"Boss, everything is ready". James announced to a man who was in his early thirties. He was dressed in Black well ironed suit and pants.
The Boss that he referred to only slightly nodded his head in acknowledgement before he majestically came down from the plane through the stairs.Just then, five Black expensive cars arrived at where the Boss was standing and welcomed him. Lucian as always, wore a straight expressionless face, he was Majestic and Charming as always, even after all those years.Soon, Lucian made his way to one of the cars, after which the cars began and drove off. Just then, another plane arrived at the airport, and with steadiness, the plane finally touched the floor, and its tires made screeching sounds as it came in contact with the ExpressWay.‘Finally…. I would say. Indeed, there's no place like home!’. Anya thought to herself as she sniffed the fresh air of the City. She could already feel familiar with the City.Anya wouldn't lie, but as soon as she came down from the plane with her twins, different emotions and memories replayed inside her head. But she was extremely sure not to make that cause her to be weak!. She was a brand new Anya after that day of her divorce, why would she even be bothered?. It's not as if she has anything to do with any single one who hurt her before. She just hoped that during her stay here, she wouldn't cross paths with anyone familiar with her, even though that happened, she will just ignore them!.Anya stared at Zeke and Zach and was thankful because they both look like her a lot, except for their eyes that are identical to his. But who cares or gives a damn?. It's not as if it's only him that has the right to have this eye colour."Come on babies, let's go to our new apartment". Anya announced and held their tiny hands. Zeke stood by her right side, while Zach was on her left side. And since the airport was crowded, it was best that she held her babies hands because she can't afford losing them on her arrival to California, never!."Whoa…. Mommy, California is nice!". Zach's sweet baby voice, caused the attention of many travellers who instantly adored him and Zeke. Though, Zeke was shy and kept a straight face.[Lady 3: Did you just hear that?. Mommy?. Isn't she too young to be a mother?].[Lady 1: You're right, isn't she like 18 years old?. Kids nowadays are just so bold. But I admit, her kids are lovely and cute!].‘I'm a kid?!. 18 years old?. I wished!’. Anya thought to herself after listening to what the people said about her. But anyways, it's not as if they were wrong about her being young…. During the years, she happened to have aged backwards!. Well, she seemed to have already known the reason behind her young body because, after she left Lucian, she was finally able to breathe freely and have peace. To be fair, she had moved on!."Taxi!". Anya called and the taxi driver stopped the car. Anya, Zeke and Zach all entered the car afterwards."MT HOTEL". Anya said to the taxi driver after she settled down in the back seat with the twins."Eh?…. Mommy, isn't that hotel expensive?". Zach suddenly asked."Yeah". Anya replied to Zach before she realised something and thought, ‘Huh?. How the heck did this brat know that?!’. After thinking, Anya decided to ask Zach directly, "Zach baby, how did you know that the hotel is going to be expensive?"."Em…. I guessed it by the name! The hotel name has potential". Zach quickly replied to avoid any suspicion from Anya."Ok dear…. Anyways, are you playing games with my phone now?". Anya changed questions after she saw that Zach was with her cell phone.‘Oh no, I can't return this cell phone to momma now’. Zach was already sweating as he thought. To be honest, he was still busy using Anya's cell phone. "Yeah mommy, I'm playing games. I love your phone! And I'd like to hold onto it much longer". Zach announced before smiling nervously."Fine, don't be nervous…. I'm not going to take the cell phone away from you, I have no one to call anyways, you can keep it to yourself". Anya petted Zach's head as she admitted. Soon, she focused her attention outside the taxi window."Hmm". Zach nodded after hearing what Anya said.After everything was cleared, Zeke gave Zach an eye sign that only the both of them understood…. Actually it was like this because, they kind of are the ones who created it. ‘You almost got caught, Zach. And you should improve your acting skills if you want to take revenge together with me’.‘Sure, big brother Zeke’. Zach also gave Zeke an eye sign.Many minutes passed, and Anya and the twins finally arrived at the hotel. It was so grand that even Anya's mouth was left wide open in disbelief. It was not as if she had never seen this kind of building before, but the country had really changed!. Everything was just so amazing and interesting!."Come on kids…. I wonder how soft the beds will be if we get into our own room!". Anya exclaimed before she dragged Zeke and Zach with her. ‘Come to think of it, how was the elder boss able to pay for this hotel room?’. Anya couldn't help but wonder. But since she had a lot of work coming up during the coming weeks, she had to brush off her thinking and wondering at the moment.Actually, Anya mostly has to focus on taking her two brats to school!. They're so troublesome to her because they always rejected all the schools that she introduced them to!.Zach and Zeke: “Mom, we don't want to go to school!”