Tyler and Ania becomes so close wtih each other. Ania even overcomes her trauma in such a short period of time. She feels safe and secured with them around her. All of them gives her the attention she needed and the love she always wanted. Tyler would even takes her to his shooting whenever Slacovich and the others are busy. They enrolled her in a prestigious school and will be personally taken and picked up from school by them. They remain calm in every attempt Volton pulls at them. They don"t wanna be reckless and risk someone life. This time they"re gonna make sure to counter with a big blow. For Ara"s sake and for theirs.Back at Volton"s company, the Demonfire"s calmness triggers him even more. His patience is totally gone. He wants them to strike back but only gets nothing in return. He thought the moment Ara"s death reach them they"ll seek revenge immediately but yet they stayed low and no further actions taken to strike him back.
"This is driving me nuts! All the preparations and plans have been for nothing! They are testing my patience!" Volton throws out his table in anger.
"Dear please calm down. Maybe they"re planning something big against you. It"s impossible for them not to seek revenge. Especially they lost Ara who"s been a family to them. Knowing how close they are with each other for sure there"s something going on." Dr. Spencer caresses his back and makes him sit down on the chair as she sits on his lap facing him.
"We"ve monitored all their movement yet they doesn"t seem to bother at all."
"That"s what they want you to think. When they know you"re agitated then they can see an opening and will let you left unguarded. Do you want them to do that?"
"I just want to show them the power of the four reapers. To prove them our strength and dominance over them."
"They will witness it with their own eyes in time. For now, let"s play the waiting game with them."
"You know I just can"t sit still. I need to provoke them in any ways I can."
"Then why not start with their new princess? She"s studying at Middleton Elementary. We should pay her a visit."
"Great idea. There"s gonna be a family event at school they"ll be there for sure. Ask the Princ.i.p.al about the details of that school acitivity. I"m volunteering to be the sponsor. Let"s see how they"ll react on our presence." Volton grinned evily as he kisses Dr. Spencer and lay her down on the sofa.
At the mansion, Ania happily gives the flyer of the school event that"s gonna happen this weekend. She kisses their cheeks one by one and makes them sit on the sofa. She stands up on the table in the center and excitedly tells the news.
"Oh! Ania be careful." Diego a.s.sists her as she climbs the table.
"Listen up everyone." Ania smiled widely as she can.
"There seems to be something good. What is it?" Li asked as she fix Ania"s uniform.
"Well,--" Ania then felt a little shy.
"Come on sweetie, we"ve been your family for seven months and your birthday is coming up two weeks from now. You should feel at ease Ania." Slacovich carried her in his arms.
"Well, there"s gonna be a family activity at school. And all of you are my family so, if you"re not busy can you come to my school and partic.i.p.ate it with me?" She looks down as she blushes shyly.
"That"s really a news Ania. All of us will be going there. Even your big sis Carolina and grandpa Nicholson. We won"t let it slip by." Tyler takes her in his arms and kisses her cheek. All of them can see the happiness in her eyes.
"Really? Yehey!" She kisses Tyler s cheek repeatedly in happiness and ask him to put her down and gives everyone a loving kiss on the cheek. Ara might not be around anymore but Ania lightens up a new path for them.
"I"m the happiest kid in the entire world. All of you are coming no one will bully me anymore."
"Bully? Who"s bullying you at school Ania?" Harry"s face turns serious making Ania feel defensive.
"Not really big brother Harry. It"s just that my cla.s.smates often tease me I"m alone and not loved by anyone. They always put things in my bag making me look like a stole it."
"Who dared bully you will pay double. What else dis they tell you?"
"They told me that I don"t have a family. I kept telling them I have all of you but they won"t believe me."
"Then this family activity will be the proof. We will show them what kind of family we are. About that let me give you something." Slacovich opens up an envelope with doc.u.ments inside.
"What"s that?" Ania asked innocently.
