The next day,
6 am
Zane's residence,
"What are you doing here so early, Karla?" Zane who was dressed in red loose pants with his upper body naked, questioned as he descended the stairs slowly, his hand on the rail until he reached the last stair.
The brunette seated on the grey couch, dressed in a yellow crop top and short flare black skirt, chuckled upon sighting him. His well-tone 6 packs were a delight for the eyes, aside from his good looks.
"Hey, can't I come to see you shirtless?" she teased.
"But you should have called me before coming," Zane stressed before sitting beside her, "Alright, you're here. What do you want?"
"Zane, I'd like us to loosen up at the pleasure park. I want to ride a pony and also the ferry wheel too. It's been so long since I did that," she whined with a pout.
He let out a sigh of defeat and rose, "Okay dear. Just... give me some minutes to freshen up and change,"
"How about I assist you today?" she suggested.
"You desire a f*ck so early in the morning?" he questioned with a raised brow.
"Oh come on. I really just want to assist you in bathing. It'll be faster that way, I promise," she said coquettishly.
He glanced at her exposed legs and cleavage. Her clothes said exactly the opposite of her words. He was pretty sure she was wearing a thong.
"Alright, come with me. But I'm really not going to give you the f*ck you desire," he warned.
She nodded vigorously. "Of course! The important thing is to eat breakfast and go have fun,"
Minutes later,
From the bathroom, unholy sounds and harsh slapping of skin could be heard.
"Nngh… Aah… F*ck me harder, Zane!"
"You slutty b***h! You're so tight!"
…
At the pleasure park,
Regina had taken the eager Crystal to the amusement park to have fun. They got to ride the ponies and do lots of other fun activities. The child's mother didn't tag along. She wasn't fond of such places and since Regina volunteered, Rosalina allowed the kid to come here with her friend.
"I want to eat ice cream!" Crystal excitedly yelled.
Regina nodded, "Okay, cutie pie. Let's go to the stand,"
At the same time, a couple walked over to the same stand to get ice cream.
"Baby, I want the vanilla flavour," the brunette said to her man, whose hand was around her waist.
"Anything for you, dear," he smilingly responded before looking at the vendor, "Sir, one vanilla flavour and one buttered pecan, please,"
The vendor nodded with a smile, "Coming right up!"
"Hello, handsome uncle," a sweet voice was heard, attracting the vendor's and the couple's attention. It belonged to a red-haired little girl smiling cutely. Her beautiful yellow gown with a Barbie logo swayed with the wind, and so did her fluttering hair.
"Aww! What a cute little girl," the brunette said with loving eyes.
"What's your name?" the male asked, also affected by the cuteness of this girl.
"Uncle, I'm called Crystal,"
"Wow! What a beautiful name," the brunette said lovingly.
"What do you want, princess," the mesmerised vendor questioned. It's not every day you see a well-mannered cute girl like this.
"Um… I want strawberry flavour and also my godmother would like a chocolate flavour. Thank you," the girl giggled.
"So cute!" others who saw the girl praised.
"Baby, let's have a cutie like this too," the brunette said to the blonde-haired man.
"Okay," he replied smilingly.
After getting the ice cream and handing one to Regina, she thanked the couple for letting her get her ice cream before them.
"Thank you, uncle, auntie. Love you!" she blew a kiss.
"We too, dear," the brunette said lovingly. The man, however, was in deep thought.
Somehow, this kid felt a little familiar but he was sure he'd never seen her before. She just bore some sense of familiarity to him…
"Zane!" the woman called for the nth time.
Coming back to reality, he saw that Karla had been calling his name severally, "What were you thinking?" she questioned.
"Sorry, dear. I just zoned out thinking how our child would look," he lied. This, however, made Karla very happy.
"Let's go ride the ponies, baby," she squealed excitedly, pulling him along as she walked.
…
Meanwhile, Regina tried her best not to show how angry she felt inside. This bastard Zane dared to show up here with that thing he called a fiancée. After cruelly divorcing her dear friend, Rosalina, he'd pronounced after 6 months that he and this b***h were officially a couple again. And after a year, he made her his fiancée.
Till now, he hasn't married her; the reasons are unknown. Yet they were still together and people were very sure that Karla would be Mrs Edelston one day.
The Edelston corporation was third-ranked best company in the nation and ranked 8 among the top ten internationally.
"Godmother, are you not happy?" the little one questioned, having sensed the aura change.
Regina quickly wore a sunny smile, "Haha! How could I not be happy? I was just practising, you know. Like those actresses in the movies," she lied.
Crystal nodded sagely, "You'd make a good actress,"
…
An hour later,
"I want to use the bathroom," Crystal said to her mom's friend.
"Oh, let me accompany you,"
"No need," the little one shook her head, "I can go myself,"
"Fine! I'll be waiting outside when you're done," Regina nodded and watched the excited girl skip away to the bathroom which wasn't far from where she sat. She wasn't worried about Crystal being hurt but rather about the person attempting to do so being hurt.
Entering the ladies' restroom, Crystal met a black-haired lady with short curly hair applying red lipstick.
"Hello auntie," she sweetly greeted.
The lady turned to look at her and wore a fake smile, "Oh, hi dear. Where's your guardian?"
"She's outside. Why are you putting on make-up?" the little one asked curiously.
"To look prettier for my husband,"
Crystal raised an eyebrow upon hearing this answer from the woman, "Really?"
The woman's fake smile turned into a frown. What was this little rat implying?
"I don't think you need make-up, Auntie… unless you want to act as a PG-18 ghost,"
"What?" the woman was shocked. How can such words come out of a kid's mouth? Who was her mother? If she wasn't a kid, she would have hit her!
"Is it surprising?" Crystal sighed, "You're really pitiful. Many refrained from telling you the truth. And I'm pretty sure your husband is like you, that's why he finds you not spooky,"
Seeing the frown on the woman's face deepening, the girl touched her lips with her right hand, her eyes widening for a second, "Oops! My bad! Mum told me not to lie. I guess I also need to read the situation next time. Anyway, you won't hit me right?" she questioned with puppy eyes that the woman found rather annoying.
With a harrumph, she put her make-up tools in her small bag and stormed off with a twisted expression.
Crystal snorted, "You think I don't know you? My mother's ex-sister. Why should I make you happy? And that other uncle and Auntie earlier won't be spared either. All of you hurt Mommy,"
With that, she entered a stall of her choice to relieve herself.
…
Coming outside, she found her mom's friend waiting for her as promised.
"I'm done!" she excitedly said, "Let's ride the ferry wheel again!" she squealed while the adult holding her hand shook her head with a sigh. This kid was too energetic!
