His Devious Rule
246 Notorious
Monday morning at the Oasis mansion,
Zane was sitting on the head seat of the dining table. He was in his school uniform layered with a warm jacket that had a school logo on it.
He looked right and left repeatedly while having his breakfast. Excluding Alvin, he found everyone behaving strangely.
His Godmother was pretending to be normal but was overacting for everything. Little Linus was pretending to be unaware of everything but his smile couldn't be more fake.
Chipmunk Monster was his usual indifferent but often narrowed his eyes at his Mommy. Zane was more interested in his mother's behavior. She was avoiding to look at Alvin, sometimes she pouted, and sometimes squeezed her eyes in awkwardness. She was so lost in her world, that she didn't take notice of Krystle.
Zane was right, Anya wanted to bury herself deep into the ground. She had just woken up, Alvin had served her wine in a flute with a full bottle. He was bone-chillingly courteous, scaring her to wits.
'Ms. Owen, here is your order of wine. Would you like something else? Some spicy nuts or dishes to go with it? Or how about a bowl of fruit?... Perhaps a knife to kill me would be a better choice…'
He taunted her until she swore she wouldn't get drunk. Anyway, he didn't believe her as a little wine over a glass could knock her off.
"Zane Baby, Mommy, and God mommy are going to drop you today and go shopping. Do you want me to get you anything for your new home?" Krystle's boisterous voice filled the air.
Zane jumped off his chair and reached for his new school backpack. He fumbled through the zip and passed a paper to Krystle, "Godmother, I have made a list." His mother was anyway going to pay for everything so he didn't worry about who he was giving the list to.
Krystle read a few items and burst into laughter, "Annie, your son has made a list for you." A backrest pillow for the study room chair, anti-glare glasses, hair bands, hair ties, 3 chunky warm throws, and the list continued about small details Anya will need.
Zane returned to his seat when his mother went through the list and giggled, "My baby is the best." He let his mother kiss him and heard her add, "Mommy will try to cover all your things. Please remind me if I forget something." Forgetting one or the other thing was normal. So she asked for his help.
"Sure, Momma." Zane flashed a sweet smile and returned to eating.
Then Krystle continued her overly exciting act. Alvin barely glanced at the two who were sitting opposite each other like strangers. He looked at his Little Donut whose attention eventually shifted to Krystle with worry, losing her appetite.
"Alvin, I will see you at the registration office." Anya stood up tugging Krystle with her.
Krystle choked on water and Linus's smile turned real assuming they were going to register their marriage.
Alvin ignored their reaction and hummed, "My lawyers have prepared the papers. Check it if you can." He has gone through it.
Anya displayed the OK sign, rubbing Krystle's back.
'Lawyers!?' Linus and Krystle frowned thinking why would lawyers go to the marriage registration bureau, 'Divorce?' They shook off their thought and deduced as it was about the Nest Villa registration.
"Baby!?' Anya extended her hand to her son.
Zane got off the chair and bid the two, "Bye Little Linus," Then squinted his eyes at Alvin who gave him a challenging look, "Chipmunk Monster, don't trouble my Mommy."
Alvin snickered, 'Trouble Anya?' Only if Zane knew she was behind his life six hours ago. Anyway, he waved his hand, the little bodyguard won't be there to keep an eye on him.
Zane could read Alvin's mind looking at his expression. So he gave his duty to Krystle who was laughing her lungs out hearing 'Chipmunk Monster,' "Godmother, don't let Mr. Matthews bully my Mommy."
Alvin and Anya: "…"
Krystle saluted taking up her job, "Yes boss." She chuckled following the mother and son out.
—————
In front of Elite International school,
Anya kneeled and embraced her son, "Have a good day, baby."
"You too, Momma. Don't get exhausted." Zane gently patted his mother who was unwilling to let him go.
Krystle grumbled, "It's just five-hour school guys." And it wasn't even Zane's first day of school.
Anya snorted at her friend and stood up. A black Jeep came to a halt next to her black Benz Wagon. A girl's cheerful voice floated to their ears, "Zane…"
The girl got out of the car quickly and ran over to Zane. She was a bit shorter than Zane, slim compared to the chubbiness of Zane. "How was your vacation?"
Despite Zane greeting the girl with a nod, he wasn't distant from the girl. Anya had told him they didn't have to tell them all their troubles and struggles. So he plainly responded, "It was amazing, Jovina."
Krystle whispered to Anya's ears, "Don't you think our Zane is an exact copy of Alvin." The way he nodded and responded was like he was detached from the world like his father.
Anya knew about it a long time ago. Zane's lively affectionate side with a few members was because of her.
"Aunt Anya, long time." Jovina smiled, skipping over to Anya.
Anya gave a warm hug to the little girl, "Jovina, I missed you."
Jovina waved her hand at Krystle and looked at her father who was leaning on the car, "Jass, will you pick us up or Aunt Anya?"
"Uncle Jason." Zane greeted the man.
Anya looked at Jason in a black tracksuit, and sunglasses, standing all cool and suave. Krystle forced a smile, there was time she was dropping Zane to school just to check out Jason until she got to know he was over thirty and was married.
Jason nodded back at Anya before responding, "Your mom will pick you up, Vina."
Jovina pointed at Zane. Most of the time, it was Anya or Jason or her mother picking both of them. "Then Zane? I want to complete my homework with him." Since they were picked up together, they always completed homework before they parted ways.
"Kids, get inside quickly." A lady announced when it was time to close the gates.
"Momma, Godmother, take care. Uncle Jason, bye." Zane, who took a step, looked back at Jovina. She was standing with her lips curled down, looking pleadingly at her father whose attention was elsewhere. Zane held her hand and jogged inside.
Following Jovina's line of sight, Krystle noticed Jason looking at the road but his eyes under the sunglasses were staring elsewhere. Noticing his seriousness turning somewhat frightening, she tugged at Anya's jacket, "What… is going on?" She whispered.
Jason glanced at Anya under his sunglasses. Somebody seems to be following Anya. He gritted thinking the Chief Justice was finding a chance to attack Anya's weakness.
She was notorious, telling her about it is like inviting disaster over the administration department. Since Zane was safe in the school, Chief Justice wouldn't hurt Anya, Jason immediately left the school to meet Chief Justice, without saying a word to Anya.
