3RD POV:LATER THAT EVENING:It wasn't even up to an hour and Ross Anderson was trending online but before the video was released, he had sent the video Jeremy had made to Terra and the twins and Terra laughed boisterously in a meeting and everyone turned to look at her but she was the boss, she only closed her phone and quickly ended the meeting, so she could rewatch and laugh.After school, the kids also watched it and laughed so hard, and kept re-watching it over and over again.However, no one knew who in particular uploaded the video to the Internet and with over two hundred staff who were present, it could have been anybody. The entire staff in the company, investors, business associates, regular social media consumers, friends, family, as well as women in the whole world who had a huge crush on Ross, all had only one question and it was the headline of the news.WHAT HAD GOTTEN INTO CEO ROSS ANDERSON? Grandpa Philip simply laughed as he watched the video and then went ahead to
3RD POV:“It's going great. My dress will be arriving on the exact same day and I can't wait. Ross, Nina has picked a dress matching with your suit, as you're her date to the ball.” Mrs Anderson reverted her attention to Ross who had a smile on his face as he read the text from the twins, You did well! We shall pack our belongings and spend time with you. However, there might be a new challenge for you but we don't have any mind yet.See you soon.From THE GREATEST TWINS.“Speaking to the woman, aren't you?” She inquired and Ross sucked his teeth sharply getting irritated being around his mother.“I can see we have nothing to talk about. You are doing fine, I am also doing great. We gave talked, see you whenever.” Ross spoke while packing his belongings and cleaning his mouth with a napkin leaving his food half eaten.“Good night Grandpa, You take care.” Ross touched his shoulder then began walking off but Mrs Anderson wasn't done with her interrogation.“Catherine Williams and Terra
3RD POV:FRIDAY EVENING:It was the Friday evening James had been dreading all week and he had even stopped thinking about as it was time draining. His father had communicated with him to just dress casually and that was James's speciality, but he knew his casual would be different from their type of casual, so he had Walter pick out something for him.Walter picked out a white button down shirt and blue pants, informing him that, “It's what all the billionaires think it's casual, especially Ross Anderson, have you heard of him?” James rolled his eyes in a full circle at the thought of Ross Anderson knowing he was somehow connected with Terra. Though he was trying to get over his feelings for her, it wasn't as easy as he had thought it would be. He had wondered what he had been feeling for Whitney though and he had even asked her to be his date to the dinner tonight but she had declined, giving two reasons. First, it was a family affair and secondly, she had plans tonight.“What pla
3RD POV:Mr Lauder then proceeded to introduce him to Raya, Wendy and Fredy and they were just as dismissive to him but kinder to Ivy and that's all that mattered to James.The servers brought some many delicacies and treats, and it looked just like Thanksgiving with a huge family. With the white lights all around and light from the moon, everything was perfect and it was so serene, the entire smell of good food filling the air along with different smells of rich perfume.“So James, what do you do?” Raya began and it was so funny to James as she had the tone of a mother who is displeased at the fact that her daughter is getting married to some man.“I own a gaming company. J.I GAMING COMPANY.” He responded, taking a sip of his wine watching as Mrs Lily had not spoken or even looked at him but was serving a very picky Ivy food.“No way! The last game release was sick bro. I have to hand that to you.” Fredy complimented in excitement and James smiled appreciating him.“So does that mean
ROSS'S POV:THE NEXT MORNING:I was so exhausted from having the kids since Thursday evening and it was like they were stressing me out on purpose and depriving me of my rest. It was 10 a.m and luckily they were still asleep as they should be after how much they played about throughout the night.After I failed at baking, now I'm wondering why I even attempted to, though I strongly believe it was because of how simple the content creator made it seem in the video I stumbled upon but I eventually threw it all out and ordered. But the kids thought it would be amusing to prank me but they had no idea I was ready for them because after they bathed me with flour, I returned the favor and we eventually had a dough and flour fight and thereby making a mess. I had requested help during their stay, so before I was up this morning, she had cleaned up and I already made sure that the twins cleaned up before they even laid on their beds.It was about 2 a.m when we eventually retired for the night
3RD POV:A FEW MINUTES LATER…Ross did not want Mrs Morris snooping around his house and more importantly, finding about the kids, so he ushered her to sit by the garden so they could talk and she was quite baffled by this and it made her wonder what he was hiding.After they took a seat by the beautiful garden which had different variety of flowers such as lily, rose, hibiscus and others, Ross knew Terra nurtured them while they were still together, so though the flowers were looking weak and about to give up, he often requested his gardener to come by and take care of them and sometimes when he was sad, he did it himself.“So what did you want to talk about?” Ross questioned impatiently, though he trusted the guys, he just didn't want to be away from the kids for a second except it was to be in bed. “Why are we out here and not inside?” She interrogated and Ross shrugged, fixing up the collar of his shirt, “Here is preferable.”She looked at him with suspicion and fear filled her h
