Chapter 1

Tessa Gray was walking to her house, determined to get away from her life in London. She had done the same when living in New York she had decided to move to London as it sounded beautiful in all her books, even though they were written a few centuries ago. This time she decided to move to Shanghai as she knew a bit of the language.

She was moving to Shanghai because of two words, a name to be specific, William Herondale. He was like a rose, beautiful with the colour, the flower but dangerous and surprising with the sharp pointy thorns hiding under the beauty. She, being her naive self, grew to care for him and she felt the feelings were mutual but, NO. He had used her and then shown his true self an evil, uncaring, deceitful person.

So when she had come home a couple of weeks later after his heart wreaking betrayal and threw up everywhere, I mean everywhere. She had thought she was ill until she had a strong craving for chocolate, normally she would be disgusted with the thought of chocolate but she ate a whole tin of it and wanted more still. This was until she thought of her figure being destroyed so she unfortunately stopped.

This went on for a few weeks, but then she realised a certain visitor hadn't paid his visit. So she rushed to the pharmacy to check her suspicions were wrong. They weren't. She had to admit she cried, a lot but she blamed it on the hormones. She didn't want her child to be influenced in the bit by Will Herondale so she decided to move to Shanghai.

4 MONTHS LATER

I had finally moved to Shanghai, straight away I bought a cute little book shop as I had enough savings. I then put my books in and have been restocking ever since. I had a medium size bump as I found out early on it was triplets, I just had to be the most unluckiest person yet! I loved my darlings but their father had to the most moronic person to walk the face of the earth. Anyway I had hired a few people to look after the shop while I was busy etc. I have learned the language quite well and I'm getting better and have just got my English degree so after these little triplets go to nursery, I'm writing stories.

5 YEARS LATER

My children were now four and a halfway through nursery. James Nate Herondale had been born first, then Lucie Elizabeth Herondale and finally half hour later Ella Cecily Herondale. James had Will's black inky hair and features; he looked like a mini carbon copy of Will apart from his amber almost golden eyes. Lucie had my brown locks and Will's deep blue/violet eyes she looked a lot like me. Ella had my grey eyes and had the same inky hair as James. They were adorable and very skilled for their age; mentally and physically.

Walking home I bumped into Jem, he was my friend and James was named after him. He's a great friend. He told me he had a friend over from London. "He's just in that coffee shop" Jem said. "I can't wait to meet him" I replied happily. "There he is, hey Will over here" I froze as I saw deep blue violet eyes, the identical copy to Lucie's. Then the inky black hair "will this is" "Tess" Will interrupted. "You know each other?" Jem asked. "You could say that" I replied icily "Children, let's go". None of them were paying attention." James, Lucie, Ella get here now!" I ordered, they came willingly. Will went pale when I said 'Ella'. James not noticing any of the awkwardness in the air proudly said "Jamie was named after me". Will just nodded slowly, then seemingly snapping out of his daze said "well whose are these little guys, lucky man Tess?" Will snarkily asked. "He was very lucky and I still haven't forgiven him, but he gave me these beautiful triplets" I replied giving Will a pointed glare. He seemed taken a back. I glared one more time before gathering up my kids and walking off not looking back like he had done all those years ago.
