The car was silent as they drove down the road of the bust street. Williams had chosen quite an amount of toys that he could play with in weeks but Ivan had purchased every single one for him just to satisfy him. His new toy car was placed carefully in the trunk of the car for safe keeping along with some other big toys. He was singing and laughing with his grandparents in the back seat while Ivan drove down the road. The problem Alfred had mentioned kept calling his mind as hard as he tried not to think about it. Vienna noticed this and did her best to keep the others from noticing that their son kept zoning out especially while he was driving. They arrived at a general park for kids and they all sat themselves and watched as William played around freely on the playground. Eventually, he called for his grandfather's attention and his grand mother's too and Vienna and Ivan were left alone with themselves again. She sat next to him and took his hand in hers before interlocking th
Ivan heaved a sigh as his eyes looked around the place. So finally, he was the ruling king over all of the Wayne family and the city! He strode into the building with Alfred following up behind him and he didn't even spare Mr Andrews as much as a glance as he walked in. Mr Andrews was now fidgeting where he stood, nobody had seen the face of the missing son but his arrival had been announced. He had never expected to find out that it would be the boy he had so close to him then, the boy that knew of all of his plans to get rid of the missing son before he came into light. Beads of sweat formed on his head as his eyes wearily looked front and back with his head still bowed down. His hand fidgeted at his sides but he still tried to remain calm and composed until he was to raise his head again. They all filed in after Ivan as he walked and several flashes of cameras captured his appearance. Reporters from different news channels had come around to be the first to carry the news of
His eyes fell shut for a second as he tried to compose himself. The question about her should never be something to make him falter in front of so many judging eyes. "Yes. I was married once." He said calmly. "After I graduated from college, I got married at once! It was one of my beautiful and happy moments to think back on. But two years into the marriage, she suddenly turned her back on me and left me shattered. "Then the new love of my life happened to be there for me to comfort me and bring me back up. I felt like I could try again and when she accepted to be with me, it made my life worth meaning. The only woman I love now and I will love forever, is Janet Banks, the one who stood by me." Ivan said with a smile on his face. His heartwarming speech melted the hearts of thousands who watched him on the TV and the reporters who were lucky enough to be there with him in person. "Ms. Banks-- oh sorry, Mrs Wayne, please can you join your husband on the stage?" One of the reporters
Five years back into the life of Mr Andrews. He knew everything was starting to fall apart for him when he found out that his wife was planning to run away and worse, she was carrying his second child!He perceived her as crazy to even try to have a child. He still had to ask, was she mad? How stupid of her! At such an age, she still wanted to start over with a newborn and he couldn't quite wrap his head around the fact properly. So as he got home that night, he made to confront her and if she said the slightest thing to get on his nerves, he would make sure she lost her baby that night. He slammed the door angrily and his wife flinched at his outburst. "What happened? Why do you look so angry?" She asked worriedly as she made it to her feet in an instant out of fear. She closed her palms into a ball form as they fidgeted from all the anxiety that rushed through her body. Swallowing hard, she tried to remain calm as he glared at her with a fiery stare. If looks could kill, then
Tears flowed down her red face as she was about to take her last breath. She felt the hold around her neck suddenly loosen and her breaths were becoming a little more steady. She let out coughs as he finally released his hold around her neck and she groaned heavily. Mr Andrews staggered behind as tears welled up in his eyes. He watched his wife collapse to the ground while straining and trying to breathe. He wanted to kill her, to end her and save himself from the shame of having such bad news spread around the city and ruining his image. But he couldn't kill her, not because of his feelings for her or anything, heck he barely even loved her, but because of the baby inside of her. He couldn't do such a thing, at least not to his own. The first time it ever happened, he regretted it for so many months and wished he hadn't laid his hand on her that day.But one thing about a person like him was that his conscience never judged him for too long for every bad thing he did so he easi
Ivan relaxed into his seat as he heard the words that left Mr Andrews' mouth. Was the man trying to mess with him? Or was he trying to pretend like he didn't remember who he was?"You don't say…" Ivan said to him in a relaxed tone. "Well, anyway, I have you to thank for being where I am today, if you hadn't pushed me and tried to kill me so many times then I wouldn't have gotten the confidence to come out." His tone was ever so casual.Mr Andrews swallowed hard while trying to force a smile to his face. He wouldn't falter, he told himself, he had to remain composed. He let out a soft nervous chuckle. "I didn't… I didn't want to kill you actually, I just wanted to come to a negotiation." "I know. You want to reap where you didn't sow like you have been doing for a very long time but I just couldn't let it happen with me you know? I'm different." Ivan said with a smile. Mr Andrews gave him a smile. His last attempt to kill Ivan truly was what made Ivan come out, he was sure. He had
The deafening sound of the bullet caught Mr Andrews ear and a dramatically long scream left his mouth. He was left shivering to the core as he stood there and liquid began to stain his pants. Ivan arched his brow at the embarrassing scene and his lips only curved into a smile. The man had peed himself from the fear of being killed and both Ivan and Alfred found it exceptionally funny. So Mr Andrews could be afraid of something?His eye lids were closed shut as his face scrunched into an ugly expression with fear written all over it. As he opened his eyes, with his lips trembling from fear, he turned and noticed a slight smoke coming from his clothes.He looked over to his shoulder and noticed that the bullet had only grazed the shoulder of his suit and he immediately fell to his knees with tears trailing down his face. "Don't think I missed by accident, I have never missed a target." Ivan said in a cold and icy tone. "I'll do as you wish! I swear it! I'll do anything you want me
"Get over here Ivan!" His wife ushered him over while still hugging her brother. It was only then that Ivan realized he had frozen along the way and he managed to bring his feet to move the moment his senses returned. He walked over towards them while pulling their bags along with him. Mr Banks ushered some men towards Ivan and he felt scared at first when about three of them walked towards him but relief took over when they carried the bags he was pulling with him.As he got to their front, he gave Janet's parents a bow. "Good evening Mr and Mrs Banks, it is an honor to meet you-- again! An honor to meet you again I mean." He managed to correct himself. He didn't know why he was scared the way he was, after all, they were just normal people. But he still couldn't stop sweating even though the weather was awfully cold. Mrs Banks' hand fell on his shoulders and he flinched. "Poor thing, look at the way you're shivering. Didn't you know that it would be his cold here?" She asked as
