"I bet I'm going to die in this house before I even know it!". Mateo thought to himself. He spent 3 hours thinking because he couldn't even muster up his courage to ever stand face to face for a long time with Alexander. The time was already 11:43 pm, and his eyes were still open even though his eyes were already starting to give up. "I should sleep now, tomorrow I'd think of a better way to ask him". Mateo thought to himself before finally falling asleep since his eyes already gave up on being awake. …..It was already the next morning. Alexander was already awake and had already taken his bath, including dressing up. He just sat in his sofa that was inside his room, while he busied himself with the laptop on his lap. When he heard someone knock on his door, he didn't reply and just watched to see who would dare open the door to his room when he was still around.Outside the room, Mateo stood beside Alexander's room door. He was wearing a white bathrobe.He knocked multiple ti
"Who's going to take care of my babies for four days when I'm not around!?". Mina was so confused with herself that she didn't know that she said this out loudly. Now they were all staring at her, waiting for an explanation from her. "What you said now…. You already have kids?. But aren't you too young to have one right now?. I thought you said you're only 24?". Mark didn't stop at the first question, and asked her all the curious questions that popped into his head. Mina sat still on her seat, she was lost and couldn't bring herself to explain. Exposing that she has kids would definitely lead them to meet her babies one day. And she doesn't want them to see her babies since they unfortunately also look identical to Alexander. She doesn't want her kids to involve themselves in anything that has to do with this company, except her. "Em…. You're absolutely right. I'm too young for that, and I don't think I have kids yet, the kids I'm talking about belong to a really special friend
"Do you see the trending news, Nancy?. It has been going on since, on the internet". Roselle showed Nancy the iPad after telling her. "What's that?". Nancy rolled her eyes in disappointment. She felt really annoyed that Roselle woke her up when she was enjoying her sleep.Since the moment that Alexander didn't even look up to her face and walked past her, she couldn't stop thinking about it. So she decided to forget about him in the meantime through the help of sleeping more during the day time. Nancy's both eyes widened in shock when she saw the trending news that had been going on, and still is going on."When did this happen?!". Nancy curiously asked Roselle immediately.She rose up from her bed to sit up, expecting to hear from Roselle now. "It happened last week Friday, or Saturday, I think". "But hey, where do you think you're going?. You don't have any shooting to do today". Roselle added when she saw Nancy hurriedly stood up on her feet to grab her jacket. "I have to meet
[In the Cassano's Mansion, Camila, Amelia, Sebastian, Mason and Santiago, were all at the garden side while they discussed…. There was a bench in the garden, fit for three people, including a swing that was overall decorated with flowers of different species].Camila and Amelia sat on the swings, while the guys sat together on the bench."How's your mother doing, cousin Camila?". Sebastian asked.He returned to the Mansion, accompanied by both Mason and Santiago, after hearing what had happened to their Uncle Raymond. "She's currently asleep in her bedroom…. Thanks for coming over, you guys". Camila greeted Sebastian, Mason and Santiago.For the past two days, her face has been pale. Even though she smiled at them, they all were aware that she was faking it.Camila has always been her Father, Raymond's favourite. She was always by his side, so she felt really hurt that he was gone just like that."You don't have to thank us. We're related after all". Mason said, staring at Camila in
(Alexander's office).Mina was at a loss for words. She didn't understand why he was staring at her like this as if she committed a huge crime. She wanted to step backwards, but she was sure that Alexander would walk towards her, just like the other day it happened. And the question he asked her about herself, she finds it really weird. She didn't want to inform him about anything concerning her personal life because she doesn't want him to be aware, but with the way he was kind of threatening her with his dark aura and threatening eyes, she couldn't take it anymore. "I'm Mina, a 24 years old lady, and also a young mother to my lovely three kids! That's the information about me". She concluded. Her eyes didn't leave his side, just like his. They both ended up staring at each other for a while before Alexander dismissed her from his office. "What the hell was that all about?". Mina thought to herself. Why she told Alexander the truth when she was in his office, was to avoid any p
Nancy arrived at Cassano's estate, but the guards refused her entry.She later pleaded politely that she needed to meet Alexander for an important reason, before they informed her that he wasn't around in the Mansion."Where could he be?. I'm sure he's really sad about what happened to his Uncle". She said to herself before returning to get into her car.Nancy thought about going to the Cassano company to see for herself if Alexander was there, but she remembered that almost all the time she visited there, she'd be told by the employees that he wasn't around. "Sh*t. I should just try out my luck. He should be there". She thought to herself before driving off. Nancy wasn't a great driver, so it took her a while before she finally arrived at the Company. She didn't bother to hide her face since she loves to keep the spotlight all to herself.The way people were taking different selfie pictures of her, was a great experience for her as a celebrity that she is. She boldly made her way
Everyone stopped what they were doing and focused their stares on what just happened. They all saw the way Nancy's hands clenched tightly on her trouser, so they were curious to see what she'd do to Ken who already apologised to her on his behalf. "This won't do". Mina muttered before rising from her seat. With the way Lisa described Nancy to be, she was sure that Nancy wouldn't let Ken off the hook easily. Just like she already expected, Mina saw the way that Nancy's eyes darkened as she stared at her clothes and back at Ken. Nancy instantly raised her right hand up in the air, causing Mina's eyes to widen because she was alarmed of what Nancy was about to do.She was about to slap Ken's face when Mina came in between them to hold her hand, using her right hand. Lisa and Cindy gasped in disbelief at the same time. They never expected Mina to react to this even when what Nancy was about to do was totally wrong. "He already apologised, what else do you need?". Mina said harshly.
