EPISODE 7
Aisha looked at him and smiled sarcastically, “Okay, sorry. I got it. Just so be careful with your heart grandpa, you might not live long to see your other great grandkids.” She jokingly answered.
“D-did you just say sorry a while ago?” Master Omni crea-sed a brow. The Stacy she knew doesn’t recline like this. She s in without thinking. If it is the Stacy he knew, there will be a world war 3 inside the house for sure. But the Stacy in front of him is so casual and calm. Did she bang her head somewhere?
“Great paps, I want to ride a horse, I want a horse.” Eli interrupted. His grandpa nodded.
“Wait! Did you say a horse? You have a horse here?” Aisha got excited. It’s been a while that she hasn’t ride her horse. Master Omni and Eli stared at her puzzled.
“Yes” Master Omni answered.
“I want to come!” She jumps up the sofa and run towards the two. She happily hu-gged Master Omni’s hand but the old man jolted. The guards and the maids were rendered speechless. Even the mansion’s butler MO didn’t dare to talk. They walked together but Master Omni tried to shake her hands of her, however, she didn’t take her hands off so the old man left it that way as they headed to the ranch.
“I think it is not impossible to rain in a dessert.” Butler Mo smiled.
Eli dozed off to sleep after his horse-riding session with his great paps and amazingly with his mom. Butler Mo carried him and laid him in his old room while Master Omni went to the Veranda. He just finished a call when Aisha joined him and gave him a cu-p of tea. The Old man hesitantly accepted. Aisha laughed
“Don’t worry Old man, I didn’t poison your tea,” she jokingly said.
“hmp! How can I be sure of that?” he sarcastically answered. They suddenly burst a crisp laugh together.
After a while, Aisha sat at the couch while sipping her tea. “Ah, this feels good. I miss this feeling” She said as she closed her eyes to savor the aroma of the green tea. She suddenly remembered her father. Master Omni looked at her direction. He saw how calm she is. She’s honestly enjoying the tea. She’s not pretending. Master Omni look at the sky then he smiled.
On the other side, a guy wearing a formal suit approached a man sitting in his table. An envelope was handed to him.
“Sir, this are the things I gathered today. Like the other day, she was with the child.”
“Good job. Keep monitoring.” The man said.
“By the way sir,” the guy picked up some pictures and handed it to him. it was the woman fighting with a guy. The man raised a brow. “I’ll see myself out sir,” the guy went out. The man looked at the photo and examined it carefully. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“I nee-d you to check something for me. I’ll send you the details.” Then he hung up.

*2 days later*
“E-Ethan! I- I thought you will be staying in Paris for 2 weeks? Why didn’t you tell me that you’re going home earlier than expected?” Aisha was astounded when Ethan came inside the room. He’s supposed to come home by Wednesday.
“Am I not allowed to decide how long my business trip will take?” He icily answered. She smiled weakly. She was actually happy to know that he already came back. She doesn’t know but she kinda miss him. just the sight of him makes her happy even if He never laid his eyes on her. She didn’t know why; guess he hates her that much. But she decided to win him over again, for her sister? Yes, it should be for the sake of her sister.
“I, I am actually happy to see you.” She mumbled, “I’ll just prepare your shower,” she hastily run inside the bathroom. After that she called him in.
“Ethan? What do you want to eat, I’ll prepare something for you.” she yelled.
“Anything” he lazily answered. Aisha went directly to the kitchen and prepared a sweet and spicy roasted chicken with sweet mashed potato. The house chef once told her that Ethan mostly eats any kind of dish made out of chicken.
When Aisha went in, Ethan already changed into his trunks — “again?” She muttered. She placed the food tray beside Ethan and motioned him to eat. He looked at her surprisingly.
“Since when did you learn how to cook?” he mocked her. “Are you sure this is edible? You’re not planning to kill me; I hope” He doubted her. Aisha let out a crispy laugh that echoed in the room.
