Aviana and Hayden sat on the sofa, making fun as they recalled their funniest childhood memories, while Joana busied herself in the kitchen.
"Sis, do you recall the day when you farted in public? And when you realized people were looking at you, you covered your face with your hands to hide your embarrassment. It was hilarious," said Hayden, trying so hard not to laugh. In the end, he couldn't hold his laughter any longer. He laughed uncontrollably. Recalling that day, Aviana laughed too. It was one of her most embarrassing moments.
"That day I really didn't mean to. I had stomach upset and you know it," she said trying to defend herself. As Hayden continued to laugh, Aviana got annoyed. Seeing her roll up her sleeves threateningly, Hayden was just about to stop laughing when she suddenly launched forward and started tickling him under his little armpits.
"You mess with your sister, you get the tickster! The infamous killer who kills cute little kids like you by tickling them!"
Finally putting behind the bad moments during the last few days, Aviana laughed menacingly while continously tickling her little brother despite his continuous protests. The comfort that came from a family and home was truly something else, she thought, while her baby brother started to beg her to stop because his sides were starting to hurt because of laughing too much and hard. As she watched the happy sight through the wide kitchen window, Joanna smiled briefly before getting back to preparing the meal. For a moment, she thought of her dear husband. If he were here, they would be a complete happy family. She missed him so much.
"Honey, I miss you so much. There's no day that passes by that I don't think about you. Hayden and Aviana, they've grown so quickly. I wish you were here, honey," she mumbled to herself , tears threatening to flow. Aviana and Hayden stopped laughing as soon as they smelt the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen.
"Dinner is served, "Joanna's voice echoed in the dining room. They breathed in the delightful mix of aromas simultaneously as they ran towards the dining table and took their seat each. On the table, there was roasted spicy chicken, potato wedges, fried rice, which was one of their favorite dishes. There was also a whole fried fish and some mix-meat stew. Joanna had definitely weighed in on the choice of food here,as these were their favorite foods since childhood.
The food was cooked to perfection. Aviana took a plate at the side and served herself some roasted spicy chicken with potato wedges and fried rice. Hayden and Joanna seemed to mimick Aviana as they served themselves some chicken and fried rice. Aviana was really starving, so when she bit into some of the chicken, her eyes glistened with joy as she relished the soft meat and the flavor that hit her with a clang. Stuffing her mouth too much, Aviana complemented,
"Wow! This food is so delicious! I haven't eaten such delicious food in days! I missed your cooking so much, mum." Joanna smiled. Watching her stuff too much food into her mouth, she didn't scold her rather she was glad. Her daughter was back to her old self.
Unlike Aviana, Hayden was more like a gentleman. He took measured bites. Glancing at his sister he couldn't help but question, "Sis, why are you stuffing your mouth too much? You might get choked, you know."
Aviana was overcome with a warm feeling but what he said next stupefied both the mother and the daughter.
"Besides, you'll consume the whole food even before I'm close to being satisfied," said Hayden.
Am I eating too much? She couldn't help but think to herself, as she frowned a little. Well...like they always say, the stomach is the way to a woman's heart, she thought, as she shrugged her shoulders, but she didn't stuff too much food into her mouth any more. She ate like the lady she is.
After they were done with the food, Aviana assisted her mother in clearing the table and retired to their respective rooms. Upstairs, there were three bedrooms, of which one was a children's room which was decorated with bold and vibrant colors, of course, it belonged to Hayden. The other one was for guests, whereas the last one was a master bedroom. Joanna's knees weren't as strong as they used to be, so she had been assigned the room on the bottom floor. Aviana, of course chose the master bedroom. She jumped on the bed to experience the softest mattress she had never seen in her life. It was as if she was floating on a cloud as the God of sleep was hovering around her, enticing her to sleep. But, sleep was miles and miles away from her.
Aviana lay on the bed while she gazed at the ceiling, completely immersed in her own thoughts. So many thoughts were running through her mind, as she wondered why he had given them such a valuable villa? in the name of an apartment? Who was he? Aviana didn't know.
"Ethan Urkel," she echoed his name several times, as if doing that would make her get a clue of who he really is. And, as if she thought of an incredible idea, Aviana quickly sat up on the bed. She picked up her phone which she had placed on the table and began to browse through the internet searching through for his name. His name suddenly appeared. She didn't know why, but she had been holding her breath the whole time she were searching through for his name.
She read through the details and she got to know that he is the Ceo of the well known G&K company. It turned out, he was very rich after all, that's why he could afford to give them a villa in the name of an apartment.
Aviana didn't bother to go through the details anymore. She placed her phone back on the table and got on the bed before tucking herself into the warmth of the blanket. She soon fell into a deep slumber.
