Chapter 14

[Rude]

''Will you get mad, Aunt Beth?''

Little Olya said

''No, baby. Be sure about that.''

I assured them.

''Er...''

''Okay, you two say it together, so I can scold both of you if I have to.''

I joked, and they looked delighted,

''Okay!''

Eulia said.

''I can't do it,''

Ariel added.

''ARGH!''

Little Han came with the boys to the center of the living room.

''Just ask already, you are annoying to death.''

Allen looked at the little girls,

''I know what they want to ask.''

Allen said, everyone's attention was on the little crossed-armed boy.

''Oh, thank god you're smart Allen.''

little Han exclaimed.

''They want to know why I resemble Damian Yang so much.''

''Oh wow, Allen.''

Sheila exclaimed astonished, just like everyone else.

I was frozen for a second there, my composure not so stable.

''Hey, is dinner ready?''

Rafael asked trying to divert the conversation.

''No, it isn't.''

Allen rolled his eyes at him and went back to play with Liam and little Han.

I sighed shaking my head,

''Well, this is...''

''Awesome? Brilliant? Your son is the same kind as Damian. Bold and heartless.''

Sheila shrieked angrily at me.

''You can't blame about that now, can you?''

I asked her confused.

Damian's eyes were hot on me.

''We are sorry Aunt Beth.''

''It's okay, sweetheart. Come, sit here.''

I brought them to the couch with me.

''Well, you didn't answer, Beth,''

Layla yelled at me standing up.

''I was trying not to bring this up for you. But it seems you don't want to save your face.''

I shook my head while playing with the girls.

''Don't yell at Aunt Beth.''

little Olya bit back coldly.

Everyone was choked hearing her talk like that.

''Aunt Beth is a strong person. This man you call fiance is such an immoral man.''

little Olya said rolling her eyes.

''Aunt Beth is a capable woman, she raised him alone for six years. She doesn't need him.''

Ariel sneered at her.

''Also, you don't need to be afraid she'd steal him from you. He doesn't deserve a woman like my mama.''

Eulia added.

I was too shocked to react, these three girls said everything that should be said.

Layla looked at them like she would launch at them at any time.

''You three little brats have no right to talk to me this way!''

she yelled at them.

Everyone else didn't want to intervene and I could understand why.

''Speak nicer.''

I gave her a warning glance.

All of them were taken aback, but they knew I had to be strong and they were approving of me all the way.

''Hahaha! What right does a woman with a bastard have to talk to me that way, have you forgotten who I am?''

''Maybe it's you who forgot your place here, Layla.''

A woman around my age came from the door.

I recognized her.

If I saw her some time ago I wouldn't.

She was Damian's little sister.

Emma Yang, 24 years old.

She and I were in the same accident the second time I got abducted.

When I was brought in, Emma was already captive for one year there.

Or that's what she said.

At the time she and I weren't friends.

Emma was a sensible and strong person so after she went there she formed a crew just like I had done the first time I got abducted.

Emma had a lot of followers too.

When I joined for the second time she did it again, there were still some girls who weren't in a team, and recognized her and went for a crew with me too.

There were other more influential teams there much more experienced than me and Emma which was why the two of them didn't trust anyone or each other.

They weren't enemies but weren't friends either, other teams tried to tear us apart from the beginning since they remembered me from before and tried to make my life a living hell, not wanting me to bring trouble to them again.

Emma and I after much plotting of the devious girls there finally became enemies trying to get the territories around us.

But we appreciated each other and I knew she wasn't a bad person like the others.

But we had to protect our members anyway and forming an agreement would bring much attention.

We pretended to be enemies for the whole incident and rarely spend time with each other behind the curtains.

And always got in a fight with each other as we knew that would be appreciated by the other girls.

She stood firm, cold.

We were the same kind of people, no one knew we already knew each other.

''023?''

I asked out loud,

''014, nice to meet you again.''

''My pleasure, your pain Miss.''

''Seems you haven't changed all these years.''

''And neither did you, Emma Yang.''

she looked at the boy, and in her eyes, there was an understanding.

Like herself had a kid without a father.

And then I noticed the little girl on her leg.

''Will you hurt my mommy?''

I smiled at the cute little girl,

''No. I won't.''

''Yay!''

she came at him, hugging my leg too.

''Let's be friends then!''

both Emma and I laughed at that, we knew friends can't be made this easy, but I compromised,

''Okay, sweetie. I went to her heigh and poked her little nose.''

Emma looked at me confused.

She seemed surprised by my kindness to the girl.

''You changed Bella.''

''I did. I had to.''

I picked the little girl,

''Mommy! Not another kid, please!''

Allen scoffed as he made his way to us.

''Wow, you are accusing me right now for something I didn't do, little devil.''

''I am most certainly not!''

he looked at the naughty girl, she stuck her tongue out to him, and I laughed,

''Did it good there girl!''

Emma's eyes widened,

''Is he?''

she blinked too much and went down to his height to get a closer look at him.

''Hey, little man.''

her eyes searched Allen's in desperation,

''Your daughter?''

or pointed at the girl with his eyes and crossed arms.

''Yes, don't worry she's not your long-lost sister.''

Emma said smiling and I put down the little girl to greet him.

''Better not be.''

''Ts ts ts, this boy is really like uncle Damian, bold and arrogant.''

Emma's daughter, Amelia, scoffed at him and he raised an eyebrow.

''This doesn't seem good Emma!''

I said pointing at the bickering kids.

''I say we marry them and get over with it.''

''HELL NO!''

they both yelled, and we all laughed.

Everyone was just watching what was going on.

''You two go play with the kids.''

I said firmly.

And it seemed they both were used to this kind of order, both loving their mommies.

''Well, who would have thought we both ended up pregnant without a man? Ridiculous.''

we laughed while heading to the couch.

''You two know each other Emma?''

Mister Oliver asked happily.

''Yeah, we do.''

Damian seemed to stop working with Tom now and their gazes at both of us.

''How do you know each other Beth?''

he asked with a demanding tone

''She has no reason to answer to you, Damian.''

Emma stepped in

''It's okay 023, I can handle it.''

''Well you are nothing to him, he shouldn't treat you this way. I remember you two back then hated each other's guts.''

''Still the same.''

''I get it.''

Damian glared at us.

Layla was furious that no one paid her any attention so she sat down.

Bet when she saw Damian and I was not arguing she came at me.

But she only dared because the older people weren't there, they had gone to the yard.

''Beth Kappa!''

she stood up and so did I.

Damian and Tom were working at the near table. When they noticed us, Tom stood up concerned

''Layla, don't play with the fucking 014, you know damn well you are dead meat.''

Emma said bored, I smirked at Emma,

''I won't touch you, sister. He's not worth my fighting.''

I went to the kitchen with the women.

When the dinner was ready everyone came to the big table and we ate happily.