. This was what they'd always recite to her whenever she brought up that word "SCHOOL"."Good day, I have a room reserved for me, under the name, Anya". Anya confronted and informed the Young Lady who was in uniform."Oh right, here's the key card to your room…. Are these your kids?". The young lady curiously asked Anya even after seeing the similarities in Zeke and Zach's faces."Yes….". Anya simply replied as she didn't want to ignore the young lady."They're so cute!. I can't believe it…. How cute! And just think about how much clothes would sell if they should model for it!". The young lady exclaimed excitedly."Th…. Thanks, I guess?". Anya muttered, and without wasting any time, she grabbed Zeke and Zach and left the young lady. Anya didn't mean to be rude or something, but the only reason she left with her twins was because of how the Young Lady was overreacting. Of course Anya knew just how cute and adorable her babies are, but that Young Lady's exclamation was just a little bit too much.Anya got into the elevator with her kids, and afterwards, the elevator took them to their room floor.With the key card, Anya used it to open the door to her room."Whoa!. Mommy, this is amazing! I love it more than our old apartment". Zach was extremely excited after he entered the apartment…. To be honest, this was the first time that he had to live in an apartment huge like this one. Of course their old apartment was big, but not compared to this one."O…. Old apartment". Anya stuttered as she said, soon she began thinking, “Zach baby, really took this far. Old apartment?. Does he actually think that we came all the way over here to settle down in California?. No way’."Mommy, I think my stomach needs attention". Zeke announced to Anya after his stomach growled hungrily."Su…. Sure Honey. What do you want to eat?". Anya asked Zeke."Em…. Zach should be the one to decide what we'd eat, mommy". Zeke admitted and thought to himself, ‘I'm afraid that right now, I don't have any idea about what to eat’.Seeing that Zeke gave him the opportunity to select what they'd all eat, Zach smiled and said all this in one go, "Mommy, we should eat chicken and fried rice and wine"."Eh? You're going to eat all these foods, in that small stomach?”. Anya muttered in disbelief. Anyways, it shouldn't be hard for her to prepare them. She could easily make that for them, except the wine part. Instead of wine, Anya decided to replace it with orange juice."Why don't you twins wait here let mommy go get the ingredients?…. Make sure not to come outside, okay?". Anya placed a kiss on Zeke and Zach's foreheads before running off.After their momma left, Zeke announced to Zach, "Zach…. It's time for plan A".Zach clearly understood what Zeke meant by this, so he went to search for Anya's laptop before bringing it back to Zeke who later busied himself with it."Done…. Now they never would be able to trace or even slightly track this laptop!". Zeke suddenly announced after a while of operating the laptop. Plus, if no one is able to track this laptop, it means that their aim for revenge would be so smooth!.Zeke decided that they would wait later before starting out their plan. Since they just arrived, they should leave it for a while, and another thing, because their mommy was still around, they should wait until she goes to work."What about school big brother?. What if mommy decides that we go?.... I don't wanna go". Zach complained to Zeke."Don't worry, little brother, if mommy decides that, we should go, okay?. And don't worry about anyone bullying us because, I'll bully them and their parents first". Zeke announced, causing Zach to simply nod his head.Zach trusts Zeke, since Zeke was the stronger one compared to him.The entrance door of the apartment swung open."Hey babies, mommy is back!. We should prepare for a feast!". Anya announced as soon as she entered. In her hands were bags of ingredients that she just bought.“Woah!.... Mommy, that's a big chicken you got there!”. Zach exclaimed.“Yep babies, and it's all ours!”. Anya announced to both Zeke and Zach.On the other side of California…. Inside a large Company, there was a guy in his early thirties sitting on his massive office chair."Anything this time?". The boss questioned with authority."I'm sorry Boss, we still couldn't find the whereabouts of your sister. We failed you, we apologise". They all bowed before him after apologising."It's okay…. You should keep searching, no single time is to be spared!". The boss ordered them before they excused themselves and left.Asher sighed heavily and said to himself, "Little sister, where the heck are you hiding all these years?. Do you plan to shut yourself out from the world completely?".."Achoo!!!. Is anyone talking about me? Tsk…. That's just a MYTH belief. How can one sneeze mean someone is talking about you?". Anya shook her head as she said to herself. It didn't take her long, and finally, she was done cooking. Actually, the cooking took her an hour and a few minutes."Come on to the dining room, babies, it's time to eat". Anya called.[Zeke and Zach: “Finally!. Food is ready! We're starving!]