Leon Batton, especially, took great care of his little sister, Lynette Batton.He practically acted like a protective father in the classroom and didn't let anything happen to her.Lynette was the kind of person who could cry easily, but his presence there ensured that she was on her best behavior the entire time. Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton knew that their son gave her a sense of security.They jumped up happily when the kids entered the house and walked toward them eagerly.They had missed them, especially today, even though Xyla and Stanley were frequently away at work during the day,Perhaps, it was because of their first day at kindergarten.At the door, Xyla and Stanley picked up Lynette and Leon respectively, making them smile.They looked very adorable in their very first set of uniforms.Their uniforms looked good. Leon wore a white shirt with a black tie and vest, while Lynette had on a white shirt with a black tie and skirt. She also wore a fitting vest with whit

If Lynette Batton was too young to understand, then was Leon Batton old enough, considering they were both twins?He was born only slightly earlier than his little sister.Xyla Quest chuckled with a helpless gaze at her son. โYouโre speaking as if youโre much older.โโI may not be a lot older, Iโm still her older brother. I have to be the mature one,โ Leon replied.Stanley Batton nodded before looking at his daughter. โFrom now on, you mustnโt let anyone kiss you other than Daddy, Mommy, Leon, our close friends, and relatives, understood?โEspecially not boys,โ he hastily added with a stern expression.Lynette didnโt understand why her father said that, but she still nodded obediently.โOkay, Iโll remember that,โ she agreed before tugging at her brother's hand. โLeon, donโt be angry. I understand now.โโSilly girl. You need to learn how to protect yourself sometimes,โ he advised her. His words made him sound even more mature, not like that was surprising to his parents. She

Xyla Quest had no regrets other than not being able to repay her parents for bringing her up.She enjoyed days like these though she'd found herself wishing that her parents were around to be a part of her happy life.She instantly hugged Stanley Batton as she began to feel emotional at the thought.โHoney, I have a sudden craving for the steamed egg and shrimp dish you've cooked before,โ she told him.โOkay, Iโll cook that dish for you right away,โ he replied instantly before heading into the kitchen.Xyla settled down on the couch and began munching on snacks that her husband had bought for the kids.However, neither Lynette Batton nor Leon Batton was fond of them, so she ended up the one who ate them the most often.***Time went by so quickly that it stopped for no one.In the blink of an eye, Lynette and Leon were now six.They seemed much more mature than before and even more obedient.The children were growing well.Likewise, Xyla and Stanleyโs companies also continu

Meanwhile, Lynette Batton kept her head down as she wept in the office of Phaeton Kindergartenโs principal.Leon Batton stood in front of her protectively while a group of adults surrounded them. The principal, three teachers, both parents of the boy in question, and the royal family's bodyguards were in the office.There were glaring at the twins with cold, harsh looks.Meanwhile, the arrogant boy with whom they had a conflict sat on a nearby chair as he glowered at Leon defiantly.Soon, their nanny, Shanice, walked in and hastily pulled the twins behind her in a protective stance.โHey kids, arenโt you going to apologize? Do you want to be kicked out?" the boy's father sneered menacingly before issuing more threats.โMark my words. If you donโt apologize, not only will I see to it that you're both kicked out, but your parents will also be in big trouble.โI wonโt let anyone in your family off the hook,โ he yelled as he pointed his forefinger at them.Leon returned his angry

The principalโs words came as a shock to Leon Batton.At that point, he finally understood how fake the principal and these adults were.He grew angrier, his small fists clenched by his sides.โWhy should I apologize? Theyโre the ones bullying us," Leon stated indignantly, pointing his finger at the other family. "I doubt Lynette and I will stay here for long if this is the kind of favoritism Phaeton Kindergarten offers.โAfter saying that, he directly ran up to the other boyโs father, removing his tiny leather shoe before launching it at his face.For a 6-year-old child, Leon was very swift and accurate, moving like the wind. The shoe had already connected with his face by the time he could react. Everyone was stunned to see his nose was badly injured.At the very least, nobody expected that a kid like Leon would have the courage to do such a thing.The man was now livid after being assaulted by a shoe. He immediately raised his hand and slapped Leon with his full strength,

The manโs wife also began to speak then, but Leon Batton ignored her, silently waiting for someone from his family to arrive.โWhatโs the matter? Arenโt you going to say anything? Are you afraid? Iโll give you one last chance. Kneel and apologize. After that, go ahead and lick my sonโs shoe. Perhaps I'll spare some of your family members who would be arriving later," the man added.His words grew harsher each time he spoke, intentionally challenging Leon and Lynette Battonโs limits.Lynette began to laugh as well, gazing at the adult bully with slightly reddened eyes. โIf youโre smart, you should kneel and apologize to us instead. Then, when my family arrives, I will consider asking them to forgive you.โThis opportunity wonโt come knocking twice. I promise you will regret it later,โ she added.โExactly,โ her brother interjected.Their words seemed to amuse the man further as he started laughing helplessly. โHaha! You sure are brave. Are you trying to intimidate me? Did you reall

Xyla Quest peered at the silent adults around her and asked calmly, "Who hit my son?โMeanwhile, her bodyguards had made their way to the officeโs entrance and stood neatly in a row. Their fully black attire was intimidating to the others, making them feel suffocated.The boy's father stammered. โI-it w-was me. Iโm s-sorry, Ms. Quest. I was ignorant. I didnโt know these two were your children. If I had known, I wouldnโt have done it.โShe ignored him. โWhich hand did you hit him with?โHe took a deep breath. โM-my right h-hand.โHer frown deepened. โGot it. Someone will be here to claim your hand later.โHe paled in fear at her words. Trembling like a leaf, he gazed at her pleadingly. โI'm sorry, Ms. Quest. Iโm truly sorry.โXyla scoffed. โIf apologizing worked, then why do we need the police?โHe knew it was over for him.He hastily went down on his knees as he peered at Xyla, Lynette Batton, and Leon Batton. โIโm truly sorry. Please forgive me!โThe twins merely glared at h

Then, Leon Batton started telling Xyla Quest about what transpired in the office earlier. He described what the man and his wife said or did and also what the teachers had done.Their hearts began to pound when they heard themselves mentioned, hoping that he wouldn't divulge too much but they were all surprised by his eloquent speech.He could narrate such intricate details with emotional depth beyond his years.This kid was practically a genius.The more Xyla listened, the more upset she seemed.She had one particular quirk, and it was that she tend to be protective of her family and friends.โOkay, excellent.โ She glared at the responsible parties once again before waving toward the doorโs direction. โCome in, all of you.โHer bodyguards waiting right outside promptly entered, forming a circle around everyone. They had heard everything Leon described, and now their faces betrayed the rage they felt.How could they allow these people to trample all over the children like that?

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. โYes, Hannahโs very capable. Sheโs our family pride.โHannah laughed. โI was lucky to be accepted by your family.โIn fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

โHannah, Iโve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?โ Leon asked, serious.โYes, I amโฆโ Hannah answered without missing a beat.โIโll protect you. From now on, you donโt have to worry about a single thing.โ With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahโs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealโฆHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannahโs dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But nowโฆ Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leonโs feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannahโs mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldnโt utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Grayโฆ Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didnโt know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. โMs. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs todayโฆโโHe lost his temper and claimed heโd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songโฆโ The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there werenโt many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didnโt respect women at allโฆ Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality.

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven oโclock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensenโs office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office.