Next week later….Mina has had a really wonderful week working in the company. Alexander doesn't seem to treat her badly like he used to, or even call on her that much. But at the same time, it was finally the day for their team trip. The day that she tried to avoid so badly because of her kids. "Mommy, this is really weird". Tyler didn't like what Mina was doing to them. She was busy applying makeup on their faces, saying that it was the trending style going on for kids around their age mate."Nothing is weird at all, baby. You look more handsome and cute this way". Mina admitted to him, but Tyler didn't believe what she said. He stood up and left Mina's side to get a mirror. "You're lying to me, mommy. I look like a clown". Tyler said. He couldn't even recognize himself."Big brother, we should do this for mommy. It's not that bad". Tessa said before turning to stare at Mina, who smiled at her. Both Tessa and Taylor's faces were already painted with makeup before Tyler now, who
(Floor 17 department). "Honestly, I've never been this bored before". Cindy sighed lazily as she admitted this fact. "Mina is away from work for a while now, and those little kids of hers, I haven't even seen them. It's just not fair". She added before walking towards her chair to sit on. "Achoo!". "Is someone perhaps talking about me?". Mina excitedly jumped into the office with a smile when she asked. "Whoa!. I never…. She, are you for real now?!". Cindy was extremely dumbfounded. She never expected Mina to suddenly show up after she just spoke. "Mina, it has been like forever!". Lisa stopped what she was doing to give Mina a hug, same with Cindy…. She wasn't letting Lisa steal this moment away from her. "Take it easy Ladies". Mark announced, coming out from his own office after hearing the commotion outside. "Mina, tell me the truth…. Are you sure you're alright?. You're not hurt in any way, right?". Mark's sudden question actually caused Mina to blink her eyes twice beca
It took some minutes before Mina was able to understand what was going on. She didn't hesitate to properly pay her respect to Deborah. "That's right, there's one more thing to clear up, son". Deborah stared at Sebastian, Mason, Santiago, Camila and Amelia when she said, so they already understood what that is. They already explained everything that was going on between them and Alexander, so Deborah wasn't that pleased about it. She remembered Alexander used to be sweet to his cousins, not the other way around. "Ahem….". Sebastian stood up from the sofa and walked towards Alexander to stand in front of him. "We're sorry, cousin Alexander. We just recently learned about what our fathers did to our Uncle Lucas, your Father". Sebastian sighed deeply before he continued. "You can continue to hate us, but please don't blame us for this. We have no hand in this''. He finally finished talking and waited patiently to hear Alexander's reply. Everyone now was staring at Alexander to hear w
Alexander's car drove into his estate before it finally stopped. Same with Mateo's car that has been driving behind Alexander's car almost throughout. Mina was still asleep, so Alexander had to carry her in his arms while he walked towards the Mansion. "Come on Tyler, I'll carry you". Tyler didn't waste any minute and instantly ran to Mateo's side after hearing what he said. Soon that second, Mateo carried Tyler and they also both headed straight for the Mansion. As soon as the large doors to the Mansion were opened, Alexander and Mateo stood still in great confusion and at the same time, they were greatly in disbelief about what was happening in their very own eyes. "Are…. Are we perhaps in the wrong house, big brother?". Mateo immediately asked. He even had to clean his eyes multiple times to be sure that he wasn't hallucinating what his eyes were seeing. Camila, Amelia, Sebastian, Mason, Santiago, Taylor and Tessa were all sitting in Alexander's living room and eating cakes!
