Boss, we have a serious problem here.

"Miss Snow, who is the person that is willing to adopt me? The teachers say that I'm troublesome, so who would want to adopt me?"

Miss Snow's face fell and she gave Natalie a double look. This is one of the reasons, the boss is extremely interested in her. Her intelligent quotient, emotional quotient and super strength she has at her age made her stand out among all the kids brought to the orphanage that year.

The boss has specifically instructed that she shouldn't be given up for adoption for any reason and should be continually monitored.

"The man who will adopt you is from Italy. He will be here tomorrow evening".

Natalie lowered her head and viciousness shone in her eyes.

" Yes Miss Snow", she nodded and left her office.

"Go to bed and get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a tough day for you".

" Yes, Miss Snow".

After leaving the office, she went straight to her brother's room and took him away. She memorized the path she would take later on in the night.

"We are leaving this place this night, I believe that if I'm adopted by that person we will never meet in this life. We are leaving this place tonight by light out".

"Where are we going to?"

"I have sent a message to beautiful aunty, she might have seen the message by now".

"How did you do it?"

She brought out Miss Snow's phone and waved it in the air. The twins shared a meaningful smile.

Violet had a stressful day at work and she didn't have time to check her messages or calls. Resting at the back of the car, she pulled her hair to the side and looked into the car's rear mirror.

She was working tirelessly on the competition project. Flipping through her phone, she found messages from an unknown number.

"Hello, beautiful aunty. please come and pick us up. We are in danger".

The time was almost 9 pm when she left the restaurant. She wondered who it was just then it clicked on her mind that it was the beautiful twins.

She read the message over and over again. They were in danger, the danger bells kept ringing in her mind. Her motherly instinct acted up and she dialled the only number on her emergency list.

"Lucas, the kids... They are in trouble. Lucas, do something about it".

Lucas was having his dinner at minister Rashid's house. the file of three welcome him warmly and the most enthusiastic was the daughter. She kept adding meals to honour his continuous frown. His phone was on the table when it rang.

Abandoning the etiquette she was taught right from childhood, she peered shamelessly at who was the caller.

📳" ...the kids.... They are in trouble. Do something about it".

The sweetest female voice she had ever heard was speaking frantically. She mentioned something about kids... Was he already married with kids? Who is that lady who called him?

"Treasure hey, calm down. I will sort it out immediately, just trust me. Don't go anywhere, be rest assured I will bring them back safely".

"Really?"

"Of course, treasure. I'm hanging up now".

Treasure? A low gasp was heard from Samira. Her eyes grew wide and she was lost in thought.

Standing up to his full height he apologized sincerely to the couple who accepted it due to the situation at hand.

He picked up his phone and the subordinate took his windbreaker and followed him out.

Samira got up and chased after him.

"Liam, Liam. Where are you going to? Dinner is yet to be over and you didn't eat much".

Lucas stopped in his track and turned around with a tensed face. She even took note of the fact that he didn't eat much.

"Miss Rashid, I suggest you get back into the house. It's cold outside here and it's not good for a lady to expose herself to cold".

She nodded and her heart warmed on hearing those words...

" If you say so. Then I will go back now. Just take care of yourself".

"Miss Rashid, you don't need to fret because of me". He turned on his heels and couldn't bother about her anymore.

💭"He cares about me. Even if he can't love me. I'm satisfied with that because I understand his cold personality". She smiled as she looked at his strong back and envisaged running her hands over it in the confines of a romantic atmosphere.

She was jolted from her daydream when the car took off.

"Miss, it's cold out here. please let's go inside. This instruction is from the minister".

She gazed longingly at the direction the car went.

He is mine and nothing can stop me from being with him. She clenched her first and arranged her hijab well.

" Don't be too forward when you decide to pursue a man", the father's deep voice sounded immediately after she stepped into the dining room.

"Father, he is my choice and I want him. Do something about it", she pouted and behaved childishly.

" Samira, ask for something else but not Liam. For goodness sake, Liam is not a prize to be won and he can choose who he wants to be with".

"Liam is worth more than a prize. I want and Liam I must get. You think I don't know what I want?" She stormed back to her room upstairs.

The parents exchanged glances.

"Do something about it. You can talk to Liam or something".

" I think this dinner is over", he slammed the cutleries and went back to his room.

The mother shrugged and continued her meals.

📳" Track the darn location and bring the kids safely back. I'm on my way there".

His subordinates in Brooklyn got to work immediately.

He didn't know what was wrong with him but there is this instinct which kicked in when he heard Violet's voice. Was it just about Violet's worried voice or about the kid's safety? He entered the car prepared for him.

"Get the jet ready for flight. I'm going back to New York City".

"Yes boss", his assistant replied.

In a certain location in Italy at 8 am...

The large biological research lab is hidden away from the world.

A man in his forties walked around the core research laboratory with the head scientist on his left and his henchman on his right.

The scientist was shivering as he reported the result to him.

" The overall average rating of these specimens' abilities is very low. Although we used the right procedures and diverse methods to improve it their natural ability is too low. If more severe methods are used, I'm afraid they will all die".

"I don't care what method is used as long as the desired effect is achieved".

" But I must say the method I found out is quite dangerous".

Grabbing the scientist by the collar, he threatened "Then if a process is not dangerous I don't delve into it. My name is Giovanni and I'm tired of being a stooge for Luciano. I need to play with him a little bit so fulfil my request", he let go of the man roughly.

" I want to see the specimens".

He was led to a large screen that required a palm print. The head scientist used his palms to unlock it and they stepped into an elevator which took them several floors down the basement.

The large glass transparent coffins had gas pipes running to and fro them.

"This particular batch will be released in about three days but I must say that the result of the upcoming batch is not guaranteed".

"As long as the first batch is manageable, it's ok by me. No mistakes are accepted, I have invested so much in it. There is this special specimen I will bring here very soon".

The head scientist was red with excitement.

" That will give us a leeway into another dimension of research".

"Don't even think about it. She is not to be used for the experiment. Her natural abilities are already jaw-dropping", a rare smile graced his lips.

"It can be improved to an enviable extent".

"Her IQ is incredible, her strength is incomparable, and hearing and vision abilities are impressive. Have been keeping an eye on her for these few months but I've been busy recently".

" So when will she be brought here?"

"Probably tomorrow. She will be groomed by me. That's my right-hand assistant".

After touring around the entire laboratory, he got ready to leave. Just then his assistant came up to him and whispered a few words to him.

"Boss we have a big issue at hand. The girl is missing".

" You're playing games with me?"

"No boss, that's the news I have just received".

Taking out his pistol without delay, he fired several shots at his joints on the legs.

"You are so useless, you should be glad I kept you alive. I hate incompetence", he spat.

Turning to his other assistant, " Clean up this mess and prepare my jet for a flight to New York City. Make sure the entire area is sealed".

He left the laboratory and his subordinates lined up behind him.

Brooklyn Orphanage at 22:00 GMT

Natalie was wide awake the whole period. Fifteen minutes after light out, she crawled out of her bed and stealthily opened the door with her hairpin.

Tip toeing to the brother's building, she picked the lock too without noise. Nathan was wide awake too.....

Natalie took Nathan by hand and escaped from the building. After bypassing several security men without being noticed, she found an entrance which seem to be undiscovered ever since the orphanage was founded. She had made this discovery earlier in the day.

After successfully leaving the building behind, she heaved a sigh of relief.

They had not taken more than a hundred steps from the orphanage when they were suddenly cornered by masked men.

She was about to let out a yelp when their mouth was covered .......

She was sad because she had let her brother down, after all, she was still a child.
