Kelly opened her eyes slowly, she tried to recall what had happened and how she ended up here "I was on my way to the manager's office and...." Her eyes suddenly widened. Now she remembered, someone covered her nose with a white handkerchief from behind!

She trembled and looked up, she then realised she was standing before a pole, while her hands were tied behind and her face and mouth were blindfolded!

Scared. "Hi..." she paused. The environment isn't silent, she could hear laughter, arguments, the smell of cigarettes and whiskies.

Kelly felt a chill in her spine, 'Hope is not what I'm thinking?' Ehn? In Esteban's Den!

"Boss is here!" Someone whispered.

"Boss! Welcome"

"Hey Mercury! Open her eyes!"

"Yes open, look, she's awake!"

Kelly swallowed her silver nervously, the noisy place is now silent! Ahhh!

She heard footsteps approaching and felt a hand removing her blindfold.

Kelly refused to look up after the blindfold was removed, she knew Esteban was there, staring at her! 'What will I do..' she thought.

"Hey, head up," one of his men said. But Kelly frowned and ignored him. Mercury gritted his teeth in annoyance, he roughly grabbed her neck "You want to die"

"Take off your dirty hand from me," Kelly roared in anger.

Mercury was surprised she dared to talk back in this situation "How dare..."

"Let go..." Esteban's cold voice echoed from behind.

Kelly finally looked at him, despite his dark aura, his good-looking face and tattoos are just...

"Are you a detective?" He asked. Kelly quickly shook her head. Esteban tilted his head and raised a brow. "So why are you stalking me?"

Kelly stared at his lips in daze, unable to speak...those lips are.... She licked her lips and looked away, embarrassed.

Esteban men exchanged glances, surprised, it turned out the lady was crushing on their boss hehe!

Esteban shook his head and moved closer to her, seeing him coming closer Kelly clenched her fists. 'Where are these feelings coming from?' she thought.

Reaching her, he raised her jaw with his glove hand and smirked. "Kitten, what is the meaning of that?"

"I...I..." He's just too close, so his lips. "I'm not stalking you" she denied.

Esteban nodded and turned. "Wait..." Kelly unconsciously stopped him. She was even surprised to say that out loud. She felt he was about to leave her life and he would never return.

Esteban halted, "Get it out, it's not gonna happen, stop daydreaming"

"He knew...." Kelly murmured. "No, I won't!"

"Are you insane..." Mercury sneered, no one dared to say NO to their boss!

Esteban chuckled. Why won't he know what the girl is up to? He threw his head back and sighed " You don't belong to my world Kelly " he said coldly. He

"Esteban Ahhh..." A hand flung on her neck, choking her.

" How dare you call him by his name..." Mercury couldn't stand her disrespecting his boss.

" Get your stinky hand away from me" then she spat on his face. Mercury was stunned. The rest burst into laughter, Esteban lit the smoke in his mouth, not caring.

Mercury gritted his teeth, disgust, and he raised his big hand in the air. "Bitch..."

"Mercury!" An authoritative voice echoed in the hall. Stopping him.

Another gang entered, with their little boss leading them.

Mercury clenched his fist. "Not your business, Adain," he said. Immediately, a sharp knife was thrown at him. "Ahhh" the knife pierced his chest, he fell, blood oozing out from it. "How dare you call him by his name," Johnson smirked.

"Hahaha, what a straight hand" Adain chuckled, he glanced at Kelly and walked toward Esteban.

Kelly's heart almost leapt away the moment their eyes met. She's not familiar with Adan and Adian. She barely saw them. But Adain became scarer day by day. What makes his aura thicken is the black thing he used under his eyes. 'Maybe an eyeliner'

Esteban glanced at his right-hand man in a pool of blood and looked at Adain. "Hi Dad, Hummmm...you know if we don't return mom's property, she will break our heads," Adain said.

"You can't be like Adan" Esteban frowned at the blood. Adan's situation is already out of hand, even Norman who raised him couldn't control his temper.

You will have to pass through seven gates with tight security before you reach his mansion door. Adan started living alone at the age of seven, that's the previous year, Israel gave him the estate as birthday gift, he rebuilt it and transformed it into his palace. A dangerous tycoon's palace.

Seeing Adain like this makes him uneasy, he will end up more dangerous than Adan!

Adan was capable of controlling his emotions, but not Adain.

Adain's smile faded, "I didn't kill him, he only lost a litre of blood" he said innocently. Then glanced at Johnson, nodded at him. Johnson immediately unties Kelly.

"Follow me," he said to her. Leading her out, Kelly's eyes never leave Esteban till she leaves.

