Siya pov:
We three just landed in New Jersey peacefully but my dad doesn't plan to stop his chat.
Apparently, Dad planned to surprise us!
It's not a bad idea and I'm happy about it, but that is not the case with Steff. She planned something just for the two of us, but as Dad is with us, I guess there are a few changes of plans.
Now, we are in a taxi on our way to the "Hotel Williams".
"Don't you love me?", Dad asked out of a sudden with a pout.
"What?", I asked, totally confused, but looked at Steff to know the reason, as she had been glaring at Dad since he got on the flight.
"Of course, we love you to the moon and back. But uncle, don't you think that youngsters need some sort of privacy at times when they go on trips, especially when we have plans", Steff answered with extra sweetness.
"I didn't stop you, nor did I spoil your plans. I just want to be a part of it and maybe my age is a bit more than yours, but I'm still young by heart.", Dad said with a smile pressing on the word 'young'.
"Oh god... look at Mr. Wilson, our age difference is definitely not just a bit, but 22 years. How can we go to a strip club with you tagging along!", Steff burst out of irritation, but the last part left me in utter shock and before she realized what she said, Dad was glaring at her.
Now my situation is so tense with the two people glaring at each other on either side of me. God, help me!
"So you want to go to a Strip Club?", Dad asked, throwing daggers at both of us.
I was horrified and just shook my head looking at him, but my luck - the other yelled, "Yes!".
I am innocent!
I shook her shoulders to get her back to a bit conscious of what she had just done.
I think she realized what had been happening and she started to look everywhere but at Dad.
"Excuse me, can you please speed up? We are getting late.", Steff hurriedly asked the driver to get out of the situation.
It is gonna be a long day because now I'm sure Dad has a lot to say and he will tag us all along to anywhere and everywhere that we go.
Is it a good idea to come here?
At William's Mansion:
Night 11:30 PM,
Aryan pov:
I just got back home from the hospital, welcomed with silence.
Mom called me to come home and I couldn't say no to her. But I got here pretty late and, guess what, everyone slept.
I made my way to my room, freshened up, and was about to go to bed, but found a note at the side table.
'Don't sleep with an empty stomach. I made your favorite food. Eat it. It's my order!'
I chuckled at it but went to the kitchen. Mom never stops caring us no matter what.
I think that's why they are called parents!
I found a bowl with plastic wrap. I heated it in the microwave and found a simple sandwich.
It's a simple chicken sandwich but a delicious one. I was about to head to bed after I was done with the sandwich, but found a note on the fridge again.
' I made turmeric milk for you. It's in the fridge. Drink it, you'll get the best sleep. Good night❤️'
I heated the milk and was on my way to my room, I found Mia's room lights were on.
On opening the door, I found Finn cuddling with her. I chuckled. All day they would be quarreling, taunting, and making fun of each other, but at the end of the day, they love each other to the core. They look so cute. I took a picture of them and off the light and thought of checking Kian as well.
His room lights were off but the study lamp was on.
Kian was at his study table leaning with his head back on the chair, still having his glasses on. He has a file in his hands probably regarding the Russian deal. Such a workaholic, I think I need to be strict about this behavior.
I did warn him to not stress about work, because work can wait, but not health. He had to take care of himself.
I removed his glasses, lifted him in my arms, placed him on the bed, and covered him with a blanket.
I slept there with Kian by my side in content that no matter what, I have my family with me.
That's all I wish for. A happy family!
(Unknown to the fact that it was never that happy family he had witnessed, but there was something wrong and strange in it)
'Hotel Williams, Room no. 308':
Siya pov:
I am so tired and I just want to lie down but I can't. Wanna know why?
Dad and Steff are still arguing!
I ordered some yummy food in the meantime and grabbed my first love - my chocolate, and enjoyed the drama in front of me.
"Uncle, we are 23"
"Yes, you guys are just 23 and the places where you have plans, are for elders not for kids"
"We are not kids and it's high time, we never get to date someone with your eyes on us. You even bet the s**t out of that guy who gave her a yellow rose on friendship day"
"Young lady, NO cursing, that guy has other intentions and I can't let that happen to either of you"
"Says the one who followed Mrs. Wilson like a lost puppy in his late teens. For your information, Uncle, you were 22 when Siya was born, while Aunt was just 20. Then it's time that we find our soulmates and you have to step back"
"Why would I? You are my kids and I have rights. And regarding me, Mine is a true love. There is nothing wrong"
"Even we might find our true love in the places I have planned and -"
That is when the bell rang and I ran to get my food. Hmmm.... smells so delicious.
I shouted, "I ordered a chicken burger. If you want it, come here". With that, I went to the dining table to find them sitting obediently looking at the bag in my hands.
Food first and remaining next! That's our policy.
I silently took French fries before they lay their eyes on it and went to my room.
What? I don't share my fries!
