Mariana lay on the couch with half-open eyes sipping her margarita.

She could see the kids playing in the living room. The sight of them playing always had a calming effect on her. She was sometimes amazed how these kids never failed to lift her mood, even after they were already six years old and she had already seen most of their antics.

Perhaps because they had raised them themselves with the help of equally inexperienced friends, the kids meant a great deal more to them. Their good behavior and sensibility were the fruit of their hard work over several years.

The twins and Kyle were their achievements in a way.

She turned her gaze to her best friend and her husband. She understood Lil’s reasoning but still felt wrong for her friend. But since Lil had decided to make things work with him - as her best friend, the least she could do was respect her decision.

Besides, she could not overlook the impact of a father on children’s life. The twins and Kyle were all sensible, but some of

    Jonathan neither hugged the child back nor did he push him away.The Prestons did not know what to make of his reaction.They assumed Jonathan was courteous and showed respect to Madam Preston by not throwing the child off.They all waited with bated breath for her response.“President Smith, this is Kyle Preston, my great-grandson. His father is the current army Colonel of P city, Liam, who just transferred from Maple City.”Madam Preston loved Kyle and had no intention of hiding him away.“He is usually remarkably well-behaved, so I am not sure why he is acting like this today. I hope you don’t mind. He is a child, after all, and unfortunately, his stay in the family home has not been going as pleasant as I had hoped, as you can see.” Madam Preston apologized for the bad behavior of her family members.She loved Liam and Kyle dearly, both being her direct bloodline. While she was apprehensive about who Kyle’s mother had been, it was not good enough a reason to hide the child without

    Jonathan held Liliana’s hand and helped her out. It must be even harder on her.“That's right, Jo. You will meet three kinds of people who will be nice to you.”“One - you friends and family who love you like us, your aunty Mer, aunty Mer’s parents, aunty Jenn, Henry, Liam, Vincent, James.”“Two - people who are nice people, and they will be nice and polite to everyone - your aunty Jenn is nice to everyone, whether she knows them or not, whether she loves them or not.” “Three - people who will be nice to you because they want something from you. For example - if someone wants a favor from me or your mommy or Liam or Mer, they know that being on good terms with you or having your support will make things easier. Never trust these people.”“You should also try to attain everything with hard work. And respect everyone who works hard. Keep your distance from people who want to take shortcuts instead of working hard or improving themselves.”Liliana chimed in, “For example - your aunty Je

    Liliana was surprised at Jonathan’s sudden seriousness and his grim look.“What’s on your mind?” She asked, sitting beside him and holding his hands as she looked at him.“I just remembered someone had given me astonishingly generous alimony as a divorce settlement. Even I, who has been filthy rich since I was born, was stunned at the properties and shares I would receive.”Jonathan spat through gritted teeth, not bothering to hide his annoyance and exasperation.“Oh, that.” Liliana shrugged. She had thought it was something serious.“I told you I was not thinking straight when I gave you the divorce papers,” She understood that he was annoyed at the thought of divorce while he was only curious about her wealth.“Since I could not prioritize our marriage or you, I wanted to set you free. Let’s go there tomorrow. I will personally tear it to shreds in front of your eyes.”“Don’t be mad, okay.”“As for the alimony, it was just a small portion of my properties. I am the Petrova heir, rem

    While things were going well for Jonathan and Liliana, the online world was still in chaos.Rose had been fanning the flames that Liliana’s kids were not Jonathan’s. The paid trolls and netizens alike requested, cautioned, told, and threatened Liliana to keep a distance from Jonathan as he was not the father of her children.Liliana sneered at the tone of the topic. They mentioned the father of her children rather than ‘her husband’ as the Aprices were well aware that Jonathan was her husband.Jonathan took the phone away from her hands.Jonathan was getting ready to go to the office while Liliana sat on the bed, scrolling her phone.“Mrs. Smith, help me put on a tie, please,” Jonathan asked Liliana.He called her Mrs. Smith to remind her that she was his wife and husband and wife ought to be more intimate.He did that only occasionally for minor things like helping him dry his hair or tie his tie, or when he wanted to massage her hair and neck as they talked in the bed after tucking

    Liliana wrapped her arms around Jonathan’s neck as he steered the topic to their problems.“How do you plan to handle it?” He asked her.The titbits on the internet did not bother him, but he did not like seeing her slandered and accused.“Guess?” She said playfully.Jonathan shook his head with a smile hanging on his lips. She was enjoying it.“What do you have against Rose Aprice?” He asked.“Ahh, you are no fun,” She scrunched her nose.He resisted the urge to kiss her.She was scarily well-equipped and seemed to be in total control.Jonathan was glad they were married. If they had a clash against each other, both would incur heavy losses with many collateral damages.“C’mon. I am getting late,” Jonathan coaxed his wife gently.“Remember Lydia’s biological father during the auction? He is broke, he thinks Rose conned him and owes him 20 billion, he has gotten fat and old while Rose still looks decent for her age, at least when she goes out all dressed up,” She pointed out without a

