{ BECCA/VERNON }
One of Veronica’s front teeth flew out, and she started falling in a slow mo.
____
“Regina!” Mayor gasped.
“Good riddance” Regina smirked and faced Aaron.
“You ok?” She asked , caressing his red cheek.
“I’m fine, mum” he smiled.
Veronica finally landed on the ground with a loud thud.
“Ahh!” She groaned as blood ran down her chin in a thin line.
“Veronica!” Mayor squatted beside her, and she began crying when she saw her knocked out tooth on the ground.
“How do I look right now!!! My tooth is gone!!! My tooth!!!”
She looks so funny with the gap in her teeth as she cried like a kid, and Regina began smiling.
“Regina! How dare you touch her!” Mayor shot, looking up with a deadly glare.
“And how dare she touch my son! You know it better than anybody that I don’t joke with him so ask her why she’d slap him like she’s got everything in the middle of her palms when she’s nothing but a horny sl*t!” Regina shot back.
“Watch what you say! I have the power to send you back to Britain and you wouldn’t be able to come back till I say so!” Mayor shouted angrily, standing up to face her.
“You said that too when you were exiling me last year, but what happened? Here I am, darling Mayor” she smiled, pretending to dust his shirt in the front before pulling him closer by it, so their faces are mirroring.
“You can’t get married to Veronica” she muttered seriously.
“What!”
“Yes, cos we’re not divorced, I still have the right to this house so far my son is still here! And about the company…” She smiled, and Aaron came closer this time.
“I’ve always told you I don’t wanna inherit the $h|t, but yunno what? I’m taking over it either you like it or not! and it’s only fair that I take over, mum owns it anyways” He said boldly.
“Aaron!” Mayor snapped.
“I own it! Not anyone else!” He snapped back, and Regina let go of him.
“The corruptive manager is in the police web, he got caught” Regina said, and his eyes widened again as his phone rang. It’s his lawyer.
“Hello? Mr Walker?”
“What?” He replied impatiently.
“I just got a call from the cops about manager Justin, he got caught luckily, and you need to visit the police house today” the lawyer replied, and he hung up immediately.
“Run along” Regina smiled, and he hardened his jaws.
“Are you interested in knowing how I came back despite the restrictions you placed on my passports and documents? I’ll write it in a book and publish it. You should buy, I guess I’m making a lotta money soon, darling” Regina laughed and walked into the house
“Ted, come with me” Aaron pulled Teddy in too, leaving the mayor and Veronica outside.
Mayor dialled his PA number immediately, burning with rage as it rang.
“How the hell is Regina back? Why the f-__-k is she back in Manhattan!!! I placed more than enough restrictions on her movements!!!” He yelled.
“I’m so sorry, sir, I have no idea and…
“To hell with you!!!” Mayor interrupted and hung up, throwing his phone away.
He began walking in angrily
“My…my…mouth” Veronica cried on the ground, and he turned around to see her still sitting there helplessly with her funny looking teeth.
“d@mn you!!” He yelled.
•••
“Lady Regina!” Mr Tiffin gasped shockingly when she came in.
“Mr. Tiffin!” She smiled widely, walking fast to him.
“My lady, how did you…
“It’s a long story, but I’m back now” she replied, hugging him lightly.
“It’s good to have you back” Teddy said, and she faced him.
“Aww! Our Teddy grew more handsome, come here” she smiled, hugging him too.
“My second dad!” Aaron shouted, jumping on Mr Tiffin like a kid.
“Oh! I might just fall!” The old man laughed as they hugged.
“Who told you he’s your second dad? He’s mine alone” Teddy rolled eyes.
“Are you jealous right now?” Aaron winked.
“My foot” Teddy pouted, and they all laughed.
“We really have a lot to talk about, Mr. Tiffin” Regina said.
“Then let’s go to your favourite resting shed, I made sure the maids kept it clean” he replied.
“I trust you” she smiled, and they both left the boys.
“So, tell me who’s the girl? Mr Salvador was trying to wound you that night cos you got another girl, right?” Aaron said.
“We haven’t really snapped a picture together yet, our relationship is a week old, and things happened at the trip, so…” Teddy said.
“She doesn’t have a media account? I’m dying to see her!” Aaron pouted.
“JennyBear on IG” Teddy replied.
“Yes!” Aaron gushed, getting his phone.
He went to IG to check her out, and his eyes couldn’t help but pop immediately he beheld her cute pictures.
“f-__-k! She’s a baby! Aww! But I think I know her”
“Really?”
“Wait… Maelsa? Isn’t she the only daughter of the owner of Maelsa group? She’s the daughter of Tanya Sanders!” Aaron gasped.
“Yeah” Teddy smiled.
“I love that woman! She’s my second woman crush after my mum!” Aaron winked, and Teddy laughed, but it was shortened when Aaron jumped on his back like a kid.
“You haven’t stopped this jumping around of a thing” Teddy laughed, adjusting him well on his back as he started climbing the stairs like that.
“I love doing it with you especially, bestie! I missed you!” Aaron shouted, kissing his neck.
“Stop kissing me I’m not your girlfriend!” Teddy laughed.
