Chapter 2

Did Shane misheard what just this handsome little boy called her? Maybe she's having a kind of hearing difficulties, why would this little boy call her 'mommy'? Gosh! She's very much single and not ever been in a relationship since she was born, thank you.

"Mommy!" the little boy shouted and run to her.

She was so surprised especially when this little boy hugged her lower body tightly while crying.

Oh my gosh! She don't know what to do with this two kids clinging on her tightly and crying their hearts out, she turned to Therese to asked for help but she was just standing like a statue behind her and just watching them.

"Mommy, you're back." The little boy sobbed. "Please don't leave again."

Her heart tighten with the two kids crying, it breaks her heart to see them like this and she doesn't know what to say or do to coax them and tell them that she's not their mother.

"Baby boy, I'm no~"

"You! Stop right there!" The crazy woman shouted a few meters behind her, it looked like she recovered from what she just did to her. "Don't you know me?!"

"Julia, would you please stop!" Therese yelled.

"No! Just shut up, Therese!"

This Julia is really unbelivable! Doesn't she realized that she's making a huge scene and maybe some were recording a video of this so she won't be surprise if this would be uploaded online, Julia is just ruining her own self.

"You think Vince would tolerate you for making a scene here much more for inflicting an injury to her daughter? So, if I were you, I'll stop this right now." Therese is still trying to reason out with this crazy woman.

"Do you really want to lose your job, huh, Therese?!" The crazy woman bawled like a banshee. "So shut up! I have no business with you!"

She looked at Therese to assure her that it is alright and she can handle the crazy woman.

"Hey, you tramp!" How dare is this crazy woman to call her as such?! Is this Julia tired of her glamorous life that she wants to die on her hands? "How dare you do that to me?! My dad is a shareholder in this hotel! I could make your life miserable in a matter of seconds in just a snap of my finger."

Instead of rebuking, she tried to walk away with the kids, things like this, is not something they should witness in their young age.

"I said stop right there! I'm not yet done with you!"

My gosh! This crazy woman really have no shame, they're in a public place and there's so many people witnessing of her making a scene, she's even involving her and the kids.

She nonchantly looked at the crazy woman, she only can turned her head to have a look at her since she can't move easily.

"I have nothing to say to you so I don't care if you're still not done with me but I'm done with you. So, if you'll excuse us, me and the kids are starving." She said coldly.

The crazy woman smirked. "You're just scared of me."

Wow! Too much confidence. She would never be scared of the likes of this crazy woman, who could only bark but can never bite while she have more bite than bark.

She slightly turned to her with a grin. "Why would I be scared of a crazy feline that could only show her claws to a little girl? You can't even touch me."

It seems that she provoked the crazy woman since she walked to their direction and tried to slap her face but she easily dodge it and when she got a hold of it, she twisted her arm then pushed her hardly that she fell to the floor that made everyone gasped in surprise and some chuckled including Therese.

"I forgot to mention, you really can't touch me since I know some martial arts." She said in poker-face. "So, if you don't want your face to be disfigured or get a huge cut, you should stop this foolishness."

The crazy woman immediately stood up. "Not until I got my payback on you! Just wait and see, you'll regret making me your enemy!"

"You think I care? Even if you're the most influential or powerful person in the world, I won't care. I think it's you who should care and think about what you did to this little girl, you think just because you came from a wealthy family that you can get away from child abuse easily, then think again. And if you don't stop blabbering nonsense, I won't let you off and call the police for harassment and child abuse, and just for your information, I have friends from different media stations that could ruin you more faster than you could ruin mine. I'm telling you I always do what I says." She chided.

Well, that was half true and half lie since she only know two persons from a major media network but those two are the owner and the President of that network, so she thinks it's quite the same thing.

The crazy woman smirked while her arms are crossed in front then raise a brow at her. "You're just bluffing. How can someone with your status can have such influence? You're just a nobody."

"She not a nobody!" The little boy interjected while wiping his snot with his arm. "She's our mother, Shanina Ashton-Andreiage!"

Everyone in there gasped with what this little boy said, including her.

"Baby boy, I'm not your mommy." She told him softly.

"No, you're our mommy." The little girl cut in while still buried in her neck. "Please don't deny it, Mommy."

Oh my gosh, how the heck did she got herself into something like this? She only came here to work and it's only her first day, her shift haven't even started yet so technically she haven't really started her first day but so many things had already happened in a spun of a few hours.

"She can't be your mom because your mom is already dead." The crazy woman announced coldheartedly. "So, it's really impossible for her to be your mom."

"No! Daddy said that Mommy would come back because she loves us so much! And now she's here!" The little girl shouted while sending deadly glares to the crazy woman.

"Come on, Shaina. If she's really alive then why didn't she come back sooner and you heard her, she's not your mom. And accept that I'll be your new mommy since you both can't do anything about it."

Is she a kid to argue and enraged toddlers? She's not only heartless and arrogant but also immature. If these kids wasn't clinging on her, she would love to erase this crazy woman's smirks with her fist.

