"F*ck". He breathed and cursed. "Who the hell was that lady, and why couldn't I just find her?". Alexander questioned himself before directing the strong liquor into his mouth.

Alexander couldn't believe himself at all. Normally, he isn't the type of person to look back at a lady after sleeping with her once, but the lady of six years ago was somehow weird to him.

He felt whole with her in bed. But what made Alexander hate himself, he didn't quite remember what happened that night because he was really drunk (Not completely drunk, he was somehow also drugged).

He placed his left palm on his forehead, and also shut his eyes. He could still recall the sweet scent she possessed in her body.

That sweet scent totally consumed him that night, making him drown with desires to have her all to himself.

"What's even wrong with me?. I, Alexander, I'm thinking about a lady?". His mood was back to normal. "I really must be crazy". He muttered.

.

"Mommy, I had a lot of fun talking to grandma today". Tessa said with a smiling expression.

"Really?. That's great then". Mina was satisfied. "Are you sure that you still don't want me to carry you?". Mina asked. This is exactly the third time Tessa has rejected her offer.

"Of course not. I can walk on my own". Tessa assured her. "I don't want my mommy to stress herself again, just like big brother had said before". Tessa excitedly thought, because for once in a while, she wasn't behaving like a little spoiled child.

"Fine, if you say so then". Mina added. She smiled when she saw how Tyler and Taylor let Tessa walk in the centre of them, not only that, they both held her hands, walking side by side. "How cute". Mina muttered.

They eventually arrived at the bus station and entered a bus. When they arrived home, with the little change she still had left, Mina made use of it to prepare meals for all of them.

"Here you go….". She placed the bowls of noodles on the table before helping her babies sit on the chair. "Look here, Tyler, don't be mad at me, but I think I have to break my promise I made to you". She sighed deeply before continuing. "I'm running out of cash, it's best that I find a job as soon as possible, so I'd be able to sustain you guys".

"But…. But".

"No but, Tyler. It's my duty and responsibility to look after you guys. Don't complain please, I'm going to be alright. In fact, I'm alright". Mina assured him.

"Yeah I'm aware, mommy. But, I did tell you not to waste money on that flight, but you didn't listen to me and still went ahead to". Tyler was sad. He didn't exactly understand the reason why his mommy suddenly decided that they come to Las Vegas. If it was because of her (Mina) intention for them to see their grandma, he doesn't have anything more to say.

"He just wouldn't get me, would he?. I'm tired of running away from my unfortunate past". Mina thought to herself. "Don't worry, after I get myself a job, I'm going to listen to your words, okay?". Mina said to him.

"Hmm".

"Now, eat your food already, it's getting cold". Mina said to Tyler.

"Aren't you also going to eat, mommy?". Tyler questioned.

Taylor and Tessa were both carried away by the delicious noodles, so they didn't say a word and focused on their food.

"Oh me?. Don't worry about me. I already had mine in the kitchen".

"You're lying again, aren't you, mommy?". Tyler isn't pleased. His mommy was always used to doing this. She didn't eat anything until she was sure that they already had enough to eat. "You can eat with me, I don't mind". When Taylor and Tessa heard what Tyler said, they stared at their bowls and saw that they had already finished theirs without considering sharing it with their mommy.

"No really…. It's okay". Mina tried her best to refuse him, but Tyler was stubborn this time around to let go. In the end, she ate his food with him.

"Are you sure you're not still hungry?". Mina asked Tyler again as she put him to bed. (Taylor and Tessa were already both asleep).

"I'm really fine mommy, you don't have to worry at all about me".

Seeing that Tyler admitted he was fine, she finally left the room.

"Mommy is really troublesome like a kid". He thought to himself before his stomach actually groaned because of hunger.

He didn't eat to his full because he had to share with Mina. But he cared less, he couldn't possibly let his mommy also sleep with an empty stomach. He can't even imagine that to ever happen.

