The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 68

Chapter 68- Bad intentions

“Have you told Graham yet? When did you find out?” Tessa asked as soon as they got to the villa they were going to stay in at the resort.

When Michelle blurted out that she was pregnant, they decided to check in and discuss the issue properly in private.

The only villa in the resort belonged to Aaron Wentworth. He was the only one who could stay there. Naturally, Tessa could stay there since she was his woman.

Michelle sighed and slumped down on the nice white couch in the living room. The villa was like a mini modern mansion. It had an open-plan kitchen next to the living area with floor-to- ceiling windows. It had a white, grey and black theme which were Aaron’s favourite colours.

“Remember when I felt sick after eating too much carrot cake during the cake tasting?” Michelle asked while looking at Tessa and Celia.

Tessa nodded and replied, “Yes, I do. You looked pale.”

“I suspected I was pregnant because my period was late. But I had taken a plan B pill so I thought it wasn’t possible. However, I wasn’t at peace, so on my way home, I bought a pregnancy test kit and tested my urine at home. My heart sank when I saw two red lines… Graham and I decided to forget about what happened between us. How do I tell him we made a baby on our last encounter?” Michelle’s eyes watered as she narrated.

“Pick up your phone and call him. When he picks up, tell him, congratulations, you’re going to be a father! As simple as that, sweetie,” Celia said as she walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge and took out a cold drink.

Michelle glanced at Tessa and she nodded at her, saying, “Celia is right, hun. You need to tell. him so that he knows, What he chooses to do is his choice. I regret not telling Aaron despite us not being on good terms. He had a right to know.”

“You don’t understand. Graham is afraid of commitment. He would think I’m trying to trap him or something-”

“Michelle, listen to us. Tell the man that you both created a little human. If he shirks responsibility, that’s on him. At least, you would have a clear conscience. And if he doesn’t want the child, don’t worry, we shall figure it out together,” Tessa said.

Michelle bit her bottom lip. She knew she had to tell Graham even if there was a possibility of him not wanting to take responsibility. However, she didn’t know if was ready to be a single mother.

She glanced at Tessa and replied, “He won’t pick up my call. I’ll tell him when I see him at the wedding. I also need time to process everything.”

“Ok… let’s just have fun and cross that bridge when we get there. For now, let’s have some drinks!” Celia said as she approached the duo and gave Tessa a glass of wine. She gave Michelle a glass of juice and remarked, “Our new mama will have juice.”

Meanwhile, Jane Colton squinted her eyes when she saw Tessa and her friends enter the restricted area of the resort.

“That bitch actually has access to the VVIP area meant for rich tycoons?’ She clenched her hands into fists and walked towards the receptionist.

“I think those ladies entered the wrong area. They are just ordinary people and shouldn’t have access to the VVIP area,” she reported.

The receptionist was confused. She glanced at Jane and said, “They do have access, ma’am. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been allowed to go through.”

“Are you sure? Are they being sponsored by someone else?” Jane asked anxiously. She was afraid that Tessa had a powerful backer and that she wouldn’t be able to put her in her place.

The receptionist went through the database and frowned. She replied, “One of them is Celia Wentworth, the owner’s sister. Perhaps she’s the one sponsoring the vacation.”

Jane smirked and glanced at her friends, saying, “I thought Tessa had a backer. It turns out she’s using Mr Wentworth’s sister to live a lavish life. She’s so fake. After failing to seduce Mr Wentworth, she wants to go through his sister to get to him. I need to show Celia her true

colours.”

Jessica looked at her friend and questioned, “Are you sure about this, Jane? We might land ourselves in trouble.”

“Nonsense! Back then, Mr Wentworth couldn’t even acknowledge their relationship in public. I’m sure he will put her in her place once he hears that she’s using his sister to get to him,’ Jane smirked and a thought occurred to her. “I know what to do ladies. Tessa is going down today.”

After having a few drinks, Tessa and her friends decided to go out and maybe have a swim in the sea since it was too hot.

They put on bikinis and threw on some throwover shirts. Celia was in a gold, barely-there bikini. It was so tiny that her breasts were almost spilling out of the bra. Michelle wore a red one-piece swimsuit that had an open back with a plunging neckline. Tessa was in her royal blue bikini. It covered her breasts and the pubic area nicely. The covered parts were connected by strings on the hips. Once they got to the beach, Tessa asked Michelle to take a picture of

her.

“I want to send it to my man,” she said as she struck a pose.

She took a lot of photos and sent them to Aaron. The moment they were delivered, she received a call from him. A smile crossed her lips as she picked up, “Hey, babe.”

“Damn, Tessa. Are you trying to kill me? Those pictures… Fuck! You look so sexy. I want to eat you,” Aaron said the moment Tessa answered the call.

Tessa’s face flushed. She replied, “You know where to find me.”

“Really? Can I come?” Aaron asked. There was eagerness laced in his voice.

