1. The Return

There was a huge fuss at the international airport in the early working hours of Monday, travelers paused and stared, it was truly an enchanting sight. Cameras where flashing, people screaming in joy and other people in awe,"isn't that Ann Yin? Is she married? are those her children? All these years and she's finally back to her birth country!”

The crowd gather around with excitement and in awe at the star’s appearance.

"Omg she is finally back, I heard the news of her return but didn't believe it earlier but it turns out to be the truth! Hahahaha…….”, an excited teenager said to her friends in pure bliss. She was beyond happy and it felt her a dream come true to her.

The multi billion award winning actress, Ann Yin has returned to her birth country after many years staying overseas and making a name for herself.

"It was said that she left the country after a heart breaking betrayal, hustling in the street of Las Vegas until she was discovered by a well known movie director who took her in and made her who she is today. Oh! Oh I also heard she had to change her name to Yin after the Director that took her in and made her. She changed her name to be unrecognized by people from her past her but it was never mentioned in the magazine that she has children. They are so adorable but-but-don't the small boy look like Rex Radford or it is just my imagination." A nosy woman said to the crowd which brought their attention to the small boy with killer looks and sweet dimples.

The big fuss wasn’t only about the angelic actress but also about the two adorable set of twins she was walking ahead of, they were simply breathe taking even at such a tender age

" It's true! he does look like Rex Radford whilst the girl look like Ann Yin", a lady exclaimed and a lot of people around agreed with the said observation.

People tried to take pictures but were stopped by the many body guards around them, the twins pouted at the luck of attention from their mother but the attention of the crowd was a bit overwhelming to them. Their mother Ann Yin, was busy talking business with her assistants who were hot on their heels with around the clock informations she needed.

“Hummphh mother isn’t paying any attention to us and I want to complain to her about the weird way everyone is looking at us, almost like we are aliens from space”, the little girl said with a deepened frown whilst her brother stroked her hair with affection in a form of reassurance.

“ lmao you silly girl, why are you complaining so much? I thought you’d be used to those stares and whispers by now. They like us because of our looks which we might obviously gotten form mummy. Well, we don’t even know how our dad looks like so let’s just stick to mummy for now. It is quite sad he died before we were born, l am very sure I look just like him but we’ve never seen this pictures either.” Bryan muttered with dissatisfaction.

“Hmmm but Bryan, don’t you think it’s a little fishy that mother doesn’t have a single picture of dad”, Rosy asked her brother in doubt.

“Hmm, that true Rosy, I also found that every strange indeed. Mummy won’t even tell us his name, she’d say that we got her and that’s more than enough. Scoff!”, Bryan reacted with a frown.

The two was in immense conversation that they’ve completely forgotten about the crowd and the wondering eyes around them. Ann was busily discussing plans of her new role in the upcoming series and her clothing line with her three assistants.

“Mark, how is the construction of the mini mall for the clothing line coming along? Yes Mina? are all my scripts for the series ready for me to go through?...”, Ann asked with confident strides with her assistant following directly behind her with their iPads and notepads.

“And ohh Disney, are the kids doing well at the back? You know how much they hate crowds and turn to shy away from the camera every time. Kindly keep checking up on them like I instructed earlier and please tell the guards to keep their eyes on them always....”, Ann ordered with a quick glance at the kids at the back.

Getting the message clear, Disney went to the back immediately. She met the kids walking with their bodyguards with huge frowns on their faces whilst busily discussing something seriously amongst themselves. She delivered the message to the head of security and went to the adorable cuties to have a little chat with them.

“Hey sweeties, ma’am asked me to check up on you adorable sweethearts, how are you doing over here? how is the feeling like finally coming to your mum’s birth country for the first time ever? It must be exciting!”, Disney stated happily.

Rosy rolled her eyes at her but didn’t even bother to reply her, she resorted to looking around and taking everything around in whilst her brother without looking at Disney and with a cold and childlike voice he asked,”why won’t your ma’am check up on her children herself? We just arrive at this country and she left us immediately we came out of the jet and met you and your follow minions standing there”, Bryan muttered with a pout.

Disney knowing the cold and distant manner of the kids to outsiders didn’t take their words or actions to heart. They’ve all been working for their mother for years and yet they still treat them like strangers every time they interact with each other. Looking at their handsome and beautiful faces, they look so adorable and angelic, she smiled at them gently and answered, “sweethearts, I hope know your mother loves you two more than anything on earth but she has to make sure everything is going on well even in her absence and also ensure that we’ve arranged everything for your arrival as she planned. So unless she’s sure everything is in order, she can’t relax and have fun with you two as usual. She really needs your understanding now okay? She needs just a little bit more time to get everything complete and in shape.” Disney explained to their understanding.

They both pouted and stomped their feet and hurried to their mother, ‘at least their frowns were no longer present on their faces. I think I’ve achieved my goal hehe’, Disney thought as she followed them slowly to join the rest in the front with a broad smile.

Looking at them walking hand in hand, she laughed out loud as she always noticed how they do things in sync almost as if they were signaled to do it together at the same time,”such cuties, rude cuties but still adorable cuties”. Disney muttered to herself.

She got to them just in time to catch the twins in action,” Mummy?! Mummy?! why are you ignoring us? You-you left us immediately we got out of the jet. You abandoned us to the guards for the vultures to devour your innocent children. Don’t you have a conscience to be doing that to your own children and .......” Rosy said with a deep frown as if she felt so wrong, her brother rolled his eyes childishly,”drama queen as usual”, Bryan muttered under his breathe.

Rosy shot him a glare and concentrated once again on their mother giving her the puppy eye, with a gentle chuckle Ann got down to Rosy’s level, “ baby? stop being drama Queen dearie, we were playing games and watching movies throughout the journey, we left the jet barely minutes ago and you are now complaining about me ignoring you? Even abandoning you for the vultures to devour? All because I have to discuss work before we get settled in. Sweethearts, I need updates from them about how things were running before me, they flew before us to get things prepared for our arrival and I need updates on that too, as well as our accommodation, your school etc. so please give me a little more time okay”, Ann told them.

Kissing both their noses and stroking their hair affectionately, she stood up and continued her discussion with her assistants. It was a rare sight to see the cold actress and CEO appear so soft. She’s only soft, gentle and tender when it came to her children.

Bryan was obviously happy with the explanation but Rosy wasn’t. She wanted to make their mother feel guilty so she can guilt trap her into giving her that bar of chocolate she’s been eyeing throughout the journey. She wanted that bar of chocolate by all means.
