His Devious Rule
324 Game Time
At the Matthews mansion,
The couple went to bed but Gianna kept flipping on the bed. She wasn't happy to get rid of Alvin. Only she knew how restless she was. Cold sweat in the winter, comfy bed never was so uncomfortable, her heart was thundering in uncertainty and also hatred.
Casper's mind was buzzing, failing to meet Alvin. His efforts to contact him failed utterly. He never felt so worthless. He wouldn't have to put this much effort to speak with anybody in Narnia. He wasn't even sure if his plan was going to work and stop the events.
Hence, Gianna's frequent movement on the bed irritated him more. Blaming his fidgety mind on the woman, he got off the bed and went to the study room.
The consequences of Alvin's name spreading to the media had a huge impact on the image of the Matthews family and the company.
Why is the second son of Casper Matthews buying the shares of the company?
One question could make everyone creative with their imagination. And none of it had a good influence on him or the company.
However, the shareholders would come up with their theories. Either they will ask him for a response thinking it might be the Matthews family's plan to have more control over the company or they will fuss up saying Alvin was attacking the company.
The worst prediction Casper was making was, that Alvin probably met all the shareholders and was planning something huge.
More than anybody, Casper knew Alvin wanted to have nothing to do with the Matthews family. That doesn't mean Alvin will sit and watch them silently. He will destroy them and the worst, he will make the Matthews family a big joke in front of the world.
Should he have silently listened to Alvin? How could he let his pride be hurt by his son?
He made a call to a string of numbers and instructed him, "Keep an eye on Alvin's movements." He hung up the call and started working.
It was early in the morning when he went out of the study room for some fresh air. He paused looking at Gianna walking back and forth. He knew Skylark belonged to Alvin, why is Gianna panicked?
He returned to the study, having no space in his mind to think about Gianna.
Whereas Gianna was considering the probability of Alvin escaping. She wanted a different plan to get Alvin away from the Matthews family.
Threatening Anya?
Gianna knew it wouldn't work. Instead, Anya will probably put an end to her leftover freedom.
"Zane Owen," Gianna mumbled.
Zane could bring Anya and Alvin on their knees. It would also make Casper and Cordelia her puppets. They would do anything for the heir.
But the question was, how to get her hands on Zane?
Will Zane attend the party? If not, Zane will have to be alone while his parents will be at the party.
She returned to her bedroom and locked the door. Finding the mobile, she switched it on and dialed a string of numbers, "Listen to me carefully, find out where that Bastard's son is at and keep an eye on him. If he is at Oasis mansion,.." She told him the plan.
[This is risky.]
"Do it," Gianna ordered before ending the call.
She didn't find any other way to control the situation other than aiming at the bastard and bastard's son
——––––––
At Oasis mansion,
Anya made her son stand on the couch and spread her arms without a word. Zane dropped his iPad on the couch and wrapped his arms around her neck.
From the time Alvin left the mansion, Zane could see Anya was too silent and always in thoughts. He spoke when they broke the hug, "Momma, Chipmunk Monster is infatuated by you. Tell him to focus on the conference too." He tried to make his mother relax, seeing her worried.
Elder Collins, Sophie, and Oliver chuckled hearing Zane. Anya tapped on his nose and smiled helplessly. "Naughty boy. Stop teasing your father."
Zane rebuffed immediately, "Then ask Chipmunk Monster to treat me like a son." He clenched his fist and lifted his hand, "He holds me like this. Who does that?" He complained, still annoyed by how Alvin carried him.
The trio behind Anya burst into laughter, understanding Alvin holds Zane upside down. They did notice Alvin and Zane behaving so weirdly with each other. They believed that the father and son needed time to get along.
Shaking her head, Anya loudly sighed pretending to be helpless, "What am I going to do with this father and son?"
Her mischievous son adorably giggled, giving her another hug, "Love us more."
That melted everyone. Anya pampered her son for some time and made sure he was wearing his wristwatch. She doesn't know about Casper but Gianna could go to any length today. The weakest link Gianna will find is her lovely son.
Turning around she softly smiled at Elder Collins who was thoroughly enjoying Zane's company and learning new stuff from Zane. She turned to the butler and housekeeper.
The butler understood her gaze and followed her out of the mansion. Anya instructed, "Uncle Oliver, avoid maids and chefs in the mansion for today. I will return to the mansion right after the conference. Call me or Alvin immediately if there is anything."
Anya considered bringing Zane with her, but Zane will have to be alone or she will have to let Alvin go alone. So the mansion was safer.
The butler had already heard from Rob about the complications and how alert he will have to be. He confidently responded without understanding the depth of the situation, "We will do as you said, young madam."
Looking at the black Mercedes-Benz G63, Anya knew she was safe with that car. It was an armored, bulletproof, G-class wagon. She could easily outwit if anybody dares to target her.
Her eyes fell on Mark who probably had instructions to drive her to the hotel. "No need to follow me. Make sure Zane doesn't leave the mansion."
Mark accepted the commands and opened the car door for her. Alvin wanted him to protect Zane. Anya was capable of taking care of her safety, more efficiently during broad daylight. They didn't have any doubt about her skills.
–––––––
Probably they should have taken Anya's safety more seriously. Anya, who was half a way towards the hotel, noticed a black car following her.
Was she being sensitive?
'Ring ring…'
Anya saw it was a call from Alvin. Clicking on a button at the steering wheel, she answered the call on speaker, [Little Donut, where are you?]
Anya glanced at the rearview mirror. She could drive away, tricking them off in the traffic. But if the car was truly following her, she wanted to see which idiot was daring to target her or who is the real threat to them.
So she needs time to confirm it and handle them. Telling Alvin will make him worry more hence, "I am running late. I will be there soon." She didn't lie though she didn't tell the truth.
Before the call could end, Anya, who should have driven straight to reach the hotel, took a sharp U-turn. She had missed these little adventures that keep her on the edge and highly active. "Game time."
