I groaned and stretched my arms and feet, feeling energized. While yawning, I brought my hand to my mouth to cover it. I walk shakily, rubbing the haze from my eyes. "Wait... what? " I told myself as I looked around the house's interior. "Are you sure I'm not in the underground headquarters?" " I said quietly, almost fmy bodyguardpalming as I remembered what had happened the day before. Is my sleep deprivation so severe that I easily forget things? As I walked into the bathroom, I rolled my eyes. Actually, I'm not sure where the bathroom is because the entire room is white-themed. Simple yet elegant, and I paid a lot of money for it. I walk into what appears to be a bathroom and fix myself. I moved closer to the mirror, pulling my dress in the side so that the fabric matched my skin perfectly, revealing my pregnancy bump. I'm in my first trimester of pregnancy, and they're already showing. Are the things the doctors who examined me true? Is it possible that I am carrying twins in my womb? I sighed and let go of the dress. "Am I going to be a good mother to two children?" " I said loudly, not noticing who had entered the room. "Yes, you will," a familiar voice snapped. Shocked, I turned my body to fmy bodyguard the man who voiced his opinion. “my bodyguard! What exactly are you doing here? ” "You didn't notice I was gone?" " He smirked as he walked towards me. "Oh come on my bodyguard, we only saw each other days ago and we were almost with each other for how many days?" I rolled my eyes. He chuckled and reached for my hair to mess it up, but I kept him in mid flight by striking it sloppily. "Don't mess up my hair, my bodyguard," I threatened, glaring at him, and he chuckled again as he shopped his head. "What?" I asked, curtly. "Relax, Jeiah," he said, raising both hands in surrender. "By the way, your father has requested that you be in the dining room right now," he added as he came through the door to end up leaving me. "my bodyguard, wait for me!" " I yelled after him, jogging behind him. I was mesmerized the moment I stepped outside the room and discreetly cherished the rest of the house, especially the architecture and design. It was a Greek-themed house with statues and statuettes of various gods and goddesses throughout. "Wow," I exclaimed as I walked in awe until I came across one of the massive paintings hanging on the wall. Her lips, her smile, it was all warm and beautiful, like an older version of me. I moved closer to the intricate painting, smiling happily because it only proved how much my father adored my mother. "She looks exactly like you," a voice interrupted us, and I didn't have to turn around to recognize him. "I never thought you'd have this dad," I said softly, wiping my tears away. Dad hugs me by my side after I felt a hand on my back. "I loved her so much, to the point where I can't forget her features, so I decided to paint her, your mother." "I was surprised looking at him for a while, excitement filled me." Wow, Dad! "Oh, you're so wonderful," I exclaimed. "Hahaha, yes, my daughter. After I finished that, I decided to put it here so I could see her when I got home. It was like old times, her standing here, waiting for me." He smiled painfully. I hugged him even tighter to assure him that I was now by his side. "By the way, the food is getting cold. Let's go eat our breakfast. "I assure you, the foods prepared by our chefs are the best," he said as he led me downstairs to the kitchen. Dad pushed the chair in front of me, allowing me to take a seat in the diner. Then he sits like a king in the center. The food began to arrive at the table, making my mouth water. "Wow, dad, this all looks delicious. "Thank you," I said as I began to assemble my plate. "You're not required to thank me, Jeiah. "This is insufficient after all the year we've been apart, and you've been through a lot," he began. "No, dad, I'll tell you a million times that you don't have to do this." "It's enough for me to be with you, dad," I replied. my bodyguard took a seat in one of the chairs, facing me. "What a reunion," he said, shoving foods onto his plate. "Wait," I said, pausing to look at my bodyguard. "How did you get in and out of here without Taffy knowing?" my bodyguard, aren't you an agent? Why is this so? " I inquired, perplexed. "That's what we call using brains, Jeiah," he smirked at me. "What about Uncle Toffy?" I rolled my eyes at him. Is he aware of my whereabouts? I felt bad for leaving him without saying goodbye properly. I'd like to thank him as well for looking after me and providing me with the roof of that headquarters." "Don't worry about it; I already explained it to him," he shrugged. "And he accepts it in that way?" I seriously doubt it, my bodyguard." I broached the subject once more. "No, he kicked me in the balls and pointed a gun at me." He might have killed me if my reflexes weren't quick enough," he explained, shaking his head in disbelief. "You deserve it," I yelled, sticking my tongue out at him. When he heard my last statement, he choked on his water. "If you weren't my hal-" he paused, his voice hanging in the air. "What are you trying to say?" I knitted my brows. " I inquired, but he shook his head and returned his full attention to the food. …… "my bodyguard is your half brother," Dad said abruptly, causing me to choke on the steak I was eating. “W-WHAT?! " I coughed several times as I tried to process what Dad said. my