The hidden heir of Wayne Eighty-nine; Two butterflies
The house was silent...Mia had spent the whole day packing up a few of her things with the help of China while Berlin waited patiently in the living room.The day had gone by rather quickly than they had imagined it to and the sun was starting to set. Normally, it wouldn't take a person that long to pack up just a few clothes and personal things but Mia had purposely been stalling.Her conscience ate at her from the inside like a wild vicious beast that had been left to starve for a very long time, only to meet with a helpless prey at its weakest and most desperate time. She didn't want to leave but also, she wanted to. Why did Berlin have to be so impatient about appeasing his dead wife? She wasn't in a hurry to settle down anyway so why the rush?"I know what you are thinking and don't you even dare! You have kept him waiting all morning." China said.She was sitting next to Mia's trunk that was placed on the bed. It was the only thing in the middle of them, keeping them only a f
The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety: Friend or foe?
"What a beautiful way to spend the evening!"A wide smile plastered on Trevor's face as he stared up at the starry evening sky.Even though it wasn't that dark yet, the sky had already been decorated with twinkling stars. "Don't make it weird. If the people around read the expression on your face then they might just think that we are on a date." Ivan said.He tucked his hands into the pocket of his jacket as he walked a few steps behind Trevor. His brown hair was covered under a beanie with a few strands sticking out.Trevor's smile grew even wider, revealing his perfectly white set of teeth. "I'm just so excited to be doing something more than staring at books and teachers all day.""Lecturers.""Eh whatever, they do the same thing after all." He said with a smile. It was almost like he had the best British accent in all of England. With the way his words came out in a constructively beautiful manner, even Ivan found it pleasing. There was a way he smiled that got the ladies atte
The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety-one: You've got a friend in me
The words that came out of Trevor's mouth caused Ivan to shiver, or maybe it was the sudden gush of cold wind that blew by but Ivan didn't know, he was too confused. "Wait, I don't get it so like, you are related to that... That..." Ivan fought the urge to call Charlie a terrible name in front of his family."Monster? Yeah, we are related." Trevor said with a sigh. Ivan didn't know how to react, his brain was confused, so he just laughed. "But I can assure you that it is not what you are thinking--"Ivan pointed a finger at him while staring for a few seconds. "You know... I should have known, I should have been able to tell from the good looks." Trevor smiled. "Do you know why you couldn't tell? Because I am way better looking than Charlie." "This isn't funny dude, so all these while, all these questions, you were sent to spy on me? Is that why you became my roommate in the first place?" Ivan's eyes squinted as he stared at Trevor. "No, this is why I said it is not what you ar
The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety-two: Face slap!
The night sky grew even darker over China and Charlie. The twinkling stars were being buried by dark rainy clouds but neither of them had noticed the sudden change in the weather. "Ivan... He has done nothing wrong to you and we both know that... But... I won't stand in your way like this, I won't stand in the way of whatever it is you want to do to Ivan." China said while staring straight into Charlie's eyes."Really?" His eyes glimmered. "I am your China and your China won't stand in your way ever. She won't dare to even do it as long as you are still her Charlie." "Of course! Of course I am! It's still me!" A big smile played on his face. "I have to be the one to decide that. I want to hang out with you always, like we always wanted to but didn't get the chance to." She stated."Oh me too! I want to be with you forever!" Charlie exclaimed excitedly.Her lips curved into a weak smile. "Me too, just like the old days." Charlie couldn't hold himself from smiling. A sincere smile
The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety-three: The power of Ivan
"Ivan Shay! Welcome, take your seat. You have exactly thirty seven minutes to your exam, the game changer to decide your fate in our prestigious school." An old looking man stated.The man was bald and had wrinkles on his face. His lips had a crooked smile and his blue bulging eyes almost looked like one was bigger than the other. One could tell immediately that he was over fifty. He was one of those greedy old men who would find a good source of income and never want to leave for others to benefit from it even after they had made enough and some extra."Ivan, you probably don't know him but this is Mr Marcus--""--professor Marcus!" The old man lashed out with a stern expression."Right, professor Marcus. Professor Marcus has been a great image for knowledge for over three decades! He has become the word education himself!" The dean explained."Why do you keep getting my information wrong?" The man sneered."Uh? What?" The Dean asked confusedly."Not over three decades you fool! Fou
The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety-four: A trusted ally
The sound of her heels as they met with the ground echoed as she walked down the marble road. There were a lot of cars and bikes and all sorts of buses, school buses, regular buses, traveling buses, all different sorts of vehicles occupied the road, keeping it busy twenty four seven.Mia kept to the pedestrian lane as she majestically swayed her hips down the road.Her footsteps came to an abrupt stop as her phone began vibrating in her leather jacket pocket. Taking out the phone, she raised it to her face and a smile crept on her face as she answered the call. "Don't be so impatient Berlin, I'm on my way." "Is it wrong for me to call and check in on you? I just want to know how far you've gotten." Berlin responded over the phone. Her smile widened. "Alright alright. I'm just a few steps away from the café, I'll be in there in just a few seconds." She assured as she resumed in her steps."Alright, also the man we are here to meet is in a hurry so that's why I'm rushing you." The
The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety-Five: A baby brother
Unlike Mia, Berlin resided in an estate and in that estate, there were only ten mansions. The place was given to him from his late wife's will since that was where they lived as a married couple.Berlin didn't quite make friends with anyone from the estate and he didn't need to because they all minded their business and only gathered when there was a meeting."Wow, this place is really amazing. I can't help but look around every single time I step in here." Mia said with a pleased smile on her face."I guess nothing phases me anymore because I've lived here over a decade." Berlin responded."Yeah it couldn't. Hey, the library is open today, do you think I could check it out?" She asked with inquiry burning all over her face."No, even though the library is meant for the estate dwellers, the top three richest families have taken control over the place and if you don't belong to their caucus then you might as well forget ever stepping foot there."A frown sat on her face. "That's so not
The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety-six: Monster Andrews
The evening sky darkened over China as she strolled back home. It wasn't something she enjoyed doing anymore since she was always returning to a lonely building. A dreadful sigh escaped her mouth. "Oh I know!" Her face lit up ecstatically like a light bulb suddenly turned on.She dipped her hand into the pocket of her jeans and fetched out her phone. Dialing a number, she placed it on her ear and waited for who she was calling to answer. "Oh hey!" Her face lit up. "What's up? Where are you?" She asked. "Do you think you can make time for me tonight? I know it's late but I--" the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. "Oh... I didn't... It's cool, talk to you later."She hung up with a sigh and returned the phone to her pocket. As she took a step forward, she felt a sudden vibration against her body from her back pocket and she immediately took out her phone with the hope that he changed his mind. Instead, it was an unknown caller and she stared confusedly at the number for a seco