3RD POV:“Ohhhh..” The twins spoke simultaneously and Eric then asked, “What's her name? Is she pretty? Do any of you at least have kids?” Then it dawned on Ross that they were just looking for a new playmate but he knew these guys had none though he strongly suspected Chandler might have a child somewhere. Jeremy answered their questions and told them how he met Gianni and Eleanour smiled and muttered, “Aww.”Ross's attention was fixated on their conversation when Eleanour began to discuss her best friend whose name was Ivy and the story of how they became friends had been me thinking.“So Terra dated their ‘Uncle James?’ Or weren't they still together?” He questioned himself looking at Eleanor and the guys.***********4 HOURS LATER:“Ross, I don't care who signed those divorce papers! We are done forever!” Terra shouted looking into Ross's eyes as they were standing in the middle of his office.She had just received papers from his lawyer's office telling her that she is still leg
TERRA'S POV:HOURS BEFORE:“Who are they?” Evelyn questioned with eyes with furrowed her eyebrow looking straight ahead as I was busy staring at the martinis I had just prepared getting carried away by the maids.It was a cool Sunday afternoon, and Whitney, and shockingly Bianca and Gianni were present and Evelyn was finally back from her trip. So we were relaxing by the pool side in my mansion and all four of them looked so peng…or whatever young kids describe pretty now.It was just meant to be Whitney, Evelyn and I but Bianca had reached out to me during the week telling me she needed to talk to me and never ever did I expect all she had shared.Flashback:I arrived at a coffee house in the busy area of town, it was called Mella's Coffee House, and it had the best coffee there which made it so busy in the early mornings making it so hard to even get in, so I avoided stopping by there and settled for Fiona's coffee instead. It was currently mid morning, and less busy now, and this
3RD POV:Soon after they moved into their dream house, with the beautiful gardens, lawns, the most aesthetically pleasing backyard with a huge pool, and huge and wide rooms for all they needed. It was beautiful and to celebrate their marriage, they organized the housewarming/ wedding celebrations and it was a night to remember. Ross had been grinning ever since and his assistant, Mady had quit since he was happy and he had a new young hardworking assistant, Kelly.“You look ravishing.” Evelyn complimented hugging her, grateful her second child, a ten months old baby girl was now sleeping and she could have time to enjoy herself. She often accused Jackson of impregnating her again so she doesn't flourish in her career as a studio owner and it caused arguments but they ended up making love and shutting out negativity and pointless accusations.“You do too. I'm so happy to see you guys.” She hugged the guys, and Whitney. James and Whitney were engaged after James agreed to stay in Saland
TERRA'S POV:“In the abduction and murder Asian Griffin. The court finds you GUILTY!”“In the murder of Amber Griffin, the court finds the defendant ... .guilty.” There were murmurings among the people. It was crazy how she murdered the two sisters…all for what?“In the theft at the supermarket owner, the court found the defendant guilty. “ I shook my head and watched the jury who looked at her with displeasure.“In the harassment charge of two men, the court finds the defendant…not guilty.” “In the attempted murder of Mrs Anderson, the court finds the defendant guilty…” There were more crimes such as gun possession, trespassing on property and she was found guilty for all the crimes.Someone next to me muttered, “I know for sure, she's going to be sentenced to death, as that's what the law of Salandi prescribes as she is definitely a nuisance and multiple murders and attempted murders, Come on. I would know since I am a paralegal.” She bragged and I glanced at her for a second and s
TERRA'S POV:THREE MONTHS LATER:“How busy are you? ‘Cause I was thinking we can go out for lunch so I can make it up to you.” Ross suggested, and I rolled my eyes playfully at him. He knew I was mad at him for him being mad at me for worrying too much and stressing out about the kids as it was their first day at a new school.It had just been hard since the welcome party and literally settling in Salandi was hard for me in a way that it was hard for the kids.“I'm actually extremely busy right now, and I will be heading to Nina's trial as today is the sentencing. Later tonight?” I suggested and he heaved out a sigh, obviously displeased at the fact that I was headed to Nina's trial but I needed to be there. I just had the need. Everyone had been totally stunned hearing that Mrs Morris had killed herself and it was all over the news. Everyone in the golf clubs, and the elites titled the Morris as a pure disgrace, shame and waste.And I truly did not care, as long as my kids and I got
