(Inside Mateo's room, he was sitting on his bed while Tyler, Taylor and Tessa were playing with the new toy games that Mateo got for them).
"What's taking them so long?". Mateo wondered, checking the wrist watch he wore in his hand.It was already more than 2 hours since Alexander and Mina left for the hospital, and they were not yet back, so he was pretty worried that Mina's sickness was severe."Big brother Mateo, are you thinking about my mommy and daddy?". Tyler questioned, he could already read what was going on in Mateo's mind."Of course, it has been 2 hours already, I'm worried. They didn't even bother to call". Mateo replied.He wasn't focused on having fun with Tyler, Taylor and Tessa when he hadn't heard any news from Alexander and Mina."Mateo, is that really you?". Deborah opened the door to Mateo's room before she asked.She arrived around 4 minutes ago, and since she didn't see the kids or either Mina in their rooms, she decided to just check Mateo's own room just in case, so she was surprised to see that Mateo had already returned."Yes mother, it sure is me". Mateo instantly rose up from his bed to give his mother a hug and greetings, after that, his mind was fully focused back on his phone. He was expecting someone to call him already."Grandma". Tessa, Tyler and Taylor also welcomed Deborah."My beautiful angels, just as cute as ever". Deborah smiled sweetly at her grandchildren and said, before watching them go ahead to focus on playing with their new toys."What's wrong, son?. You seemed distracted a lot…. Did something bad happen?". Deborah placed her right hand on Mateo's left shoulder as she questioned, also demanding an answer from him."That's not it, mother. It's about Mina"."That's right, I haven't been able to find her since I arrived. Did she perhaps go somewhere?". Deborah asked."I guess you're not really aware after all". Deborah furrowed her brows at Mateo since she didn't understand what his words meant at all."Okay then". Mateo kept his phone aside in his trouser's pocket, before staring at Deborah. "Mina is sick, and big brother immediately just rushed her to the hospital without saying anything. It has been more than 2 hours already, and I'm worried since they haven't yet called". He explained."Wait, what do you mean that Mina is sick?. You only returned back home today, and I've been around for a while now, how come I didn't know about that?". Deborah was surprised and in disbelief.Mina was sick the whole time and she wasn't even aware, but Mateo who just returned home just today already found out. Deborah was a little sad with herself for being a bad mother in-law for not noticing about Mina."We're sorry, Grandma. Mommy said we shouldn't tell anyone about her sickness, so we couldn't tell you. But this morning, it got worse so we decided to tell big brother Mateo about it when he arrived". Tyler stopped playing with Taylor and Tessa to come and explain everything to Deborah."Oh dear, I've been a terrible Mother to my dear Mina for not noticing about this". Deborah gently placed her hand on her forehead as she spoke out."Sorry Grandma, it's not your fault. It's ours, for not telling you about our mommy". Tyler apologised on behalf of himself, Taylor and Tessa."It's alright my dear. But which hospital did Alexander take her to?. Wait, Alexander is already back from his trip?". It was at this moment Deborah realised about Alexander."Of course he's back, Mother. But he never mentioned the hospital that he took her to. That's why I'm worried". Mateo explained. He brought out his phone from his pocket to check if he had any new messages, but he got disappointed a little since the most new messages on his cellphone were all about congratulating him on his great movie role that he played."Come on, I know just the person for the job". Deborah announced, confusing Mateo. "Wait, don't tell me you've already forgotten about Jake?". Deborah asked in a surprised tone."That's right, Jake. I never thought of him". Mateo shook his head and laughed out a little. "Gosh, I totally forgot about him. If anyone could locate where Alexander is, it's Jake of course". He admitted. "Come on kids, let's get to Jake and then to the hospital asap to meet your mommy and daddy". Mateo added.Soon after saying that, they all left Mateo's bedroom to find Jake whereabout.……3 hours already passed and finally, Tina already woke up.She tied her pink hair into a messy bun as soon as she got up from bed.But even after sleeping for long, she was still tired as hell. So she brewed coffee for herself and drank before relaxing on her living room sofa and switching on the large TV set."Gosh, must he ruin everything for me?". She hissed and complained because the first movie that displayed on her TV as soon as she switched it on was the one Mateo and her featured in."That's right, I better go check myself up…. I can't give any chance of something bad happening to me".Since she was still wearing her black dress, she just had to wear her black boots before leaving her apartment.She aimed to go to the hospital to check herself up because of what Mateo did to her.(The hospital, Mina was sitting on the white VIP bed while Alexander sat beside her, not leaving her side)."I'm really pregnant". Mina muttered softly to herself, staring at Alexander while her hands were busy touching her flat stomach. "This is not a prank, right?". She asked again to confirm since she didn't exactly believe what Alexander informed her about earlier. He told her that he only lied about his impotent to create a fake happiness for his late uncles. "I'd never lie to you ever again". Alexander assured her, placing a deep kiss on her lips. "You better not…. Or…. Or I'm not going to let you kiss me anymore". With a blushing face, Mina threatened her hubby. Alexander only smiled at her before removing the strands of hair that slightly covered her face."Sure darling". He replied before the door to the VIP room swung open. "Our kids? How are they here". Mina was just about to ask how Tyler, Taylor and Tessa got here by themselves when she saw Mateo, Deborah and Jake th