Adain roared in laughter. "She's into you, tsk tsk! I see" he shrugged "Ahhh... don't worry Dad, I can never be like my brother, I'm very innocent, you know" he tapped Esteban's shoulder and left with his gang.

Esteban watched his back and sighed, he smirked and texted Archie. "You have a lot to do with your kids"

Mercury, still groaning in pain on the floor. "Boss..."

Esteban moved towards him and bent "You can't be rude to Adain, just because he's once among us doesn't mean you can call him by his name, he's now a boss with territories " he warned.

Esteban stood, he glanced at the small knife and frowned. " Don't even think of crossing his brother" he added. The knife has a phoenix logo on it 'Who created this weapon?' he thought.

"Let's go. Keep the knife" he said to the rest. Leaving Mercury in pain. " You're a fool to think boss will fight Phoenix, he raised him and loved him like his own son" his friend said and helped him up.

"He knew about your secret plan on Myth, so don't even dare to do something stupid to get his attention. He's not familiar with the boss" he warned.

In Adan's car. Kelly kept glancing at Adain from time to time, wondering why his aura was similar to Esteban's.

"Whatever feelings you're having for him...." He paused. "Go for it" he smirked.

Johnson coughed, what kind of suicide advise is he giving him?

"Unless you want your lungs out of your throat" Adain smiled at Johnson, Johnson sealed his lips and said to the driver "make it slow," Creating more time for Adain and Kelly who were sitting in the back seat.

"He's a man that doesn't love, he's thirty-one, already old, seduce him and make him fall for you hahaha" he laughed.

"You're too young for all these Adain" she murmured. People will mistake his present for Adult.

"Really? Same as you, you are too pure to aim for him, that's how things are, people are now doing what they aren't supposed to do to get what they want"

Kelly was stunned. Where did that brilliant speech come from?

" Don't think he's aware I'm on my way to get you. Just be thankful you're a friend of his stubborn baby girl. Or else, you will end up in a place you don't want."

"Is he that bad?"

"As you're a Cinderella, you should look for a prince, well if you really prefer a beast, go for it... his beauty was shot dead so no one will blame you"

"I like your boldness, but don't piss him off, just do your thing as a lady, by telling him he can still love again"

Kelly looked at Adain in daze, he's only eight and already giving the vibes of a Playboy. "Adain, do you have a gf?"

Adain froze, the driver choked his own silver. Johnson burst into laughter.

Ahhh, sorry... that's not what I mean.."

"Okay Miss Smith, you are only curious," Johnson chuckled.

Adain kept laughing "I won't answer that question, I'm almost as tall as you, so you forgot my age hahaha, well having girlfriends isn't as easy as you think"

"Girlfriends..." Kelly muttered in disbelief. The boy is not even planning to have one gf?

"I will start from smaller steps, right Johnson" he glanced at him. Johnson nodded in agreement. "Yes, like watching strippers dancing...." Johnson said.

"Strippers?" Another shock hit her like a rock.

"Yeah like, carrying neat bitches, well... I prefer starting with tongues on my dick Johnson!"

Johnson took a moment to think about it "That's cool, but until you're eighteen"

"He's right" he pointed at Johnson, " for now, I watched bitches twerks In their clothes, your crush said, when I turned eighteen, I can watch them do that in bikinis until I'm twenty, they can be completely naked and play with their womanhood on a table before me hahaha" Adain laughed, Kelly's mouth is still open wide.

"Esteban told you that?"

Adain raised a brow "I'm planning to start going to strippers clubs at this age, you know, no one will believe I'm eight, they will think I'm thirteen, Esteban is such a nice guy grip me"

Kelly refused to ask Adain any other questions, his answers are too strong for him to handle! And, Esteban giving a young boy like Adain that type of advice must be Crazy!

"Oh please...stop at the Shopping mall" she almost forgot the girl she asked to wait. "Maybe left already."

To her surprise the five-year-old girl was still there, waiting!

"You're back" she smiled, dusting her dirty rag gown "I thought...." She paused.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you, why toilet cleaner at your age?"

"Ahhh... not that, I'm helping a woman clean, she will give me food when I'm done cleaning"

Kelly frowned "What of your parents?"

" Mom is late, Dad married another wife with a kid, I don't like her and she doesn't like me either"

Kelly laughed, Kids nowadays "Do you care if I adopt you?" She used to see her working very hard whenever she came to the mall. That's too much for her age.

"Really?" Her eyes widened, she quickly knelt and grabbed her cloth "Yes Aunty Kelly, I will be glad if you do" she said, tears streaming down her face. Ehn? So her prayer will finally be answered?

