“I WON’T ACCEPT SUCH AN EXCUSE.”Adriella protested, arms crossed and brows high with her strong demand of reprimanding her grandchildren’s bullies. “We do not allow such in this school Ma’am.”The vice-principal, Mr. Grey, and the one that ever since the beginning is siding with the school’s bullies. Especially the son of the politician who in turn is giving a high amount of donations to the school. “We understand your sentiment.”He explains, keeping everything cool inside the principal’s office is about to get chaotic. “If you do, then do your part and take this seriously.”Adriella defended and strongly demanded, eyeing the four boy’s nannies who are in the middle of a situation where they couldn’t say or do a thing. “We will, do not worry Ma’am.”The principal and director of the school calm Adriella. Weighing the situation and keeping her at bay. “For now, we need to wait for the parents of the kids and talk everything out.”“I do not mind that,” Adriella assures, but with
“I SEE.”Adriella’s voice drops, disappointed and a bit enraged, yet she kept her calm and sophistication upon seeing the person that she hated more than anything. Her worse nightmare and past business rival, Charles Gideon.“What a surprise to see you and in this circumstance Adriella.”“Mrs. Lawrence.”Charles casually address Adriella and she immediately corrected, with a bit of an authoritarian tone. “Mrs. Lawrence?”“The grandmother of the twins that your son and his friends bullied.”Adriella emphasizes, foreshadowing the fact that she doesn’t need to guess who Charles's son is for the fruit doesn’t fall out from the different tree. “Your grandchildren. I see, but I highly doubt that my son and his friends are the ones who should be blamed here. For my son is not a bully.”Charles stands on that ground, to which Adriella replied with a smirk and an unbelievable expression on her face. “Well, I also doubt it. Besides, it is not impossible now that I knew who is the father.”An
ON her way to the principal’s office after dropping the kids in the hospital and leaving them with Sam who she didn’t allow to come with her knowing that something might happen big. Cath sure knew what she is doing, hitting the bull’s eye like she had foreseen the future and now is in front of the principal’s office and overheard the heated conversation inside. “I know my son he isn’t a bully. Maybe those twins are the ones to blame and started everything?”“Tsk!” Cath click her tongue in dismay. Couldn’t believe what she is hearing for it is clear as a sunny day that they are all now ganging up on Adriella. “I do not think that was the truth.”She opens the door after knocking thrice and didn’t wait for an invitation. Stepping inside with that firm look and voice, the principal’s expression lightens upon seeing her. “Mrs. Lawrence.”The principal addressed her, with her tone like she had just seen her savior. For she honestly thinks of Cath as one, especially after she defends
“WILL gran-gran be alright, mommy?”Monique suddenly asks, worried and unlike her usual self where she always claims that Adriella is someone that no one could ever mess with. “Of course, baby.”Cath assures the little girl, as she drove the twins to the hospital to check their injuries and any further complications that happened. And just to make sure that everything is alright. “We are worried about gran-gran.”The first that Cath heard it from the twins, especially from Monique that isn’t easily scared, until now. “What do you mean Monique?”She asks confused, yet didn’t show it to the twins. “I do not think she can handle Cedric’s dad.”CEDRIC?The name that Cath confirms immediately is the one who spearheads the bullying toward the twins. “Is he the one who bullied you both?”With a quick nod from the twins, Cath is patching the information and what Monique is trying to say to her. “Cedric is the leader of the four boys that hurts Cole.” The little girl started to explain
“CHARLES GIDEON. GOVERNOR GIDEON.”With a sinister smile drawn on her face, Cath couldn’t help but chuckle at the end. For the name that was not just familiar, but a shady one is once more knocking on her door. “So, you decided to run for politics and from all places in this state.”Her mind is currently on the path that’s kicking her journalistic nature. For she already knew more than a thing and two about the person that will be her target. Not an easy one to cross, but she already put him down then and this time it is not that difficult to do so for a second time. “Now I understand your worry for your gran-gran Monique.” She assures the twins and especially Monique with his smiles and words. “Do not worry, gran-gran is alright, mommy will come for her aide.”“Really mommy?”The twins ask her in unison and excitement. She immediately nods in response and assurance that put huge smiles on the twin's faces and cheered her with. “For now, I want you both to be good and especially be
“DADDY!”The twins call in excitement and run toward Sam who just arrived and panting. He just went into a sprint and was in a hurry to arrive at the hospital. “Speaking of the devil.”Doctor Lee whispers with a sinister smile drawn to her face and winks at Cath. A bit puzzled, she just let everything flow and see what will about to happen. “Monique, Cole, are you alright?”Sam immediately asks his twins and looking at their bruises and wounds worries him more. Worse he is now disappointed and angry by what happened. “Did those boys get their punishment?” He quickly follows with another one and immediately looks at Cath with a mixed expression of anger, worry, and disappointment. “Cath, what happened, did you—”“Hold your horses for a bit daddy.”Monique quickly stops him with her little hands in front of him in a commanding way, rather than a request. “First of all, both I and Cole are alright. We have a few bruises and Cole with some wounds and two, but Doctor Lee is done examin
“FOOLS!”Governor Charles Gideon screams, slamming the table with both of his hands and throwing the stack of documents from his table. “I apologize Sir.”The bodyguard of his son Cedric apologizes. “I failed to watch over the young master and prevented such a thing from happening.”He poorly explains while holding his breath from time to time knowing the punishment that is like hell that he is about to have. “Stupid! I do not want your apology, go and make yourself useful. Do your freaking job!”Charles commanded in his deep and angry voice. Shouting at his employee and pointing his finger to the door that his son’s bodyguard immediately heeded. “You are all useless!”He continues to scream, throwing everything he sees in front of him. Shows his dominance, anger, and disappointment that his close employees and those who are afraid to cross him know him. “You know that nothing will be solved with that kind of attitude.”A sexy blonde woman enters his office. Locking the door with
“WELCOME BACK EVERYONE.”“Nanny Ester, everyone!”The twins cheer in delight after seeing the old woman nanny Ester greeting them in front of the mansion with all of the housemaids in two. “You are all here and already?” Monique asks in surprise and gladness before the two of them Cole looks back at their gran-gran expecting an explanation and two. Yet, rather a confirmation that they wanted to hear from her. “Mom?”Sam asks Adriella in surprise. Thinking of what just his mother ate and she changes her mind about letting Cath clean the entire mansion as her test and what she initially planned. “Does this mean, mommy, pass your test gran-gran?”The little girl excitedly asks with a bit of a squeal that Adriella is no surprise to here from her witty granddaughter. “What do you think?”She teases a bit. Especially that all along she knew that her grandchildren and her daughter Lindsey is helping Cath all this time by giving her the advice that she needed to win her approval. “Is th
