she surrendered herself completely to him, letting the force of their desire carry her away.
But as the storm outside raged on, Christine's mind started to clear, and she slowly began to realize the gravity of what she had done.She was married, and she had just cheated on her husband with her boss but always pretended to love her husband.She felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, the knowledge of her betrayal weighing heavily on her conscience.Welbeck's heart raced with anticipation as he waited for Christine to arrive.
It had been days he had been busy at company meetings, and it had been more than three days since they last saw each other, and the longing in his heart had only grown stronger.
The secrecy of their affair added an element of thrill and danger to their encounters, making their stolen moments together all the more precious.As Christine walked into the dimly lit room, a smile spread across Welbeck's face.
He could see the mixture of excitement and guilt in her eyes, mirroring his own emotions.It was a bittersweet feeling, knowing that their love was forbidden but unable to resist the pull they felt towards each other. "Ermm, anyways, I'm thinking about my daughter because she's not getting my attention." Christine hesitated, her voice filled with concern. "I hope my husband doesn't find out that I'm here with you."
Welbeck reached out and gently held her hand, reassuring her with his touch. "Worry not, my love. I'm here for you, and I understand the complexities of your situation. I promise to cherish and protect our secret for as long as you need me."Christine's eyes softened, gratitude and affection shining through." Thank you, Welbeck. You have no idea how much your understanding means to me. It's not easy being torn between my responsibilities as a wife and mother and the love I have for you.
"Welbeck pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "I may not be able to give you the life you deserve, but I can offer you my unwavering love and support.Together, we can find peace in these stolen moments and create our little world where nothing else matters."As they embraced each other, the weight of their secret love seemed to momentarily fade away.
In each other's arms, they found solace from the pressures of their respective lives.Welbeck's love for Christine was unconditional, even though she was married to another man.He understood the complexities of her situation and was willing to stand by her side, no matter the cost.Their stolen moments together became their sanctuary, a place where they could forget about the outside world and focus solely on their love for each other.
They would often meet in hidden corners of the city, exploring new places and creating memories that would last a lifetime.Each encounter was filled with stolen kisses, whispered promises, and a love that burned passionately.However, as time went on, the guilt and fear began to weigh heavily on Christine's heart.She loved Welbeck deeply, but the thought of her husband discovering their affair haunted her every waking moment.She couldn't bear the thought of losing her family, yet she couldn't deny the love she felt for Welbeck.
Christine made the difficult decision to end their affair.It was a painful choice, but one she believed was necessary to protect her family. Welbeck understood her decision, though it tore his heart apart.
**** 6'Oclock,MORNING ~
The next morning, Christine woke up alone, her head pounding with a throbbing hangover.She felt sick to her stomach as she remembered the events of the previous night.
The memory of her infidelity was a heavy weight on her heart.She dressed quickly, determined to leave before Welbeck returned, her thoughts consumed by the guilt and shame she felt.As she walked back to her hotel room, Christine pondered the mistakes she had made and the consequences of her actions.
She knew that she had crossed a line and that she could never go back.She had betrayed the trust of her husband, the man she had vowed to love and cherish above all others, and she knew that she could never undo the hurt she had caused him.The rain continued to pour down relentlessly as she walked, the wind howling and biting at her skin.
Christine couldn't help but feel that the storm was a metaphor for the turmoil in her own heart and the pain she had inflicted on the man she loved.She loved her husband deeply, but she had been foolish and had acted recklessly, and she knew that she would have to live with the guilt of her actions for the rest of her life.As she stepped into her hotel room, Christine knew that she had made a grave mistake, one that she could never undo.At that moment, she vowed to do whatever it took to regain her husband's trust and make amends for the damage that she had caused.
She knew that it would be a long and difficult road, but she was determined to do whatever it took to make it right with the man she loved.After an hour, she got back to her house and saw Robert sitting on a couch in the restroom."You are late today."
Her husband asked with a soft voice."We had a lot of tasks to complete at work; I would have come early, but the downpour took part of my time.".She said it hurriedly and excused herself to take a shower.
Christine had just come out of the shower, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.She had been feeling very tired lately, and a mid-morning break had been exactly what she needed.She had put on her comfy robe and slippers and settled down on the couch to read a book when her husband, Robert, walked in."Hey, babe, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at work?" Robert asked curiously.
Christine felt a sudden twinge of guilt. She knew she was supposed to be at work, but she just didn't feel like going today.She had been feeling overworked lately and desperately needed a break, but she didn't want to come clean to her husband."Uh, my boss granted me a day off, so I decided to take advantage of it and just relax at home," she responded, trying to sound convincing.Robert didn't buy it. "That doesn't sound like you, Christine. What's going on? Are you feeling okay?"Christine was starting to feel uncomfortable. She had always been an honest person, but she didn't want to admit the truth to her husband. "I'm fine, Robert. I just needed a day to myself, you know."Robert looked at Christine suspiciously. "Something's not right. You can tell me anything, Christine. You know that, right?"Christine sighed, knowing that she couldn't keep up the act any longer. "Okay, fine. I just needed a break. I've been feeling so tired and burned out lately, and I just couldn't bring myself to go to work today."Robert nodded in understanding. "I see. You know, Christine, it's okay to take a break when you need it. You don't have to be 'on' all the time. Just make sure you're taking care of yourself and doing what's best for you."Christine couldn't believe how understanding her husband was. She felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Thanks, Robert. You're right. I need to take better care of myself and not push myself so hard."Robert leaned in and gave her a reassuring kiss. "That's my girl. Now let's order some takeout, watch a movie, and just relax today."
"I hate you !" Clara muttered at him."What did I do?!" He replied, looking shocked and slightly hurt. "Well, for starters, you are a total jackass, oh, and you stabbed me in the back, Literally!." "You're still upset about that? Women are confusing... Lucifer shook his head and sighed."Stop fighting like a girl," He said in a mocking tone, which didn't faze Clara at all. "You know what, Mr. billionaire, the majority of a man using just fits to fight, if I fought like a girl I would rip your head off with my nails or teeth and yes,you would beg me to stop." “Have you come this far to accomplish your half-done chaos as in heaven?” Clara asked Lucifer while making eyeball contact with him. “That's just a myth, and some people chose to abuse our name. Anyway, I never did any evil and am here to do better” Lucifer replied sounding all innocent while still carrying the groceries I bought in the store. “Tell that to a kid. Not to Clara!” I flared up. But in all, he was still gazing at my eyeballs. “To you, it might sound like a fallacy, but I mean what I just said!” He replied while still wearing his smiley face. “What exactly do you want from me?” Clara angrily questioned him. “Your heart!" He said... Those were the conversations between Lucifer and Clara who had awful experiences when first they met. Clara developed an unquantifiable hatred for men because of how his dad treated his mother, and that stiffened her heart from falling in love with men. Lucifer who never cared whether he was welcome or not kept placing his request expecting to have a positive response. His conclusion was to either get what he wanted or die in the process.
