RESEMBLANCES

“Aunt Vivian, you look really beautiful!” Hazel approached the blonde woman with a huge smile on her face.

“Thank you, little angel. You’re looking beautiful today as well.” She returned the compliment before turning her attention to the boys.

“Ah, my handsome princes, you’re here as well.” She greeted them.

“Yes, we even brought some gifts for you.” Henry grabbed the suitcase and placed it beside her. Vivian’s smile brightened.

“Thank you so much, you didn’t have to.” She replied.

Vivian Davison was a famous plastic surgeon in Washington D.C who mostly handled facial reconstruction of people who had suffered from accidents or severe injuries.

Several years ago, Selena came to her to have her face reconstructed and ever since then, they maintained a good relationship with each other beyond business.

She was touched by Selena’s story. The two of them were the same age and their personality was compatible, they ended up being best friends.

Even though she was not biologically related to Selena, their friendship was strong enough that the children were taught to call her Aunt Vivian.

After entertaining the kids, she turned her attention to Selena.

“Selena, it has been a while. So tell me, have you found yourself a suitor?” She asked.

“Vivian, I’ve told you already, I just want to focus on the kids right now.” Selena replied.

“Selena, girl! You promised me a few years ago when we were in Milan that you were going to find yourself a handsome and wealthy man. You’re beautiful, intelligent, talented and such an amazing mother. Any man would be lucky to have you!” She complimented and scolded her at the same time.

“I know, it’s just, I don’t find anyone interesting enough right now.”

“Oh really? Then, do you want me to introduce you to someone? I know a few men, And trust me they are very wealthy, you won't have any problem being with them at all.”

“Is money all they have?”

“Of course not! They also have decent personalities, reputation and good family background. Most are not shabby looking. Just give me a call when you want and I’ll arrange it for you.”

Before she could reply, there was a knock on the door. One of the wedding party staff entered the room with a worried expression.

“Ma’am, there is an issue with the decoration, could you please come and check it?” He asked Selena who was responsible for the event planning.

“Hm? Okay, give me a minute.” She turned to her children.

“Harper, Harrison,Henry, Hazel, mama have some things she needs to do, you just stay here with Aunt Vivian, okay?” The three children nodded and Selena left the room.

The kids were lounging around in the room with Vivian when Hazel suddenly pouted as she touched her stomach.

“Brothers, I’m hungry.” She said,

“Hm, me too!” Henry replied and the sounds of grumbling were heard in the air. And Harrison smirks.

“Babies, are you hungry? Do you want me to ask someone to fetch food for you?” Vivian asked.

“No, we’ll just go out by ourselves and meet mama after we eat.” The four children said before they took each other’s hand and walked out of the room.

They headed to the banquet hall where food was present. Since they were not creating awareness, no one really paid any attention to them.

They grabbed some of the unattended side dishes, little meat dishes and dessert, eating them by the corner of the room with a bright and happy face.

As they were eating, they had a chat with each other.

“The oil guy, Lucas, has not replied to my message until now. I clearly told him that if he ignored me, I would blow up one of his pipelines. Guess he took it lightly.” Harper said as he took a bite of the meat from the skewer.

“Geez, Harper, you are so scary. If it was Harrison, he would probably suggest something lighter. Like hacking his computer and I'm sure Henry will suggest something like giving him the wrong medication.” Hazel replied.

“Yes, who knows if he has something on it that we could use against him?” Harrison affirmed.

“And who knows if an injection to make him paralyze for a few minutes will scare him” Henry added as he continued eating.

The Four children were discussing the most brutal scenarios with cute and innocent faces.

No one would believe they were only Six years old if they were to listen to this conversation. As they were busy eating, a tall figure was watching them from afar.

It was Alexander Lancaster. He was tall, around 6 feet 5inch with broad shoulders and a slender but muscular body. He had black hair and deep blue eyes. He had an aura of sophistication and power. Clearly a man one would think twice before messing with.

“Those children, why do they look really familiar?” His attention was mostly focused on the boy in the blue suit and the one with the red suit. They looked so much like him, it was terrifying. And the girl, she looked a lot like Selena.

Harper noticed that they were being watched and turned his attention to Alexander. The other siblings’ gaze followed.

“That man is Alexander Lancaster, isn’t he?” Harrison said.

“Yeah, he is.” Harper stared at Alexander with a displeased gaze.

“isn't he not always on the new channels?” Henry asked.

“I don't know him,” Hazel replied.

“Come on, let’s go.” Harper grabbed the hand of his siblings and dragged them to the other side of the room where Selena was.

“Darling, what’s wrong?” Chloe placed her palm on Alexander’s shoulder, bringing his attention back to reality.

“It’s nothing.” He replied. She was not too convinced but she didn’t care as much as well. She placed her hand on his arms and smiled.

“The party is about to start, let’s go.” She said,

“Alright, After you”
