His Devious Rule

At the Oasis mansion, Hill Valley

Sleep-deprived, Ean was sitting on the bed and deep breathing to control his urge to break his mobile into pieces. He couldn't switch off his mobile as he would get calls and messages from all over the world wherever Alvin had opened his museums and excavations are ongoing.

In the past, Alvin participated in excavations and looked over the auctions. Now, everything was on him. Alvin became a boss who works the air-conditioned room and he ran around looking over the projects.

"Why did everything change?" He shrieked at himself as he used to enjoy the office meetings and traveling the world at his convenience. Now he has to rush everywhere.

"All because of her." He answered to himself and rolled on the bed.

He didn't mind working hard or double, but suddenly things got heavier from the time Anya came back into Alvin's life.

'Hahaha Momma… Hahaha…'

Ean heard chortles and the kid's boisterous voice. He knew Anya had a son but never got to see him. Rolling off the bed. He went to the floor-to-ceiling window which was barely open.

Pulling the drapes away, he saw Anya having the brightest smile he has ever seen. It was still hard for him to digest that Fluffyball had become so… Sexy. What was more attractive was her unrestrained laughter.

She was playing with a little boy who slipped on the grass and fell on his butt. Anya followed him and fell purposefully making the little boy hold his stomach and laugh his heart out. Both of their faces had turned pink in cold or probably exhaustion or their laughter.

Ean's sight indeed brought a smile to his face before he sighed. Whenever he saw Anya in the past, she was either clueless or silent as a mouse, or studious. He never really saw her laugh or enjoy herself.

He snickered when a thought crossed his mind, 'This stubborn fellow definitely fell for her smile… Into her dimples.'

Dragging his exhausted body to the study room, he found Alvin completing his work swiftly. He slapped his mobile in front of Alvin on the file, "Shouldn't Daltons avoid you like a deadly virus? Why the hell are they calling me to ask for your appointment?"

Alvin pushed the mobile aside and continued to read the file. If his Little Donut sees a file in his hand while going to hunt her new house, she wouldn't take him. So he has to complete most of the work by lunch.

Ean snorted and blocked a few numbers before breathing a sigh of relief. Then he opened the mail and placed his mobile back in front of Alvin.

Alvin was about to push it away but identified Anya's personal email id. Glancing at Ean, he read the sent mail,

[What is your motive to reappear in Alvin's life?

If you are thinking to seduce him and use his money, I suggest you disappear from his life. I won't spare you if I find out your ulterior motives.]

Alvin pushed the mobile away. Anya had all the right to get angry at Ean. It was him who appeared in her life.

Seducing him? Alvin wanted to laugh at that thought of Ean.

Use his money? He was ready to give all of it to her but his Goofball was running away to get her own little house.

Alvin didn't waste his time getting angry at Ean or explaining the reason behind Anya's disappearance.

Ean would have fought with his friend if he scolded him. He was just worried Anya might disappear again and flip Alvin's world upside down.

Ean opened a video and pushed his mobile in front of Alvin. The latter was about to throw Ean out, a resounding slap came from the video.

Anya's face was clear on the video when she slapped a woman whose back was facing the camera. "Who is she?" He wanted to know if somebody was troubling his Little Donut.

Ean, who was waiting for Alvin's reactions, choked on his spit. He grabbed the mobile and looked at the video. How did he identify Flora from her back view when Alvin couldn't?

Ean smacked himself. He didn't identify Flora, he read it. He received the video mentioning Flora was beaten by a new beauty in town.

He tossed the mobile back, "Flora Dalton. She was bullying a girl. But the new beauty in town took over the show."

The expression Ean anticipated finally came. Alvin turned as cold as an ice globe. The new beauty in town was the same as new money who wouldn't be respected but seen as a new toy to play with.

Ean quickly moved his fingers on the mobile screen to show the messages and confessed, "The video is on the group." The group had only men. "Why the hell will you give her the Mercedes Wagon? All are finding her as a good catch." He shrugged. He had ignored the video due to his heavy schedule until somebody mentioned the car.