“I refuse to listen” Aaron replied, kissing that same spot again.
“Aaron!” Teddy shouted.
“Ted!” He replied, and they both laughed as he entered his room and dropped him on the bed.
“So… You didn’t get a girlfriend in Britain?” Teddy asked.
“They were all after my face and money, it’s hard to find the one I swear, so I just did one nightstands” Aaron winked.
“You’re not a virgin anymore?” Teddy gasped.
“No way! I f-__-ked” Aaron winked again.
“Welcome to the world of maturity!” Teddy shook hands with him, and they laughed as they fell on the bed together.
“Aaron” Teddy called suddenly.
“Yes?”
“I think I now know why The Mayor told me to study BM” he said.
“He obviously wants you to take over the company since I told him last year that I wouldn’t be taking it, and he’s aware of the game all these while, that devil only played along” Aaron replied.
“If I had figured it out earlier, I’d have turned him down, I can never take what belongs to you, never” Teddy said.
“We can just take over together” Aaron said.
“Nope, I’m switching to musical arts tommorow, I’m gonna follow my original dreams” Teddy replied.
“Aww! Really?”
“Sure, but I’ll need your help, it’ll be faster to switch before exams with your help” Teddy said.
“Of course! Anything for my Ted!” Aaron hugged him, kissing his cheek.
“Get away!” Teddy pushed him, but he came back again.
“No, I’m sleeping here tonight, and from now on,you can’t eat without me in this house”
“But,…
“Mayor? I’m not the Aaron he controlled last year oh boy” Aaron said, and he laughed before hugging him back.
“I missed you a lot!” Aaron gushed.
•••
Michael’s eyes opened slowly, and immediately he detected he’s in an hospital, he sat up in bed, and his eyes widened when he saw all The Knights in front of himself.
“Finally you’re awake, twinnie” Aaron smiled.
He turned his face away and sighted his shoes on the ground.
He got down from the bed and made to wear it, but Aaron place comfort slippers in front of him instead.
“It’s not advisable to wear shoes yet” he said.
“Oh…” Micheal blinked, putting on the fluffy slippers.
Aaron smiled and stood, hugging him tight.
“Thanks for playing the role well, though I don’t like how you bullied my Ted” he whispered.
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t planning to, but the fact that he’s so perfect despite his poorness always annoyed me, and… And about Seth, I only grew hatred for him cos I heard he betrayed Vance, I detest betrayers actually, but now that I know he didn’t do it…” He said, and Aaron broke the hug.
“Now what?” He asked.
Micheal faced The Knights, and Pascal closed his eyes immediately.
“Gawd, how can this resemblance be?” He muttered in confusion as Micheal went on his knees in front of them.
“I’m sorry for any inconvenience I caused, I promise to return to the orphanage where I belong” he said.
“What!” Pascal and the rest gasped.
“What are you talking about?” Aaron held him up .
“I don’t belong here” Micheal smiled lightly.
“You’re one of us!” Aaron shot.
“No, Micheal Cooper is different from Aaron Walker” he shook his head and walked out of the ward.
“See? He never listens” Seth said as they ran after him, but before they could get out, he was already in a taxi.
“Gawd!” Vance muttered.
“I badly want him to make a comeback photo$h00t with us, together with Ted” Aaron said.
“So we’re having two new members? Are we six now?” Pascal said happily.
“I can convince Ted, but Micheal is…” Aaron said sadly.
“Leave him to me, I’ll handle him” Seth smiled.
“So… Where should we go tonight? It’s our first get-together this year” Vance said.
“Our usual… Bemelmans!” Aaron shouted, and they did a group fist bump.
“But before then, I have a press conference to attend this afternoon” he said.
“Press conference?” They all chorused.
•••
The taxi stopped in front of the building, and Micheal stepped out slowly, looking sick in the hospital uniform and fluffy slippers.
He payed with his card that’s luckily in his pocket, and he started walking in slowly, into the home he deserted a year ago.
Before he knew it, he was already in tears, and he covered his mouth with his palm.
It was Danielle who ran out of the orphanage first, and her eyes widened like mad immediately she saw him.
“Michael!!!” She screamed, and he cried more as the other kids rushed out.
Danielle ran to him first, jumping on him so tight before the other kids joined them.
He had to drop Danielle and crouch in front of them to hug everyone of them at once.
“Kids” he whispered.
“Dad!” The kids started crying.
Granny Edgar’s wheelchair was pushed out by Vernon, and immediately Aaron saw them, he stood.
“Granny” he sniffed, and the old woman smiled.
Vernon pointing up the diary, and his eyes widened.
“You came here to look for this two days ago, right? I found it in Becca’s things” he said, and Micheal smiled sadly.

<6TH LANE HOTEL>
A white limo halted in the afternoon sun, and the backdoor was opened by one of the guards in front of the building.
Regina stepped out, looking elegantly regal in her sunglasses and white suit.
Aaron came out of the other backdoor, and together, they stepped into the hall which was already filled with reporters from various news stations.
Cameras did their jobs, focusing on their faces till they got to the front where they have 100 percent attention to themselves.
