Chapter 5

It was a few days to Christmas, Katrina would've loved it if the kids spent it with their grandpa, she'd imagined them spending a lot of time together and she planned on dressing up in Santa's costume to present the with their favorite video games and toys

She already made so much plans for them to enjoy the holidays, she didn't expect for everything to change in a blink of an eye, just because they met their Father.

“Joanna, come here right now!” Katrina yelled out loudly, summoning the little kid who was focused to the cartoon videos she was watching. While her brother was at the corner playing with his toys, Katrina was never bothered about the little boy because, according to her, he was younger, and Joanna had to act like the older sister at all times..

She frowned as Joanna ignored her, knowing fully well that they didn't have much time left, their flight would soon be ready and they'd have to leave the city soon.

It hurts Katrina to make this decision, but it was for the best. She didn't want her children to be stigmatize by the nation because their father didn't want them, and also, the issue had been made public and it might affect them in school. Knowing their father's position in the society, Katrina didn't want to bring more shame to the family.

It took a while before they were all completely set for the trip. Katrina already spoke to the buyer for her newly bought mansion. She thought that they'd be able to stay there for a long time so she had bought it for their comfort.

Settling the last luggage into trunk, Katrina stared back at the mansion, and then at her kids who had disappointed looks on their faces as they settled in the back of the SUV. “I will miss grandpa…” Jeremy said calmly while Joanna shook her head, staring at her mother.

Katrina turned her gaze away, there was no going back on her decision, they had to return back to Germany that day so she could resume working soon. She was going to move her business, not until everything changed now. She smiled briefly, trying to mask the disappointment on her face as well.

Immediately she was settled into her seat, the driver took off heading straight for the airport.

The next day was hectic for Dylan and it was only 7 a.m, last night he could barely sleep, not only because he was caught up with the thoughts of Katrina and the kids, but because the news got to his grandfather, Mr Michaelson who'd been sending numerous text messages to him, asking him to come back home and explain to him.

He also wanted to meet the kids and the mother. Mr Michaelson didn't even give Dylan time to think about a decision, he immediately asked him to confirm their paternity and get married to Katrina immediately.

Dylan was so bothered, he'd vowed to himself never to get married or have kids, he didn't want the kind of life he lived for his kids, being born in the Michaelson family wasn't an easy task for anybody.

Now, those two adorable kids would have to face what he'd also faced in the past.

The Michealson family held a high ranking position in the underworld, his grandfather was a ruthless mafia don, who'd influence anybody born from their family to become like him if he could. They had the power to eliminate anyone who gets in their way and were indomitable. He couldn't let those children witness the same thing he did.

Including their mother, Katrina. She was beautiful, smart and seemed very fragile. The more Dylan thought about it, the more concerned he was. He was quite disturbed until he got up from the bed. There's no way he was going to let it happen, allowing his grandfather to dictate his life for him.

He moved towards the drawer immediately and grabbed his mobile phone to call Bryan who he'd sent to get a DNA test done on the kids. They'd managed to secure a sample of their hairs yesterday at the party.

Dylan spoke with Bryan on the phone and he'd come upstairs shortly with the results. He knocked on the door when he'd arrived and Dylan let him in. Immediately, the results were given to him and he read it immediately. His DNA with both kids were 99.9% match.

He couldn't believe his eyes, he had kids! With this, he was more determined to protect them all.

“Where are they now? Get me their address!” He declared.

Bryan took out his mobile phone to call the spy he'd employed to watch ever the since last night. Immediately the man picked it up, Bryan spoke with him.

The call ended with Bryan having a long frown on his face, he immediately turned to Dylan and said; “Sir, Miss Davidson already booked a flight to leave the city, apparently, they'll soon be at the airport, and she is leaving with the kids!” He announced it to him.

Dylan's both eyes widened in shock the moment he heard what had happened. “Get the car ready! I have to stop them! Katrina must not leave the city with those kids! They're mine!” he growled in rage, imagining the defiance of Katrina.

The ride took a few minutes because of the speed, and the moment they arrived at the airport, Dylan started his search for them. “Spread out and find them all!” He ordered his men and immediately, they started a quick search all through the airport.

Dylan was impatient, he took his own route and searched for them, since they were going to Germany, he quickly moved to check the area where they flight list was being recorded. His hands quivered just by the thoughts of losing them.

No matter what, Katrina mustn't leave the city with his kids! “Boss, we found them!” One of the guards quickly informed him and Dylan went with him immediately. The guard led Dylan to where they had Katrina and the kids surrounded. They looked frightened, but immediately the kids saw Dylan, their worries disappeared and they rushed out to him.

“Daddy!” They chorused, running towards him, breaking the circle firmed by the guards around them. Katrina who didn't understand why they were suddenly trapped by this men was stunned by who ordered it in the first place.

She stared angrily at Dylan, how dare he cause them more trouble after rejecting before? She was so angry, she moved out of the guards formation and stepped forward to meet him.

Their eyes locked on each other in a deep stare, Dylan was speechless. Asides from the fact that he'd already messed up, he was mesmerized by Katrina's beauty.

“Katrina,.. I'm sorry. I never should've doubted you” he apologized calmly, but Katrina was the opposite of him. She was filled with rage and tried to pull out her kids from his arms. “Stay away from us, Mr Mickelson! Kids, let's go”

“No, mummy. We want daddy!” Joanna yelled out defiantly, Katrina was stunned.

Even though she knew it was wrong to refuse them access of their father, he already didn't want them.

“Stop being naughty, Joanna!”

“No, she's not! I'm their father and I have the rights to be with them, Katrina.”

“Dylan Michaelson, you already stated that you aren't sure of their paternity. Why come back now to cause a ruckus? It's already been a hectic situation for us, not being able to celebrate the season with grandpa because of the scene you caused at the Christmas eve party.” Katrina explained.

“It's different now, I mean, I want to be in their lives, Katrina. Let's get married. And I promise to be a good father to them!” Dylan proposed.

Katrina's mouth widened, she wanted to speak but was out of words. “Wh…. What did you just say?” She asked him after settling for a while.

“Yay, we're having a daddy for Christmas!” Jeremy was the first to speak. “Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!” The crowds witnessing the scene chanted, making Katrina lost for words.
