Brand New Father

"Damn you." said the old man with a mustache. He was grabbing someone by their collar and was prepared to punch. But he didn't. Why did he not do it? He threw the person on the ground and left the room. "You should've stayed with that psycho, Doug."

"Why...?"

CHAPTER 1

After the terrible tragedy that happened to their parents, Mikaela and Doug had never seen each other's soul. Obviously, they both ended up in an orphanage since not one of their relatives wanted to take them in. Even Uncle Ethan and Aunt Ferrara, who happened to be the only relatives they were close to. Unlike Aunt Ferrara, Uncle Ethan at least gave them a visit every month. Heck, Aunt Ferrara was the first to decline the adoption! But enough about them, Mikaela and Doug were rich kids. They were cruel to other kids in their old school. They liked to show off their branded expensive items, bully poor children, even bully the poor teachers. Doug had wonder why their parents made them go to a public school instead of private. Mikaela knew the goal of their parents. Of course, it was to show how not everyone is like them. Maybe they had made a big mistake. They should've just let them enter private school. Their father, Mr Isaac Callaghan was a very successful businessman and their mother, Mrs Liliana Callaghan was a very famous actress. The world went quiet due to mourning Mr and Mrs Callaghan. But how did they die? You'll find out.

Mikaela and Doug had their own bedrooms and bathrooms at the orphanage, thanks to Uncle Ethan. Their family funds were handed to him until Mikaela had come of age. Which would be 2 years since then. Their parents left them millions of bucks and tons of gold. Mikaela, the eldest hadn't and wouldn't see her brother. It was likewise for Doug. Whenever Uncle Ethan visited them, they'd always take turns. Until one day, the nanny called both of them downstairs. They got out of their rooms and looked at each, confused. They weren't sure if they were siblings because of how much they had changed. Though it had only been 8 months since they last saw each other. When they met again after a while, they didn't greet or exchange handshakes or anything with each other. Doug went downstairs first while Mikaela fix her hair.

"You're finally here! It's been half an hour since I called both of you." the nanny scolded them both. The nanny was an middle-aged lady with big plastic breasts. Sometimes, when Mikaela snuck into the kitchen which was near the nanny's room, she would hear her being pounded and loud moanings of her and a guy. Males seldomly comes to this orphanage. Maybe Uncle Ethan did it with her. Anyways, behind the nanny stood a tall man with jet-black hair and eyes. He was wearing a very expensive-looking maroon suit and also good-looking. He looked like he was in his mid 30s but Mikaela was in awe. She hadn't seen a beautiful man like him in ages. Doug didn't care about the his looks, he focused on the guy's tattoo on his Adam's apple. It had a weird shape. Almost like a human's face. Doug also thought that was an awful place to get tattooed.

"This is your new guardian as of today! Aren't you excited?" The nanny was the most excited one in the room. Or so Doug thought. Mikaela's face a glowing red. She seemed to be very much excited, but to because of him being their guardian. Doug got worried of what Mikaela might do with the guy or what the guy might do with Mikaela. Unexplainable scenarios appeared in his mind like a movie being sped up. " Hi, children. I'm Edward Callaghan, your new guardian." He bowed. 'A Callaghan? Why would a relative of ours adopt us after 8 months?' thought Doug. "I'm sorry I couldn't adopt you earlier. I had..... problems." he claimed. "We're not complaining, Mr Callaghan!" said Mikaela. Mr Callaghan chuckled. "Do call me Ed." Ed turned to Mikaela. " And you, sweetheart?" Mikaela blushed hard. She smiled shyly, making her look more attractive. "My name's Mikaela, and this is my little brother, Doug." Mikaela answered happily. Ed nodded and patted Mikaela's head. She was as red as a tomato. Though Doug is the younger one, he acts like the oldest while Mikaela acts immature. "So how do I adopt them?" Ed asked the nanny. She brought him inside her office for discussion.

Mikaela pulled Doug close to her face. "Isn't he great?" Mikaela squealed. Doug was unamused. He pulled away from Mikaela while saying, "He seems unreliable." Mikaela giggled. "I don't think so. He seems really nice." Before Doug could object, the nanny interrupted. "Now now, there'll be time for chit chat later! Your guardianship papers are here. Please have a seat." She handed the papers to Ed and Mikaela but not Doug since Mikaela is older. You wouldn't know how glad Doug was to not take part of signing the papers. It was as thick as all the Harry Potter novels put together! As he wait for them both to finish with the paperworks, he went to his room to pack.

Doug had a lot of fancy and branded clothes in his drawers. Though he wouldn't wear any of the clothes because it kept reminding him of their parents death. Weirdly today, he felt calm seeing the clothes. Sadly, he can't fit all of his clothes in the bag the nanny gave him earlier. Only five shirts, five pants and a couple of boxers could fit. He wondered if he should ask the nanny for a bigger bag but then he knew he didn't have the strength to carry a heavy big bag of branded clothes.

"Do you need help packing?" Ed said while leaning on the door frame. Doug ignored his offer and continued packing. He could hear Ed walking towards him. He crouched and placed a hand on Doug's shoulder. "My my, you have a lot of clothes! Why don't you bring all of it?" Ed questioned. Doug zipped his bag a faced Ed. Even though Doug was only 13 years old, he was very tall and slim, but when compared to Ed he was 2 times shorter! Ed also had quite a medium build. Enough of that and let us continue with the storyline. "The bag's too small. That's why I'm not bringing it all." Doug explained. Ed smiled. He reached into his pocket and out comes a plastic bag. It looked small when crumpled but it was big. Big enough to fit both Mikaela and Doug's clothes. Ed handed Doug the plastic bag and headed to Mikaela's room without saying anything. Doug quickly placed all his clothes in the plastic bag and head downstairs when he finished packing.

He looked around for Ed and Mikaela but they were nowhere to be seen. He thought they might've not finish packing yet so he sat on the sofa while waiting.
