Chapter 5

"I can't." Came Octavia's response. 

"But we need to see Daddy." Thor bursted. "Every other kids have Daddy, we are the only ones with no daddy. It's so depressing."

Hearing this, tears filled up Octavia's face. Years ago, she had thought about if it was a good idea to let Lachlan Williams know about the kids. But she wasn't sure if he will receive the kids with open arms, after all, it was just one night stand between them. 

Now that she eventually found out he's the CEO of the largest Cooperation in the city, she start to reconsider about telling him about the kids. She had heard tales of how billionaire men forcefully take their child away from their baby mama. 

When she heard him say he is the only heir to a drug Lord, she knew telling him about the kids was a NO. If his personal assistants were killed by the people trying to hurt him, what will be the fate of her kids should those enemies of his come for them? She can't put her kids in danger in the name of trying to o get them to know their daddy. 

Octavia's eyes became blurry that her vision became obscured, she almost hit a big car as a result. At the end, the mother and sextuplets arrived home. After leading the six kids inside, she went depressingly to the kitchen. While cooking what her children will eat for the evening, the her two girls walked in. 

"Mommy..." Zelda, one of the girls called. 

Octavia quickly cleaned the tears spilling repeatedly out of her face before turning to her two cute little girls, "hey... What are you girls doing here?" 

"Mommy, are you crying?" Zara, the second girl asked. 

Octavia smiled boringly. "Not at all. I'm fine. I've just been washing the dishes."

"Don't be mad at Thor, mom."

"I'm not. He deserves to know who his daddy is." Octavia kept forcing smile out of her lips. 

Zara and Zelda exchanged glanced then Zara said to Octavia, "I did not mean to snitch but we heard Thor telling Titus, Theodore and Thane that he would meet up with Mr. Lachlan again on Monday." 

"In case you want to stop him." Zelda added. 

"Thank you dear. I'll definitely stop him from doing that." Octavia pecked her two little girls and ruffled their hair then went back to the dishes. Then her mind trailed to the wedding ceremony of her ex husband that she must attend tomorrow. 

The fact that she will have to see that cheater eyeball to eyeball again... gross!

The following day came by quickly, Octavia stepped down from the company's car that brought her to this high end hotel where Cullan's wedding is being held. She could see all sorts of super exorbitant cars parked in the garage of the hotel. From the entrance of the hotel, one could tell that a gigantic wedding was being held. 

Cullan was just average when it comes to wealth as at the time they were married, it seems he had being able to work his way up the ladder of power. 

Octavia then walked towards the hall the wedding is being held with her head held up high. As soon as she walked in, she noticed that almost everyone were dressed in a particular way. It was as though there was a dress code that everyone was supposed to follow. That made her feel somewhat awkward and out of place. 

Why didn't Lachlan Williams tell her about this? 

She soon found a seat for herself. She knew that sooner or later, she will be recognized as Lachlan William's proxy and invited to the special guests seat. Lachlan Williams excells the most in the business world, there was no way his presence will be overlooked. 

While trying to adapt to the environment, she heard a bit of an applause and cheers and then she looked towards where everywhere was staring at. Shock was palpable on her look. 

She knew Cullan was getting married, yes but what she didn't know know was that he was getting married to the woman he cheated on her with six years ago. 

She swallowed, feeling slightly uncomfortable. There were a few people escorting them as they walked in, she tried to take her face away from them but she soon felt someone staring intensively at her. 

She finally turned and then saw that it was Salome that was staring at her. She watched as she whispered to Cullan's ear. Cullan paused in his track, so was the entourage that was walking with them. When people saw Cullan staring at a particular direction, since he was the figure of attention for the day, everyone also followed suite. 

With all these many eyes on her, Octavia still tried to maintain a calm demeanor. 

Cullan walked towards her while Salome followed suite. "Where have you been, Octavia?" Cullan's voice was soft and sweet and that made Salome bite her lips in rage. Her fingers were clenched so hard and she felt like hitting Octavia in the face. 

Did Cullan still have feelings for her? Octavia wondered. It's been six years that this bitch had dissapeared, why did she suddenly come on their wedding day? 

"Babe, let's ignore her, there are too many eyes on us." Salome chirped. If people see her husband to be, acting all affectionate towards another woman, it's a thing of shame for her. People will make up all sorts of rumors and conclude that their love wasn't real. Salome thought. 

To evade this awkward situation, Octavia stood, "Hi, Mr. Cullan, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Lachlan Williams, we are so sorry he couldn't make it but rest assured this wedding is a top priority to him." She said with a professional smile. 

Cullan squinted his eyes. The idea of his wedding with Salome suddenly became disgusting to him. Octavia is the woman he had always loved. Although he got angry that she had sex with someone else after she caught him in the same room with Salome. 

But the truth was, he hadn't even had sex with Salome as at the time Octavia caught them in the same room.  

And how in the world did Octavia became a representative of his boss, Lachlan Williams. He had served under Lachlan Williams for years and eventhough he does not have direct access to him, he had been honored twice as the most hardworking staff in the company.  

Cullan nodded repeatedly, while staring at her pretty face. He mumbled, "I've missed you!"

Then he turned to the crowd, "This wedding is cancelled!"
