Revenge 18: Shopping Day With the Twins

~Phoenix Mall~

"Come on you two! Stop being a slug and move faster!" Anna and Aaron groaned at Alfonso.

Alfonso visited them at their residence earlier and dragged the twins and their mother to go shopping. At first, their mother protested, but in the end, she gave up and totally in sync with Alfonso. The two of them have been dragging the twins from shop to shop.

"Can we rest? I'm dying from walking!" Aaron groaned in a complaint, but the two adults turn deaf on him.

"Brother is right! Can we rest for a few minutes... no... for one hour let's rest." Anna immediately allianced herself with her brother. They feel each other's pain right now.

Alfonso looked at the both of them. He gave a sigh and give in. "Fine." He looked around to see where could the four of them should sit.

"Over there." Mary pointed at the empty bench, and they followed. The twins happily sat down and it felt like heaven for them. Shopping with their godfather and mother really tire them out. They might even collapse from all the walking they did.

Right after they relaxed, the twins felt uncomfortable by the people's stares around them. They both know the reason why they're being stared at. It's because of their mother and godfather both talking out loud.

Who would've thought that the two people who're very cold to everyone and don't talk that much would be like this? Both Mary and Alfonso are very well-known to the public, and it's effortless for them to get noticed by the people.

If the situation were normal, the public would think that Alfonso and Mary are secretly dating, but they won't be thinking that way because they know that Alfonso is gay. He is a close friend of Mary. They won't dare to say such false accusations if they don't want to be ruined by the two of them.

In the women's eyes here at the mall, they think that it such a shame that Alfonso Dreyar is gay. However, despite that, he is still charming as ever. With just one gaze from him, they wished that they could just throw their bodies of him, but their desire was defeated by their fear of him facing his wrath.

"Look at those two... Are they Mary Coleman's twins?" A woman from the crown said, loud enough for everyone to hear and turn their gazes to Anna and Aaron.

"Yes, they are her twins. Gosh, they look so majestic like their mother." Everyone started to compliment the twins. Some even try to say bad things about Anna and Aaron but failed.

"I'm starting to regret making a public appearance at grandfather's party," Anna said loud enough for only Aaron to hear. Back then, she can walk freely without being noticed by the public, which annoys her very much.

Aaron just laughed at his sister's complaint. He can relate to Anna's feelings right now. Both of them don't like to be the center of attention. They like to be left alone and don't want to be bothered by everyone. They find it very annoying.

"Well, what can I say... you and I came from a very prestigious family that many people looked into."

"Tch! I rather lived a normal life than this... This way of life is snatching too much attention from the crowd." Anna really does prefer a normal life than to have a wealthy life. Having such great background means a lot of effort in making a nice appearance in public. She can't even show her wild side if she wants to.

"Come on don't say that! Where's the fun on that? I mean, being normal has its own fun but! Having this kind of life is thrilling! Some evil doers will try to kill us, bring us down, and take advantage of us! And we, of course, won't let it, won't let it slide, so it's fun!" Aaron said with a wide grin on his face. Anna is starting to think that her brother is becoming a masochist, and there's a side of her that hopes that doesn't happen. She doesn't want a brother like that.

Thinking about what Aaron just said, Anna felt that it is so ironic for her. People try to kill her, and by people, she means Rebecca and her accomplices. They try to humiliate her and bring her down. No... Rephrase that... They already did humiliate her, brought her down, and even killed her. That all happened in her past life, but now that won't happen again. Rebecca and her accomplices will do that again in this new life of hers, but she won't back down. She will fight them off until they beg for her mercy. They will suffer the same feelings that she felt back then, and they will feel the same pain that she felt.

After their one-hour break, they resumed their shopping. At the moment, both twins were forced to try out new clothes for them by Alfonso and Mary.

"Uhm... Uncle Fonso... I think I have enough clothes for me at home... You don't need to buy..." Before Anna could finish her sentence Alfonso cut her off.

"Nonsense! a girl like you and your brother needs tons and tons of beautiful clothes to show your radiance!" Both Aaron and Anna can only give their godfather a forceful smile. They really can't beat their godfather when it comes to this. Even their mother is not helping the both of them. She just keeps on agreeing on whatever he says.

"Anna try this..." Mary gave Anna the dress that she saw and then turn her direction to Aaron. "...and you try this also."

Aaron and Anna just sigh in defeat and drag their feet to the fitting room.

Moments later, Anna came out first. Both Alfonso and Mary's eyes sparkled in appreciation. Anna looked like a pure soul in that white dress with blue flower patterns, she seems so pure and beautiful, but at the same time, Anna is sending off such a mature aura around her.

Soon after, Aaron came out from the fitting room. Aaron wore ripped jeans that shows his long slender legs and a casual slim-fit sleeve-length shirt that shows his fitted body. Alfonso and Mary gape at the handsome young man in front of them. Unlike his sister, he sends such a charming and playboy-like aura. Even the sales ladies that were looking at them can't take their eyes off him. They kept telling themselves, 'Stop it! He's too young for you! Too young!' they were crying inside and how they wish to be the same age as Aaron, but too bad for them their wish cannot happen.

"Oh my God! You two are really my kids!" Anna and Aaron looked at their mother with disbelief. They can't believe that they just heard their mother say that. "Both of you look so stunning like me!" And also their mother is narcissistic sometimes.

"Your kids are God's perfect design! You have to let me borrow your twins for my next fashion line!" Alfonso exclaimed, and Mary just nodded in approval. They both can't wait for that to happen.

Anna and Aaron looked at each other they both sense that there's another hell that they are going to face in the near future.