Two hundred and ten: Happily ever after
The man explained how his mother told them their deaths had been decided by the Andrews. When Ivan's real father found out about this, he told his wife to stay away on the day of his accident and protect his child while he remained in the car with a maid who agreed to sacrifice herself for the safety of her boss. They didn't want to drag anyone down with them but the woman insisted. So their enemies would be convinced and Ivan would be safe. “I can't believe this…” Ivan muttered to himself. Even Alfred was a little shaken by the story. He didn't know why they didn't include him in the plan, maybe because they knew he would never let them go ahead with it. He held back the urge to cry. Ivan felt like he was broken to pieces. “My mother…” he said softly and all eyes fell on him. “Where is she now? Do you know where she is?” His father seemed hesitant but nodded his head. “She attended your step mother's funeral to show her last respect. She came around sometimes just to check on yo

Two hundred and nine: His mother's location
Mr Shay felt grateful as his plane finally landed. He was never a man who enjoyed flights, he preferred to travel by road for a trip or even by water which he extremely detested. But he would be more than happy to travel by water than to ever step foot in a plane. Without wasting time, he hurried out of the plane with the maids assigned to him. They all helped him with his bags and loads as they walked into the airport. He noticed his son standing not too far from him, waiting for his arrival. He had not expected his son to be around for his arrival since Ivan said he had a white collar job. But he was very pleased to see him after his long trip. His lips spread into a wide smile as he walked towards his son. “Ivan, my dear boy!” He called out to him. Several men moved closer to Ivan at once in a defensive way and Mr Shay froze in his steps. Why was his son being guarded like some national treasure?“It's okay, he's my dad.” Ivan said to them and they backed away with each of th

Two hundred and eight: The airport
Ivan dressed up and went down for breakfast. On arriving at the dining table, LD was dressed up all nice and cutely and she wore a big smile on her face.She was dressed in a cute pink dress and her Goldie locks hair was made into two ponytails. Of all the beautiful accessories on her, her smile was the most beautiful. She was so beautiful that Ivan couldn't help the smile that worked up his face. “Well look at my beautiful girl,” he said as he picked her up from the ground and gave her a twirl.Her happy giggles filled the room and magically lifted the spirits of everyone sitting at the table. Truly, nothing could make a person more happy than a child's laughter. He placed her back on the floor and kissed her head. “You look amazing.”“Mommy says she wants me to look beautiful when my new baby brother or sister comes home. Can I have a baby brother?” LD asked with a bright smile on her face. The smile on Ivan's face disappeared in almost an instant. He flashed a smile at his daug

