054 JOANA'S POV I chuckled softly when I saw Peter begging them to let him go, but they remained adamant. “Your kids are obsessed with play, aren't they?” Caleb had a small smile on his face. “That's the crazy thing. They are not really that obsessed with playing. It just happens once in a while; I just feel they are over-energetic because Clinton visited today, and they had cake.” “Makes sense…” he turned his head to me, “so what did you want to tell me that you had to dismiss the kids.” My breath seized for a while, I honestly did not want to tell Caleb because I could not think of his reactions, but at the same time, he needed to know. “So, remember the call I had with the police, right?” “Yeah, concerning the stalker, did you get any other news?” “The stalker was… Clinton.” I looked at his face, waiting for his outburst, but there was nothing. He was weirdly calm like he expected it. He let out an airy chuckle, “Oh my dear Joana, what did you expect?” I was

055JOANA'S POVThe sound of my alarm kept buzzing, letting out a soft groan, I turned off the alarm to prepare myself for the day.I was beat up from thinking throughout yesterday, I was about heading into the bathroom when a text entered.It was from the delivery company, the jewellery had arrived.I put on my night robe heading downstairs, “mommy…” I heard my kids call out, all dressed in their school uniform.“Good morning, Mommy,” they said in unison.“Good morning, my love. I hope you had a wonderful night.”They nodded their heads quickly, “mommy what about your night?” Jake asked softly.“It was fine, mommy needs to pick up something, go have your breakfast.”I smiled at them as they ran to quickly have their breakfast.I enjoyed the walk to the gate of my estate. It had been a while since I had a walk. Enjoying the birds chirping, the morning sun that complimented my skin tone.The cool breeze that soothed my skin, this really made me feel calm, forgetting about my worries.I

056 JOANA'S POV “Shit!!!” The heavens were really against me today. Why did my car break down all day? Where the heck was I going to hail a cab? I dragged myself to the front of my estate to find the maids I hired to clean up the mess drooling over something or someone. I peeked over to find Clinton standing close to his car, looking handsome. Even if I hated him, I couldn't deny his handsomeness. “Damsel in distress?!” He yelled out; the maids turned to see me and squabbled back to their work. I cursed the heavens under my breath for putting me in this situation. “Is the car ride offer still on?” I asked softly, but barely over a whisper; I hated the fact that he always caught me in my awkward and embarrassing moments. “Always open,” he opened the car door for me, I sheepishly entered the car, and I made a mental note to myself to get a new car after this. If one car messed up, the other wouldn't. I buckled up before he would try to recreate any shifty romanti

057JOANA'S POVI left the station with a huge headache. It couldn't be Anita. Nobody would give false accusations at gunpoint.I hailed a cab from the station to my office as I drowned in thoughts, I and Anita had never crossed paths, so why?But what if he was just assuming that since the person and Anita had the same body structure, but then again, the description fitted so perfectly?I alighted from the vehicle heading into my office, I was greeted by the staff, and then I remembered I had another unsolved case.I phoned Caleb, opening the door to my office. My eyes met with Caleb's, who had a smiling face, and a lady sat next to him.Anita?!I smiled gently, placing my things on the desk, “Oh, hello, I didn't know we would have a guest,” I tried to hide the awkwardness in the tone of my voice.“I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, but I wanted you both to meet sooner.”Caleb faced Anita, “Anita, I know you may have heard of her, but this is…”“Joana…” she walked up to me with a

058JOANA'S POVI gently sipped the milkshake that I had ordered while enjoying the scene unfold.“The police did get me, but I haven't said anything after all. You still have my daughter,”“And I don't plan on returning her anytime soon until the deal is complete,”“This wasn't the plan,” I could feel the anger in his voice.“Things changed. Unfortunately, the men I hired couldn't get the job done, and now that girl caught up to them, I won't release your daughter until Joana is dead.”“The police are onto me. There's no way I'm going to make any mistakes except you can wait,”“My patience is on a thin line, and I hope you know that your daughter won't make it without the surgery.”Anita stood to leave, “why are you doing this to her? She has not done any harm.”“A hitman doesn't ask questions, but since you want to know so bad, she has something that belongs to me, and until you take her out, I can't get it.”Anita left the place and then the man and his daughter, but Caleb looked d

059 JOANA'S POV “I think we should head back into the cafè,” Caleb finally broke the wavering silence in the car, I gazed at him, confused. “Why?” His tummy rumbled slightly, exposing his hunger, “that's why.” “It's not my fault that you ran out of the cafè without eating, and besides, I have work to do.” I turned to leave, but Caleb held me by the wrist, “C'mon, I have already apologized. Don't do this to me.” I removed his hand from my wrist, “you only apologized for looking down on me, but you didn't apologize for walking out from me.” “Okay, fine, you win; I'm really sorry for my crazy reaction towards you this morning, so please, can we go together to get brunch? I'm famished.” I gazed at his fake puppy eyes, “don't try to look cute with me, I'm not buying it. Can't you just order in?” I blasted him with the same words he used on me, “I know you're mad at me, but c'mon.” I chuckled softly, “Okay, fine, let's go,” he had a huge smile on his face as we alighte

