In the Director's office in Dalton Elementary School,.a couple sat opposite the nonchalant Queenie.

Aaron sat on Queenie's lap as she massaged his hair gently while Caleb sat next to his parents.

"Mrs. Verlice, I do not have any memory of my son doing a thing like that. And raising a complaint because of what your younger kid said doesn't sound like a good thing to me." Michelle Green said.

She was a renowned woman in all of Hiltonia. She came from a reputable family no worse than the Verlice. She also got married to someone from a prestigious family, Owen Garfield.

Frankly speaking, she felt she was in the same position with Queenie in the commercial world.

Queenie stopped touching Aaron's hair for a brief moment before asking, "In other words, are you trying to say my younger son is lying?"

"Yes." Michelle replied and Queenie glanced up at her.

The woman's frightening eyes sent chills down Michelle's spine and she flinched before she knew it.

    Along her way back, Queenie's phone rang. It was an unknown number but she answered anyway. "Queenie Knight on the line, who is this?" She spoke first, her eyes fluctuating between the phone and the road. "Queenie." A trembling voice called from the other end and Queenie narrowed her eyes slightly, "Queenie, is it really you?" "Is that disappointment I hear in your voice?" Queenie asked, the corners of her mouth curling up in mockery. Floral scoffed. She often had the urge to hit this niece of hers. The latter was just fortunate she was the only niece the Knights had. "I heard it was your idea to keep your father's body in the house so you can send his killers to the grave with him. Unfortunately, your father's family has refused to keep him any longer and demands that he is to be buried this week." Floral went straight to the reason she called. There was nothing she could do to convince them to keep the body any longer but they refused to listen to her. In the end, she had to g

    Queenie got home to see Pierce in the living room playing soccer all by himself. It was a football game and the man quietly played with computer. "Someone's losing." She said and the man paused his game and looked behind him. He got up immediately and walked towards her. "I got a call from the school. Did you really threaten to throw that woman down?" He chuckled lightly and she gave him a knowing smile. "I was planning to. But when I recalled my son was right in the room, I couldn't do it. She should be thankful for his presence." Queenie replied, walking towards the sofa. "So, do you plan to pursue this matter further or you're just going to lay low for a while?" He asked, taking his seat beside her as well. "Whether they live or die depends on them. There's a price to be paid regardless." She replied and picked up the second gamepad on the table. "Can I join you?" "Sure." The man replied and went ahead to connect his to the TV. During the course of the game, Queenie glanced

    Queenie stopped her car at a suitable place in the central park and looked around. Although it was bustling with people, Deborah was nowhere to be found. She heard her phone beep with a new message and picked up her phone to see who it was. It was a message from Deborah and it had the words, "You're too far. Drive into the park," sprawled across her phone's screen. Queenie scoffed and glanced around the park but once again, she caught no sight of Deborah. If she didn't know the importance of the medicine to her, she'd have said the woman was trying to mess with her. So she started the car again and drove into the park. She kept driving as the text which blew up her phone kept urging her to move forward. She stopped the car when Deborah said so and got off as requested. Then she walked to the back of the park. But there was still no sign of Deborah. Queenie found a place to sit and dialed Deborah's number. However, the ringing of the phone was right next to her. Deborah appeared

    When Queenie walked into the house, she wasn't surprised to see Pierce waiting for her on the sofa. "How did it go?" He asked as soon as she walked in and she smiled and walked closer to him. "She agreed." She added, "But she suspected I was trying to threaten her. I mean, why would I? I simply made a request. She should've rejected it if she thought it sounded like a threat." A smile graced Pierce's handsome face as he had only one word to describe Queenie with at the moment; Shameless! But as the supportive and doting husband which he was, he gave her thumbs up and sat up. "We should start planning then." However, Queenie shook her head. "I'd have suggested the same too but I need to see them before that. For now, I'll go up to my room and have a good rest." Pierce nodded without a word. When she got to the stairs, she stopped and glanced back at him, "Are the children back from school?"Pierce nodded. "Lucas offered to bring them back. They should be back any moment from now

    "That's a whole troupe you brought in." Natasha commented the moment Queenie sat in front of her, causing the latter to chuckle softly. Although inconspicuous, Natasha could still make out the dozen guards Queenie had brought with her. It was weird for such to be noticed, so she guessed Queenie asked them to reveal themselves on purpose. "All my life, my elder sister has tried to kill me. It's normal that I'm wary around her." Queenie replied and reached out to take the menu. Natasha had a surprised look as soon as she heard those words. She had to glance behind her to see if there was someone else listening to their conversation. When she saw no one, she turned back to Queenie who had her eyes buried on the menu. "If there's anyone who should be scared of being hurt, that should be me." Queenie laughed lightly but didn't look up at her. A waiter walked up to them and Queenie pointed to a few dishes. After she was done, the waiter turned to Natasha. "What do I get you, ma'am?"

