His head was throbbing."Do you want your kids to grow up as orphans?"He frowned at his words. "You took them away from their mother and kept them in that mansion while you're still at your penthouse. What's the meaning of this? They have grown up without a father. You have now also separated them from their mother. If you can't stay with them, then why did you take them?" William continued to scold him, without giving him a chance to speak."Grandpa I..""This's the last time I've helped you." he cut him off. Xander paused upon hearing this."You asked her to bring them back." he said. It was a statement rather than a question."Yes.""Thank you.""But if you make another mistake... I'll never ask her to reconsider anything. Don't disappoint me.""It's only a few days, Grandpa. I'm still processing the fact that
"How dare you slap her?" Emma got up in a rage. Ariadne raised her hand, telling her to remain silent. Cathy put her hand over her mouth, shocked. She couldnt believe her eyes that Ariadne slapped Crystal in front of everyone. Crystal's nostrils flared up with rage and she covered her cheek with her hand. However, she composed her expression and changed it to one of submission. Her eyes welled up, as well. Xander sat, silently."Who gave you the right to slap my daughter?" Ariadne yelled.Crystal looked at Xander helplessly. Xander's gaze was fixed on Ariadne."Why are you not saying anything, Mr Blake? She slapped your fiancee." Emma looked at Xander.He was silently watching the drama, saying nothing. "Didn't you two come here on your own? Crystal even slapped Autumn to discipline her as an aunt. So, why should I interfere? Ariadne is her mother and has every right to be angry about it. Now, deal with it." Xander said, irritated.He didn't like that they disobeyed his words and c
Later that evening, Xander called Cathy to check on the kids. "How are the kids doing?" he asked as soon as Cathy answered the call. Cathy moved to a corner and looked around. "The kids are quiet a nuisance, Mr. Blake." she replied, clenching her jaw. Xander frowned. "Did they cause any trouble? Are they trying to leave the mansion again?" "No, Sir." "Then what happened?" "Um.. I made them some healthy food, but they refused to eat. They became angry as I didn't let them eat junk foods... And Autumn broke a vase. When I scolded her, she began to cry. Adrian even got into a fight with me." she said in a tired tone. Xander sighed with relief as he heard this. He was afraid the children would demand to see their mother again. "Oh... They don't know you, so they will not obey you. Let Mary handle them. You don't have to do anything. Just make sure she and the children had everything they needed." he instructed. "Okay, Sir... don't worry. I'll follow Mary's instructions. T
"Oh.. Crystal. You're so selfless and kind-hearted. I'm proud of you." Emma said. Margaret still looked dissatisfied, but she said nothing. The three women made a mental note to deal with Ariadne and the kids in their own way. Aaron remained silent. "How is the third kid? What exactly happened to him?" Crystal asked, concerned. Xander sighed as he thought about Alex. He felt sorry for him. "His legs were disabled since birth, so he couldn't walk." he said. Margaret and Emma exchanged glances while Crystal wore a sad expression. "I'm sorry. It's very unfortunate." she said with a sad tone. "Yeah... but he has undergone surgery and will be able to walk after the treatment." Xander added with a smile. "Oh.. wow... that's a great news." Crystal said excitedly. "I will visit him." she added. Xander fell silent. "Can we talk in private?" he asked. "Yeah... sure" Crystal nodded and stood up. She took him to the first-floor balcony. "What's it? Is there any problem with him?" s
It had been two days since Xander had taken Adrian and Autumn. Ariadne hadn't seen them in person. She was a little bit busy these days, and couldn't go to school to meet them. She could meet them at the mansion, but she didn't want to go there. That mansion was her worst nightmare. She communicated with them through video calls. She was wary of Crystal's next move and had warned Mary about Cathy. That woman was a backstabber. Mary informed her that she hadn't tried anything until now. However, Ariadne was aware that it was only a matter of time before they acted. Tiara still hadn't returned from Purple City, so Ariadne spent the nights in the hospital. Xander had arranged for another nurse to stay with Alex. However, at night, Ariadne dismissed them. Xander, on the other hand, was dealing with the accident on the construction site. He didn't go to meet the kids. These days, he remained silent and met nobody. Crystal had tried to meet him, but he had told her that he wouldn't speak w
