《The Rejected Mate》17 - Unexpected
Advertisement
I went back to the city on the next day. I still have a lot of job to attend and I promised my kids to go home every night to check if they're doing their punishment very well.
"Maam , someone's waiting for you in your office , I let them in"-Belle said
"Who?"
"Mr. Wringgs ma'am"-she said and I furrowed my brows. Archer again? I stride towards my office and opened the door , I was ready to blow at him when I was taken aback to see who's with him.
"Awnt Aveewa!!"-Anna screamed happily and run towards me , she hugged my legs.
"Little Anna you're here!"-I said and scooped her on my arms.
"I miss you Awnt Aveewa"-she said
"I miss you too dear"-I said kissing her on the cheeks before I look at Archer. He flashed me a uneasy smile and walked towards me
"Surprise?"-he said unsure
"You're lucky you brought Anna with you"-I said glaring at him he chuckled and encased us inside his firm arms , he buried his face on the crook of my neck and inhaled
"Problem?"-I asked
"I had fight with Allisa"-he said
"And that's why you went here?"
"We're staying here for I dont know until when"-he said
"Awnt Aveewa-Awnt Aveewa , momma huwt me , I have a wot of bwuises , on my buttocks and on my back"- Anna said taking my attention and raising her dress behind. I put her on the table and inspect her back as she said and my eyes widen to see the bluish-purple marks on her skin. I looked back at Archer
"Sorry I wasn't there when she did that..I was outside doing my job.."-he sighed
"I was actually just planning to have a lunch together with them..yesterday"-he said
"This is unbelievable Archer , Anna is just a baby , how can she do this to her?"-I asked and he sighed
"I dont know what's gotten into her either. Aveera , Allisa is getting seriously different as time goes by..she isn't the sweet and nice Allisa anymore"-he said
"I know my sister is not that nice and sweet at all..but I can't believe she can do this to her own daughter"-I said
"Me too Aveera.."-he said
"Awnt Aveewa , can we go to the maww today??"-Anna asked
"Pwetty pwease?"-she said flashing her cutest puppy eyes and I chuckled. I am the one who taught her that.
"Fine , but later at lunch cause I needed to finish some works first"-I said pinching her little nose

"Yepee!!"
"Okay , so maybe while Aunt Aveera is doing her work , I shall do my work too , promise me you'll behave Anna"-Archer said
"Pinky swear"-Anna said raising her pinky finger. Archer smiled and pinky swear with her. He then gave her pen and papers and let her draw as he put out his PC to do his own work. I went towards my table and started my work for today.

I went out of the bathroom just to hear my phone ringing continuously. I immediately pick it up. After a long tiring day with Archer and Anna outside I already went back on my apartment and they also headed towards Archer's penthouse at W•Hotel.
"Hello?"
"Momy I thought you're going home"-it's Marc.
"Baby sorry , I'm too tired already , I'll go home maybe tomorrow"
And I forgot to go home even until the next other days. I bit my lip as I try to contact Marc , they are not answering my calls since last night , it's been four days since they were suspended from school and I never went home since then , when I called last night to apologize that I could not go home again , Marcus did not respond again and told me he is tired and was retiring to bed. And now even Marc wouldn't answer my calls. They must hate me for not going home and not doing what I promised.
"Something's wrong babe?"-Archer asked raising his gaze from his PC. Anna was playing with her barbie and playhouse in the corner of my office.
"Nah..just a little conflict with a client"-I said shooking my head and putting down my phone.
"It's already lunch time , let's go out?"-he asked
"Okay"-I said and fixed my things first. He also called Anna to fix her and after a while we already head out.
"Where are we going to eat?"-I asked
"Hm..where do you want baby?"-Archer asked towards Anna
"Jowwibee!"-Ana said pointing the fastfood chain , Archer immediately made a signal and have a u-turn towards the fastfood's parking area.
"Just fries and spaghetti for me and a chocofloat"-I said as I settled in a table. Anna was provided a chair for kids.
"Okay , I'll just order our foods"-Archer said. We waited for Archer to finish ordering , just as he arrived with a tray my eyes snapped towards some familiar figure on the other side of the fastfood looking at me. My eyes widen to meet those two different shades of silver orbs staring back at me.