Tessa was about to reply when Celia grabbed her phone and said to Aaron, “No! No men allowed! Just have fun with the kids.”

She looked at Tessa and claimed, “I’m confiscating your phone. We are here to have fun, away from the men. You will be with him every day after your wedding.”

Celia had left her phone in the villa. She placed Tessa’s phone on her sunlounger and then they went into the water to swim.

Unbeknownst to them, someone walked to their sunloungers and got Tessa’s phone before running away quickly.

The phone thief rushed back to the group of ladies who were waiting at a hiding spot. It was none other than Jessica Scott, Jane Colton’s best friend.

She gave Jane the phone she got and asked, “What are you going to do with that?”

Jane smirked and said, “I want to see what secrets Tessa’s hiding so that I can expose her.”

She clicked on the power button and discovered the phone was asking for a pattern or facial recognition for it to be unlocked.

“It’s locked!” Jane gritted her teeth.

She was about to smash the phone on the ground when its wallpaper changed and a picture of Tessa’s triplets when they were babies flashed on the phone.

Excitement bubbled up within Jane. Her eyes grew wide as she said, “I might not be able to get into her phone, but I just found something that may destroy her relationship with the Wentworths for good. She dared to get close to Celia when she is a single mother with three kids. She probably doesn’t even know who the father is.”

Jane laughed maniacally while Jessica remarked, “That’s enough evidence to put her in her place.”

“That’s right. Let’s wait for Hunter. I want to see Tessa when I’m at my highest point. I want her to see that I’m better than her,” Jane proposed.

There was a wicked smirk on her face as she watched Tessa have fun with her friends in the

sea. ‘Let’s see if you will be as happy as you are when Celia knows your true colours.’

Tessa came out of the water and rushed to Celia’s sunlounger to get her phone. She wanted to call Aaron and find out how the kids were doing. However, she couldn’t see her phone anywhere.

She frowned and asked Celia, “Where did you put my phone? I can’t find it.”

Celia approached and knitted her eyebrows as she looked around. “That’s strange. I left it right here.”

She said, pointing at the spot where she had left the phone earlier. The trio searched for the phone but they couldn’t find it.

“I can’t believe someone would steal a phone in broad daylight,” Tessa’s frown deepened.

“Do you back up your data?” Celia inquired and when Tessa nodded, she presented, “Then we can simply replace it. Perhaps it was just a petty thief. I’ll ask the security to check the footage around this area.”

The three of them decided to go and have something to eat before doing other activities. After covering up in their floral throw-over shirts, they began to walk back to the villa when someone stood in front of them.

“Tessa? Is that you? Oh my God! Long time no see!”

Tessa was taken aback when she was suddenly engulfed in a hug. Her eyebrows furrowed when she recognised the person as her former colleague but she wondered why she was acting as if they used to be close.

‘Isn’t this Jane Colton? What does she want? I thought she didn’t like me.’

She forced a smile and said awkwardly, “Hi…”

Something flashed through Jane’s eyes when she thought Tessa was trying to pretend as if they didn’t know each other. She glanced at Celia and introduced herself, “Hi, my name is Jane. I used to work for the Wentworth group. Tessa used to be a good friend of mine. Perhaps she forgets friends once she finds better ones.”

Celia frowned and just nodded to acknowledge the greeting.

Jane didn’t mind that she was ignored. She had changed into an extravagant attire. She wore a sequin dress and she had all sorts of jewellery hanging around her neck and wrists. She pulled a man who

looked like he walked out of a hip-hop song video over. His jeans were hanging low, below his ass. He had a peacock hairstyle with shiny chains hanging around his neck.

She brought the man in front of Tessa and said, “Tessa, meet my boyfriend, Hunter. He owns his own company and I’m his official girlfriend, not a mistress.”

Tessa furrowed her eyebrows. She didn’t say anything because she felt speechless. The man Jane was showing off looked like a thug. There was nothing attractive about him at all.

“He’s hosting a bonfire tonight just next to the sea. Would you and your friends like to join us?” Jane proceeded to offer.

Michelle stifled a laugh. She leaned over and whispered in Tessa’s ear. “I think she has bad intentions.”

Celia was about to say something but Tessa held her arm and shook her head. She turned to Jane and said, “Well, we were thinking about what we would do next. I guess a bonfire party is not a bad idea.”

Jane smiled brightly. She hooked her arm with Hunter’s and proposed, “That’s great. Bring your man, Tessa. That is if you have one. Oops, I forgot, you’re just a mistress. My bad… See you at the party.”

Tessa clenched her hands into fists. She hated being called a mistress. How could they label her as a mistress when the man belonged to her?

Her eyes turned fierce as she looked at Celia and asked, “Where’s your phone?”

“Um… it’s in the villa,” Celia replied.

“Let’s This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

‘s go and call your brother. She told me to go with my man, I want to show her who my man is,” Tessa declared as a smirk crossed her lips.
