~~NARRATOR'S POV~~
" How is she doing now ? " Lucy asked Zamiel as she walked into their room
" Asher said she's fine and he's still clueless on when she will be regaining consciousness and what made her fall unconscious " Zamiel said and she sighed.
She still wasn't sure of what happened to her daughter and she didn't hope for the worst.
" It all happened because of you I… "
" Carlene is that how you speak to you brother in law? " Lucy asked noticing the aggressive behavior of her daughter
" I'll excuse you all " Zamiel said and left the room as he didn't want any more drama nor could he come up with any more excuses.
" Mum but… "
" I don't care what your reason is, that still doesn't give you the right to speak to him the way you just did " Lucy scolded more and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
Carlene couldn't understand why her mum was now scolding her, as she never had a problem with the way she spoke to people so what happened now?
" You better make sure you apologize okay "
" What never "
" Carlene if you don't… "
" Lucy stop.. " Carlene turned to find her grammy with a worried face
" Mum you want me to stop? If you didn't stop me from giving them five to ten slaps when they were still younger then maybe she wouldn't speak to her brother in lay the way she did " Lucy said and stormed off while Carlene couldn't stop cursing Zamiel
" Brother in my foot " She scoffed grabbing her Grammy's attention who signed in distress.
She knew that Lucy only express her worry by venting her unseen anger on anyone and she could understand that since she was her mother unlike anyone else
" Carlene you should sometimes listen to your mother "
" Even when she's wrong?.. I know Zamiel is responsible for this and … "
" You shouldn't jump to conclusions my dear.. " she said and took a seat on the couch
" Now tell me ..do you know how you mother and father fell in love ? " She said looking at her poor granddaughter
" No why? And it doesn't even have anything connected to what's going on now "
" Well it does my dear.. because if you were present then…then maybe you would think you Dad was also as mean as you think your brother in law is "
" Never Grammy,Dad is the coolest and can't never be as mean as this…this so called brother in law of mine "
" Oh really? You never thought he was this mean when you decided to back out of the wedding and left Carmela to marry to did you ? " She said with a strict face
" Gr…grammu ..how did you know? "
"Well just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I'm not aware of what you little brats have been up to…and you are also at fault for your sisters state.
If you just told her the truth then all these wouldn't have happened " she scolded
" Oh Grammy how do you expect me to ..to tell her that her husband is a demon "
" Well it's true "
" What ? "
" Carlene dear sometimes our past and our future determines our behavior.
Your father wasn't so nice at first..if you doubt me I'll prove it "
" Yes Grammy prove it " Carlene said determine to prove her grammy wrong
" Okay listen up.. Once upon a time "
. . .
" Do you know how to take care of children? '' Lucy looked up to her cold boss who hardly spoke a word and wonder why he was suddenly asking her questions
" Yes sir " She quickly replied as she didn't want any trouble from him as she loved her job so much
" You'll be following me home tonight get prepared " he instructed and went back to work.
It's been three months, Lucy became his secretary but she still feels scared whenever he's around, not as if she regrets having this job but he was just too cold and grumpy for her liking.
She immediately placed a call to her mum to inform her that she wasn't going to be back tonight but things began taking a different root
"Lucy I don't see the need for this " Her mum complained at the other end of the phone.
Lucy who knew exactly where she was headed to decided to cut her off
" Mum but ..."
" Your uncle owns one of the biggest empires in the world and has enough resources to take care of you and your next ten generation so why don't you just listen to him ?"
"Hmm mum we'll talk about this later l okay love you"
She ended the call immediately as she wasn't in for any drama today, she checked the time and it was already closing hour
"Let's go" the voice of her boss startled her from behind and she wanted to kick the hell out of him
Lucy is from a rich and affluent family although she has never seen her dad she never lacked fatherly care or love her uncle was always there to provide for her which she didn't want, she wanted to build up her empire without her uncle's help and the day she informed her uncle that she wanted to take up a job he immediately kicked against it, saying her dad already made provisions for her.
Yes they were filthy rich but she didn't want to be a spoiled child that always got what they wanted, and she couldn't deny the fact that her uncle was a mastermind in business. The company she is working with is having issues with his.
She was just lucky that no one knew who she truly was as her uncle always kept her identity a secret from the public.
The car suddenly came to a halt bringing Lucy back to her senses.
she stepped out of the car and followed behind her boss Zack and was left in awe immediately she stepped in
It surely was a beautiful house but it was just like a family house.
Nothing more which wasn't what Lucy was expecting.
She expected a big mansion with servants running here and there but reverse is the case
" Thank goodness you are here the kids are inside and I have to go bye" a lady in her 30s gave Zack a hug
" Good evening ma" Lucy greeted
"Good evening" the lady replied with a huge smile
" I'll be here by 8 am to pick them up " she added and left not sparing them a glance.
The lady was very beautiful and one could tell from the similarities and resemblance that they both were siblings
" Uncle! " a little boy called and hugged Zack.
Lucy, on the other hand, was surprised to see him smile for the first time which gave her goosebumps
" Hey pumpkin where are your siblings ?"
" They are inside, hello aunt" He greeted
" Hey there"
" Wow I never thoght uncle would have such a beautiful girl as his girlfriend you're so beautiful"
" What? Michael you're becoming spoilt you little brat take her to your siblings she would be the one caring for you all tonight"He scolded and walked passed them
"Okay after you my lady"little Michael said with a jest which made Lucy burst out laughing.
They soon arrived at a well-decorated room with teddy bears in it and two cradles where two little angels laid
" That's tessy and this is terra" Michael introduced
"They are so beautiful and cute"Lucy said with a smile
" Yes only when they are asleep these children are my doom" little Michel exaggerated
" Oh really why do you say so?"
" They've been trouble ever since they were born now come on leave them alone," he said and pulled Lucy to his bed
" Here read me a bedtime story. It's already late and I need to wake up early... You see" Lucy couldn't help but smile at the young boy who acts as if he's a grandpa.
She finished reading Michael the story he chose and tucked him to bed.
She felt bored and couldn't help but keeps starring at the two little angels asleep in the cradle

~~ZACK'S POV~~
I woke up to the smell of burning food, and quickly made my way to the kitchen just to find Lucy and the kids
" Good morning uncle" Michael greeted with a smile
" Good morning sir" Lucy also greeted with her hair in a mess while she was carrying both the twins and cooking at the same time.
I checked the time and it was just 5 am
" What's all this? " I questioned raising an eyebrow
" Well..Michael said he needed to be early for school today as they would be going for an excursion and the twins seem to be hungry" she explained and I nodded
" Hmm sir if you don't mind can you hold one of the twins so I can cook?"
she said and I took terra from her
Looking at Lucy's I was unsure about leaving my kitchen all to her as I feared she would burn it down