3RD POV:“Nina Morris, daughter of Late Business Tycoon Mr Marcus Morris, has been apprehended for multiple charges, kidnapping of the twins of Billionaire Ross Anderson and Catherine Williams, Murder…..” The reporter listed out..Mrs Morris was seated in front of her television, watching the news with tears running down her cheek, seeing her daughter being labeled as a criminal. Hot tears ran down through her cheeks and her chest rose up and fell repeatedly. “Everyone will view my daughter as a criminal. How could I have given birth to such a useless being? So freaking useless!” She hit the television stand in anger and shook her head.“I have already lost. I have nothing again, no way to clear my name out of Nina's stupidity. I failed as a mother, as an elite woman in society, as everything. I am just as useless and I can't live with it….I just can't.” She cried out and continued mumbling the last sentence as she walked into the room.She grabbed a rope in her closet, mumbling the
3RD POV:A DAY LATER:Terra held onto Eleanour who was sleeping on her lap while holding onto her father's hand as he was sitting next to her on the couch fighting the sleep forming in his eyes. He hadn't closed his eyes ever since the kids were kidnapped.It had been a rough twenty four hours for everybody and for Ross's little family, it had been a rough 72 hours. They had been able to give the old woman and her grandson the sum of a million for their help in finding Nina and the family was given the media space to be able to show their appreciation to Ross and Terra, letting them know it will go a long way in pulling them out of the hand to mouth lifestyle they had been living especially since the grandmother was single handedly raising the boy.“Mummy.” Eric called out from his bed with droopy eyes, and she waved at him with a smile trying her best not to wake Eleanour who was finding it hard to close her eyes.Eric was not shot neither was Ross but Terra still requested he stayed
3RD POV:AN HOUR LATER:Asian was drained and tired but she took great compassion on the twins especially Eleanour, seeing her as a young version of Amber who was sad and always needed her. Which is why she was more than happy when she saw that Nina had left a glass cup on a high table where farmers usually kept stuff for their animals and it was next to them.Her plan was simple, hit it repeatedly till the glass shatters to the floor, afterwards she would move in her seat and with her back facing away, she would hand Eric the glass to unloose the ropes on his hands carefully, afterwards he would unloose both hers and Eleanours. Then they run out to the nearest farm or police station and get help. And safe!This is a solid plan after all …I can do it, what could possibly go wrong? Asian thought to herself, and like an annoying best friend, her mind pictured all the different possibilities of what could happen.“I'm going to try and get us out of here.” She mumbled and the kid's mouth
TERRA'S POV:“No…It's not your fault. I came out for work and for you and I met the love of my life and became a member of a very problematic family, but I guess all families have their own issues. But coming here, it was just the regular day to day activities and then trips during the holiday but coming here made me realize there's a lot more to life. And I just think…everything happens for a reason and I have experienced all I need to here.” The fact that he didn't hold me accountable or become harsh to me made me feel bad for yelling at Ross and his mother…for another person's action.“I have been thinking about moving away as well. Morgan and Sarah have been calling me everyday since they heard of this. And I totally feel the same way you felt about here and Aurenia except I didn't find the love of my life here.” We both chuckled weakly and he responded, “Yeah okay.”As they both discussed more about moving back, unbeknownst to them Ross and Evelyn, who was bringing breakfast, ove
TERRA'S POV:A DAY LATER:It had been more than 35 hours since I had last seen my kids and since the kidnapping. A flier with Nina's face had been posted everywhere and according to my friends and Fiona, the entire police force was working on it.But it was just Nina….what was so hard about finding and capturing her?I had just been numb, and I could neither eat nor sleep. Last night, when I couldn't sleep, I snuck out in my own mansion in order to prevent Evelyn, who was literally everywhere, from waking up. I drove in one of my old sports cars, which allowed the cool night breeze to run through my body and blow away the tears which kept flowing and I drove to weird looking areas, banishing the thought that I might be robbed, and showed them images of Nina if they had come across her but they had nothing.A particularly shabby looking man asked for some money before providing answers, feigning that he recognised her and as soon as I handed him money, he tucked it into his pocket and
3RD POV:They both went ahead to take a seat on the couch in the hospital room.Without giving a response, Ross brought out his phone from his breast pocket. And dialed Nina's contact and placed it on a loudspeaker, the call rang for a moment and at the fourth ring, there was finally an answer making Chandler's eyes go wide in excitement.“Nina, Where are you? Tell me where are you now and what do you want?” Ross asked with desperation and the other line remained silent.“WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?” He shouted in anger, making Chandler jump a bit.“Hello? Who is this? I just found this in the dumpster ... .What did this woman do though I don't have a television so I need some drama?” Ross clung to his hand with so much force, Chandler thought he would crush it so he quickly collected it from Ross.“Okay…okay…A dumpster where? And what's your address?” Chandler asked smartly as he believed it would lead them to Nina or maybe it was the same area.On the other hand, Terra was at the police
