His Devious Rule

As if Alvin was just teasing her, his hand reached her arm and pinned her wrist that was tempting him. His lips trailed down her jawline. Anya gasped arching her head back when he dipped his tongue into her collarbone.

'Knock, knock, knock…'

The knocks on the door went completely unnoticed by the two who were busy indulging themselves in pleasure.

"Momma," It was a baby adorable voice that could never go unheard by a mother.

As if it was a siren of warning. Both stiffened, holding their breath, their hearts were racing against each other, and their bodies were hot as steamed buns, unwilling to let go of each other.

"Are you in there?" Zane's voice faintly sounded from the other side of the door.

Anya slid off the couch in pure reflex. She slumped on the floor and sat there blankly. Alvin felt like icy cold water poured over him when the huge double door was slowly pushed.

A groan of frustration was burned back in his throat. He ran his fingers through his hair when he noticed Anya on the floor instead of hiding like last time.

'Why was she sitting there?' He quickly pulled her up to sit, or else his little enemy would ask them a hundred questions.

Anya wouldn't be able to explain anything to her baby. She didn't want to lie so she tried her best to compose.

Zane stood at the half-open door with his book in his hand, "Momma, did I disturb you?" He asked hesitantly looking at the two sitting silently. And his mother didn't look as lively as she is around him.

'Disturb? You sinned, you little brat.' Alvin gritted his teeth as it was the second time Zane appeared right on time. He would have killed the person through his eyes if he wasn't Zane. He rubbed his neck as he looked away.

Anya breathed through her mouth and cleared her throat to sound normal. "No, Baby." Her voice was laced with restraint and breathlessness.

Zane walked inside as he spoke, "Momma, I am confused with two questions. Could you please take a look at it for me?" He sweetly requested. Only those two questions were left to complete his homework.

The air around them was thick, Anya wouldn't be able to focus on anything. She smiled at her son, "Give me a minute, baby. I will come to your room." Her tone was much more relaxed and soft.

Zane was a bit far to clearly see her face so he nodded, "Okay, Momma. I will wait for you." He left the room.

Anya finally breathed and leaned on Alvin to relax. She wasn't angry at her son but her poor little heart was definitely going crazy.

Alvin asked in annoyance, "Have you attached something to your son?" How could he appear right on time?

Anya breathed in and out loudly to get better control over herself, "Your son too." She reminded him. But still, Zane appeared like he got a sensor signal.

Alvin declined her words immediately, "No."

Anya: 😰

Alvin snorted looking at her eyes that were instantly filled with confusion and worry, "Your darling son is my little enemy." He gave her a childish reason for refusal, grumpy to voice the little brat as his son.

Anya's eyes curled up as she chuckled, going to his arms. She almost thought he doesn't like Zane but he does and he wouldn't show. Son and father were alike.

Alvin looked at the snuggling woman in his arms. Powerless against his bratty son, he hissed, pulling her away, "If he comes again, I might tie his legs up in the air."

Might? No, he will definitely do that.

Anya burst into laughter imagining Zane hanging upside done like the bats. Alvin had crazy ideas to hold Zane in weird ways. She skipped out patting her hot cheeks.

"Goofball." There was an alluring smile at the corner of his lips watching her leave.

However, his eyes darkened soon, 'Dean of Imperial University.' If Anya had said anything to Gianna, the latter must have taken action to protect her position. He returned to his desk and worked while thinking of a plan for Anya.

Defaming Gianna could bring the attention of the university and the board members might ask her to step down to save the reputation of the education group. Although it will achieve the result Anya wished, (to break Gianna's pride) it couldn't bring Anya to her position.

Controlling Gianna was important as she could provoke the students. The students' protest will attract the attention of the whole country. It could negatively impact Anya too.

Her name was already in the news as a national thief, he wouldn't wish for her to fall before she even started another career.

Starting a new school and college and making her the dean felt easier than dealing with the situation.

'Creak'

Alvin was scribbling his signature on paper when he heard the door open. He commanded impassively, "Go to bed, Little Donut."

Anya pouted at the door, he can say that sweetly, right? Anyway, she felt bad seeing him work at night. She liked him following her, at the same time she didn't want to trouble his schedule. "Sleep soon."

She saw him pause hearing her before he resumed. Sighing to herself, she went to cuddle her son to sleep.

——————

The next day,

Anya was dropping Zane to school and Alvin told her that he would pick him up. Anya agreed to let them spend time together. Taking the chance, Anya went to meet Chief Justice who was having a discussion with Jason in his office room.

Assistant Wen served her coffee as the other two were already having their cups in their hands. The chief justice was in the armchair and Jason in front of her. Both looked at her in puzzlement.

The attempt-to-murder case was solved and it was in the court. Alvin was grinding both Hale and Dalton companies. So they were puzzled about what Anya was doing there instead of enjoying her vacation time.

Anya broke the bomb for the second time, "I would like to become Dean of Imperial University."

'Pfft.'

Not just one, both the men choked on their coffee for the first time in their life. Assistant Wen was also bewildered by her words. The three looked at her as though there was a doppelganger of Anya sitting there or she lost her mind.

Anya wasn't talking about just any university but Imperial which stands top in the country and is renowned worldwide. Making her the dean at the university is like asking them to make her the vice-president of the country.

Jason was first to compose and kept the cup down. "Officer Owen, are you perhaps resigning again?" She could become the dean with her father-in-law's support.

Anya knew her decision was the most ridiculous one so far. It might be like a chicken dreaming of flying in the sky. But she was willing to try for her new mission and to annoy Gianna. "No such plans."

The chief justice knows her as the most sensible woman. He couldn't believe she just said those words. He leaned back on the armchair, noting that she was dead serious. He calmly reminded her to know why she suddenly changed her plan.

"Officer Owen, we have decided that you will be joining Imperial University as an assistant professor and a research student to find the criminal."

Right, Anya wasn't joining Imperial University because of Gianna. It is just a perfect mask for her next mission.

….

Meanwhile, in front of the Matthews headquarters,

A tall, gorgeous human and an adorable little gentleman were standing imposingly. The eyes of passersby were gawking at them but they didn't give a damn.

"Chipmunk Monster," The little man craned his neck to look at the man. "Why are we here?" He demanded a response.

Although nobody told him, he could guess Alvin didn't have a good relationship with the Matthews but Collins. So he was a bit curious.

Alvin looked down at the little human who was fearless. They had so many similarities that baffles him. He revealed the truth, "To fulfill your Mommy's wish."

Zane's chin raised and he slowly nodded, discerning his presence was required to make his mommy's wish come true.

He lifted his little fist and the big fist bumped into his, sealing their deal.

They entered the company as if superstars were fulfilling their fans' dreams with their appearance.
