Chapter 21 Tony looked at his boss and asked when he saw the frown of displeasure on his handsome face, “Boss, what is the situation?” Daniel peeled his gaze from the laptop screen and looked at his assistant. He instructed in a deep voice, “Things are more complicated than I thought. Just make sure that no word gets out, because our shares will be affected.” When Tony heard his boss, he frowned. He had secretly found out that his boss was a computer geek, so when he learned that the company had been hacked, he did not panic like the other employees. He had in fact made a silent prayer for the other party, but now that his boss could not even deal with the matter, his heart was filled with panic. All the workers were already panicking, and God knows how many of them have already started to spread the word, in their frantic state. If word got out that their company has been hacked, the consequences will be dire. Daniel tried to hack again but he came up with nothing. he knew that t

Chapter 23 “What did you just say?” Daniel asked. His heart rate increased even further and he could hear the thumping in his ears. Everything vanished and what remained was the voice of a little boy, who looked exactly like him, questioning him why he made his mother cry. “Our Mommy has never cried in front of us no matter how sad she feels. But yesterday was different. Did you bully our Mommy?” “Huh?” “Are you not listening?” “Sorry, come again.” “The reason my brother hacked your company was because you bullied our Mommy. Our Mommy is untouchable and anyone who dares mess with her messes with us. We are her protectors and we cannot allow anything to happen to her.” Clare declared when she saw the confused look on the man’s face. “Who is your mother?” Daniel inquired. “Ella Smith,” Caleb answered. “What did you just say? Can… you…say… that… again?” he asked, his voice raising a notch higher. His assistant was also shocked and he almost felt that he was dreaming. His mouth

Chapter 25 After dinner, the kids did not rush to their rooms as Ella was used to. Instead, they joined her in the sitting room as she watched TV, and cuddled in her embrace. “What is it, my babies? don’t you want to sleep?” Clare shook her head and smiled at her mother, “Mommy, it is too early. Besides, it has been a while since we have accompanied you to watch your favorite show.” “But don’t you have to do your homework?” “What are a few kindergarten questions when we have finished the grade six syllabus.” “Well, Mommy you seem to be in a good mood today, did something nice happen?” Caleb looked at his mother and asked. “Or did you get a call from your secret admirer? You were so happy that you could not stop smiling throughout dinner?” Ella was amused when she heard her children. Was it that obvious? “What are you talking about?” “Yesterday, you were crying like it was the end of the world, but today, you were smiling so happily. Care to share with your little angels?” E

Chapter 27 Ella reluctantly took the thing in the man’s hand and when she looked at it, her eyes widened in shock and her heart thumped hard. It was a cheque with so many zeros. She had to squint her eyes just to count the zeros. When she was done, she jerked her head and looked at the man, utter disbelief was written all over her face. With her trembling voice, she asked, “What is this for?” “Investment,” Daniel said without batting an eyelid. “But… this is not the amount we agreed upon!” Ella said. Although she so badly wanted financial resources, she was not going to take advantage of someone. “About that, I recently got some money and I did not know where to invest it. I thought that maybe I should give it to you. Of course, I am not going to give it away for free, nor am I willing to throw away so much money.” “I also know that you need it. So, here is the deal, you are going to deduct the money we had agreed on in the contract, and the remaining will be my personal invest

Chapter 29 If anything, he knew that Ella was the best mom in the world. Sometimes, he was even envious of how she loved and spoiled her children. So, he did not understand where this self-pity was coming from. Ella pondered about it before she said, “They said that they are always envious of other kids playing with their dads. They want me to find someone who will take care of them and take care of me. It made me think that they have been considerate of me and stopped asking about their biological father because they did not want to hurt me.” “You have sensible kids and although they are more mature than kids their age, they are still children who need to be pampered and taken care of. Although you are doing everything you can to take care of them, they still need a male figure that they can look up to and consider the person their role model.” “Being envious of other kids is part of the growing up process. Actually, your kids only stopped asking about their biological dad becaus
