“How would you go about it, then? I want to hear your thoughts,” Thaddeus asked Mona.

“Come with me to school on Monday. Millie was in the wrong for hitting, but that’s not a reason to expel a child. Let’s try to reason with them.”

Thaddeus nodded his head. “We’ll go with your idea. You have my full cooperation.”

It was his habit not to waste time or effort on trivial matters like these. He was better off using the time to make money. However, he was not going to go against Mona’s wishes.

“Alright. So it’s settled. We’ll meet at the school entrance at eight o’clock on Monday. You can leave now since you’ve finished your food. I’m going to bed now.”

“Where can I go? Who was the cause of my arm injury?” Displeased, Thaddeus pointed at his injured arm.

Mona pursed her lips in helplessness before conceding. “Fine. You can stay here, but I can’t be at your beck and call like a nanny. I have things to do.”

Thaddeus spoke of his displeasure and reflected the hurt in his express

    Mona pursed her lips, getting the feeling that the man was letting himself go. There were no boundaries to the man’s indecency once he stripped away his unfeeling front. “Of course not.” “But I’m a normal man with needs.” Thaddeus was helpless. Mona put her hands in the air. “I’m not stopping you from taking care of your needs. You can get with any woman you want. I’m sure there’s a line of women who can’t wait to get into your pants.” The man scoffed in disgruntlement. “You’re just playing dumb.” “I don’t get it.” Mona’s mind harked back to her conversation with Marianne. Marianne said nothing would happen even if Thaddeus were alone in a room with a woman. At one point, Marianne had her suspicions that Thaddeus was asexual. Thaddeus nodded his head in annoyance. His arms drooped as he croaked, “But I only want you. All I want is you.” Mona dropped her jaw. The sudden love confession came out of nowhere. The first thought to jump into her mind was to run away. Sh

    Thaddeus’s daughter’s cheerful giggles swept away all his frustrations and annoyances. He had never felt better. Lifting his arms up high, Thaddeus hurled Millie into the air. “Are you happy, my precious daughter?” Millie chuckled and replied, “I am! I am!” The smile on Millie’s face drove Thaddeus to work harder to make her happy while ignoring the throbbing pain coming from his injured arm. The laughter and chatter of the father and daughter echoed through the stairs, waking Mona and Bobby up. Mona rubbed her eyes as she lay in bed and monitored to frolic downstairs, suddenly realizing what a comfortable environment it was to be in. It seemed as though she woke up on the right side of the bed. She sat up and stretched, feeling refreshed in the morning. Mona got out of bed, put on her fluffy slippers, and went to wash up. After a change of clothes, she made her way to the stairs and stood by the staircase as she picked up on the conversation between the father and daugh

    “We’ve got to play good cop and bad cop. Otherwise, it will be hard on the child.” Mona was in a daze as Thaddeus had a point. She had jumped the gun. “Don’t cry, Millie. Come on. Let me hold you.” Thaddeus lowered his head and looked tenderly at Millie. He lovingly caressed her eyes and spoke with love and patience. “My bum hurts.” Millie jumped into Thaddeus’s arms and whined while rubbing her snot and tears on Thaddeus. Thaddeus took the bad with the good, laying aside that he had a thing against germs. Mona was moved to witness the deep bond between the father and daughter. There was a certain appeal to the man when he was earnest and patient. She looked away and proceeded to get breakfast when her gaze fell on the man’s arm. Mona was startled by the blot of red spreading across the sleeve of his shirt. “Your arm is bleeding.” It was then Thaddeus turned his attention to his injury. He took a fleeting glance. “It’s fine. It won’t kill me.” “Why aren’t you more c

    The teachers were waiting in the faculty office when Mona and Thaddeus dropped the kids off at school on Monday morning. The principal had given out an order on Sunday to settle the fight between Jim and Millie once and for all. The instruction overtly and covertly put pressure on the homeroom teacher to expel Millie from school. Since it was a direct order from above, the teacher had no choice but to comply. Besides, Millie struck the boy so hard that the boy needed medical attention. There had to be consequences for the committed offense. Mona and Thaddeus stepped into the office one after the other, and the teachers in the room lifted their heads to turn toward the imposing presence. Their attention was instantly drawn to the beautiful couple. Thaddeus was of a lanky build, and his sharp suit gave prominence to his lofty height. Next to him, Mona was petite, and her translucent skin was clear and glowing. Like the main characters in a soap opera, they made a grand entrance.

    Thrown into a tizzy, the homeroom teacher urged, “Um… Take it easy, Millie’s mom. There’s no need to go to court over a trivial matter.” “That’s right. Why is Millie getting expelled if it’s only a trivial matter?” Mona snapped back. There was no way she was going to put up with it now that the school had tried patience. “I’ll tell you what. Let me give my superior a call for advice.” Caught between a rock and a hard place, the homeroom teacher took her phone and went out of the faulty office to make a phone call to her superior. Thaddeus gave Mona’s hand a tug to gesture to her to sit down. “Why throw a fit? There’s no need for that,” The man spoke nonchalantly as if nothing was wrong. Mona drew a deep breath. “I’m livid. They’re just looking for any kind of excuse to pin the blame on Millie. The offense might be nothing to her now, but it would show on her permanent record that she was expelled due to fighting when she reaches adolescence. What do we do then?” “That won

    Mona looked at the dashing man keeping to himself before glancing at the members of the school board, who seemed to be here for a routine inspection. She got her head around that Thaddeus must have summoned these two men here. Thaddeus and the two men exchanged pleasantries and had a quick chat about what had happened between the two children without any embellishment. The factual account provided an insight into whose favor the scales were tipped on. The members of the school board determined that the principal had abused his authority, but they were not in the position to say it out loud as there was a protocol they had to go through instead of jumping to conclusions. The other party should be here as well, so both parties could have a sit-down. Hence, Jim’s parents soon arrived at the faculty office. Jim’s dad was a businessman. As an uncompromising and decisive man, he started to accuse the teacher of wasting his time the moment he stepped into the office. It was supposed

    Things had been going well for the Marshalls in the last few years as the family was coming strong to find a place second only to the four influential families. One of the four influential families – the Yandells had openly shown support to the Marshalls. Arguably, the Marshall family had been the underdog in the business world. Thaddeus fell into contemplation. In other words, the Marshalls were pulling rank thanks to the Yandells’ authority, and the Marshall family’s lapdog had the gall to pick on her daughter. At the end of the day, it was an exploit of another family’s power.Thaddeus callously curled his lips. He had an unsettled grudge against the Yandells, and now their lapdog was out to get his daughter. With a smirk, Thaddeus waved his arm at the member of the school board before stepping out to make another phone call. His connections should come in handy to sort this issue out. The conflict between the two children now involved a power struggle among a few families

    By the time Mona was back from walking Millie to her class, both parties were stuck in a standoff, and no one was willing to budge. Exuding confidence, Thaddeus sat opposite Jim’s parents. While he remained discreet about his status, Thaddeus conducted himself as someone in power. Thaddeus had been keeping a low profile lately, not appearing in business magazines or financial news. He had been turning down social events around the elite circle because of the kids. Jim’s parents rarely had access to higher society, so they did not recognize who Thaddeus was. Sitting across from Thaddeus, the couple looked away from the aloof man and exchanged glances. They were left wondering about Thaddeus’s identity. While Jim’s parents stood their ground, they were actually refraining from making any reckless decision. Standing at the door of the faculty office, Mona could feel the tension at its peak. Although she believed everything was blown out of proportion, there was no need to drag in

    The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked

    It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

    “Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

    “No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

    Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

    The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

    Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi

    With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

    “It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions.
