Chapter 6: Alexis!

Natasha drove to the kindergarten, she waited outside the school environs, her eyes gazing at her wrist watch every now and then.

She gazed at the school entrance, a huge grin plastered across her face when she saw her two slim yet adorable twins running towards her.

Their hair flowed as they ran towards her, when they saw her, she patted their heads in an adorable manner.

"How was school?" She directly asked her twins with a smile.

Niccy stared at nothing in particular, she rubbed her palms together and pointed indirectly at her twin brother.

"Mother, Nikky got into a fight today at school," She yawned, trying to catch the look that was supposed to appear on her mother's face.

Natasha was startled, with widened eyes, what has her son done now? He was always out casuing trouble, and sometimes, she wondered. Did her son really take over her?

"What? Nikky, what did I always tell you?" Her tone was scolding enough, with her hands crossed together.

The little boy seemed to rub his hand together, trying clearly not to look into his mother's eyes.

He tried hugging her by the feet, trying the best to look so cute, "But mother, that proud girl called us fatherless children,"

What? oh my? Natasha's heart pounded in fear, this was the only thing she so much detested. Her heart missed a beat.

"Is that true Niccy?" She turned over to her daughter; and she nodded vigorously.

She sighed, before leading her children to a bench that was right across the bus.

"Mother, what ever happened to father?" Nikky popped the question she had always feared, her heart pounded in great distress.

"You father is working for you guys comfort, he sends us money occasionally," She smiled, trying her best to make it look real, but damn it wasn't working, they was gazing at her intently, their eyes seeming to be scanning her every reaction.

The twins studied her for a brief moment trying their best to catch whether she was lying, they knew she was lying and so they didn't press further.

"Mother," Nikky held her hand comfortably, she forced a smile, trying to act strong, she smiled.

"Who did you get into a fight with?" She asked, looking at him.

"Her name was Emily, and she started it first," Nikky let it all out, he was angry and that was for sure.

How can a girl named Emily come out of nowhere and start insulting him, why? just because he had no father? ridiculous.

"Why didn't you handle the case like I told you?" She was disappointed in her son.

And for the first time, Niccy spoke out in distress, "It isn't his fault mother, the girl was harsh and too rude."

Natasha just nodded her head vigorously, what could she say? The only thing she could do was sigh heavily.

In another part of the school, Alexis stood there, clinking her high heels impatiently, she seemed to be waiting for her children.

She was impatient and needed to get to the salon to fix her nails, her mind traveled to the conservation she had with her brother.

Why was Alec so stubborn-headed? she wondered, now she was thinking of what she was going to say to her mother?

Her only aim now was to make Alec get married to Haylee since she was coming back from abroad soon.

Her mind traveled to Natasha, Alec's ex wife, she wondered what she was up to now? probably married now. She snickered in her mind.

She hated Natasha with all her mind, and besides, she never fit into their class, so it was mandatory to say that she was glad when they divorced.

Her face brightened a little when she saw her kids walking over to her, a little smile spread across her face.

"Emily, Henry, how was school?" She asked indirectly, staring at them from head to toe.

Henry, her thirteen year old son, just waved it off, "It was fine, can we go home now?" He asked her.

Emily was angry about all that happened in her class today, how dare Nikky openly insult her?

She tried hiding her wounds from her mother; cause she knew of how demanding her mother could be.

Alexis stared at her daughter briefly, trying to study her, something must be up with her, she was behaving really weird.

Her eyes caught her daughter's wounds which she was trying to hide with her sleeves.

"What are you doing?" She rolled her daughter's sleeves in a swift and stared bewildered at the wounds on her daughter's arm.

"What happened?" She asked, her blood boiling in anger.

"I was injured." She tried to act like the victim, covering her eyes in a shy manner.

"What? by who?" Alexis flared up immediately, her eyes burned with anger.

"His name is Nikky," She stared blankly.

"Where is he now?" She asked angrily.

Emily's eyes studied around briefly until it landed on a bench, she pointed her hand.

"There he is!" She exclaimed.

"I will be in the car," Henry, walked up to his mother's BMW that was parked neatly in a side.

"I don't know what right he has to injure up my daughter," Alexis pulled her daughter to where Nikky was.