"Let's go" Kelly said, hurriedly, she grabbed her hands and headed to Adain's car.

Opening the car, she felt a sudden chill. She stopped the poor kid and glanced at Adian, who focused on his phone. His smiling face has been replaced with a cold. Afraid to scare the poor girl, she went to Johnson at the front seat "Where is Adain?" She asked, The twins are very similar and disturbing.

Johnson glanced at Adain " We're busy when his mom asked him to bring you, you just wasted ten minutes of his time"

Kelly froze, "You mean that's what he looks like when he's mad?" She murmured, his face this time is similar to Adan, she suddenly mistook him for Adan!

"Adain, I'm very sorry..." she said as soon as she got in, Adain's cold face changed, revealing a delicate smile "Ahhh no problem, wasting ten minutes is nothing"

Kelly sighed and sat between Adain and the little girl, not all kids can withstand Adain's aura.

Adan glancing at the little girl who was staring at him with wonder, he raised a brow "Where did you see this little chicken"

Kelly's heart sank, Chicken as how? She gave Adain a side glance and sighed. "Can't you be nice with your sweet words?"

"Hahaha, I won't allow her in my car if I'm not nice," she smiled. Kelly swallowed and nodded. In the next moment, the little girl crossed from Kelly's side, sitting beside Adain.

"Hey!!!" Kelly whispered nervously, The girl is very dirty, compared to Adain whose coat is neat, his skin is even whiter than hers.

"Chill...Leave her alone, I'm not disgusted with dirty things." He stopped Kelly from pulling her away.

"Hi," she smiled.

"Hello, little chicken, what is your name?"

"Again..." Kelly shook her head.

" Charlotte, handsome"

Adian nodded "Good, whenever you suddenly see me more good-looking, wearing white and very serious face....run"

Kelly laughed, He's probably talking about Adan. "Your names and faces are too similar, not old enough to understand that" Kelly sighed. Jenna has once told her about Adan's obsession with cleanliness, even angelic to people's touch. That's weird. The triplets are just full of wonders.

"Okay", Charlotte nodded.

"Nice chickens to raise"

Kelly sighed "Her mom was late, her dad is a mother fucker"

"He's nice" Charlotte giggled.

Adain chuckled and stared at Charlotte, making her feel uncomfortable. Charlotte blushed and quickly looked away. No handsome boy has ever looked her way. "Yeah, he's VERY nice" Kelly exaggerated. Ehn? Adain nice? Humph!!

....

Jenna chuckled at the Hindely who made her marriage upside down eight years ago.

They even brought this witch with mutation eyes with them, she's a powerful queen that gave birth to Archie's mother, people called her a witch, it's obvious she's very pretty, tough, cold and blessed with sharp-tongued.

Ladies will have to pass through her, if they want to stay in Hindley's family. She has been Rebekah's (Israel's mother) best friend since high school. To make their friendship stronger, she forced Israel to marry her daughter, Diane!

"Hello Jenna, I'm glad to see you again" Rebekah smiled sweetly at her. She's is short and beautiful woman, she has the body of an early 50s but she is almost 80, her face is too smooth for her age including her energetic vibes, she might be talkative but she's easy going and friend/friendly unlike Queen Eli who is always angry for no specific reason!

Eli forgot she's the queen of these dirty characters she's running away from, she makes her daughter sleep with her best friend's son to strengthen a relationship.

Jenna "Hello Grandmother" She smiled back at her, she's not afraid of any of them, she grew up knowing people like Israel, Norman, Esteban, and Adan! They are the wilds in the jungles. Compared to these wolves and bulldogs.

"Oh, are you Archie's long-lost lover?" Lisa, Archie's younger sister asked happily. Jenna smiled politely in response, she despised the ladies the this family, they are good examples of 'The females are the witches of the family '

"You left my son when he's in trouble, why did you come back?" Diane, Archie's mother said coldly.

"I have my own reasons," Jenna said calmly, but Eli (Diane's mother) isn't buying that.

"What is this stupid reason that made a gold digger run away when he needed you most, and now come back when he is crowned, as the most powerful person in the business world?" Eli said, standing up, her move was slow, That action is enough to bring normal people down on their knees and bow for forgiveness.

But, Jenna isn't just anyone, these people wronged her a lot in the past, they're the masterminds of what happened and even dared to blame her for it.

And if she doesn't leave how will she be able to protect herself and the heirs of the Hindelys? These children are very important to Israel, he didn't joke with them!

From their reactions, it seems Israel hasn't told them anything about the children which is a good thing! They're not worthy to know them!

Eli stood tall before Queen Eli, she had strong aura that matched Eli's, very elegant and sexy, especially with her beautiful brown long hair that covered her butt.

