Paying the Price

Chapter 57: Oliver

Today was another horrible day at the Price house.

Well, castle but you know what I mean.

Oakley and I left June and Janae in their rooms to talk when I remembered what Janae had mentioned in the cell.

"Oakley, have you checked on the twins and their nanny?" I asked my brother.

He was the one that hired her as we were not able to fully take care of the twins at all times. For example, when we were put in a cell by our Father.

The four of us had been raised by a nanny as our parents never did (and still don't) have time to take care of us.

"No, I haven't had the chance. Let's head up there now," he said and the two of us headed upstairs to their room.

The four of us shared a room when we were younger so we put the twins in there since it still had all our old toys and such.

It was on the second story whereas our rooms and our parent's room were on the first.

That is because when we were babies are parents hated being woken up by us crying and moved us up there by ourselves.

Oakley knocked on the door and an older woman opened up. "Oh hello, your Highness, nice of you to stop by."

Oakley nodded, "Yes we just came to check up on-"

"Oakey! Oliver!" Owen yelled and then came running over followed by Jenifer of course.

Jenifer jumped in my arms which was still a bit of a surprise but she quickly whispered in my ear "Help."

What was that about? What did she need help with? I was about to ask her when Oakley drew both of our attention to Owen who just winced in pain.

What?

More importantly. Who? Who hurt Owen?

"Oh, he is fine your Highness. He was just a bit naughty today and got a little punishment. He is all better now though," the nanny responded to Oakley's question.

I felt Jenifer snuggle closer into me. She had now completely hidden her face in my shoulder.

I was going to kill this nanny.

That is if my brother doesn't kill her first. Speaking from personal experience, Oakley is like a ticking time bomb when someone hurts his siblings.

Thankfully, Oakley fired her right on the spot. If he hadn't I would have just by the way that Jenifer was holding on to me.

"Are you okay baby?" I whispered to Jenifer.

She lifted her head and looked at me. She had tears coming out of her eyes. She nodded her head yes but obviously she was lying.

I just held her closer and then looked to Oakley who was carrying Owen. He nodded his head toward the twin's room and I nodded back.

The two of us entered their room still holding each twin and sat down.

"Owen, I would like the full story on Madison and what she did to the two of you." Oakley looked at Owen who was squirming around on his lap.

"Um, well she has been super mean since she met us. She is always yelling at us that we need to be more respectful even when we are. She also has been yelling at Jenifer a lot for not speaking. Today she yelled at her again and almost made her cry so I yelled back and then she picked me up, took my pants off, lay me on her lap, and then spanked me. After she made me sit in the hard chair till she felt like letting me up and then made me apologize."