"It's okay, darling. It's over now". Alexander's hands gently pet Mina's back as he assured her. "Are…. Are you really sure about this? You're lying to me, are you?". With a teary voice, Mina asked before she was released from the hug."Mm". Alexander nodded his head at her. "I'm relieved then". She added, cleaning her eyes using the back of her hand before she then turned to face Tyler who was hiding behind his Daddy's legs. "You brat. Do you know how worried I was!?". Mina was already in the process of pulling off her slippers. "Daddy…. Daddy please save me from mommy. Mommy is going to hit me". Tyler instantly grabbed Alexander's trouser and pleaded before Mina would eventually reach his side. "Quit it, Tyler. No one's going to save you from me". Mina sighed deeply before she continued. "You should have thought it through in the first place before you left the Mansion without permission". She added. Mina has almost caught Tyler when Alexander carried him up in his arms and sta
"Great work you guys…. It's time to end this once and for all". A wicked smirk appeared on the side lips of Jake's mouth before he brought out a cellphone from one of the dead assassins' pockets. "At least, they shouldn't have made themselves look so obvious like this…. Amateurs". Jake added before he contacted the number which wrote 'Boss'.It hasn't even reached a minute since the phone started to ring, and the so-called Boss already answered the call immediately. "Did you get the job done?. Is Alexander and his kids dead?". Jake smiled when he heard what the person on the other end of the call desperately asked. "You're correct. Alexander and his kids are dead right now as we speak. Why don't you come over here and see everything for yourself?. I'll send you the address". Jake replied and waited for a response. "That's fine with me. Remain there, I'll be on my way right now!". Noah answered without any hesitations."Fool". Jake muttered to himself after the call had already end
"Taylor, where is our mommy?". Tessa got confused for a sec. She and Taylor were already tired of waiting inside their room, so they suggested going back to the living where they last saw Mina and Mateo. But the thing was that they couldn't find any of them there."Hey kids, you should return to your room". Mrs Helena urged them to when she saw them."But…. But, where's my mommy and big brother Mateo?". Tessa questioned with a sad face. "Oh dear…. Don't worry, they'll be back soon, okay?". Helena gently petted Taylor and Tessa's head before leading them back to their room. "Don't worry, I'll go get toys and chocolates for you two…. Just stay here and don't go anywhere". She added before she left the room immediately, hoping to return soon. "Okay, let's get out of here Taylor". Tessa was about to leave the room when Taylor held her hand back, preventing her from leaving the room yet until he figures out what she has in her mind. "What are you going to do, Tessa?" That kind lady sa
"Oh my gosh, where's Tyler?.... I really hope it's not what I'm thinking". Mina has spent many minutes searching for Tyler but hasn't found any signs of him yet. She actually didn't even know where to start since she had no idea of where Alexander was heading to."Should…. Should I inform him about this?". She brought out her cell phone and was about to dial Alexander's number, but that was when she recalled that she didn't have his number. Mina almost smashed her phone on the ground due to the frustration she was feeling inside of her, but it was of no use so she decided to return back to the Mansion, hoping that Mateo would have found Tyler already.(About 10 minutes later)."Have you found Tyler?".This was absolutely the same question that Mina was about to ask Mateo when she sighted him, but he beat her to it and asked first, causing her heart to clench in pain."So…. He's nowhere to be found?". Mina suddenly asked."Why is mommy this scared?. I think big brother Tyler is with
(The coffee store).Roselle stared at Nancy for a while, also taking a sip from the cup of coffee before she said something. "So, why did you call me for this meetup?. In case you don't know, I was just some hours away from quitting to being your Manager". "I don't really understand why you call for this, including meeting in a place like this. This isn't you at all". Roselle added with furrowed brows.She was already suspecting that Nancy was up to something no good. "Silly…. As long as you've not yet ditched me you're still my manager. And, em…. Actually". "What?". Roselle asked, taking another sip of her coffee before placing it back on the table."I'm really sorry about how I treated you lately". Roselle almost choked instantly as soon as she heard the words that came out from Nancy's mouth!. "Seriously, I know I don't have a right explanation as to how I treated you before, but I'm willing to make things right this time around, if only you'd only give me another chance!". Nan
"Amelia…. You're here alone?". "But I thought Mason and Camila are also going to come with you to discuss our next step since our Uncles and my father already planned their next move today". "What…. What do you mean?". Amelia was startled when she heard what Sebastian just said. She didn't even know which question to ask him. "I mean, Santiago is already inside, I was expecting Camila and Mason to come with you. But, where are they?. We're supposed to plan this on time if not, Alexander might really die today, according to what Camila reported to us". Sebastian added. "But…. But, I don't know where Mason is. I… I thought he was in your Mansion!". Amelia said immediately. "He's not here". "What about my sister?". She held Sebastian's shirt as she questioned, but he only shook his head. "I think something must have happened to them!. Cousin Mason would never have left the Mansion without informing me!". Amelia added in a panicked voice before she fell to her knees. "What's wrong?
