"Just go." Adane didn't want to pry any further.

Stephan breathe a sigh of relief then exited the office. Five minutes later, he attained the location of Kay and sent in to Bella.

...

At this time, Kay had just bought the children to the mall. It wasn not long ago when she found out from her parents that Bella had children. She was a bit jealous of Bella but recalled that Bella was the one that saved her from Carlos and also gave her One hundred milllion dollars. She decided that she would play the part of the rich aunt and try to figure out more abou Bella's life and the reason as to why she was successful. She wanted to take Bella's place.

Kay didn't know who was the father of Bella's children, nor did she know that Bella was with Adane. When she found out about the children, she was so jealous that she stormed off and didn't get to hear about Adane. After all, Kay still believed that she couldn't have children, so hearing about this made her angry.

"So did your mother tell you about me?" Kay asked awaiting their response.

"No." James replied with no expression on his face.
His siblings shook their head.

Infact, they all knew about Kay, they just didn't like her. They overheard Bella and Verona talking about what happened six years ago and how Kay treated their mother horribly.

They wanted to make her pay, but recently found out that their mother had gotten her revenge, so they decided to let the matter rest.

They knew at a glance that Kay was not their mother, so when she told them that she was their aunt, they weren't surprised.

They tagged along with Kay to figure out if she had any ill intentions.

"So pretty aunt, how is it that mummy didn't mention you before." Camila asked in a soft voice.

Hearing the child call Bella 'mummy' made her angry, but she masked her expression well.

"I'm not sure sweetie." Kay responded with a smile.
Although she hated Bella, she didn't have any resentment towards the kids.

"So who is your Daddy?"

"Daddy?" Jeremy asked.

"Yes, who is your father?"

"Well," Jeremy started to act. His voice started to break and his eyes where filled with tears. He knew that Kay loved money and if Kay knew who Adane was, he didn't know what measures she would take to try and replace Bella. He did recall that Kay married Bella's ex- fianceé instead of Bella.  He continued, "our Daddy, we... We didn't get to live with our Daddy. We didn't ask mummy about him because we were afraid she would get sad."

Catching on yo what Jeremy was plotting, his siblings started to cry as well. Abby was also crying, each time she saw her siblings crying she would remember that her mother was no longer with her.

"It's okay, don't cry." Kay felt pity for the children. It was partly her fault for them not having a father and looking back, it wasn't worth it because Carlos treated her in the worst way possible. "Aunty will buy you gifts and give you money if you stop crying." Kay didn't want to bring any attention to herself.

"Really?" Charlotte asked wiping the tears from her face.

"Yes." Kay replied.

Shortly after they received their food and started eating.

"Camila loves aunty, pretty aunty brought us food."

Kay felt Happy. "Can you call me mummy instead of pretty aunty."

"No!" The kids said in unison.

Kay became upset. She got a little irritated. "Why is that?"

"Because you will never be our mummy. We love mummy and no one else can be our mummy." James replied.

"That's right no one will ever love us as much as mummy loves us." Jeremy followed

"Plus Daddy loves mummy and you can't take Daddy away from mummy." After Charlotte realized what she said she covered her mouth with her tiny hands.

"Wait... I thought you said you didn't have a Daddy." Kay looked at Jeremy then Charlotte.

The siblings then looked at Charlotte with a disappointing look.

James shook his head.

"I-I um..." Charlotte was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe that she blew their cover.

"We didn't say that we didn't have a Daddy, you assumed that." James replied cutting off his sister.

"No, You said that you didn't grow up with your daddy."

"Yes, that's why Jeremy said, we were just caught up in the moment that we forgot to say that mummy found daddy not so long ago."

"Is that true?" Kay questioned looking at Charlotte.

Charlotte nodded.

"So does your mummy and daddy live together?"

"Yes we all lived together." Abby chimed in. She was happy to be in their family. Kay thought that Abby was also Bella's biological child. Even though she looked different from the girls. She had similar features as them.

"So where do you live."

"That's doesn't concern you." Before the children could answer a woman's voice was heard.

They all turned to the voice and then the children ran excitedly to their mother. "Mummy!"

Bella bugged her children. "Are you okay?" Bella asked them with worry written all over her face. She was checking them to see if anything was missing.

"I didn't hurt them you know, there's no need for that." Kay said after realizing what Bella was doing.

"Just making sure. Can't trust anyone lately." Bella said with a hint of sarcasm." Kay caught on quite well but didn't respond for the sake of the children. Bella continued, "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to take up the kids."

"It must have slipped my mind." Kay chuckled. I'm fact, she was telling the truth. She was so anxious to meet the kids after finding out prior to today and decide to pick them up.

"Just tell me next time, I was worried sick."

"Okay."

"Talking about kids, remember that there is something that you promised me."

Bella paused for a while then recalled that she made Kay believe that her eggs were hot viable so she couldn't conceive.

"Ohh yeah, we can go now if you want."

"What about the kids?"

"I'll just call someone to pick them up.

Bella turned to her kids, "Mummy and aunty has some catching up to do. So I'll call someone to pick you up."

"Will you be home early?" Jeremy asked, he didn't trust Kay that well.

"Yes."

Shortly after Bella took out her phone and dialed Stephan.

...

Stephan had just returned to Adane's office when his phone rang again.

Adane looked at him, "You seems to be very busy today."

"No sir, I'm not. My work has my full attention." Stephan was just about to hang up when he saw that it was Bella again. 'Do you hate me this much?' Stephan questioned Bella in his mind.

"If you say so, then why is your phone still ringing."

"It's, It's..." Just as he was about to answer the phone stopped ringing. Stephan breathe a sigh of relief. "It's not important, let's continue."

Just as he spoke the word his phone rand again.

"Hand the phone over." Adane stretched out his had.

Stephan began to sweat. He saw that Bella was the one calling again.
