Four years ago, Katherine's life shattered when she caught her boyfriend, James, in the arms of another woman. Betrayed and heartbroken, she walked to a local bar, hoping to drown her sorrows. But fate had other plans. After a night of heavy drinking, she woke up in an unfamiliar hotel room, beside a stranger. Regret and panic set in as she scrambled to recall the events of the previous night. The stranger's identity remained unknown until she stumbled upon a business card with his name, "Nathan Alexander" Nathan was her aunt's step son and he believed her aunt ruined his family by getting married to his father and ever since Katherine has been living with her aunt, he never cease to torment her and to think that's the same person she had a night stand with, she became terrified. Out of fear, she stood up, left America that same night, leaving behind the memories of that fateful night. The consequences of her actions soon became apparent when she discovered she was pregnant with triplets. Alone and determined, she built a new life abroad, surrounding herself with her lovely children. Now, Katherine's aunt is celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary, and Katherine has returned home to celebrate with them. But her joy is short-lived. She was shocked to discover that,Nathan, now a powerful and wealthy figure, has been awaiting her return and he had been seeking revenge against Katherine and her aunt.

She could have found a way to escape but her aunt's life would be at stake. But there's a secret that could change everything. The triplets. Nathan remains oblivious to his children's existence, and Katherine was not ready to disclose the secret for fear of him taking her joy givers away. Will Nathan's thirst for revenge consume them all? Or will his heart begin to melt slowly with Love despite their dark past? What will happen when he finds out about his children?
Katherine stormed down the sidewalk, her long, dark hair whipping behind her like a furious entity. The crisp afternoon air did little to calm her racing thoughts. She had been suspecting her boyfriend, James, for weeks, and she had decided to give him a surprise visit. Her heart sank with every step toward his apartment, she just hope it's not as she thought.
At 20, Katherine was a vibrant university student, balancing classes and a part-time job. Her relationship with James had seemed perfect – or so she thought. They had met in their sophomore year, bonding over late-night pizza and study sessions. But lately, James was always laughing over the phone, and if she asked he would say "it's just one of my old friends". Katherine was not ready to ignore the red flags and today seemed to be the day to find out.
She reached his apartment complex and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. The sound of muffled laughter and music drifted through the wood. Her anxiety spiked. She knocked again, harder this time.
The door swung open, revealing James disheveled appearance. He was just with a duvet and he was sweating profusely. His eyes widened as his eyes met with Katherine's. Behind him, a half-naked girl, blonde and curvy, scrambled to cover herself on the bed.
Katherine's world crumbled. Her eyes locked onto the girl, then back to her boyfriend guilty face.
"Who is she?" She asked, her voice trembling.
Katherine stuttered, "Babe, it's not –"
"Don't lie!" She interrupted, her voice rising. "I can see for myself."
The blonde girl, now wrapped in a towel, slunk away, disappearing into the bathroom. James attempted to grasp Katherine's arm, but she slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me with those filthy hands!", She yelled. "How could you, James?" Her tears threatened to fall. "How could you do this to me, was I not enough?"
James expression suddenly turned cold. "You're overreacting, Katherine, It meant nothing."
"Really?", She muttered and began to walk away angrily. She took her steps slowly, hoping he would call out to her but he didn't. Her heart shattered into a million pieces and she ran in tears to God knows where.

Hours passed in a blur as Katherine wandered the streets, numb and tear-stained. Eventually, she found herself at the entrance of a local bar with the name, "drown your sorrows away".
Katherine pushed open the door and slid onto a stool.
"What can I get you?" the bartender asked, eyeing her tear-swollen face.
"Whiskey. Make it a double," she replied, her voice cracking.
As the liquor burned down her throat, she felt her emotions unravel. She ordered another, and another, losing count. The room began to spin.
A gentle voice whispered in her ear, "Hey, you okay?".
Katherine turned to face a stranger – tall, dark-haired, and with a nice polo blouse. His concern seemed genuine.
"I'm fine," she said, waving her hand.
The stranger smiled and sat beside her. "Let's get you another drink" he said and smiled.
She didn't resist. She finds him alluring but she wasn't gonna get carried away by looks anymore. Once bitten twice shy!
"So what in the hell is a damsel like you doing out here?", He started a conversation.
"Just here to drown my sorrows away", she said and he smiled .
"Well, I can help you with that. What about you follow me while I show exactly where to drown your sorrows?", He smirked. Katherine looked at him doubtfully but eventually stood up to follow him.
"This way please", he said as he led her through the passage.
They got to a VIP door and he urged her to go in. "Why should I go in?", She questioned.
"The best way to drown your sorrow is a night stand. It's just to take your mind off things". Katherine didn't think much about this. She just wanted to forget everything and so she pushed the door opened, walked in and the door was shut behind.
A hand grabbed her waist and kissed her hungrily. She didn't know who it was and she didn't care, all she wanted was a distraction and she's getting it.
