I glanced over at the two kids, now fast asleep on the sofa. They hadn’t even made it to their beds—probably too tired from all the excitement earlier.

Then my eyes shifted to Alex, who was awkwardly trying to fit himself onto the small couch.

He looked ridiculous—but somehow endearing—squeezed into that tiny space, holding a cute little cup of coffee that Victoria had proudly prepared for him earlier.

I couldn’t help but grimace when I saw him actually take a sip from it. That coffee had gone cold a long time ago.

"It’s cold, isn’t it?" I said, my face contorting.

"If you really want coffee before you leave, I can make you a fresh one. You don’t have to force yourself to drink that."

"N-no, it’s fine," he said quickly, shaking his head. "Victoria made this for me... so I’ll finish it. It’d be a waste otherwise."

He took another gulp without hesitation.

"Wow. You’re really worried about wasting coffee, huh?" I said with a touch of sarcasm, raising an eyebrow.

He looked at me with a sm

    "W-What? W-Who are you with again?!" Alex exclaimed in disbelief."We’re with Davison. So get out of the school now before he storms in himself. Frank’s doing his best to hold him off." Carl said in an almost-whisper on the other end of the call.Alex could clearly hear Davison’s irritated voice in the background."What the heck, Frank? Why won’t you let me go inside?" Davison snapped impatiently."Man, it’s an elementary school. You can’t just barge in without even knowing where you’re going. Let’s just wait for Alex out here." Frank replied, trying to stay calm."Hey, Carl. Who are you talking to? Is that Alex?" Davison asked suspiciously."H-Haha... no, man. I’m just talking to one of my bitches..." Carl replied, then quickly turned his attention back to Alex on the phone."I’m gonna hang up. Hurry up and come out."Alex sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration before glancing over at the twins, who were now staring at him with curious eyes."Uhmm... kids, I think t

    "They don’t have a choice," Davison said coldly. "They’ve known for a long time that Gabriel isn’t my son. They just won’t admit it publicly because they don’t want to ruin their reputation."With that, he turned away and started walking toward the door.Carl and Frank exchanged a quick, uneasy glance. They couldn’t let Davison see Alex—not while Alex was with the kids right now.As Davison was about to push the door open, both Carl and Frank jumped to their feet and hurried after him."W-Wait for us, Davison! You can’t just leave us like that—we’re coming with you!" Carl called out as they caught up to him.Davison frowned. "What’s wrong with you?"Carl quickly slung an arm around his shoulder to stop him."You see, we’re bored to death here. We want to have a little fun. Why don’t you postpone your talk with Alex for now and just come with us instead? Let’s hit a bar. You know, there are plenty of pretty ladies out there waiting to entertain us. Haha."Davison scoffed and shrugged C

    "Okay, sir. Copy."Alex’s secretary said before hanging up. She immediately began typing rapidly on her computer, her fingers flying over the keyboard as if racing against a deadline. Then, she picked up her phone again and made another call.The three men in the room—Frank, Carl, and Davison—turned their attention to her."Hi, is this the director of the Integrated Community School in **** City? May I ask how much the school currently costs? The Lombardi family is interested in buying it—today."She paused, then continued."Do I sound like I’m joking? Mr. Lombardi said so himself. He’s interested in your school and is offering double the original price. He also wants the current school principal removed. So name your price—right now. The Lombardi Group will buy out all the shares, whether you like it or not."She hung up after that, then calmly returned to her work as though nothing unusual had just happened.Davison leaned forward, narrowing his eyes."I thought Alex was at his niec

    "Do you know that small community school in **** City? I want you to buy it—right now—at double the original price." Alex said calmly into his phone."W-What?.. W-Wait, Sir Alex, where are you right now?" his secretary stammered from the other end of the line."Don’t ask questions," Alex replied flatly. "Just do exactly what I said. I want that school bought today. And while you’re at it, make sure the current principal is removed from his position. I’m buying that too. Understood?"Without waiting for a response, Alex ended the call and casually slipped his phone back into his pocket, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. Then he turned to face the principal—who stood frozen, mouth slightly open in disbelief."Now that I’m buying this school. I’m still generous enough to give you a bit of time to pack up your things. Because as of today—you are no longer the principal of this institution."Gasps rippled through the small crowd. Teacher Amie, the twins, and several curious studen

    "I’m sorry for interrupting," Alfonso began calmly."But I think this conversation shouldn’t be happening out here. If you have a problem with Teacher Amie, perhaps it’s better to discuss it privately, together with the children involved. And maybe... it would help to hear the full story before jumping to conclusions."Principal Thomas’s brows furrowed even more, deep lines carving into his forehead as his irritation grew."And who are you, exactly?"He looked between the two men, sizing them up.His eyes lingered on Alfonso first, taking in his casual outfit—a simple shirt, jeans, and a paper bag in hand from an expensive restaurant. Despite the laid-back look, Alfonso exuded an unmistakable presence that couldn’t be ignored.Then the principal’s gaze shifted to Alex, who stood straight in an elegant suit that looked like it belonged on a high-end fashion runway. His presence alone was commanding and intimidating.The principal’s tense stance faltered slightly at the sight of the two

    Alfonso and Alex exchanged quiet glances as they stood near the school gates, having only planned to catch a glimpse of the twins from a distance. They never intended to be seen—much less interact with the children.But Amie, the twins’ teacher, had already seen them. Before they could turn and disappear, she was already walking toward them with a warm smile."You’re here anyway," she said kindly. "Why not come in and say hi to the twins?"The two men reluctantly followed her into the school. Still, they didn’t expect what they would walk into next.As they stepped into the hallway just outside the kids’ classroom, they were met with a typical schoolyard commotion.The twins were standing near Amie, who had rushed over the moment she saw what was happening to break up the fight. One boy stood off to the side, crying—his face red and full of tears.Christy, on the other hand, wasn’t crying. She didn’t even look flustered. She stood there, unnervingly calm. Victoria, however, was now in