The silver long dress with mid-tight slit Archie chose for her is very expensive, people will think it's specially made for her,

Jenna raised a brow and folded her hands as she stared at Eli, indifferently, ' I don't know why people are bowing down for this queen, evil queen!' she thought.

Diane watched them with disapproval shown on her face, Jenna shouldn't have stood arrogantly before a whole queen of a country, "Arrogant" she murmured. This is one of the reasons why she dislikes her. Jenna is the first very first young lady who matched her mother's tough aura.

Queen Eli is an angry lioness, now this lioness had met her match, a tigress!.

Jenna stared at the old woman who looked fifty instead of eighty, she was mad at this because her daughter, Alan had taken so many things from this woman, same blonde hair and mutation eyes.

"I have seen many shameless ladies, but you are the most arrogant one, pathetic!" Queen Eli spat.

" You want to know why I hate some high-class families? They're quick to judge someone even if they're the worst," Jenna pointed out.

Eli's eyes widened, did she just say that to the whole of her?

"How dare you talk back to...." Eli raised her hand to hit her face, but Jenna was smarter and held her hand.

Everyone was stunned, especially Archie's younger brother George who almost applauded Jenna for dealing with that wicked woman, Lisa smiled with satisfaction, severe that old b*tch right! " She is just too much!" She said.

Diane stood in shock, did she just stop her mother from hitting her? A whole queen? Is she insane?

" I won't let you hit me," said Jenna.

Jenna gave Eli a warning look, Rebekah sighed and joined the scene, she smiled kindly at Jenna "Sorry Jenna, please let go of her hand"

Jenna glanced at Rebekah and said. "She has no right to hit me, she's not even from the Hindley" Jenna frowned, how dare an outsider bossing around her, upon what she had done to her mother in the past?!

"Yes, I knew how you were feeling" Rebekah smiled in understanding. Eli shouldn't have interfered, she should have been in her husband's palace, always doing whatever she wants to do.

"People like them, if something is wrong, they won't ask their own son but will blame his wife for everything, as if marrying their son is a lottery," she said and smirked, already carrying out what Kelly told her. Well, the idea isn't bad! Doing anything to get what she wants!

She won't please any of them. Eli and Diane hated her, they had bad histories with her mother and grandmother, but how was that her concern? If she had known the women in Hindley's family were not on good terms with her family she wouldn't have dated Archie in the first place.

She would have been having a peaceful life with a man! Norman's parents liked her so much, and didn't mind Norman marrying her! Especially Esteban's family, she even had her own room in their family house! If she had married one of them back then, everything would have been going smoothly by now!

The funny thing is, her family didn't blame her for marrying Archie secretly, they even accepted her pregnancy despite how cruel the mother and daughter treated them!

"I knew you have no manners," she cleaned her hand with her handkerchief "I heard you swimming around multiple men, a cheap b*tch" she added.

"That's not true" Archie's cold voice echoed, he glanced at his siblings 'They are back from abroad?' he thought. He looked at his mother and grandmothers from both sides, confused, 'Why are they even here?'

Jenna wanted to go to him, bury her face in his chest, to show them she owned him no matter what they do or say. But what happened in the company still annoyed her.

"Oh son, you're back, look, your girlfriend almost slapped my mother," Diane said, pointing at Jenna.

"What?" Jenna was stunned, she looked at Archie to clarify herself but the man said "When will you stop this your bad characters, mom" Jenna was stunned in a good way, she almost let out tears of satisfaction.

"Son... You will trust an outsider over your own family?" Diane was stunned.

"You really enjoyed provoking me, I thought you should be tired of framing people and stop your scheming attitudes," said that, grabbing Jenna's waist, pulling her to himself. "Let it be the last time you will ever disturb my wife" he warned

Rebekah was satisfied with Archie, she sat back comfortably. "Good boy"

Wife?

Everyone wondered whether he mistook Girlfriend for Wife. Jenna looked at him emotionally, this is what she wants! What she wanted him to do eight years ago!

"You disguised me," Archie said to Eli, as he left with Jenna, heading straight to the first floor, his personal floor.

"You see that?" Eli asked Rebekah "Our own blood sided with Sharon's family! You see that?" Frustrated, she left with her Kingsmen.

.....

Jenna pulled away from Archie's grip "First of all, you shouldn't say that to your mother" she said, she carried him for nine months no matter what.

" She made me a monster," Archie said, both annoyed and sad, surprising Jenna

Jenna glanced back at them, she followed Archie to his bedroom, feeling concerned and worried "You went through a lot" she sighed and sat on his bed gape at his bedroom, she admired Archie's sense of design, the room was enough for two families.