"I love you, mommy". Tyler muttered before going to sleep.

.

It was the next morning, and Mina was already dressed in her best outfit.

"I must get a job as soon as possible". Mina encouraged herself once more, before coming out of her room.

"Eh…. When did you guys get up from bed?". She asked immediately when she saw Tyler, Taylor and Tessa standing in front of her room door.

"We woke up early to wish you best of luck, mommy. Don't be so surprised when you get a better job today". Tessa excitedly said to her mommy.

"Mmm. That's really sweet of you guys". Mina admitted. "But I was still going to wake you guys up after preparing your meal. I can't possibly just leave you guys like that, you know?".

"In that case, you cook fast and run off. I have a really good feeling that you're going to get an awesome job today". Taylor assured Mina.

"Yeah, my young bosses!". Mina said with a smile before hurrying to the kitchen.

"My kids are really the best…. But they should already know I won't get a better job since I didn't even get the opportunity to get admission into the university. Wait…. Should I just teach karate?. Tsk, that's the only thing I'm really good at". Mina even laughed at herself upon her thought. "Teaching karate?. That's really hilarious. I only learnt it in the first place so I'd be able to defend myself and my kids from enemies".

    "I'm finally done". She muttered to herself before arranging the items inside the kitchen. "Are you done now, mommy?". Tyler asked her immediately when he saw she came out of the kitchen. "Yeah baby, and it's time for me to leave. Are you sure you all can stay by yourself? You know, I'm still really worried". Mina asked again even though she has many times before. She has no one to take care of her triplets for her, and she doesn't trust anyone. But at the same time, she can't help stop worrying about them being alone in the apartment. "We're going to be fine mommy as long as there's food already in the house". Tessa assured her. She was even the one to escort Mina out of the house. "You're really sure you're going to be alright?". Mina was still hesitant to leave just yet. "Of course, mommy". They all replied to her quickly since she was still wasting time. Mina sighed deeply and said. "Fine then, don't leave the house please sweeties. And the door, make sure to lock it from

    Mina remained quiet for a while. She didn't know how to reply to Tyler's sudden question which came to her unexpectedly. "Why did you suddenly ask such a thing?. You don't need to know, ok?". Mina simply said. She let Tessa down from her arms."But….".Tyler tried to say something but Mina cut him off."I'm sure you guys are hungry by now?. Don't worry, let me go cook something for us to eat". She assured them before leaving for the kitchen. "I'm sorry, baby. But this question you asked, even I don't know the answer at all". She thought. "Big brother, Tyler…. I thought we all agreed not to ask mommy about this until she's willing to tell us by herself?". Tessa questioned. She was taken aback the moment she heard Tyler asked their mommy. Even though she was also curious to know about their father, she still didn't fail to notice how pale their mommy's face instantly turned to. "I'm sorry, I really got curious for a while". Tyler admitted. He went ahead to sit down on the sofa

    Even though there was still 25 minutes extra for her when she left the apartment, the bus seemed to arrive at the bus stop a little late. So she arrived at the company at exactly 7:57am. "I can still make it on time. Nothing is impossible!". She encouraged herself before running at full speed. Those who saw her right now thought that she was crazy, including the security guards who were close to stopping her. But when they saw her ID she wore on her neck, they let her pass through. "I made it!. Yes, yes, yes!". She thought to herself before rushing to catch the elevator. Mina noticed that the doors of the elevator were about to close, and not only that, she saw her co-workers shaking their heads at her. But since she didn't understand what they were trying to tell her, she waved them all off. In no time, she threw herself inside the elevator before it completely shut. "Did you see what just happened?". One of the employees, who happens to be a female, asked her colleagues. A

