His Devious Rule

At The Nest,

As soon as the private jet landed in the capital, they hopped on the car and Anya directed the chauffeur to a regency to check out a villa.

Anya didn't ignore Alvin's concern. She told him about the location so that he can look into the safety and security of the regency.

After a quick look through, Alvin hummed, "Not bad." Although it wasn't up to the standard he would choose for her, the place and even villa in the catalog were sufficient for the time being.

Keeping his laptop away, he couldn't understand her hurriedness, "We could have checked… Tomorrow." Alvin's voice faded away when the car came to a halt behind a Buggati and his eyes fell on the man who was leaning on that car.

Alvin: 🤨

It took him no time to turn into a cold, arrogant man.

Zane smiled and looked at the same man, "Uncle Earl!" He got out of the car from the front seat and flashed a polite smile at Earl as he waved his hand.

Anya turned to Alvin and cued him to get off. "Let's see if you will like it."

Alvin narrowed his eyes on the woman. Was she dumb? Or giving blind an eye? Every nerve of him could sense Earl Lewis was very much interested in her on the day Earl came to the Oasis. Yet she was accepting his help.

He wanted to instruct the chauffeur to drive them to the mansion but will this Goofball listen to him?

'Argh, stupid woman,' He smacked her head without knowing what to do with her.

Anya grumbled immediately, "Alvin Matthews, do you enjoy hitting me?" Though he wouldn't hurt her, she didn't want it to be a habit. She was glad he never did that in front of others.

His lips curled up slyly. He should change his little punishment. "You asked for it."

Before she could fathom what he meant, Anya gasped trying to move away when he cupped her head and seized her lips.

Her eyes widened, 'Why is he kissing me out of blue?' She tried to protest and push him away as the chauffeur was still in the car and the other two were waiting for them outside.

"Mmhmm…" All her words came out like a muffled cry against his fervent lips, as her eyes drooped.

A mewl slipped her lips when his tongue glided over her lips and caught them between his teeth. Her breathing hitched, and her protest weakened when his slithery tongue slid into her mouth.

She was unawarely waiting for his kiss breathless but he suddenly withdrew from her, leaving her hanging.

Her eyes fluttered open when his fingers brushed her wavy hair, the smirk on his lips couldn't be more enticing. But she felt hot, not just her cheeks.

Alvin watched her lips apart, holding her breath, without rushing out of the car or pushing him to create distance. Her eyes were glued to his lips while he continued to tempt her, "I enjoy kissing you."

Anya took a sharp breath, almost asking, 'Why did you stop then?'

As if listening to her thoughts, he again went closer and she didn't even try to protest but he kissed her cheek, "Let's go."

Anya: "..."

Her shoulders jerked when he got out of the car and closed the door. She didn't want to go anywhere, rather bury herself under the duvet and smack herself. He was right, she asked for a different punishment. Unfortunately, this bothered her more than the smack or flick on her forehead.

'Click.' The door on her side unlocked. She pouted angrily at the man but the one who opened the door was her gentlemanly son.

"Momma…" Zane looked at her face red and was concerned, "Momma, are you cold?" He innocently asked.

'I am hot.' She thought to herself and forced a smile. "No, Baby. I am alright." Zane stepped away for her to get off and closed the car door.

"Thank you." She kissed his forehead for opening the door for her. One is such a sweet little angel and while the other one is a tyrannical rogue. She extended her hand to Zane.

Zane clutched her hand, still wondering why she was pretending to be fine. Even her voice sounded a bit strange and her smile didn't have her pretty dimples.

His accusing eyes fell on the man who was sitting with her in the backseat. He decided to sit with Anya instead of the shotgun seat.

On the other side, Earl looked at Alvin's aloof face. He already knew Anya was dating Alvin and that was enough to discern the mystery. That is Alvin was the father of Zane and the first love of Anya or the only love of her life.

He could still vividly remember the day Anya had drawn the line between him and her life as soon as she got an inkling of Krystle encouraging him to woo her.

'Earl, I will forever be grateful for everything you have done for me and my baby. Please don't take Krystie's words seriously. I neither have any space in my heart nor am ready to strain my relationship with Krystie.'

Only if she knew, he went to find her that day to propose to her. His parents wouldn't have agreed or accepted her due to Zane being somebody's son. But Earl was ready to lie as Zane was his biological son and get all the blame for him and adoration for her.

He has stuck right there like a coward, without daring to confess to her so that she could find him when she needs something or he could help her without making her uncomfortable.

Hence Alvin being her boyfriend didn't stop him from helping her as soon as he got to know she was looking for a new and safe place.

Being well mannered, Earl greeted Alvin with a nod of his head. But the petty man snickered, "Looks like President Lewis has too much time in his hand."

Earl didn't bother arguing with the man. He flashed him a faint smile and looked at the car. He involuntarily smiled seeing the mother and son. "Annie…" He titled his head pointing to the house.

Anya's eyes brushed around the area, the regency had unique and different style villas, and the area was of a higher standard than her previous location. It was silent and filled with trees.

Although she wasn't sure if she could afford the villa, she liked the contemporary villa at first sight. "Earl… You always come for my rescue." Anya smiled looking at the villa behind the small and beautiful lawn.

Alvin: "..."

He shifted close to her, draped his overcoat on her shoulders, and snuck between Earl and Anya. The latter elbowed him, yet he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pretending like he did nothing.

Zane and Earl: "..."

Earl tried his best not to judge the man or Anya's choice, "Zane, come on… I will show you the swimming pool."

Zane's sparkled hearing the swimming pool. He looked at Anya who let go of his small hand, giving her silent acknowledgment, "Yes, Uncle Earl." Then the two went ahead with their exploration.

Anya paused and looked at the man next to her. She wasn't annoyed. Current Alvin was far much better than how unreasonable he could be.

Thinking she might start chiding him, he asked in curiosity, "Little Donut, is your salary that high to afford a villa?" Rob updated him that people could only afford a standard middle-class life with a government job unless it was a very high-paying position or illegal money.

Anya hid her smile at his attempt to escape her. She looked to her right and left, then pushed him against the wall.

Alvin: "..."

Why was she turning so uncanny?

She grabbed the collar of his white shirt and tugged him down, "A poor try." She sneered.

She could feel her heart beating loudly, yet she tugged him until she could feel his warm breath fanning her lips.

Alvin didn't expect the temptation to work so quickly. He expected the turtle to take many days and more temptations.

Only he knew how hard it was to withdraw from kissing her. He cupped her face and dipped his head to complete the undone.

Suddenly a sigh left her lips. "Never mind, I will let it go." She sounded indifferent as she let go of his shirt and smoothly slid off his hand, trying to calm her erratic heart.

Baffled, 'Did she just learn from me?' Alvin saw her sneaking away, sticking her tongue out. He gritted his teeth, "Little Rascal." He had forgotten she was a quick learner.
