Monica’s POV
That was impossible, right? I saw Ethan die in cold blood in Mia’s hand so how is it possible that he was standing at the entrance of my gate?
“Anthony if this is a prank, I swear I would_” Nicholas started to say but Anthony shifted his scared and serious gaze to him
“This isn’t a prank, Nicholas. He is outside and demanding to see Monica” Anthony said and I could feel my heart pounding fast against my chest.
“But I thought you said he died. You said Mia shot him mistakenly” Nicholas asked, his confused gaze on me
“Yes, I said that because that was exactly what happened. He was shot and killed by Mia” I said and Nicholas sighed, running his hand through his hair
“Okay honey, I want you to stay here and wait. I’ll go and check and see what he wants” Nicholas suggested but I disagreed instantly.
“No I will follow you,” I said and he nodded his head from side to side in disagreement
“No honey, it isn’t safe. We don’t know why he is here and we don’t know his motive for coming here so please just let me handle this” Nicholas begged but I still wanted to see with my eyes that it was Ethan who was here.
“No I’m coming with you and that’s final. It’s me Ethan wants to see and not you” I said and Nicholas sighed again.
“Fine” he agreed then started walking towards the gate, clearly not pleased about my decision.
We got to the gate and we found a huge black truck at the entrance of the gate. “Where is he?” Nicholas asked Anthony, glaring at him
“He is dead,” Anthony said, laughing hard as he stared at us “You should have seen your faces,” Anthony said and I gritted my teeth in anger
“Was this a prank?” Nicholas asked, his hand trembling by his side as he glared at his best friend who just played a fast one on us
“I’m sorry but I just wanted to pull your legs a little,” Anthony said and I glared at him.
“Anthony, why would you play such a prank on us? And to think that we fell for it” I said furiously.
“I’m sorry guys. It was merely done out of fun” Anthony said, laughing hard and pointing at Nicholas’s face “You should have seen your face, Nicholas. You looked like you had just seen a ghost” Anthony said and Nicholas instantly began chasing him.
It looked so funny to see them both running around like kids but I understand Nicholas very well. Anthony’s prank was an expensive one and it was uncalled for.
Nicholas hit his champion glass with a fork, drawing the attention of everyone who had come with their kids to celebrate with us.
“I want to thank everyone who came to celebrate our babies with us. You took out time from your busy time and came to this place to celesta with us and for that, I say a big thank you” Nicholas said as he stood on his feet
“To the directors of my computer who solely decided to sponsor this event and make it a successful one with their finances, I’m deeply grateful and I saw a huge thank you,” he said then shifted his gaze to me.
“Then to the woman that completes me, my princess, my joygiver, the mother of my twins, and my life partner,” he said, holding me by my hand “I will not forget to say a big thank you to you. You made this place beautiful and did all the planning yourself and for that, I say thank you and I want you to keep in mind that I love you, now and forever”
I blushed and looked away while the crowd cheered and laughed. Anthony whistled with his mouth and I glared at him. He almost made my heart jump out of my chest with his prank and I was still angry at him
“Now we’re going to sing a happy birthday for my lovely twins as they come out,” Nicholas said and everyone rose to their feet.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
“Hip hip hip” Nicholas suddenly yelled and he seemed very excited when he yelled
“Hooray” everyone yelled in unison except for me who was just scanning the happy atmosphere with her eyes.
Macy and Mason took their baby steps in their matching outfit, the maid standing behind them as they displayed their perfect two little incisors which had managed to finally come out.
Mason walked up to me, gripping me by my legs while Macy walked to Nicholas and gripped him by his trousers.
Soon enough, we took pictures with the twins, they cut their cake, and their clothes were changed to other matching outfits.
Other kids who came along with their parents were all busy chatting and playing with each other. Some were licking ice cream, some were with their parents while others were jumping excitedly in the balloon house.
It was a memorable sight to see. “Hello Mrs. Monica,” a young voice said behind me and I turned around to see a familiar face.
“Hello, how are you? Are you enjoying the party?” I asked with a smile on my face.
“Yes, I am. It’s the coolest party ever” she said excitedly and I was glad to hear such a heartwarming response.
“Thank you,” I said and she smiled.
“I’m Vanessa. Do you remember me?” she asked and I smiled, finally remembering where I knew her from
“Of course. You’re that little girl that asked why my stomach was so big” I said, he gently holding her by the nose playfully and she giggled
“And you said it was a secret. Now I know what that secret is” she said and I smiled amusingly.
“So what is the secret?” I asked, her discussion slowly capturing my interest.
“The secret is Mason and Macy” I laughed out loudly as I heard her response. She was very well correct but what made this discussion amusing was how she said it.
“You’re right Vanessa. The secret is Mason and Macy. Very smart of you” I said and she giggled, shyly placing her hand behind her back.
“You’re very beautiful Mrs Monica and I like your hair,” she said, averting her gaze.
“Thank you” I responded, feeling touched by her words. This day was a nice day and I was glad to be part of it.
