Mated to the Alpha triplets novel Chapter 35

Helen

My dad narrowed his eyes at me, as I chewed on my food and stared back with an innocent expression on my face

“I know nothing about the attack.” He said after a few minutes of silence. “And again, you shouldn’t accuse people without concrete evidence.” He added.

“I’m sure of what I’m saying, Dad. I am fairly certain you were behind the rogue attack.” I said.

“Focus on your food, Helen.” My dad said sharply.

“Okay,” I said nonchalantly as I continued stuffing my mouth.

A minute passed and I couldn't take it anymore. “Dad, won’t you tell me the truth?”

“Helen.”

“I’m only curious, please Dad. It’s not like I am gonna report you to anyone. I mean, you are my dad, after all.” I said with pleading eyes.

“Fine. I know nothing about the attack and that’s it.” He said. “So no more questions.” He added.

“I don’t believe you,” I said as I finished my meal. I wiped my mouth with a napkin and dropped it on my plate, pushing my chair back as I stood to go up into my room.

“That’s up to you.” My Dad said, still smiling.

I went to my room and slammed the door closed, taking satisfaction in the way the sound reverberated through the house. I jumped on my bed and then I scrolled through my phone to check some pictures I took with Lucien at the beach. I smiled at how lovely we looked and kissed his handsome, smiling face. I put down my phone and then my gaze wandered to the big picture frame hung on the wall beside my bed. It was the picture I took with the triplets when I had my 16th birthday. And then I remembered that my 18th birthday was coming up soon.

Then ideas started coming in about the kind of gift I should request from the princes. Ever since I knew them, they had always given me expensive and girly gifts, basically whatever I asked for. From the dolls in my rooms to some of my most expensive shoes, bags and hair accessories, they were all gifts from the princes and my dad.

I won’t ask for anything childish this time around.

Should I just ask them to allow me to live in the palace with them?

I would look cheap right?

I shouldn’t do that, right?

I kept asking myself these questions and at the same time thinking of what to get from them as my birthday gift. I wanted it to be something meaningful, something that would prove that I was finally getting close to their hearts.

“Oh, I should ask for customized, matching rings for the four of us,” I screamed out loud.

I laughed out loud at the thought and fell back on my bed rolling from one end to another. Just then my phone pinged. It was a Facetime call.

It must be the triplets.

I smiled at myself, I quickly went to the mirror to check myself. I wanted to look frail and fragile. I wiped my mouth clean of the lipstick staining it, ruffled my hair to look rough and then went back to bed. I covered myself with the blanket and then I reached out to my phone and unlocked it only to see that the caller was Tina.

“What the fuck?” I cursed as I picked up the phone.

Tina blinked at the other end, she was so surprised at my tone that her mouth hung open before she snapped it close.

“What’s wrong? I called at the wrong time, right ?” She asked.

“Yes,” I yelled out.

She flinched, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I only wanted to ask if we did the task well.” She said.

“What task?” I asked angrily.

“The video of you and Olivia.” I rolled my eyes at the way her voice dropped to a whisper.

“You guys did well and after all, you weren’t the one who took the video, it was Trisha,” I said angrily.

“But you guys did well and Olivia was also punished by flogging. Make sure the whole school hears about it. The entire school should be buzzing so much about it, that she'll never want to show her face again. And add exaggerations as well! Do I have to teach you guys everything? What kind of bullies are you? I want you to go harder on Olivia.” I said and I hung up without waiting for her response.

I threw my phone on my bed and then I covered myself with my blanket. I was fuming under the blanket because I thought the triplets were the ones calling me.

Stupid Tina. Ruined my mood.

“Why are they not calling me?”