I came back hiding it in my bag and took a burger, savoring it like the other two who were stuffing their faces as the burger was huge.
They look so funny!
I took a picture of them secretly to tease them when my time comes. *smirking*
"Remember girls, you are to stay virgin at least till you are 50.", Dad warned us before leaving the room. We booked only two rooms, so Steff & I are sharing a room while Dad has got another.
"If that is the case, our kids will call us grandma rather than mother", Steff muttered rolling her eyes.
"Leave it, do you wanna watch a movie?", I asked, throwing the trash in the bin.
"Girl, who watches a movie on Saturday night? It's party time", with that she dragged me to the room.
She gave me a sexy outfit and took her own saying, "We'll party all night".
Steff did my makeup and now we are both ready to take the breath away from the men out there. Steff words, not mine!
We took a few selfies admiring ourselves and made our way to the door revealing -
~ a few moments later~
We three ended up having a movie night watching 'The Godfather', Dad's favorite movie since he was a kid.
Apparently, Dad was standing in front of our room door while we were leaving to party and after a lot of lectures and sweet words, Steff & I changed into pajamas and now we are on our bed with Dad in between us.
Steff & I shared a look and shook our heads knowing we can't do anything now. *sad pout*
Steff looked here and there, not interested in watching the movie for the 100th time now, and I tried to sleep while Dad is watching the movie like a kid watching with immense curiosity, clearly knowing every detail and what scene comes next for all the times he had seen it.
I can smell something... what is it?
I turned to my left to find Steff stuffing her mouth with MY fries that I hid in my bag.
you... *Glaring at her*
I rushed towards my fries, not caring that I was stepping on my dad's feet, and tried to take them.
Steff ran away!
And she did the most horrific thing *Crying internally*
She poured the tomato ketchup on my fries and started eating them, "Too yummy.." while licking her fingers. ewwww.... who likes ketchup on fries? She ruined my fries. My love.
I'm going to kill her!
She put the fries on the table and started running as I was trying to chase and throwing things whatever my hand lays on.
Now we are on either side of the bed and suddenly I felt someone bet me with a pillow and looked at Steff to know the same had happened to her and then I heard someone yell, " Will you stop it? I am watching a movie here", and then he resumed the movie which was on pause earlier.
Steff was looking funny with her big eyes and mouth wide open and I assume I had the same expression looking at Dad who is now so into the movie and totally ignoring us.
I gave a knowing look to Steff and started hitting Dad with the pillow that the feathers were coming out of it and spilling everywhere in the room, making it a mess.
Now looking at Dad, we know for sure of one thing. That is 'We're dead'
Then the whole night we were running to save ourselves and making the messy room even messier.
~One hour later~
We three are so tired from all the running exercise and are now laying on the messy bed cuddling with each other with Steff & me on either side of Dad.
This is heaven. To be in the warmth of Dad, feeling loved and protected. I wish that this happiness stays long.
(Unknown to the fact that a storm is on its way to turn their life upside down and she will no longer feel the warmth of her father)
At Williams Mansion:
Third-person pov:
Everyone is gathering for breakfast. First comes Robert followed by his wife and they sit in their usual seats.
Aryan and Kian were climbing down the stairs discussing some business stuff but looking at their grandparents, they placed in aside and wished good morning.
"When did you come, Aryan? I didn't see you coming yesterday.", asked Robert, to which Aryan replied, "It was around 11:30 grandpa, Mom asked me to come but you were all fast asleep by the time I got here. By the way, where is Mom?", and before the other replies they heard something.
"AAAaaaaaaaaa", there came a sound from the stairs followed by the tapping of feet, looks like the pranksters are up to something!
Mia appeared in the dining area running as if to save her life and quickly hid behind Robert. Then comes Finn, but he looks like he has taken a shower with his clothes.
The angry bull was about to stride towards the little girl but a voice stopped him, "Finn, What are you doing here drenched in water? And did you bathe?". That's Aryan.
"For that, he had to get up early. Right brother?", Mia retorted, giving her extra sweet smile to her fuming brother.
"She threw the whole bucket of water at me. I will not leave her.", with that he was marching with a jug of water towards her but got stopped again!
"Finn don't you dare!" Yes, that's Roman at the door. He stepped forward and said strictly, "It's your fault you woke up late and Mia was just trying to help you. Right princess?", asked her softly at the end.
Mia just nodded showing her doe eyes. I am innocent! - #mia_thenaive
"Princess, you should not carry heavy stuff like a whole bucket of water. Next time, call me. I will help you. Ok darling?", Kian asked trying to hide his smile.
"I will", Mia asked determinedly.
Finn just looked at the scene with wide eyes while the others were trying their best not to laugh at his facial expressions.
"YOU... you guys betrayed me. No one loves me except Mom. I will complain to Mom", with that he started stomping his way to his parent's room to complain to the only person who loves him.
After all, he is a mamma's boy!
