The dinningSame Day. At the dining.Anna gathered the children at the dining when it was dinner time and they all happily came out including Rico. Bay and Cosimo joined the dinner shortly and the only person left was Ace."Is Daddy not joining us for dinner, Mom?" The kids curiously asked."Of course he is, he will be down soon," Cosimo answered the kids."So guys before your daddy joins us, you need to tell me about yourselves, so who is starting first?" Cosimo looked at them."What do you want to know about us?" Riccardo asked."Um... Who are your friends back in America and were you guys sad because you were leaving them? How much do you like it here? Do you like it here better or not?" Cosimo lined up his questions as he tried to engage the kids.Anna and Bay exchanged a few glances as the kids reply Cosimo."I think you should go and check on him again," Bay whispered to Anna when Ace didn't show up after some time. Anna shook her head reluctantly."Rico, can you bring your da

Mary's life"That evil man is my father, Mr. Agostino is my biological father so I know that much." ."I'm so sorry to hear this Mary," Anna couldn't help but apologize. "You don't need to feel sorry for me or anyone else, this is my fate, although it appears bad I'll live through it with pride."Anna took her gaze down, she felt bad and embarrassed with herself for her dislike for Mary, she never imagined that Mary lived such painful life."One fateful day I annoyed that evil man, I broke a glass cup while trying to serve him and his visitors, he got so angry and decided to discharge me. The man didn't see me as a useful object and he wanted to discharge me with his own hands so he took his hand around my neck and started strangling me.I was around 23 at that time, he didn't even let me attend college because he saw it as a waste of time. While he was strangling me Sir Ace ran out from his room and knocked him to the floor. I was almost out of breath at that time but I saw the angr

Awestruck"I... I think I forgot something," Anna turned and ran away. She has been ogling Ace for the past 2 minutes non-stop, she doesn't understand how it happened but when she realized herself and saw Ace standing right in front of her, she became too embarrassed and had to run away.Even Lady Mary saw it, she saw how she kept staring at Ace without blinking.Shit! Shit! What happened to me? What the hell happened to me? Why did I suddenly freeze? I'm so stupid. Anna made to slap herself but remembers the makeup she is wearing.Anna paced about the room thinking of how she could face Ace.He must be expecting me back there, what to do? I don't think I can face him after embarrassing myself like that. Anna began panting, she was becoming anxious and that increased at the sound of his voice."Anna?" Ace knocked and called."Anna, are you okay?""Yes... Yes I am, I just need to finish with this and...""Open the door," he requested and her heart skipped a beat.No please, she bit her

GistAce and Anna got back to the house a few minutes past 7:00 pm to find the kids happily waiting for them."Your parents are home guys," Bay announced and they ran to greet them. The kids asked them where they went to and if they could follow them to the place next time but Anna covered up by asking them questions about their new school.**After the family were done with dinner, everyone went to their specific room to round up and sleep. Bay came to Anna's room with a huge smile on her face."Tellll meeee! Don't allow me to ask, just spill the whole thing." Bay jumped and this made Anna laugh."Stop laughing and tell me already, how did you pull that off? And your makeup looks amazing, who did it cos I know you didn't do that." She teased.Anna started the story and when she got to the bitchy lady's side, Bay frowned in annoyance."I wish I was there with you, I'd have ripped her clothes off and left her naked," Bay threatened."Yes I believe you, I also wished you were with me a

HangoverAnna tossed on her bed for a while before convincing herself to sit up, immediately she sat up, a wave of headache hit her.She groaned and held her head in pain. The door opened and Lady Mary came in."You are finally awake," she said."I'll be back," she closed the door and went out, she returned a few minutes later with a cup of tea."Here, it'll help your hangover," Lady Mary gave her and she accepted it after thanking her.After drinking it, she felt very pressed so she rushed to the toilet and released herself.She returned seconds later to find Lady Mary dressing her bed."You don't have to do that Mary, please leave it, I'll do it," Anna tried taking the bedspread from her but Mary insisted."You should have your bath and change your dress, you reek of alcohol." Lady Mary scrunched her nose.Anna accepted and left her, she looked at the time to see that it was past 10 am."Oh my gosh! The kids," she screamed."They are already in school Anna, you don't need to worry
