Oliver's POV
I was dead tired and miserable by the time I got home. I will call John when I wake up. I showered and brushed my teeth and went to bed.
I closed my eyes but Macy's voice keeps playing inside my head.
"You know I loved you, right?!"
Over and over and over again.
I started getting migraine. I tried sleeping again. After all the tossing and turning, finally my body gave up and fell asleep.
I didn't want to wake up yet but my phone wouldn't stop vibrating. I forced to open my eyes. I checked, it was 11:31 in the morning and I have 28 missed calls. Most of them were from John, my secretary. There were 3 from Loise and a few voicemails.
F*ck! I dialed my voicemail.
"Hello sir, it is rather really urgent that you call me straight away."
All voicemails were from John. Who's been calling me since 8AM.
I also checked 1 text message.
Loise: I am taking the kids home with mom and dad. If you two won't start acting like adults, I swear I am going to take these kids with me back overseas and you won't ever see them again!!!!
Argh! How did I ended up with all this mess?
Then I remembered Macy.
Did she slept well? Did she had a bad hangover? I should have left her some panadol on her bedside table. I hope she feels better when she gets up. I hope she has a nice day.
After a few minutes of thinking about Macy. I decided to call John and asked what was the problem.
John: hello sir.
Me: what's the matter John?
John: you really need to come to work sir. There was an incident overseas. There was a fire in one of the tankers. We are being sued for negligience and workers compensation.
I only slept in and then something bad happens! Damn it!
I quickly got up and changed. I didn't even think about having coffee first. I went to the office as fast as I could.
When I arrived, everyone was frantic. I immediately did a video conference. I found out that there was a faulty wire that caused the fire. How was I to know that, right!? That's the reason why I employ and pay people to make sure those stupid things don't happen!
I yelled out at everyone in the video conference. I had a bad night and I f*cking don't understand why people can't do their job properly!
And because people will make this a big issue, I need to fly overseas now to fix it personally! Great!
No one died but one apparently was heavily injured.
This is the reason why checking and rechecking is a part of the policies! Idiots!
I combed my hair both my hands in frustration.
How am I going to fix my own problems if I have to fly overseas. I sighed.
I decided to fly overseas in the afternoon. I just want to fix the issue quickly so when I come back I can concentrate on my personal issues.
Loise's POV
I woke up with the twins snuggled with me. I slowly stood up not to wake them. I was going to check Macy but I remember that Oliver was here last night so I went straight to the kitchen. I saw Mrs. Cowen cooking.
"Goodmorning Mrs. Cowen." I greeted her.
Mrs. Cowen is the Snider's helper. She manages everything in the house. And she has been with the Snider's since Macy was young. Apparently, she was a victim of domestic violence and the Snider's took her in and she hasn't left them since. And her waffles are to die for.
"Goodmorning Miss. Would you like me to make you some coffee?" Mrs. Cowen kindly offered.
"That's fine. I'll make my own cuppa."
I walked towards the coffee machine and started making my coffee.
I sat at the barstool enjoying my coffee.
I don't really know how to make coffee. But Macy insisted I learn, so, she taught me how to make coffee back when we were living overseas.
I was almost finished with my cup when I heard little footsteps.
"Goomorning aunty Loise. Goomorning Mrs. Co-en..." Basti greeted us while he was rubbing his eyes.
"Goodmorning munchkin." I walked towards him and picked him up into a hug.
"We're going to see gramma and grumpy today." I informed him.
"Yay! Play with gramma and grumpy!" Basti excitedly answered.
"That's right! We're gonna have some fun!!!" I excitedly told him.
We waited for Vivi to wake up. Then I helped them eat their breakfast while Mrs. Cowen helped me pack their stuff. I told her to pack for a few days.
Thankfully, I used dad's SUV to get here last night.
We were about to go when Vivi asked about her mother. I just told her she went to work while they were asleep.
I called my mother before coming so there was so much food when we arrived. They were happy and excited to see their grand children. I also told them that they might stay with us for a few days. Of course they didn't hesitate. But I saw mom's concerned face.
Vivi and Basti are about to take a nap when I remembered I haven't informed their parents where they were. So I texted Oliver and Macy.
My message to them:
I am taking the kids home with mom and dad. If you two won't start acting like adults, I swear I am going to take these kids with me back overseas and you won't ever see them again!!!!
I was really angry at both of them. How could they let this happened?! For all I care, they can kill each other but I'm not going to let them hurt the twins.
Macy's POV
I opened my eyes and my world started spinning so fast. So I closed them again. I have a f*cking hangover! Why do I always make the wrong choices in life!
But I really have no choice. I have to check the kids.
I woke and went to the ensuite straight away to urinate. Then I started feeling the burn from the pit my stomach then it went up to my mouth and I vomitted. I spent half an hour vomitting hydrochloric acid. It added more pain to my already aching brain. I drank some water from the tap and washed my face. Then I felt dizzy. I sighed.
I went back to sit on the side of my bed trying to recover from my vomitting. I was trying to recall what had happened last night. I looked at myself and I noticed that I was already wearing a different set of clothes. Maybe Mrs. Cowen helped me change last night. Then I also remembered that I have trashed dad's study last night, so I quickly stood up and went to check dad's study. Thankfully, when I opened the door. I saw Mrs. Cowen cleaning up the mess.
"I'm so sorry about last night Mrs. Cowen" I was embarrass.
"No problem miss." Mrs. Cowen answered.
"And thank you for looking after me last night." I added.
"Oh no, no... your husband was here miss. I saw him going out the door at 5 this morning."
I was surprised! Oliver was here?
Then I remembered about my kids. So I quikly walked away from Mrs. Cowen and went to the kids room. I opened the door slowly so I won't wake them up. The room was quiet and empty.
I panicked!
Oliver was here last night. Did he just kidnapped my kids???!!! Oh no no no... I forgot about my hangover and went running to my room to call Oliver. How dare him kidnap my kids!!!
I couldn't find my phone straight away. My heart was already pounding so hard I started to hyperventilate.
I finally found my phone. Thank god! It fell under the bed.
I quickly unlocked it only to find some missed calls from work and a text message from Loise.
Loise: I am taking the kids home with mom and dad. If you two won't start acting like adults, I swear I am going to take these kids with me back overseas and you won't ever see them again!!!!
A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth. Thank god they were with Loise. But how did that happen? Did Loise came early in the morning?
I have to find out.