Jenna moved her gaze to Archie who was shamelessly undressing. In front of her, she swallowed at the sight of the well-built chest, six packs with sexy V lines that ended in his pants "Thanks for trusting me" she said seriously, distracting herself from devouring him once again.

"But you don't trust me" he replied, Jenna found the response painful and said "I did, I heard what you said to them"

Archie trapped her between his long hands by putting his hands on the bed "I saw you the moment you opened the door, that was when I said that statement, I thought you will ask me about it, who knows my gullible wife will run from that just small issue to a bigger problem, again" he said, he stood straight and changed into home wear clothes.

Jenna suddenly felt guilty, but how did he see her ... she's very sure the door doesn't make any sound. Strange...

"I don't mean to run..hum my friend got into trouble by stalking Esteban!"

" Is she still alive? You dare to have another friend?"

"You..." Jenna gritted her teeth. She almost forgot Archie is a noble version of Esteban!

Archie chuckled, which is very rare, " You replace Bruce with her, what do you think will happen to your friend if he comes back?"

"Nothing, she would be dating Esteban by then" Jenna said confidently. She didn't replace Bruce, she's just not familiar with the purple-eyed wizard.

Archie frowned, he lay down on the bed, facing the ceiling."Don't even try to matchmake them, especially if she's a good girl. His love life is very complicated"

Jenna gently crawled towards him "I knew, he's old enough to have kids" she buried her head on his chest.

Archie creased her hair, in daze "You know nothing about that part, that's why you're messing with him"

Jenna frowned and looked at him "How's helping him to find a wife considered as messing with him?"

"He doesn't just love, just like Norman, he doesn't love any other woman except you"

"Ahhh, Kelly already set her mind on Esteban, nothing can change that, I will even help her get closer to her, if she manages to make him fall again...." Jenna giggled.

"That's weird" Archie frowned. Esteban, fall in love? Ahh.

"If he ever loves again, I will wait, my revenge is compulsory"

Jenna raised a brow "Why would you do that? Wait, what will you do?" She asked nervously.

Archie smirked. "Don't think I don't know he had kissed you several times"

Jenna's heart sank. "Errr what?"

"I'm lying?"

Jenna forced a smile "Ahhh...not that...that time...ahhh!" She covered her face with her hands, embarrassed. "Esteban is intentionally messing with you, when we depart, at the airport when I come back from China, just a quick kiss," she confessed.

"Yeah, quick deep kiss, not even once but five or six, it's just a baby kiss"

Jenna's face paled, He's right, she asked no more excuses left.

Seeing her pale face, Archie chuckled, amused. He knew Esteban was crazy and felt he owned Jenna, because he met her first, he even fought him when he secretly married her, he was the one who sent him the video of him kissing Jenna, while she struggled and cursed him.

He's not blaming her, not even her fault, but he won't tolerate that. "I will deal with him later, tell me about the kids" Archie's face was serious this time.

"The oldest name is Adan, let me say your younger version.... your darker version, I think you will have many fights in the future, he's so bossy, he is one of the triplets but he's lonely and distant" she smiled.

" The second, Adian, you can easily win that one but you have to be careful around him, if he despises someone, the person will never know, making friends with him is like a trap and a death wish, because the person will never know how he dies or what kills him" Jenna said. Archie laughed in amusement, why did he feel like his kids would be his powerful weapons fashioned against his enemies, Interesting.

" Alan is the youngest, very noisy soul, she can be so mean and likes to flirt or scare her prey but she means no harm, Adian is very obsessed with her, get ready for unnecessary conversations" Jenna smiled.

Archie signed and pulled Jenna to himself" Thank you " he whispered and kissed her lips. This woman makes him feel the way he couldn't figure out.

They sucked and played with their tongues for a while, this is what they wished for.....

Some minutes later, they take a break to catch their breath. "You know Esteban is a bad boy and you let him be my son? What if he followed his step"

Jenna fakes a smile "Ahhh...my Adain is NOTHING like Esteban, he's a good kid" she laughed. 'Geez just as I thought there would be peace in my life, another war is about to occur!'

"But Archie, no matter how childish Adian acts, it's not Esteban's fault! Esteban thought him VERY well"

Archie looked at her, feeling something was off about the way she replied. And with the message Esteban sent him. "Tell, what the meaning of that?"

"Nothing! You will see it for yourself at your Award ceremony hahaha" Jenna roared in laughter and escaped from his grip, heading to the bathroom. " Adian will make you think he's a psychopath, but he's not!"

Archie froze...psycho what?
