Chapter 40The horror on my face revealed the shock of Alucard's actions, as he had revealed something I had kept secret - the identity of the father of my triplets. When had he gathered the courage to share such information with these people?Even those guests were gasping in shock. Right there and then. I couldn't explain how I could get away from this situation. I breathed in and out when the murmurs were going louder that the people here forgot that they were in the soft opening of this apparel shop. "Your Royal Highness, can we talk?" I asked in my oh-so-sweet tone before taking his hand and dragging him out of that shop. "My woman needs to speak with me. I will be right back, everyone."I gripped his hand even tighter in response to his words, causing Alucard to hiss in discomfort. He chuckled as he struggled to keep pace with me, realizing that I was leading him into a narrow alleyway.But he gasped and smiled sheepishly when I slammed his back to the wall. "My, my. Aren't w

Chapter 42"What? Can't do it?" I asked, smiling meaningfully. I even had to flip my long hair cascading down my shoulders. "I need to be entertained. Don't you think that you need to heed my wishes?" I took a sip on my wine glass when Alfredo was not even smiling anymore."For all the encounters I had been through with you, I had really wanted to get back to you, even if my actions were petty." Those words wanted to come out of my mouth, but I was sitting here comfortably, watching him sigh before he removed his mask and chuckled. I almost inhaled sharply, tightening my hold on my wine glass upon seeing that handsome face he was hiding."How did you know that it was me?" Alfredo asked, his eyes glowing in amusement. Or must I say... Alucard.I forced a bitter smile. "I just realized... now," I paused, my frown deepening as he stood up, revealing his chiseled body. Gazing at him, I had a sinking feeling that this would become the worst day of my life. I should have known... Why did I

Chapter 44"Daddy, how did you know to braid? Did Mommy teach you?" Luciana asked as soon as she was ushered by her father while I was handling to take care on dressing up with Lumiere and Liutrich.We had been here in Alucard's castle since yesterday when it was supposed to be tomorrow. My triplets had been insisting on seeing him and I had to notify their father immediately. Alucard did not hesitate to welcome them with open arms and cleared his schedule as soon as he learned that we were coming."I asked your Auntie Novalie to teach me because I have my Luciana to impress. Also, your Uncle Alistair and Uncle Alejandro also learned from her because they need to braid my niece, Arthemice," Alucard said softly, his expression softening when he saw that fishtail braid was success.Luciana looked satisfied at his answer before turning to me. "Mommy, how do I look?"Finishing the bow tie for Lumiere and Liutrich, my lips graced by a smile. "You look pretty, sweetie."She giggled before A

Chapter 46My insides clenched at Grand Alpha King Apollo's words. I was in disbelief, silent that he was blaming me and that I taught my children about the history. Even I was surprised when Luciana asked her Uncle Azarius about his former ex-wife and Luna Queen.I began to speak to offer my apologies, sensing the deep emotional history between his son and his former daughter-in-law, but before I could, Alucard interjected, saying, "Father."His tone was chilling, bringing me back to that painful moment from years ago. I felt like I was reliving the day when Alucard had rejected me. My hands grew clammy, my lips trembled, and a rush of nightmarish memories washed over me, leaving me paralyzed in their wake.Even with his face matured, the expression remained the same, looking at his father with solemnity. "Faustina is unaware of what happened with Brother Azarius and Macedonia's past. I need you to refrain from acting hostile against my former mate."Chills coursed through my body as

Chapter 48I shoved my body to the bed as soon as Alucard and I had fulfilled our duty to the triplets, who had decided to retire to their designated chambers. The whole day was a mess, and I couldn't get over to the part where my kids asked for another sibling."What had just gotten into their heads that they want another sibling?" I asked myself, recalling that moment when they said that thing.Even Alucard was taken aback by their questions; it seemed he hadn't anticipated this line of inquiry. I briefly wondered if he had somehow orchestrated their curiosity, but the genuine surprise in his expression suggested otherwise.I decided to freshen up, silently contemplating what happened to this day. It was evident now that Alucard's father did not like me, and based on Novalie's words, it seemed like she also experienced the attitude of her father-in-law. But observing him, he did not have any ill attitude on her, but it was most direct on me. No doubt. "What matters most is they did
