* The Next Day *"Then I am going to the office." Apollo was reluctant to let go of her hand. Audrey pulled her hand and walked away, giving him a cold smile.Finally, he felt everything was going back to the way they were in the past. With a broad smile on his face, "If there's anything you want to talk about with me, then call me right away. Ok?" He blurted out, quite loudly so she could hear him."Ok."As he left, Audrey hit herself gently. 'What a fool I am! He smiled at me a little and I melted... No way, I cannot make the same mistake again.'* Some hours later *Settling herself on the swing, Audrey smiled at the phone screen."Gramps, don't forget to take your medicines in time ok? I am not there but that doesn't mean I don't know anything. Uncle Vivan told me that you skipped your medicine yesterday. It must not be repeated or I will just...."Saun grinned and said, "It won't happen again I promise. Your uncle Vivan is keeping an eye on me, I can't make the mistake even if I
In front of room no. 607, ten bodyguards were standing in a row. Patrick walked in the room and saw Saun sitting in a wheelchair. "Mr Cassidy, you wanted to see me." He politely uttered so.Saun humbly had him sit on the settee and handed her an envelope. With a deep sigh, he asserted, "I have a favour to ask you." "Me?""Yes. And I want you to do it without my granddaughter's knowing. Nobody should know about it either but if Miss Grace wants to help, then you can take her help as well."Patrick slowly opened the envelope, the moment he saw the papers his mouth made the shape of 'O'. "This...""I know what you want to say but I have my reasons. I hope you will help me with this." Saun voiced such in a tenacious tone."I have got it, sir, but... I need some time to think."*"Mr Lucas, there's bad news.""What happened?" Lucas seemed unconcerned, now he was the least worried about anything else.His secretary sounded distressed, his voice whispered how much terror-stricken he was at
"What happened that you had been acting like you saw a... A ghost." The words stuck in his mouth as he entered his office. Apollo froze at the spot, his facial muscles tensing up and his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe his eyes."I was talking about this. They... They said they had an important meeting with you, Mr Wyatt." Noah asserted in a low tone of voice, pointing his hands at the twins who were sitting on the couch as if they own it."They look exactly... Exactly like me. How is this possible?" Apollo heard his inner self murmuring.Twin boys who kinda looked like Apollo himself marked his office as their territory, at the sight of them Apollo felt like he was dreaming. He turned his head slightly towards Noah and then back at the kids but nothing changed, he was not dreaming.Apollo unhurriedly sauntered towards them, still in complete surprise. Upon seeing Apollo standing at a near distance, both Preston and Maverick stared at him, watching him from his head to toe as th
* At the airport *Taking her earphones off, Isla tapped on her phone as she looked at the distant road. Nearly ten passed she had been standing at the airport but nobody came to pick her up.Strange! She was told to wait and someone would pick her up.Slightly annoyed, she was about to make a call when suddenly a car stopped before her. She heaved a sigh but not until a familiar figure hurriedly came out of the car and asked her, "Excuse me, Miss. Are you Isla Campbell?"Isla stared at him, the man she had been looking for was right in front of her, she couldn't be happier than she already was. She smirked at him and then took off her glasses.Noah dilated his pupils, he didn't like the sight of her at all.Smilingly, she replied to him, "Yes, I am.""Please get in the car then." With those words, Noah was about to get in the car when suddenly Isla held his hand.He glared at her annoyingly and she let his hand go. Pointing her hands at her luggage she grinned at him, "Please help me
The living room fell silent again, standing opposite of each other, Apollo broke the silence finally. "They are... They are my kids, ain't they?" He asked, his emotions making a mess in his mind.Audrey took a deep breath. She once thought of this situation but it was too soon. Keeping calm, she let him know in a weary tone of voice, "Do not assume things, Mr Wyatt. You have got nothing to do with my kids."Apollo couldn't see her face as she stood at a distance from her but he was sure that she was lying."You don't want me to know that's why you are lying. I know they are m..."Cutting him off she said loudly, "YOU HAVE GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM." Keeping her smile on her face, she sat on the couch. "Kids are so innocent, they can't understand who is bad and who is good. Look at my kids, when they see an elder they treat them good but it doesn't mean, you start thinking that you have got something to do with them.""Avery, I know you are still angry at me because... Because of t
'Damn it! My hand doesn't reach there.' Audrey almost twisted her arm, trying to reach the back of her neck a little down and the ointment fell from her hand.With a sigh, as she leaned down to search for the ointment suddenly a hand grabbed her hand."You... What are you doing in my room?" She quickly pulled away from him, pulling the zip of her dress so it would hide the scars on her body. Anxious, she looked away from him as if she didn't want him to know about it."When did you get the scars?" He asked her worriedly."What... What scars are you talking about? I can't und..." She turned away from him.Apollo kneeled before her, handing her the ointment he looked at her concerned. He already saw what he needed to."You were putting this ointment on your scars. And I saw it." "It has got nothing to do with you. And what are you doing in my room? Who let you in?" Audrey remembered telling Isla to be extra careful. And even without her worrying, she knew her best friend. She guessed
"What?""Get out." Holding the car door for her, Noah intoned.Isla looked around and pulling the seatbelt she held onto it firmly. She nodded her head showing him her whitening teeth as she insisted, "No, I am not getting out. I'm going back with you."Letting out a sigh suddenly he leaned inside the car, trying to get her out when Isla grabbed onto the seatbelt and kept saying no. They were bickering like a couple constantly... suddenly he put his finger on her lips and hushed, "Shhh!" Noah stared at the rearview mirror of the car and Isla followed his direction. Behind their car was another car and two pairs of eyes were focused on them. No, it was not people looking at couples bickering but they looked like some gangsters. Acknowledging the situation they were in, Noah and Isla both gazed at each other and he moved his finger from her lips.They both said in unison, "Someone is following us."With a nod, Noah added, "I have noticed this car has been behind my car all the time si
Sending Grace and Patrick to the airport, Audrey got more worried. After all, it was super risky. Though Patrick assured her that he would protect Grace but still... * Back to the mansion *The moment she put her feet on the entrance, some loud noises hit her. Children's laughter, adults talking, and them playing around were confusing her.The mansion used to be quiet but with the presence of the kids, now it felt so warm and lively.'Who is playing with Prez and Mike? Didn't Granny go back yesterday? Can it be that she came back...'She slowly inched towards the living room, and the voices became clearer."Does Prez likes the toy Granny bought for him?"As the familiar voice caught her attention successfully, she furrowed her brows and grind her teeth."Yes Granny, Prez likes it.""Aww, dear. If you like it, then granny will bring more toys for you." Amy smiled and Preston played around along with Maverick. They seemed happy.Back at home, Audrey never told them about Amy or anyone
