Third Person's POV:

"Ew... That's so disgusting," Anna exclaimed after viewing Jackson's weird combination of liquor.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaODHPzGOW
"Disgusting? This is the most sweetest combo of drink, honey... Wanna try?" He asked slurredly and winked.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1Lf7kuDz
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT9xQr6U9r
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTbyUbYACT
It's a common thing for Jackson to drink like a fish and babble nonsense in celebration.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg7NLtp5cZ
He gave her a final look and left for the dance floor to distract himself from the weird sensation building up.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1WfK37YCr
"And once again I'm all alone," she groaned annoyingly and stuffed the whole ice cream.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hqQNm6bZp
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJZHSJE80p
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXKUUWW9Gj
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbpVsncT9U
"How much? How much did he pay for you to be his date?" she got straight to the point.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnwPG6TKKx
"I'm sorry?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwzQHsCYk2
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UYDXpBKPh
"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."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuJ1CP0XKc
"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."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX59xAM1EZW
"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."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZcTuyb8t7
"I need him back!" Amber shouted and rose up.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMWiV4srwo
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Y2Nsoo5F
"What does that mean? Did he lie to me?" Amber questioned curiously.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5B0FXjIqN
Anna just grinned at her question and left the area.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodlYg1TsP0
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ToPSaqOyU
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gxlr8cbfv
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoL9ubedac
"Well, I don't see anywhere written it's only for kids," she said simply and continued adding more items to her plate.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpDJ9JhkPP
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJKP8MHl5g
"It's the final warning for you, lady... Drop the plate or I'll shoot you," the four-year-old little girl said.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ohJ0ZIu8y
"Go ahead," Anna says mockingly, making the kids annoyed.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtk3VlJCfw
They take out water balls from their tiny backpacks and aim at Anna's head.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yLXgSZ1Ao
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHddF1kjou
"What the hell!" She cries out and turns around. The kiddos give a gummy smile and move towards the table where snacks are kept.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYG7I4A7D
"Told you not to mess with the Mancini kids," the boy says nonchalantly and grabs a few cookies, sharing them with his little sister.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX8LYm59zb
"You... You two are unbelievable!" She says in horror and glares at them. The little girl giggles lightly at her reaction and continues munching.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXV7Mtmm51
"She is so funny!" The boy jokes and giggles with his sister as if they are watching a clown.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpLz7qPvJ1
Anna wipes away the wetness with tissue and gives them an alarming look.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDuusqkzsY
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe6f3kMnYZ
The kiddos just stand like statues and glance at each other. They weren't expecting a chocolate shower as punishment.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLBmLf0M7R
"Wow... Now you two look incredibly funny and cute," she says with a broad smile.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyagrb05aE
"We will tell Mama," the boy yells.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMcm9d5mYv
"Go ahead... Actually, I want to see your Mama and tell her about your little acts."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2WE7EZe6L
"Really? Then what did you do as an adult!!"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmuOGfbQFe
"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."
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjFXwQ4WuQ
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoUeHJaIzO
"Mama!! We are over here!!!" Both of them yell at once.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYey3k7o9uf
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8qw1WbJp8
"Shhh, don't yell," she tries to control the yelling ones but in vain.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7nzcUIk5m
"Uhhh babies, where are you?"
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPXR5i6ilc
"In the corner, Mama!!" Marco yells.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlf3SkjLLB
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuihpgQ4sQ
"Ouch!" She stumbles and falls on the floor after colliding with someone.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0reAL4gDLo
"Oops... I am so sorry..." A gentle female voice echoes in the room. The lady helps her to get up.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLP0QyE7gT
"Uh, that's okay..." Anna says while rubbing her forearm.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov1ZxOaxge
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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOuse7umP1
"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.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr8YagQkAF
She gasps with horror when she sees her face under the moonlight.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnf3YXKCde
"Isabelle..." She utters in pure shock.
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAxsi5ustC
"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.
