"Ouch…. Why did you have to do that?". Asher complained to Anya when she hit him, but Anya didn't answer him. She just took her bag and ascended the stairs– leaving them behind. "Mommy is really jealous, after all". Zeke muttered. "Come on kids, I'll bathe you". Asher said before turning to face Fiona. "You may leave, Fiona. That's right, your pay would be doubled this month". After Asher said this, he carried both Zeke and Zach before he left– leaving Fiona who was extremely surprised. Fiona was so surprised because Asher wasn't the kind of person to easily give out a bonus like this– meaning that– Asher only gave out bonuses to those who would work their ass out– till they were almost dead. "But…. Does our Boss always smile like this?". Fiona asked herself in particular. Ever since she started working for Asher 4 years ago, never for once has she seen him smiling like this– or for him to be this happy. Since Fiona wasn't needed at the moment, she took her leave. . Anya arri
"Huh?. Zeke baby, what do you mean by that?". This got Anya by surprise, so she asked him. "Mommy you are not aware yet, but Uncle Asher already made a deal with us. We don't have to go to school anymore, but we're going to have a private tutor. And the most interesting part mommy, that pretty lady of last night, is going to be our tutor!". Zach, who was also pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and said in one go. "Eh?.... Is that true?". Anya said in disbelief. "Of course it's true, mommy….". Zach replied with a giggle. The thought of him not attending school was making him excited. "Private tutor?". Anya stared at the twins with suspicious eyes as she muttered. There's no way that this was happening. Wasn't this the same Zeke and Zach who hated her idea of getting them a private tutor– after their first rejection of going to school?. Why the sudden change this time around?. "Are you twins really sure about this? A private tutor?". Anya leaned closer to the twins as she
"Hey…. Do you think this is funny?". Liliana asked. Meanwhile, Anya– seeing that the young lady before her was not clear– took her leave, since the young lady was wasting her time. "Don't dare to leave!. Why are you pretending as if you don't know me?. Let me get it clear, Lucian is mine! Do you understand?!". Liliana smirked when she saw that Anya immediately halted in her tracks. "You're Liliana?". Anya suddenly asked in disbelief. Actually to be fair, Anya cared nothing about Liliana anymore, because she had already erased everything concerning Liliana– from her memories. That was why she didn't even recognise Liliana's face at first. "I see you finally remembered me". Liliana walked closer, and boldly stood in front of Anya. "So what if I remembered you?. What does that make you?. What a joke…. I'm afraid you're only wasting my time since you don't have any reasonable thing to say. Then…. I'll take my leave". After simply saying this, Anya turned her back against Liliana a
"Sir, please let go of my hand". Anya said and forcefully freed her hand from his grip. Soon after, she left without even caring to stare behind her. “Just how worse is my day today? What bad timing". Anya complained to herself on the way– before she reached where her car was parked. Immediately Anya entered her car, she drove off. Meanwhile, Lucian was still stunned by how Anya behaved with him. To him, she seemed like a completely different person!. And not only that, she took him as a complete stranger. What made Lucian even more curious about Anya– was her changes. Her face was brighter and younger than ever, and the aura that she possessed was not that of a naive lady, which she once was– but rather, she possessed the aura of an independent lady. Her body was also matured, and even though she was slim, her curves were still visible and noticeable, thus making her look beautiful and stunning. "Follow her". Lucian immediately brought out his phone and gave his order to Mike, afte
"Oops…. I made a big mistake". Zach admitted after seeing how Zeke was extremely angry– about what he had just called Lucian by mistake. "I get it, but don't make that kind of mistake again, Zach. Anyways, let's get to work, Uncle Asher will be back any time soon". Zeke announced before he stared at Anya, who was fortunately still asleep. "It won't be long before our mommy wakes up. So, let's be fast". Zeke added, and immediately, both he and Zach became busy with their laptops. About 5 minutes later, "Do you see it, Zach? It seems like they underestimated mommy's little armies". Zeke suddenly said, as he was satisfied with himself because of what he had just discovered. In no time, Zeke pointed his index finger at the familiar car– which was parked at the corner of Asher's company. He was able to achieve this goal with the use of the CCTV cameras– which he had hijacked. "I see it too". Zach announced. Actually, he had just finished hacking the CCTV cameras, so right now, he was
Outside the Walton's company, Asher was unsettled because of what Zeke had said to him in the office. To be honest, Asher felt it…. He was sure that his sister must have bump into that son of a bitch; by this, he meant Lucian. [PS: This is a fictional story. So, please don't insult in real life]. Anyways, Asher brought out his cell phone and called one of his men, "I want you to investigate everything concerning my sister. And don't you dare call me back if you don't have any useful information to report to me about. Do you understand?!". Asher ordered before hanging up the call. He almost even smashed his cell phone on the floor. The workers who mistakenly saw Asher's face, were all scared to death. Their legs even betrayed most of them, causing their bodies to remain stiff and go numb. "I'll never let a jerk like you ever get close to my little sister again. Anything you want, you must settle it with me!". Asher declared as he was so annoyed. To relieve his stress, he brought o
