Marielle, known for her bright aura, suddenly getting strict caused them fear. While stating some new rules from Jacob, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable of the change.
She went to the living room and the maids immediately went to their quarters. “Feet off the table.” The girl who's peacefully eating her chips while watching her favorite show gave her a weird look.
“Are you practicing before she come back?” She asked, not minding anything. The woman who's standing straight fell to the sofa, threw her heels off from her feet and hugged her.
“Why does Jacob do this to me yet let you be your boyish self?” She whined to her younger sister, the girl just find her amusing.
“I know what to act when people are around, you? You just act all outgoing and even make friends. You know how cautious he can be for enemies. Many hated our business for being great.”
She scoffed at her. “Whatever Eloise.” The named girl ignored her and continued her show when someone entered the main door harshly.
“WE ARE BACK!” Her face immediately lightened up as she ran and jumped to the guy. “Henry, I missed you and kissed the guy's cheeks.
“Ew.” Ely muttered under her breath as she ignored the new people coming. “Ely! Aren't you gonna greet your brothers?” “Yeah.” She waved at them and averted her eyes back to the large screen on the wall.
“Can you see me now?” Jacob asked while covering his face with large box. She couldn't help but smile, she knew what's inside. She stood up and snatched it away from him. “Thanks, you know me well.”
She gave him a hug and Henry couldn't help but wheeze. They were heading to the kitchen when a ring from Jacob's phone stopped them from doing so.
- “Sir, we already got the information and her documents are already changed. Should we get her now?”
Who thought today would be a great day?
“No worries, we will go ourselves.” He ended the call and looked at the three. “Let's go to the orphanage now.”
“Aren't we supposed to have lunch?” Henry and Eloise asked together. “Not now twins, let's go.” Marielle pushed the two outside.

Lea didn't listened for a bit in her class, she suddenly wondered how it is like outside. Well, other than school and orphanage, they only visit the park.
She then got an idea. First, she waited for the classes to finish until they are going home.
The bus stopped at the orphanage and the orphans are going down, greeting Hannah who is by the gate. Lea looked around before running across the street.
Hannah's eyes widened in horror she tried running to her but got stopped by the bus driver because a car is running and she would get hit if he let her.
When there are no cars, she immediately rushed to follow the girl. “LEA!!!”

They drive was peaceful and Ely was left with her cousins, William, Harry, and David. Henry kept whining about not having lunch so they decided to go order with him.
She is also hungry but of course, Jacob trusted her more than anyone. They arrived peacefully to the orphanage and saw a different woman.
“Excuse me?” The woman with a short hair looked at him. “Is this their an orphan named Lea living here?” She jolted up from her sit.
“Are you her family member?” They nodded and she sighed in relief. “Yeah, indeed, there is. But the problem is, she ran away just earlier.”
Their eyes doubled it's size. “Now that smells trouble.” Ely spoke before going back to the car.

Lea smiled in victory seeing that she lost Hannah. She is now wandering around when she saw men in black suits. At first, she thought they are looking for someone else until she realized they are coming for her.
“Oh shoot.” She immediately ran away and got chased instantly.
These are the modern days kidnappers? They don't look bad.
“Lea!” Great, now they know my name too. “We are your family!” The guy said while still chasing her.
“Sure that's what all kidnappers say.” She is now regretting for replying since she's now struggling more to keep her pace.
She is now having a hard time breathing so she stoppe and they immediately held her and dragged her to their car. Helpless since she got no strength to fight back.
God, help me, I think I'm gonna have my organs sold in a black market.

She slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she saw is the white ceiling. “Lord, am I in heaven now? Or still gonna get my organs remove?” She thought loudly making William and David laugh.
Harry looked at her sympathetically. “You must be scared.” He spoke genuinely but in Lea's perspective, he is asking to scare her more.
“Yes... just kill me now so I can't feel the pain. Kill me!” She cried. “Hey!” She stopped crying when Eloise interrupted her. “Can you stop being dramatic? We didn't even do anything.”
She instantly sat up and touched her body to see if she's still whole and complete. “What do you need? I don't have money, I don't have parents, all I have is my smart brain—”
“We aren't kidnappers, okay? What kind of kidnappers treated your swelling ankle and let you in their house openly?” Harry asked, laughing, there she realized.
“Oh.” “Stupid.” Ely said and was about to go when Lea called her. “Hey, hey, hey! I know your tall but I might be older than you so respect me. I am not stupid, you are!”
Ely scoffed. “I know you are older. But I don't think you need respect especially of how you treated us like we're bad people.”
“Aren't you? Who chases a stranger and brings them to their house?” William crouched a little bit to level her height. “We're your family.” “What?!”
