Susan was scared to death when she entered the living room in Richard's house. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw her son, Michael, sitting comfortably beside that good-for-nothing, proud, and eccentric fellow that called himself Richard Williams. She stepped in just in time to hear Richard promise to sign a certain document, and when she looked closer, there was a paper in his hands.'Sign what?' Susan yelped, snatching the paper from Richard. 'You are not going to sign anything. Michael, where's your sister? You both, let's go home. A frantic Susan barked relentlessly.'Mummy, not now. He was going to sign it. Why did you come now?' Michael protested. He was glad that he was going to succeed in his plans to get his supposed dad, Richard, to take care of them and hand them a better life, and it was going to be documented. But Susan had come to spoil the fun and success.Susan didn't care for what her son, Michael was saying, all she knew for sure was that they were in dangerous t
'The boy is right. If we do not know ourselves from Adam, how come we have two kids together? Cute ones at that' Richard asked. He was still angry for various reasons, but he kept his anger in check and maintained a friendly look. Susan could not believe the words that had come out of Richard's mouth. How could someone be so shameless in life? She wondered. He was trying to use what his son had just said as leverage to claim the kids. She shook her head.Of course, she could remember Richard very well. Some disgusting one-night stand had happened between them five years ago, that led to her giving birth to these angelic twins. But it was an accident, and Richard Williams was not welcome in her and her kids' lives.'Son, are you going to allow him...' Richard started to tell Michael, nodding at the butler.'...will you allow him to take you to play elsewhere? I have a lot of toys in a playroom, the ones I played with when I was your age' Richard asked. Apart from wanting his kids to be
'If you have such a loud and offensive mouth, I think you deserve to be punished' Richard scowled at Susan.'You cannot stand here, in my own house for that matter, and say any nonsense you like at me, without being punished for it he added. Richard looked at Susan in anger and the fact that he could not do anything to show her how angry he was made him further upset.Susan, on the other hand, had grown uncomfortable. She had come to take her kids home, that was what she was in that house for. But currently, the atmosphere around her was weird, it didn't seem like an atmosphere where a fight was going to ensue, rather it felt like sex was lingering in the air. She beat herself up silently because she felt that she had deviated a great deal.'Please, hand my daughter over to me quickly. I want to leave Susan told Richard in a quiet tone. She knew that continuing down the path of rage would only make Richard happy to flaunt his aura at her, trying to get her to submit to him via that ch
As soon as Richard mentioned Joey's name, Susan's eyes filled up with tears. She thought of the fact that Joey and her mother could not just stop being evil, and showing her so much hate and contempt. After the incident happened with Richard in the hotel where he took her innocence, Susan left her family's house for good on the instruction of Joey and her mother. Now she had returned and wanted to do as little as taking the items that her mother had left behind for her, yet Joey denied her that as well, and also threatened to burn the items that Susan so desperately wanted. It had been two days since the incident happened with Joey, and Richard mentioning Joey's name now only made Susan afraid, wondering if the items had indeed been burnt. She shook her head at the thought of it. How could people be so wicked, for no reason?'Just tell me what happened, Susan' Richard said when he saw the tears that rolled down her cheeks. She looked as if she was going through so much untold pain.'I
'Whore' Richard muttered to his hearing alone. The fact that Susan jumped on an invite from a man without a second thought. Look at how excited she was while she answered that phone call. If she were not a whore, why would she be so quick to accept the invitation at night? Richard thought.'If you want them, you can go and look for them by yourself. I am not going to find them for you' Richard said, sulking while at it. He sat back into his chair and relaxed as much as he could, uninterested in Susan and whatever she was thinking of.'You are the height. Of all the men that I have met in this world, you are the worst of all of them' Susan said, and then headed into whatever direction that her legs carried her, in a bid to search for her kids.She was determined to find her kids, it did not matter what she had to do. If she had to clear out the entire building, she would do it until she found them.Richard smiled when Susan left. Of course she was going to get lost in one of his traps.
