"Sorry?" Amanda asked.Rowan had his gaze on her, he didn't get her attention. She was still thinking about Wills's reaction and what could have made him angry.

"Never mind," Rowan said.

"The evening had been tensed. You should have some rest." Her focus shifted as Rowan attempted to steer the conversation in a different direction.

"Thank you, I will," Amanda responded. Her gaze met Rowan's "what?" She asked, trying to understand the look on his face.

"Nothing!' Rowan exclaimed.

Amanda didn't say anything more. She walked away from Rowan into the house. " Good night" Rowan called out as he retired to his car.

When she entered, the children were already out of their hiding place. They ran to her.

Amanda hugged them tightly, relieved to see them unharmed. They were all talking at once, recounting the terrifying events of the evening. Amanda tried to comfort them, reassuring them that everything was okay.

"Mom, what happened? Who was that man?" Mason asked.

    "Mrs Roberts nodded that she should go ahead. "You are the best mother anyone could ask for. You have been supportive right from the beginning. I didn't realize how difficult it was for you until I became a single mother and trust me, I would not have done a thing without you." Amanda wiped the tears running down her mother's cheeks. "My kids are in your hands and I trust they would do just fine with you." Mrs. Roberts smiled. "Don't try to patronize me. You can put that energy into packing." "Yes, mother," Amanda responded. They resumed tracking immediately. After a while, they had already packed what they believed to be necessary. "You should get some rest, Mother," Amanda said. She was coming from the children's room. They were all asleep by the time Amanda went in to check up on them. "You should too" Mrs. Roberts responded. "Yes, I will. I just need to send this message to Rowan and I will have some sleep." Amanda answered, walking to the living room. She texted Rowan abou

    "I'm glad to see you two getting along," he commented.They were all shocked by his response. "The boss must love Miss Amanda very much." One of the staff whispered to another one. Amanda turned to Rowan. "Anna and the rest of the staff have always been great. They do their best to make sure this place feels like a home away from home.""They can do a better job by helping you settle in right now instead of standing right there enjoying the pleasantries," Rowan said. His smile suddenly disappeared. The staff quickly dispersed, including Anna. Amanda gave Rowan a mean look. "What?" Rowan asked as if he knew not what had happened. "What was that for?" Amanda exclaimed. "You shouldn't give them too much closure. They will take it for granted." Rowan said. Amanda was still trying to process his statement when Anna came back. "I would like to escort you to your room, Miss Amanda," Anna said. Amanda sighed in frustration. "Sure." She replied, following Anna. She didn't say anything to

    When she opened the door, Wilson was standing at the entrance of the room. Her heart sank immediately. "Wilson?" Amanda stammered, her voice quivering. "That can't be." "Well it is," Wilson responded, chuckling. "How the hell did you get in here?" You.." Amanda was lost for words. She couldn't believe he had come to her room unannounced and without Rowan seeing him""This is my brother's house, remember," Wilson replied. "And I believe the best thing for you right now is to let me in, else.." "Else.. What?" Amanda snapped. He pushed past her, entering the room without another word. Amanda's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly turned to him, her back against the opened door. "What are you doing Wilson? I am going to call your brother" Amanda yelled softly, more like a whisper. "Good idea. But if I were you, I would close that door first." Wilson said. He was already sitting on the couch, making himself comfortable. Just as she was about to say something to Wilson, she he

    The sound of the knock pierced the room and Amanda's eyes flew open in shock. The silence that took over for a brief moment was scary. She could hear Wilson's heart beating fast. "Amanda!" Rowan called out softly. Amanda's panic intensified. With tears still wet on her cheeks, she quickly pushed Wilson away. Rowan knocked again. His voice followed the knock. "Amanda? Are you okay in there?"This time, Amanda wanted to respond but Wilson stopped her by placing his left hand on her mouth. He shook his head to signify that she should not answer. The situation was dire, and Amanda needed to act swiftly. She looked around and motioned for Wilson to hide in the bathroom. "Stay here" she whispered. He reluctantly complied, slipping into the small space just as Rowan tried the doorknob. She was yet to regain her composure when Rowan came into the room. "Hey, Amanda, what's going on?" Rowan's tone held concern as he spoke.Her voice shook as she responded, "Why, I'm fine""Are you sure ab

    "Wilson?" Both Amanda and Rowan exclaimed at the same time. Anna nodded to show her affirmation. "Stay right here," Rowan said as he walked to the living room with Anna. Amanda was sure ready to disobey the order. She followed Rowan immediately. "Hey, brother!" Wilson said when they got to the living room. "What are you doing here?" Rowan remarked, ignoring Wilson's friendly smile. "To do the right thing. Take what is mine." Wilson said, grinning. Amanda's heart skipped several times and she hoped she would not panic again. "What is yours? In my house?" Rowan questioned. "Do you even…" "Calm down, brother." Wilson interrupted him. "I am not here to fight. I am here to make peace." Rowan and Amanda shared a glance. "What is it you want, Wilson?" He asked, very calm. "I want to retain my position as your brother. You took that away from me a long time ago and I am here to take it back, whatever it takes." Wilson explained. He was convincing enough that he saw the confusion on

