"A month?". Mateo questioned again to confirm what Alexander just announced to him. "Does that mean I'm now in charge of taking care of the kids?". Mateo thought to himself, he was so looking forward to this already. "Just don't overdo things. I won't be coming back to the Mansion soon, so behave". Alexander glared at Mateo as he warned. Mateo gulped his saliva down his throat hard before hurrying Alexander to go back to the room where Mina was. "Sure sure, no need to worry about me handling things when I already got it under control"."I'm sure you know the consequences if you mess up little brother?". Alexander held the door knob and was staring at Mateo as he reminded him. "Of course, how could I ever forget about that". Without blinking his eyes, Mateo spoke."Good". Alexander said before opening and heading inside the room. "Phew". Mateo cleaned the sweat that formed on his forehead seeing that Alexander was already gone. After that, it was now the time for him to leave the
Tina was in such a bad mood that she didn't even let Jaden in her apartment after his multiple trials of pressing the door ring bell.The voice of that person was still stuck in her head, leaving her in a really bad mood and the past memories she had already forgotten were now playing all over in her head, causing her to experience the feelings of pain and resentment towards that particular person she hates."That b*stard, why did he have to remember me all of a sudden?. I'll kill him!". She roared out angrily, heading towards her bathroom to take a shower. She has spent more than 1 hour reflecting that she didn't even realise it until now. Getting inside the bathroom, she pulled off her dress and stood under the shower before switching it on. As the cold water poured on her skin, she didn't even groan nor flinch, but rather, she remained stiff, her eyes filled with only hatred. "Since you dare to call me, Father…. You must really need something from me this time". She thought to h
Tina's apartment was close to the falling petals park, she arrived in 10 minutes since she trekked from her apartment all the way here. "This place is just as beautiful as ever". She softly muttered and complimented, her right hand stretched forward to grab a piece of the falling pink petals. "This one is mommy's favourite". She inhaled the sweet fragrance coming from the petals before blowing it away. Next up, she spotted a familiar bench, the familiar special bench that held many memories of the past. This bench has been there since even before her Mother died. Tina walked over and sat down while she enjoyed the nice view of the park. Since it was already evening, there weren't many people present at the park. "Now being here actually makes me happy". She muttered to herself calmly and shut both her eyes while the cool breeze did the trick, she didn't even know the minute she slept off on the bench.About 30 minutes later, she woke up and checked the time on her phone, it was ju
It was 7am in the morning and Mateo already woke up since he was used to waking up early. He decided that today he'd be the one in charge to take Tyler, Taylor and Tessa to their school because of the feeling that he was the one responsible for taking care of them, well, until Mina and Alexander returned back. "Let's get going quickly or you kids are going to be late for school". Mateo announced. After he collected his car key from Deborah, he led the kids to where his car was parked.In no time, he drove off from the Mansion.About 5 minutes later…."Oh gosh, I didn't even check the car, it's running out of gas….". He hissed and said. "I should have driven the other car". Mateo filed a complaint."No need to worry at all, big brother Mateo. Look over there, it's a filling station". Tyler announced while pointing his index finger towards the direction of the filling station. He was sitting in the front seat with Mateo, so he had a better view advantage.Mateo sighed in relief after
"What took you three so long, big brother Mateo? We're going to get late to school". Tyler was glad when he saw that they already returned from the building. "Huh?. What's wrong with your face, big brother Mateo?....". Tyler turned to stare at Taylor and Tessa. "Did something happen there?". He questioned them, but Tessa immediately gave him an eye sign which he understood instantly and stopped questioning. "Nevermind me". Tyler stated before putting on the seatbelt he had earlier removed from his chest.For a second, Mateo wanted to check out his face using the side mirror of his car, but after opening the back door for Tessa and Taylor to get in the car, he totally forgot about it. Since everyone already settled in the car, Mateo also got in and he drove off to the school where he left Tyler, Taylor and Tessa before he returned back to the Mansion. ……"I'm here, finally".Taking a deep breath in and out, Tina made her way down from her car. She didn't immediately make her way ins
"You're right, Tina. I wouldn't have indeed bothered to call you if I didn't have any trouble at hand. But as my first daughter, it's your responsibility to help me resolve this trouble". Elrod announced. Although his face was naturally pale, those pairs of his warm light grey eyes he used to stare at Tina the moment she entered his office turned cold and expressionless, just like he'd always stare at her before. "Now that's the Elrod I know". Fearlessly, Tina announced after seeing the sudden changes in Elrod's face after effect of the words she spoke. "Even though you want to deny this fact, you're still my first child that I raised, and for that, it's your responsibility to marry Mr Addams for our family's sake to secure our company from going bankrupt". Listening to Elrod's words almost caused Tina to burst out into great laughter because of how selfish Elrod is. Just like she had thought, something was really off, now she finally understands why he took the courage and calle
Tina came out from the building, but right after she stared at it, she suddenly recalled why she came here in the first place. She came here to take revenge and claim her Mother's Company back.Thinking about this, she wanted to return back in, but again, since she heard herself from the horse's mouth that the Company was going bankrupt, she decided it was going to be fun to just sit and watch what was going to happen. She spotted her black Rolls-Royce's car just right where she parked it and entered.She started the car and drove forward before a sudden someone came out of the blues and stood at the front of the way, causing her feet to hit on the brakes immediately."You really have to be kidding me". Tina had to come down from her car after she saw who the person was."What now?. Are you so eager to die with the help of my car?". Tina questioned Bella in annoyance. "You can't leave. I won't let you leave here until you agree to what our Father requested from you. You must agree
"I don't understand. What's the meaning of this?. This is totally not what you and I discussed on the phone when you called".Mateo reminded David who stood behind him. Before he instantly shifted away from Tina's side and stared at David, his manager, who avoided staring back at him with his face showing a hint of guilt."I had to. Honestly, believe me when I admit you won't come if I had told the truth from the start". David tried to sound funny when he explained, but it wasn't funny enough to get Mateo nor Tina smile a little."Tada. I bet you were surprised, right?". David questioned, but was totally ignored by Mateo who focused his attention on Tina. She was giving him a 'What are you looking at, dude' look, combined with a scorn expression.Seeing that Mateo didn't stop staring at her for a minute, she spoke out her mind. "Aren't you done staring at me?. You might as well ask me to sit if you wish to continue". "Ahem". He faked an obvious cough before mustering up his courage
