CHAPTER 38: LADY IN PURPLE MASK

She was sitting in a red tall stool facing the people who were drinking and eating. Audiences were curiously staring at the stage because a woman was wearing a purple mask in her eyes.

She knew what they were thinking as soon as she was in front of them. Why she was wearing a mask? When the music played, Rhianna started to sing a song of A1. This is one of her stress relieve, singing a song live.

🎶 You and I, cannot hide

The love we feel inside,

The words we need to say.

I feel that I have always walked alone.

But now that you're here with me.

There'll always be a place that I can go.

Suddenly our destiny has started to unfold.

When you're next to me I can see

The greatest story love has ever told.

Now my life is blessed with the love of an angel. 🎶

Ocean's table was at the second floor near the stage. He saw the woman wearing a purple mask as she went up to sing. He did not imagine that she would be singing Rhianna's favorite song or favorite artists.

He carried away hearing her voice. He once heard Rhianna's voice while singing along with the singer when they were in Music and Lyrics Bar. He could not totally say if it is Rhianna but he was curious with that woman.

She got nice long-legged legs just like hers. Ocean shook his head maybe he was just drunk that misses her that much.

Impossible it was Rhianna, she will not come to this place and singing on stage, he thought. Looking at the woman, his heart was not at ease.

This feeling was exactly how he felt when he first saw Rhianna. It could not be the same but his instinct was telling him what if it was, she.

The song already ended; Rhianna quickly went off the stage then headed out from the bar. Sab already paid their bill in cash.

Ocean went downstairs and looked for that woman. He bumped into Jenson.

"Have you seen the lady singing just now?" Ocean asked.

"Who? What woman?" Jenson dumbly asked turning his head around.

"The lady wearing a purple mask, the one was singing on stage a while ago, I feel like I know her." He told him.

"I haven't seen that lady you were mentioning about. I was at the office. I came out just now to join you at the spot." Jenson replied. "Why, is your heart started to fall in love again?" he teased Ocean. "You should be bro, it is time."

"Never mind. Let's go upstairs." Ocean quickly stepped up first to avoid questioning.

...

She was busy with her work for almost a month now for her clothing line. Her brother, Calvin will take over their family business. She is not just a sister but also one of the stockholders. She insisted to have a low profile in their family business. She will be attending a party for her brother as the new CEO tomorrow night.

As well as she will be launching her clothing line in S City. She looked up the clock; it was already past six in the evening. She needed to go home because of her children. She promised them that they would always have dinner together no matter what. If she could not make it on time for dinner, she will call them or tells them about her plan ahead of time.

She calls her assistant before heading home. Three knocks outside the door of her office. five feet and four inches tall woman came in. She was Talia, Rhianna's assistant, who was with her for six years after Sab.

"Ms. Bianca, I already checked all the things that will be use tomorrow night's event." As she handed to her some files to her table.

She used another name Bianca for her business as a fashion designer. Her real full name that her mother registered RHIANNA MAY BIANCA PARK. She dropped using Bianca when she started schooling.

"Okay, I trust you all the details to be done by tomorrow and make sure that models will be there on time." she said.

"Yes, ma'am I already contacted all the people in charge and all the outfits were all in the proper places." Talia smiled. "Everything is already in the venue tomorrow evening."

"Good, good. I will go home now and you will carry on other things carefully." Rhianna reminded her. "Be here early tomorrow morning and wait for my other instructions."

"Okay Ma'am, be safe on your way home. Good night." Talia bowed.

Rhianna waved goodbye as she opened the door.

She found her assistant Sab waiting for her at the parking lot basement. She opened the door for her as soon as she saw Rhianna came out from the elevator.

"Good evening Ms. Bianca." Sab greeted her.

"Sab, do we still have time to buy some ice cream for the kids." She asked as soon as she sat down at the back seat.

"Yes, Ms. Bianca, we can pass by the Daffodil Road on our way home." She replied.

They reached the house just in time for dinner. Sab carried her things; she carried the ice cream they arrived home.

She saw her triplets already sitting at their own chair. She walked towards them with a smiley face.

"Hi, anybody's home?" She said playfully. "Well, Mommy got something for my little ones."

Rayden, Rowen (Owen) and Raven rushed to her. They kissed her one by one. She put the ice cream down on the table.

"Oh-hoh, it is not time for the desserts." She warned the kids as soon as she saw them reaching out the plastic. "Nanny Maria, can you take this plastic and put it first inside the freezer, thanks."

She smiled looking at them like a kitten. "Okay, we should eat first then we can eat the ice cream."

"Yehey!" Both of her kids say the same expect Rayden. Her eldest, Rayden was like a matured kid, a much behave one. He does not want to play along with his siblings like any ordinary kid in his age. He may not be a playful to them. But he shows his love to his brother and sister in some other ways.

He has his own world. He was better to play with basketball than playing toys. He was resemblance with his father most aspects while Owen was half his father and half her mother and Raven was the full version of hers.

They were so noisy talking while eating supper. They were talking about their school activities. Raven quickly shares some gossip about her brother Rayden.

"Mommy, you know what, Den was so popular in our school. All the girls were crazy about him every time he passed by or played basketball." Raven reported.

"Oh, really." She glanced at Rayden with beautiful eyes. Rayden frowned at Raven.

"Mind your own business, Raven. Do not listen to her spouting nonsense Mommy." He said it in defensive way.

Rhianna knew that her son Rayden do not likes to boost when it comes to him.

"What about you, Owen? What did you do in your school?" She turned her head to her right side.

"Well, I want to learn some music instruments Mommy. My teacher in music told me that I have to pursue my singing because it was so nice to develop it while I am still young." Owen smiled.

"Oh, so you really like singing?" She asked.

"Yes, I love singing and I love to learn all the instruments like piano, drums, guitars." He said excitedly.

She faced Raven closely. "How about you, little sweetie, what you want to do?

"Swimming and Taekwondo I want to learn that in school." Raven stood up then proudly says.

That is what they usually talked every time she went home from office, asked their whereabouts.
