"Alright team, you all did great work today". Mark said. Today he decided to let them off work early because they all did a great job, most especially Mina who didn't complain even though she did the most hard work since she was their leader. Though there were some moments when she mostly got carried away in the process, fortunately enough, everything went well even with Alexander's absence. Today was supposed to be the grand day when they're supposed to launch a new electronic product, but because of Alexander's absence, it got delayed. But Mina and her teams worked really hard and it was successfully launched out to the world. "Woohoo!". Cindy couldn't help it. She yelled out excitedly because of their hard earned success."Bravo to all of us!". Lisa cheered.She was super excited because of her efforts she put into, when helping out with the product. What she was most certainly happy about, was the fact that Alexander Cassano didn't show up. Actually, this is their best yet,
They all drank one shot of the wine, and that later led them to drink more in the end."Hey, who's that over there?". Cindy said out, pointing her index fingers forward. "Are you possibly drunk already?". Mina questioned Cindy. Her face was already red, and since, she has been muttering nonsense words that made no sense at all. "Who's drunk?. Me?". Cindy pointed at herself, and Mina nodded to confirm. "If I'm drunk, why are you not also drunk then?. Does that…. Mean that I'm a light drinker and you're not?". Cindy questioned, focusing her gaze on Lisa because she thought Lisa was Mina. Mina laughed out for a while, but didn't say anything, yet.She sighed deeply before she said. "I drank a lot of alcoholic drinks the moment my mother died, so maybe, I became immune to it in the process". Mina gulped down more wine into her throat. Even though she felt really weak inside because of what she just said about Kira, she didn't show it out because she didn't want herself to look weak
"Are you trying to chase me away?". Alexander asked coldly even though he tried to suppress his voice and aura.The tension in the restaurant right now was exactly like a stormy rain adding to the rivers. "Of course not…. I'm only worried about your wellbeing since you said you feel uncomfortable staying here". Mina said. She didn't even mind staring at his face when she said. "You're right, little Bunny. Here disgusts me to the bones…. I'm leaving". Alexander stood up with his intention of leaving. He even wondered what made him come here in the first place. What he did now by coming to this place, made him look really stupid. Having lunch with his employees is never in his category!.Mark wanted to escort Alexander out, but he stopped him. And since Alexander isn't the type of person to give orders twice, Mark respected himself and only watched him leave. After making sure that he already left for sure, Lisa said out loud. "That was a blast!. I couldn't even breathe properly".
The bus stopped at the 605 bus station.Mina, including some of the passengers, got off. "Thanks to my luck today, I don't have to cook tonight". She was super excited the moment she stared at the leather in her left hand. She was in a hurry to see her babies, so it took her only 5 minutes from the station to get over to her apartment. "Babies, it's mommy again. Open the door for me". She called out, expecting one among her triplets to open the door for her. A minute later, still no response from inside. "Babies!". She was being loud this time around, and that disturbed the nearby neighbours who warned her to lower her voice. Mina had to knock on the door several times before checking the time. "It's 5pm…. But I returned home earlier today. Could they be already asleep?". She said, "Oh gosh, here goes my luck. I'm not ready to sleep outside tonight". She shivered a little when she imagined how it'd be to her staying the whole night outside.This time around, Mina hit the door
It was already 9am in the morning, Mina was still asleep because she had forgotten about the deal she promised her babies this morning. Her triplets were the ones to wake her up since they couldn't wait to tour around the City. "Hmm…. Don't worry, I'll get up. You don't have to keep shaking me like this". She said to Tyler, Taylor and Tessa before finally getting up, just like she had said. Her eyes were slightly red, though it wasn't that noticeable.Mina sat straight on her bed, and when her legs touched the ground the second she was about to stand up, she fell back on her bed, causing Tyler, Taylor and Tessa's eyes to widen. "What's wrong with your legs, mommy?. Did you hit it somewhere?". Tessa asked. She was still on top of Mina's bed, so she got over to the side where Mina's legs were to massage it for her. "That's really sweet of you, my girl. But it's nothing. I'm just waking up from sleep, so it's natural I guess". She said, but Tessa didn't immediately stop what she wa
"Kids, it's best that we all cover our eyes. It won't be fun to stare around". As they heard what their mommy said, they obeyed her, covering their eyes with their hands. "Phew, my plan is going through". She thought to herself. She was satisfied with how fast she reacted and discovered a great idea to distract her kids. Seeing that her triplets still shut their eyes, she secretly stared at Alexander who came out of his car, assisted by another guy around his age. "How come that guy isn't scared to walk beside him?". She said, "What guy, mommy?. Don't tell me that your eyes are open?". Tyler asked, his hands were still covering his eyes. "Who told you that?. My eyes are completely closed". She hurriedly said. Mina's gaze still focused on Alexander to see where he was heading to so she could end this so-called hide and seek that she formed in a haste and get the hell out of here. "Where is he possibly going?. Did he perhaps capture or want to kill someone". She couldn't help bu
"Kids, I have another game to play. That is, running back home". Mina announced. She was already feeling dizzy from walking too much. It was already 3pm in the afternoon, and her babies seemed to be enjoying everything that they didn't want to return back home yet. "But mommy, we're just beginning to have more fun. I don't want to return yet. It's going to be really boring at the apartment". Taylor said.He was trying to refuse what Mina said to them. "Just do me this one favour, okay?. I'm really tired now, I don't think I can walk further anymore". She decided to explain so that they'd surely listen to her this way. "Fine, but next time, no backing out at all". Taylor said. "I promise". Mina made a pinkie promise to Taylor before he was a little satisfied. "Now, can we go home?". She added."Sure, mommy". Tyler replied. Mina took them to a bus station and they waited for a while before they saw a bus stopped at the front of the station. Seeing other people getting in, she al
"Something had happened to Master Raymond!". She hurriedly reported seeing that they were all staring at her. Noah, Elijah, and Williams, didn't even bother to ask what had happened to their last brother, Raymond, they all just rose up from their various seats and went outside of the Mansion. Arriving outside, they saw Camila and Amelia already shedding tears, their eyes were both red, even that of their mother, Anabelle. "What happened to Raymond?". Noah stared at the ladies as he asked before definitely turning to where their eyes were staring at. Raymond's lifeless body that was covered in blood and lots of injuries, was laying on the bare ground. Even the clothes on him were rough and some parts torn. They all remained extremely quiet while staring at Raymond. The servants of the Mansion also curiously stared at the body of Raymond. "How did this happen?". Noah asked, expecting Anabelle and her daughters to respond to him. "How do you expect me or my daughters to know when
(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?
