LOGINThey arrived at the Blackmore’s mansion and Andrea got out of the car with her kids.“The house looks beautiful,” Rayna said and Riva turned to her.“Aren't we supposed to be mean to them according to Mama’s board?” Riva asked and Ryan rolled his eyes.“She said be normal not mean,” Ryan replied and she chuckled.“This is me being normal,” she replied.“Wait here, if I need you I will call you,” Andrea told Nathan and he nodded in response.“Come on,” she told them and they all walked ahead of her into the house.They got into the house and met everyone in the room. They were strange faces to the kids, but Andrea recognized everyone. They were shocked except Sal, Sarah, and Mr. & Mrs. Blackmore. They were the only ones who knew they were coming. “What is this?” Allison whispered to Lewis and he shrugged a little as he looked at Andrea.“Andrea, welcome.” Mr. Blackmore said and Andrea nodded a little. “Sarah,” Rayna called and waved at her. Sarah had a proud smile as she waved back
“You’ve got three hours with them, don't take them to somewhere I wouldn't want them to be, and if anything happens, Nathan knows what to do,” Andrea told Sarah as they stood by the car and she nodded sharply. The kids were already in it.“Thank you,” she said with a smile before getting into the car with Nathan. The kids waved to their mother, and she waved back as Nathan drove out.“Where are we going?” Ryan asked and Sarah pulled out her phone.“First, an arcade, then I will take you to the best places in the city, and then show you around. We will have lunch and then… ““You have three hours with them.” Nathan cut her off and she looked at him.“Right, three hours.”“Nathan, don't scare her,” Rayna told him and Sarah smiled at her.“Thank you, Rayna. It's okay, we can make things work.” The kids spent the day with Sarah and they all had fun. She did take them around and did everything they wanted. Nathan’s watch beeped and Sarah’s three hours were finally up.“Time up, let’s go
“The Blackmores’ former bride returns at the season’s first ball with Quadruplets after eight years.” Nina read as she stood in front of Sal in the living room. He wasn't paying attention to her. “Oh, here is one about you.” “Sal Blackmore looks shocked to see his ex-wife and her kids.” she read. “And it has your picture underneath with a long caption explaining how you almost lost your shit staring at her,” Nina said. “Oh, here is another one. The Blackmore brothers’ ex-wife returns with the kids. Which brother do the kids belong to?” she read again and Sal kept ignoring her. Nina kept staring at him, waiting for a response but he was too focused on his phone. She had no idea what he was doing. “It's the family dinner tonight and my mother is in the city which means she will be present. You'd better have an explanation for this and get your shit together,” she added as she picked up her bag. She doesn't want to yell or start an argument. She could recall how he ye
THE NEXT DAY“Is it safe?” Rayna asked as she stared at the little robot toy Aaron brought for each of them.“Who cares?” Ryan chuckled and picked up the controller. “Riva, I bet I can get better at this than you,” Ryan told her and she chuckled, picking up her controller and robot. “We are going to race with it. The winner has to do whatever the other wants for a week.” Riva said and Ryan chuckled. “You are on,” he replied and they both ran to another part of the house.Aaron smiled then looked at Rayna.“It's safe, Rayna,” he told her and she smiled before picking it up and then rushing after Ryan and Riva.Aaron looked at Riven who was seated on the couch and reading a book. “Riven,” he called and Riven looked up at him.“Do you want to play with it?” he asked stretching his hand to him and Riven slowly dropped the book and walked to him. He took it from Aaron and stared at it. “How do you build one?” he asked softly and Aaron smiled.“It takes a lot of time and a lot of peo
EIGHT YEARS AGOAndrea heard a gunshot and she breathed heavily in tears, waiting for her to fall and die but nothing happened. She thought she was already dead and that was what death felt like. Ste was too scared to open her eyes; she was too scared of what she would see. She suddenly heard laughter and she slowly opened her eyes to see the men laughing at her.She exhaled heavily, not in relief that she might be set free but that she did not die. “Killing her will be a waste. We should sell her. She has great skin and she will be worth much more than we got paid to get rid of her.” One of them said and Andrea sniffed.“Sell her?” she thought. “We were given a job to get rid of her. We can't let her go.” the taxi driver said.“We are getting rid of her by selling her.” The one who suggested selling her said and they all argued about it for a few minutes. During the process, Andrea thought about running then realized she wouldn't make it. They will kill her. “The Albanian slav
“Why is everyone staring at us like that?” Ryan asked Andrea as she stared down at them.“You guys look great, that’s why,” she said and Riva raised her brows.“Really? They look like they are about to pass out,” she said and Andrea chuckled. “Come on,” she told them and led them to an empty table. She helped them sit on the chairs with everyone staring at them.“So what happens now?” Riva asked, looking around.“A ball,” Andrea replied with a smile.“Oh my God, oh my God.” Sarah kept muttering repeatedly and the Blackmores couldn't stop staring at them.Daniel kept looking at the kids then at Sal. Sal was still in shock and he couldn't stop staring.“I know I am not seeing things. Are you seeing what I am seeing?” Daniel whispered to Sarah who was next to him and she gulped a little before nodding. Mr. Blackmore cleared his throat and got his family's attention.“Enough of the stares,” he told them but Sal couldn't stop staring at them. He was frozen. “Babe,” Nina called softly an