Chloe's phone's ringing, picking up, she answers, "Hello Ann." On the other side of the phone, Ann's voice is heard, speaking. "Chloe, you were right. Indeed something happened that day. On that day, Ethan was involved in an accident....." Before she could finish her statement, she was interrupted by chloe's panicked voice, "What! An accident! How! Where! But I didn't notice any injury on any part of his body! Oh Ann, I'm so stupid! How could I have judged him so quickly! How could I jump into conclusion! I f**cked up Ann! And to think that he has another woman! Ann, I really think I should apologize! I don't even know if he'll forgive me! I messed up, big time!" Ann was speechless. She didn't even allow her to finish whatever she was saying, she just jumped into conclusions. After a long pause, Ann finally spoke,"Chloe, calm down! Nothing happened to Ethan. He's fine. Yes, he was involved in an accident, but he isn't the one who got hur
Aviana woken up by the smell of freshly baked cupcakes, without even opening her eyes, her head rose automatically from her bed, while her nose sniffed along the direction in which the smell was coming from. A moment later, she stopped at the entrance of the kitchen. Her nose was buried in a soft and warm substance. Still groggy, Aviana moved up and immediately started munching on the substance after realizing that it was actually the vanilla chocolate-flavored cupcakes she loved since childhood. "Hey, drool face! Why don't you wake up first and then you can continue eating? I pinky swear I won't disturb your nose's impression in the cupcake!" Hearing those words and the chuckle that came along with the words, Aviana suddenly opened her eyes to see Hayden standing in front of her who was holding the cupcakes she were messily eating to her face. He was wearing a chef's apron, small in size, and which had stains of flour on it, and his black hair was an organized mess. His fai
Jenny, the receptionist, sat on the armchair, twisting her head quizzically, thinking of what next to do. Suddenly, as if she recalled something, she jerked forward, picking her phone and made a call. As soon as the call went through, Jenny spoke immediately, "Hello ma'am, are you kind of busy? You see, there is something that you need to know. Could you please go somewhere private? I really don't want any other person to hear what I'm about to say. I could get into big trouble if it goes around." She had heard from the other side, people shouting. It seemed the woman was in a bar. When she heard the woman's footsteps and the noise fading off, Jenny relaxed. "Okay, I'm already outside, away from the others. Say what you have to say, Jenny and allow me get back to having fun with my friends." After a prolonged silence, Jenny finally spoke, "Ma'am, a certain woman went into boss Ethan's office just now! And with the way she is dressed, she doesn't have class at all! I
Beverly hills The area around the sofa was crammed with bottles, cans and more bottles of alcohol. Small green flasks of gin, large clear bottles of absolut vodka, broken maroon bottles of whisky, assorted cans of bitter beer, a few saffron colored bottles of white wine and empty-handed bottles of intoxicating red wine. They formed a small structure around the sofa. Jayden stepped inside the living room. The first thing that hit him was that overpowering scent of alcohol, and the scent had already clung into his nosestrils. Had she been drinking? Again? Jayden had feared that this would happen, but now, anger had replaced his fear. He was angry because his sister had succumbed to the powerful attraction of alcohol. Angry because she had completely become an alcoholic. Angry because she had ignored the fact that she wasn't an ordinary person, but an Anderson for that matter. Drinking wasn't allowed. And here she was, sitting on the floor, drinking herself to dea
Stanley ordered the servants to serve the dishes. The urkel's sat on the table and began to enjoy the meal. It was a sumptuous feast on the family day. The Urkel's cook had served as an executive chef at the Michelin three-star restaurant in Spain and was hired by Old Urkel when he returned home. On the table, Mr Urkel asked, glancing at Ethan, "Why didn't you bring Chloe with you?" Ethan remained quiet. Susan, who had been quiet spoke, at this time. "Ethan, I heard that you broke up with Chloe because of another woman, is it true?" As she pushed out these words, she glanced at Mr Urkel to see his reaction, an evil grin appearing across her face. She had brought up the question knowing fully well that Old Urkel, her husband, would immediately be angry. She did it intentionally. As soon as he heard what Susan said, he roared, his voice trembling due to anger, "Is it true?" Ethan still remained silent and continued to eat as if he hadn't heard the questio
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, she speaks up, "Actually, I cleaned up your room earlier when you weren't at home, and may have re-arranged everything," As she pushes out the last words, her voice starts trailing off, as she feels guilty about it. "I placed them on your desk," she continues as she points to the direction where she placed them. Jayden isn't angry at all, instead he responds by forming an 'O' shape with his lips.He heads to the door and before he closes it, he says to Chloe, "I won't be back this night! Be a good girl as always!" He blows her a kiss. With a wide smile across her face, she responds, "Okay, I will. Take care of yourself."After she is sure he has gone, she picks up her phone and dials Ann's number. "Can we meet up? Yes! Yes! Yes! I know! I will explain everything to you at the coffee shop, 59th street! Okay, see you there!" She takes this opportunity to meet up with Ann. Opportunities like this are hard to come by, and if they do, it's
7:00am Aviana wakes up to the alarm snoozing. Without even opening her eyes, she heads to the bathroom and bangs the door closed. A moment later, she walks out of the bathroom dressed only in a bathrobe while combing her hair and at the same time brushing her teeth. Today, she wore a cream-colored blouse over a similar pencil skirt which is brown and matches with her cream high-heeled shoes. She ties her hair into a sleek pony tail, although her hair isn't considerably less glossy than before because she hadn't had the time to do it up. Walking to the entrance of the dining room, a pleasant smell of freshly baked pancakes hits her nose. On the table, there were fried eggs, pancakes, hot cereal and some warm milk. Her mother had really weighed in on the choice of food here. These were the healthiest meals for breakfast,as the protein in eggs helped maintain and repair body tissues, also necessary for brain and nervous system to function effectively while milk, still a protein
"Please," said Devin as he bend slightly, his hand currently stretched out as he directed her in. Taking one last deep breath, Aviana walked forward confidently before entering the office of the highest-paid CEO in the world. As the door closed behind her, Aviana finally laid her eyes on Mr Ethan Urkel. Standing on the window, his back to her, Aviana sighed as she slowed her pace. With his striking icy-blue eyes which reminded her of the beautiful sight of sun rays brilliantly reflecting off of the surface of the sea, he turned and looked deep into her eyes. His fair face looked almost pale, but his athletic body which could be seen due to his perfectly fitting 3-piece suit signified that this was a man whose body was at the peak of human condition.His glossy black hair was combed back neatly, while his high cheekbones and sharp jaw gave his face a musculine look that would make anyone turn back to take a second glance. The straight, thin lips and the slightly sharp-pointed