*((FLASHBACK))* "Are you going to meet that girl?" Margaret asked. "It's none of your business. I'm not attending the family dinner... and that's final." Xander replied. He stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his hair. Margaret was angry as she wanted him to attend the dinner. However, she was enraged more by the fact that he was going to meet Ariadne. She was furious when William arranged Xander's marriage to Ariadne. She didn't like that girl at all. She argued that she was unworthy of Xander. However, neither William nor Xander listened to her. She couldn't understand what they saw in that brat. "I'm your mother. You will talk to me respectfully." she warned him. "You forget that you're my mother sometimes." Xander remarked as he sat on his bed and put on his shoes. "I don't like that girl. She's not worthy of you. There are many beautiful girls from the Royal families. You can choose one of them. Your grandfather will not object." "Why don't you like her?" "Th
"Where to, Boss?" Jose asked as he sat in the passenger seat. Xander had already sat in the back seat. "To the mansion." "Okay." The car drove away from the Watson Group's premises. . Linda helped Ariadne stand and led her to the couch. She brought her a glass of water. "Drink it, Madam." Ariadne took the glass and drank the water. Her phone began to ring on the desk. Linda brought the phone for her. Ariadne noticed it was a call from Mary. "Hello." she answered the call. "Aria, the kids are not in school." Mary's worried voice came from the other side. "What?" Ariadne stiffened. She checked the time and realized it was time for school to end. "When I asked the teacher, they told me that someone from the family came and took them a few hours ago." Mary informed. "I'm scared, Aria." Ariadne fell silent. Someone picked them up from school. It must be Xander. She didn't expect him to act so quickly. Sweat had covered her face. "What happened, Aria?" Mary
Xander was deep in thought as he walked out of the room. Toby and Jose trailed behind. Xander had provided his samples for testing. He was still denying that the kids could be his. "We will know the results tomorrow." Toby said. They returned to the room. It was already evening. "You both return to the penthouse. I'll spend the night here." he added. Toby would stay and ensure that the test was conducted correctly. Xander sighed before nodding. . Tiara arrived at the hospital in the evening. "Hello, Alex." she said as she entered the room. "Hello, Tiara." Alex smiled at her. Tiara approached the bed and hugged him. She sat on the couch as they broke their hug. "Have you brought my favourite cookies?" Alex asked. "Yes. Mommy has prepared these for you." Tiara took out a small box full of cookies and gave it to Alex. "Yeeehh... mommy is so sweet!" Tiara smiled at his enthusiasm. "I'm going to Purple City today. So I can't stay. Aunt Bella will stay with you. Okay?" "Ok
Toby took the lift to the second floor. When he arrived at room 18, he was surprised to see two bodyguards outside. They weren't ordinary guards. They were the Blake family's bodyguards. They worked for William. "What are you doing here?" he asked them. "We're here on duty, Sir." one of the bodyguards stated. "What duty?" "To protect the child inside the room." "Did old Mr. Blake send you?" "Yes, Sir." Toby frowned, unsure why William would want to protect Ariadne's child. "Okay. Is the child inside?" "Yes. But, there's an order that no outsiders be allowed in the room." the guard informed him. Toby became more confused. "I'm not an outsider and this's Mr. Blake's order." he said. As Xander's most trusted men, Toby and Jose had authority over the other employees. Others obeyed their orders. "Okay, Sir." Toby entered the room, closing the door behind him. However, when his gaze landed on the child in the bed, he stiffened. ... Xander arrived at the construction site. H
In a garden, a well-dressed and handsome boy was standing in a corner, hiding one of his hands behind his back. There was a birthday celebration in the middle. His eyes were fixed on a cute girl dressed in a blue princess dress, surrounded by a few kids of her age. They were chatting and laughing. The boy didn't approach them as he didn't know anyone except for that little girl. He was silently watching her with a smiling face and affection reflecting in his eyes. Suddenly, another little girl, dressed in a pink princess dress, appeared from nowhere and approached the boy. "Hi, what are you doing here alone?" the girl asked. She had been watching the boy for some time before she approached him. The boy felt uncomfortable being seen in such an awkward moment. The girl peeked behind his back and noticed the gift he was holding. "OMG. You brought a gift for me!" The girl almost jumped in excitement. "Thank you." she tried to take the gift from the boy's hand, but he ...