    Liam finished his narrative and went close to Kyle.He knelt beside his half-brother and said, “Kyle, you are my brother by blood. But in my heart, you have always been my son.”“I will do anything and everything for you. Not because I feel obligated or you were a responsibility thrust onto me, or because my mother ruined your mother’s life. But because I love you from the bottom of my heart. If anything happens to you, I will lose my mind.”“What happened to previous generations is their karma and their lives. What we do defines our life and our karma.”“You are my son and will remain so until you return to P City Military as the Colonel. Until then, you mustn’t tell anyone about it.”“I never told you about your mother because I have immense respect and compassion for her. I did not want to lie to you or gloss over her story. I wanted to tell you when you are older, so you can appreciate her sacrifices.”“Nevertheless, you will always be my son and my highest priority. I love you so

    Liam took a while before he braced himself for the next part.“My mother thought my father was cheating on her with Aunty Keira.”“My father kept everything about Aunty Keira a secret because he hadn’t identified all the people on the inside who worked for him. So for her safety, he dealt with everything directly. He had created a fake ID and passport for her for an emergency. If she ran into any trouble, or if he died, then she could flee and settle down abroad.”“My mother thought he was planning to elope with her. She went after him when he had sneaked out, and she took photos. The next day, she posted all those photos in the newspaper calling Aunty Keira a bad person for flirting with a married army man and ruining a military marriage.”“Naturally, everyone found out, and the bad people captured and bullied Aunt Keira.”“The plan was almost complete. As per military protocols, my father had to prioritize the mission. My father had the last bits of information in place. So he hasti

    Liliana began when Liam stalled for time.“Kyle, your mother comes from a long line of military spies. You know what a spy is, right?”Kyle nodded.“Traditionally, only men are sent as spies because women are physically more vulnerable and comparatively more emotional. However, during your mother’s time, there was a very powerful mafia in Z city. He was extending his terror in P city. He had bribed and coerced many people at higher positions - so he would not get caught. Someone inside the Military betrayed us, and he found our spies.”Liam added, “He killed 25 of our most trained and skilled spies within a week. It left the P City Military in a very vulnerable position. My father was the Army Commander at that time. My Grandfather was in a higher position, and the mafia approached my grandfather for something. When he refused, he killed him.”“Among the 25 spies, three were from your mother’s family. Apart from them, almost 100 people from the force - Police and Military - lost their

    Liliana walked up to them and hugged them.She checked them from head to toe, much to the boy’s embarrassment. When she was satisfied that they were unharmed, she spanked them.Li looked at his mother incredulously, but she glared back at him.“How dare you run away? Didn’t you know the address of your home? If you encounter something you can’t handle, you come to me. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp?”“Look at how filthy you have become! Is this how you plan to set an example for your siblings?”Kyle hugged her and sobbed, “I am sorry, Mommy.”Li did the same, and Liliana hugged the two children close.Liliana exclaimed, “Ah! It reminds me of when we had just returned to P city. Jo - that traitor, left me for her father. I had the two of you to hug.”She led them to the ensuite bathroom and asked them to clean up. She sat them down and asked them to drink water and eat the pies she had made that afternoon.After the kids were well-fed and hydrated, she sat on the couch with

    James remained unperturbed and laughed.He added when he had calmed down.“Jacob said he kissed Mariana and realized that he was gay.”Jonathan was speechless. He hadn’t expected that twist.James ignored his friend’s expressions and slurred, “He said they were best friends and sort of dating. But the vibe between them was closer to cousins than lovers. When they kissed, he realized how much he never wanted to kiss any girl in his life ever again.”Jonathan had to stifle his laugh.‘Good for Jacob!’‘Poor Mariana lost her first kiss like that. Tch! Tch!’James continued his ramble.“Then they became even closer. Which may have been why Mariana never dated anyone.”Jonathan thought about it and added, “Makes sense! She wouldn’t have needed to look for a relationship, and others would have assumed she wasn’t available.”James continued, “Jacob once took her horse riding. She fell and had a fracture. Her hymen tore when she fell. Then I slept with her and shouted at her for making a fuss

    Jonathan and Liliana stopped talking and embraced each other while lying quietly on the bed.Jonathan was about to drift asleep when Liliana spoke.“Do you still want to have another child?”He was stunned and sat up immediately.“What do you mean?”She turned around and asked, “Well, you never brought it up since we talked about it half a year ago.”He couldn’t understand what she was getting at. He asked, “So?”She mumbled, “I just think it is the right time, and maybe we should try. I will turn thirty soon, and it might cause complications.”He asked, “I still don’t know what you are trying to say.”She rolled her eyes and asked, “I want to know if you still want another child. It’s been half a year since we started living together. What do you think? Are you ready?
