A Recipe Of Conception

She walked them to the dining table. "There is a lot of food Did you make it?" Jason asked surprised to see so much.

"I told Auntie Olivia not to make so much but she didn't listen, she doesn't make so much for us not even on our birthdays, but I guess she likes you a lot," Adrian said both Jason and Raymond coughed awkwardly.

Olivia came out with the last dish. "Jason you are here." Adrian wanted to sit close to him but Olivia rushed to sit before he could.

"Let's eat I am so hungry," Adriana said stuffing her mouth with food.

Jason was eating and Olivia kept asking him to take different dishes.

"I am full miss..." He forgot her name.

She was sad that he forgot her name. "Olivia, do you want to see something nice?" She still won't give up.

Jason knew he had hurt her by forgetting her name. As he struggled to remember Olivia's name, Mikaela intervened, trying to save the situation.

"Don't worry, Mr. Evans, it's okay. You can just call her Olivia." Jason nodded, relieved, and continued eating.

The dinner conversation was lively, with Adriana and Adrian chattering excitedly about their day.

Raymond observed the scene, a small smile on his face, and he was happy to see Mikaela and Olivia getting along so well with Jason.

As the evening wore on, Jason began to feel more at ease. He started to enjoy the food and the company.

Olivia, sensing his relaxation, began to open up more, sharing stories and laughter with him.

"Uncle boss boyfriend, thank you for the food and snacks yesterday," Adriana said.

"It's okay." Raymond likes Adriana a lot.

"Are you my sister's boyfriend now, You should be, and take care of her. She always takes care of others and she doesn't rest cause of me and my brother." Adriana was the truthful type.

"Shut up Adriana," Mikaela said

"I was only telling your uncle brother-in-law, to spoil you cause no one does." Mikaela covered her mouth.

After dinner, Jason thanked Mikaela and Olivia for the meal and excused himself.

"I should get going," he said, standing up from the table.

"Thank you again for dinner, it was delicious."

Mikaela walked him to the door, with Olivia and the twins following closely behind. "Thank you for coming, Mr. Evans," Mikaela said, smiling. "We're glad you enjoyed the food."

As Jason left, Olivia turned to Mikaela with a huge grin on her face. "I think it went well, don't you?" she asked, bouncing up and down excitedly. Mikaela smiled, laughing at her friend's enthusiasm. "Yes, I think it did," she replied, happy to see Olivia so happy.

The twins, who had been quietly observing the scene, suddenly piped up. "Can we have a movie night now?" Adriana asked, her eyes shining with excitement. "Please, big sister?" Adrian added, joining in.

Mikaela smiled, happy to oblige. "Of course, let's have a movie night," she said, and the twins cheered in delight.

As they settled in for the movie, Mikaela couldn't help but feel grateful for the warm and loving atmosphere of her home. She was surrounded by people she cared about, and she knew that she was exactly where she belonged.

Just then, Mrs. Thompson, their nosy neighbor, knocked on the door.

"Mikaela, dear, I saw some unfamiliar cars visiting your house today. Everything okay?" she asked, peering curiously over Mikaela's shoulder.

Mikaela smiled politely. "Yes, Mrs. Thompson, everything's fine. Just a dinner party with some friends."

Mrs. Thompson's eyes widened slightly. "Oh, how lovely! I'll have to come over for tea soon."

Mikaela nodded, knowing she'd have to invite Mrs. Thompson over soon to avoid her prying further.

Mrs. Thompson's face lit up with a warm smile as Mikaela nodded.

"I'd love to have you over for tea, Mrs. Thompson. Let's plan something soon."

Mrs. Thompson beamed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Wonderful! I'll bring some scones. How about next Wednesday?"

Mikaela agreed, and Mrs. Thompson bid her goodnight, already looking forward to their tea date. With a satisfied smile, she closed her door, feeling included in Mikaela's life.

As Mikaela closed the door, she let out a sigh of relief… but her peace was short-lived.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed with an ominous message: "You shouldn't have invited her." Mikaela's heart skipped a beat as she stared at the unknown number.

"Who was behind this, and what did they want?" she babbled in her mind.

The screen faded to black as she stood frozen, her mind racing with questions... and fear.

The movie played on, with the twins snuggled up on the couch, and Olivia and Mikaela sitting together, enjoying each other's company. It was a peaceful and relaxing evening, one that Mikaela would treasure for a long time.

Meanwhile, Jason was driving back to his office, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Mikaela and Olivia. He couldn't help but feel drawn to them, especially Mikaela.

He wondered what it would be like to get to know her better, to see beyond her secretary personality.

As Jason pulled into the office parking lot, a spark of curiosity ignited within him. He was determined to unravel the mystery that was Mikaela.

But was he ready for the secrets that would soon consume him? The darkness closed in; shadows loomed, whispers echoed... and the ground beneath him began to shift. Jason's instincts screamed warning, but his determination pushed forward.

Little did he know, the truth about Mikaela would unravel a web of lies, deceit, and danger that would forever change his life...
