Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

"Are we going to adopt a child?" I asked confused and all I get is laugh.

"I'm not yet that desperate to become a father love." he pat my head.

We are welcomed by a smiling woman who I think is at her fifties. She hugs the Deus the moment he saw him. Oww I think they are close.

"It's been a while Dos. You are so handsome boy." he mess Deus hair then her eyes suddenly stop at me. She smiles at me and look at Deus with teasing eyes.

"Ohhh, who is she?" she asked. Deus hold my hand and pull me beside him.

"She’s, my girlfriend. Her name is Heaven" he introduced me. I smiled at her and offer my hand but she pulls me for a hug instead.

"She's so pretty. How come you got a girl like her. I thought you'll stay single forever cause you're too shy with girls and you always have a scary face." she said

"I'm not shy around girls" he defended himself while rubbing the back of his neck. She let go of me and stare at my face. That's a bit awkward.

"Gosh, you look like a living doll. Look at that perfect face. You should keep her Dos." she pinched my cheeks.

"I love your eyes Heaven. By the way I'm Carol."

"Nice to meet you." I smiled at her. She keeps on staring at my face like she's trying to memorize it. I am feeling shy.

"You're scaring her, Carol." Deus intertwined his finger to mine.

"Sorry, but just look at that visual. She can join the miss universe." she said and I'm a little flattered. Actually, I got a lot of pageant offers but I'm too shy for that kind of things. I might end up having mind block or I might stumble in stage due to too much nervousness.

"That's a no no. A lot of boys will have opportunity to admire her body and beauty." Deus said and Carol chuckled.

"You and your father have the same opinion about that. Tss possessive Cavelli's. By the way we need to go now. The program is about to start." she guide us to a big hall. We are welcomed by a loud music. I see a lot tables and a lot of children are sitting there. They are happily singing together the song that is playing in the big speakers.

Owww so this is an event for the orphans. This is nice.

"Ellieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" I heard a loud disturbing shout from the other side of the hall. Just by hearing the sound of the voice I can tell who it was.

I only have two energetic friends. If his not Tres yeah, she's no other than Ali. She's here.

Is it a coincidence?

She run to me and hug me like we didn't see each other just yesterday. No one can beat her energy. I hope she can transfer some to me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as she cling to me like a monkey.

"Surprise!!!" she raised her two arms and turn around.

What?

"You want to experience childhood right. Old man and I collaborated to make you experience being a child again." she rolled her eyes as she mentions Deus.

"Today you are eight again. I mean we are eight again. We will play and do what children are supposed to do. And to make this more memorable we decided to include them." she pointed at the children around us.

"The more the merrier" I look behind me and saw Kaiden. Owwww. I don't know what to say.

They got me. I am so happy right now. I am speechless.

"Come on let's start so we can play a lot of games." Ali started the program.

She is the master of ceremony and she is doing it like a professional. The kids are laughing with her corny jokes.

My heart is full of joy right now. I badly want to cry as I appreciate their efforts but that is not the right thing to do right now. Everyone is laughing and crying might ruin the mood.

I look at Deus and he is laughing too. I come to him and kiss his cheeks.

"Thanks" I whispered and he kiss me on forehead.

"No worries, babe. I love you." he winked at me. He's a treasure.

We started to play a lot of games. I enjoyed the hide and seek with the kids. Deus is the seeker. The children choose him and he can’t say no. It's a little hard to find everybody cause the vicinity is wide. I laugh and laugh at him looking so impatient to find everyone. His brows are in thin line and he is not looking fine.

We also played tag and sack race. The children are so active and competitive making the games more enjoyable. Deus is involved in all games and of course he is the most competitive of them all.

I saw him and Kaiden exchanging deadly stares during the game. I don't know what's between them though. The two even paired at the three-legged race and the two can't stop arguing. None of them is ready to listen so they ended up falling on the ground. The children keep on laughing thinking they are just making them laugh.

Remind me to scold at this two later.

After the tiring games we eat a sumptuous lunch together. Deus and Ali planned this well. The children are so happy just like me. You can see it in their eyes as they talk about what happened. They are sweaty and tired but the smile on their faces is priceless.