“How would I dare to kill the most handsome man in the country?” she joked.
“‘Then you should eat with me then,” he taunted her.
“B-but I already ate earlier,” she pouted. Ethan crea-sed a brow as if judging her.
“Yah!” she stomped her foot in dismay. “Why are you doubting me!? Why should I try to kill my husband? Am I that insane in your eyes?! She yelled. Ethan was not convinced at all. He just watched her while his arms crossed.
“Fine! I’ll eat with you! Oh no! I will eat everything, just watch and don’t you dare eat my roasted chicken!” Aisha sat opposite him with an irritated face. She took the chicken wings and started bi-ting it. She keeps eating, still upset. Ethan just watch her in awe.
“What?!” she looked at him, “Why are you not eating anything,huh?! You’re still doubting me? Fine! Then you should starve.! Oh no, that’s not fair, you should take a bite so we will die together! She eyed him frustratingly.
“You already ate half of the chicken, are you sure you’re going to finish all of that?” he really wanted to laugh while watching her upset face, but he tries to mask it with his sarcasm.
“YES, I WILL! I will die from poison anyway, so why not consume everything while it tastes delicious!” she’s yelling with her mouth full.
“Just give me that you damn woman, you’ll get sick in no time! “Ethan tried to pull the tray away from her but she held it ti-ght.
“Why do you even care!” She shouted. ” If I get sick then that’ll be fine! It’s even better if I die quickly since that makes you happy! I RATHER DIE SINCE YOU HATE ME ANYWAY!”
“Will you stop spewing nonsense words and give me the damn tray!” Ethan got suddenly upset. “Do you think dying is a joke?!
“Who do you think started that nonsense?!” she released the tray. Ethan saw the tears that started to build up in her eyes but she looked away while pursing her li-ps. “Is it that ha-rd to trust your wife?” she pouted. She’s about to say something but Ethan cut her off by capturing her li-ps. Her eyes wide-ned.
“D-did he ki-ssed me? no! he is ki-ssing me!” Aisha was shocked and her mind was in jumble. She cannot think straight. She froze..
“Would that be enough as a compensation?” Ethan suddenly spoke when he released her li-ps. He didn’t hear any response. Aisha froze, she’s not even blinking. She looks like a girl character in an anime movie who was just ki-ssed by her ultimate crush for the first time.
“tsk! will you stop acting as if it was your first ki-ss!” Ethan wake her in her daze.
“B-but that was my first ki-ss!” she muttered silently. She doesn’t know what to feel. She feels like killing him and at the same time ki-ssing him again. She finally glared at him.
“Then don’t eat if you don’t want!” she took the food tray in Ethan’s hands and she stride back to the kitchen.
Ethan was perplexed by her sudden action. But he shrugged it away.
Aisha was in the kitchen when Caleb suddenly called.
“Why are you calling me at this late hour?!” she yelled.
“Oops! seems like someone made you upset this late hour, huh? Were you dump by someone?” Caleb let out a mocking laugh.
“Shut up! Just tell me why’d you call?” still upset.
“Aisha, I got a report that someone knew where you are right now. though I’m not sure if they knew your exact location. Sis, you are in danger so you better come back here so we can fully protect you!” Caleb was worried sick for Aisha’s safety.
“Caleb I can’t! you know that right? I nee-d to stay here until my twin sister gets better. I nee-d to protect her and her family. You un-derstand my situation right?” She explained.
“Aisha, I un-derstand, I totally do. but If your enemies found out, your lives will be in danger as well!”
“they won’t know. Nobody knew about my real identity. No one even know that we are identical twins. As long as they won’t discover it, I’ll be safe. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to watch my back. I will protect them with my life as well.”
“Okay. I won’t be able to persuade you anyway. Just be careful. And let me know if you nee-d me there, okay?”
“Yes. thanks.” When the call ended, Aisha punch the kitchen’s wall in frustration but she didn’t notice the shadow hiding in a corner who heard their full conversation.
