Triplets for the Billionaire novel (Oliver Gusto) novel Chapter 21

Days later

It was okay to refer to Katherine Peters as an organized person. She was used to having things figured out but for the past couple of days, She felt like an individual with a lost identity. Nothing excited her and neither did She find anything interesting. She went to work as usual and took care of her kids who took most of her time and yeah, her mother’s wedding preparation.

Kathie was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of her phone. She got more comfortable on the sofa, picked up her purse, opened it and reached for her phone. A small smile crept to her lips when She saw that it was her best friend who was calling.

“Hi, love.” Michelle’s happy voice came through.

“Babe. How is it going?”

“Good. You sound tired. Mama’s stress.”

“You’ve got no idea, honey.”

Michelle chuckled, “Tell me about it.”

“The venue for the reception has been changed.”

“Your mom changed it last minute?” Michie said unbelievably.

“No. She got ditched by the hall owners.”

“Apparently, the hall was bought by one of Mom’s ex-husband’s daughter, who to date blames mom for ruining her beautiful family. She refunded last minute and said we can’t have the reception there,”

“Wow! That’s brutal.”

“You have no idea. Mom almost went insane. She went as far as calling her ex-husband to talk to her daughter but she refused, calling mom a bitch and a psycho.

Michelle chuckled. “Sorry about that but it’s so true. I still feel She shouldn’t have taken it too far. I mean, the wedding is less than 24 hours and invitations have been sent out.”

“Yeah, I know how bitchy Mom can actually be. Nelly had always hated the fact that her Dad divorced her Mom and then married my mom so this is her only way of getting revenge I guess. Mom actually wanted to sue but we found out we had no grounds. The contract signed with the former hall owners excluded them from any liability including situations like this. Mom did not involve me when booking the event center. She didn’t read the contract so I guess out of too much excitement, She signed it.”

“So sad. I trust your Mom to create a scene.” Michelle chuckled.

“Sure, It was so hard getting her away from the hall.”

“So, what’s going to happen now?”

“An email and a call notice will be forwarded to everyone on the guest list. We will use our backyard for the reception. The decorators will arrive very early tomorrow morning to start decorating.”

“Beatrice must be so disappointed.”

“You’ve got no idea, babes. Especially after She had done her best to make sure everything went smoothly and perfectly.”

“But your mansion’s backyard is gorgeous too. I’m sure after the decorations, everything will come alive. But I can’t believe your step-sister would be capable of doing such.”

Katherine chuckled. “My step-sister indeed. I’ve honestly lost count of how many I’ve had. I never try to build any bond with them because I know it was only temporary and besides, Who would want to befriend the daughter of the woman who snatched their father?”

“Oliver Gusto?” Michelle teased.

Katherine rolled her eyes.

“Since the wedding’s tomorrow, Have you decided what you’re going to do already?”

“Yeah. Since he would be in attendance, I won’t have any choice but to cross paths with him. But I will only talk to him if he makes the first move to talk to me. Our conversation will then decide if I would tell him about the triplets or not.”

“You don’t sound worried anymore.” Michelle couldn’t help but say

“Yeah. I recently realized Oliver isn’t worth my worries or any sleepless night. I’m sure as hell that he wouldn’t recognize me and even if he does, he would probably pretend and not talk to me. And if he manages to talk to me and I tell him about the kids, I’m so sure he would be in denial. So yeah, there’s no point worrying for nothing. He’s just an asshole”

“You hates him so much, don’t you”

“Hate is a strong word, babe. I guess I only regretted being entangled with him that night but on the other hand, My triplets were conceived and I cannot imagine my life without them.”

“It seems you and him can never be on good terms but no matter how bad it gets, Just let him know that his flesh and blood exists.”

“I’m so damn sure I wouldn’t even have to get to that conversation,” Kathie said in all confidence.

“If all you’ve said about Oliver is true then that is so terrible about him.”

“Yeah. He has money, fame and looks but everything else about him is disgusting.”

“So how’s your mom holding up?”

“She’s pretty heartbroken. But she will be fine. She’s still saying she would sue Nelly for destroying her wedding. I doubt She’s going to let go. If there’s anything so important to mom, then it’s her reputation. She was literally kicked out to go have her wedding reception elsewhere.”