"Aveera what's the problem?"-Archer asked looking towards the direction I was looking at and he looked at them curiously too. Marcus was the first one to jump off his chair and go out , followed by Marc and I followed the both of them outside.
"Marc , Marcus!"
"Who are they momy? Why are you with them?"-Marcus asked in his angry tone
"You are not answering my calls Marcus , Marc , why is that? And why are you here in the city?"-I asked
"Because you're not doing what you promise"-Marcus said
"You told us you are going home but you didn't!"-Marc said
"I'm sorry guys , I am just in a complicated situation right now"-I said sitting on the sidewalk
"Forgive momy okay? I really wanted to go home , I miss you , but I am just finding a right time"-I said
"Who are they momy?"-Marcus asked once again.
"They are.."
"Aveera"-I look back and saw Archer striding towards our direction Anna following him behind.
"What is happening Aveera? And who are these kids?"
Oh god. The both parties stared at me accusingly. Why do I feel like..cheating on my boyfriend or something?
"I am Marcus"-Marcus stepped in and extend his hand in front of Archer. Archer lean down into a squatting position to level himself with the kids.
"Well , nice to meet you , I'm Archer"-he said amused taking Marcus hand for a shakehands
"I am Marc"-Marc said and doing the same way
"Now , why are you with our mom?"-Marcus asked directly making Archer dumbfounded
"Your mom?"
"Yeah! Our mom!"-the twins said in chorus
"Aveera?"-Archer looked at me confused
"Oh my god. I dont think I can handle this situation right now"-I said standing up and massaging my temple
"Explain this Aveera. I dont understand what's happening here"-Archer said standing up and going towards me
"Explain why does these kids appeared out of nowhere claiming you as their mom. And explain why are they..why are they like the little version of me..how?"-he asked in a low voice glancing at the kids who are shooting him some glare
I bit my lips and sighed. I do not expect this , and this is not definitely the situation I expected for my kids' first meeting with their father.
"Fine I'll explain it. But definitely not here in the middle of the street , let's go back towards my office"-I said
The ride way back to my office is silent and anxiously. With Nanny Gabriela and the twins behind , Marcus and Marc's face were like a carbon copy of each other , with both a frown on their foreheads , while Archer is at the shotgun seat glancing at the twins behind once in a while. On his lap is the innocent Anna eating fried chicken oblivious of the tension around her.
"Who is that doll with you?"-Marcus suddenly asked directly towards Archer making him clear his throat
"This is Anna..my , my daughter"-he responded almost respectfully. He is anxious too and I almost laugh at him for being polite towards Marcus , they're definitely two decades of an age gap.
"Is that your daughter? Then who's her mom?"-Marcus asked again
"Her mom is--"
"We're here , let's go to my office now"-I announced parking the car properly and going outside. We silently walked towards the elevator again. Everyone's eeriely quiet and I am already contemplating on how to explain everything here..what's shall I do? I am not prepared with this confrontation. It happened so soon..but I can't deny it to my kids , I can't fool them , I know they already has a hint about this.
"Nanny Gabriela since when did you arrived here in the city?"-I asked
"Just this morning ma'am , the twins wanted to go to you but they decided to eat lunch first"-Nanny Gabriela said
"I am sorry we did not inform you"-she added
"No , no , it's alright"-I said
The elevator door dinged indicating that we stopped on a floor , when the elevator door opened we were lead to my office floor. Everyone went out and went inside my office. Once everyone were already seated in the couch I felt nervous again. I am seated on my swivel chair in front of them while Archer was seated in the couch with Anna in front of him were the twins. Nanny Gabriela stayed outside with Belle.
"Okay"-I clasp my hands together
"How shall I start this?"-I asked
"Introduce us Aveera"-Archer demanded
"Okay.. Archer , these are my kids , they are six years old.. Marc and Marcus Gil , boys , this is Archer Wringgs , and this is Anna"-I said pointing the two
"Why is Archer looks like us?"-Marc asked. I took a deep breath before I answered that million dollars question.
"He is your father"-I said. Everyone went quiet for a few minutes just looking at each other.
"Then how about that little doll?"-Marc asked again pointing Anna who sunk on her seat slightly hiding behind Archer's arm
"She is your cousin..half sister"-I said awkwardly.
"Why?"-Marcus asked now
"What?"
"Why is he our father , Why is he not with us? , Why is she our cousin and half sister?"-Marcus asked and I took a deep breath. Now , how do I put these things up?

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

The Badboy Prince Just Can't Resist
"Why are you so nervous?" "I'm not.""Your pupils dilate every time you look at me. What are you so worried about, sweetheart?" He asks me, his warm breath fanning my ear. I rolled my eyes, and he took that as a response. "Why are you so afraid of me, Annalise?""I'm not," I repeated in a firm tone, trying to stop my body's temptation of leaning into his touch. "Then why can't you think properly while so close to me?" Damien's lips were now grazing my ear. His strong arms expertly pull me in, arms crossed around my waist ready to spin me back out. I despised the way he made me feel when we would dance, as if I liked being under his lead- it infuriated me. "I can think just fine." I spin myself back out, trying to take control. He chuckled,"This is why I find you so intriguing. You want to resist me, and I haven't found somebody like that before. It's quite frustrating, having someone who doesn't bend to my will."The nerve of this man!I scowled,"I'm not just going to follow your every command. Being a Prince doesn't mean you gain-""I could give you anything. A title or land, and any other girl-""I'm not just 'another girl' who will bend to your standards. I don't have time to pamper your ego as if you own the school.""In fact, I do. Thank you for reminding me sweetheart, sometimes I forget." Arrogance laced his tone, sending my fury into overdrive."I am nobody's sweetheart, especially not yours."His laugh sent vibrations through my body,"You have never failed to amuse me. I think we should get to know each other better." I felt his lips against my ear curl into a sly smirk.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Cover by @afranticdreamer#4 romance #1 royal 9-29-2020#1 kingdom 3-30-2020#3 king 4-3-2020#1 princess 4-13-2020#1 new 5-14-2020-All rights reserved -Kick back and enjoy a book with a little bit of mystery, magic, humor, and don't forget romance