bodyguard got a shocked look from me. "What's the deal with your reaction? You don't seem to want me to be your brother, do you? It hurts," my bodyguard said, putting his hand to his chest and pretending to be in pain. I noticed he wasn't as cold when we first met, and the way he treated me in the headquarters was far from how he's acting now. He's cracking jokes and conversing with me, using an entire sentence and various facial expressions. Wow, it's great for him and looks great on him. "Stop being so dramatic, my bodyguard," I rolled my eyes before returning my attention to my food. "Was all of this planned?" " I asked my bodyguard, as Dad ate and listened in on our conversation. He doesn't want to interrupt our brief conversation. "It was Toffy's mission that I was given. I had no idea it was about you, my half sister Jeiah. I saw you with Blast once, and your name was Callixta, so I doubt Toffy planned this well. I only found out the truth after Toffy explained everything. I want to jump into happiness because having a sister is a dream come true, but when I was with you, I doubted it." He made a fmy bodyguard that made dad laugh. "my bodyguard was one year old when I and your mother met. He was abandoned by his mother in me, and Arizza took care of him during her stay here." Dad finally spoke up about the situation. "I remembered Mama Arizza." "She's really good at cooking." my bodyguard smiled, but then looked at me with concern. I shook my head to tell him it was fine to tell him those things. I mean, even though I hadn't seen my mother since I was a baby, he has memories and knows what it's like to be a mother. I'm envious, but my bodyguard hasn't done anything to make me dislike him. Allow the past to be the past and move on. We finished the meal with a little more talk and conversation that didn't stop due to my bodyguard mouth. He squabbles, tells stories, and brags about something. The maids began cleaning the table, and Dad was about to stand when I stopped him. "Are you busy, Dad?" " I inquired, unsure. "Actually, why not?" " He replied. "May I speak with you privately?" "Of course, anytime, baby." "Follow me to my office," he said, motioning for me to go upstairs. "What are you up to?" my bodyguard inquired. ” "I'll tell him about my babies in my womb," I said quietly as I walked away, looking at dad's silhouette. "Ohhhh," my bodyguard said, dragging his words out and wiping his mouth with the napkin. "Do you require assistance or a companion to explain it further to Dad?" " He expressed concern, but I reassured him with a smile. "No, I believe I can handle this on my own." "Thank you for asking and for everything, my bodyguard," I said before turning my back. I barely shut the door after entering my father's large and spacious home office. It was spotless; each piece of furniture was well-plmy bodyguardd and clean, with almost no visible dust. I noticed Dad sitting on one of his couches, holding a wine glass and waiting for me. "Sit down, Jeiah, so we can talk properly." I walked to the seat and sat slowly, my hands on top of my knees. I was nervously playing with my fingers to avoid fidgeting. "Don't be afraid to tell me what's bothering you," Dad gently squeezed my hands. "D-dad, you're not going to be angry, are you?" " I asked, shaking my head and giving me a small smile to continue. "I-I, I..." I was devastated by his nervousness and fear that his future grandson would reject him. "I'm pregnant, dad," I said, my eyes welling up with tears. I was expecting him to get angry or do something else that would elicit a negative reaction from him, but instead he hugged me. I was imprisoned in his warm embrmy bodyguard. "Shhh, baby, hush now." I already knew that, and if you're concerned about my acceptance of them, don't worry about it. "Whoever their father is, they are still my grandsons," he said in my ear, making me cry even harder. "Yes, Greyson Blast is one of my greatest adversaries, but I can't deny my blood." My grandsons, because your mother would kill me if I didn't." His final words made me laugh. "Thank you, Dad," I said cheerfully. "Always welcome my daughter; don't be concerned as long as Blast didn't harm you or the babies." As long as he keeps his distance and never crosses the boundaries set in this mafia world." "Another father, I... I kill—" "Shhh, forget about it, okay? I knew he wanted it so badly, and I knew that day would be the end of his life, so don't worry about things over which you have no control, okay?" I nod my head in agreement, hugging him even tighter, and sniffed several times, attempting to catch my cold. I stood straight before saying goodbye to dad, letting go of his embrmy bodyguard and wiping my tears. "I'm bothering you too much, dad, I'm leaving," I smiled. "Hmmm, be careful, and you can explore the entire house. If you require my assistance, please contact one of our maids or one of the guards stationed throughout the mansion. If it is critical, you may also come here directly." "Yes, Dad, you got it! " I replied, smiling from ear to ear, demonstrating that I am now fine. As I walked down the stairs, I smiled. "Are we content? " Someone said something that made me stop in my tracks. "Of course, brother! Hahaha!" "Dad has confirmed that he is fine with my unborn children," I stated. "That's fine, but I want to show you something," he said as he snatched my arms and carefully dragged me downstairs. "Whither