Meanwhile on the other end of the city, in a quiet spot near Deep Water Harbor
Shane sat in a ck Rolls–Royce parked in the shadows
The young man stared expressionlessly out of the window of his car and into the darkness, where the
Deep Water Harbor would be Construction had not yetmenced.
He had had his eye on this piece ofnd. But unfortunately, thend belonged to the Weltons.
Shane had been searching for an opportunity to get his hands on the piece ofnd. Every time, Evan
would intervene at the most opportune moment before he could seed. That had happened thest
time when Evan had bought a textile mill next to the piece ofnd
Shane had been eving that factory as well. He had had ns to purchase the textile mill too
But Evan had done it before Shane could
Now Evan hadplete monopoly over the piece ofnd. If he managed to build a harbor, he would be
able to create a new shipping route that would grant him ess to other cities
It would be another step to fulfilling the man’s ambition of expanding the Welton empire
Once he built an international port, he would be able to crush the Carters easily too
The thought of that made Shane frown. His future seemed precarious
He wasn’t going to let the Weltons seize dominance over the Browns. He wasn’t satisfied with being
merely one of many rich families in the cityThis content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
His ambition was to be the most powerful family of the Nordenic Quartet. He was the one who
was going to take
over the Welton empire
Shane fell into a contemtive silence. His sharp eyes darkened. His long, slim fingers tightened into
fists. He wasn’t going to let Evan have his way
He was going to make sure the harbor never got built.
Shane stared out of the window. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and barked out an order to his
driver. “Start the
car. Let’s head back home
The driver nodded instantly and started the engine without a moment’s dy “Yes, Mr Brown”
The low rumbling of the car’s engine sounded in the night and faded away as the car sped off into the
darkness
In its wake was a trail of white smoke that had been emitted from its exhaust

Day broke. It was a bright and sunny day today. The warm golden light of the morning sun spilled into
Anya’s apartment.
Anya had had a restful sleep. Her eyes slowly fluttered open as she eased into wakefulness.
Instead of her vani white ceiling, the young woman was greeted by the sight of two adorable chubby
faces. Two sets of huge eyes blinked at her. She could see the happiness in them.
Nathaniel and Eudora immediately realized that their mother had woken up.
Their small hands hugged her cheeks while kissesnded on her face. The twins wouldn’t stop calling
for their mother as they kissed her. “Mommy… Mommy….
Anya felt a surge of love and bliss fill her inside. Her precious angels were by her side. They were safe.
Nothing couldpare to the feeling of assurance that she felt as she basked in her children’s
presence.
She couldn’t lose them.
Anya reached out and wrapped her arms around Nathaniel and Eudora tightly. “Hey, sweethearts, why
are you up so early. today?”
Nathaniel and Eudora kept extremely regr hours.
They all shared simr bedtimes.
However, while Anya would wake up around six every morning to get ready for work, the twins would
continue sleeping after their mother had woken up.
They would wake up around eight in the morning
instead.
But somehow, they had woken up before their mother did today.
“Mommy… phone…” Nathaniel understood what his mother had said. The boy pointed at the phone
resting next to his mother’s pillow. He hadn’t learned the word ‘cellphone‘ yet and, therefore, called it a
“phone” instead.
Anya knew what her son was talking about, of course. Her phone must have rung.
She would put it on silent mode every night before she went to bed though.
She was worried her rm might wake her kids.
Had she forgotten to do thatst night?
Anya stuck her arm out and reached for her phone. She grabbed it and took a look at the screen.
Nathaniel had been right. She had gotten a call.
She had forgotten to set it to silent modest night too.
The call had been from Jake.
He had called at six.
er 194
That was barely a few minutes ago.
Anya released the twins from her arms. She must have been really tired. She couldn’t believe that she
hadn’t heard her rm go off.
The young woman sat up, lifted the twins into her arms again and made her way outside. She needed
Ellie to keep an eye on the children while she called Jake back. She didn’t want Jake to identally
hear the kids. So, she handed the kids to
Ellie before heading out to the balcony to call Jake.
She mustn’t let anyone else know that she’s got kids.
