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
Alex noticed Aridan scraping something on the floor, making his heart jump in shock. "What are you doing? This house is old and weak, do you want to totally destroy it?" He asked angrily, taking out his frustrations on Aridan."I noticed that this part is hollowed out, so we can make a space under the floor tiles where they can pack the remaining snacks, and eat them whenever they're hungry, instead of waiting till we arrive," Aridan whispered, not looking up.Alex sighed and watched him till he made a hole in the floor to pack the canned food and drinks remaining in the bags they came with.He carefully replaced the tile, returning it to its original state.He also taught the twins how to open and close it, before carefully pushing back the old sofa in place to hide traces of foul play."Ariel, do you still feel sick?" Alex asked, examining his body. "Just a little discomfort here and there," he answered with a smile as Alex began to administer treatment on him.Immediately Alex fi
"Boss, the men we sent to Cheong-do all died except the two in the inner circle who managed to escape with grievous injuries! They're currently in our medical center receiving treatment." Tajana shouted wide eyed, making Alex's heart jump in alarm."How did the situation degrade to this extent?" Alex asked, quickly turning around to go back to the house."They said the two monsters were vicious. Worse, there were terrible formations all around the inner part of the cave where they entered to hunt the monsters. According to them, the maze formations in the cave trapped those with weaker cultivations in a delirious nightmare while driving some crazy. Even the two that made it back are very hurt and mentally destabilized," Tajana whispered, running after Alex who was nearly flying in his haste to get to the medical center.The sounds of two men screaming immediately welcomed them to the medical center, making Alex deeply worried."Donovan, Arthur, what happened?" He asked, walking toward
