Third Person's POV:

"Ew... That's so disgusting," Anna exclaimed after viewing Jackson's weird combination of liquor.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrPdV1qD8w
"Disgusting? This is the most sweetest combo of drink, honey... Wanna try?" He asked slurredly and winked.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo5INvLmHV
"No, please, I'm more than happy with my ice cream," she said and licked the spoon, making him gulp the hot liquid in one go.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8saEEgwcmG
"Okay... I don't think I can be here and controlled anymore," he muttered under his breath and stood up from the couch they shared.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqatyev7UZf
It's a common thing for Jackson to drink like a fish and babble nonsense in celebration.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsoixsQZk2
He gave her a final look and left for the dance floor to distract himself from the weird sensation building up.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7vNuBplpu
"And once again I'm all alone," she groaned annoyingly and stuffed the whole ice cream.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x1TTzhCDn
Leena and her mother Aleena were busy with their family friends. Anna scanned the room with bored eyes to find anyone who could give her company.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLje3ooBWUZ
"Seems like you are looking for your next prey," the familiar sharp feminine voice beamed from the opposite of her. Amber moved forward and took the place once Jackson had.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ILEuD3JPU
From the way she stared, it's clear for Anna that the model isn't here for a friendly chat. Anna just remained silent and averted her gaze to the crowd.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG05DSoaXf
"How much? How much did he pay for you to be his date?" she got straight to the point.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MV1RtG1Ja
"I'm sorry?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnrL8mlc0i
"Uh... Okay, don't play this game with me... I'll double the amount..." She took out a stack of money and extended it to Anna, who was stunned by her words.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAjbPVS8h0
"Miss Augustine, if you are that rich, you could fund for social well-being and poor orphanages. I don't want your money because I have a stable income of my own."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn8EUDOI6V
"Don't be so full of yourself, Miss Walker... I'll give you anything you want, but you need to stay away from my man."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aZgydVidL
"Miss, I never tried to get the attention of Jackson or tried to make him mine. It's so silly of you to offer money for me to leave him."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB4WGimDin
"I need him back!" Amber shouted and rose up.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpd1bZgytt
"Okay, cool down Miss... I don't know if you would get him back or not... You should have thought about it before cheating behind his back, but I could assure you one thing: I won't be an obstacle in your path," Anna said calmly and got up.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTXruQtaWN
"What does that mean? Did he lie to me?" Amber questioned curiously.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGSYBynVD3
Anna just grinned at her question and left the area.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdVP7VKP6q
The only intention of Amber to get back Jackson is to get back to her early position, which is well known for Jackson... The whole love thing Jackson had with Amber is to provoke Anna, which was an utter failure.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQEM1rGVYC
Anna left the bar area and strode to the snack area, which was kind of empty. Most of the sweets and baked items are delivered by her own bakery shop, and the anniversary cake of course, specially designed by Anny for her beloved friend this morning. She took a plate and started to fill it with sweets, cooked cakes, and doughnuts.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWEoVU98nm
"Hey! It's not for you, fatty aunty," she stopped chewing the candies and turned around to see two cute little creatures, one in a royal blue princess gown and the other in a suit, holding a water gun pointed at Anna.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvydfkxBFA
"Well, I don't see anywhere written it's only for kids," she said simply and continued adding more items to her plate.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vdpQKgoar
"Don't mess with Mancinis...Drop the plate or we will shoot you, fatty," the little boy said in his cute squeaky voice, which she ignored completely.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9yPKQWgK2
"It's the final warning for you, lady... Drop the plate or I'll shoot you," the four-year-old little girl said.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoM33RL1RN
"Go ahead," Anna says mockingly, making the kids annoyed.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSJ24odFH0
They take out water balls from their tiny backpacks and aim at Anna's head.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfihioTY6
In a blink of an eye, they throw the balls, hitting her head like tennis balls. The plate drops on the floor like a reflex action. Her top part is completely wet and dripping.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0xNwS9Tuq
"What the hell!" She cries out and turns around. The kiddos give a gummy smile and move towards the table where snacks are kept.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLhatWoVJz
"Told you not to mess with the Mancini kids," the boy says nonchalantly and grabs a few cookies, sharing them with his little sister.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblDUinhr52
"You... You two are unbelievable!" She says in horror and glares at them. The little girl giggles lightly at her reaction and continues munching.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wFyrobYfu
"She is so funny!" The boy jokes and giggles with his sister as if they are watching a clown.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIFNHco66l
Anna wipes away the wetness with tissue and gives them an alarming look.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiqXYXW25T
"You know what, kiddos... Aunty doesn't mind if they're Mancini's kids or Blake's kids... You will get what you deserve," she says devilishly with a mischievous smile. She takes two bowls containing chocolate syrup and pours the content on the little ones' heads in one go smoothly and effortlessly.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G91GKPNaX
The kiddos just stand like statues and glance at each other. They weren't expecting a chocolate shower as punishment.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQsI8tJaZq
"Wow... Now you two look incredibly funny and cute," she says with a broad smile.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU7VaAepFE
"We will tell Mama," the boy yells.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRblFBz1YON
"Go ahead... Actually, I want to see your Mama and tell her about your little acts."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7BfWuznSN
"Really? Then what did you do as an adult!!"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vNU9NjA5y
"Mr. Mancini, I think you have been brought up like a spoiled brat and there is no distinction between adults or kids. If you have done something devilish, you will be repaid in the same way. This is the simplest form of punishment I could give you as an adult."
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEifxNMTIT
"Marco... Sofia... Where are you?" A female voice beams into the room. The kids snap their heads to the source of the voice and grin mischievously.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cH78OLB5A
"Mama!! We are over here!!!" Both of them yell at once.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNhkLnTiOU
Anna, who was confident to meet the kids' parents at once, now feels panicked. It's obvious the kids would tell what happened with a sprinkle of imagination.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwSJb1AZnf
"Shhh, don't yell," she tries to control the yelling ones but in vain.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0obAvNcwgq
"Uhhh babies, where are you?"
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAv6yAnHRw
"In the corner, Mama!!" Marco yells.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjiUv0mcKt
Anna feels alarmed before the kids could hold her till their mom comes; she runs to the left side of the room, which is dim.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZFSgfUcvM
"Ouch!" She stumbles and falls on the floor after colliding with someone.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEWAfofttS
"Oops... I am so sorry..." A gentle female voice echoes in the room. The lady helps her to get up.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJVhWwZHcC
"Uh, that's okay..." Anna says while rubbing her forearm.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxjItS3hFE
The lady, who is in a mermaid yellow gown, is taken aback by hearing her voice. For a minute, there is complete silence; the lady is staring at Anna, making her uncomfortable.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo1YNdheCs
"Thanks for the help..." Anna says softly and turns back. Before she could walk away, the lady grabs her right hand and pulls her towards the window side.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQTmzjVd2B
She gasps with horror when she sees her face under the moonlight.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmEpsbC2qA
"Isabelle..." She utters in pure shock.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNLo94gbH5
"No... No, I am not Isabelle." Anna, who is now equally shocked by hearing her twin sister's name, says almost like a whisper, breaking the hold and running out of the hall without turning back.