060 JOANA'S POV The way he said my name sent shivers down my spine. It was cool, soft like he was trying to tell me something from the tone of his voice. I gazed into his eyes deeply. It felt like a spell was cast upon me because I was too immersed in his sight. “Joana…” Caleb cut me out of my trance, “huh?” “Tell him not to pick the kids. After all, he said, "You have the final say,” I chuckled at Caleb's jealousy and over-protectiveness. “Unfortunately, I can't. I already promised him, so I can't go back on my words, and you saw how the kids are always clingy to him, so my dear, I have the lower hand here.” Clinton snickered, “Oh well, I guess I need to get the car ready, Caleb. I won't mind you joining us. At least they would have their uncle around.” It was kind of funny seeing these two bicker, I had honestly forgotten about the situation that I was under. For a minute, I hoped my life was as peaceful as this meeting. What if I and Clinton never had any issues

061JOANA'S POVLouisa launched towards me but was stopped by Caleb, “The only reason I haven't beaten you up to a pulp is because you're a lady; don't try me.”Caleb growled as I chuckled lightly. Louisa, fuming with rage, ran to Clinton's side, but Clinton removed her hand from him.“Are you really doing this to me?” She yelled angrily.“You caused it. Besides, when will you stop ruining yourself? You're an adult. Act like one.”Clinton pushed her aside and walked to me. She screamed loudly, drawing attention to her.“Joana, mark my words, you will pay for all these, I promise you.” She picked up herself and left the place with her supposed minions.“How do you survive with this girl all the time?” Caleb scoffed, heading to his car.I chuckled softly, heading to Clinton. He tried to open the door for me, but I stopped him, “I agreed to ride with you. It doesn't mean I'll let you do all these shitty things.”Clinton's face turned cold. I don't know what he was expecting, but I hoped

071JOANA'S POVThe room became eerie with silence, Clinton fuming with rage, Anita's face covered with tears, and Caleb relaxed, enjoying the show.Anita abruptly stood up, her nose flaring with anger, “you know what…” she glanced at me from the corner of her eye.“I don't care if you follow me or yell at me, but suspecting me is just insane,” her fake tone was completely filled with sadness; no one was siding with her.Her voice cracked, “I thought you were my brother, I thought you loved me,” her last words came in more like a whisper; her world-class acting was really perfect.Forcing her way out and staring deep into my eyes, I could venom all over her pupils."Non mi fermerò fino a quando non avrò ciò che mi appartiene.”Which translated to “I am not going to stop until I have what's mine” in Italian.A sly smirk grew on my face. Did she really think I didn't understand her? She turned about to leave."Buona fortuna nella tua ricerca! Ricorda che ciò che è tuo ti apparterrà senz

070 JOANA'S POV What the hell did I just witness? Peter meeting up with Anita? I wanted to know if those crazy hours of designing and work had ruined my eyesight but I wasn't wrong. Wasn't she supposed to be recovering from her accident? Who am I kidding? She was never in an accident, but she should at least try to make it seem like she was recovering. I scoffed at the heavy makeup she was wearing as they hugged each other and for some reason, Anita was smiling widely. Like they knew each other for a long time, I really wondered how long she was able to convince Caleb that she was a good girl. I picked up my phone and called Peter immediately. He picked up, “hello Pete, could you please pick up the kids after school today?” Anita kept touching his palms softly like they were dating or something but I couldn't see Peter's reaction. “I will, I'm currently meeting up with a friend, after the meet up, I'll head to pick the kids.” “Okay…” We ended the call and I pro

069JOANA'S POV“Caleb… do me a favour,” I asked softly, squeezing the paper and throwing it away.“What favour, and what was in that paper?” He tried to glance at my path, but I had already disposed of the paper.“I'll explain later, but can you move back into the family house,” I immediately held my seat belt when he abruptly stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road.“Are you nuts?!”“Someone could have gotten hurt!”I yelled at the top of my lungs, placing my hands on my chest to calm my thumping heart.I checked around to see if there were any drivers on the road because they would surely land curses at Caleb's sudden reckless act.“I'm meant to ask you that you want me to move back in. Why?”“Firstly, get back on the road. Otherwise, we're going to get a ticket for stopping in the middle of the road. Once we get to the office, I'll explain better.”Caleb mumbled under his breath, and we got back on the road. On our way, I got a text from Clinton.“I've dropped the kids at

