"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
Tina came out from the building, but right after she stared at it, she suddenly recalled why she came here in the first place. She came here to take revenge and claim her Mother's Company back.Thinking about this, she wanted to return back in, but again, since she heard herself from the horse's mouth that the Company was going bankrupt, she decided it was going to be fun to just sit and watch what was going to happen. She spotted her black Rolls-Royce's car just right where she parked it and entered.She started the car and drove forward before a sudden someone came out of the blues and stood at the front of the way, causing her feet to hit on the brakes immediately."You really have to be kidding me". Tina had to come down from her car after she saw who the person was."What now?. Are you so eager to die with the help of my car?". Tina questioned Bella in annoyance. "You can't leave. I won't let you leave here until you agree to what our Father requested from you. You must agree
"I don't understand. What's the meaning of this?. This is totally not what you and I discussed on the phone when you called". Mateo reminded David who stood behind him. Before he instantly shifted away from Tina's side and stared at David, his manager, who avoided staring back at him with his face showing a hint of guilt. "I had to. Honestly, believe me when I admit you won't come if I had told the truth from the start". David tried to sound funny when he explained, but it wasn't funny enough to get Mateo nor Tina smile a little. "Tada. I bet you were surprised, right?". David questioned, but was totally ignored by Mateo who focused his attention on Tina. She was giving him a 'What are you looking at, dude' look, combined with a scorn expression. Seeing that Mateo didn't stop staring at her for a minute, she spoke out her mind. "Aren't you done staring at me?. You might as well ask me to sit if you wish to continue". "Ahem". He faked an obvious cough before mustering up his cou
The red range rover car drove inside the school premises before it stopped and he came out of it. As expected and to his horror, he didn't see any kids dressed in their uniforms running on the field, or even in their classes. The only person he saw present was the security guard who was already planning to shut the school gate before he drove in. Mateo walked up to the security guard."Hey my guy. Please, do you happen to know where all the kids went?. I'm here to pick up my niece and nephews". With a sweating face, he asked an obvious question even when he was aware that school was closed at 2pm. "Are you sure you're at the right place, sir?. Because if not, I'm sure you're aware the school closes at 2pm. And this is past 4pm. Please sir, I'll have to ask you to leave so I can do my job. I have to shut the school's ga….". The security guard didn't get to finish his words when he finally recognized who was standing in his presence. "You're…. You're…. You're". He was pointing at M
"Well well well, young man. I believe you're the most responsible son on the planet". Deborah teased. But in a serious way. She turned to face Tessa and her brothers. "Here you go my sweeties. Eat more fruits. It's good for your health". She put more sliced apples on their plates before standing up from her seat to stand in front of Mateo. Deborah's hands were crossed on her chest as she questioned Mateo. "What do you have to say for yourself now?".Tessa slightly giggled. Her left hand snaked around Tyler's neck since he was sitting next to her. "I think big brother Mateo is going to be in trouble". She whispered to Tyler's ear, after noticing the tense atmosphere between Grandma Deborah and Mateo."Thanks for the information, Tessa". Tyler gently removed her hand from his neck. "But I already noticed that". He admitted. "But, shouldn't we help him out? He looks like he really needs our help". Tyler added seeing the difficult spot Mateo is in. And how difficult it was for him to
After dinner Mateo retired to his bedroom in defeat. He pulled off his sweaty clothes and went inside his bathroom where he brushed his teeth for the second time and took his bath. Wearing his night wear with a wet white towel in his hand, he came out from the bathroom. Fully prepared to go to bed. "I'm so exhausted. I need to sleep". He stopped drying off his hair with the towel in his hand and threw it by the side of his wardrobe before laying on his waterbed mattress. "Mmh. Now I feel a little relief". He shut his eyes, ready to sleep when the creaking of his door woke him back up. He stared at the direction of the door. "You kids?. Aren't you three supposed to be in bed by now? I thought my Mother put you guys to bed". Mateo questioned. He sat up and watched Tyler, Taylor and Tessa. They made their way where he was and sat with him on his waterbed. Tyler scratches his head while he speaks. "Em. We felt bad for you about what happened earlier. That's why we're here. Bu
It was already Saturday morning. Tina Katz was already up from bed. She brushed her teeth and took her bath.She wore a light blue loose trouser with a pink shirt and went out from her bedroom, heading straight to her kitchen where she made herself scrambled eggs with pancakes."Mmm…. It looks so good!. I bet it'd taste really delicious in my mouth". She took the plates of food to the dining room, after which she placed them on the table. Before helping herself with one of the seats surrounding the table.Tina ate to her satisfaction until the three plates of food were empty. She took the plates straight to the dishwasher and washed them before returning to the living room."Ooo. Let's see what's going on today".Tina suddenly said. She switched on the tv and collected the remote from the sofa where she later settled down. As she was about to change the channel, the thought about Mateo, whom she left all by himself yesterday came to her mind. 'Wait. I wonder what happened to him. Did
'Why is she not answering the door!?. Is she toying with me or what now?!'. Bella wondered. Eventually, since Tina didn't answer the door, Bella had to stop what she was busy doing to face the reality in front of her. "I think something is up. Perhaps we should come again another time". After Bella had said to the bodyguards, she turned around immediately to leave when one of the bodyguards 'Thomas' with the most muscular body roughly grabbed her by her shirt. With widened and scared eyes, Bella exclaimed. "What do you think you're doing?. I'm not one of your enemies, so why disrespect me by treating me this way?!". "I won't have you waste my Boss's time like this. Whatever you must do, we three aren't leaving here unless we take our boss's bride to him". Thomas declared. His voice tone, including his facial expression, was harsh and serious."But but. Wait, you're not the Boss of me". Bella announced upon her realisation."So get out of my way!. How dare you speak to me like th
