After their hot and steamy shower, Jace and Arianne decided to prepare breakfast for the kids. Jace prepare their coffee and milk for the kids while Arianne make pancake and fry some bacon.
When she was almost done, Jace phone rang.
His smile turned into a scowl upon checking the caller id. He sauntered to the veranda to answer the call.
"What do you want?" he said without even greeting whoever it is on the other line.
Arianne was shocked with how he behave towards the caller. She can even hear him over the kitchen because of his high voice.
"I don't have time for your stories so either you cut this call or I will do it!"
"D'you really think I give a damn? So what? You do and try whatever may please you but one thing is for sure, I DONT CARE!"
It's now Arianne's turn to furrow her brows. Who is the caller that seem to irritate him that much? He really look very much annoyed to the caller and maybe even w
Monday morning comes eventually. Jace and Arianne acted like any typical parents. Jace Keller, the former high school heartthrob and a quarterback, thecollege infamous heartbreaker and the sole heir of the Keller empire, and now one of the most influential person and a billionaire, was assigned to wake up his twins. He came to wake up his son first because Jacob is easier to handle. He washed his face, made him brushed his teeth and change his clothes. Then they went to Tara's room and both of them, took a deep breath before entering. They both love and adore Tara, but really sometimes they feel like they want to pull out all of their body hair out of frustration. Only Arianne can handle her. But if Tara's get upset, both the father and the brother also get heartbroken. Surprisingly, Tara is already awake when they enter the room. She is still sitting in her bed while she play with her barbie doll. Jace then notice something is w
When they arrived in his office, his mobile rang. He reached to answer it while Arianne went straight to her own room. He fixed his schedule for the day and went to fetch his coffee in the pantry. He is still on the phone when she give him his coffee. Funny, inside this space, he can act like the usual rich and powerful businessman. But when they're at home, he is just a doting father to the twins and a passionate lover for her. She likes him better at home! She smile at the thought and Jace saw it. She decided to leave to give him some more time but he gesture her to wait. He grab her by the waist and let her sit on his lap. He play with the buttons of her blouse as he talk business with the caller. A few more minutes then he cut the call. He kissed her fervently which made them both hot and bothered. But Arianne being the more sensible one, pull away from his scorching touch. "We have work to do boss!" s
"How about we try Ms. Miller's suggestion? I mean, we could use her as a bait but we will make sure to still protect her no matter what happen!" Taylor then said looking straight to Jace. "No can do Taylor! Her mother is not in a stable mind, she's very dangerous! She almost killed her before!" Jace said with gritted teeth. "No pain, no gain Jace! I'll do it for my kids. I mean, not until we catch mom, my kids will not gonna be able to live in peace!?!! There would always be that certain fear that can only be subside if we get her to stop her from doing those shits!" Arianne said determined to end her mom's craziness. Jace scowls and grunts are the only sound you can hear inside the room. The other three people are seem to be in a deep thought ignoring him at the process. After a few seconds he took a deep sigh. "Taylor, add more security to my parents' house and tomorrow we will bring the kids there for their own safety while their mom will do some h
"Jace, mom called up! She has dad!!!" Arianne said with eyes blurry with tears. "Shit! What, how did it happened?" Jace said while gently patting her back. Arianne shrugged. "I don't know! I just talked to him right?" Before Jace could say another word, his phone rang. Seeing it was Taylor he answered hurriedly. "Taylor!?!!" But he got startled upon hearing the commotion on Taylor's background. His children came to his mind in an instant. "What's happening there Taylor?" "Jace, I am here in the kindergarten right now. And there's an explosion not long ago over here, before I reached this place, two of our people has been shot and Tara was kidnapped! Jacob is with us already but there are still men around still shooting on our way!" "Okay call some more backup and the police! Please bring home my son safe Taylor!" he said calmly and ended the call. "What's happening at school Jace?How was the twins?" Arianne said now in total pa
"Jace, finally Solinap started to talk. Him and Lauren are both connected to Italian mafia. That's why they get away easily with their plans of troubling Ms. Miller. He also said that Lauren has been planning to kill her daughter for so long!" "Okay Taylor got it! I think I know who can help us do our work faster. I'll call you back!" he quickly cut the call and dial another. "Whoa! The great Jace Keller called me!" the guy on the other line said with enthusiasm. "Cahill, I need a favor!" Jace said directly. "Again, wow! Seriously, I don't expect that you will be asking a favor from me! Anyways, you can ask anything Keller!" "My daughter has been kidnapped this afternoon along with her grandfather, Arianne's dad! And we found out that the kidnappers are connected to the Italian mafia!" "What did you say? Tara was kidnapped? Bloody shit! Okay, I will work for it personally! Consider this job done in less than 24 hours Keller! And
Arianne is quite good in assessing an employee but when it comes to Jace, her heart always distracting her. Determined, after this ordeal, she will focus on checking his loyalty! Let's see if he is still hiding something. She mentally thought and smirk in her somehow hopeless idea. Jace feeling her mind is wandering in somewhere he hoped is good enough, he drag her to sit down beside him. "Love, there's a cabin inside this jet, you want to take a nap there?" he then whispered lovingly in her ear. Arianne shook her head knowing well that she can't make herself settle in peace not unless she found her daughter and father. "We're going to stay up in the air for three fucking hours you know!" he again said and gesture to the stewardess to come over. He ask for some whisky for him and Killian just to loosen a little and an orange juice for her. The stewardess nodded and go prepare their drinks. She then handed it to them bowing her head. Arianne th
Jace went to the weeping Arianne who got stuck up to the ground. Killian calmly went to James' side and check him for any pulse. Thankfully, he found it eventhough it's weak. He nodded to the paramedics who enter the room and give them instructions about James' condition. He never dare to lay a single glance to Arianne's mother whom he's certain is dead because he knew he never misses a bullet especially if it's a headshot. "Love, it's done now! C'mon let's check your dad and Tara!" Jace heard everything that Lauren said to Arianne and he felt bad for her. All he is thinking now is to protect his woman from the types of Lauren who is vicious enough to try to kill her own daughter. "I need to call my grandma! She needs to know!" the ever thoughtful Arianne is still thinking about others even she herself is still not stable enough Jace thought to himself. He nodded then slowly bring her outside while the paramedics do their job and retrieve Lauren's dead body.
When James was settled in to his own room, both Jace and Arianne went to Tara's room on the other side. Tara is still sleeping peacefully when they enter the room. Arianne rushed to her daughter and gently grab her hand and kiss it while stroking her still fluffy cheeks. She just want to stay beside her but she has things to do one of those is to take care of her mom's remains. "Jace, can you stay here for a while, I have to go and check for mom's!" "Joey is already working on it! You don't need to lift a finger on it!" Jace said with an annoyed expression. She can't really blame him for feeling that way, truth be told, her mom tried to hurt her, her own daughter and even dare to shoot Tara, their little girl. She sighed. "Okay! Jace, why is there no police in that area by the way? Aren't they supposed to be there because there is a shooting incident!?!!" Arianne asked with curiosity itching on her. "Killian's men handle them well! You hav