068JOANA'S POVCaleb brought out his middle finger at me and went back to his room. It was fun seeing him and cute and all.I retreated back to the room when I saw Mirabel lying on the bed sleeping again, I knew it. Her brothers must have woken her up since the two were up.But Japheth and Jake were already in the bathroom, splashing water everywhere. It was an annoying habit of theirs to fully wake themselves up.“Do you want your punishment to increase…”*“You're going to fall if you keep running around like that…”The kids were exploring the house while we waited for breakfast until Jake ran into Gates Senior.I immediately ran to him, but before I could take him, Gates Senior already had him in his hands.Jake looked terrified, “good morning, sir,” he said calmly.“Good morning boy, running around like that, you were going to hurt yourself,” he said to him softly.“Good morning, sir,” I said, reaching to my son, “I apologize. My son was just enjoying the house so much that he di

067JOANA'S POVCaleb wasn't happy that I was toying with his brains. He had no idea what I was talking about.“If she didn't have the child, then she would be panicking, but she's awfully calm,” Caleb asked, genuinely confused.I chuckled softly, “That's her facade, something she had been building for a long time,” I let out a tired yawn.“I need to head to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day in this house.”Caleb nodded softly, “Good night, have a good sleep.”Caleb slowly closed the door behind him. I slowly tucked myself, and a soft chuckle escaped my lips; Anita had been on top of this game for too long.It was time to make a triumphant return. Would I use my knight or play the games with my pawns?*I slowly flickered my eyes open, reaching out for my phone. It was barely 6am, I was hit with a terrible headache, and I needed some painkillers.Pushing Mirabel softly to the side, I made my way to the kitchen to make some warm lemon tea.I got closer to the kitchen when I heard

066JOANA'S POV“YOU SAID YOU HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT ONLY FEW SCRATCHES!!!”Clinton quickly pointed out, his face cold with no expression on his father.“I… I didn't get into a nasty accident, just a mild one, that's why I have a few scratches,” she defended herself calmly.“And you fainted for over an hour,” Clinton attacked her again.She was trying her best to stay calm, but Clinton wasn't going to let her.“Clinton… you need to calm down, we should thank the heavens that she is safe and didn't get into a nasty accident. You would have blamed yourself for life.”I reasoned with him calmly that Anita may be smart, but she should learn how to cover her trails properly.One thing I have learnt so far about Clinton was that he hated being deceived.“I'm sorry… it was just too much for me to handle. Truly, I would have hated myself if anything should happen to you.”Anita smiled softly, “It's fine…” She darted her gaze in my direction. It was stern and deadly but still held an innocent lo

065JOANA'S POVWe arrived at the hospital as the kids waited with Caleb and Clinton, and I went into the doctor's office.“Luckily, there's nothing wrong with Japheth. Everything seems to be okay. He's a strong boy.”The doctor smiled, passing the documents to me and Clinton, “Doc, are you sure? It took us some time for us to get him out of the ball pit.”“The pit was truly deep, but there were no pressures on him, so thankfully, there are no internal injuries.”I let out a sigh of relief as we headed back to meet the others. Clinton got a phone call and excused himself.We headed to the parking lot when Clinton rushed to me, “I'm sorry, I won't be able to drop you and the kids off; I have an emergency.”He bent to the size of the kids, “Hey guys, Daddy is really sorry, but I can't drop you guys off. I promise to take you to school tomorrow.”“Pinky promise,” they stretched out their pinky finger to their father, who smiled and snuck his bigger finger pecked their foreheads and left

064JOANA'S POV“Mirabel…”My mother instinct kicked in, and I rushed to the sound. Mirabel was seriously crying; then I noticed that Japheth was missing, and Jake was removing some balls while crying.“He pushed Japheth,” she pointed to a boy who was hiding behind his mother. A tall man pushed them behind him.“Stop accusing my boy,” he growled at my girl. Clinton rushed him, grabbing him by the collar.“If anything happens to my own boy, today would be the last day you would see life,” he threatened.Caleb managed to bring Japheth. He was struggling to breathe properly.“Why wasn't your kid under parent supervision?” The man tried to defend his child.“Since your child was under parental supervision, why didn't you stop him? Oh wait, he's a child of a bully.”The man wanted to punch him, but Clinton dodged, folding his hand behind his back.“The dog who barks the most can't bite,” he pushed him away, “who's the manager of this place? I want the camera footage of this place asap, or

063JOANA'S POVI sighed deeply, entering the car, Japheth and Jake still had a long face while Mirabel tried to make them smile.“Don't put on such a long face; see, we're finally in Daddy's car,” Mirabel tried her best to cheer them up.Clinton shook his head, sighing, starting up the engine, and heading to the ice cream parlour.“Japheth… Jake, cheer up, remember I promised you ice cream, so if you don't smile, I'm turning this car back home.”The boys slowly raised their heads, putting up a small weak smile. They were still devastated, but I wanted to teach them a lesson.Nothing should ever make them throw their fists no matter the age they were.“Those are not genuine smiles, okay, I'm turning the wheels,” he made a fake turn, and the boys quickly shook him.“We're smiling; don't go back on your promise,” I was about to scold them for their tantrums, but Clinton gave me a glare.“Alright… you win, ice cream here we come,” Clinton cheered loudly.I didn't like the fact that the k