'Good Catch!? To get their bones broken.' Alvin snickered and focused back on the file. He was displeased thinking men will irritate her. He wanted to make her chubby or gouge all the dirty eyes that falls on her.

"Go and rest." Alvin finally spoke for his friend.

Anyway, Ean held his stomach and went out saying, "I am hungry." His routine had completely changed due to travel between the three countries in the past few days.

Alvin checked the time and sped up his work as it was close to lunchtime.

—————

After lunch, Ean felt more exhausted to go to his home so he rested in the mansion.

The Butler and the housekeeper bid the Owen couple. Alvin chose to drive the car, Zane sat with his grandparents and Anya was in the shotgun seat.

"You could have arranged the jet," Alvin said to Anya after knowing Dennis and Catalina were going on high-speed rail.

"They will be more comfortable on the train." And she will focus on their comfort.

Dennis and Catalina didn't interject. The car was driving out of the main gate when they noticed men at the gates. "Who are they?"

Alvin was silent so Anya responded by her guesstimation, "Probably they want to meet Alvin." And he doesn't meet just anybody.

Dennis and Catalina looked at each other. They invite and talk to strangers who stand at their gates. Whereas Alvin doesn't bother even if people are waiting for him. So contrasting.

Anya turned around and asked permission, "Mom, Dad, I was thinking of bringing Alvin home. What do you say? You two were very reserved here, he should see how we actually are." They talk, laugh, cook, and play together. Their home will be boisterous unlike how silent they were in the mansion.

Alvin glanced at Anya and focused on the road. Dennis smiled while Catalina chuckled, hearing a hint of excitement in Anya's tone. "Your Dad has invited your boyfriend home." She caressed Zane's head as she added, "You three don't need permission to come home." She wholeheartedly welcomed Alvin.

Catalina was curious to see Alvin's reaction and behavior in different situations. After all, rich parents spoil their sons and they might not be able to get along with them.

Zane, who was silent between the elders, rose, "Momma, let's go to granny's place. There must be lots of snow. We can build a bigger snowman this time." He wasn't excited about the snowman, but building it bigger and taller than last year.

Anya chuckled, "Sure, Baby. Let's find and settle in the new home first. Then we will plan." The winter starts early in her hometown as it is closer to the mountain range.

Zane happily agreed. The day he builds the biggest snowman, he should be able to hold Alvin upside down, couldn't he?

The three accompanied Dennis and Catalina until it was time for the boarding. Then they set off for house hunting without noticing a car following them at a distance.

...

A man who was driving a black sedan hurriedly reported to President Dalton's secretary over a call. "A man, a lady, and a boy returned to the car and left the station. I heard the lady addressing the man as Alvin. He must be Alvin Matthews." There was relief in his tone while saying 'Alvin Matthews.'

When he started following the car from the Hill Valley, he was doubtful if the man in the car was Alvin Matthews as he didn't have a picture of him. While passing by next to them in the waiting area of the railway station, he heard the lady calling the young man as 'Alvin.'

[That's good… Why didn't you take a picture of them?] The secretary was certain he could have identified Alvin by the picture as he had seen him five years ago.

The driver was kind of frightened as Alvin Matthews wasn't a simple man. So he didn't want to draw attention to him. "Crowded." He lied.

[Never mind. Who are the lady and boy?]

"That I don't know." The driver shrugged as he maintained the distance between the cars.

Since the car he was following was a Rolls Royce Phantom, it was impossible to miss it on the road. If he is caught by Alvin, he will just say he was fascinated by the car and followed them.

The secretary also didn't care about the lady and the little boy as his task was just to get Alvin's location to President Dalton.

[Alright, be careful and keep me updated. President Dalton will reward you handsomely if his work is done.] Then he hung up the call.

The driver was obviously thrilled to earn well for measly work.
