The hidden heir of Wayne Ninety-nine: What are you hiding?
"Hey!!!" China exclaimed as she threw her arms Mia."If it isn't my two favorite people in the entire world! Get in here hotshot!" Mia said with a smile on her face.She opened her arms for Ivan to join in to the hug and he did with a gentle smile on his face. "Wow! This place is amazing!" China said as she walked into the living room with her eyes scanning the entire environment."Why thank you." She turned around to the voice of Berlin and her lips curved into a smile. "Hey.""Hi." He smiled back as he went to give her a gentle hug."Um honey, this is my good good friend, Ivan." Mia introduced him to her husband to be."Pleasure meeting you, Ivan." Berlin said as he stretched out his hand to shake him."The pleasure is all mine." Ivan responded, accepting the nice gesture."I think this place will be a great environment to raise children, or don't you think so?" China suggested."Oh it definitely will be but we are not staying here." Mia responded."You're not?" China questioned c
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred: Beauty and the beast
A cool evening breeze swept through Mia's hair as she walked down the road in the bustling city. A week ago to that very day where Ivan was being confronted by China, she had decided to see him about the latest news she just heard."So you know already that Mr Andrews is trying to find you through the cops?" Mia asked as she raised her cup of tea from the table."Of course I do! If anything then I'm surprised that you didn't. Alfred told me about this when we were still at the hospital so I already knew before it was plastered all over the news." Ivan said."Ah..." She took a sip from her tea and returned it to the table. "I guess I was the only one in the dark then." Her lips curved into a smile."Weren't you there? That day Alfred told me, I could have sworn you were there with us, that's why I never mentioned it afterwards cause I thought you knew." A confused look played on Ivan's face as he leaned forward to the table to grab his coffee."It's fine, I wasn't in the dark for too l
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and one: His happiness is destroyed
A sigh escaped Alfred's mouth as he stared at Ivan who laid on the bed with his eyes closed. Even in his sleep, he didn't find peace."Why would she do something as big as that?" Alfred asked Mia as he poured her a cup of coffee from the kitchen."I don't know, she just became a new person all of a sudden... It was actually pretty scary seeing her like that." She explained as she accepted the cup from his hand. "Thank you.""It's actually very strange, isn't it? What do you think that Charlie could have promised her? Could it be money? She is in a financially unstable position after all." Alfred suggested."I don't know if she can be bought with money though. But... Charlie is her childhood friend.""He is?" Alfred's eyes widened as he exclaimed.Mia responded to his question with a nod of her head. "You know I'm getting married soon right?" "Yes, I do. What about it?""My fiancé was having some spiritual problem with his dead wife so I took him to see a shaman. I also took China to
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and two: Happiness
Ivan brushed his fingers through his hair and exhaled. "I don't understand! Why does he think that I am the guy he is looking for? Even though I am, why is he so suspicious of me?" "I was thinking the same thing too so I decided to do some homework. At first, Mr Andrews was just curious to know about your real background, he didn't think for once that you are the missing heir--""So why won't he lay off my case after finding out where I was adopted from?" Ivan cut Alfred off. "You gave me a little homework to do, if you remember about this professor that you called professor Marcus, do you still remember him?" Alfred asked."Yeah I remember, what of it?" Ivan took to folding his arms."While doing some research about him, I found a link between him and Mr Andrews which also made me find out the main reason he is not letting your case go so easily." "What is it then?" "This professor Marcus reported to him about what happened that day, the security guards and all." Alfred explained
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and three: Return of Jacob
They didn't have food to eat three square meals per day, they barely got through a day with one square meal. Education was something they valued more than gold so sending him to school was their number one priority, even though they didn't have money to give him for food.He barely had any other clothes except for his school uniforms and sport wears. One shoe, one socks, one slippers for home. About two white T-shirts and one black trousers. Ever since he was little, he had been a watch freak, he loved the fact that those little bracelet things could tell the time and even do more than telling the time. He found them fascinating. Of course all his parents could afford was a toy watch but at least it could tell the time correctly. But the funny thing was, Ivan was happy. Nothing was going well for them, at times they'd starve, but he was happy.One couldn't say his life was stress free, he suffered a lot as a young kid especially when his parents were diagnosed with cancer. He wa
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and four: The Andrews
Pacing about aimlessly in his living room was Mr Andrews. The day had been gone by far and the night was beginning to grow old. The entire street was asleep, sure there could have been a few people who were still up working on their laptops or just some people watching movies but Mr Andrews only paced about which was unusual, given the time of the night.Almost like he was being controlled to move about in aimless directions, he had but one thought on his mind.'Was a man like Jacob to be trusted at all? He definitely must have placed an eye on me somewhere, watching every single step I make. One billion? This is obviously a scheme by him trying to extort money from me since he claims he has gone broke. But he must know that the Wayne fortune is over a hundred billion, that must be his reason for such a high price--'"Darling?" Mr Andrews was cut short of his thoughts. His neck cringed sideways and his eyes fell on his wife."Are you alright? It seems like something has been playing
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and five: Did he find out?
Mrs Andrews blinked twice. Her lashes fluttered against her skin unbelievably as the words her husband just said caressed her ears.'What? Did I hear him right? He wants to tell me about what happened to him today? When did he ever report to me?' She thought.On second thought, she disregarded all the questions that soared freely in her head as she felt he might just tell her another lie. She sat down thinking, let's just get this over with. "Jacob came around today my work place today--"The mention of the name forced her to cut Mr Andrews off. "--Jacob?" Oh how she despised that name very much.Why was her husband still meeting with the man that scammed him and delivered fake news about there being a missing heir? They had searched effortlessly for over a year, in the suburban parts of England, the rural parts too. They had traveled out of the country as well to find him but all their efforts were fruitless. She knew her husband hadn't given up on the search but hope of the boy
The hidden heir of Wayne One hundred and six: She
A beautiful smile played on Ivan's face as he stared at the paper in his hand. Trevor was worried. From one corner of the room to another, he paced about with fidgeting hands, trying to calm his nerves. Just like Ivan had expected on arriving at his dorm room, the place was a mad house. Piles of dirty laundry placed on top of each other was a mountain on the floor.Packs of snacks and sweets probably eaten from the week before up until that moment decorated the floor. Ivan's bed had not been touched though, it was just as he left it. But Trevor's bed was a mess, crumpled bed sheets decorated with stains of who knows what-- Trevor knows what actually. Of all the mess in the dorm, Ivan's eyes were fixed on one thing. A white envelope sat carefully on his bed and without hesitation, took to opening it. Just like his instincts had told him, inside that envelope was his not so long awaited result. As his eyes scanned the letter, Trevor wouldn't stop asking him questions like; "Is that

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