    "I got carried away, Boss. I'm on it!". Mark assured Alexander before leaving his office. "Just what have I done?. After this, I'm sure I'd start searching for another PA for him". Mark pitied himself. He had no choice but to do as Alexander had ordered him to. And at this rate, he was sure Mina won't be able to take this and quit. This isn't the right time to work fully as Alexander's PA. He planned to train her for a week extra before introducing her to him. But he never thought that someone like Alexander would notice her presence this soon when he ghosted all his previous PA."Could he be interested in her because she's really pretty?". He thought to himself for a while. But when he remembered who Alexander was, he even had to spank his head hard because of his mistaken assumption. Alexander is the dream of every lady (That includes super models!), so with no doubt, he was sure that Mina would be definitely drawn to his handsome face and masculine stature, instead of the oth

    "What's there to be rude about when giving someone instructions?". She thought. "But this is weird, it's as if I'm seeing…."."What is weird?". Alexander asked. He couldn't seem to figure out what's running inside her little mind. "Nothing". She replied immediately when she realised another mistake.She forgot to say the other words in her mind."This little bunny isn't really aware of who I am. Interesting". He placed his fingers below his chin, upon his thought. "I want you to arrange all my schedule for the week, and it should be submitted before 12pm". Alexander said. Mina was about to say something when he permitted her to leave. Seeing that he wasn't ready to listen to what she wanted to say, she left."I haven't had fun in a while". Alexander said.Somehow, even though he felt that this was really strange to him, he feels a little bit comfortable with Mina around him compared to the other employees, he was displeased when around them, no doubt."Where do I even begin from?.

    "I definitely told you this. Look now, we're lost". Tyler was the one to complain. When their mommy left the house, it took Tessa a great amount of time convincing them, before Tyler and Taylor agreed to her suggestion. But the problem was that, when they came out of the house to buy candies, they forgot their way back home because Las Vegas was still really new to them. And most especially, they have only walked some parts of the City, but with the assistant of their mommy. "Calm down, we'd figure this out in no time. And, you guys should not overreact". Tessa said. "Why?". Taylor was the one to ask. "Don't be dumb. If we look like we're lost, don't you know that someone might kidnap us?". Taylor and Tyler protected Tessa after hearing what she just said. "Don't make it obvious, big brothers". She slightly slapped her forehead when she said. "But, what are we going to do now?. I don't want mommy to be scared when she arrives back home and doesn't see us. That'd really hurt he

    "I…. I mean…. I'd do that right now!". She collected the wrist watch and the key from the table before running off, after excusing herself. "That was really something". She said, "I was this close to losing my job". She added. "What job?". Mina sighed deeply and said. "Please, would you all stop scaring me off like this?. I'm afraid I don't have a strong enough heart to handle it". She was being straight with her words when she told Cindy. All her colleagues just seem to be butting in her business. "Take, I just wanted to give this to you". Cindy passed over the leather she was holding to Mina, who collected it. "You didn't have the opportunity to come for breakfast, or even lunch. So I brought this from the cafeteria for you". "You could eat it here". Cindy added. "That's really sweet of you. Thanks". Mina greeted her before going ahead to leave the leather on her table.It was now that she actually remembered she hadn't eaten anything all day. Her face was pale and her eyes

    She couldn't get up and only stared at the Mafia that stared at her with hidden intentions she knew not about. When she saw Alexander getting closer to her, she crawled backwards, not caring at all that she was ruining the trouser she wore in the process. "Are you scared of me, little bunny?". He asked even though it was clear to him. Mina didn't say anything and still continued to watch him. It was as if she lost her voice to speak. "He's a cold blooded Mafia. I bet he had killed a lot of people, and…. And, I can't believe I fall into this kind of trap. If only I had known, I wouldn't have accepted the job offer in the first place. I felt it was really odd at first, but too bad I got carried away". She thought, since she couldn't say anything. "You're asking if I'm scared, seriously, who wouldn't be?". She thought. "I see you're really scared of me". Alexander wasn't pleased, and Mina could notice that because his facial expression changed. He looked as if he was angry, and a

    (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?"

    "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

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

"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?
