章節 5: CHAPTER 5

Five years later:

"What do you like doing in your spare time?" A reporter asked.

" I spent time with my friends and important people" Klara said

" What is the biggest misconception people have about you as a model?"

A reporter asked

" That I don't eat, which isn't true because I eat like a horse, If only people know how many pizzas I have conquered " Klara said, then laugh

"Oh pizza!, thin crust or deep dish" asked, another reporter

"Thin crust for sure" Klara answered

" Enough of these questions, let's ask a personal one, many of the fans want to know whether you are dating the famous CEO Noah" asked the report

"No, Noah is just my best friend and my boss " Klara said, laughingly wondering what brought that question.

" You are sure?, Because someone just called me now telling me CEO Noah Just posted something, concerning you. It goes like,

"Please, can you take it easy on her for my sake in the interview?, And those of you sending her flowers should stop because I have my claim on her"

Hearing this, Klara was speechless. She knew Noah didn't think of her as a friend but she never expected him to announce it on the internet. She had told him countless times she couldn't date him because she didn't love him and she was a mother of a triplet and he knew.

She was really grateful to Noah for hiring her and giving her the opportunity to become this famous, but that didn't mean she would sell her body as a replacement for thanking him, she could only think of him as her best friend.

Deep down she couldn't forget that face and that night, even though years have passed.

" What do you have to say about the message?, how do you feel about him?" Asked one the reporter.

As the interview was going on,

Klara never knew the person she was hiding from had finally found her.

Jace pov:

It's been five years since I last saw her. I thought I could forget about her, so I didn't bother looking for her. Seeing her now, I really do miss her.

"She hasn't changed at all, still carrying that charisma and confidence I saw on her last time on the stage" I thought

I sat in the car watching the interview on the billboard. Hearing her reply, seeing her smile made me happy until I heard that message., I frowned, wondering who CEO Noah was.

" Help me, find out who CEO Noah is ?" I ordered my assistant.

" Ok,sir," he answered.

Klara pov

When I was done with the interview, I got into my car and my driver drove me off to my home. The journey to my house was a long one, so I had the chance to close my eyes and relax. But the sleep didn't come, memories of my life journey till date kept flashing through my head. I didn't know how many hours I spent thinking until.

"Madam, we have reached" the driver said, startling me

"Oh,ok" I replied, then thanked him for the ride.

I opened the door of the car and stepped down, as I was about to open the door to my apartment,I saw my triplets running to me, though the third one who was slightly malnourished took her time. According to the doctor, she didn't get enough nutrients in my stomach.

"Mummy," they all shouted.

Instantly my tiredness was washed away, I went on my knees and hugged the three of them. Kissing their baby cheeks.

"Mummy, I am not a baby any more, I am four , almost five" The second born (Gabriel) said arrogantly, I wonder where he got his arrogance from.

The other kids, Peter (the first born), Aria(the malnourished last born), looked at him in disgust.

"Mummy you can hug us" Peter said

"We don't care, we are still your babies, momma" Aria continued

"Mm, you all are my babies" I said, hugging them and smiling, they were my only family.

"Oh,oh, see you guys hugging without me" someone said

We all turned wondering who that was,Then I saw it was Noah. The kids instantly left me.

"Uncle Noah" Gabriel and Peter shouted running and jumped on his body.

Imagine that my arrogant fellow who just told me not kiss him now,

" Uncle Noah you didn't kiss me" Gabriel said pouting.

I was shocked,

The thing that surprised me the most was what Aria called him.

"Papa, you didn't carry me," Aria said angrily.

"Am sorry baby, come here" said Noah, he then lifting her up.

" Aria how many times have I told you not to call him daddy, he is not your father. I said, wanting to carry her from Noah's hands.

" No, mommy he is my daddy. All my mate in school have daddies. am the only one without a daddy" she started crying

" I-i-i want Uncle Noah to be my dad, marry him mummy, so he can be my dad. He told me wov you" said Aria

I was in complete shock wondering who taught her this, until I saw Noah's face with a smirk. I felt like wiping that smirk off.

"We need to talk, right now" I told Noah, angrily.

" Go and have your dinner, we will be back soon." I told the kids

"Oh I understand mommy, you and uncle Noah want to go on a date, like my friends mummy and dad" she said, happily clapping.

I couldn't reply to her as this was the first time she was this happy. Maybe she really wanted a dad.

Seeing Aria happy made me happy deep down but I also know that Noah and I were a No-no, I didn't see him like that.

"Mm, whatever you say, go inside and have your lunch" I ordered the kids, because sometimes you have to be strict with them.

"Ok, Mummy," they replied. Then ran into the house

I then turned my face Noah,

"We need to talk, you can't keep doing this" I said angrily.

"What did I do?It's your choice to like me or not ,and it's my choice to like you and I like you. You aren't the owner of my emotions" he countered

I couldn't say anything to argue back because he was right.

" And don't you want your children to have a father?, someone who can take them out , to spoil, pamper them? And you, Have you never felt tired of all these responsibilities" he asked

And I wavered, thinking about it. I really do feel tired sometimes. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't love my children. I love them so much that I could die for them. But sometimes it is tiring being a single mom.
