The twins bound out of the elevator with a woman behind them dressed in staff's black and white clothing. They become more excited when they see them in the hallway and run to hug Mika by the legs.

She laughs, way bubblier than he had ever seen her and she bends down to their level, properly hugging them, also not letting what had put her in a bad mood show in the slightest. "Mommy was very bored at home today without you two. I missed you too."

"Miss you too mummy." They respond and give her something each. Maya gives her a bag of chips and Miles gives her a small aeroplane figurine. She takes them, laughing.

"Thank you loves, how about you tell me all you did today over dinner?" She asks them as she holds their hands separately and walk towards the elevator.

Luc scowls slightly and walks behind them, completely forgotten.

    The next morning is a pretty uneventful one but Mika is starting to be bored already so she decides to join the staff while going morning chores. Even though Lucas frowned terribly on it, she's as stubborn as a mule and would do what she decides to, even though it means defying him and she can't help but laugh at the fact that defying him always puts her in a pretty good mood.As she sweeps the front yard, she looks ahead and sees the wide expanse of land he owns to himself and marvels. She hadn't grown up in poverty, oh, not at all. Her family is also wealthy but even to wealth, there's class and hierarchy.If it's a pyramid, Lucas is most definitely at the top triangle while her family, well, former family, would have been in the middle or something close to that. "Do you want to go out ma'am?" One of the staff sweeping along with her asks as she watches her gaze around the place.Mika smiles. "Not really, just a stroll to the gate. How about we go pick flowers by the gate?""Uhm..

    Pretty soon, Mika is tired of being all day everyday, wondering when Luc will let her out. At breakfast at the moment, Mika places her fork down and wipes her mouth with a napkin, drinks water, all stalling for a little time before she speaks."Uhm... Lu... Mr Santinello?"Lucas pauses and looks up at her, puzzled that she'll call him by his last name. "Yeah?" "Can I...?" She starts "No, you can't."Flustered, she loses her cool and throws up her hands. "Come on, I haven't even spoken yet." She half yells.Luc smirks, dropping his fork as well. "Why do you want to leave, don't you have everything you need here already? Even Miles and Maya have started school so ain't you having fun here resting?" "I know and appreciate you doing this all along but I really want to get out there. I can't have them all thinking I'm a lose woman who's clumped in with a man. Well, I am clumped in with a man but not the one they think it is nor for the right reasons. I want to do something."Lucas leans

    Mika wakes up the next day, an extra spring in her step. She even prepares her children for school, listening to all their tales about making new friends and how the school treats them so well and so much more.She's all laughs and fun with them, the opportunity to get back at all of them who hurt her has presented itself and even after almost a week of being idle and watchful around Luc Santinello, she's come to accept that he's no ordinary man.And he himself, well indirectly, told her she could use him for whatever she wanted and that's exactly what she'll be doing. Although, she'll do it in her own way.The first step is to be in a position of power and that's exactly what she's set to do today. After sending off Miles and Maya with kisses on their foreheads, she heads back in to get dressed for whatever Luc had planned for the day.She looks through all her options and decides on a plain black armless jumpsuit and an ash coloured blazer to go with it. She picks out an ash bag fro

    When Luc had said meeting, he meant it quite formally because as soon as he took a chair in his office, he nodded at her. "What are your skills? What do you have that can serve as a business skill?"Not expecting the sudden formality from him, she shivers slightly and recovers immediately. "I have good sales skill, I think I can sell anything. I have good communication skills..."Luc smirks at that, breaking character for a split second. "Yeah, you do." He comments.She raises an eyebrow at him. "I have good teamwork capabilities and will work well on my own if I have to as well... That's pretty much everything I can think of now.""Hm." Luc wonders what the perfect thing for her would be. She has to be in a place of power to command power and although she already has his children, she's pretty much already there, has everything at her beck and call but she doesn't want to make that public yet so he has to use other methods."Do you know anything about fashion?""Barely.

    It was a pretty long day with they going around the city, checking out perfect and suitable points for a mall and some buildings that are for sale as well there.As soon as Mika chose, Luc's eyes furrow. "If you want to stay there, it's completely fine by me but do you want to stay in a place that people never come to?"She looks around and her smile drops. "I didn't note that. That one by the entrance to the shopping district is the perfect choice then. I mean, it was second on my choice list." She smiles and then feels slightly bad because the shopping district building is the most expensive of every one they had checked and somehow, it feels like she's imposing on him.Luc seems to notice the change in her demeanor. "I'm the one doing this for you, you just get to choose. Don't worry, you're not taking undue advantage of me, I think I'll know when that's happening."She looks outside as the silhouettes of buildings and people flick past in a blur.

