Chapter Sixty-Six – JealousDominic could barely finish his meal before he received another call, from Silas, telling him to pick up he and Lucas from the movies. He slowed down as he got in front of the cinema. Casimir looked engrossed in his phone. “Uncle Casimir!!” The phone nearly flew out of Casimir’s hand in fright. He tried to frown at the boy but seeing the hearty smile on his face, he couldn’t bring himself to. Was it this little boy that his mother had to hurt like that? He looked away, feeling intense guilt. “Hey, you’re back to shape already.” Dominic smiled as Lucas entered the car. “What did you watch?” “I saw this scary movie, like all the adults were really scared but… it didn’t move me.” Lucas shrugged proudly. Silas entered the car, holding a big cup of popcorn. “It mightn’t move you but you were really stuffing your mouth with food there. Chewing hardly might be how you drown the fear…” he trailed off when he saw Casimir. “Oh, who are you?” he lean
Chapter Sixty-Seven – Tune in “Okay, I think I have something. Something that wouldn’t just make me viral. It would make the Allens viral too.” Dominic said as his mind went to the item in his house. The Allens? Casimir and Silas stared at him. What was going on in that head of his? Taking his matter with the Allens to public radio was going to backfire. “Don’t give me the worried look. It’s a good plan.” Dominic tsked. He narrated how he acquired an expensive golden watch from Mr. Allen on the day he found him stranded. Silas immediately covered Lucas ears. “How can you be celebrating stealing something expensive from someone in front of your little nephew?” “Well, Mr. Allen gave it to him without knowing who he was, so you can’t really call it stealing.” Casimir stated. “So what do you want go do with the item?” Silas listened attentively, still covering Lucas’ ears. “You can advertise me and my business then showcase the golden watch. Report that it belonged to an o
Chapter Sixty-Eight – At Borok? The weather was really hot. Brielle took off her jacket suit, revealing only a tight singlet, clinging to her breasts, she went back to her work. The butler, serving her tea, gulped down saliva on looking at her, but kept on his work. He spoke when he was done. “Lady Brielle, if you want anything else, do tell me.” She looked up. “Ah, butler Su. You’re still here.” She took her jacket to cover her chest. She had been absentminded when she took off the jacket, not realizing he was there. The butler hid his blushed face. “Yes, if you need anything, just call for me and I’d be here immediately.” Brielle smiled at him. “Sure.” She noticed a small mark on his face that wasn’t there previously. She usually didn’t notice things on his body but she also knew the butler was very careful not to get scars on his body as he claimed unmarried men should look beautiful. “Erm… Butler Su? There’s something on your face, I couldn’t help but notice…” “Is
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
