CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE – A LETTER Marketing specialists were quite expensive now. Dominic transferred the payment to the specialist Jamie found, after a week of searching. She had good online presence and had worked with big companies already. She also had a fashion agency and had offered to bring some kids to model. Of course, Suzy was the main model so the kids will just be models who advertise the clothes. The specialist said it was for no cost and just her ‘little contribution to support the Thales empire’. It actually felt like the cost was covered by the huge amount he paid her but all the same. “So tomorrow, I’d hope to see my cloth line everywhere. The Thales Empire Instagram account also needs to be updated.” He sighed. “I’d let Jamie do that. I’m four years behind in social media anyway.” His mind went to sifting through the clothes that had been preserved in the storeroom. They didn’t seem like they were four years old already. The style still trended, the mater

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE – REGRETDominic rubbed his face and sighed. He should really give Brielle credit for living with a second version of his grand father. Even he knew how unbearable it could get. “You act a lot like your grandfather, maybe you shouldn’t scold your mom. She knows better than you, you know.” Lucas advised. The waitress returned with their order. “I don’t act like my grandfather. He’s not around for me to see him.” Lucas paused, realizing Lucian wouldn’t know the grandfather he meant. “Well…” “I think he means your dad’s father.” Dominic explained. “You act a lot like him. He usually scolds your mother.” Dorian’s eyes widened. “You know my daddy’s daddy?!” “How do you know? Well, if that’s so then I should stop scolding mommy because daddy’s family is bad. I don’t want to be bad.” Lucian said. Lucas's and Dominic’s breathing hitched. “Who told you that?” they asked in unison. “No one.” He replied, surprising them again. “I figured myself.” Lucia

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE – SCOLD Dominic couldn’t sleep since his encounter with his sons. He rolled to his side, then gazed at the ceiling. “Why is Brielle doing this to me?” The reply letter she sent back laid on his bedside table. He was unwilling to open it. If it was a negative response, that he won’t be allowed to his kids, then there was no need to read it and get his mood spoiled that night. If it was positive and he’d be allowed to see his kids, he might wait a while before replying because he wouldn’t want to meet Lucian a day after he called him bad. “Also, she should be busy trying to unlearn them any ill idea they have of me or their paternal side.” He sighed. This was the reason he had kept them at the back of his head to focus on his business. Now, he was emotionally turbulent to do much at his company. Whilst overthinking, he fell asleep. “Uncle Domi?” he heard someone whispering in his ears, while gently shaking him. His eyes fluttered open, when light pi

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN – AN IDEA David held the door as Jean walked in, she whispered thanks and smiled at him; his cheeks flushed. He pointed at the next door where they were to go in to. “Yes, and this is our newest model. It has greater special features compared to the ones I earlier told you about.” She scrunched her face and looked up at him. “Greater special features? Why didn’t you explain the AI driven car with this new model first?” she whined. David had a guilty look and he checked the time. “I was trying to leave it for last, actually. It’s almost time for it to be closed so I decided to show you now.” Time for it to be closed? Jean boiled internally. What would she achieve if he was only showing her now? She ran her hands through her hair. “Um, Let me get a closer look then. Hmm?” she looked into his eyes. She could see herself reflect in eyes as he nodded. “Sure. Let’s take a short tour now, shall we!” Using a special key, David opened the vault to the new

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE – ALL FAMILY Lucas and Dominic walked into Pommel hotel where they were to meet Brielle and the boys. The anticipating and excited smile on his nephew’s face made Dominic warmer. Hopefully, this meeting will be more eventful than the last one he had with his sons. Lucas paused, making Dominic alert, he followed the boy’s eye sight and saw Brielle getting down from the car with the twins. Dorian and Lucian ran into the hotel immediately while Jake, their cousin, stepped down as well. Brielle kept her hands on his shoulders. “I’m sorry, Jake, but you can’t come this time. Just stay in the car, okay? The door will be open if you want to stroll about, okay?” she rubbed him gently. He whimpered then nodded and jumped back into the car. Brielle left him, climbing up the stairs. “Who is he?” Lucas looked at his uncle. He looked down when he saw the cross expression on his Uncle’s face. “We are getting him out of there. Isn’t Jake part of her family?” Domin