    Back at Rowan's house. Amanda had retired to her room out of anger. Rowan decided to check in on her. Rowan knocked gently on Amanda's bedroom door, concerned about how she was feeling. "Amanda," he called out, "can I come in?"Amanda, still trying to calm her racing thoughts, hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yeah, sure, come in."Rowan slowly opened the door and entered her room, finding her sitting on the edge of the bed, her face buried in her hands. He walked over and sat down beside her, placing his hand on her back."Amanda, I'm sorry about what happened downstairs," Rowan began, his voice filled with sympathy. "I didn't expect Wilson to show up like that." Amanda nodded. "But you see, he is my brother and I can't be mad at him forever, not when he comes at me like that asking for forgiveness." Rowan continued. He found it difficult to interpret Amanda's expression but he continued. "I know you are still pissed at him for hitting on you at the dinner with my parents a

    "Ermm. It..it is.." Amanda stuttered. Rowan scoffed. "Oh, I forgot. You can't tell me." Amanda threw her hands in the air to show her protest but Rowan ignored her. "Anna told me you are up here waiting for me. I am here now," he directed her with his hands. "You can go to bed now." "Rowan!" Amanda tried to talk to him but interjected immediately. "It's fine. See you in the morning" he said before walking away. "That was pretty bad," Mrs. Roberts said, suddenly catching Amanda off guard. "Mother!" She exclaimed. That's creepy. I didn't know you were still on the phone." "You didn't drop the call so why should I?" Mrs. Roberts responded. "I can see you are not having fun there like we are. Just go to bed like he said. He seems like a weak fighter. He will come around in the morning." Amanda sighed. "Thank you mother" She then dropped the call. The following morning, Rowan was out of the mansion before Amanda woke up. She decided to keep herself distracted by getting to know his

    Rowan looked bewildered by Amanda's response. He stuttered, "Wait, what? I just poured my heart out to you, and you're saying no?"Amanda frowned at his reaction. "Rowan, you see, this is exactly why I hesitated in telling you things and even expect less from you. You can be so clueless sometimes."Rowan's expression shifted from confusion to a mix of frustration and helplessness. "Okay, Amanda, I'm not following. What's going on?"Amanda decided to tease him a bit. "You know, Rowan, I was waiting for you to ask me out properly like a real romantic hero. What you just did was more like a heartfelt confession, not a proper proposal."Rowan's face turned a shade of red. "Oh, come on, Amanda. Do I have to spell it out? You know already" Amanda gave him a disapproving look. Rowan sighed. "Fine. Will you be my girlfriend?""If this is the way you are going to ask me to be your girlfriend then my answer is no." Amanda responded sharply. Rowan chuckled, realizing that Amanda was testing h

    It's Amanda's birthday, Rowan didn't mention anything to her. The children only greeted her casually, not wanting to get her suspicious.That evening, Mrs. Roberts came into her room with a nice dress, insisting she put it on.“Why do you want me to wear this mother? I am not going anywhere.” Amanda protested.“Because I bought it for you and it's your birthday. I want you to dress nice. Show Rowan that you've still got it.” Mrs. Roberts said, helping her get dressed.“How many times have I told you that we are taking things slow. I have nothing to show.” Amanda snapped.“You are the one taking things slow, not him. We all know that. Just cheer up already and start having

    Two days passed and everything seemed to be going on well. Although Amanda is still reluctant around the house, especially with Rowan's parents around, the tension has died down. The other staff had also returned, lifting Amanda's mood. The children were also finding their ways around Rowan and the house. That afternoon, they were planning Amanda's surprise birthday, huddled together, trying to conceal their plans when Rowan walked in on them. Rowan raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance."What's going on here?" he asked with a playful grin.Adora, attempting to act casual, replied, "Oh, nothing. Just talking about, you know, stuff."Rowan chuckled, "Stuff, huh? Seems like some secret stuff. Should I be worried?"Tyler stepped forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "No worries, Dad. Just some top-secret mission planning. You'll find out soon enough."Rowan raised an amused eyebrow, "Top-secret mission, eh? Well, I won't pry. Just remember, I'm good with surprises too."“Not our kin

    “What is going on here?’ she asked, trying to understand the situation. Mason tried to explain but Rowan stopped him, lying. “Nothing, just having a conversation with the kids.” “I see,” Amanda responded. “Go and get your stuff. The cab will be here in a few minutes” she had finished her statement before she noticed the expression on the kids’ faces. “What is it?” Adora spoke up, “I thought you broke up with mom because she lied. Now you are doing the same. Amanda's expression changed, concern overtaking her expression. “Lied about what?”Rowan hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "I had a bit of an accident, hit my head on the wall. I'm okay, just a little dizzy."'What?” Amanda exclaimed, rushing toward him. “Let me have a look” Tyler returned to the room, followed by Mrs. Roberts with a cold compress. "Here, Put this on your head. How did this happen?’ she asked. “How bad is it? Do we need to get you to the hospital?” Amanda asked. “No, I will be fine,” Rowan responded, placing

