"I have killed him the moment you woke up from deep slumber." Francais added.


    "Why? Why are you doing this?" Ana could not help but ask.


    "Ha! me your parents for everything." He replied.


    "Wha- what do you mean?" She stuttered.


    "It should be I who have more rights to marry your mother. We met first but she allowed Min Joon to win her over." He answered making Ana tough hard.


    "Hahahaha! I won''t me my mother for not choosing you over my father.. He''s a thousand times better than a dilusional psycho like you!" She said in spite.


    "You b*tch! You should be thankful that I have kept you alive!" Francais grabbed her by the cor and mmed her back on the wall.


    Ana grunted in pain as she felt the concrete wall hitting her back.


    Instead of begging to be released, Ana maintained her poker face to annoy him more.


    Francais let two of Frederick''s men to hold her in ce.


    "What did you do to me?" She asked him.


    "Oh? I didn''t do anything. I just imnted a chip in your nape that would allow us to control you." He yfully answered.


    "I told you. You should have spent the free days we have given you best because those days were thest days that you are free." Frederick Heart added.


    "After we activated this chip, even if you''re human, I can fully control you like a robot." Francais then showed off the microchip which was a duplicate of what was imnted inside her nape.


    "Oh correction, you''re a human clone. I really should be thankful to your father for creating this and you."


    "If I''m not mistaken, you have stolen that from our base that night, right?" She said knowingly that it was one of the purpose why he was there that night.


    "Bingo!" Francaisughed hard after that.


    "I wonder how that b*stard would feel when he finds out that I have used his precious invention to control his precious daughter? More like his precious creation." He added.


    Ana told them that she was the human clone to protect Eunji from people like Francais and Frederick.


    Ana knew that she was being monitored so she didn''t tell this to Eunji for she feared that they woulde after Eunji and not her instead.


    What a shame! Seems like she had lost the chance to tell the whole story to Eunji now.


    She just hoped that Eunji already had the journals in her hands and kept them in a much safer ce.


    "He''ll be fine with it. He''s no longer here to witness any of these anyways." She refuted him immediately.


    Then Francais reached out to touch Ana''s face but Ana moved her face to the side.


    Francais pped her hard in the face and he smiled andughed at her like a psycho.


    "You should be thankful that you''re the clone! Because if not, you should be dead by now. I won''t tolerate the direct descendant of that man to be with La and I."


    "That''s enough!" The Boss (cloaked person) interfered.


    "Remember, she''s mine! I still want her to pay the price for killing my father." The Boss added.


    "Ha! Is it? Then just kill me so we''re even!" She told the Boss.


    "Why should I? It''s more fun to watch you killing the people you cared about. Let''s start with your sister''s children. They''re still so young and it''s easy to kill them." The Boss said.


    "Stay away from them!" Ana bellowed.


    "Thanks to you, we knew how they looked like. Now, it''s easy to identify and get them." The Boss evilly giggled after that.


    "Francais, start the process." The Bossmanded and stepped aside as Frederick''s men carried Ana into this white room full of medical andboratory equipments.


    Everyone followed to witness the process.


    She was then pushed to sit into a chair and was buckled tightly so she won''t be able to escape.


    "Phase one was done when you''re still in deep slumber. Now, we will do the phase two."


    Then one of their men ced a helmet full of wires which were attached in a machine that would trigger the chip imnted in her nape.


    Ana was not unfamiliar with the machine as that was simr to the machine that her father used to transfer or share the memories between them sisters before.


    However, this machine had a different purpose.


    "With this, you could be the perfect daughter for my La. Let me rewrite you to be my perfect daughter too, Anastasia." Francais added as he pressed the start button.


    As soon as the button was pressed, Ana went limp and then her body shook hard.


    shbacks of memories shed in her eyes.


    She could see them disappearing one by one.


    The pressure in her head was too much that her nose bleed.


    It took three minutes for the process to beplete.


    Ana lost consciousness.


    "Done?" The Boss asked.


    "Yes. When she wakes up, she''s like a sheet of nk white paper." Francais said.


    Everyone smiled evilly while the Boss chuckled as they looked at Ana who was now being carried out of the room.


    "As long as this method is sessful, taking over the King''s throne would be much easier." Francais reassured.


    "Of course! Now that we have the clone of his granddaughter, it''s easy to convince the council to ept Ana when we taken over the throne." Frederick Heart said.


    "Of course. But first and foremost, she had to eliminate the true heirs of the throne, and the foster son." The Boss emphasized.


    "But since, you''ll be marrying her. Congrattions, our future King." Francais told Frederick.


    "Thank you future father-inw!" Frederick replied.


    "Hahaha! This calls for a celebration!"


    The trio went for a celebration after that.