    Secret Agents' Base In Hiltonia The serious atmosphere in the office could be felt. Different people in black either had their eyes lowered into their monitor as they typed a long line of code, or they could be walking around with files. In one of the officers, three personnels stood arguing within each other. "We need to withdraw him and send more people to capture Queenie Knight and the rest." One of the men, a busty man who had a name 'Finn Lewis' attached to his name, spoke up with a frown. The second man in the room couldn't help but concur with him leaving the only woman in their midst helpless. "Raphael has committed his entire time to this case. Suddenly withdrawing him from it won't be a good thing. Please reconsider." The woman, Jecinta Nevins, pleaded. However, the men weren't planning on being merciful. They had come with a purpose and that was to thwart the progress of Raphael. After getting the order to investigate Hiltonia as it was suspected of being a home to f

    "Is she crazy?" Jessica scoffed in anger. "She must have her reasons." Audrey suddenly said, before adding, "In fact, I can't help thinking of all the terrible things she plans to do. Like assemble them all and have them killed.""That's callous of me, don't you think?" Queenie who had gotten in without their knowledge suddenly said from the balcony, drawing their attention to herself. "When did you get up there?" Pierce asked with a light smile, quickly putting the game away before he walked up to her."I passed the back door." Queenie replied, pointing somewhere. "I had no idea that door was still in existence. But why did you pass through the back door?" He asked "I intended to check up on my kids." Queenie answered before pinning her eyes on the three pairs of eyes staring up at her. "Don't look at me like that. I had no idea there was someone called Deborah." "No one blames you." Liam said after a moment of silence, "We're just surprised you were able to get us out safely. W

    After 11 hours in a plane, it came to a stop in Texas. Queenie and Pierce hadn't gone with their jet since they wanted to maintain a low profile. Hence, a journey which should've taken 6 hours at most, took 11 because of all the waiting and interruptions which happened along the way. When they got into a tab, Queenie shared the photo on her phone with Pierce. "I was expecting the child to look a little like Velon. I guess he's not the type to pass down his genes." Pierce merely smiled. Maybe his gene wasn't passed because of something else. "And they are living quite comfortably." Queenie commented again and showed him a picture of the house the mother and son lived in. "He's proving to be a good husband and father. I bet his son and wife are so happy to have him." Pierce finally said and looked out of the car's window. Queenie nodded slightly and looked up to see the driver looking at them from his front view mirror. Most importantly, he hadn't driven off. When she realized wh

    Pierce walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied loosely around his waist. Queenie who had been sulking on the bed raised her eyes to say something but it got stuck in her throat seeing his chiseled muscles.It also occurred to her this was the most intimate she had ever been with Pierce. Her body heated up at the thought of that and she groaned in displeasure. She was supposed to be angry but she was horny instead. Pierce had no idea what was going on with her but he did notice her frown deepened every passing second. "Queenie, are you alright?" He asked slowly and she snapped out of her thoughts. However, she ignored him. The man chuckled to himself and walked to the clothes he had taken off before going to have his bath. He took out something and handed it over to her. "Just like I thought, you were the one with the diary." She mumbled as she took it. "Yes. I came across it once in her office and decided to take it. Unfortunately, when I read the part regarding the formula,

    Velon managed to get them through the corridor undetected. Queenie practically limped the whole time but quietly. However, just before they got to the elevator, they saw a green light and froze. There was someone inside. There was no time for them to decide as the elevator dinged open and Henry walked out of it. His face scrunched over when he realized what was going on and he immediately raised an alarm. "Who are you and who gave you the go ahead order to move them?" His sharp voice echoed throughout the empty corridor. Velon and Queenie felt movements towards them and sighed silently. Just like that, their perfect escape had been ruined by a lousy mouth relative. Despite her weak state, she tried to move when Velon held her back. "If you do that they'll get you again. Just get into the elevator." Upon hearing him, Henry scoffed and stood guard in front of the elevator door. Taking Queenie down would've been an impossible task but at this point, he knew she was beyond weak and

    "But I still don't understand what the talk has to do with your plan with the formula for more drugs." Queenie scoffed, turning her face back to Mishael. "True. I've deviated from my storyline." The man replied, flashing an apologetic smile. "My father spent all his life's savings on Transformers because he knew he'd get more out of the product. The Transformers' drugs boost the human body. Increases things like speed, retention ability and some special abilities one might acquire as a side effect." "So you're trying to tell me you plan on doing the same thing which caused my mother to burn down the laboratory in the first place?" Queenie asked just to be sure and the man nodded. "It's called, continuing the family's legacy." Mishael enunciated and walked back to where he dropped his bottle of bourbon. "What if they don't find it?" Queenie asked as he filled his cup again. He only gave a dark chuckle. "I don't mind doing the same thing my father did." "Bring children and use the

