Writer's P O V
Nathaniel stared awake due to the sound coming out from his phone. He sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes, he further searched for his phone and he found it on the table beside the bed.

He picked the call up. "Hello dad, mom is not home yet." Kendrick spoke from the other side.
"What? Really?" Nathaniel asked standing up.
"Yes, she texted me last night and told me she wouldn't be back because she had something urgent to do at work. We have been waiting for her these morning but she hasn't returned. This is 7." Kendrick informed.
"Oh," he ohed and looked up at the wall clock.
"I'll drive to her company alright? There is no need for you to worry too much. I'm sure she's okay." Nathaniel assured.
"Hmm okay. We are just worried and her phone is still switched off." Kendrick said.

"I'll go see if I can find her at the company. Bye for now." Nathaniel disconnected the call and ran into the bathroom to have a quick shower. He didn't mind the way his head was hurting him and just bathed.
He wore a new clothe before jumping out to the car Jay lended him. Immediately he reversed and drove to Queen's empire.

Isabella was starred awake by the noise outside her office. She stood up, turned on her phone to see that it was already 7:15 in the morning. Work resumes 8:00am. She groaned and went into her toilet, she washed her face and arranged her messy hair. She grabbed her purse and headed out of the company through the backside.

She texted her secretary to ask the cleaners to leave the files scattered around on her table.
Just as she was driving out, she noticed the car that followed her up last night and the previous nights parking at the other end. Realizing that it was Nathan, she groaned again but ignored him and started driving back.
Throughout the ride home, the car kept following her. She parked in front of her gate once she had gotten to her mansion, she came down from the car and glared holes into the car mirror before going into her home.
Just at the entrance, Kendrick and Kendra stood there worried for their mom.
"Mom." Kendra called immediately she noticed her. She started approaching her.
"Mom." Kendrick also called.
"Hi guys," Isabella hugged and kissed them both on the cheeks. Her voice was a bit husky due to the fact that she cried all night.
Kendra and Kendrick noticed the pale look on her face. They both became sorry.
"Mom, are you okay?" Kendra asked holding Isabella's hand as they went up the stairs.
"Yes..I'm..I'm okay, I'm sorry if I made you two worried. It wasn't intentional I promise." Isabella apologized equally feeling sorry for disappearing on them like that and not returning till this now.
"Mom, we are okay. We are just worried about you. You look so pale, you didn't sleep last night, did you?" Kendrick inquired.
"I didn't sleep much and that's because I had things to work on. I'm sorry, we'll talk after bathing," she said to the both of them before going into her bedroom. She pulled off her dress and went into her jacuzzi to have a long warm bath. While bathing, she thought of Nathaniel again and what she was going to tell her kids.
She sighed worriedly hoping they don't ever bring Nathaniel up. She doesn't want to talk about him and even think about him.
How did they meet? That question still bothered her on how Nathaniel met with her kids.
After spending long hours in the bathroom and finally coming out. She saw Kendra patiently waiting for her in the room.
"Mom. Mom, we are so sorry for what we did, we shouldn't have pulled such thing on you. We should have discussed that with you, it must have left you in shock. We are so sorry." Kendra apologized embracing Isabella despite the fact that her body was all wet.
"Sweetheart, it's okay. I'm not...really mad at you guys and beside I left you guys alone there last night. I should be apologizing, it's okay." Isabella mumbling patted Kendra's back.
After spending seconds standing in that position, Kendra finally disengaged from the hug and told, "mom, we are preparing breakfast for you. We know you haven't eaten. Come down after you're done dressing." Kendra smiled at her before reaching for the door.
Isabella watched silently as Kendra left through the door. Another sigh left her lips.
She picked her phone up and texted her mom, Felicity that she won't be able to go to work because she wasn't feeling too well and had worked overnight. She further texted her secretary to bring the files she is supposed to be working on, home to her.
Then she got dressed and went down to the dinning where Kendrick and Kendra were already waiting for her.
"What did you guys prepare?" Isabella probed settling her ass on one of the dinning chairs.
"Beef Burrito with lime-cilantro cream and salsa," Kendrick provided.
Isabella smiled as she opened up her breakfast. She took a bit and smiled.
"It's delicious, I never knew you guys could cook something like this." Isabella teased.
"It's not hard to prepare mom. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes and I prepared it. Not Kendra," Kendrick answered.
Kendra turned to glare at her brother. "It's not even that delicious, I made the lime-cilantro cream, mom." Kendra told while rolling her eyes at her brother.
"It doesn't matter. I'm sure you two are great cooks." Isabella said clearing up the air.

Kendrick and Kendra sat waiting for what Isabella has to say but no words were coming out from her mouth. She just typed away in her phone.
"Mom?" Kendra called getting impatient. She eagerly wanted to know what she had to say about their father.
Isabella lifted her head to answer her.
"Um.." Kendra started.
"What about dad? Are you forgiving him?" Kendrick cut in and probed.
Isabella stayed muted for a while before asking. "Who told you that he is your dad?" Isabella sounded a little annoyed.
"Mm..we know mom." Kendrick adjusted on his seat and answered.
"He is not your dad. Don't ever call him that." Isabella told.
"But we already ran a DNA test, mom. It tested positive, otherwise we wouldn't have brought him up to you." Kendrick explained.
"What? You already what?" Isabella was surprised.
"You already ran a DNA test with him? So he was that friend of yours that came over right? You allowed him into my house and you allowed him take you anywhere. You even ran a DNA test behind my back. What am I to you guys for goodness sake, huh??" She was really annoyed this time.
"Mom, we are sorry. I was the one who pushed Kendrick into all of these, I..I wanted a dad so..we did that behind your back." Kendra replied.
Isabella huffed. "Well, the DNA does not matter to me. He is still not your dad, geez you barely know this man and you already trust him this much?"
Both Kendrick and Kendra stayed muted at her question. "He is not your father. And I don't want you ever meeting up with him." Isabella told before standing up and leaving for her room.
Kendrick sighed, "we should have done this another way. I'm now regretting it, she's pissed at us." He sighed again.
Kendra just rested her head on the table without saying a word. "How long is she gonna stay mad at us? She easily forgave us because she didn't know the whole truth and now that she found out. How long do you think she's gonna be mad at us?" Kendra inquired.
"I don't know. And I think she's really hurt."
"Yeah, her eyes are kinda swollen. I bet she cried seeing dad again. It's not easy." Kendra sighed this time.
"We need to make her forgive us faster tho. I don't like her being mad at us, it's not pretty. Should we go and apologize to her now? Probably she might forgive us." Kendrick suggested.
"Like you earlier said, let's give her time. Later, when she's all calm. She might forgive us." Kendra advised.
Kendra stayed silence and thought for a while before coming up with something. "Let's make something she'll like for lunch, something she really loves." Kendra suggested.
"That's a good idea. But we don't know her best food, do we?"
"Let's find out." Kendra stood up to look for the head maid.

Nathaniel sat inside Jay's car, just staring at Isabella's gate and her patrolling guards.
What do I do to just earn her forgiveness? He thought. He also thought of calling his mom, his mom was gonna give him the best solution but he also doesn't want to explain to her that he has got kids with the woman he raped years ago. He wanted to explain it to her face to face so he stopped himself from calling his mom.
Then he went up the net to search for a solution.
