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... I killed Mum... I killed Mum..." Lily begins to mutter again, throwin
"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
It was already pretty much a bad day...The wedding designer had called in saying she came down with a terrible fever suddenly, the hall booked for the wedding suddenly has some electrical failures and if all of this continues, the Anderson's would have to postpone their first daughter's wedding.And that will be terribly unfair to the bride, groom and all their guests that has been invited.To cheer up the to be bride, her little sister and best friend arrange an outing, an evening party at a famous hotel, something like a bachelor's eve for her and she decides to attend, hoping to take her mind off all the setbacks.Mike sings along to the catchy song on the radio as she drives down to Heirloom, the second biggest and expensive hotel in all of New York. As soon as she opens the large doors into the prepared place for the party, everyone gives her loud whoops and pats on the back."Congratulations Mika, you're so lucky." They coo towards her and she has a smile ready for everyone, h
"Inmate 0202, come with me." The female warden raps on her cell door and opens it.Mika steps out of the small cell, waving goodbye to the other women she had stayed with for a month as she holds the small basket containing all her effects.She's taken to the office and the warden gives her a few documents to sign before handing her another basket filled her clothes from that fateful day, her phone and purse.She grabs them all and heads out of the door, squinting lightly at the harsh afternoon sun.Then she smiles and rubs her hand on her belly.She immediately hails a taxi and leaves.Less than two minutes after she leaves, a white Ferrari pulls up in front of the police station and out comes Price Woods with Lily on his arms.They go inside and hear that she has just been released. Lily scoffs in disappointment. "I was really hoping to meet her so I could give her the invitation card to our wedding. Why was she in such a rush?" Price smiles down at her. "You're so cute and too nic
FIVE YEARS FROM LEAVING HOME..."Happy birthday darlings." She places a spongebob cake in front of them. It's a Saturday so everyone is at home, there is no school nor work and she has the best surprise planned for her children. Maya claps excitedly and blows the candles out.Miles grumbles. "Come on, you don't get to blow it out on your own."Maya stands up and stretches to her full height, looking down at him. "What did you say?"Mika laughs. She has been terrorizing her brother ever since she became conscious enough to do so. And it happens every single one of their birthdays since they were two years old.She cuts slices of the cake for them both and relights a candle on Miles's slice so he can also blow it out. He closes his eyes deeply, clasping his hand together before blowing out the fire.Mika tilts her head and watches him. "What did you just do?""My friend told me that before blowing out the light on a cake, you can make a wish."Mika chuckles and sits down beside him.
She closes the door behind her and goes inside as the man plays with the twins as naturally as she has always played with them.There is something like immense joy on his face as he's almost glowing while playing with them, her heart almost softens but she hardens it right back. There is no way for her to know whether he has a good intention for being there... She sits upright as soon as the thought crosses her head that maybe he's after the twins? Maybe he wants to take them away from her? She srings to her feet and goes to meet him. She turns to Maya and Miles, "Why don't you two go inside and finish the cake? Mommy's not hungry now so we'll join you in a little bit."They whoop and go inside to go have the cake that she had previously kept for tomorrow.He stands up to his full height and has a smug smile on his face, something about her just what's to whack it right off but she just clenches her fist."Whatever your intentions are from coming to my house, you can't...""Come back
Very early the next morning, Mika has everything ready, all their personal effects, clothes and the likes mainly. She walks around the apartment, noting things down that has been left behind, like most of the furniture, kitchen utensils and the like.She does not touch them, the back of her head telling her to be reasonable, that they just might return home. She doesn't know what to make of that man just yet.Lucas Santinello.He may be a trillionaire, who has made a name for himself in the industry but what's to say that he's not a bad person? Maybe a woman beater? A child abuser? Frantically, she looks for her children and pull them into a hug. She pulls them back and looks into their eyes individually. "Maya, Miles. We are going to a different state, things will be very different okay? New people, new accents, you'll even make new friends and the biggest of all, you will be living with your father, please tell me anything that happens that you don't like, okay?"They nod, smiling.
Lucas regards her in the car, sparing glances at her every once in a while.She catches wind of it. "What is it?" She asks him, not grabbing her children's attention.He shrugs. "What? I didn't say anything."She's pretty much lost in her thoughts after that. Alicia? A fashion designer that's flying someone down for her show? After backstabbing and bringing her own life a standstill, she had the guts to go and make it? Mika scoffs out loud unconsciously.Luc looks right at her. "Something funny?"Mika just throws him a glance and says nothing.It's a long drive from the airport to wherever they were going. She snaps out of her head and watches Maya as she paints something on her brother's face, both of the bursting into laughter. She also smiles."Wow. I didn't think you were ever going to smile, figured you were an ice queen or something."Everything in her body unwilling to show any ounce of friendliness to him, moreover, he's still in a way a complete stranger to her. All she know