Two hundred and seven: Morning breakdown
The sun rose in the blue sky and spread its ray down on Ivan's face. Anticipation had kept him awake all night long, all he could do was think about his dad and his return that day. When his dad returned, he would really get answers about everything he wanted to know. Well hopefully that was. Would his dad really remember much? It had been decades ago, would his memory still be intact? That much worried him and kept him awake all night. His mother was gone and sadly before he could ask or even tell her anything. Not even a final goodbye. The memories of his mother lying lifelessly in her bed was to hunt him for a very long time. He never even knew when she was already falling sick, she seemed so healthy that he didn't even believe it at first when he found her in her bed. Oddly strange of her to ask a married man to pass the night at his mother's, that was what he believed but he went anyway. Those were the moments he would cherish forever. No wonder she hugged him so much that

Two hundred and six: Early flight back
They all went inside and sat at the dining table. The maids surrounded them and began serving slices of pies. LD climbed down from her seat that was next to her grandmother. “Daddy!” She wailed as she hurried to Ivan. Ivan immediately caught her in his arms and lifted her into his lap. “What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?” She nodded her head but said nothing. They all watched her in fear. Neither of them understood what was wrong with her to make her almost tear up and worry and anxiety swallowed them up as they waited for her to confess to her father. “Go ahead Darling, you can tell me anything.” Ivan said in a soft tone. Janet was already on her feet and she hurried to the other side of Ivan's chair where she could meet with LD's gaze. Placing her hand on her husband's thighs, she crouched down next to him. LD still remained silent in her father's lap with her arms wrapped around his neck.“Here, come on, whisper it in my ear.” Ivan leaned in closer to her with h

Two hundred and five: Her Majesty
The car pulled up at the front space of the mansion and their driver hurried down to open the door for them. Three smiling faces stood close to a fountain, standing impatiently for Ivan and his wife to arrive. The driver opened the door but no one got out. Alfred wondered what was keeping them but he declined when Mrs Banks said to go to them instead. He decided they would just wait for them to join them. “We'll be a minute.” Ivan said to his driver and the handsome young man nodded his head and gently slammed the door back. “Is there… is there a problem?” Mrs Banks asked again but Alfred's decision to wait behind still stood. “They'll come out eventually, let's just wait and see what is going on first.” Alfred responded in a respectful manner and Mrs Banks nodded her head. Mr Banks didn't bother to protest or even utter a word. He knew that if he were to speak, he would have to break his perfect smile and he worried he would not be able to get a smile as perfect as that again.

Two hundred and four: His own happy ending plan
Heather stood there, stunned, just as every other woman standing in the room. She was sure she had never heard London laugh before. She hadn't even seen the girl smile ever since she was brought to the shelter. Janet hadn't expected less though. Living with Ivan for over five years, she knew the kind of soul he was and she trusted that whatever he put his mind to, he was sure to achieve it. She couldn't have been more proud of him. Ivan carried little London back to his wife and Heather. “London, say hello to your new mom.” Janet smiled and waved at her. “Hello, my name is Janet.” “Hi, I can call you mom, right? Or do you want me to call you Janet?” London sharply responded with a smile. Janet chuckled softly. “You're such a smart little girl. You can call me mom,” she reached forward and gently smoothened London's Goldie locks hair. “I'd like that.” London smiled and nodded her head. “Will you carry me in your arms?” Janet opened her arms wide for her. “Come here.”London unw

Two hundred and three: London
Ivan managed to wear a smile on his face even though his heart was shattered to pieces. “Hello there, my name is Ivan.” He said with the brightest smile he could summon. “Do you want to tell me your name?”She silently stared at him, although it seemed as though she wasn't as scared as before. Yet she didn't utter a single word and neither did her gaze leave Ivan. “You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I don't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Although I would really like to know your name. I bet it must be as pretty as your eyes.” Ivan spoke softly. Even though he already knew what her name was, he was hoping to hear her say it to him. “London…” the scared little girl responded softly, almost as soft as a whisper. Ivan smiled brightly from his heart now, a smile that reached his eyes. “I knew it, I knew it would be something pretty. Do you remember my name, London?” She nodded her head, her knees folded in front of her to rest on her chest. “Do you want t

Two hundred and two: At the orphanage
Breakfast was served the next morning and as Ivan had mentioned, they had small talks about the best choice of orphanage to go to and the list had been summed up to the best three. “Okay,” Alfred started. “So we are down to smile orphanage, bright sun and victorious home. And the decision is down to you, young master Wayne. Which one would you like to go to today?” Ivan relaxed into his seat and let himself think for a minute before answering. “I got it!” All eyes fell on him as he exclaimed. “Today, well go to bright sun orphanage,”“Excellent choice young master Way–”“I'm not finished.” Ivan cut Alfred off. “Today, we'll go to bright sun orphanage, tomorrow, we'll go to smile and the day after, we'll go to victorious home.” Alfred was thrown into a pit of confusion. “You… you want to visit all three places?” His brow arched subconsciously as he questioned. “Why not? Jane wants to adopt three kids after all, nothing limits us to adopting from one place or is there a rule or some
