Kristen immediately twisted Aridan's arms, sending a vicious kick to his belly.He floated midair before setting down on his feet.“I have been handling you with kid gloves like the baby you are, but you mistook my gentility for weakness. If the cobra doesn't bare its fangs, little children will mistake it for a rope and use it to tie their firewood. You little piece of shit, don't dare me, or I will leave your corpse for Alex before leaving,” she roared angrily, staring at them.“Kristen, we were settling this amicably, there was no need to get physical. What's wrong with you? Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill? You're the elder here, what's wrong with indulging him a bit?” Ikaris asked impatiently.“Did he consider the fact that I was his elder before humiliating me? Stop taking sides and playing favorites, it doesn't suit you!” She roared angrily, kicking Ikaris.Ikaris immediately blocked it with his palms, her pointed stilettos leaving an imprint on his palm.“Kriste
"Master, Aridan kept harassing me for no reason at all. I was trying to escape when you woke up. I know he's your favorite, so I avoided doing anything that would hurt him. But he kept pushing too far without regard. I was trying to leave because I was scared you would get angry that I defended myself against him. I also spoiled some equipments in the process. So I was very scared, please forgive me. They were ganging up on me," she whispered, crying profusely as tears spilled down her face.She kept wiping it but more kept spilling out, at a point she began to cry loudly, bawling like a baby.Alex watched her contemplatively, he had heard everything that went on in the room when they thought that he was still unconscious."Shh! Come here," Alex whispered, extending his arms to her.She quickly burrowed into his arms while he wiped her tears, feeling smug.Alex held her closely, analyzing her true emotions.He immediately scanned her body and reached out to her back pocket, bringing o
Immediately the helicopter landed in the villa, Alex saw Ariella riding a pink bike, hurrying towards the helipad.He smiled and got down, waiting for her to get closer."Daddy!" She shouted, abandoning her bicycle to jump into his arms."How have you been?" He whispered, caressing her hair as he walked fast into the house, noticing that she had added weight in just a few weeks of his absence. She looks chubbier, a little bit taller with a rosy skin, her hair was also neatly braided, complementing her designer children's clothes.He immediately felt sorry that she had to starve for so long, she obviously loves good food, the evidence was showing clearly on her body.Alex quickly set her down on the patio."Daddy is in a hurry, eh? Brother Aridan will give you what daddy ordered for you and your brother," he quickly said, disappearing through the back gardens.Immediately he entered the basement, his eyes went to his son who was still on life support equipments under the life-preservin
Alex walked into his study, while glowering as if he wanted to tear someone apart, Tajana hot on his heels."What's the problem this time?" He asked in irritation."An unknown monster arose in the Cheong-do area a few days ago. It has been killing people in their hundreds, causing panic among the residents. Not just that, the shaolin monks in that area were also sacked from their temple by the monster. All efforts of the military to end the monster, or monsters, causing this calamity proved abortive, making them send an SOS to the main base," Tajana quickly informed."Ha! You can't handle some vagrant monster? I'm sure you all can handle it on your own. Since it's in a village that is nowhere close to any mysterious land, pocket space or territories with strange phenomenons and portals, it probably won't be that strong. You can send two of your brothers to lead men from the first division's team A to go deal with it. They should be careful though. Whatever the threat is, I'm sure our
"Madam, I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to leave with the boss's children," Raz said humbly, barring Eleanor's way."Excuse me? They're my children, not his. I carried them for nine months, gave birth to them, cared for them and loved them all these while. How dare you tell me what to and what not to do with my kids?" Eleanor roared back."Madam, please, don't be irrational. The boss needs them too. The house feels lonely without them. When you take them away, it will be cold and uneventful. It's not just us being selfish by wanting to keep them around, but it's obvious they're happy here. Little Ariel woke up just three days ago and was placed on very expensive and intensive care. That's the only reason he's able to run around happily, eat heartily, play his video games and ride his bikes. Can't you see it's more convenient for them here where they have all they need? The boss will be very sad if you take them away. Not just that, Ariel has not recovered totally, he's still being m
"It doesn't matter what you say, I will continue their treatments elsewhere," she insisted stubbornly."No other doctor can treat him, can't you understand me at all?" Alex asked impatiently."What's so great about medical formulas which you probably stole from others, huh? I have been taking care of them, I can raise them to become great adults, without your ill gotten wealth. I will never let a criminal raise my kids," she said firmly, making Alex shake in fury."You insensitive woman! Boss is not a criminal, how dare you insult him like that? Those that know his true identity worship him. This city.." Aridan began to say, but Alex quickly stopped him.Alex squatted before his kids, trying to swallow down his tears of heartbreak."Little angels, daddy loves you a lot. You're the greatest gift I have ever received. I can't bear to live without you. I don't want you to leave. Can you stay with daddy? I promise to make you both very happy, and protect you. Just say you want to stay wit
Aridan walked down with the kids, carrying two heavy bags.Soon Mac and his assistant walked out, carrying two heavy cartons containing food supplies as well. "They don't need all that!" Eleanor whispered, feeling angry that Alex was packing food as if he was afraid she will not be able to feed them without his help."They already brought it out, sending them back will be too bothersome. One of them can escort you to carry it up to your house, okay? It's a waste. We don't eat most of that, it was bought for the kids. They should just take it along instead of being wasted here," Alex quickly said, fearing another argument.But to his greatest surprise, she nodded in agreement. The truth was that she was neck deep in debt and was worried about feeding the kids especially when their appetite had enlarged to a frightening level. So Alex's stock of food items, enough to last them two months if used sparingly, was a welcome development.Mac gave two paper bags containing the twins favorite
Alex stared at the screen, calmly waiting for what Mia would say. But to everyone's greatest surprise, she gasped weakly and fainted."She's still as great an actress as ever. The bitch missed her calling, she would have won an oscar if she put in all that energy into entertaining others on screen," he muttered with an eye roll, watching the drama unfolding at the press conference."As you can see, my client has been of a weak health for sometime, making her body give in to her exhaustion. Further investigations and court proceedings will be adjourned to next month. She need a four weeks break to properly check herself and recover enough to fight these false accusations. And to the person setting her up and entrapping her, you will be caught soon," Mia's lawyer threatened on set, while craftily buying time for Mia to settle things through the backdoor.Alex's eyes narrowed, turning into two chips of ice."I hate threats the most. Since you want to find me, I will let you see me," Alex