    They''re a hundred percent sure that everyone would go ording to n.


    ***


    Morning came and the couple woke up early to get ready for the big day.


    Though Manang Ines was tasked to prepare their breakfast, Eunji, Ana and even Celine woke up early to prepare it for everyone.


    Manang Ines had no other choice but to assist them on preparing it. After Eunji and Nathan spent their honeymoon in this ind, Manang Ines pushed herself to learn English so she could better serve the couple should they decided to visit again.


    However, she was deeply saddened when she learned that Nathan was no longer the foreign owner of this ce.


    She was still unaware of these people''s identities.


    But as she learned that most of these people had the surname Bai, she thought that they were rted to the couple who came to have their honeymoon together two years ago.


    Unfortunately, she was already at home when Nathan had arrivedst night. It was only Manong Popoy and Mona who were left behind and helped in serving them dinner.


    Knowing Manong Popoy, he never dared to share what he had learned to his wife because he knew that he was not on the right position to do so. The same goes with Mona.


    "Manang Ines?" Eunji called her.


    "Yes Madam."


    Eunji could not help but smile when she saw how formal Manang Ines was to her.


    "Rx, Manang Ines. Please drop the formalities." Eunji said.


    "You''re such a great help to me when I was still dealing with my early stage of pregnancy back then."


    She could roughly understood what Eunji was telling her so Eunji tranted it in their spokennguage.


    "<strong><em>Ang sabi ko po, mki po ang naitulong ninyo sa akin noong ako ay nasa unang yugto ng aking pagbubuntis</em></strong>." Eunji said with a smile which sent Manang Ines into a deep thought.


    "Eh? You know how to speak theirnguage here?" Celine asked.


    "Well, my love for this ce pushed me to," was Eunji''s honest reply.


    "Oh, that was sweet!" Celine praised Eunji''s dedication.


    Eunji looked at Manang Ines and she saw thetter''s eyes widened and then was reced in a frown.


    "You must have mistaken, Madam. <strong><em>Hindi po kita matandaan</em></strong>. (I can''t remember you.) <strong><em>Kahaponng po kita nakita</em></strong>. (I have only seen you yesterday.) <strong><em>Ang naala kong po ay may mag-asawa nga na pumarito at nag dadntao pero hindi niyo po siya kamuka</em></strong>. (I only remember a married couple who came to this ind and the wife was indeed pregnant but she didn''t look like you.)"


    "Rx Manang Ines. That''s me. I''m that pregnant woman." Eunji finally reintroduced herself.


    "Really?!" Manang Ines asked in disbelief.


    "<em><strong>Pero papaano?</strong></em> (But how?)" Manang Ines.


    "<strong><em>Siguro m niyo na po ngayon na ako at ang aking asawa ay mga hindi ordinaryong tao.</em></strong>(You probably know by now that my husband and I are no ordinary people.) <strong><em>Kaya kangan naming gawin iyon.</em></strong> (So we have to do that.) I''m sorry." Eunji sincerely said.


    Though everything was very overwhelming for Manang Ines to understand, she still smiled at Eunji and said, "It''s okay. I understand. Your secret is safe with me and my family."


    Manang Ines could assure that they''re not a bunch of ungrateful people who would bite the hands of the people who feeds them.


    Ever since Nathan had taken over the ce, they had be more peaceful and had enjoyed a better life in the ind.


    No one would no longer dare to belittle them just because they came from an ind. An ind mostly inhabited by former criminals who have found their new and better purpose in life in this ind.


    "That''s awesome then!" Eunji said in joy. She also asked for a hug but Manang Ines refused to because she was shy about it.


    But Eunji still did it and hugged her with gratitude.


    And Manang Ines hugged her back in the end.


    When they were almost done cooking, Eunji asked Manang Ines.


    "Manang Ines, could you please ask someone to prepare the table outside?"


    "Sure! No problem!" Manang Ines was clearly in high spirit after she found out that she had not lost the chance to serve the couple again.


    Breakfast came right after that. And everyone enjoyed the breakfast that the threedies had prepared.


    They prepared the Chinese, Japanese and Korean breakfast for everyone to have a feast with.


    Everyone was watching Eunji carefully because there were a lot of egg dishes in the table.


    "I''m fine. I have taken my shot."


    "I thought we have already agreed about it, Eve." Master Liu spoke at the end of the table.


    Ever since he discovered the side effect that her shots had slowly umted on her body, Master Liu immediately told her to stop using it.


    "Yes we did have an agreement to not use the shot anymore. But I can''t help it! Today is the birthday of my adorable triplets! And I''ll enjoy the celebration more if I can eat every dishes being prepared, with moderation of course."


    She ended it with her adorable and cute pout which even Nathan could not resist but give in.
