"She's my daughter, she can do what she likes. As long as she is satisfied and pleased with it" Zaxton mumbled with a proud face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk" Clicking his tongue "no one would have ever thought they will be someone on this earth who could make you this happy, ah! What happened to my rock, moody bro?"

"In six years you have changed, after that little devil entered into your life you changed so much. I feel disheartened" Zaire said a little tone gesturing for a maid by the sidelines to get him some wine.

"She isn't a devil, she is my princess" Zaxton fired back, "Six years, six years was all it took for her to bring me out of the abyss. I can't even believe she has grown so much" he added his mind flipping back to how he got his princess years ago.

"Am highly disappointed in her for turning you this way, but at the same time am happy she entered your life" Zaire muttered with a melancholy tone.

Rina ran into the hall at her uncle's words, "Daddy, why did you get me a gown? I want a trouser and a shirt, not a gown" she mumbled frowning at her dad.

Rina did not love wearing gowns like other girls her age did, she preferred dressing up like a boy. Zaxton smiled before gesturing for her to move closer to him, Rina glared at him for a while before walking towards him.

"Little Princess, pass your exams and then I will get you what you want. If you don't then forget about it" Zaxton started tapping her nose with his finger. A loud laughter erupted from Zaire's throat, he held onto his stomach to stop himself from laughing more after earning himself a glare from Rina.

"Zaxton, if she could pass her exams that easily then I wouldn't have to keep changing private tutors for her every week. Simply say your daughter is incapable of passing her exams, she may have to repeat grades" Zaire chirped in, in in-between chuckles.

"Uncle! I will pass my exams, it isn't my fault that all the tutors you find for me are trash? Or is it my fault all of them want to get into your bed? Daddi tells uncle" Rina fired back glaring hard at Zane, with puffed cheeks.

A silent chuckle escaped from Zaxton's lips, he knew very well how Oriana hates to study and how she always got her private tutors fired for irrelevant reasons. "That's enough Zaire" Zaxton muttered before turning Oriana to face him.

"Little pumpkin, don't you want to pass your exams and make Daddy proud?" Zaxton questioned.

"I want to dad," Rina remarked in a downcast tone, she always tried her best to study but whenever it was exams she ended up dozing off in class.

"Then go up and study, leave your uncle to me. I will get you whatever you want if you pass your exams"

"Pinky promise?" Sticking out her pinky finger.

"Pinky promise" Zaxton nodded and Rina quickly ran off.

"I wonder who she gets her attitude and lack of motivation to study from?" Zane said still hole ng back a chuckle.

"What the hell is written here? Why do I have to go through these papers? This isn't my job" A young-looking woman screamed in anger, turning over the papers continuously.

"Everyone knows I get a headache when I read too much but Jiya has me these, hmph! Am resigning" The little woman continued her rants, she stood up on her feet and matched towards a particular room in the mansion.

A few others stifled their laughter as she angrily passed by them, her blonde hair tied into a messy bun made her look cute instead of angry. Her natural cherry lips morphed into a pout, her eyes flicked from anger to sadness and then from amusement to anger.

Pushing the door of a room open, she entered the room and slammed the door behind her. "Jiya, what's this? Why did you send these papers over? You know I don't like them" she complained pushing out a chair to sit without caring about Jiya's opinion.

Dark eyes stared at Bella in amusement, "Bella these are simple papers, the boss asked to give them to everyone. It's like a gift, he is gifting it to us for a mission accomplished" Jiya explained raising her head from the desk.

"A gift? Oh, then that means the house these papers are talking about is mine? The boss gifted me a house?" Bella questioned excitedly, her eyes brightening up with her lips curved into a smile.

"Yes, he gifted you an apartment not a house in Toronto City. V's estate" Jiya further explained, her eyes holding hints of visible amusement in them.

"Oh, an apartment....." Bella nodded wondering how she could be so dumb, but then a thought clicked in her heart "Why would he send me to Toronto City? I Am doing just fine here" she complained frowning.

"I don't know either Bella, I have also been assigned to Toronto City so we can stay together there. Am sure your little melon would like it" Jiya giggled, shaking her head at Blyana's words.

"That's right. Then what will happen to our group? Are we going to disband or go into hiding? Do we have to look for new jobs too?" Bella further inquired.

"Am not supposed to tell you this but since you are already here there's no harm in snitching to you?" Jiya remarked moving closer to whisper "We aren't going to separate, the boss has assigned us new jobs there. We will only find out once we arrive in the city"

Jiya whispered with sparkling eyes, "New jobs, I can't wait to find out what it is. Anyways am off, I need to see my little melon" Bella muttered before standing up to her feet and running out of the room.

"She hasn't changed a bit in years, she is still the carefree girl allowing others to decide her life without her knowledge," Jiya murmured to herself releasing a sigh of pity.