She glared at this pyschotic woman. "Hey, did you just lost a screw in your head."

The psychotic woman sent deadly glares at her. "What did you just say?"

"You're not just crazy but also deaf or you're brain just can't function really well that's why you think your delusions are real." She mocked her.

Some of the people around chuckled including Therese that tried to hide it but failed miserably.

"Who would be so stupid to want a crazy woman like you to be the mother of his kids, there's nothing maternal about you. I would really pity your future husband, he would marry someone like you but I assure you it won't be the father of this two cutie kids especially after he sees what you did to his princess." She added that really made this crazy woman fume in anger.

"You're going to regret this! I'm going to make you pay."

She chuckled. "Then, I'll be waiting, Miss Julia Dillon. Let's race who could be the first one to ruin the other in just a snap."

She walked away from scene with the kids and Therese immediately followed, they're now heading to the restaurant. Finally! She was really starving and if that crazy woman stop them again, she could've eaten that woman to soothe her hunger.

When they were settled in one of the tables, she let Therese ordered their lunch and just pay attention to the two kids whose faces were tear and snot stained. She wiped their faces using the wet wipes she always carries inside her coat's pocket and she also asked for an ice pack for the little girl's bruised arm.

"Why are you two roaming around without any chaperone?" She asked them. "What if you meet a bad guy like that crazy woman, see what happened when you're on your own."

"I ran from our nanny when we arrived here to go to daddy but I bumped into Miss Julia." The little girl answered.

"I followed her since she's so clumsy." The littlle boy answered this time.

They're so cute and anyone who would see them could say that they have good looking parents, they don't look exactly like her since she looks exactly their mother, but it's a mixture so it means that their father is quite good looking too even she haven't saw him yet.

She also noticed that she have the same eyes as them, not only in color but also it's shape. It seems that she and Miss Shanina have so much in common in terms of physical attributes.

Therese sighed heavily. "How many times did your daddy told you to never ran off from your nannies when you're not at home, even you're in the hotel or Andrei Tower? You're both are really stubborn like your mom."

She observed that Therese looked at her for a second when she said the word 'mom' then immediately averted her eyes away from her to look at the kids.

"It's because we're her kids, Aunt Therese." The little boy said cheekily.

"That's right!" The little girl added perkily.

Therese frowned. "And you two are also like your father."

Shane couldn't help laughing with the way their conversation was ending, it seems that Therese is being bullied by two toddlers without any kind of effort.

"Mommy, why didn't you come back early?" The little girl asked her.

She don't know what to say, aside from she wasn't their mother, she couldn't take the look they're giving her. It was filled with so much hope longing and love, it would be very difficult for them to accept and that she's not their real mother and it would also break her heart to see them hurt but she don't want to lie to them and pretend just to make them happy.

"Babies, listen. I'm not your mommy, my name is Shane Dowell and not Shanina, so it's really impossible that I am you~"

"No! You're our mommy!" they shouted in chorus.

"But~"

They both started to cry again and it really affected her that she also on the verge of crying.

"Don't you love us anymore, mommy?" The little boy sobbed. "Are you tired of us, of taking care of us? Don't worry, I'm a big boy now, I could take care of you and Shaina, you won't get tired anymore."

Oh my gosh!

"And you don't need to help us put on some clothes or do my hair or make a glass of milk for us or bathe us, we can do that on our own now, all you have to do is be with us always. So, please mommy, don't leave us again." The little girl sobbed. "Daddy also misses you so much, so please stay with us."

"And we'll be good kids, we'll never be bother or cause any kind of trouble again, we'll behave and listen to everything you and daddy would say, so that you won't get irritated or have a headache, we'll clean our rooms and the playroom, and we'll never be messy around the house, if you want we could learn some house chores to be useful and we'll study hard to be always on top of our class when we went to school this year. Just don't leave us again." The little boy added while tears were continuously falling from his eyes.

The little girl nodded. "Vander is right, we love you and miss you so much, mommy so don't leave again."

She couldn't control herself and pulled the two kids into her arms, her heart can't stand it when they're crying and begging her so desperately. If only she was really their mother then she won't deny it but it's really not possible, because she's Shane Dowell and not Shanina Ashton.

"You don't have to do that or anything, babies." She wiped her tears and the kids tears, her heart is breaking with the way their pleading. They didn't need to do anything just to be with someone they love so much, they deserve to have the best things that the world could offer, words weren't needed to say that they're the best kids any parent could ever wished for. "You don't need to beg."

"But we want you to be with us." They said in chorus while still sobbing.

"Okay, okay. Just please stop crying." She coaxed them then looked at Therese who is staring at the kids with sympathy. "I'm not going anywhere."

She knows this kind of desperation when she was a child since she grew up in an orphanage, wanting to be adopted but she doesn't remember this kind of feelings. Although, she have a memory of it but it seems that her feelings doesn't agree to it like she never felt it before but witnessing this kids now she understand the feeling and she doesn't want to see them begging like this to her or to anyone.
