They watched her take the phone from her bag and sighed deeply with an attempt to answer the call but before she could pick the call, the phone slip through her hand and fell on the ground. When the phone fell, it was facing upwards with the screen of the phone proudly displaying the picture and number of the caller.All three of them stared at the screen with different expressions and emotions. Assistant Jake face held an expression of an extreme shock, Alexander Johnson face held anger but one can also say his expression was blank.On the shining screen was the caller’s name clearly displayed as Amor De Mi Vida which translates as the Love of my life in Spanish. The picture displayed on the screen was a picture of two very cute and lovingly looking kids with wide and dimpled smile. They were cuddled in a lounge chair with Alice Jet who also appeared to have a smile as big and sweet as the children in the picture.It won’t take anyone looking at that picture more than five minutes to

I can swear with my life that I’ve never met Alice Jet before. Heck I could have swore that I’ve ever only met Mr. Jet himself on three occasions during all the times we’ve been doing business. But how can a lady I’ve never met before in my entire existence have a son that looks just like me? I know Jake is not lying because we’ve known each other for years and he knows me since I was a teenager, we’ve been best friends for years…..But

Or do you want us to come and pick you up?….wait don’t answer, where are you?We are coming to pick you up…”, she heard the cold but sweet voice of Junior declare as he spoke to her. She wondered how they’d pick her up because coming to the realization that their driver would probably still be around. For a second as she paused on the street, the way he spoke to her brought her mind to the incident that happened barely ten minutes ago. His voice and the hint of sharpness and coldness of it was identical to that of Alexander, their father.She had to herself to reply Junior before he drags his sister and their nanny or driver to come pick her up, she took in deep breaths to calm herself and smiled shaking lips,”Junior darling…..I’m on my way home right now, I went for a me

Junior glared at the cold ground whilst his tiny hands were fisted in a tight ball. His glare was cold, as if the ground has wronged him in a severe manner,”mummy it’s all because of Nancy Li, the niece of Jane Li, the famous model and actress. She slapped Alexia because Alexia defended herself and you when she called you a bad word and Alexia a bastard because she doesn’t have-she doesn’t have-she doesn’t have a father!…”, he howled angrily.“What-what-w-hat-what are you telling me?…”Nanny’s eyes got moist when she saw the broken look on Alice Jet as she kept looking at her son to tell her that what he just said was a lie and that nothing of that sort happened to her babies.Junior didn’t see the pain in his mother’s eyes nor did he hear the sorrow in her voice hence he continued,”so it happened that Nancy Li happens to be the niece of the famous Jane Li so she gets her way always as her auntie contributes and donates to the school all the time.

Happened a long time ago and I think you’ve punished me enough. I have being missing you and those little Munchkins for so long…how are they doing? Gosh! I miss them so fucking

Carlos made a face over the phone and questioned her,”that’s a strange request coming from you. Who is the person going to send the investigators?…”, he asked curiously.Alice smile,” the person that will be sending the investigators is Alexander Johnson…”Carlos gasped very dramatically,”Princesa?! Isn’t that your ex-husband from the wicked family? Didn’t his family and that Li family gang up against you and almost killed you and our precious sweethearts? No! absolutely not!…I’m not giving chances for what happened six years ago to repeat itself. You can go ahead and do all you want with yourself, I don’t care that much but don’t include my babies!!!”, he howled at her through the phone.Alice raised her eyebrows in amazement,’his babies? Lol one would think he got pregnant and gave birth to them himself…ha! how funny and amusing….’, she thought amusingly to herself as she heard scoff and huff over the phone.“Carlos bare in mind that Alexander had no idea what his family was up to un

Alice smiled sadly,”life has it way of humbling you and making you into a survivor, you go through so much that it moulds you into a completely different person than you wanted to be when you were younger. You turn into the characters you judged so much while growing up and you start making all the mistakes you judge so bad. I may be smart but the kids especially Junior didn’t take his intelligence from me. I will dare say he took his looks and intelligence all from his father. He-he took everything from Ale…”“Who mummy? Who did I take after? Who did I take everything from?….”, a tiny voice questioned her softly at the door. Startled Alice dropped the phone and by so doing she accidental press the loud speaker button on the phone.
