Chapter Sixty-Nine – M*rderersBrielle turned to the entrance of her father’s study. Her two boys were looking at their grandfather with disgusted expressions written all over their faces. “Uncle Bethany will beat you. You can’t kill him!” Dorian said bravely. “He’d beat you and Daddy will arrest you!” Brielle had never seen Dorian speak so brazenly. And how did they know Bethany? They’ve never seen him before! How did they know he was their uncle? Lucian scoffed. “So you’re the bad guy Daddy was talking about? I’d go and tell Daddy.” “You bastard kids! Do as you like!” Allen shouted. Lucian pulled his brother, as they ran off. Their mother charged at the old man. “Bastard kids? How dare you call them that?” she held his collar. Master Allen slapped her but she held his collar tightly. “I am used to those! They are now weak, you murderer! So Dominic was right! You tried killing him, didn’t you?” Butler Su quickly pulled Brielle out of the way as Master Allen threw a gl
Chapter Seventy – Crazy MomThe Young Master was quiet. Brielle was with the children? Then did they live the Allens Manson together? It made him curious. “I’d tell my receptionist to show you a room to wait, then meet you guys in an hour. Do wait for me.” He said. “Okay!” The twins chorused. “Butler Su will help us get the gifts too. Thank you, Daddy!” The butler glared at the kids. Why him? But then, who else will go? He sighed, glancing at Lady Brielle. She nodded and slowed to a stop. “We’d be at Thales Company. Don’t need to speak to anyone at home, okay?” The butler nodded, Brielle drove off. The car was quiet but she could hear the anticipation and excitement of her children within the silence. They finally arrived at Thales Company. Jake got down then opened the door for his brothers. The twins scampered into the building. Brielle smiled, seeing Lucian who was usually calm being so agile. He was still a kid anyway. The receptionist left her desk as they walk
Chapter Seventy-One – Selfish The energy within the company died down by afternoon. Dominic slumped down on his chair. It wasn’t even the end of the week yet he felt so exhausted. The lawyer was still perusing though mounds of paperwork, while Lucas was asleep on her laps. Dominic smiled, his little nephew must feel safe around her now. It was time to see his family as promised. “Um, Selene, I’d leave the rest to you for now. You should stop soon too.” She looked up, then down again at the papers. “No worries, you can have a break. I’d handle it till then.” Dominic wondered why she sounded like his boss giving him some time out? She was impossible. He carried Lucas off her and towards the room where his family where. On opening the door, he saw half of them asleep, except Suzy, Jake, and a young man he recognized as Butler Su. “Oh, would you look at that! Lucas actually looks adorable when he sleeps.” Suzy teased, it made Jake give her the sides eye. The twins were resti
Chapter Seventy-Two – Jealous Woman Dominic watched the Butler from the corner of his eyes. He had accidentally slipped that he knew the owner of the wristwatch, still the man shouldn’t be interested. “Lucian, I’d be leaving now. Maybe when you’re all awake, you can come to my office so we’d talk.” He told the boy, who pouted. The butler made no reaction as he walked away, Dominic sighed. He wasn’t very comfortable with this third party that could be awfully loyal to Mr. Allen but he couldn’t send him away. Outside the room, he found Jamie walking to the room. The young man stopped stared at the young master intently, “Did you know your wife was coming?” “She sudden called, saying she left her family, with the kids. From what Lucian said, she overhead Allen speaking of killing Bethany.” Dominic said. “Oh.” Jamie rolled his eyes. “She just realized that her father was unto her older brother now? Is she that dense?” It made Dominic wonder.Truly, Brielle’s talks with him
Chapter Seventy-Three – Live Brielle finally pulled her eyes from Dominic’s and sat besides Jake, “Sorry about that. Case Closed is a difficult person.” She noticed Suzy was still in there and frowned. The girl left before she would be told to. “So, you all will be living with me from now onwards?” “Yes!” the twins chorused. Brielle hesitated. She didn’t plan to live with him, because she knew he wouldn’t want her, only the kids. And she didn’t want to be away from her kids. But she couldn’t deny her kids the pleasure of living with their father after many years, so she stayed quiet. “You are coming too, right?” Brielle looked up. Did he mean her? “Um… no, you don’t need to…” What was she saying? She kept her eyes on his that were also on her. What was he thinking? Did he only ask her for formality? Or he really wouldn’t mind if she stayed around? “Aww, mommy! Come and stay with us.” Dorian wailed, pulling at her dress. “Let’s stay together as one family!” Briel
Chapter Seventy-Four – The Lady Dominic slowed down as he got to a stop. They were at the airport. And he had a full car of cackling children. His best friend stepped down, and posed in front of the car, making the kids cheer. Dominic rolled his eyes. “Hurry up or you’d miss your flight, dumbass!” Silas has been intent on leaving for India for a mysterious lady. Dominic tried keeping him close while delaying the details of the receptionist he wanted but it wasn’t enough. It got to the point Dominic suspected that something else was going on. Why did his friend so intently want to leave to India? The same India that Mrs. Jones left to? Could there be something drawing him there? Though, he wasn’t aware Mrs. Jones left to India before he became intent of leaving. So Dominic could only be patient and wait for whatever surprise he’d return with. Silas finally left with his light baggage, it made Dominic confirm that since he was travelling light, he’d be back soon. He had no
Chapter Seventy-Five – Attempted Dominic drove the twins to the company, it was a holiday and the third day since they began living with him. Jake and Lucas were enrolled in a swimming class but the twins weren’t interested. Dominic hurried into his office for the last meeting for the day. There were sending fifty more cars into the transport services. It’s been blooming and that meant they needed more drivers. Which also meant more payroll. “Lucian, you and your brother should play in the room. You don’t need to come to daddy’s office okay?” he said as he was about walking in. Timely, he noticed Dorian about to follow him inside so he walked out back. “Dorian, you agreed with daddy. Okay?” The boy pouted looking down. “What if I get hungry?” Dominic looked to the heaven. This one had eaten a plate for three before they left the house. Still, Brielle promised to drop by with more food if he needed. “I’m sure you won’t.” Dominic forced a smile. “Your stomach is strong
Chapter Seventy-Six – Scold Brielle arrived with a meal for her sons and ex-husband when she was called upon. She found Dorian asleep on Dominic, who was staring into space in thought. When she walked into the room, she noticed Selene and Lucian reading something from her laptop. Brielle frowned. Why was she with Dominic and her sons? They looked like one happy family doing normal things. She cleared her throat loudly, but it wasn’t enough to break anyone’s focus on what they were doing. She sat besides Dominic looking sober. “I brought the food. Are you feeling okay?”Dominic glanced at her then smiled. It made Brielle’s cheeks flush. She place the lunchbox on the table. “We are tracking the murderer of Lucas’ parents.” Dominic replied. “Miss. Case Closed has been helping.” Brielle’s hands flew to her mouth. Lucas’ parents had been killer? It wasn’t just a normal car accident. She stared at the lawyer. Could it be what she was doing while acting like she worked here?