"You're with our mommy's phone right? Use the cell phone to figure out where the meeting room is". Zeke announced. The building was a large one, so it was extremely spacious and kinda confusing. To be fair, a novice person would probably lose their way in this building!. "It's over there, at the right". Zach found out where the meeting room was, so he pointed out his index finger at the exact door. In no time, Zeke and Zach went and stood in front of the door. The doors before them were large, so it took them teamwork to open it. Zeke pushed the first door open, while Zach did the same thing by pushing the other door open. Soon enough, they both entered the meeting room. Upon arriving inside the meeting room, Zeke and Zach saw elderly men, who were already sitting on their various chairs, and were also complaining amongst themselves. As soon as the elderly men saw the look-alike kids who walked in, they stopped quarrelling and their attention was focused on them. “Follow my
“Kill me? I see you've been watching too many movies– for you to think that you could easily just kill me”. Lucian said while staring at Asher with an expressionless face. “Tsk, big talk. Just don't be surprised if that ever happens, Lucian. Honestly, I dislike you, and it's a good thing that the twin ....”. Asher immediately stopped talking when he realised what he had almost spilled out. “Just stay away from my sister permanently!”. Asher concluded with a really serious face, before he stormed out of Lucian's office. When Asher left, Lucian's face darkened, before he clenched his large hands into a really tight fist. Lucian was so disappointed that he took out his cell phone and immediately called James’ number. “Where is she?! Where is my wife?!”. Lucian demanded with an irritated tone. “She is at the Walton's Company, boss". James, who was at the other end of the phone call, reported to Lucian almost immediately. To be honest, James and Mike's hearts were beating extremel
“I have no other excuse again, Anya. I'm really sorry”. Lucian apologised once more. His heart was pounding like a drum as he awaited Anya's reply. “I- I-”. Lucian curiously looked at Anya, who was trying to say something. “I forgive you, Lucian. You can get up now”. Anya said to him. This was a tough decision for her. Lucian's eyes widened in shock. Even though he eagerly hoped that Anya would forgive him, it was still surprising to him that she had really forgiven him. After Lucian had collected himself, he hurriedly stood up and hugged Anya. He couldn't ever endure losing her again. “I love you, Anya. I really do!”. He admitted. He stopped hugging her and fixed his gaze on her face. As he brought his face closer to hers, he saw that she didn't retreat, causing him to be happy. He continued to lean forward and finally kissed her. Lucian never expected Anya, who had a hot temper, to easily forgive him. “I- I love you too. But don't you dare break my heart again”.
“Do you think we should be worried about our boss?”. Mike asked James, because Lucian was not yet back from where he had been. And the time was already 5pm in the evening. “I don't think so, Mike. He's not a little kid, so why should we be worried about him? I'm going home”. James announced, before he left Mike's side and went out of the office. But after he arrived outside, Mike grabbed his arm and stopped him. “You're going to leave just like that?”. Mike asked. “Why not? Have you already forgotten the kind of person our boss is?” James also questioned Mike, who was unable to say anything because he realised that he was worried over nothing. He shouldn't be worried about Lucian, rather he should be worried about the people who would dare cross paths with him. James added, “I'm now convinced that you remember the kind of person our boss is, Mike. And if, by chance, you're wondering about where our boss is at the moment, just know that he might be apologising to his dear wife, l
“Why hasn't Lucian come here with the twins? Why hasn't he brought them here? I mean, if he couldn't bring the twins to us by himself, he could have at least asked Mrs Hannah to do it for him. I just want to spend a day or two with my grandchildren. Is that wrong of me?”. Larisa asked, while checking the time on her phone. “Calm down, darling. You'll have a fever if your temperature rises”. Gideon said to her, but she wasn't calming down at all. The same goes for Mrs Griswold, who was also patiently waiting for the twins to arrive. “Where did Lucian possibly take the twins to? Don't tell me-”. Larisa gasped in disbelief, before she added, “Did Mrs Hannah lie to me? That would make a lot of sense because she was sweating when we visited. Maybe the twins weren't with Lucian after all. Or maybe Anya took them away”. “Don't get overboard with your imaginations, darling. Previously, didn't you say Mrs Hannah would never lie to you?”. Gideon asked. “That's it! I've had enough of this
Anya’s mouth widened in disbelief. She had already entered the VIP ward when she heard what Zeke had just called Lucian. Anya pointed her index finger at Lucian and asked Zeke, “Di- did I just hear you call him ‘father’? Or are my ears deceiving me?”. She couldn't believe the words her ears had just heard. And most especially, she couldn't believe that the words came out of Zeke’s lips! Zeke didn't say anything for a while. He simply stared at Lucian, before staring at Anya, who was still pointing her index finger at Lucian. Zeke finally said something, “He agreed to apologise to you, mom. He also agreed to be punished. According to my research, it's really rare to see someone like my father apologise to anyone. So after I get better, I'll retrieve this ward CCTV footage”. Anya was even more confused after listening to Zeke’s explanation. She couldn't understand him at all! It was as if Zeke's words entered her right ear and came out of her left ear. “Tell me the truth, Zeke.
