Third Person's POV:

"Ew... That's so disgusting," Anna exclaimed after viewing Jackson's weird combination of liquor.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpmjz2BK0U
"Disgusting? This is the most sweetest combo of drink, honey... Wanna try?" He asked slurredly and winked.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vfB3khKd2
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvpZK4UeGj
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QtMUzgndr
It's a common thing for Jackson to drink like a fish and babble nonsense in celebration.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsuuEFefPU
He gave her a final look and left for the dance floor to distract himself from the weird sensation building up.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjZlfZj8Om
"And once again I'm all alone," she groaned annoyingly and stuffed the whole ice cream.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgU6gEJHT5
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9CkHjBxaJ
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUsJbesSSc
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqlB2nDahB
"How much? How much did he pay for you to be his date?" she got straight to the point.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTx0mWmTx4
"I'm sorry?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSq8w5P2VB
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdMP4NHs9Z
"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."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPpaMbJdet
"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."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVvffzCckW
"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."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtSsBwhOe9
"I need him back!" Amber shouted and rose up.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF8SwOxxOU
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHohw4yx1z9
"What does that mean? Did he lie to me?" Amber questioned curiously.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd40raRYi7D
Anna just grinned at her question and left the area.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEkHvJxeiA
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Seu26j3r
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1cZoRa1Jc
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UDqsvEN5V
"Well, I don't see anywhere written it's only for kids," she said simply and continued adding more items to her plate.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRMvyVInAl
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96lTyhtNKC
"It's the final warning for you, lady... Drop the plate or I'll shoot you," the four-year-old little girl said.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtdmp9hKAy
"Go ahead," Anna says mockingly, making the kids annoyed.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb34QJqfSO
They take out water balls from their tiny backpacks and aim at Anna's head.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZBCzc08y9
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxkdy0JXVx
"What the hell!" She cries out and turns around. The kiddos give a gummy smile and move towards the table where snacks are kept.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPx71bICR0
"Told you not to mess with the Mancini kids," the boy says nonchalantly and grabs a few cookies, sharing them with his little sister.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6FT1pBDj3
"You... You two are unbelievable!" She says in horror and glares at them. The little girl giggles lightly at her reaction and continues munching.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXmXOvHqhP
"She is so funny!" The boy jokes and giggles with his sister as if they are watching a clown.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdSjADKjFz
Anna wipes away the wetness with tissue and gives them an alarming look.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yqJhJgzl6
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQsszgDYUF
The kiddos just stand like statues and glance at each other. They weren't expecting a chocolate shower as punishment.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas0Pk0akk6
"Wow... Now you two look incredibly funny and cute," she says with a broad smile.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr4gPx02I9
"We will tell Mama," the boy yells.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3T1vxka9F
"Go ahead... Actually, I want to see your Mama and tell her about your little acts."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm2qNFOMNJ
"Really? Then what did you do as an adult!!"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNydKNOijuy
"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."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzrTXGC0Iz
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSohccIHNo
"Mama!! We are over here!!!" Both of them yell at once.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZviNmZUud7
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVMvQEnk87
"Shhh, don't yell," she tries to control the yelling ones but in vain.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcdvY66kT4
"Uhhh babies, where are you?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRWK6X3rOE
"In the corner, Mama!!" Marco yells.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2b4Znq3WH
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yB0vaD1Og
"Ouch!" She stumbles and falls on the floor after colliding with someone.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcLysQob3f
"Oops... I am so sorry..." A gentle female voice echoes in the room. The lady helps her to get up.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHxdSSbsjj
"Uh, that's okay..." Anna says while rubbing her forearm.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf98LKU7oa
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2zMEubCC6
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAII2t9WHO
She gasps with horror when she sees her face under the moonlight.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTncSXqxcn
"Isabelle..." She utters in pure shock.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB3Y02eukC
"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.
