The next day i was being woken up to Lumine and Chris jumping on my bed waking me up , i pulled the blanket over my head and to my surprise they quickly climbed under my blanket and joined me underneath showering me with kisses and tickles i could not help myself but to laugh and tickle them back under the covers .
"Good morning Mommy! " both exclaimed and cuddled close to me one side each
"Good morning kiddo's "
I removed the Blanket and chased them to the showers and told them to get ready for school while i headed to the showers myself , when i was done i headed down to the dining hall to see congee and pancakes for breakfast great , Mdm tan is trying to make me fat again
"Good morning Lady Stella " Mdm Tan sang while putting down the condiments
"Good morning Mdm Tan , have the kids bento boxes been prepared? "
"Yes they are in their school bags all ready to go ." she said and bowed slightly to me
I nodded my head and started reading today's papers waiting for everyone else to come join me at the dining table . Dad came in together with the kids and sat on my left side then Baji came in and sat on the first chair on my left followed by Draken and so on and so forth . . . When everyone arrived we started eating. Of course I don't really like sweet things anymore so I opted for the Congee breakfast with a hot cup of coffee . Baji then handed me a plate with 1 pancake with butter and a little bit of maple syrup on top and smiled when handed it over to me
"Thanks love "
Baji didn't reply but the sound of utensils started dropping on to the plates and jaws dropping , eye's are opening wide
"Did i hear wrongly? Or have I gone Deaf? " Dad said and wiped his mouth with the cloth
"Boss , what is going on ?" Draken asked,
"Oh from now on , Baji's my boyfriend and im his " i said and continued slurping on my congee
"YOU GUYS ARE WHAT?!" Everyone screamed
Baji's face gotten red but still wanting to act tough and all , i let out a small chuckle and smiled
"Now now settle down, no point making a big fuss of it. Now eat up your breakfast and we got work to do "
Everyone quickly ate up their breakfast , I kissed the kids goodbye since my dad is the one sending them to school everyday and I headed straight to work with everyone else .
The 6 of us went to the office and just dazed there as the sky turned into a dark grey colour and started pouring rain , i stood by the window to see people running seeking shelter i let out a sigh and sat down on the chair again looking at the reports seems normal today and any other day i assume …
Draken and Charlie were behind me while Baji Rin and Shane were by the door and by the shelf looking for books. Suddenly a loud Bang came through the door. I quickly stood up to see it was Janice .
"I Demand to know why Your staff wouldn't let me in straight away!" Janice exclaimed and panted
"Sorry mam! We tried to stop her !" Security guard said while trying to pull Janice away
"Stop stop, This is Janice my friend and Aunt to my kids remember her face , if you see her just let her in don't cause a scene"
"Yes boss!" The security guards let go of Janice and walked away , while Charlie closed the door and Draken handed me a towel from the drawers and passed it over to Janice to let her dry herself .
"Geezus girl i didn't know your security is that tight what a work out" Janice said and dried her hair
"Girl you could have called first before coming over . You always knew my business has tight security and still top of the world " i laughed a little before handing her a cup of coffee
"I know i should have called but i was in the area and wanted to drop by " She said and took a sip out of the cup of coffee
"Anyways , what brings you here all of a sudden barging into my company like that sending my security guards on a wild goose chase hmm?"
"Oh nothing is just i have been busy at work and i miss the kids " She winned
"Seriously , i don't buy it"
"Okay okay , I'm ENGAGED! " She screamed "HOLLY FUCK ! TO WHOM?"
"I do not know too i just wanna say that " She said and pushed my body back down on the sofa
"I hate you seriously, but honestly what's up with you ?"