'Please wipe your eyes Susan. You don't look good with all those tears stuck on your face. And your nose as well. What is up with that so much flu coming out of it?' Richard asked Susan in disdain. He turned around after she bumped into his stone-like body and showed his disapproval.'Oh, please' Susan replied. 'All the time that I was begging you to allow me to see them, if you had obliged me, it would not have gotten this bad. My face would not have been this messed up'. Susan replied defensively.'Oh, you thought in this life that your face has not been messed up? You have felt beautiful the entire time?' Richard asked Susan scornfully.'I beg your pardon?' Susan replied with gusto. 'Of course, I have had men pursue me for an intimate relationship, until now I still have them pursue me. What the hell do you think that you are talking about? There is something wrong with you in the first place, I bet everyone knows that. So if you consider me as not good enough for your eyes, I will
'I don't owe anyone an explanation concerning how I live my life. And you had better watch your tongue, you are beginning to get on my nerves' Richard told Susan.'The effrontery' Susan replied. She was surprised at Richard's response. 'You are always so egotistical and boastful. Be careful, or else your tongue strangles itself and becomes useless to you' Susan scoffed at him.Richard could not believe the position that he was in. Nobody had ever dared to talk back at him, ever. It had never happened before since he was no longer a kid. Yet Susan was tossing him around like this? He was shocked.'Susan, listen to me and listen very clearly. If you still want to see your kids, then you should be careful the way you talk to me. You can't see your kids like this. With this loud mouth and tongue wagging that you are feeding me with. It cannot work that way' Richard warned.'I cannot remember being impolite to you. I have matched your energy at every given time, so what are you talking abo
'Take me to her quickly. If she falls sick, just know that you are the cause of it, and I will reprimand you for it until you cannot take it anymore' Susan told Richard. She hated seeing her kids sick. The suffering that they encountered when they were ill was usually too heart wrenching.'Let's go this way' Richard told her. Now he was willing to cooperate, seeing that his kid's health was at stake. He had stopped fighting with Susan, at least for now. Never had he had to raise any kids. This was the first time in his life, as a matter of fact, that he had been this close to kids. He was learning.As expected from someone as egocentric and pompous as Richard, he did not even fancy having kids around him.'They are such a noisy bunch' he told a friend of his at one time in his life. But his kids were about to change his idea about how little ones were to be treated. Richard was now running towards Judy. Unlike his usual boastful steps, this one had a bit of urgency attached to it. Sus
Susan was furious. Joey was trying to bring up her shameful past in front of Jacob, and the way she was going about it was full of mockery and insult. Joey's own mom, who doubled as Susan's stepmother had drugged her, and then when she became unconscious, sent her to the hotel where the disgusting man who was now the father of her kids had broken her innocence while she was not even aware of what was going on with her. How ruthless. How could she be able to tell Jacob that sort of story of her life? Of course not. She was not going to do that.''What is she talking about, Susan?'' Jacob asked. The more Joey hinted at the reason Susan ran away to a foreign country, the more curious Jacob became.''Please dear, let's just continue to eat in peace. There's nothing to know'' Susan told Jacob calmly. She was determined to maintain a smooth relationship with him. If she dared to talk about her nasty experience, she was not sure how Jacob would react.''She has been with other men, Jacob. It
Susan arrived at the Beathrow Restaurant a couple of minutes later. A lot of luxury cars were lined up from side to side, protecting a limousine that stood in its grace and beauty between the cars that guarded it.A tall and handsome man with legs that were as long as stilts stepped out of the car. His face shone brightly as the sun and all heads were turned toward his direction because of the grace and aura he carried. However, these lurking eyes could not behold the stern gaze that the cold and emotionless man returned at them. He oozed arrogance and pomposity, so much so that no one could walk in the same space with him. His presence and appearance definitely felt like a shame to any other men that were not on his level and status.A proud Richard Williams led his bodyguards into the reserved elevator section of the Beathrow restaurant.While he was in the elevator, his jaw clenched and unclenched in nervousness, anxiety, and a bit of anger at the fact that he knew Susan was in tha
''Keep an eye out on them for me. And always call or come back to tell me what is going on, okay?''Richard ordered his bodyguards to man the district where his kids lived with their mother, Susan, and their aunt, Mabel.After what Michael revealed in the car on their way to the district they lived in, Richard could not leave without making sure that he appointed guards to watch over them. If Richard came to hear at any time that his kids were missing, he was sure going to lose his mind. So he acted hurriedly.As expected, Richard did not drive himself home. He sat behind the car and let his thoughts wander away, thinking about his children.''Are you okay, Susan?'' Aunt Mabel asked when Susan entered the house with the kids and shut the door behind her. Susan quickly walked over to the window and appeared to be worried while she peeped outside.''What's going on outside, what are you looking at?'' Aunt Mabel asked.''Mummy is looking at our daddy's car'' Michael the mischievous one r