    She paces around with her phone glued to her ear. "Damn it! Damn it all to hell! What the fuck is happening? First he cancelled on me and now he's boycotting me in the industry? Just for chiding a woman who deserved it?" She says to whoever is speaking to her."Calm down Alicia. Don't get riled up, he's just an old man.""Yes! The same old man that's supposed to give me my new piece. How do you expect me to do this now? I never had to make my clothes myself, I always got help from these people. The show is in three days! Three fucking days! I absolutely have to make this work." She continues to yell, little beads of sweat surrounding her eyebrows and forehead."I can't help you with all this shouting. Will you calm the hell down?" Lily yells over the phone.Alicia takes a deep breath and sighs. "I'm listening.""I know a fashion designer who only makes pieces but never makes them or when she makes them, they don't come out all that beautiful. How about I get one for you? So that can b

    "So, did you do what I asked of you? Regarding the dark web." Luc asks his secretary just as he settles into his office chair. He removes his coat and hangs it behind him and he loosens his tie slightly.He sighs, slightly relieved."The hacker I hired is still working hard on it. It's the dark web so those things don't come easy. But he was able to figure out one thing.""Oh, what is that?""The man who commented. He had quite the trackable ID. His phone was last recorded at a cell phone tower downtown. Around there is just a large lake and nothing more.""It's safe to assume he's not with the phone anymore?""Yes. But one more thing..."Luc rolls his eyes. "How about you just say it all at once and stop giving me bits and pieces?"His secretary smiles chidedly. "I was just keeping the best for last.""Ain't your fault. So what is it?""The man's name is Kevin Rowland. The commenter, I mean. And one of his cell phone calls was recorded around your house sir.

    Alicia, in a daze, walks backstage where all the models are waiting for her, fury written in the lines on their faces. The lines that previously applied makeup had covered but now it's obvious, and it seems like they've all gone up years older than when they just walked the runway few minutes earlier. Wendy is the first to come forward. With the sequin gown in her hand, she looks right into her eyes and flings it down by her feet. "Do you know how much hit this has done to my reputation? Why is it so fucking hard to find honest fashion designers lately? Do you have to steal?" "I didn't..." She starts, hoping to defend herself somehow. "Shove it. Didn't you see this? I looked through all the seam points and lines in the gown and it's exactly the same thing. Save that lie for your family because they are the only ones that I might believe you." Alicia takes the phone from her and looks at it. The search is "2007 Fall Collection for Frederick Gandelier" and there it was. Althoug

    "Do you, Bethany Mikayla Callaghan, take this man, Lucas Pierce Santinello to be your husband?" "I do." Her crisp voice shouts in the beautiful wheat field where the wedding is being held. "Do you, Lucas Pierce Santinello, take this woman, Bethany Mikayla Callaghan to be your wife?" "I DO!" He yells even louder, looking handsome in his new haircut and tailored Italian suit. "This two are now pronounced husband and wife." "You're now fully mine, CEO of Mi-nello Group." Bethany laughs. "See a whole Conglomerate CEO talking to a small person like me." "Ooh, I plan to show you tonight that you're not small and neither am I." She laughs. "You naughty man." She whispers as she leans in for a kiss. Amidst the whoops and holler, Lucas kisses his wife on the lips, causing there to be a ripple of jealousy in the crowd. Both Miles and Maya comes forward to hug their parents and pose for a family picture. Lucas picks up Maya while Mikayla picks up Miles, all beaming at the camera, the f

    Of course, after dramatically disrupting the ongoing funeral, Grey, Smith and a couple other officers walk to the front of the coffin."Sorry to disrupt this perfectly ongoing funeral of a woman who committed suicide..."The whispers begin. They had been told she died in her sleep after all."Mr Reese Anderson, you're under arrest for the murder of Ronald and Minta Callaghan and Price Woods, your daughter's late husband."The entire hall is thrown into intense chatter and chaos.For the first time in days, Lily's eyes regains focus. "What?"Grey turns to look at her. "You knew your father killed your husband and yet you protected him. You're also under arrest for aiding and abetting murder.""Who is Ronald and Minta Callaghan?" Lily asks, completely ignoring the words of the officer of her own arrest."The parents of Bethany Callaghan who we all know to be Mikayla Anderson."That's the final straw."I killed Mum...

    The same time, Lucas pays the taxi driver, gun securely in his back and Mikayla in his side.He holds her hands and since it's his house, he's able to know the nook and cranny of the house, including places where you can get in without being spotted by any cameras.He leads them to the side where there is a doggie fence. "I'm sorry." He whispers to Mikayla as they both have to crouch to pass through the place.Mikayla shoots him a smile and a thumbs up as she comes out after him.He holds her hand once again, and as slowly and as stealthily as possible, they make their way to the back door which serves as their entrance into the house.As soon as the door clicks shut behind them, they both sigh in relief.Just then, the lights turn on and they are standing right in the middle of the kitchen, lights shining down on them.The man who gets them immediately yells and pulls out a gun. "Down!" He yells and they comply. He is joined by two other men and they drag them out to living room whe