Many minutes had passed and no news from the emergency room. Anya was insecure and restless. She couldn't even bear to close her eyes, even though her eyes were strangely feeling really sleepy and tired. On the other hand, Zach had already fallen asleep in Anya’s arms because of the trauma he had newly experienced today, thanks to Liliana. “Oh, you're back already, brother?”. She asked, after seeing that Asher was walking toward her. “You don't look so good, Anya. Your face is pale. And your eyes, they're tedious”. Asher said to her after he arrived at her side. “Really? I didn't even notice any of these”. She rubbed her face with her palm as she admitted. Staring at Zach, who was asleep in Anya's arms, Asher suggested, by saying, “Why don't you give him to me?”. “That's right. I didn't see that son of-. I mean, I didn't see Lucian. I'm sorry, Anya”. He apologised. “Oh. Don't worry about that, Asher. Lucian is already inside the emergency ward with Zeke. He arrived the min
“Lu- Lucian! He has the same blood group!”. Anya exclaimed as she held Asher's shoulders. “I have to get Lucian here immediately! I don't care if he's my enemy. I must save my son!”. She declared. “Calm down, sis. I'll go get him here myself”. Asher assured her. Although Asher hated the fact that Lucian was the only solution they had now, he still had no other choice but to bring him here fast, since Zeke's life was on the line. He added, “Why don't you look after Zach? I'll be back as fast as I can”. “Bu- But”. She tried to say something, but didn't know what to say. It was as if her mind went blank like paper. “Don't worry about me, Anya. I got this”. Asher assured her once more with a certain gaze, before he gave Zach to her and left in a hurry. “Please, hurry. Zeke is counting on you”. She pleaded. Her voice wasn't that loud nor was it too low. To her, it was more like she forced herself to say something. ‘Sure’. Asher replied to Anya in his mind, because he clearly he
“Da…. Daddy?”. Zach's voice was weak when he called Lucian. He tried to stand up but fell on the floor because of the chain that was used to bind his legs. “Zach! Zeke!”. Anya shouted as soon as she entered the building. Without hesitation, she ran to their side. The four guys continuously groaned in pain while holding their injured legs, which were bleeding badly. Liliana fell to her knees in panic. She couldn't stop staring at Lucian and Asher, who had an intimidating aura. They were also staring at her with piercing eyes and dark faces as if they were ready to devour her completely. She was unable to utter a single word. “Are you two okay?!”. Anya was panicking as she asked. She quickly dragged Zach to her side, before she turned to face Zeke. Zeke was lying on the floor. His bent knees were almost touching his chest. Seeing that Zeke wasn't moving, Anya felt the time around her stop. “H- He- is he alright?”. She asked, before she left Zach and carried Zeke instead. Whe
“Wh- Who are you people?”. Zach questioned, and was terrified of the four scary guys. “Don't be scared, Zach. I'll protect you for sure!”. Zeke was looking around as he declared. ‘This is an uncompleted building. And I bet it's located in an isolated area!’ Zeke thought. Although he was scared, he kept a composed expression, as he didn't want to reveal his weakness to his enemies! It was exactly an hour and seventeen minutes ago when they decided to wait for their mommy. Before they knew what was happening, their noses were covered with handkerchiefs that had medicine in them. Because of this, they passed out. And after they later woke up, they found themselves in this uncompleted building, tied up with chains. Their feets were chained, and the same chains were connected to heavy round metal, making it impossible for them to run away. “Don't you dare touch them”. Evans quarreled with his men. “We're going to leave these kids for that lady to deal with. She'll be here soon”. Ev
“How…. How dare you?!”. Anya roared in anger, and also wiped her lips. ‘I can't believe he kissed me with those same lips that he used to kiss Liliana!’. She thought to herself, causing her to wipe her lips non-stop. “I have sincerely apologised to you, my wife. And I also kissed you, as a sign of my love and affection for you. So, why don't you just give me another chance? I promise I will make everything up to you”. Lucian announced, with his hand placed on his chest. “Now I understand. Something is definitely wrong with you, Lucian. Because if you were okay, you wouldn't have said all this nonsense to me”. Anya said. She felt that something was wrong with Lucian, so out of curiosity she touched his forehead with her right palm. ‘His body temperature seems normal. Is he perhaps drunk or crazy?’. She wondered, since she couldn't tell what was going on in Lucian's mind. “I am definitely all right, my wife. Nothing is wrong with me. I know what I am doing. But please, listen to me.
