[8: Rule 6]
- Aushi's POV -
"President Han, Lily reported to me. She said one assistant attempted to harm Ma'am Alisha using a skin-burning chemical. Luckily, Ma'am Alisha noticed it right away and avoided it. What do you want to do with the assistant, President?" Henry asked me.
I furrowed my brow at what he said.
"What could be her motive for doing that? Was she ordered to do it?" I asked him.
The entertainment industry is as dirty as the business industry. Everybody is trying to be better than anybody. I wouldn't be surprised if that assistant was just following orders.
"I made her confess, but she said no one ordered her to do it. She just really hates Ma'am Alisha." he replied.
"Lock her up, immediately." I ordered him and ended the call.
She dared to hurt my wife. Luckily, my wife is smart. I'm so proud. Speaking of my wife, I've been waiting for hours for Alisha to come down. Did she fall asleep there?
I set down the papers needed for tomorrow. I'll have Drake take care of them.
I quietly went up the stairs and looked for Alas's room. I gently turned the doorknob and found my wife and son sleeping peacefully side by side.
I smiled as I watched them. This feeling is something else. I still couldn't grasp the fact that I am already a father. I really wish I had found them sooner. I wish I had tried harder to find them. I wish Alisha hadn't experienced all the hardship and pain she went through. Being a mother is already a tough job, but she had to work just to survive with Alas.
She is really strong.
I promise, you're not gonna suffer any pain this time.
I carried Alisha and kissed my son's forehead.
"Goodnight, Alas. Sweet dreams." I whispered before I kissed Alisha's forehead and went to sleep.

- Alisha's POV -
I stretched my arms as I woke up. I must have slept too well. I thought I was going to wake up at Alas' room, but I didn't.
"AAAAHHH!" I screamed when I saw Aushi beside me.
Half-naked. Showing off his six-pack abs with a smile on his face. Not gonna lie, that's a nice view.
"Did you sleep well? I'm sure you did, you hugged me so tightly last night." he said, and my eyes widened.
I looked around and realized that this isn't Alas's room.
"What are you talking about? I didn't sleep here! Alas was the one beside me when I fell asleep!" I denied, and he shrugged.
"How would I know? I just woke up with you clinging to me. Maybe you were sleepwalking and ended up here." he said.
"I don't sleepwalk!" I protested as I left the room.
Alas has school today, and I'm almost late for the shooting.
"Alas, have you taken a bath? I'll take you to school--"
"Lady Alisha, we'll take care of Young Master. It's our job to take him to his school." Mang Kiko interrupted.
Lady? Wow, I feel like I'm part of the royal family. Since we arrived here, everything I used to do has lightened. There are people doing the things I should be doing. I don't know if I'm happy about it or not. But whenever I take care of Alas, it feels like we're bonding. So now, there's only a little time left for us to play around.
I saw Alas eating at the dining table, and I joined him. Aushi also arrived to eat.
"Alas, have some vegetables." Aushi said as he put some veggies on Alas's plate.
Alas isn't picky when it comes to food. I was about to eat a lot when suddenly I looked at my watch.
Oh sh*t! I'm gonna be late for the shooting waaaahhhhh!
I rushed to the bathroom and changed clothes.
When I came out, Alas was already dressed. My baby looks handsome!
"Alas, I'll leave first, okay!" I said goodbye to him and kissed his cheek.
"Take care, Mommy. If someone bullies you, just tell me. They're dead!" Alas said, making me laugh softly.
My little superhero.
"Okay, bye! I love you!"
I was about to leave when...
"Hep. Hep."
Hooray?
I turned to Aushi, who caught up to me. What now? What do you need from me again?
"What?" I asked him, and he pointed to his lips.
"Rule 6."
Rule 6? What's Rule 6? The wife should kiss her husband before she leaves the house to go to work?
"Hey, Mr. Aushi Han, stop it. I already slept beside you. Stop abusing your power." I threatened him, and he just shrugged.
How come he is more childish than Alas?
"Fine, my wife is so bad. She doesn't obey the rules."