. [Zeke and Zach: Note, Mom is like a snail to us when cooking!. Jeez]."Zach, we should better go wash our hands". Zeke suggested."But, big brother Zeke…. The chicken is staring at me! I want to eat it". Zach announced as he was already salivating over the food that was on the dining table."Come on, the chicken is not running or going anywhere!". Zeke declared and grabbed Zach's hand before heading to the kitchen sink.After washing Zach's hand, Zeke said, "There you go….". Zeke couldn't even finish his words because Zach ran off to the dining room.Zach didn't even wait for Zeke to complete his words, and he rushed back to the dining room. Actually, he was just so hungry."Easy there, you don't want to choke". Anya, who arrived in the dining room, settled down on one of the chairs before she said to Zach who was eating fast. It didn't take long, and she served both Zeke and Zach orange juices."There you go, cup filled". Anya announced, and after everything was set, she joined her twins and started eating."Mommy…. It's so sweet!". Zach announced as he kept on munching his food."Yeah, it's good". Zeke supported."Mm". Anya nodded at her kids as she continued to eat.It reached a certain point and Anya stopped eating and said, "That's right kids, I should look up schools for you two. I want you two to begin going to school ASAP". Anya secretly took a peep at Zeke and Zach after she had said, and to her great surprise, they didn't react negatively.‘Does that mean that my twins finally accepted to go to school!?. That's great news for me then!. I really want them to go to school and be smart like the other kids!. Whoa, my wish has finally been granted!’. Anya thought excitedly. At this moment, she felt like the proudest mommy."Since you both agreed to go to school, I better eat and look up for suitable schools!". Anya announced. ‘I can't afford you both changing your minds later on’. Anya thought to herself.Just like she said, Anya excitedly finished eating her meals before going ahead to grab her laptop. After taking her laptop, she went to her room and shut herself inside. This was the first time her cuties never complained about school, how they behaved now was much more like how a grownup. [Anya: Boohoo!!!... My kids are growing up!].After Anya left, Zach said to Zeke, "Mommy took the laptop"."Relax Zach, it's not as if she'll ever find out anything. Give me momma's phone". Zeke announced."What are you planning to do with the cell phone this time?". Zach curiously asked as he was already looking forward."It's nothing much, let's just watch the stupid headed aunty that badly wants to marry that jerk. You know Zach, it still puzzles me why he hasn't yet gotten married to her. And we're going to be six years old tomorrow”. Zeke simply shook his head as he stated."I guess something must be wrong with those two sick love birds….". Zach admitted."I wonder the smile on that jerk's face when he finds out about the evil secret of the lady he trusts!. Hahahaha". Zeke announced and laughed out loud."You really are mischievous, Zeke. We're totally opposite, your laugh is creepy". Zach announced as he felt goosebumps because of Zeke's laughing style."What?. That's how a villain should laugh hmph". Zeke pouted his lips and furrowed his eyebrows as he said to Zach..It was the next day already, and Anya already prepared everything for her babies. But this morning, she got the most shocking news!. She never expected to win the fashion competition and earn a brand new car for herself. Plus, she even grew her Boss's small company! [Her boss's company was getting popular because of her now!].Throughout this morning, Anya had received a lot of calls, Including the elder Boss called her and said lots of speeches, like…. [Elder Boss to Anya: You're a gifted child, Anya, don't let anyone take advantage of you, and please don't think of ever quitting from my company]."Mommy, best day ever. I was thinking of how Zeke and I are going to go to school everyday, but now that you have a car, I don't have to worry about anything because it'd be easy for you to take us to school from now on!". Zach exclaimed."R…. Really? Come on then, we still have to register you and Zeke at your new school. And don't forget, we have to celebrate your birthday today!". Anya announced and giggled afterwards. Soon, she thought to herself, ‘Jeez, I better make time to meet with my big brother. But should I really bring Zeke and Zach along with me?. Of course I have to, I don't care what he says, all I know, they're my kids alone!. But what if we bump into that jerk some day?’. Anya couldn't help but wonder. To be honest, she never wants to see that jerk’s face!.Anya was even sincere enough to tell her kids about that jerk. Actually, it was better that she revealed it to her kids because in the future, it might bring up misunderstanding.Anya, Zeke and Zach came outside their apartment. And when they arrived down the building, they all entered Anya's new car."Make sure to put on your seatbelt, kids". Anya announced. And since Zeke and Zach want to be close to their mommy, they settled in the car's front seat with Anya. Plus, It'd also be a better view for them since they're in the front seat.Anya drove for 10 minutes before she arrived at school."Mommy, is this the school?. It looks too nice and childish". Zeke admitted as he had already disliked the school."What do you mean childish, Zeke?. Are you not a kid too?. Ooh…. Seems like someone is acting like a grown up”. Anya announced before she added, “Come on, we have to get you twins registered. We still have a birthday to celebrate!".Even though he tried to hide it, Zeke couldn't stop himself from blushing. His mommy was so pretty, she's even more pretty than that stupid jerk Lady. But what the heck is wrong with the world?. His mommy was this pretty, and was still betrayed back then!. Plus, she was naive. [Zeke: I really need to spank some sense to my momma for being naive in the