Chapter 3

The party was still buzzing as always and the twins kept playing. They'd left their grandfather only hoping to find their mother soon as she's been away for a while now, and none of them knew where she'd gone.

Joanna was the first to notice so she informed Jeremy so they could go search for her. As the both of them held their hands running through the crowd of people, Jeremy mistakenly stumbled upon a tall man.

He'd hit his face on the man's knees, the little boy was confused on what to do, he and his sister exchanged glances, knowing that they'd done something wrong, Jeremy started to cry.

Dylan, who didn't expect the kids to run into him heard them cry so he quickly leaned down to their level. Although he wasn't good with kids, he picked them up in his arms and tried to make them stop crying.

The music was a bit loud so the guests could barely hear them cry. Dylan took them out to a more quickly place in order to calm them down.

“Shhh…. Calm down kids, tell me, what's wrong?” He said,

Dylan hoped that they would keep shut after what he'd just said. Joanna finally opened her eyes to stare at him, from his actions, she could tell that he wouldn't hurt them, besides, there was a sudden feeling of warmth and comfort she got from him. Her brother as well did.

The both kids stare at the man who held them carefully in his arms. “Daddy!” They both chorused.

Dylan blinked his eyes confusedly, as he was just about to utter a word, his assistant appeared behind him.

“Boss, we have to go back to the party now” he informed him, setting his eyes on the kids, he couldn't take his eyes off Jeremy who was a complete replica of his boss.

“Mr Michaelson, are they?” He asked halfway and he paused.

“I do not know them!” Dylan claimed coldly, thinking that he'd seem too simple to them, that was why they assumed that he was their father.

He carefully put the kids down, and as he turned to leave, they started to cry out loudly again.

Dylan knew that he couldn't leave them there. “What do you kids what?” He asked, starting to feel agitated by them.

“Help us find our mummy!” They both said.

Dylan glared at Bryan, and immediately, his assistant knew exactly what to do.

He stayed there with the kids, trying to get them safe until their irresponsible mother returns. Who on earth leaves her children running around at a party? He asked himself rhetorically.

Meanwhile at the bathroom, Frank tried to kiss Katrina, she immediately kicked his groin, sending him to the ground in pain. He held abdomen, yelling out loudly, the noise almost attacked people outside.

“Next time, do not ever come near me!” Katrina declared as she left him there stranded. During the time she'd birthed the twins, Katrina learned how to fight in a Chinese martial arts school.

She knew exactly how to protect herself from perverts like him.

As she heads outside the bathroom, she came across Lucy and a group of women coming towards that direction. As if she knew that it was all a set up, Lucy raised her hands to slap her. “Katrina, do you have no shame? How dare you seduce my husband?” She questioned her, trying to fight but Katrina didn't want any trouble.

At this point, the only thing that she could think of was finding her children and leaving this place. She was so uncomfortable.

“Lucy, isn't it a stunner that you already know that I was inside the bathroom with Frank?” She asked her. “Or, did you both plan it all to seem like I tried to seduce him? Remember, he was the one who came unto me in the female bathroom”

She said.

“Katrina, you're so full of yourself!” She tried to hit her, but Katrina defended herself. Lucy was stunned when she saw Frank coming out of the direction Katrina had left, most especially because he looked so bothered and sick. Like Katrina had done something to him.

Lucy rushed to meet him, she grabbed his arms to support him. “Are you alright, hunny?’’ she asked him.

“Yes, I'm fine. If it isn't for your whore of a sister who tried to force me into sleeping with her and I refused.” He explained quickly.

Soon, the people in the area increased as they all noticed the noises around.

“Katrina, you're such a slut. When will you stop sleeping with men? Even after two kids, you're still so shameless!” Lucy insulted her.

Katrina didn't even flinch, she pushed her fingers into her pockets, bringing out the mobile phone she'd used to record her conversation with Frank inside the bathroom.

She played it for them to listen. “Here. Now we'll all know the truth. If I'd seduced your husband or not!” She stated.

Frank's voice was the first to be heard in the audio recording, he continued to profess his undying love for Katrina and how ending up with her sister was a mistake.

The moment Lucy heard that statement, she turned and slapped him hard on his face. She kicked him as well and he'd fallen to the ground immediately.

“How could you, Frank?” She asked him.

The man looked embarrassed after what Katrina had just revealed to everyone. Katrina left the scene immediately, letting the both of them deal with their selves which she hurriedly looked for her kids.

After a few minutes of search, Joanna and Jeremy were nowhere to be found, spiking Katrina's fear.

She thought of where else she hadn't looked, and the garden was the perfect place. She went outside quickly, and just by the entrance, she heard Joanna call out to her.

“Mummy!” She yelled out, and the man who'd held them in his arms let's them off to run to her. She leaned down and hugged them tightly, tears almost escaped her eyes, she'd been so frightened about losing them both.

Without looking back to thank Dylan, she carried her kids straight inside the hall to announce her leave to her grandfather.
