The third POV
“On your knees, now!” Was Reina’s firm order as both kids plopped to the ground.
“Hands up!” She boomed. No smile was found on her face.
They obeyed hastily.
“You would remain that way for an hour for disobeying my orders,” She declared.
“But mom -” Ailee whined.
“Don’t mom me! ” Reina warned.
“This is your fault,” Ailee blamed Allen.
“Who came up with the idea in the first place,” Allen mocked.
“Who claims to be so smart yet can’t plan a simple escape successfully,” she taunted back at him.
“At least I’d planned, all you do is sit around and enjoy the effectiveness,” He argued.
“Oh really?” Ailee snorted as both began to bicker back and front.
“I gave you both a punishment to reflect on your mistake not disturb my peace of mind,” Reina shouted, breaking both up.
“You?” She pointed to Ailee, “The suggester. You were the one who planted the idea in your brother’s head, isn’t it?”
“Well, I tried to talk to Allen but he wouldn’t listen to me until I mentioned that – hinted maybe?” Ailee confessed.
She should have known Ailee speaking to Allen on a diplomatic level was a bad idea.
“And you,” Reina faced Allen, “Master planner, how did you pull it off?” the sarcasm dripping from her voice was obvious.
Allen didn’t say a word; He was down on his knees, hands raised and lips pressed together firmly.
“Don’t make me force the words out of your mouth,” she threatened in a low voice.
“Fine,” his resolve broke, “I found a guy on the internet and paid him to pretend he’s our guardian so we could get on the plane and the rest is history,” was Allen’s confession.
Reina was shell-shocked by this revelation, “Did you know how much risk you took coming here? You employed some dude from the internet – you don’t even know the person upon knowing the kind of family you’re into! ” Reina admonished them and yes, they knew they were from a crime family. The kids were smart, it was not hard to figure that out with time plus the circumstance surrounding them.
“I’m your mother,” she pointed to her chest,” I know and would do what’s best for you, which is why I left you back there to protect you – which you obviously don’t appreciate,” she was disappointed in their recklessness.
“Yeah, maybe we can start appreciating it if you start telling us about our father,” Allen demanded suddenly.
Reina sighed, “Not again, Allen,”
“If you’re not enthusiastic to see him, I want to, no, I need to,”
“I told you I’ll tell you everything when the time comes,” She reminded them.
“That’s what you’ve been telling us since the very beginning,” He complained while Ailee remained mum, enjoying the drama.
“Allen, I promise this time you’re going to see him soon. And if you miss him so much, just look in the mirror, you’d see him in you,” Reina coerced him.
“Yeah, that tactic worked when we were five, now I’m seven – incase you haven’t noticed,” He stood to his feet.
“What are you doing?” Reina’s brows raised at his action.
“I don’t need to listen to you,” He grumbled, dusting invisible dust on his trousers.
“Allen!” Reina hollered.
“Try again later,” He said, striding away from the room.
“Come back here, Allen!” She stomped her feet in anger yet the little boy went his way without even looking back.
That disrespectful pain in the ass!
“Mom” Ailee drew her attention.
She gave her the attention.
“Allen’s gone. Technically, doesn’t it mean I can go free now?” She inquired, hopefully.
Reina rubbed her temple, raising these kids was not an easy job. They were so stubborn and never even listened to her – where did they pick that attitude from?
“Fine, go away,” she dismissed her daughter who gleefully sprinted away.
“That went well,” Valentino made his presence known just after his granddaughter skidded away.
“They never listen to me,” She poured herself a drink, bringing the glass to her lips and taking a sip.
“Do you ever listen to me?” He asked her, his gaze holding hers.
“Well, maybe you do have a point,” She took off her gaze, admitting defeat.
“I heard the kids made a scene and Allen got discovered,” Valentino said.
“The men had it cleaned up and yes, Allen made a scene – I won the fight by the won,” A small smile played at the corner of her lip.
“That woman you fought with, I heard she’s with Niles. Wouldn’t she burst the news to him?” He was concerned about the news of her having children getting out.
“No, she wouldn’t,” Reina answered, swirling the drink in her grasp.
“How can you be so sure?” Sakuzi asked, going to sit on her sofa. He was not getting any younger – damn, his waist.
“Call it women intuition or something. Jennifer has been with Niles for years and must have heard of me being pregnant for him before I died…” she stopped to take another sip, ” Year’s later, a woman who looks like Maria with a child identical to Niles appears out of nowhere, even the dumbest person on earth would figure that out as well. Jennifer’s hopelessly in love with Niles, she wouldn’t dare to tell him what she saw and would do everything to keep it a secret else it’s game over for her,”
Sakuzi was impressed, he nodded his head. She thought everything over.
“Though, I have something to ask you, father, ” She dropped the glass on the desk she was leaning against, her expression serious.
Sakuzi prepared himself as well, his daughter had an important issue to discuss with him judging from her taut facial expression.
“What is it, Princess? ” he asked.
“What do you intend to do with Niles,” She went straight to the point, “You’re not planning on killing him, are you?” One could sense the anxiety in her voice “What do you think?” questioned the less tensed Sakuzi.
“You can’t! As much as he committed a crime against you, he’s still the father of my kids – he can’t die,” she insisted.
“He’d suffer for what he did, not die,” Sakuzi informed her.
“That’s better,” Reina was relieved. As much as she hated Niles, she does not wish for him to die.
“Also, there’s another thing, “
