At dinner that same night, Mikayla looks at her children, her food untouched and her hands folded across her chest. She watches them with her eyes, not saying anything at first.

She had received a call from Dean Lawney at around three pm before telling her that her son had gotten into a fight with another student and that both parents are required to be in the school the next day to settle their scores.

Both of them are nice and gentle, most especially Miles. If she had been expecting such a call, she'd have half expected it to be Maya who got into a fight but Miles? Sounds unbelievable but it did happen as the Dean had told her.

Why though? Why will Miles get into a fight?

She looks at Maya and Miles who are sitting beside one another, both of them are pretending to eat but she can tell they are quite fidgety, waiting for the bomb to drop. It doesn't take time.

"So, who will tell me what happened? And why we are being invited to your school for bad behavior?"

    Lily rubbed the sleep from her eyes, waking up from the heavily blanketed bed she had slept in with Price before his unfortunate death.She's been living the life of a zombie these past week. She hasn't gone out of the house and the most outside thing she's had is the sunlight that permeates into the house in the late mornings and afternoons.Every single time she passes by the staircase, she zones off, basically seeing in her head how he had fallen and how she had been too chicken to save him or call him the ambulance because if she had, he might have survived. She could have easily lied that he fell down the stairs in the dark and he'll be treated in the hospital...The image of him wording help at her up the stairs that day is something she'll never be able to let go of or get erased from her head and she's resigned to her fate. Beside her, she picks up her phone as she pushes herself away from the bed into a sitting position.She clicks it on and she sees that she has a couple of

    Dean Lawney takes a seat at the head of the table while her secretary drops a file in front of her, two files held as one.She lays it there and exits, leaving the parents and their children to sit down. Lucas and his family walks to the right side of the table while the Woods take the left side, although Lily seats beside the Dean directly, Victoria and Andrew puts some space beside them, about two chairs before they sit down, with Connor in their middle.The boy keeps glancing at his mother but being in between his grandparents, there's nothing much he can do but stare.Dean Lawney clears her throat and leans into the table. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen. And good morning to you too, children. So, I'm sure we all are aware of the reason why we are here."Lily shakes her head. "I think I'm a bit unaware. Could you please reiterate what happened yesterday? How did my son get into a fight?"Dean Lawney looks around and sighs. "With what I heard, they had a scuffle in the cafeteri

    “I told you so, my children don’t lie.” Mika voices out as soon as the video shows Connor pushing Miles and how he had stumbled to the ground.Lily mumbles something. “He had said something to Connor there that warranted him getting pushed down. We can’t hear the audio feedback?” She directs her question at Dean Lawney but the older woman only shakes her head, signifying the negative. Lily stands up straight as well. “Maybe your son has a potty mouth.”Lucas immediately gives her a look, the dirtiest amongst all the other looks of disappointment and disgust. “I won’t listen to you talk dirty about my son like that. I didn’t want to say it before but now we have the fact that your son lied. Left to me, ill say its as a result of bad parenting, because if the mother can say such to another child, imagine what the child can say to other people who doesn’t deserve such terrible treatment.”The dean clears her throat loudly, interrupting the words that Lily was about to say which is in no

What?!" Lucas yells just a second after the announcement. "Who is that again? Can you read it again?"The lawyer hides a smile and looks down into the documents in his hands again. "The name here says expressly Lucas Santinello."Lusia and Logan share a look of shock. "Check very well, he didn't mention our names?" Lusia asks, at the edge of her chair already."He did."Her face lights up immediately. "Now that's it. What did he say about us?""He said and I quote, my other two children Lusia and Logan are to find their own ways in life. I've babied them enough."The smile slowly drops from their faces.The lawyer packs his documents into one bag but he doesn't stand up. "As the will has been read, Mr Lucas, you'll need to come a

She asks as Mikayla sits at the edge of her bed to read them their bedtime story.Mikayla bites her lower lips, wondering how to tell them or if she can tell them. She looks for help towards the doorway where Lucas leans on and is watching them.He smiles and nods..."Okay, rather than a bed time story, I'll tell you the story of two sisters, okay?"Maya nods while Miles turns his body to face her so he'll concentrate."So, once in a time, there was this small baby that was left behind by her parents at the door of an orphanage. She grew up there and when she was three, a family that had no child adopted her. Two years later, that family gave birth to their own child. We'll call her El and we'll call the first sister Em.""Em for M in your name."

    Stella stares at the empty side of the bed that had been scattered by her husband very early that morning, basically less than ten minutes ago.She uses her hands to touch the side and it's very cold to the touch, just likes he's been to her for over two weeks since Price had died.Something is bugging him and she knows it, her deep subconscious knows what it is too but she doesn't want to admit it... It'll ruin them all.She pushes herself up from the bed and heads downstairs to get some things done. There's basically nothing to be done. She's not hungry and neither does Reese take breakfast before going to work lately so she doesn't need to wake up early to cook for anyone. All she's been busying herself with is house chores, doing house chores on end, cleaning places that aren't dirty and all of that. She's even taken up gardening as a pastime and while working a garden, she can take a rest and let her mind wander with the sunshine shining on her face, warming her face and warming

    Lily's anger simmered just below the surface as she hailed a taxi and headed to her Dad's company.Anderson Affairs. She couldn't believe her father's audacity. Pushing Price down the stairs, killing him, and now trying to act like nothing was wrong? Unacceptable.Being stiff necked and... Just there, like nothing happened.It's getting on her nerves now that she's out of the house. She has to right the wrongs or Price will never rest in peace, and neither will her heart settle as well.She gets down in front of the company and glances up to look at the name glittering in the afternoon sun.She had always been looking forward to inheriting it when Reese retires, but now, if he retires tomorrow, it's getting liquidated immediately.Her determination only gets steeler and steeler as she pushes open the door to the company building and enters, completely walking past every regular protocol and just right into the elevator.As she burst into her father's office, his assistant looked up i

    Luc's at work when the message comes in."Yes?" He asks as his secretary pushes open the door and comes in."I received a call that requires your attention sir.""Okay...? Are you trying to keep me in suspense? Come on, what is it?"His secretary takes a deep breath. "I received a call from Anderson's Affairs, right from the secretary to Reese Anderson, the CEO."Lucas looks up to meet his eyes. "Right from the boss? What did he want?""He says that Mr Anderson wants to meet with you...""With me?""Yes. He said for business purposes."Lucas's face hardens. He remembers their last encounter that he had gone to visit them at home. The man he left behind didn't seem like someone who would want to meet over anything at all.But curiosity gets the better of him and he's willing to know what Reese wants, what he wants so bad that he should ask to see him, for business."When did he say he would love to meet?""Today, if possible.

    "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

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."
