Arnold froze and shifted backwards while frowning.
Turning his back on her, "I need an honest answer to those reddish spots on your neck and breast".
Darn that Liam! Stephanie cursed mentally again.
" It's not what you think".
"What was I thinking?"
"I was attacked by sand flies. I went to have some fun with some socialites in a certain area around the beach. I forgot to take my coat. I got feasted on by those flies because I wore only a bikini top", she complained coyly.
Arnold's heart soften at her coy behaviour and he took her into his arms.
Stroking her hair gently, " you always make me worried about you. Next time you feel like having fun with your friends, just go with a few maids and securities. Always prioritize your safety".
Throwing her arms around his neck, Arnold buried his face in between her cleavage and she giggled. Seducing him was a piece of cake to her, she sneered at him while the latter was busy enjoying the view before him.
A few minutes later, the temperature of the room rose and mist covered everywhere.
Arnold lay with a satisfied expression on his face, this is what Avery couldn't do. She was too cold and self-reliant hence he sought the warmth of Stephanie when the opportunity showed up.
Stephanie stroked his beard with pure disgust on her face. She had never loved Arnold, she was only with him because he hated how Avery had everything yet she couldn't have any.
"So when do you think Kevin should resume work at the company?"
"Nothing should distract him at this moment, he is about to take his final grade exams. After the exams, he can come over and spend his holidays at the company".
"That's perfect", she clasped her hands in appreciation.
They went for another round of intense pleasure and Arnold slept off looking exhausted.
She narrowed her eyes in anger as she looked at him, she has caught him several times looking at Avery's Photo on his phone. This bastard is still interested in that vixen. If only he could give her a quarter of the love he has for Avery, she would have reciprocated it. She was a woman and she knew that his heart still yearns for that slut, Avery.
" I will not let you off, Avery even if it's the last thing I will do".
Kevin trudged into the house and passed by his parent's room, he could perceive the atmosphere and temperature from where he stood. Snorting at their lewd behaviour, they are old and yet so active.
Casting his mind back at the beauty he met today, he couldn't hold himself back from asking her out. He made inquiries and found out that she was Sandra's cousin. The contrasting difference between them was so wide. Sandra is so clingy and so annoying.
"Violet.... Violet...", he mumbled the name over and over again. The manner the name rolled off his tongue made him more interested in her. Her beauty can topple nations and kingdoms. He had asked his private investigator to find out her schedule for the next day. He got to know that she would be visiting an orphanage tomorrow morning in one of the suburbs by 10 am.
He has been skipping classes recently and he planned to do so the next day as long as he can meet that beautiful Violet.
Kevin slept with a smile on his face.
Violet sprang up from the bed and checked her bedside clock. Lizzy brought on the light and she began to prepare herself. She called her assistant and confirmed is she had bought the things she asked her to and the later replies positively. At exactly 8 am, she had already decked herself in black skinny jeans and a pink crop top with a black down jacket. Ahe paired her outfit with pink and black dotted high-knee boots. She took a snapshot of her outfit while making funny faces and poses. After sending it to Lucas, she went downstairs because Lizzy already informed her about Miriam's arrival.
Opening the door, her assistant was stunned by the large space and decor of the whole house. As expected of the boss's taste, he had done everything for her to the last and left no bit of imperfection.
Violet offered her some snacks and she declined awkwardly. Looking at her outfit, Miriam felt a faint sense of jealousy and envy. she had received instruction from the higher-ups that she must treat Violet well because she is the boss's treasure. Which woman wouldn't love to be a concubine to the president of Clayton's group of industries? Their president took care of her wardrobe and everything concerning Violet to the last detail.
Tidying up her hair, she gave herself a simple hairstyle. The front hair framed her gorgeous face and a simple make up made her flawless.
Stepping down from the stairs, Lizzy opened the door and they both went out.
All through the ride, her assistant kept reporting the background of the orphanage. After an hour and thirty minutes later they arrived at the orphanage in Brooklyn.
The director welcomed them and lowered her head in respect. She was told that someone from Clayton's group of companies will visit their orphanage today.
"Welcome to our humble orphanage. We are so glad to have you here......".
" Miss Oliver".
Two kids ran furiously and the one behind had a fierce expression on her little face.
"He bullied my brother and I can't stand it", she glared at the boy who hid behind the director.
One of the teachers emerged and called the little girl.
"Natalie, I have always told you that it's not good to fight".
