His Devious Rule

Secretary Harrison tried to know if the maid Zina was helping Gianna in any way. However, he found no trace on Zina's phone and Zina was meeting nobody else. So it left him in confusion why Zina was meeting Gianna.

Little did he know Gianna was using a spare SIM card.

Nevertheless, Harrison instructed the butler to personally serve Gianna to avoid Gianna from doing anything during the critical time.

On the other end,

After visiting the Majestic Clubhouse on Thursday morning, Anya went over and over again but she found no common or leading clue by the suspicious persons.

As per her information, Casper had no idea about Skylark other than knowing Alvin got the museum project in Narnia and permission to display his artifacts and antiques.

Gianna Sallow doesn't seem to be in contact with anybody. That's more suspicious in itself. However, Anya found no lead in the case.

After spending the whole day thinking and looking at the laptop, she stopped digging her head, to cook dinner. She went to check on her son and Elder Collins who were immersed in watching a science fiction movie very seriously.

Zane had his last paper, art, and craft on the next day so he was free to watch movies. Anya smiled helplessly seeing Elder Collins on the edge watching the movies. A bulb lit in her head seeing the two enjoying themselves.

'Ahem,' Clearing her throat, she mused, "There is the next season of this movie in cinemas on 4DX. Shall I book tickets for you two?" Zane's winter holidays will begin with a bang.

Zane's face lit up hearing his mother whereas Elder Collins immediately asked to know what he wasn't aware of, "What is 4DX?"

Anya didn't get the chance. Zane started explaining 3D, Imax, and 4DX to Elder Collins who wanted to experience it. So the little man booked tickets for three to watch the movie the next day.

Friday,

Alvin was able to complete his work and rush back to Narnia a day before the events. He appeared at the Nest to surprise his Little Donut. He was about to ring the bell, he noticed Anya through the glass wall. She was asleep on the couch, holding a book in her hand and brows knitted.

His eyes fell on Zane who was sitting on the armchair, ready to head out in his trendy clothes. Both of their eyes met and stared at each other with intense sizzle between them.

Alvin didn't want to disturb his Little Donut so he narrowed his eyes to the Little Brat who didn't move from his place to open the door.

Whereas Zane's lips slowly arced. He hadn't forgotten how he had threatened when Chipmunk Monster carried him weirdly. 'I will lock you out of my home.' Now it was time to keep Chipmunk Monster out of the house in the cold.

If he doesn't make it true, Chipmunk Monster wouldn't learn and take him seriously. Recalling a floor-to-ceiling window was open, he got off the couch calmly, but he ran towards the window and locked it immediately and smugly smiled at his father.

Alvin: 😒

Alvin crossed his arms over his chest and watched the little man's proud expression. They didn't want a DNA test report to prove his Little Enemy is his blood. Because Alvin did take his Little Enemy's threat seriously.

Fishing his wallet, Alvin picked a small key out of it and showed it to his Little Enemy first. If Zane wasn't reserved with him in the beginning, Alvin was certain he would have doubted Zane as his son, if not his replica.

Zane: 😤

Fine, Chipmunk Monster was smart too.

Alvin carefully unlocked the door hoping it wouldn't make a noise. Entering inside, he saw Elder Collins coming downstairs, prepared to go out.

Elder Collins noticed Anya was still asleep and spoke to Alvin in a low voice, "We planned a movie…" Elder Collins tried to remember what Zane and Anya were mentioning, "… Right, a movie date."

Alvin: 😑

He just came home wrapping his work swiftly and these two wanted to take his Little Donut away from him, on a movie date. Didn't they spend nearly two weeks with his Little Donut?

Alvin deadpanned without letting Elder Collins complete his words, "You two leave. Let her sleep."

Elder Collins and Zane weren't dumb. They could read Alvin wanted to keep Anya for himself. So Zane scoffed, "GG, let Mommy rest, Chipmunk Monster will drive us to the mall." He won't let Chipmunk Monster wake up his mommy.

Alvin snickered at the futile try of Zane, "Rob is right outside." Rob will take them, watch movies and bring them back safe after dinner. He was going to have all the time with his Little Donut.

Zane: 😒

It was Elder Collins' turn to realize that this father and son were too much alike, even if they act like adults in front of others.

Shaking off his thoughts, he completed his words, "Anya was in the study room almost all night. Don't disturb her." Whereas he knew as soon as they step out, his sneaky grandson will wake up Anya.

…. Two minutes later ….

Anya felt a pair of lips on her forehead and smiled thinking it was Zane. She snuggled against the pillow to continue sleeping.

'Forehead?' Zane only kisses her cheeks.

Her eyelids fluttered, slowly opening to the gorgeous face of the man who was looming over her. A beautiful smile graced her face looking at him groggily. She didn't know he was going to come. Since he said nothing when they spoke last time, she had assumed he might be coming on the next day.

Closing her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders when he kissed her cheek and laid on her, leaving the maximum of his weight on the couch.

Relishing in his warmth, tickled by his hot breath on her neck, Anya was about to slip into drowsiness, she recalled Zane and Elder Collins and where she had dozed off earlier.

Suddenly feeling completely awake, "Alvin… Baby…" She struggled to get up and push him off her.

Alvin buried his face in her neck, pinning her back on the couch. "They went on a movie date with Rob." His deep voice was low and his lips moved against her skin, making her flinch.

Relaxing back on the couch, Anya wasn't sleepy anymore. She looked at Alvin who had closed his eyes, while his hands were trying to wrap her in his arms. She smiled helplessly and stayed there if he wanted to take a nap.

Alvin had many things to ask her and chose, "Why did you look for Doctor Bose?" He wanted to know if she was troubled. If she continues to hide, he might have to look for the doctor.

Anya chuckled softly seeing him still hanging at that question. "I had a small question for her."

Alvin pressed his palms on the couch and lifted himself to face her. SHe looked at her clear eyes which were watching him in delight. She didn't seem to lie.

He smugly said, "You should have asked me." He was the root cause of all her psychological problems and he would find a solution to everything. "I'm better than her."

Anya nodded, hiding her smile. Probably she should have reached out to him. Grabbing his collar, she pulled him closer and said what he always waited to hear, "Let's get married."

Alvin's expression drastically changed to seriousness. He wasn't certain if she was serious or teasing him. Since she said it, he was going to make it happen. He didn't care even if she regretted picking that line.

Should he stick a plaster on her mouth? Then she couldn't say anything.

'What am I thinking?' He was baffled by his thoughts.

He decided to play dumb and deaf. He got off the couch and he pulled her up to sit. Grabbing her hand, he quickly started walking towards the door saying no word

Anya: 😕

He seemed like he was going to slaughter her.