''Exactly Michael. You know how unsafe it is to have all these mean-looking men glaring at you angrily, so it is better that you stay away from him. Don't go close to him because only mean people move around with these mean men'' Susan told her inquisitive son.Richard's face immediately got distorted after Susan made this unwholly remark. He was upset because he knew that Michael had taken his mother seriously after she made such a comment about him.''My dear boy, I have to move around with them so that I can be safe and get to wherever I am headed, quickly. Don't mind your mom, I'm not a bad person. Okay?'' Richard asked Michael. Michael completely agreed with his dad on this one.''It is true mom. Daddy is right. If we have the mean-looking men with us, you won't have to be afraid that anyone wants to take Judy and I away, you know that you are always afraid of it happening.'' Michael told his mother, Susan.''What did you say?'' Richard barked suddenly at Michael. He slowed down
Judy woke up uncomfortable. She smacked her cheeks urgently as if something was itching her. Maybe Richard's excessive kisses on her face caused her such discomfort.''What?'' Richard asked urgently when Judy's face started to distort. It seemed as if she wanted to cry. He got up in a haste, feeling that Judy had grown tired of the position that he held her in, and started to rock her back to sleep while he held her in his arms, gently cooing her back to dreamland, but Judy woke up. Her eyelashes fluttered open, and her large eyes blinked in front of Richard's face.When Richard looked into her eyes, he saw that they were so pure. Like the sky on a bright sunny day, they shone and gleamed at him, blinking gently and trying to get used to the environment that they were faced with.''Mummy...'' Judy cooed as soon as she got a complete hold of her senses.''It's me, Judy, it's Daddy that's here with you now'' Richard told her.''No, I want mummy now. Not you, mummy. I want mummy''. Judy
''Richard wants to see you''. Susan told the butler when she found him outside the living room, staring in the direction of the ocean.''Take her to look for the boy'' Richard ordered, and soon enough, the butler and Susan were on their way to fetch Michael from wherever he was. They drove in a cart across the expanse of the beach, scheming through the foot of the mountain and past the forest. Susan heaved a deep sigh. This was the definition of wealth. She quickly snapped back to the moment when she realized that she was having pleasant thoughts concerning something that had to do with Richard. Nothing could ever make her see Richard in a pleasant light. The son of a bitch that was trying to take her kids from her, never!The butler took her to a massive toy room, and there she found Michael. He was lost in another world. Focused, yet his face flushed with excitement while he swam in the abundance of toys that graced him in that room.He was in the company of Richard's assistant, who
It was impossible to get Judy to sleep if she was not being cuddled. Susan would usually do the most for Judy, just to appease her to fall asleep, yet this man had easily sent her to dreamland effortlessly.Susan could not explain how upset she was. She could feel it in her bowel. Her insides twisted and turned in pain at the thought of this recent development. She stepped out of the bathroom and got dressed, only for her to see that Judy was still in Richard's arms. The look on his face spoke of contentment. He was fine by himself, sitting on a couch and staring into space while Judy slept peacefully on his shoulder. Susan had hardly ever seen her this peaceful. She wished that she could snatch her daughter away from Richard at once. She felt irked to the core.''Shhh...'' Richard hushed Susan when she suddenly appeared in front of him, looking as if she wanted to continue with her ranting from where she stopped.''Don't make a sound'' he added. Susan was taken aback by the way Richa
Susan was not trying to commit suicide actually. She was embarrassed at the ugliness that her tears and flu had caused on her face. She had been crying her eyes out, literally. When she entered the ocean, she could easily give the excuse that her eyes were swollen because of the seawater, and sand that had made their way into her eyes.While she was trying to step out after succeeding in rinsing her face in the ocean, she felt his arms grab her waist. Richard grabbed her and pulled her out of the water, and she stumbled into his embrace.''You want to commit suicide just because I found my kids?'' Richard asked her. As far as he was concerned, she wanted to take her life for such a trivial reason.''Excuse me?'' Susan replied, clearing her throat violently of the water that had forced its way into her mouth and nose. Suicide? I was not trying to commit suicide''. She replied. If it were possible, Susan wanted to live for another one thousand years.''Get your dirty hands off me. Leave
''Mummy, where are you going?'' Judy asked when she turned around because she heard her mom's footsteps leaving the space that they were in. Judy had almost slept off on Richard's shoulder with that damn hug, and Richard was ready to stay there for as long as Judy deemed fit.''I'm going to take a walk'' Susan replied. Tears! Tears of defeat had filled her eyes, and she did not want Judy nor Richard to see them, so she did not turn back to look at them.''Are you sure mummy? If you are going back home, I will go back home with you'' Judy cooed. Finally, she had come back to her senses. She was afraid that Susan would leave her there with Richard, and never come back to pick her up again. It bothered her a great deal.Judy was only interested in Richard's cake and nothing else. Of course, she wanted to stay with her mother in the long run, not Richard.''Mummy, wait...'' Judy said while she started trying to break free from Richard's grip. Just when he was starting to bask in the eupho