    Two hours later, Rowan returned to the house. He had taken a walk after separating from Amanda to get hold of himself. By the time he entered the house, the lingering tension seemed to have dissipated. “That's a good thing” he said before heading to his room. He had almost walked past when he noticed Tyler sitting in a corner right under the stairs. Rowan approached him. “Hey buddy” Tyler looked at him and looked away immediately. “Can I sit?” “If you are asking because you want me to say no, you don't need to, it's your house.” Tyler said, playing with his fingers. “No..I am asking because I am about to intrude on your solitude, your personal time.” Rowan responded, careful with his words. “May I?” Tyler nodded. “Watch your head” he said to Rowan as he tried to fit in under the stairs. “How are you holding up?" Rowan asked, not sure of how to start. Tyler glanced up, his eyes revealing a mix of uncertainty and vulnerability. “Holding up with what? Your parents being mean to my

    Rowan, frantic and torn, ran after Amanda, calling her name in an attempt to catch up.Madam Xi, now feeling awkward, said, "you don't have to leave. I guess Amanda is still angry.""You have no right to tell us what to do." Mrs. Roberts snapped. "One moment, we are liars and manipulators that you want out of your son's home and another moment, we are perfect strangers for your home.""I understand your anger." Mr. Xi retorted. "But if what our children just said is true then we have to help them.""The only help I can give to my daughter is to support whatever she wants." Mrs. Roberts snapped. "If she says she leaves, then we leave. I won't have her stay with the godforsaken people she called in-laws.""I see we are already on the wrong side here. But this anger of yours won't hel

    "Mom! Dad?" You didn't tell me you were coming" Rowan said, sensing the escalating tension."Yes darling. We felt we can stay here with you for now instead of stalking you with calls. And your dad is not perfectly well yet." Madam Xi responded. "And you didn't inform me?" Rowan exclaimed. Without waiting for a response, he continued. "That's okay, I can work with that but what is going on here?" Madam Xi pointed accusatory fingers. "Look at what you've brought into your home, Rowan! Strangers! Your ex-girlfriend, her mother, and their children!""Mom," Rowan said softly but Madam Xi didn't listen. "Amanda and her family have invaded your home! I won't allow this. They need to leave immediately!""Invaded?" Mrs. Roberts snapped. "We are just here temporarily not to stay."Mr. Xi, angered, retorted, "Temporary or not, I won't have strangers, especially those associated with this unfortunate situation, invading my son's home. This is unacceptable.""Stop saying we have invaded" Mrs. Ro

    The tension in the room died down immediately and silence took over. Mr. Wills walked up to Rowan and said, "How could you still defend this woman despite the damage she had caused to your family? How could you even choose to be with a woman with such baggage?" "To begin with, she has done no bad to my family and I do not think anyone should dictate how I treat my family or get angry when I treat whom I love right. Mr. Wills scoffed, embarrassed by his response. "You should not have left them to be my son's responsibility in the first place." "You are totally right. They wouldn't have been subjected to insults from irresponsible people." Rowan responded. "Lesson learnt. It won't happen again." He turned back to Amanda, "go and pack your stuff. My men will help you. Without hesitation, they started packing. Wills's parents were obviously displeased by the situation but they stepped aside quietly, watching as Rowan's men helped with their luggage. Rowan came with his escort so it

    Jack and Johnny exchanged glances, unsure of how to diffuse the news. "Oh sorry, young men. We haven't seen him either since we got here. Jack answered. "Thanks." Mason said. He turned to Tyler. "Let's go. I want to be by mom's side when she wakes up." They watched the kids walk away before they exclaimed simultaneously. "Wow" "Creation has favored you man. I think you should go claim your children right away." Johnny said smiling. "They are smart" "And the same reason it will be difficult for him to win them over." Jack chimed in. "They know too much for their age. 10 year olds don't…" "Eight!" Rowan interrupted, correcting Jack. "They are eight." Jack grinned mischievously at Rowan, "he deserves the Mr. Father of the Year award for at least knowing the age of his kids." Johnny joined in, "Looks like fatherhood came knocking sooner than expected, Rowan. How are you planning to handle this genius squad?""You will definitely have to brush up on your astrophysics and medical jar

    "Where is my daughter? Where is Amanda? Mrs. Roberts demanded, her voice echoing through the hospital reception. Her eyes darted around, searching for any sign of her daughter. The kids surrounded her like police officers. "Hold on ma'am. This is a hospital, the noise isn't necessary." The nurse at the reception responded to her. "Is that…? Jack asked but didn't finish the statement since he got the answer he was looking for. "Amanda's mother? Yes" Rowan responded, his eyes fixated on the kids. "And they should be her kids," Jack said softly, almost a murmur. "Obviously," Johnny added. "I think Rowan should be prepared to double his security because that little girl is fine as fuck." Rowan and Jack gave him uneasy glances, "Sorry man" he said. "But the boys sure look like you." He mumbled. "My daughter is Amanda Roberts. I was told she was brought in here." Mrs. Roberts answered the nurse. "Oh, then you should talk to Mr. Xi." The nurse said, pointing to Rowan down the hall at