Violet took interest in this little girl whose face was so exquisite. The brother emerged from behind the teacher. His face looked like a mini of a certain someone in Dubai but the baby fat on his face didn't make the resemblance perfect.
" Hey, little girl. Your name is?"
Natalie who was 2 years old saw this beautiful lady and became emotionally attached to her at once.
"I'm Natalie, that is my brother Nathan", she skipped to where the brother was and dragged him towards Violet. The shy boy who looked like he malnutrition issues became bright-eyed when Violet smiled warmly at him. This little tyrant of a girl Natalie had never been close to any adult before so her series of actions surprised the director and teachers.
Her skinny little face shone with a sincere smile as she grabbed Violet's hand enthusiastically.
" The kids...", she turned to look at the directors.
"There are twins. They were found near an abandoned warehouse. So we picked them up. No one has ever come to ask of them ever since they were brought here", replied the director.
Violet's heart broke into millions of pieces. She remembered her kids who died at birth. She felt a motherly connection to them and she couldn't deny how much she wanted to stay with them. If they were to be alive, they would be exactly this age.
"Can I stay with them for a while, I know I came to see all the kids....", she turned to her assistant and instructed her to bring out the items they brought.
Leaving the crowded place, Violet took them to a quiet place.
"I don't fight with other kids for no reason, he called us bastards and he always bully my brother. Beautiful Aunty, a bastard doesn't have a mom and dad?"
Violet's heart broke again. She laughed awkwardly and stroked her hair. She bent over and took the little boy into her arms and he hid his face in the crook of her neck.
"You and your brother are not bastards".
" But we don't have a mom and dad".
Shocked at her level of intelligence, she asked "How old are you?"
"Two going to three", she showed Violet two fingers and grinned.
Her little face looked beautiful and her long hair was so soft and dark.
She took Violet to where her corner is, the interior was nowhere a child should grow up. The environment was not conducive at all.
She saw the jealousy in the other kid's eyes and can't imagine how much they have suffered here.
The other kids hated her because she was extremely intelligent, strong and quick-witted for her age. She would do duties a child of her age shouldn't do and most of them were a punishment for her.
She sometimes took her brother's punishment and let him have some of her meals.
After spending some time with them, she gave the twins snacks, food and beautiful new clothes.
Entering the director's office, the woman immediately ended her call and looked nervous.
"Hello director", she took a seat and look closely at the woman.
"Thank you so much Miss Oliver. We appreciate the love and care for the kids".
"Of course, it's service to humanity", she waved her hands in the air nonchalantly.
"Anything you would like me to help you with?"
"Uhmm! It's about the twins. Can I see their data, file or records?".
The director's face paled slightly and her hands trembled.
Violet had become quick-witted courtesy of her few days of work at the restaurant.
The director had gone silent for a couple of minutes.
"Well... They were picked from an abandoned warehouse as I said. Nathan and Natalie don't have any means of identification like who dropped them and so on. We gave them the names Nathan and Natalie".
"At exactly when and what time did you find them there?"
"Miss Oliver, do you have any special emotional attachment to these twins?" The director's face became a little stiff".
" Yes I do, I would like to adopt them. Both Nathan and Natalie".
"No! I mean you can't adopt them. Natalie is very troublesome...."
"But sweet if you get to know her well", Violet smiled.
" I know but that kid is like a little gangster and very mischievous".
"Miss Snowy, is there anything you are hiding from me?"
The woman trembled. "Not at all, Miss Oliver"
"Then allow me to adopt them. Perhaps, I can change her".
"You can only adopt the boy but not the girl".
"Why?"
"From the higher-ups".
"Miss Snow, I will come back later. Maybe by then we will talk better".
She left the office and met the little Natalie outside. She immediately jumped on her.
"Beautiful aunty, can you take us out of here?"
Stroking her beautiful face, she pulled her into a bone-crushing hug.
"I will come back very soon to take you and your brother out of this place".
Violet took pictures with them and before she left Natalie stuffed a piece of paper in her hands stealthily.
The quiet Nathan showed her a picture of her face he had drawn earlier. He shyly gave it to her and hid behind the sister.
"This kid is....Darn it! He is super talented", the assistant cursed in a low voice.
She left the orphanage and couldn't stop looking back.
Violet reached out to pick up her ringing phone but before she did it had stopped
ringing.
She called back and the duo shared a beautiful moment. Violet shared the pictures she took with the kids with Lucas.
Lucas had began his investigation immediately Violet complained to him about the trouble she encountered today.