    Texas Velon returned home after being released by Queenie. He first had his son released but as he looked down at the boy, his heart skipped when he realized there was no resemblance between. "Daddy, those people took mommy away." Matt said, tears brewing in his eyes. He hadn't forgotten the sight he saw that day. "We'll go to mommy now. Don't cry." Velon consoled snapping out of his world.He grabbed the boy and took him into his arms. Just to affirm that Queenie was just messing with him, he stopped by a hospital and had them run a paternity test. "The result will be out in an hour, sir." The doctor told him. Then his eyes settled on Matt. "You have a handsome boy." "Thank you." Velon replied and led Matt out of the hospital. "The results can also be sent to your email in case you don't make it here on time. It's always more convenient." The doctor added with a smile. Finding no harm in it, Velon gave the doctor his email address before leaving. He found the police station w

    Lucas and Audrey turned to see Deborah standing behind them with a smile. The most baffling thing was that they had no idea when she arrived. "How long have you been here?" Lucas asked, turning to her fully. Deborah flicked her wristwatch and stared at the time for a few seconds before raising her head again, "Three minutes. Just enough to kill you both and dump your bodies in the middle of the sea."If she was trying to scare them, she didn't succeed as they just stared at her blankly. "What are you doing here?" Deborah asked again, furrowing his brows in displeasure. "I worked for your parents. Of course I had to attend your father's funeral." Deborah replied with a snicker. "They gave you away. Frankly speaking, you don't look like you care about him." Lucas continued saying while Audrey watched silently. "You're right." Deborah chuckled, "I came to be sure Queenie won't run with the medicine she purified. It's unfortunate that Mishael now has his hands on her." "Mishael? Li

    Mishael turned off his phone and turned his attention back to Queenie. David stood by the side with tears in his eyes. Just a few minutes ago, Mishael had suddenly instructed him to strung up Queenie and hit her. He had obeyed since he was hypnotized. "You know you don't have to make him watch as you hit me." Queenie who had regained her breath said. Mishael picked up his glass and walked close to her. "Then where's the fun?" Queenie sighed and lowered her head. "You do know they might not find the diary, don't you?" "Yes, I do." "That's good to know. What do you intend to do when they don't find it?" She asked and the man grinned crazily. "I intend to cut off your body parts for every hour it takes them to find it. It'll be a really unfortunate sight if they don't hand me that diary." Mishael replied, taking a slip from his cup. "I can help you find it. My mother stayed away from home almost all the time. So I made it a habit to follow her thinking she was cheating on my dad.

    Knight's Mansion Natasha watched the funeral from a reasonable distance. She turned and headed back to her room when a hand reached out and dragged her into a corner. "It's me." Lucian shushed Natasha who was about to become violent making her freeze momentarily. She looked up to see her three elder brothers looking down at her with stoic looks. This was the closest she had been with them ever since they grew up. "I didn't come to cause Queenie any harm." She told them after a minute passed with none of them saying anything. However, her words were far from what Lucas needed to hear. He opened his mouth to say something. Fortunately, Lucian beat him to it. "When did you become so close to Queenie?"Natasha looked up at them silently. It was clear from the look in her eyes she wanted nothing other than to run away from them. But that only made the protective brothers curious. "I'm sorry but I'm not supposed to be discussing that with you." She told them after their gazes became

    Queenie's pupils dilated as soon as she heard that name. "Now, give me the envelope." David said afterward and Queenie reluctantly gave it to him. There was no debating it. If she resisted, David would kill himself and Mishael would send someone else after her. If she still refused to hand it over, the same thing would keep repeating. David glanced at the envelope quickly before putting it into his suit pocket. Then he glanced up at her and said, "Mishael says thank you." He got up and lowered his gun. "Mishael, that bastard!" She groaned, trying her best to rein the anger within her. How Mishael had manipulated David to be so stupid was what baffled her. "Give me the gun." She told him but the boy shook his head with a confused look. "I don't want to give it to you." "Then point it at me before I get my hands on you." David had an even more confusing look on his face when he heard her. He glanced at his gun again and tried to point it at her but realized he couldn't. "Queen

    "When did you find out?" Lucas asked. "Yesterday during my talk with Deborah." Queenie replied, "When did you two get your information as well?" "Oh, from Mary Leicester. She was one of the founding members of the experiment." Roxanne retorted. Lucas also nodded in agreement. "In as much as I want to continue this discussion, I have a father and a husband to mourn. After this funeral, I'll get to the bottom of all this." Queenie sighed and got up. Lucas and Roxanne also took that as their cue to leave and left as soon as Queenie made her way into her closet. "You think she's really affected by Pierce's demise?" Roxanne asked sadly as they walked in the corridor. "I don't know." Lucas said, at a loss at what to say. Queenie had always been one who hated revealing her emotions to people. He could imagine how hard it was for her. Not only had she lost the only father figure she had, she also lost her husband on the day of her father's funeral. Anyone would be racked up with pain.