“Finally, I’m back from exile” Regina smiled, earning herself more camera lights.
“And this time, no going back, I’m gonna do all I have to do to take back what’s mine” she said sternly.
?️ According to The Mayor, you went to Britain for rest
“He sent her there on an exile then he restricted her movements and documents” Aaron replied, and the cameras shifted to him.
“The truth is… Dad has never loved mum, it was a marriage of deception from the onset, and love made mum sign over the company to dad” he said, and eyes widened.
?️ Lady Regina owns Sunrise?
?️ How come?
?️ Is that true or another groundless attempt to ruin his reputation?
“Mayor has no reputation to protect, it’s all in shreds already” Aaron said firmly.
“And yes, I own Sunrise” Regina smiled.
•••
“Arggggghhh!!!!” Mayor screamed, throwing away the remote immediately he finished watching the news.
“That devilish woman! She ruined everything!” He breathed, grabbing an expensive porcelain to smash on the wall too.
“Regina!!! I knew I married $h|t that day, how dare you!”
He got his phone and dialled his PA.
“Get here right now!!!” He screamed.
•••
?️ I can’t want for the festival!
?️ Same here! I hope I’ll be in same team colour as The Knights
?️ You think they’d all be in one team?
?️ I don’t care! I just want one at least!
?️ The festival highlight is always the liveliest! Heard The Knights will be showcasing their visuals, isn’t is insane? Gosh!
?️ Bonfire night too!
It’s the only thing the students are talking about as they walked the campus, nothing else.
The school festival is coming up in a week, and it’s always full of grandeur, so much that students from other campuses come to watch.
“But isn’t it insane? The festival is next week, and our exams starts in two weeks” Miranda laughed, coming out of the library with the girls.
“The school management is always mean, but i can’t wait anyways, I just wanna be in same team with my boyfriend, team White!” Jennifer winked.
“I’m already in team Pink with Seth, I’m seeing my future RN!” Miranda gushed, and they faced Leslie who’s staring into space.
“Leslie, what’s up?” Jennifer asked.
“Kiss ignores my messages and calls, he still avoids me too” she said sadly.
“What!’ they chorused, and then Pascal was sighted going into a class.
“I’ll be right back!” She gasped and ran down the busy hallway, almost falling as she kept bumping till she got to the front of the class.
She opened the door impatiently, and her eyes widened at what she saw.
It’s an empty class, just Pascal and a girl inside.
She’s on her knees, sucking his Ďïčk while he groaned.
Leslie covered her mouth tightly before shutting the door.
Hot tears were already escaping her eyes as she ran down the hallway.

<3PM~ SANDERS’ MANSION>
“How come I’m just hearing about your boyfriend on the day of your picnic? And you even forced me to make your meals with you? You’re one foxy daughter” Tanya said as she helped Jennifer pack the meals she made for her picnic with Teddy.
It’s finally today, and they’re gonna be sleeping out together, just the two of them!
“Now that you know, can you just help me pack silently? Shhh!” Jennifer replied, and Tanya laughed as she packed the last package.
“So…what’s his name?” Tanya whispered.
“Teddy Tiffin” she replied.
“Teddy? Cute name!” Tanya smiled.
“And that’s cos he’s the cutest guy living, my bear” Jennifer replied, and Tanya was about to talk again when a car honk interrupted her.
“Oh! My baby is here! He’s here!” Jennifer grabbed the bags and rushed out of the house.
It’s indeed Teddy, standing beside the car. His dressing is a bit different today.
He’s wearing a tight pencil jean on white sneakers and a armless white singlet, then a face cap which he’s wearing backwards on his long hair.
He took the bags from her halfway, and he placed them on the trunk of his Rolls Royce (the one Pascal gifted him for the T or D game)
“You look more handsome” she hung her arms on his neck.
“Seriously?” He held her waist, brushing his nose on hers.
“Seriously” she replied, sticking out her tongue.
He sucked it into his mouth and pushed it back into hers before kissing her repeatedly.
“I’ve always been waiting for today” she whispered.
“Me too, let’s hope you’ll be able to handle me” he winked naughtily.
“What do you mean?” She smiled.
“You’ll see” he moved his lids before opening the door for her.
She stepped in, and he got on the driver’s seat, driving away.
“Whoaaa!!!!” Jennifer screamed out through the open window.
•••
Vernon was busy staring at the anklet he got for Becca when his phone rang beside him.
He didn’t want to pick at first, but the ringing persisted, so he took the phone and swiped green.
“Hello?… Vernon” the familiar voice said, and his eyes widened madly.
He spranged up immediately as his heart began beating so fast… the voice is…
“Vernon, it’s me…. Becca” her weak voice said, and his eyes widened more.
The call ended immediately, but another call came in on duo with the same number, and he picked with shaky hands.
Immediately her face appeared on screen, he held the phone tighter.
It’s really Becca! Her head was wrapped with a bandage, and she’s wearing a hospital uniform, her face so pale.
“Bec..ca” he stuttered shockingly, and she smiled slightly.
“Did you miss me? I missed you more” she whispered.
“Where are you? Right now!!” He cried out as he ran insanely out of the house.
