Chapter 7: PLANS AND MORE THREATS

THALIA'S POV

It's a beautiful Saturday today and I haven't the slightest idea what to do, so I planned to have a little bonding with my kids.

"Luke and Axel darlings where are you? We're gonna have a little picnic in our backyard so you better come down this instant." I said

"Coming mom!" they both chanted together

I prepared the things in the backyard near the pool, set up a big enough umbrella so as not to scorch us with the heat and some sun screen.

"Mother where's father? I thought he'd be here today." Luke asked

"Well your father will get here in a few hours time he just needed to finish some little business with the company." I said back and gave them each a sandwich

"So Ax dear, tell me more about the girl yesterday, what was her name again? Crystal was it?"

"Ah yeah, Crystal uhmm.. Well I met her here in the Philippines and stuff ~"

"He's lying, they met in Greece mom and they were a couple for 1 year and 5 months" Luke said cutting his brother off

"Shut it Luke." Ax said defensively

"So how come we never knew about her darling? She seems like a fine lady to be exact, comes from a beautiful family. So you guys had history I see, care to share?" I said rather curiously

"Uh yeah about that... I didn't tell you guys because I wasn't ready, I wanted to make sure she would be the last and besides I was also in surgery back then I wasn't ready to talk about it anyway...Not until Luke messed it up." he said and glared at his brother

" Hey bro, I didn't want to be in your position anyways OK? Besides I was single and ready to mingle, have you seen those chick ass girls in Greece? Better than your girlfriend. " he laughed and swam away

" Idiot, all I wanted was 2 months of time and that he would just be me for a while till I get well. But look what he did, careless brat, he only thinks about himself. " he said bitterly and chewed his sandwiches

" Well honey, you should have told her if that was the case I'm sure she'd understand your situation. About your brother, he loves you, you know that right? He just isn't affectionate with showing it" I replied looking at Luke doing freestyles in the pool

"Tsk yeah whatever, anyways I didn't want her to worry, I don't want her crying over me or something." he turned his gaze away from me

"Oh my darling baby boy is really grown up, you still love her I suppose?" I teased

"Stop it mom, pfft yeah I do love her still but she doesn't love me anymore... Well that's what she said." he said not assured of himself

"Well, why don't you try and winning her back, I'm sure she'd fall I mean you guys were a long couple and if she really was hurt that badly maybe.... Maybe she'd still have a little space for you left..." I said to him while putting some sun screen on my body about to go for a swim

"Well.... I dunno mom... I guess I'll try? " he said and looked at me with hope in his eyes.

"Well, just try my little boy there is nothing wrong with that. I love you always remember that." I left him and swam of course I would not let myself rot in the sun, the pool is cold and refreshing and that is just what I need.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

" Sir as of now they haven't returned home yet, well the daughter's of course. Virtuoso on the other hand was arranging things in there company dunno much about that sir but we're still tracking them down." explained Brylle

"Very good Brylle, you did a good job, don't let the boys miss a single hour or minute trying to track them down. I want everything reported, but I want you to keep an eye on those girls, I'll be needing them someday." I said and smirked

Little by little I will get a hold of you Virtuoso, you haven't kept your part of the bargain just as I said and you will now pay.

"Brylle, I want you to keep a close eye on their daughters and send pictures to Harmony and Luis of them, write a letter that I will give you through text, you know what to do."

"Yes sir, I'll be on it." He replied and ended the call.

HARMONY'S POV

"Honey, don't you think we should get the girls to come back? I mean... Aren't they safer here with us?" I said out of the blue

He looked at me from behind his computer and rubbed his eyes.

"For now I think they would be better away from us I mean where we are they'll be in much more danger. Its better of only we get hurt just not them." he replied

"But honey~"

DING DONG

The door bell outside rang and we looked at each other remembering what the children said. We slowly stood up and peeked through the window, seems like there isn't a sign of someone outside.

We both walked up to the gate and found nothing outside so we looked in the mail box and sure enough we found an envelope.

We closed the gate and went inside to have a look at the letter inside.

"Ho-honey... It's Crystal and Melody..." I gasped while looking at pictures of my daughter's in certain places and even at the hotel where they were staying

"Look there's a letter... It says..."

We know where your weaknesses are, I hope you learned your lesson in the first gift I gave your daughter's, such a shame I thought it would be the both of you in the house but I seem to have found somewhat of a treasure in return. You know all I want was for you to keep a part of your bargain in the dealership that we had but then again you really thought you could fool us with such things? GIVE ME WHAT I WANT VIRTUOSO'S OR I WILL TAKE EVERYTHING FROM YOU STARTING WITH YOUR ANGELS.

We looked at each other with horror

"Luis I told you from the start that the broker for the materials of our clothing was a fake! But did you listen?! Now look at what's happening! We lost 30 Million EUROS because of this and we just loaned half of what we lost just so we can get a cheaper price for the materials in a new type of clothing since we can't meet the standard requirements for them. " I exclaimed

" I know what we put ourselves into Harmony you don't have to shove it up in my face! We still have our remaining shares of 50 million left just in case of emergencies like these we can give that to them instead. " he said in exasperation

" Are you crazy?! We could lose our positions in the company even if we are the rightful owners and that money is left for our kids! What are you gonna do about it huh? " my voice starting to rise higher then before

" Well what do you want me to do huh?! We have no other choice! Unless we accept that dealership offer by that Clinton parents of Crystal's classmate. "he said and slumped back in his seat

" I can't take this anymore. You know what I'm gonna call the kids and make them come home. " I said and left him in the living room.