"This is proof that you are a family. From now on you will be Ania Demonfire. All doc.u.ments are settled and legalized. You are legally our princess." Ania"s very very happy to hear the greatest news of her life. She now have a family and a home she can call her own. They all celebrated her legality as a member of the Demonfire and went out to eat at the beat restaurant. They booked the whole place and let"s the chef serve them personally. On their way to the restaurant they were greeted by all the employees and the owner itself.
"Welcome Mr. Demonfire, we are honored that you choose my restaurant as a place to celebrate something important. Having all the members of your family here is really an honor. Is this the new Demonfire princess?" The owner faces Ania with a smile.
"Yes, she"s a real Demonfire. The only princess." Tyler carries her in his arms like a spoiled princess. The employees takes them to their seats and the chef personally serve the food. They treated Ania very well that overwhelms her. She wanted to use the washroom and Li takes her there.
"Ania I"ll answer the call for a bit okay? Will you be alright inside?"
"Yes big sis Li. I"ll just wash my hands." Li stays outside the washroom to asnwer the call. Another girl enters the washroom and sees Ania washing her hand. She"s Ania"s cla.s.smate who bullies her always. She"s the daughter of the restaurant"s owner.
"What are you doing in my father"s restaurant? You shouldn"t be allowed here!" She angrily grabs Ania"s hair and pushes her down the floor. Ania didn"t cry but instead she stands up and fixes her dress. She walked pa.s.s by the girl but she grab her by the arm.
"Clarisse I don"t want to fight with you."
"Since when did you have the right to talk back?" Clarisse slaps her and Ania just held back her tears.
"I"m not gonna cry. I won"t fight you back cause that"s bad." Clarisse"s mother enters the washroom and then she pretended to be pushed by Ania. She cries and rushes towards her mother.
"What happened to you?"
"Ania pushed me!"
"What the h.e.l.l? Who gave you the right to bully my daughter?" Clarisse s mother grabs her collar and yells at her. Ania still tries hard not to cry. Then she"s drag outside the washroom. Good thing Li finishes with the call and about to get back to Ania. The scene breaks her heart as she sees Ania being drag away forcefully.
"Hey let go of her!" Li takes Ania away gently. To Clarisse"s mother"s surprise she steps back when she sees Li angry.
"Miss Li, I didn"t know that the little girl"s with you." Her voice trembles.
"You don"t need to know. Even if she"s not with us, you don"t have the slightest right to hurt a kid!"
"But I saw her bully my daughter."
"Ania never bullies anyone! Did you actually see her bully your daughter?"
"Well, my daughter said Ania pushed her. And just saw my daughter crying."
"Well then, can we see the surveillance footage? I"m sure it captured the truth."
"Then if that"s what settles it then I"ll take you to the security room."
"Mom, no." Clarisse stops her mother from going to the security room.
"And why is that little girl?" Li glares at her. She just cried instead. Getting terrified on Li"s glare she told the truth.
"She didn"t push me. I lied. Don"t tell father mom or he"ll get mad at me." Li carries Ania and takes her back with the other. Slacovich and the others can see her swollen cheek and gets mad.
"Who did this to you?" Li looks at the little girl and the rest understood. Clarisse"s father rushes to their side to ask for forgiveness for his daughter"s actions.
"Mr. Demonfire, I"m sorry I"ll discipline my daughter. Please don"t let this affect our business transactions."
"Don"t worry big brother Slacovich. I"m okay. Clarisse told big sis the truth already. Please forgive her." Ania smiled at them. Their heart melts on how kind hearted Ania is.
"You heard our princess. If she forgive her then we will too. I just don"t want this to happen again."
"Yes Mr. Demonfire. Everyone serve them the best wine it"s on the house." The employees doubled their efforts in serving them all. Sofie kisses Ania"s swollen cheek and whispers to her tiny ear.
"No one will bully you starting today. This is for you and for your big sis Ara. We will never disappoint her and we will love you with all of our hearts." Ania smiled and hugs Sofie tightly. Then they enjoyed the rest of the day happily as a whole family.
