Nicole’s POV“Fadz?” I received a message from Fadz, so I excused myself from class and dialed his number to know what was wrong. I wanted to hear him say his reasons because Fadz would not do such a thing unless it were an emergency. “First, I have to apologize that I am at the shopping mall with the young Boss Mac right now,” Fadz answered with urgency. “But we bumped into Mike Wilson. I don’t know why, but Boss Mac wanted to pretend he was lost and ask Mike for help. Boss Mac told me to stay at a distance and keep an eye on him discreetly. When I tried to disobey, he glared at me. I froze in my spot. I have never seen him with such a scary face. Now, he is with Mike Wilson. What do I do, boss?”“Just keep an eye on him,” I answered calmly. “Let’s see what Mac is going to do,” I added. “But what if….?” Fadz asked worriedly. I had an idea of what he was worried about. I know no one is allowed to mention Mike to any of my kids, but it wasn’t because I did not want my babies to kno
Justin POVI did not expect Mike would forget the date today, which happened to be my birthday. But neither was I expecting his offer to ask me for help to spend his bonus on treating me. It was a bit extravagant to be taken, knowing how much he can get for a bonus on his gigs. I cannot help feeling so excited. I was not as busy as I would always be today because I was also thinking about asking Mike to celebrate with me. It’s been a while since Mike joined me to spend a wild night. So I was actually thinking about taking him with me to the new hot spot downtown. It only happened that one of my clients online asked for a few changes in the design I submitted in the morning, so I had to stay for about half an hour more. “All done!”I exclaimed as soon as I got the confirmation from my client that I had done everything they wanted to be enhanced on the design. I quickly called for a cab to take me to the shopping mall, where Mike said he would be waiting. It was almost rush hour, but
Mike’s POV“No nuts of any kind, especially peanuts,” the child, who introduced himself as Mac, said. “Okay. I will make sure to ask the baker if the bread has peanuts or not,” I answered assuringly. I looked around the racks and displayed items. I was going to ask the boy if he would like the kind of bread right in front of me, but I saw him staring intently at something. I moved closer and realized he was staring at an animated decoration on top of a small chocolate cake. “Do you like it?” I asked. I was ready to buy it for him if the boy wanted it. “No nuts for me because I have an allergy to them. I don’t like sweets. No allergies, but I cannot stand the taste,” the boy said. The kid obviously spoke his words in his early stage of speech, judging by the baby-talk-like sound of his pronunciation. But I felt even more amused as I looked and listen to him. The funny thought that the sound of his words and the look on his face were two different descriptions tickled me inside, m
Justin’s POV“How old is he again?” I asked Mike as we watched the lady and child walk away. The boy kept looking back, so Mike and I could take our eyes off them. As a matter of fact, Mike seemed untired of waving his right hand goodbye to the boy. “He said he is turning four soon,” Mike answered without sparing me a glance. “He doesn’t look old for the age he mentioned, but I think he behaves older than the number he declared,” I chuckled. I heard Mike laugh along with me. “I think I agree with you on that,” he said. “I think we should proceed with our plans. What do you want to eat, birthday man?” My eyes flew to check if the boy was already out of our sight, and I realized I was right. Mike was able to remember the reason we were here since the adorable and unexpected child who Mike had bumped into was now gone. “I am never choosy when it comes to food,” I said as I walked with Mike opposite the direction where Mac and the lady went. “Alright then, how about a Japanese bee
Mike’s POV“What do you mean we have some resemblance?” I asked Justin as we entered his house. I have been meaning to ask him this question the moment he mentioned it, but I was anxious about many things concerning the child’s safety to entertain something I could put aside for the time being. From the club, I called for a cab to take us directly to Justin’s place but we remained silent the entire ride because I saw Justin was already getting busy on his phone. Whether it was related to Mac and my request or not, I did not bother asking Justin. Besides, discussing such things in a public transport with a stranger behind the wheel to take us where we were heading, it was not a very ideal place to talk about what Justin was doing and what I was asking my hacker friend to do. So, even though my mouth was itching to ask many things, I managed to bite my tongue the whole time we were in the cab and even on our way up to his house door, I did not make any verbal sound. “I think it was
Fhadz POVAs I was nervously watching my little big boss, Mac Parker, speaking with Mike Wilson, I panicked when I saw Mike’s friend, who also knew my Boss Nicole, arrive at the bakery where Mike Wilson brought Mac Parker. The mere fact that I was responsible if the toddler mistakenly ate anything he has allergies to drove me crazy worrying. Adding to this fear was the very person the toddler was deliberately spending with. I know Boss Nicole was just being kind when she reacted the way she did as soon as I came clean about my current predicament with my immediate boss. Mike Wilson and everything about him is something Nicole Parker had announced clearly never to mention, discuss or do anything with at all costs. Although it has been years since we spoke about this matter, I strongly believe this rule applies up to the present. But what could I do? I fell into the trap this genius toddler had set me to fall into. I managed to get into the bakery and sat at a table sneakily. I fel
Lilith’s POV“Little Parker, tell your bodyguard that he is not to forget this favor,” I winked at the toddler as we walked side by side away from the two men Mac Parker was in the bakery. “I am not telling him anything about you,” the cute toddler answered.“And why is that, if I may ask?” I teased the boy. I know he doesn’t like me. He had been so obvious about that. But it had been a big question mark for me until now. I never had the chance to ask him about this matter in person either, so I took the liberty of doing so today.“Because I know you want him for yourself. He is mine, and as long as I can keep him, I am not giving you any chance to take him away from me,” Mac said without even sparing me a glance. I could feel the annoyance he had for me in the tone of his words, but I was more amazed that this toddler could boldly express how he felt about me concerning the same person we like to have for ourselves. “You are no doubt a Parker!” I giggled. I have known all about
Nicole’s POVEver since I got the call from Fhadz, I could not concentrate on my lessons, so I excused myself from my professors and left class earlier than usual. I didn’t know how to face Mac because I was somehow afraid to hear whatever he had to say. But I did not want to avoid him, either. This is the first time Mac would meet Mike in person. “I wonder how their meeting went….” I murmured as I sat in the backseat of my ride while my bodyguard-slash-driver was smoothly driving the vehicle from my school to home. But more than Mac’s reaction, I am more scared of how Mike reacted the moment he saw Mac. Although they do not look exactly the same, the fact that they are blood-related would never be denied if one takes a good look at the father and son. “I found someone to help me get the young Master home. He will be at the mansion in half an hour,” Fhadz reported through a call. I could tell he was briskly walking. “Do you have a chance to tell me anything I need to know before
