Owned By Her Triplet Bullies
Chapter 134

Ximena's

POV

I got back home so late last night that I met the kids asleep. I was planning on having a conversation with them regarding the triplets. They still think I had no idea that the triplets had been going to their school every single day. I found out from one of the kids' mothers at their school. She was fawning over the triplets asking me if I've ever met them after showing me a picture of them in school. After that, I went to their teacher and asked her about it. She admitted that it was true and the triplets went daily to see the twins. She told me she only allowed them because the twins told them I knew about it and because they looked harmless.

Those darn looks of theirs, capable of deceiving anyone. I had to give it to the twins though. They did a great job deceiving me these past few weeks. I got out of bed and headed downstairs after getting dressed for work.

"Good morning mummy. Did you sleep well?" Madison asked with a bright smile. Mason had a blank look on his face as they ate breakfast. The nanny collected my bag and pulled out a chair for me. I sat down and stared at both of them. Madison kept smiling widely at me. She was getting exceptionally good at deceiving me. I thought Mason was the only one good at that.

"Are you both hiding anything from me?" I asked seriously, picking up my cup of coffee. Cole's absence was very obvious at the dining table. If he was present, he would have been making silly jokes and asking me not to scold the twins. He had left me a brief message informing me that he was leaving for an important business. I knew it was a lie and he was only leaving to avoid me but could I blame him? I knew he was feeling hurt due to our last encounter and only needs time to heal and I totally understand that. He was a good person and I felt really bad for hurting his feelings.

"What are you talking about? Are you upset because we didn't tell you daddy was leaving?" Madison asked.

"Not that. Any other thing?" I inquired.

"Madison ate an extra chocolate bar despite having a toothache," Mason said. Madison gasped.

"How could you? You said you wouldn't tell. In that case, I won't keep your secret too. Mason has been going to bed late. He plays video games all night long. Take a look at his puffy eyes, it's enough proof," she retorted pointing to his eyes. And thus, the bickering began. I rubbed my head tiredly.

"Kids, have you been seeing anyone in school that I don't know of?" I asked. They glanced at each other sharply.

"Who would we see in school?" Madison asked with a chuckle.

"I found out everything. Did you think you would keep lying to me and I wouldn't replace out? Who taught you all this?" I asked in disbelief.

"Technically, we didn't lie. We just hid part of the truth from you," Mason replied, catching onto what I meant. I stared at the six-year-old boy tongue-tied. And at that moment, I saw the exact replica of Alex. He didn't stutter or tremble instead he was trying to justify his actions.

"It's still called lying Mason. You both deceived me. Why didn't you tell me they were visiting you? What if you both got hurt?" I asked. "They won't hurt us," he replied.

"I'm not saying they will hurt you. All I'm saying is you are still kids, don't trust strangers easily. This world isn't as it seems. Learn to be careful and tell me whenever something is going on. Do you both understand?" I asked sternly. Madison burst into tears suddenly.

"We are sorry mummy. We didn't mean to lie, it was so hard. But, we were scared you would get angry and take us away from our daddy. We don't want that. We want to be with them. Why don't you just reconcile and let us be with them," she cried. I hurriedly stood up from my chair and walked towards her.

"Don't cry princess, please don't cry," I consoled her, feeling myself tear up as well.

"Sorry mummy but we just want to be with them. We always thought that we didn't have a daddy like other kids. Why didn't you tell us when you remembered?" she sniffled. I wiped her tears with my hands gently.

"Nobody is stopping you from being with your daddy if that's what you want. I won't take you away. I only thought I was doing what was best for you. Don't cry," I said. Her eyes lightened up.

"You won't stop us from meeting them?" she asked skeptically. I suddenly heard the horn of a car. I stood up wondering who it was.

"Daddy is here," Madison announced happily.

"What!" I exclaimed, turning around quickly.

"You said you wouldn't stop us from meeting them. They came here to drop us off at school. You made a promise mummy, you can't go back on your words. Common Mason, let's go," she squealed, dragging Mason by the arm. She skipped towards the door. How do they even communicate!! I asked myself. "Yet people say I'm the cunning one," I heard Mason grumble.

"Come out soon mummy. Don't keep us waiting," she said in a sing-song voice. I sighed. I just got tricked by my six-year-old daughter. I tidied up my hair and took a deep breath before gently walking outside. Madison was in Julian's arms while Philip was holding onto Mason.

"You didn't tell me you were coming," I said to them.

"Good morning to you too. You look lovely," Julian complimented.

"That wasn't the answer to my question," I retorted.

"Mummy look, it's a sports car. My friend always brags about how her daddy owns one. I'm going to brag so much today that her ears will start to itch," Madison vowed. We all couldn't help but chuckle at her words.

"Let's go, otherwise you will get late for work," Alex said. I got into the front seat after he opened the car door for me.

"Mady, your eyes look puffy. Did you cry?" Julian asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. It was for a good cause," she replied with a smile. I scoffed. "We are having a Father's Day program at our school next week so Mason and I were wondering if you would like to come," she continued. "Of course. We would love to," they all replied.

"Great. We will inform our teacher that our actual real daddy will be present. This is so cool, having three daddies all to ourselves," she said happily. I sat quietly through the rest of the journey while the twins chattered with the triplets. We finally arrived at their school. "Bye, everyone. See you later," Madison waved at us excitedly before pulling Mason along with her towards the school. They drove me to the hospital. I got down without a word and headed inside.

"Wow, who are those yummy drop-dead gorgeous men?" A patient asked the nurse to take her out of a wheelchair.

"They are from the news. We watched it together the other day. Don't you remember?" the nurse whispered.

"I remember. I feel better already just staring at them," she fawned. I turned around abruptly and they halted.

"What do you want? Why do you keep following me?" I asked.

"We wanted to make sure you got to your office safely. Why are you getting upset?" Julian asked.

"I'm here safely. I didn't get taken away by anyone. Can you please leave now? You are all garnering too much attention toward me," I pleaded.

"Doctor Ximena is so lucky. Who are these this time around? I still haven't forgotten the other tall, dark, and handsome one," another nurse said. "Tall, dark, and handsome? Are they talking about Cole? Did Cole come here?" Alex inquired, sounding jealous.

"Leave already. At this rate, I will be the topic of discussion for the next three weeks," I said.

"We can't help it. We become the topic of discussion wherever we go," Philip bragged. I glanced around and more people were beginning to appear. "Since we've seen you arrive safely, we will take our leave now. See you tonight," Julian winked at me. I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Tonight? What's happening tonight?" I asked, staring at them curiously.

"It's a secret that you will replace out...tonight," Philip added. I looked towards Alex and he nodded in agreement.

"What the hell..." Alex cut me off by giving me a peck on the cheeks. Julian and Philip too. I stared at them with wide eyes. I could hear everyone gasp. "Bye honey," Julian said.

"See you later," Philip continued.

"Don't overwork yourself," Alex added.

"Bye everyone, take good care of her for us," Julian said to everyone in the lobby. My heart was beating so fast that I had to place my hand over it to calm it down. What were these feelings? I avoided everyone's gaze and literally ran to my office.