past! it just spoils my reputation!. Hmph]..Note that everything happening in this book is fiction, don't try it in real life.PS: To my old and new readers, chapter 1 and 2 is now edited to a better readable version! wish me luck to edit the other remaining chapters too. lolz.The principal was stunned because of the two young boys. Actually to him, they seemed to be smart just like young adults. But indeed, they gave him tons of trouble with their smart questions. For Zeke’s first question: “Mister, don't you think it'll be distracting for the kids to learn with the TV in place?". Zeke wasn't satisfied seeing how childish the classroom was, and not only that, what was more annoying to him was the Tv set. It was not as if he exactly hated the idea of a TV in the classroom, his only problem was the fact that the cartoon the TV displayed was so childish to him. To him, the cartoon was meant for a 6 months old kid."Thanks a lot for your assistance. We'll take our leave now!". Anya announced before she hurriedly took both Zeke and Zach with her. Her little pumpkins gave her a pretty tough time today, she didn't even have the opportunity to compose a single sentence because Zeke and Zach were always interrupting her. But fortunately for her, the registration wen
"Eh…. You two?….". Anya said and was finding Zach and Zeke really weird to her. After paying for what they wanted, now they want her to drive them back to the hotel?. This was not what she intended to happen when she brought them here in the first place. Her initial plan was to spend the whole day with them because from tomorrow, she'd be a lot more busy with work. With her Boss running on her tail every second, she'd have to work really hard to design the best dress ever created!. "Hey babies, whatever you may be thinking in your little heads, but this is definitely not the right time to go back…. We're all going to have fun until night falls!". Anya announced. Plus, she was surprisingly strong because she was able to carry up both Zeke and Zach in her arms. "Come on, there's a park I love, but too bad I didn't have the opportunity back then to go. But now… I think I should". She giggled as she said. ‘I should do this for you…. You seem to be really happy, Mommy’. Zeke thought as he
"Wow!!!.... Mommy, this is so amazing!". Zach said out excitedly as the ride finally stopped. This is their 17th ride in this park. Anya was super energetic to give up today, so she stuck around and played every ride and game she could find. "That's right Zach…. Mommy can always take you here if you want". Anya assured Zach who smiled while nodding his head– before he directed the ice cream that he held– in his mouth. "Mommy, can we go home now?. I can't be exhausted because of school tomorrow". Zeke said out loud. When his mommy first brought them to this park and he somehow supported her idea, he never expected that it would last this long.Anya has almost entered all the whole rides but she wasn't yet satisfied. The time was now 5pm, and Zeke planned to return home earlier than this, so that he could begin with his plan with Zach. But Zach also disappointed Zeke a little because he was so lost enjoying all the rides– that he even forgot about the deal that he and Zeke made. "You
"Brother?". She said out in disbelief. This made both Zeke and Zach stare at her, and then, at the strange guy. ‘He's mommy's Brother? No way’. Zeke thought. "Anya, it really is you". Asher pulled her in for a warm hug desperately– like she could just vanish into thin air, just like always. "Why did you have to run away?. Did you think leaving a message would make me feel at peace? Why didn't you come back home?. You know I'm going to take good care of you if you did that back then". Asher said out everything that was inside his head– he just couldn't hold it in as he had finally found his little sister after many years. "I…. I". Anya gulped hard because she was having difficulty figuring out what to say. Actually, she had no exact explanation of why she left the country. Was it because she was embarrassed to face her own brother?. Or was it because she was ashamed of herself for being so naive back then?. She just couldn't tell the reason why she ran away. "I'm sorry brother…. I….
"Huh?". Even after James heard Mike's explanation, he didn't understand what he meant. "You know what? Never mind. Even you won't understand how I felt today". Mike announced with a frowned face before he left James’ side. .Asher's Mansion,As Anya arrived with Asher in his mansion, she felt like a total stranger, and was greatly disappointed with herself about that.Asher could understand what was going on in Anya's head, so he patted her head and said to her calmly, "It's okay, little sister". "Mm….". Anya nodded at Asher and followed him inside the mansion's living room. Even Zeke and Zach followed. "Come on kids, you must be hungry". Asher announced before leading the way to the dining room. "Uncle handsome, don't you know what today is?. It is our birthday. You also have to celebrate it for us, just like our mommy did". Zach nagged Asher. "Wow…. Let me guess, you guys are six years old?". Asher questioned Zach, who nodded. ‘I knew it! Uncle handsome must have secretly look
"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. Anyways, since Fiona wasn't needed at the moment, she took her leave. .Anya a
"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 asked.
"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 and pr