"Nah i just miss you since i have been so busy with work i got no time to spend with the kids say , isn't the March holidays coming soon ? " She said
"It's like 3 weeks from now are you crazy? "
"Let's go to Italy !" Janice suggested and started looking at all the places
"The kids have been to Italy my dear… "
" hmmm aren't you going to bring them on holiday? " Janice questioned
"Well i was but i don't know where i could bring them too besides the kids are a real handful these days" Sigh…
"This is why Fun aunt Janice is here! Let's go to Asia okay! Leave everything to me , just bring the kids ." She exclaimed and not letting me say another word and i just told Draken to prepare 1 full week of travel abroad in March
Draken took note and then Janice and I chatted for the next few hours and even had lunch together and after that she said she had to return to the office and since it was just nearby I just walked her there and then went back to my office building and stared into a blank space again …
"Draken, I'm bored . . . "
"Boss you still have a whole stack of papers that you need to look at " Draken pointed it out and it's on my coffee table . . .
I stuck out my tongue and planted my face on the table .
Door slams open again!
This time it was my staff from the Marketing team . Mike
"Boss! , he's here! ( Huffs and puffs ) " Mike was panting like mad
I lifted up my face and looked at him with my head tilted slightly and my eyes widened to the max and realised who he was talking about .
"Guys Code Yellow"
Baji , Draken , Shane Stood by the door outside while the rest stayed with me .
Draken then used his walkie to tell us who it was and why am i not surprise its Ethan . . . the blinds in my office was close i do not know if he knew i was in the office but how did he just came up to my office like that . . .
"Sir you cannot enter Ms Wong's office at this time, Come back another day " i can hear Draken telling Ethan to get lost
"Mam, you need to get out of the building now " Shane is kinda worried but we have no choice.
"Stella! I know you are in there! Come on, I just want to talk ! " Ethan screamed at the door
But why Rin and Shane didn't pick up any movement from them? How did he get to Paris from Hong Kong so quickly? Private jet? Ship ? what the heck . I quickly opened the secret compartment of my table and took out my pistol and shoved it in my pants and nodded my head to signal the boys to open the door .
When the door opened it was Ethan and 1 bodyguard that's all , Draken locked the door and all of them stood behind me an on my side while Ethan and his bodyguard stood in front of me .
" Stella , Stella , Stella! " Ethan said and sat on the chair
"What are you doing here? And how did you even get in?"
"You really should not rush these kinds of questions , time will only tell . Anyways, how are you? " He asked
"I'm well enough , thank you . "
"Damien sent me to give you this " He pushes a red box towards me and opened it up it was a wedding ring
My eyes widen but no i can't what the hell
"As you know , Damien has been dead for sometime now and it's only right for you to be his legitimate wife and kids as well to take his surname and everything. " he said and pushes the contact to me as well
"Nice try , i'm not falling for that Ethan " folded my arms and lean back
"Stella, it's only right the kids know how their father is and from what I understand you haven't told them haven't you ? " Ethan questioned me and he was right , I never told their kids about their father and it's only sooner or later they will ask about it.
While Ethan was waiting for my answer I drew out my loaded gun and shot his bodyguard and jumped over the table holding him at gunpoint.
"Now you listen to me I don't know what you are playing at here but you are of good use to me and since you are in my terrority now i suggest you follow everything i say is that clear"
"Stella ! I'm just a minion in this whole Damn thing, don't have to shoot me! " his acting wasn't even convincing ,
I pulled the trigger once more shooting his upper arm causing him to winne in pain
"Guys pack it up " i hit Ethan at the back of his neck with the gun causing him to knock out instantly
"Let's drop of the body at sea first "
"Yes boss" Everyone replied an straight away bound Ethan together and toss him to the back of the car headed for the cliffs again before heading home , Draken and Baji went to strip the bodyguard and shot him once or twice to make sure his dead and then tossing him into sea
Everyone else waited in the car, When Baji came back with Draken Baji sat next to me and Draken sat in the driver's seat and off we went back home , I took Baji's hand and interlocked it with mine letting my head rest on his shoulder all the way back home
When we parked the car in the garage , Charlie and Draken carried Ethan to the basement and just in time its 5pm the kids are coming home soon so everyone else went to the home office , Shane and Rin quickly switched on the AI table and looked through all CCTV footages and found out that Damien is currently in the states again but if thats Ethan with him in the states who the fuck is in my basement?
