Third Person's POV:

"Ew... That's so disgusting," Anna exclaimed after viewing Jackson's weird combination of liquor.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakNhVfA9Ts
"Disgusting? This is the most sweetest combo of drink, honey... Wanna try?" He asked slurredly and winked.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ROk8xRFy
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspUdf3LP2k
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY4QTvAB64
It's a common thing for Jackson to drink like a fish and babble nonsense in celebration.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0XFbCD8eM
He gave her a final look and left for the dance floor to distract himself from the weird sensation building up.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD75gGd2S7
"And once again I'm all alone," she groaned annoyingly and stuffed the whole ice cream.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtsmBkRorZ
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsjb4T7Pe2
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOt4p6q4bK
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDCUrT349l
"How much? How much did he pay for you to be his date?" she got straight to the point.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMfgbK00Uu
"I'm sorry?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwHdwFXRfB
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGB7xfkrWN
"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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRLrjrEjZb
"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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklf06tiPrR
"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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyOgoODauv
"I need him back!" Amber shouted and rose up.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzpV7c2YGN
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJlSv8zE5Z
"What does that mean? Did he lie to me?" Amber questioned curiously.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gvHbKjiWr
Anna just grinned at her question and left the area.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVTYDVHoBx
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5ISQutsvc
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP78Ob5WjB
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4DsPsPQeJ
"Well, I don't see anywhere written it's only for kids," she said simply and continued adding more items to her plate.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbx11nX93z
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pjQD5G2r1
"It's the final warning for you, lady... Drop the plate or I'll shoot you," the four-year-old little girl said.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6viE31DjpQ
"Go ahead," Anna says mockingly, making the kids annoyed.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLynBMDiK0m
They take out water balls from their tiny backpacks and aim at Anna's head.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC9e0QWUi4
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYYSb3kie4
"What the hell!" She cries out and turns around. The kiddos give a gummy smile and move towards the table where snacks are kept.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB1Lfc2gNN
"Told you not to mess with the Mancini kids," the boy says nonchalantly and grabs a few cookies, sharing them with his little sister.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2gaLkUY9p
"You... You two are unbelievable!" She says in horror and glares at them. The little girl giggles lightly at her reaction and continues munching.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq9GA2qZ3f
"She is so funny!" The boy jokes and giggles with his sister as if they are watching a clown.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyrs9D1zA0
Anna wipes away the wetness with tissue and gives them an alarming look.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmB13PbVWQ
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofzZYwp1G9
The kiddos just stand like statues and glance at each other. They weren't expecting a chocolate shower as punishment.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaB0v3tnek
"Wow... Now you two look incredibly funny and cute," she says with a broad smile.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikhks2MAlu
"We will tell Mama," the boy yells.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWI2rZncg8
"Go ahead... Actually, I want to see your Mama and tell her about your little acts."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPDp0Yktf4
"Really? Then what did you do as an adult!!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlVbsqFKAW
"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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZal01PhsHF
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3JBCcTgq7
"Mama!! We are over here!!!" Both of them yell at once.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebpsiecXu
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSYYbn6WY4
"Shhh, don't yell," she tries to control the yelling ones but in vain.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbaBTjpVJa
"Uhhh babies, where are you?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEy9Z5OdZH
"In the corner, Mama!!" Marco yells.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvpBSPF9He
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQomwLf6sdZ
"Ouch!" She stumbles and falls on the floor after colliding with someone.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMKnC5LIJg
"Oops... I am so sorry..." A gentle female voice echoes in the room. The lady helps her to get up.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjXL8oOZY5
"Uh, that's okay..." Anna says while rubbing her forearm.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0uHLKCbvv
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvykVumC3X6
"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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheRZ73tc4F
She gasps with horror when she sees her face under the moonlight.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7oGYF4xd7
"Isabelle..." She utters in pure shock.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHeZSSxhAc
"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.
