All of the parents file into the class with the teacher in front. He's a pudgy man with a slightly large belly but not big enough to be called a pot belly. He has a scattered mane of dirt brown hair and it falls in wisps down his ears."Good morning sirs snd mas. Say welcome to your parents."All the children turn around and wave, except the twins.Mika had told them that morning that they should not show the presence of their parents there so they can see how he really treats them in class. Obviously, the teacher notices as they didn't turn around so he just assumes that their parents are not around and it's an avenue to use them as examples in his class."So we are starting the mathematics class now." He turns to the board and writes down a basic topic of division.Trying to make the class interactive and fun, he turns to the children with a smile that obviously doesn't suit him. "Who can tell me what division means?"He looks around and there's no hand up at first, but then Maya's
Daniella sighs for the umpteenth time as she wanders around the city, looking around for help wanted signs or vacancy notices outside large buildings.Of course, she's started to regret just resigning like that, on an angry whim. "I'm so stupid. Good jobs are so hard to find lately." She mutters to herself as she crosses the road after the light turns red for cars and green for passengers.Just then, a black van stops in front of her.The back door opens and a man exits with a mask on his face.Immediately sensing danger and insecurity, she begins to back away but the man is quite fast and before a person can blink to see what's happening, she's been carried into the car and the sliding doors closed.The car zooms right off and of course, it's a busy thursday afternoon which means many people see it happen but everyone cares about themselves anyway, so a broad daylight kidnap is not one of their day's worries thereby as soon as the van drives off, others continue their own activities,
Dean Lawney comes forward and stands between Mika and the teacher. "Ma'am, you had promised there won't be any violence." She states.Mika smiles apologetically. "I'm sorry ma'am. He promised no violence and I vouched for him, not me. I'm free because he hit my children with his filthy hands. Hit my daughter in her backside with that same hands. How do you expect me take that sitting down?""I understand your worries ma'am but..."Luc comes and stands right beside Mika. "I don't think there's any buts here. You're going to have to choose between keeping this teacher and losing me and my children from this school. I assure you, you don't want to pick the wrong thing."Right in the class next door, Lily takes Connor into his class and helps him settle down. "I'm sorry he's coming so late ma'am. I dressed him up late and he went to bed late because of his assignments."Some loud voices filter with the air into their class and Lily uses the opportunity to ask. "If you don't mind me asking
Daniella woke to the sound of a car pulling up outside her house. Peeking through the curtains, she spotted the familiar black van parked by the curb. Anxiety gripped her chest as she hurriedly gathered her essentials and dashed downstairs. Her heart's in her mouth, she can't run away, she's pretty much trapped, trapped doing something she absolutely doesn't want to.The men in black suits were already at her doorstep, impassive as ever. One of them even nodded curtly, or maybe as a joke as she approached. "Daniella, please come with us. We have a flight to catch. We have to hurry."Flight? Daniella's mind raced. Somehow, she had thought they would have left her alone or something. Maybe it was just a late June prank, a massive one. Maybe it was all just a dream and she needed to wake up. But... It doesn't seem like it anymore. She entered into the car obediently and sat down, even having enough courage to wound down the window to let the breeze of San Francisco hit her in the face.I
Luc is the one who wakes Mika up the next morning with a gentle knock on her door.Groggy at how early it is but it's not exactly early but because she's not heading anywhere the whole day until later in the evening, she walks to the door and opens it for him, stepping aside so he can come inside the dimly lit room. As soon as she sees its Luc, her eyes open up immediately and she's completely awake. She uses her hands to ruffle her hair into place and he chuckles."It's fine, I'm sorry for waking you up so early. I just had to give you something." He outstretched his arm to her with a small envelope.She looks at him first before taking it, her hands finally leaving her hair but as soon as it does, it springs back into its former, bedridden place making Luc chuckle into his hands. She tears open the envelope with both of them standing in the middle of the room awkwardly. She opens the invitation inside and she gasps softly. She looks up at him with elated eyes. "This is...""Yes, it
At around eleven am that morning, her care attendant came over with a large suitcase with her. She's examined at the door since she'll be working with Mika and the security, for some reason, seems to have tightened the past two days.Luc is the first to meet her. He extends his hands for a shake. "I'm Lucas.""I'm Saraswati.""Nice to meet you, I'm the... boyfriend of the woman you're about to take care of. I put her under your care, please, be careful." He stresses on the please do much that Saraswati smiles. "I'm a professional at my work sir. I'm pretty sure all will be well. Can I meet her now?""Of course. She'll take you up to her room."A lady curtesies politely and leads the way into the elevator.After about two minutes, the lady opens the door to the room and Mika walks to the door from her bed. She smiles, and as soon as Saraswati sets her eyes on Mikayla, she smiles right back. "You've made my work much easier with your smile."Mika laughs. "Does that come with the servic
He looks right into her eyes and sees them looking right at him, slightly furrowed and...Expectant?He's completely unsure but she's sitting on his legs and is not making any move to stand up. Unable to hold it in any longer, he exhales and leans into her.Inadvertently, she leans in as well and they meet in the middle, their lips colliding in acceptance and confirmation of one another's wants at that particular moment.He puts one hand behind her neck and holds her still and their kids becomes fiery with unchecked emotions. Her lips get swollen but thankfully, her lipsticks don't smear. His on the other hand does most of the exploring through the inner crevices of her mouth, relishing the warmth of our tongue and it's inviting nature.After about five minutes, they pull away for a minute, taking deep breaths and looking intently at one another."I've wanted to do that from the first day I set my eyes on you. Apron smeared with icing and some red sauce, your hair packed up into a pon
Luc glares at the reporter and he shrivels into the throne of people who's watching the scene.The camera's go crazy with the simple gesture of him covering her with his suit coat and he leads her away from them. "I'm sorry, I thought you were ready and didn't think they would be that insensitive."Mika takes a deep breath as she tips her head back and takes a very deep breath, whilst sighing after. "I'm sorry too, just asking me like that made me lose my guard."He shakes her shoulders gently and softly as they approach the manned doors. He extends his invitation to them and one of the opens the large doors to let them in.Just then, there's an additional flurry of camera's and people. Curiously, Mika looks back and sees a couple stepping out of a large black SUV.Just then, the doors close behind them and there her view ended even though there had been something familiar about the said couple but the inside of the hall is more than enough distraction from what she's racking her head