I brought Baji , Draken and Shane down with me to the basement while the rest of them continued to pinpoint their location . We entered the basement and woke up the mysterious person . Everyone had their weapons ready to fire , I dragged a chair and sat in front of the guy.
"Glad you're awake , how are you sleeping? , we got intel that You are not Ethan and the real Ethan is in the States with Damien , so why don't you explain to me what is going on "
Draken removed the tape and splashed some water on his face before letting him speak
"I am Ethan, what are you talking about Stella? " he said
"What's my favourite food?"
"Coffee"
*BANG*
Shot him in the shin
"How many years have I been the top business Woman ?"
"6 years ?"
*BANG*
Shot on the thigh this time
"How many pets do i have"
"1"
*BANG*
Shot in the stomach
His screams filled the room. Draken had to put back the tape on his mouth to prevent any more noise, so I sat back down on the chair and reloaded my gun again looking at him bleeding everywhere. Such a mess
"You are not Ethan, you obviously do not know who i am , it's clear that you are not Ethan at this rate of bleeding you'll die in the next 48 hours without any medical attention . so are you going to tell me or not"
The guy shook his head left to right and I just pulled the trigger again aiming his heart this time around. I'm so sick and tired of playing mind games.
"Shane what do we have on him "
"Apparently he was hired by Ethan to act as a body double. That's why we didn't receive any logs on their travels to Paris since they flew to the states instead. "
"Monitor their movements , Draken, did you throw everything that was given to me just now?"
"Yes boss , we tossed everything into the sea like you asked.
"Good , Lets go greet the kids shall we " i got up from the chair and walked out of the basement and locking it as the last person exits and went to the toilet to clean off the blood splatters on my face then headed to the living room and sat there acting all normal watching TV while the rest of the guys went to the home office to monitor the situation in the states regarding Real Ethan and Damien
"HEY MOMMY! WE ARE BACK!" The kids scream, knocking their shoes off and running towards me and making me land on the sofa with both of them on top of me showering me with kisses.
"Helloo there , how was school today ? "
"Awsome!" Chris answered
"I had a wonderful day too at the country club " Dad said and walked over to the couch to join us
"Still playing Tennis with uncle Neo? "
"Hey! I'm still better than him , today we didn't play tennis we played badminton " dad removed the towel from his neck and handed it to Pram to wash .
"Aren't you going to the funeral? "
"Yeah in a while , just let me rest a while , I will go pick up your uncle and head down together . " Dad said and laid back and read his newspaper
"Mommy, Who's funeral?" Lumine questioned
"Oh Dad, how do I explain?"
"It's grandfather's cousin's mother passed on honey , you never met her before but she has seen you both before , do you want to go and pay your respects? "
"I would be wrong not to pay our respect's right Mommy? You said we must always respect our elders " Chris said and fiddled with his fingers
"You raised them well Stella" Dad patted my shoulder and nodded his head in approval and left to the showers as well
"Alright , Mommy will bring both of you tomorrow alright. "
"Yes mommy " Both answered with glee and quickly ran back upstairs to their room
"Hi , Love " Baji crashed next to me handing me a plate filled with grapes
"You are in a good mood today" i teased him with the grape
"That's because i have you " he said and laid his head on my lap making sure i fed him the grapes
"Oh shut it , Baji, if you didn't confess to Stella this wouldn't happen either. " Charlie mocked Baji causing him to shot up and chased Charlie around the living room
I laughed as both of them started to brawl with each other and Draken had to pull them apart . Matt and the others joined us shortly after Pram was done teaching them about the house stuff again .
At 7pm everyone gathered at the dining table my dad left before dinner time so its fine, Baji and Charlie were helping me feed the kids until they were full while the dinner conversation was about tomorrow's event and on the upcoming March holiday trip as well .
Once everyone was done with dinner Charlie and Baji were helping the kids with their homework while the rest of us were back in the home office.
