Charming Mommy of adorable triplets

Chapter 1

photo made the blood drain from Maisie’s face. It was a picture of a man she did not recognize, helping her into a hotel room.Willow rushed down the stairs in her high heels. “Dad, calm down.” As she continued to talk, she walked toward Maisie and pretended to nag at her. “Zee, how could you embarrass the family like this? Even if you are in love with the man, you should know not to cross the line before getting married.”Maisie was completely startled. What did she mean by that?She had clearly been unconscious at the time!Just as she suspected, Willow would never be so kind as to celebrate her birthday for her. It had all been a set-up! Maisie tried to explain herself, “Dad, listen, I was out celebrating my birthday with Willow. There was something in the drink that Willow gave to me—”“That’s enough!” Stephen stood up, pointed his finger at her, and growled, “Willow is your big sister. Don’t you dare blame her for your own actions!”‘Sister?’Listening to her father’s accusations, Maisie clenched both her fists tightly until they trembled. Her mother should have known that her father was an unfaithful man. He had been keeping a woman on the side from the very start.Who could have guessed that within a year after her mother’s passing, even before her ashes had turned cold, he would remarry so quickly with Leila Scott? What had come as a greater surprise to Maisie was finding out that they had long given birth to a daughter of their own!Maisie had always known that Willow was trying to win over their father for years now. She would act a certain way in front of their father and turn into something else behind him. Never did it ever occur to Maisie that Willow would try to sabotage her on her very own birthday! “I was planning to pass on Vaenna Jewelry to you when you finally came of age, but y-you… I can’t believe you pulled such a stunt to tarnish the family name! I never want to see your face again! The Vanderbilt could do better without a shameless wretch like you for a daughter!”Maisie stuttered, “Dad, a-are you… kicking me out?”Stephen smashed the mug he was holding right at her feet. “Get the hell out of here!”Trembling uncontrollably, Maisie lifted her head only to catch Willow sneering back at her along with her father’s untrusting grimace. She could not help but feel a chill in her heart.As Maisie was dragging her luggage out through the front yard, Willow came up to her. Pretending to be sweet, she reached out an arm and offered to help with the luggage. But instead, her reaching hand was slapped away by Maisie. “Get lost.”Seeing Maisie’s hostile attitude toward her, Willow finally showed her true colors. “I’ll be honest with you. I did add a little something into that drink last night. I’m guessing it must feel horrible to be tainted by a man.”With much dismay, Maisie chewed on her lips. “You and Leila got what you wanted by worming your way into our home. What more do you want?”“What I want is your status!” Willow walked right up to her and stared fiercely into her eyes. “Why am I the illegitimate child when you get to be the crown jewel of the Vanderbilts? You were born noble and proud, weren’t you? Well, now you’re nothing but a used, torn-up shoe. By now, you should know where you stand. So, why don’t you just move along.”Willow waved her phone in front of Maisie’s face with much delight.“If you don’t want this video leaked to the media and risk ruining your life forever, then hit the road.“And don’t ever come back!”Maisie stared back blankly. She loosened her clenched fists. She hauled her luggage off the ground with a stiff look on her face and headed straight into her car without a second glance.Willow watched as the car drove farther and farther away. A smug
