Chapter 97


    Chapter 97 –– And The Winner Is (Sky‘s POV)


    How to be a super parent when you want to sleep more?


    I wanted to wear sunsses as the sun‘s rays hurt my head, but I chose not to because if I did, I


    would fall asleep. I had to pretend I was okay as I volunteered to watch for the kids and Nitro


    while they yed in the sand. I could not believe Finn added a new baby to Anj‘s life when she


    could hardly find time for herself, but maybe Finn was also smitten with the kids.


    Ang was with us, sleeping on the chaise lounge; her swollen foot saved me from steering a


    sailboat since I had promised the childrenst night that if they behaved, we would sail today. I


    thought there was no hangover, but the Tequ, the game, the ident, our hunger in bed, that


    scene in the hallway, and my kids fully charged was never a good mix. I wish I could tell Ang to


    scoot over and lie down beside her.


    One of the servants found the possible culprit on the shore, and when I showed it to the children


    and told them their mom stepped on itst night identally, erasing all other details, of course,


    as if they were all little scientists that they asked the Mighty Sky million questions about it.


    “Aunt Anya! Aunt Anya!” Leyanne ran to her, leaving the others behind when their aunt walked to


    the seaside patio. I scoffed when I nced at her. “Huh! The traitor could wear sunsses!” I


    smirked. As to how she would perceive it depended on Anya.


    She heaved a deep sigh. “I am not drinking Tequ again, Sky.” She pulled off her sunsses


    and hissed like a vampire wincing from the sunlight. “Argh! What happened to the sailing


    promise?”


    “Aunt Anya, Mommy‘s hurt!” Leyanne said, still panting from running to her. My daughter sat on


    myp and fixed her eyes on her mother‘s foot.

    It was my turn to heave a sigh. “Yes, Aunt Anya. Mommy‘s hurt.” I said in a low voice, gritting my teeth,


    but only Ang and I knew how the mommy got hurt – physically and emotionally. “What happened?”


    The real traitor asked in her panicked voice as she walked toward her. She sat slowly on the chaise, her


    lips trembling as she looked at her foot. “I‘m fine. Don‘t dare cry in front of my kids, Anya,” Ang


    uttered, opening her eyes. “I thought you were sleeping,” I could not help sounding suspicious. She


    should have at least helped me answer her daughters‘ questions. With no avable Inte, I could not


    search for the answers to their questions. She smiled at me. “With my children running around, I couldn‘t


    even get a nap.” She got up and rested her head on Anya‘s shoulder. If I were a woman, I would pull


    Anya‘s hair until no single hair was left in her head after what she and Dn did. I squinted as Ang


    put her arms around her cousin. Maybe she would squeeze her until she couldn‘t breathe anymore, but


    she didn‘t.


    “Anya...” She uttered like a child while Anyabed her hair with her fingers. “Does it hurt? Are you


    feeling okay?” She asked worriedly.


    She nodded. “I was more worried about the sea urchin,” she smiled.


    “The sea urchin‘s dead, Mommy,” Leyanne shared the news. She climbed down from myp and went to


    her. “Are you okay, Mommy?” She stood, eyeing her foot.


    “Of course. Daddy saved Mommyst night,” she smiled gently at her. Our daughter nodded before


    turning back on us to join her sisters again. “Where‘s Dn?” I asked, waving my hand at the


    housekeeper. “Serve the breakfast,” I said when she came. She nodded and left quietly.


    “I don‘t know,” Anya answered and wandered her eyes at the beach.


    Ang hit her arm. Finally! My wife was taking her revenge.


    “Ouch! Why?” Anya hissed, rubbing the skin her cousin hit. She sneered at her. “You said you‘d only pee,


    but you didn‘te back. I was worried Dn stashed your body on the water because of your crazy


    gamest night.” “Ah!” eximed Dn, walking in our direction. “I almost did that, Anj,” he said,


    squinting his eyes as he sat on the seat next to mine. He sighed. “You‘re right, Anj. It was a crazy game.”


    “Crazy game, indeed!” I grinned, but the truth, I loved to strangle Dn now. “If not for that game, maybe


    Anj would have seen that poor sea urchin. It shouldn‘t have died.” He raised his eyebrows, noticing her


    foot. He stood up and walked to her. “Are you okay?” She nodded. “The Mighty Sky saved my foot.” She


    smiled at me. When our eyes met, maybe she knew what I wanted to do, that she slightly shook her


    head, her eyes talking to me in silence, stopping me from whatever evil n I had in mind.


    Ang hissed when Dn attempted to sit beside her.


    “Three is a crowd already. Shoo!” She chuckled, pushing him out of the chaise lounge.


    When the two housekeepers returned, they prepared breakfast on the table. Aside from coffee, they


    served banana almond smoothies for us, toast, and four rice bowls topped with fried egg and avocado.


    “Have the kids eaten already?” Dn asked as he attempted to help Ang, but I beat him, carrying and


    sitting her beside me.


    Anya walked to the chair next to him.


    “Yep!” Ang answered, taking one ss of smoothie and moaning while sipping. That sweet and


    beautiful moan made me smile, wanting me to carry Ang back to the vi. I leaned my head


    closer to her ear. “You love the breakfast, pumpkin?” She chuckled. “Yep!”


    Anya chose the coffee, sipping while her eyes were on the kids. “If I‘d get stuck here, I think I won‘t


    mind even if there‘s no Inte.”


    .


    One is


    I nodded. “Who needs Inte when you can drink one bottle of Vodka by yourself, enjoy the beach,


    eat good food, y a crazy game, and mmm... have good sex.” Ang coughed and red at me.


    “Thest one‘s a wish, pumpkin,” I said, picking up my cup to sip coffee. “Good sex,” Dn shook his


    head as he uttered the word faintly. “What a term, Sky.”


    “If there is, what‘s the appropriate word then?” My eyes narrowed as I asked him. He pursed his


    lips, shaking his head again. “I‘m never drinking Tequ again. Never ying that game again.” “I‘m


    never drinking Tequ again. Thest time I did, after nine months, I got three kids,” Ang said,


    pursing her lips when Anya and I released a slight cough while Dn cleared his throat, looking


    elsewhere. “Or maybe it wasn‘t the Tequ. Maybe it was the Vodka,” she breathed out.


    There was silence for a few seconds before Ang attacked everyone again. “Where did you


    sleepst night, Dn?” she asked, her eyes focused on the rice she was eating. “In my room.


    Why? Were you looking for me? Did youe to my roomst night?” He asked, trying to smile,


    but I could guess he was nervous. “I couldn‘t go anywhere because of this foot,” she twitched


    her lips. He nodded. “So, what‘s the n after the birthday?” he asked. Ang looked at me as if


    telling me what the n was. “Anj and I already talked about it. We‘re divorcing, I‘ll get to marry


    Line, and she could marry anyone she chose to. When ites to the kids, we‘ll still share the


    responsibilities and ...” I turned to Ang. “You think we should put this in writing? It sounded


    real.” She nodded. “Yeah, we should. I didn‘t want any problems when I decided to marry Dn.”


    She said and was startled when Anya dropped her fork on the floor. “Sorry,” Anya chuckled


    nervously as she took the fork. The housekeeper went to her to get the fork and got her a clean


    one. “I‘m just kidding,” Ang focused on her food and did not speak again until she finished her


    breakfast.


    I couldn‘t guess who yed it well in denying the pain we were all feeling at the moment because


    my sole concern now was Ang. How can she beplete when people around her keep


    hurting her, even the one who promised to move a mountain for her?