are we going?" " I inquired, following his steps to the hallway leading into a room. "You'll know when we arrive; just be patient," he said. "Won't that put me in jeopardy?" ” "You won't, and I'll never do it." "I won't hurt my nieces or nephews," he said, gripping my hand. "I know that, but I can't afford another mishap or run from the enemies or Scorpions, yah know." "I see your point," he said as he turned the doorknob. "Buttttt let me show you this first, this ml came from an inside person of ours in the Blast's company and mafia," he began to explain. "Do you mean it's all about them?" " I clenched my other hand into a fist, enduring the pain the nails caused by cutting my flesh. "If it's not relevant, please don't show it to me," I said as I entered the room. In the cubicles, there are multiple computers and different webs. There are some people inside who are working hard. "What brings us here? " I asked him again, lowering my voice to avoid drawing attention to myself. "I need you to watch something," he suggested, tapping one of the workers on the shoulder. The man took off his headphones and turned to fmy bodyguard us. "Sir," he said politely. " Sir, what can I do for you?" ” my bodyguard replied, leaning forward, "Show us the inside recorded clips from the Scorpion's Don mansion." He lets go of my hand and plmy bodyguards his on the table. "Yes, sir," the man replied, tapping quickly on the keyboard. He opened one of the folders he found. The screen briefly blacked out before revealing the interior of the mansion via audio-video CCTV. "Wow, you're all so good at hacking those; from what I've heard, they have the most restricted data and videos, especially in the mansion." my bodyguard smirked, "A piece of cake." "Whatever, my dear brother," I said as I leaned into the cubicle. Greyson was walking down the hallway when I noticed him; it was a top view because the cameras are all in the corners of the wall. When his phone rang, he quickly took it from his pockets. I saw his brow furrow, but I answered after a few more rings. "What exactly do you want?" " He inquired coldly on the other end of the line. "Long time no see, Mr. Blast," a deep voice replied. "Yeah, but I'm not looking forward to speaking with you again, Mr. Obvisi." "Are we a typical Scorpion, or what?" "What on earth do you want, Obvisi?" "I want the transaction to be finalized as soon as possible, Blast." "HAHAHAHA, and why did you make the assumption that I'd agree?" ” "Don't put me through that, Greyson. I'm aware of your plans, and it would be preferable if you agreed to this transaction; otherwise, don't expect me to keep my mouth shut for so long. My mouth automatically speaks when I feel the thickness of money and the scent of its paper. "Tsk, tsk, tsk." Greyson groaned and threw his phone against the wall. "And what will I do with this video, my bodyguard?" " I inquired, perplexed. He slapped his forehead in frustration. But what am I to do? For Pete's sake, I still don't get it! Yeah, I know it's good for them, but what about me? Knowing they were in the mafia, it was a simple and normal conversation. "Didn't you hear what Mr. Obvisi said?" ” I nodded, "yes," but later knitted my brows. "I'm still not sure, my bodyguard. Please get to the point," I said as he touched the part of it. "Ouch, Jeiah, you can't be sadistic, can you?" "Just say it! You've been telling me words I can't even understand! You're not math to be this difficult to grasp!" I stared at him, my hands in my waist. "All right," he said, raising both hands in surrender. “Mr. Obvisi is aware of your existence and was aware of your pregnancy. Blast's current strategy is to use his wife as a pawn. We were all aware of Angel's pregnancy, which could have been a lie or that the father was not Blast." "Wait a minute!" How did you find out about it? And how can you claim Angel is deceiving Greyson? " I stepped in. "As I previously stated, we were all aware of it. Angel works as an undercover p********e. Who knows if her unborn child is someone else's child." "But why did Greyson marry her if he was aware of the situation?" ” "He's planning something, but Obvisi knows about you." He knew your children in your womb were the true heirs of the Scorpion's mafia, which is why he's threatening Blast to reveal the information." "Fuckers, how evil they are to involve me in such transactions. And if Greyson knew there was a chance it wasn't his child, why is he still taking care of her to the point of bringing her in front of the altar?" Before snapping my fingers, I allowed myself to be lost in deep thought. "I recall my bodyguard!" I told Matthew about a miscarriage that resulted in the baby's death. Perhaps Greyson purchased it? Or did he already suspect I was lying? ” "We're not sure about that sister, but I'll have plenty of time to look into it," he replied, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Thank you, brother," I said as I took a few steps back to return to my room. "Please notify me if Mr. Obvisi makes a mistake." I'd be happy if I was the one to teach him a lesson about not interfering or getting involved in this dirty game. "A lesson will suffice," I said, turning around. . I opened the door, but before leaving, I said something that stunned my bodyguard for a few seconds. "Fine, if they're playing and involving me in the game, let the game begin," I smirked as I walked away from them.
