Day-2Josephine found that the surrounding land has been turned over, she suspected that there is no guard but there are some settings.She often watched movies where a land or area looked like it was completely empty with no inhabitants or guards, but was actually a dangerous area.It is possible that the area is polluted by certain radiation so it is possible that people who set foot on it will be exposed to that radiation.Or there are mines installed underground and will explode if someone steps on them.Or it could be that a hole has been dug and sharp spears have been placed underneath it so that anyone who accidentally steps on a covered hole on the ground will fall and die stuck to the spears.Josephine shuddered and prevented Sky from jumping through the short door."Why, mom," protested Sky while looking around them. "There are no guards here. This is a good chance for us."Josephine sighed. The children are smart and strong, but after all they are still children who lack ex
Day-3Josephine looked at the guard with furrowed brows. "The kids still haven't finished breakfast." "Our leader wishes to see you, Ms. Jade. I will bring you before him now," the guard said politely. Josephine shook her head. "Not now. I have to wait for them to finish eating well until they're all gone, only then will I come with you." Josephine sat back down in front of the triplets and accompanied them to eat. The guard who picked up Josephine to be brought to her boss's place did not move and finally gave in and waited.After the triplets finished eating, then Josephine approached the guard. "Come on. The children have finished eating and I'm ready to meet your boss." "Mommy, please be careful," said Flower worriedly.Rain pulled Josephine and whispered in her ear. "If possible, can you take a look around and observe where you are being taken, in case there is an alternative way for us to escape."Josephine nodded and gave her children a thumbs up. "Don't worry. I won't be
Day-3"Why after returning from the room of the person who detained us, Mommy daydreams a lot?" Rain whispered to his two siblings.Sky shrugged. "Maybe there was something she heard that was bothering Mommy.""Just ask her what happened," Flower whispered. "I will ask her what's going on."Rain and Sky shook their heads together. "Don't. Sometimes parents don't like their children knowing too much of what's on their minds and we don't have to know everything," Sky said seriously."If mommy thinks it's something worth sharing with us, she will definitely say it without us asking, otherwise it means it's something we don't deserve to know yet," added Rain in a serious tone.Flowers just nodded. "Ah, oke, I understand.""Never mind, leave mommy alone first. Let's talk about our escape plan again this afternoon. We can sneak one by one, so we won't be found out," Rain said in a serious tone. "I'll sneak first to open the door and after that we'll only have three minutes to escape before
Josephine was afraid to open her eyes. She doesn't know what happened or what will happen to her. She and Sky find themselves caught between mobsters preventing them from escaping and Josephine's last memory is only of feeling tired and resigned, hoping that her children would be okay and then, someone behind grabbed her. It was very quiet around Josephine and she lowered her hands from above her stomach, feeling the soft cloth covering where she lay. Josephine's sense of smell was also awakened, inhaling the subtle aromas of lavender and fresh cinnamon soothed. Josephine was confused, but right now the feeling that overtook her was one of calm and security. Slowly, Josephine opened her eyes. This familiar scent made Josephine wishful and when her eyes opened, she immediately looked up at the high ceiling above, which seemed to have been her daily meal in recent times. Josephine slowly gathered her strength and consciousness and got up from her sleeping position.She was in a r
"I-I can wash myself," muttered Josephine embarrassed. Her heart just beat twice as fast and her knees felt weak. Nicholas was so close behind her that every time she breathed, she could feel the scent of cinnamon and mint from his warm breath against the nape of Josephine's neck. Nicholas smiled and kissed Josephine's hair from behind. "Lots of cuts and bruises on your arms. I was worried you might have trouble in the shower. Come on in. I'll be waiting by the sink sending a few emails on my phone and if you're having trouble you can easily call me." Josephine decided to let Nicholas in and followed her into the bathroom. She felt her body was already warm even before the warm water from the shower flushed her body. Under the unturned shower, Josephine stood hesitantly. Does she have to take off all her clothes so that she is completely naked, or does she keep her underwear on, or doesn't need to undress at all?After thinking for a while, Josephine took off all her clothes witho
Josephine opened her eyes slowly. This was the deepest sleep she'd had in months since she'd been back on Metronine. Josephine felt her body much fresher. She stretched and felt something weigh on her stomach. A hand crossed over her stomach and Josephine's body suddenly felt warm and her face flushed. She turned and saw Nicholas who was still sleeping. The man's face was serene and his breathing even. Josephine felt various feelings raging in her heart, when she saw a silver necklace, with a pendant of a silver ring engraved with tendrils of gold leaves and diamonds in the center which was wrapped around Nicholas' neck. Carlos also wears a ring like that but it's not made of silver, but wood. Then, could she be optimistic that six years ago, the man she slept with and later fathered her children was Nicholas, because of that silver ring? Josephine moved, turned her body to face Nicholas and her hand reached out to brush Nicholas' hair that fell to his forehead. Nicholas had a ver
"You have to be honest and tell me, what exactly are you looking for through this DNA test?" asked Lynn with a serious face. "I will really help you if you tell me the truth."Josephine sighed and looked at Lynn questioningly, reassuring herself that Lynn was a good and trustworthy man. Josephine also thought that she would have difficulty dealing with all of this without the help of Lynn, who had wider access in this hospital."All right, Lynn, I'm going to trust and be honest with you. Actually, I'm looking to find out who the real father of my triplets kids is."Lynn's brows furrowed. "The triplets? You mean the two kids who were with you at my birthday party yesterday and called you Ms. Joy?""Yes. There are many things that I have to confirm before declaring that they are my children, and one of them is the matter of this biological father.""But there are only two kids, in my party last time.""There was one other kid who wasn't at the party that day.""Wow, you have triplets? T
Josephine looked at the calendar on the dresser. She had circled so many dates since Nicholas' departure. Josephine tried to call Nicholas many times, but his phone was always off. Josephine also tried to find news about Nicholas on the internet through business, political, or economic websites, but all to no avail.Nicholas seemed to have disappeared into the earth, instead of going to Italy to do business.The paper that Nicholas wrote became Josephine's bed companion every night and sometimes she would cry before going to bed because she missed him too much.Josephine and the triplets stay at the Adams mansion even though Nicholas is not around. When Josephine tried to take the triplets back to her own apartment, James forbade her and Madam Luan begged them to stay as it was Nicholas' orders.Undercover bodyguards are always watching and escorting them everywhere, making sure they are safe. Although at first it felt a little uncomfortable, eventually Josephine and the triplets got
