Mainly City Airport
Mainly City Airport was noisy and crowded. People were walking fast, pulling their luggage and talking on their phones.
Suddenly, a child screamed.
A small girl, about five years old, was pushed to the ground. She fell hard and cried out in pain. Before she could get up, a woman grabbed her arm and slapped her face. The sound was loud and shocking.
The girl cried even louder.
People nearby looked for a second, then turned away. Some checked their phones. Others kept walking like nothing happened.
"I'm just teaching my child manners!" the woman shouted when someone stared.
She bent down close to the girl and spoke angrily.
"Look at me, you little witch. If I ever hear you call Roman your father again, I will beat you to death."
The girl trembled. She nodded quickly, too scared to speak. Her cheek hurt, but the woman's words hurt more.
Just as the woman turned to leave, a calm voice stopped her.
"Madam, don't you think what you're doing is wrong?"
Everyone looked over.
The woman who spoke was tall and elegant. She looked calm, but her eyes were serious. Her name was Ava. No one at the airport knew it, but she was a famous doctor known around the world as Dr. VYK. Her real identity was a secret.
Ava had just returned to Taihnaiu after six years away. This was the first thing she saw.
"You are a woman and a mother," Ava said calmly.
"But you treat a small child like trash. If you didn't want to raise her, no one forced you. Let her go."
The woman, Betty, sneered.
"Why are you interfering?" she said. "She's my child. I can do whatever I want. This is none of your business."
"I won't argue with you," Ava replied coldly.
"But listen carefully. If I ever see you hit her again, you will regret it."
Ava turned and walked away. Her footsteps echoed on the floor.
Betty stood still for a moment. Her heart was beating fast. That woman made her feel uneasy.
She quickly pulled the girl along and entered the VIP lounge.
Inside, a man was sitting on a leather sofa, looking at his phone. He was handsome and confident. His name was Roman.
"What took you so long?" Roman asked. "Weren't you just going to the restroom?"
"It was nothing," Betty said. "I met a friend on the way."
Roman smiled. "Is she pretty?"
Betty rolled her eyes. "Brother, you're already interested in a stranger?"
Roman laughed. "I'll try harder. Anything for my Ava."
Betty's face darkened a little.
"You'll see her tomorrow. I'll go with you. I want to see what she looks like now. But I still prefer Jiang over Ava."
Roman waved his hand. "Enough. Did you send her away?"
"Yes," Betty said. "A long time ago."
"Good," Roman replied, leaning back with a satisfied smile.
Miss Ava went back to her seat after what happened at the airport. She looked calm, but her children could tell something was wrong.
"Mum, why did you take so long?" Felix asked, watching her closely.
"I thought you left us," Jane said, crossing her arms and acting upset.
Ava smiled and touched their cheeks.
"Mummy would never leave you. I love you both very much."
Felix narrowed his eyes. "Then why were you gone so long?"
"It's nothing important," Ava replied.
Felix shook his head. "I don't believe you. I'll find out myself."
"Stop bothering Ben," Ava said. "He is busy working."
What Ava didn't know was that Ben wasn't doing the real work.
The real hacker was the small boy beside him, watching quietly.
"Okay," Felix said. "I'll listen this time. But I hope… it was a man."
Ava blinked. "What man?"
"The one who made you late," Felix said with a grin.
Jane leaned forward. "Wait… does that mean I'm getting a father?"
Ava's face turned cold right away.
"You both know what happened between your father and me," she said.
"I don't want to hear that word again. Never say 'father' in front of me. Is that clear?"
Felix nodded. "Clear."
Jane nodded too. "Clear."
"Good," Ava said softly.
When the plane landed, everything went smoothly.
Even though Ava lived simply, she was very rich and powerful.
A black car was waiting outside. The luggage was handled quickly, and soon they were on their way to their new home.
When they arrived, Jane pressed her face against the window.
"Wow! This house is mine forever!"
Felix laughed. "Don't forget, I'm here too. Why would it be yours?"
Jane rolled her eyes. "Please. You're not a man. You're a baby boy."
"Then let's see who gets the bigger room!" Felix said.
"I will!" Jane shouted.
"No, I will!"
"Enough!" Ava said firmly.
"You are twins. Twins share one room."
Both children groaned.
"That's not fair!"
"No more arguing," Ava said as they got out of the car.
"Go upstairs. I need to make dinner."
Felix froze. "Mum… you're cooking?"
Ava coughed. "Ahem… I mean, I'll order food."
Jane sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness! I thought you were going to burn the house."
She ran upstairs laughing.
"Wait for me!" Felix shouted. "Don't leave me behind!"
Ava watched them and sighed.
"Can't even one of you support your mother," she muttered.
