Third Person's POV:

"Ew... That's so disgusting," Anna exclaimed after viewing Jackson's weird combination of liquor.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLpxPzrqdz
"Disgusting? This is the most sweetest combo of drink, honey... Wanna try?" He asked slurredly and winked.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51k6ouZqDO
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekq5RDrf1
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRECFoGMnT
It's a common thing for Jackson to drink like a fish and babble nonsense in celebration.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkXCn00sc5
He gave her a final look and left for the dance floor to distract himself from the weird sensation building up.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQUYusPus8
"And once again I'm all alone," she groaned annoyingly and stuffed the whole ice cream.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBmxiemnPR
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnFrAbK177
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpzFq6A7w4
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHKItc0kY2
"How much? How much did he pay for you to be his date?" she got straight to the point.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpkJxEdSIN
"I'm sorry?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YNtRP6EdZ
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcphK8DWxq
"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."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYqWLZrnGl
"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."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzPjWw2jMo
"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."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaucxao2LFy
"I need him back!" Amber shouted and rose up.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMWOaMnLxS
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXAtNcnN7E
"What does that mean? Did he lie to me?" Amber questioned curiously.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LFiQJzIqU
Anna just grinned at her question and left the area.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5yFA1Wppt
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6d8s3JM8w
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TQRbqhBlW
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCd0zHLx7k
"Well, I don't see anywhere written it's only for kids," she said simply and continued adding more items to her plate.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR5g1A0Po1
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipYPkixl9x
"It's the final warning for you, lady... Drop the plate or I'll shoot you," the four-year-old little girl said.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunioQjl7iB
"Go ahead," Anna says mockingly, making the kids annoyed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfWiKp23bn
They take out water balls from their tiny backpacks and aim at Anna's head.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDTKFU6MUh
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUHtDohAgv
"What the hell!" She cries out and turns around. The kiddos give a gummy smile and move towards the table where snacks are kept.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5JrZR7Pwt
"Told you not to mess with the Mancini kids," the boy says nonchalantly and grabs a few cookies, sharing them with his little sister.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb5pOJCqhf
"You... You two are unbelievable!" She says in horror and glares at them. The little girl giggles lightly at her reaction and continues munching.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShz9ID2NzC
"She is so funny!" The boy jokes and giggles with his sister as if they are watching a clown.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEZj08WC8E
Anna wipes away the wetness with tissue and gives them an alarming look.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw0qImWTcx
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nxVivdfb8
The kiddos just stand like statues and glance at each other. They weren't expecting a chocolate shower as punishment.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5TBsGd1kA
"Wow... Now you two look incredibly funny and cute," she says with a broad smile.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWrMfnJs4L
"We will tell Mama," the boy yells.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx39k9M1XUL
"Go ahead... Actually, I want to see your Mama and tell her about your little acts."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruNakl3oaH
"Really? Then what did you do as an adult!!"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaCJNuTwWu
"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."
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUecrE59rJQ
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsuWIJ3qrl
"Mama!! We are over here!!!" Both of them yell at once.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoMQjAoysF
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92nXsvQ6KH
"Shhh, don't yell," she tries to control the yelling ones but in vain.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr5pDdcNMg
"Uhhh babies, where are you?"
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExmL1QWk29
"In the corner, Mama!!" Marco yells.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHMONnvDQw
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYDSUgnON0
"Ouch!" She stumbles and falls on the floor after colliding with someone.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNZcim5d37
"Oops... I am so sorry..." A gentle female voice echoes in the room. The lady helps her to get up.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW910VLint
"Uh, that's okay..." Anna says while rubbing her forearm.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTzV9ZiavD
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqnpqhvwzD
"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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mh1PXvSXB
She gasps with horror when she sees her face under the moonlight.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOQ7khxBTr
"Isabelle..." She utters in pure shock.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0mPw610oc
"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.
