"Come to the mansion right now!"she heard her father's voice and then the call was disconnected. She angrily got up and started heading to her room to get her bag and rushed back downstairs.
Although Anthony and Zachary had heard what her father said, they still asked her where she was going to.
"I'm going out, I'll be back soon." she replied and headed towards the door and Anthony rushed to block the way.
"You didn't answer my question. You are my staff and my kids nanny so you have to tell me where you're going to so that I don't have to fear for the safety of my kids."
Lia looked up at him and answered angrily "I'm going home. Now move or I force my way out." Anthony had not seen her this angry before and so before she took action, he moved out, not that she could have even been able to push him but to not add to her already angered anger.
As soon as she left, Anthony made a call to Oliver and asked him to send some of his men to watch over Lia from a distance.

LIA'S POV
As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I remembered that no taxis were allowed to drive up the hill to the estate. Yes, the estate was situated and built on a small hill and the road was private which meant that I was gonna walk down the hill to the main road.
While walking I started thinking about my brother's condition. My father would not call me home for nothing. And even though my brother is the only son he has, he won't hesitate to put a bullet through his head. That is the type of man he is.
The only reason he is keeping me around is because of my brother and the reason why he is also keeping my brother is because of the company and his legacy. My father does not want a stranger to run his business. He wants it to be in the lineage even though we are illegitimate his children.
As I reached the main road, I hailed a cab to get to my father's mansion. On getting there, I paid the cabbie and started walking towards the gate. The security guards let me in immediately, maybe because my father instructed them to. It's only twice they have seen me, mostly the senior ones that were here when I was first brought here from my mom's friend's place after my mom's burial. That was the first time they saw me.
The second time was when I went out of the house thinking that I would never return, but here I am,in front of this big mansion. Big enough to contain at least fifty people,one person,one room. But I slept in the basement with the rats and spiders and cockroaches. I'm about to go in. I hope I come out with my whole body intact.

LUCY'S POV
As we reached the park with dad's men, we got out of the car and went to sit down on a bench not too far from where they parked the car. Reason being that we didn't like associating with people. I'm not sure about the boys and I don't know if they are just following me instead of having fun. That's not my problem.
Oh, that looks like fun. I watched how a group of rebellious female middle schoolers conered a little girl in an alley beside a convenience store. That little girl was around my age. Infact, those girls, all of them are my age mates and we attend the same school. The girl whom they cornered was Jasmine Koron and also known as the most intelligent and brilliant girl in school. But, and I repeat but, she doesn't know the first thing about self defense. She's like an egg and a little crack can ruin her. That's what she said she was always told by her parents.
I would have loved to watch what would happen but the girl looks too scared and might pee on herself if no one interferes.
And so, I stood up and my brothers stood up as well. My father's people looked relieved that at least one of us moved to play. That was what they thought. I turned to my brothers and said "Stay and play. I'll be right back." That was the permission to play that they have been waiting for, and thus, the play began.
