His Devious Rule

Chapter 302 To Count Broken Bones

Alvin woke up early and got ready wondering if he shouldn't have included Zane. Although he had kept Anya distracted, he could see how much it had affected Anya.

Now he was leaving for an infinite period. He never used to stay in Narnia and now, he wasn't ready to leave Narnia.

Reaching the bed, he shook his head looking at his little brat in her arms. Cordelia was over the moon, Casper was busy renovating the mansion and Gianna was restless but oddly silent.

Zane had smartly said he has exams and he would visit them later. He had indirectly asked them not to disturb. A crafty son indeed.

He reached to caress Anya's cheeks but paused. She will wake up. He was leaving when the alarm went off and Anya's hand reached for him on the bed. "Alvin!?"

A gentle knock and Anya turned to him. Rubbing her eyes with another hand, Anya yawned. Her groggy mind slowly noticed he was prepared to leave at five in the morning.

"So early? Why didn't you tell me?" She almost cried as she rolled down the bed making sure Zane didn't wake up. Then she ran out of the bedroom.

Alvin: "..."

Instead of talking with him, where did she run away?

Wearing his dress shoe, Alvin went to look for her when he got caught by his grandfather. Elder Collins kept the Ipad away and glared at his grandson.

"Where did you sleep?" They already had an unplanned baby, he didn't want them to again do the same mistake before marriage.

Alvin silently inhaled through his mouth. What was everyone's problem with them? They weren't kids… Oops, five years ago they weren't kids either.

He was silently going towards the kitchen where there were faint noises but the old man grunted, "Are you deaf?"

Do they have to start the day by shouting?

"In the room." He deadpanned.

Elder Collins was infuriated at the incomplete response. "Don't play smart with me. I haven't forgiven you yet."

At least one was there to say he was in the wrong. Alvin strangely wanted somebody to remind him that he was a jerk.

He answered monotonously, "Your great-grandson also slept with us." And what makes this old man think Anya would let him have his way?

Elder Collins cooled down and questioned, "Did you propose Anya? When are you guys getting married?"

'Propose!?' Alvin started to consider it after hearing both youngest and oldest men saying the same thing.

Before he could respond, Anya ran out of the kitchen with a cup and plate in her hand while holding her breath. "Hold, hold… Hold…" She yammered, giving him the coffee mug.

She could only make an egg and avocado toast in such a short time. Grabbing the slice of bed, she held it near his mouth, "Aaa…" All she had in her mind was there was no time.

Alvin: "..."

It wasn't the first time she was feeding him. The first time was broccoli as a punishment for disliking it.

Looking at her, completely unbothered about everything and focusing on feeding him something before letting him go warmed the deepest corner of his cold heart.

Anya glanced at the toast, seeing him just stand and stare at her. "You- don't like this?"

Probably he would eat poison if she fed. He took a bite of toast.

Whenever he went to Collins, they indeed took care of him. His housekeeper and butler always made sure to fill the table with what he likes to eat. Everything fell short, in front of a small toast she was feeding.

He wasn't expecting anything like this. Anyway, if she kept this up every day, he would be spoiled.

Elder Collins smiled looking at Alvin who finally had someone to take care of him. Alvin needs to understand breakfast wasn't just a meal. Elder Collins stood up and silently left the room for them. He was liking Anya more and more.

Rob who came to the door, paused looking at Anya feeding Alvin and the latter silently enjoying. When Alvin's eyes fell on him, he pointed at his wrist watch indicating they need to leave quickly, and returned to the car.

When he ate the toast, Anya asked, pointing towards the kitchen, "Shall I get you one more?"

He would have but no time. Alvin hugged her, who was on her toes. "Goofball… Call me if there is anything, anytime." She had successfully convinced him to take Rob who was his secretary.

Anya obediently hummed and unwillingly bid him. Looking at the villa, she missed him right away. Shaking her head, she got into her routine.

Giving coffee to Elder Collins, she was in the home gym when Zane arrived and revised his chapters orally with her. After dropping him at the school, Anya went to meet a person.

—––––

In a cafe,

Anya was sipping coffee when the door of the cafe opened. A man in casuals entered inside and looked around. He approached her and greeted, "Officer Owen." He faintly smiled.

Anya shook his hand and pointed to the chair, "Captain David, have a seat." He was the same captain who worked with her on the PSR case in Coastal city.

"I was wondering why I was transferred out of the blue." He mused with a chuckle. Since she invited him to meet right after he arrived, he guessed she was behind his transfer. Being recognized by a secret service officer was better than any awards.

Anya was glad he didn't have a look of resentment for bringing him to the capital, away from his home city. Anya was aware that changing the city and moving the family to a new place was a tough task.

Nevertheless, she apologized, "I am sorry for the inconvenience. I had to choose a cop and I found you more suitable than anybody."

David knew well to blend into the plans and where to talk and what not to speak. He was new to the city so she could have an eye on his activities and the new connections.

Honestly, David did find it inconvenient however it could happen anytime on his job so he tried to look at the positive side of the situation.

"I am honored to work with you again, officer Owen." She wouldn't pick any small cases so he was kind of anticipating his work.

Would it be more interesting than the PSR case?

More importantly, he liked working alongside her. She wasn't like other seniors who fear or get influenced by power.

Although she was distant, she was also polite and considerate of her team members, unlike the overbearing seniors who just shouts at them and take credit for others' work.

Anya pushed a file towards him. Since she chose him to work for her, she wasn't going to leave him in the middle of the road. "There are details about houses and flats around the school district which are closer to your workplace." She had also listed her old villa in rentals as Alvin wasn't using it.

David grabbed the file in shock. She didn't have to do any of that. If this was solved, he could get his family soon.

"About your son's education, Elite and First high school are good for your budget." She had already spoken with the principals while on the way to the cafe, so it wouldn't be a problem.

David chuckled looking at the complete details of everything. After loads of gratification, discussion, and suggestion, they came down to the work.

"Most importantly, I am sure you are aware of the secrecy of my identity." She pushed another file to take the signature on the confidentiality papers.

Once David went through the clauses and understood everything, he signed immediately.

"Going further, stop addressing me as Officer. To the world, I will be resigning from the job."

A mission!? David was excited to know more, "Interesting."

Anya didn't tell him about the mission. She gave him the tasks, and short-term aims. Those were the tasks he will have to do while he does his usual work.

Anya stood up checking the time on her wristwatch. "I have to pick my son. I will take my leave. If there is anything, you can contact me."

Both shook their hands, Anya who was leaving returned in front of him, "Captain David, do you think you could nullify a complaint?"

Nullify? David became thoughtful. It was illegal to invalidate a complaint without proper reason. "May I know why?"

Anya innocently shrugged her shoulders, "I am going to thrash a man tomorrow." She couldn't have done it under Alvin's eyes. Now, Gabriel Sallow will have to count broken bones.

David almost choked on his spit at her casual remark. He cleared his throat, "How about we falsify a case on him?"

Anya nodded, "Good idea. I will put my wallet in his jacket." If Gabriel goes to complain, her wallet will be found with him. So he will be kicked into prison for stealing.

David: "..."