Mateo didn't have the energy to have a never ending conversation with Tina, so he chose to ignore her instead and left. Tina raised her brows and scoffed at Mateo seeing him leave without saying anything. "What's up with him?. He should be glad that someone like me even bothered to talk to him". "He should be glad that he didn't remember what he did to me last night, if not, I wouldn't have just let him off easily like this". Tina added, adjusting her dress before heading towards the 2D VIP room, where the doctor of her appointment was going to meet with her. "What is she even doing here?". Mateo muttered. He hid himself at a corner and watched Tina until the last second she entered the 2D room. He was damn curious to know what she was doing here even though it was against his own will. "Why must I be curious about someone as rude and stubborn as her?". Mateo couldn't help but wonder while he gently shook his head in disbelief of himself. It wasn't that long before Mateo spotted
"A month?". Mateo questioned again to confirm what Alexander just announced to him. "Does that mean I'm now in charge of taking care of the kids?". Mateo thought to himself, he was so looking forward to this already. "Just don't overdo things. I won't be coming back to the Mansion soon, so behave". Alexander glared at Mateo as he warned. Mateo gulped his saliva down his throat hard before hurrying Alexander to go back to the room where Mina was. "Sure sure, no need to worry about me handling things when I already got it under control"."I'm sure you know the consequences if you mess up little brother?". Alexander held the door knob and was staring at Mateo as he reminded him. "Of course, how could I ever forget about that". Without blinking his eyes, Mateo spoke."Good". Alexander said before opening and heading inside the room. "Phew". Mateo cleaned the sweat that formed on his forehead seeing that Alexander was already gone. After that, it was now the time for him to leave the
Tina was in such a bad mood that she didn't even let Jaden in her apartment after his multiple trials of pressing the door ring bell.The voice of that person was still stuck in her head, leaving her in a really bad mood and the past memories she had already forgotten were now playing all over in her head, causing her to experience the feelings of pain and resentment towards that particular person she hates."That b*stard, why did he have to remember me all of a sudden?. I'll kill him!". She roared out angrily, heading towards her bathroom to take a shower. She has spent more than 1 hour reflecting that she didn't even realise it until now. Getting inside the bathroom, she pulled off her dress and stood under the shower before switching it on. As the cold water poured on her skin, she didn't even groan nor flinch, but rather, she remained stiff, her eyes filled with only hatred. "Since you dare to call me, Father…. You must really need something from me this time". She thought to h
Tina's apartment was close to the falling petals park, she arrived in 10 minutes since she trekked from her apartment all the way here. "This place is just as beautiful as ever". She softly muttered and complimented, her right hand stretched forward to grab a piece of the falling pink petals. "This one is mommy's favourite". She inhaled the sweet fragrance coming from the petals before blowing it away. Next up, she spotted a familiar bench, the familiar special bench that held many memories of the past. This bench has been there since even before her Mother died. Tina walked over and sat down while she enjoyed the nice view of the park. Since it was already evening, there weren't many people present at the park. "Now being here actually makes me happy". She muttered to herself calmly and shut both her eyes while the cool breeze did the trick, she didn't even know the minute she slept off on the bench.About 30 minutes later, she woke up and checked the time on her phone, it was ju
It was 7am in the morning and Mateo already woke up since he was used to waking up early. He decided that today he'd be the one in charge to take Tyler, Taylor and Tessa to their school because of the feeling that he was the one responsible for taking care of them, well, until Mina and Alexander returned back. "Let's get going quickly or you kids are going to be late for school". Mateo announced. After he collected his car key from Deborah, he led the kids to where his car was parked.In no time, he drove off from the Mansion.About 5 minutes later…."Oh gosh, I didn't even check the car, it's running out of gas….". He hissed and said. "I should have driven the other car". Mateo filed a complaint."No need to worry at all, big brother Mateo. Look over there, it's a filling station". Tyler announced while pointing his index finger towards the direction of the filling station. He was sitting in the front seat with Mateo, so he had a better view advantage.Mateo sighed in relief after
"What took you three so long, big brother Mateo? We're going to get late to school". Tyler was glad when he saw that they already returned from the building. "Huh?. What's wrong with your face, big brother Mateo?....". Tyler turned to stare at Taylor and Tessa. "Did something happen there?". He questioned them, but Tessa immediately gave him an eye sign which he understood instantly and stopped questioning. "Nevermind me". Tyler stated before putting on the seatbelt he had earlier removed from his chest.For a second, Mateo wanted to check out his face using the side mirror of his car, but after opening the back door for Tessa and Taylor to get in the car, he totally forgot about it. Since everyone already settled in the car, Mateo also got in and he drove off to the school where he left Tyler, Taylor and Tessa before he returned back to the Mansion. ……"I'm here, finally".Taking a deep breath in and out, Tina made her way down from her car. She didn't immediately make her way ins
"You're right, Tina. I wouldn't have indeed bothered to call you if I didn't have any trouble at hand. But as my first daughter, it's your responsibility to help me resolve this trouble". Elrod announced. Although his face was naturally pale, those pairs of his warm light grey eyes he used to stare at Tina the moment she entered his office turned cold and expressionless, just like he'd always stare at her before. "Now that's the Elrod I know". Fearlessly, Tina announced after seeing the sudden changes in Elrod's face after effect of the words she spoke. "Even though you want to deny this fact, you're still my first child that I raised, and for that, it's your responsibility to marry Mr Addams for our family's sake to secure our company from going bankrupt". Listening to Elrod's words almost caused Tina to burst out into great laughter because of how selfish Elrod is. Just like she had thought, something was really off, now she finally understands why he took the courage and calle
