Destined to be yours… - Chapter 42

“Mom, why are we staying at Dad’s house?” Caden asked. Aly is preparing their clothes and other needs. Brett, after fetching the kids, went home with Harper and Aria to arrange their house particularly the rooms where Tyler and Caden will sleep.

“Tyler?” Aly called her son who’s on his room preparing too. “Coming, Mom.” Tyler answered. “Come, sit here.” Aly said pointing the edge of the bed. “I want to be honest with you. We’re staying at your dad’s house because he’s worried of our safety particularly mine.” Aly said that her sons furrowed their forehead. “Why, Mom, is there anything wrong?” Tyler asked. “We’re not sure but there’s a report that there were men roaming around our house and the laundry. Daddy wants to make sure that we’re safe that’s why we’re staying at their house for few days.” Aly explained. “Till when?” Caden asked. “Until it’s safe to stay here again.” Aly said. “Are they going to hurt us, Mom?” Caden asked and Aly felt the fear on Caden’s voice. “No, sweetheart, Dad and I will not let them come near you.” Aly said then embraced her sons.

After a while, Aly heard Brett’s horn. She opened the door and let her man come in.

“Ready?” Brett asked. “I’m done with our clothes, I’ll get the toiletries. Tyler bring your stuffs to the car.” Aly said. “Leave your car here. Let’s use my car. It’s more safe if we use my car.” Brett said. Aly nodded. Tyler and Caden brought their school things on Brett’s car.

“Dad?” Caden said that made Brett smiled hearing the word “dad”. “Yes, son?” Brett said. “Don’t let those men hurt mommy.” Caden said. “I won’t. I will not let them touch even mommy’s fingertips.” Brett said messing Caden’s hair.

“Should we report them to the police?” Tyler asked. “Later, we’re going to meet my friends. One is from the police force and one is an agent. We’re going to ask them what we should do.” Brett said and Tyler nodded.

“Tyler?” Brett said. “Yes, Dad?” Tyler said that made Brett smiled again. “I’m going to ask you to take care of your siblings.” Brett said. “Yes, Dad!” Tyler said making a salute. Brett smiled and messes Tyler’s hair too. That was the scene saw by Aly making her smiled.

“I’m ready!” Aly said that made the three men looked at her. “Let’s go.” Brett said and they helped Aly putting their stuffs on the car.

“We’re home!” Brett said and when Harper and Aria heard their father’s voice hurriedly came outside from the room they were busy arranging. “Welcome home, Mommy!” The girls spoke at once. Aly smiled.

“As if it is out first time here.” Aly said smiling while the girls were hugging her. “When dad told us what happened we were afraid at first but became happy when he said you’ll be staying here with us.” Harper said. “Don’t worry, Mommy, Dad will protect you. Those men will be kick on their ass.” Aria said that made the rest laughed.

While Aly is preparing dinner, the kids are busy arranging their stuffs on their respective rooms.

Brett is talking to Dave on the phone. “Elijah and Luke said you should bring Aly later.” Dave said. “And why?” Brett said. “They wanted to see the girl who caught your aloof heart.” Dave said teasing Brett. “Then, I won’t bring her. I know guys, you will on drool over Aly.” Brett said smiling. “Haha, I’m done with that, but for Elijah and Luke, I’ll guess, they will stammer.” Dave said. “Yeah, you’re right.” Brett said. “I’m serious, even though, you’re not telling anything yet, they’re sure that it’s somewhat important. You’ll not contact them if it’s only a simple matter.” Dave said. “Ok, see you later.” Brett said and ended the call.

After dinner, Brett and Aly prepared themselves. “Kids, we’ll meet Uncle Elijah and Uncle Luke. They will be the ones who will help us. Nanny Laura will keep you company. You’re safe here because I’ve already told the security to be more cautious to people entering the village.” Brett said. “Ok, Dad!” The four spoke at once. “Tyler, you’re in charge.” Brett said winking at the kid. “Yes, Dad!” Tyler said.

The couple bid goodnight to the kids. “Don’t wait for us. Sleep early because Granny and Mamu will be here tomorrow early in the morning.” Brett said and the kids nodded. Aly is looking at him with questioning eyes.

“I called my dad and your dad.” Brett said while opening the car. Aly sighed. “They should know.” Brett continued. “They will eventually make a fuss tomorrow.” Aly said that made Brett laughed. “Yeah.” Brett said.

The couple reached a house not so far but it was built that to some it will look like a haunted house but actually it’s Luke’s lodging place. Because he was an agent, he rarely stay on his place. Eventhough, the outside facade is a mess, inside, it is a home.

Aly saw two cars and one motorcycle at the garage. She looked at Brett bewildered. “Is this your hiding place?” Aly asked that made Brett laughed. “We seldom go here unless it’s a life and death situation. We’re all busy especially Elijah and Luke.” Brett said pulling Aly going towards the door.

Brett knocked and it was opened by Dave.

Both men nodded to each other. “Welcome to our kingdom, my princess.” Dave said that made Aly smiled. “Thank you, my prince.” Aly said that made Brett raised his brow. Dave laughed. “You’re my king.” Aly said seeing Brett’s jealousy. Brett looked at Dave proudly that made the latter shake his head.

Elijah and Luke were busy talking about their works when the couple and Dave arrived. When they saw Aly, they were stunned. Dave grinned.

Dave actually informed them that Aly’s beauty was mesmerising. Aly’s charms was enchanting. Both Elijah and Luke doesn’t believe Dave. They said that the latter only was exaggerating his stories but when they saw Aly, they were in dazed.

“Ehem, ehem…” Brett cleared his throat that made the two men came back to their senses. “Oh, hi, welcome to my humble home.” Luke said offering seats to Aly and Brett. “By the way, I’m Luke and this is Elijah. We’re Brett’s friends.” Luke said while offering his hand for a handshake but was surprised when Brett took his hand. Aly giggled.

“She’s Aly and she’s already taken by me. Touching is prohibited. Now, let’s get down to business.” Brett said seriously pulling Aly beside him.

The three men looked at each other meaningfully. “What a clingy man?” “Yeah, I agree.” “Told you.” Their thoughts on their mind but can be seen thru their eyes.