    Lucas and Mikayla are laying flat on the ground, late at night with different cars speeding by, watching and peeking out at the scene with every one of them having something to say in one way or the other.Outside the car, the listening bug should hit be able to do much so when a police car arrives on the scene and out comes Grey, Lucas sighs in relief, happy that the officer had received his message in time and had come to help him out."Sir!" The patrol officers salute their higher subordinate."At ease. Can you release them? They are currently on a mission.""What?" The patrol officers look at one another in confusion. "There is a body in the car.""And if it's not a body?" Grey asks, stepping forward and using his higher up voice."Uhm..." The officer is at loss of words. "Well, it looks exactly like a body.""Well, let me tell you something. They don't want the help of the police as it may jeopardize the lives of their children. The children were kidnapped from school earlier tod

    Mikayla begins to shiver in the cool weather.Lucas stands outside, a look of immense fury on his face from what Logan is asking him to do. He grabs his phone and dials Logan who picks up on the second ring."Do you like what the package looks like? Cute, isn't it?"Lucas, seething... "What the fuck are you asking me to do? Tie up another loose end for you? What do you want from me exactly? Stop tormenting I and my woman and my family and just tell me what you're after.""This is cute but you're forgetting that I am your family too? Anyway, I do want something from you but it's extent is what I'm yet to decide on. You can start by disposing off the body first. Maybe when you finish this mission, just maybe, I might have my request ready.""So you mean this is not the fucking end of it?""Depends on how you act and what you're doing now is making me think of murdering someone else, maybe your daughter since she looks the most scared here. I'm waiting to see the body at the bottom of th

    The day before, Lucas and Mikayla had left the school around six pm that evening, driving off in the direction of the apartment where Lucas had met him just four days earlier.Their meeting had not ended well then, and it does not look like it will now.Lucas receives a text message from his number, Logan. He pulls up by the sidewalk to check it."If you think you will find me at the same location as the other times, you're kidding yourselves. I told you clearly, you do what I ask you to do or you're in deep shit. You'll never see your precious children again. You'll receive the first directions in a little bit. I want you to keep going to the apartment though, your first mission is over there."Lucas punches the steering wheel, startling Mikayla a bit, her nerves are still frayed, getting so worried about her children and even worse, they are still in the hands of a maniac that no one knows where they are.Cursing under his breath, he starts the car once again and the journey continu

    About to head out of the cafe, Grey pays for the coffee both men had taken with his card.Stepping outside, he inhales the crisp cool air and sighs.His phone ringing distracts him from the search of his keys and he sees the caller to be Smith."Hello Smith? Can I help you tonight?""Where are you right now?""I had a meeting with Mr Santinello and I am heading off to my bed. Do you have something for me?""Certainly. Can you drop by the office before heading home?"Grey groans. "I hope for your own sake that it is something worth my time, if not, you'll spend the whole remainder of this week in the holding cell and I mean it."Smith laughs. "Sure then. Just come on over first."Grumbling, groaning, tired, weary, weak, sleepy... All of the states of mind Grey experiences before appearing at the office. He slouches up the stairs to the office where he meets Smith bending over a computer."What do you have for me?""Before I show you, I did it to show that I did not take my job as a jok

    Mikayla rushes into her car and drives off in the direction of the school, running late after a meeting, just barely ten minutes after the original closing time, she finally parks there.Not seeing any of the twins where she usually picks them up and wait for her no matter what, not even their bags to indicate that they probably just went to use the toilet, she gets down from the car and looks around to no avail.She locks up the car and walks over to the classes but it's empty, even down to the teachers, there is no one in sight that can be of help so she leaves for the school's administration building.She's immediately directed to the Dean who receives her warmly."Good afternoon ma'am. I hope all is well? Considering that you didn't call ahead to inform us about your coming.""I'm sorry as well but I ran a bit behind in picking the children up. I'm here now but I can't seem to find them.""I'm pretty sure they left the classes as soon as the school closed. You know what, children

    "It's after school time. Come on, Mum is coming to pick us up." Mikes iterates as he slings his small backpack over his back and carries the lunch bag in his hands.Maya does the same thing, grabbing her back and lunch bag as well as the two of them walk in tow to where Mikayla usually showed up to pick them up, almost immediately after school.Just as they arruved, a black SUV parks in front of them.Both of them walk to the car, waiting for Mika to come out and give them hugs as she always does before tucking then in and putting their seat belts on before leaving but this time, a tall man comes out.Miles immediately steps back, standing in front of Maya to protect her... Or something like that."Hi Miles and Maya. I am Ben. Mikayla sent me to pick you up.""No. We won't go with you." Miles replies immediately.The man laughs, removing his sunglasses to reveal brown, almost friendly eyes. "Mika told me that you will say the same thing and that when you do, I should show you this."