But he was stopped again!
"Finn, first go to your room and take a shower", Roman said strictly that Finn didn't dare oppose him and went straight to his room.
"Dad, where is mom? Usually, she'll be the one waking up early and prepare breakfast", asked Kian, and everyone looked at Roman.
"She is not well. I told her not to burden her with the house chores but she just doesn't listen and now she's taking rest.", Roman said shaking his head but Aryan kind of felt that he was hiding something.
"She's not well? Mom called me yesterday and she sounded fine. Wait, I'll go check on her.", Aryan was about to get up, getting concerned.
"Aryan, Jessica is fine but she is tired and needs some rest. Let's not disturb her sleep and have breakfast.", Roman stopped his son and called the maids to serve breakfast.
Aryan finds it a bit strange but shrugs it off, but then he hears Mia mutter voicing her thoughts, "Both mom and grandma get sick at least twice a month and sometimes they become so weak, they don't even meet us or come out of their room. Do we really trouble them that they get so sick?"
He then looked at his grandma and found her simply eating food from his grandpa's hands. When she felt someone staring at her, she turned and gave her grandson a weak smile, and continued eating.
Aryan finds it a lot strange now! Not something. Everything is fishy!
He quickly finishes his breakfast and looks at his father to not find him and Robert clears his confusion without asking, "Husband don't eat before feeding his wife. Roman took their food to their room. They'll eat there. You'll understand it better when you get married".
Just then, Finn comes and everyone has their breakfast chit-chatting, and leave to perform their regular routine.
Aryan is the only one left and he makes his way to his parent's room and gently knocks on the door to get a reply from his dad, "Come in".
The scenario of the room is worth watching, displaying a husband feeding his wife who was on his lap with her back towards the door.
Looking at them, Aryan turned around and left without saying anything feeling awkward to invade their privacy.
Aryan left for the port to deal with the shipping of the Russian materials to help Kian.
(Unknown that the silent mansion is then filled with weeping of his mom, which can not be heard from her sound-proof bedroom)
Hotel Williams:
Third-person pov:
Siya got up early and was ready, looking all pretty that could blue the minds of guys.
She wore a peach-colored faint floral print dress that reached just below her knees.
Siya was just checking herself in the mirror when she found someone back hugging her and squeezing her cheeks.
There stood Steff cooing at her friend and squeezing the hell out of her cheeks.
"You look so pretty. I hope a hotty prince sees you and takes you with him to his kingdom on his unicorn. That would be lovely."
"Ahhh.. leave me. It's hurting.", with that she got off her friend's clutches and looked in the mirror to find her cheeks look red as if she applied a blush.
"My babies look so pretty", complimented Charles, leaning at the door.
"I know uncle", with that, Steffy flips her hair, admiring herself in the mirror.
She wore a single-sleeved white top paired with white pants, looking classy.
"Dear dreamer, get out of your dreams. Dad is complimenting me, not you, by the way, you are not bad yourself". With that, Siya hugs Charles, who shakes his head so done that the drama has started in the morning.
"Not bad... not bad", muttered Steff and stepped forward to Siya and started tickling her, which made both of them fall on the bed with Steff on top of her friend who was a giggling mess.
"Now say, 'Steffy is the prettiest and hottest girl'. Come on say it", she started tickling her more.
"NO... no. I w-won't sa-say", Siya replied between her giggles.
"Oh, darling. I will see how you won't say", Steff challenged and tickled her even more.
Siya couldn't take it and said, "OK... I will say. Just let me catch my breath".
Steff moved a bit, giving her space and with that Siya ran away screaming, "You look like a crying monkey".
Then they both started playing cat and mouse, which was eventually stopped by Charles.
~ A few moments later~
Three of them had breakfast in a nearby restaurant and, as usual, Charles and Steff had a healthy sandwich while Siya had Nutella stuffed pancakes with extra honey. ~I am sweet and I love sweet~ #SweetSiya
They went to the art gallery 'Florence' that was filled with many people and there were celebrities too who were surrounded by people.
But Siya's eyes were struck on all the marvelous paintings until she stopped at a particular painting.
(Its a painting of a newborn baby sucking his/her mother's n****e that visualizes the immunity and strength given to the baby in the form of roots of a tree)
She felt as if the painting was speaking something to her. It reminds her of her mom. She couldn't stop her tears looking at it.
Charles side-hugged her, consoling her and Steff did the same, as that trio had a group hug. Just then, their moment was disturbed by another person.
"Your eyes speak volumes like that of this painting, Miss?", asked someone.
They turn and look at the person and find the one who they come here for! Mr. Rowen Bale, the artist of all the paintings around.
Siya's eyes were twinkling with her tears and admiration at seeing her inspiration standing in front of her.
Not knowing that her every action had been observed keenly by an admirer or rather a crazy billionaire doctor who had his heart skip a beat for the first time in his 28 years of life.
