His Devious Rule

At hospital,

Alvin was laughing at Anya when she pinched his back. She couldn\'t believe even after all these ruckuses, they were flirting and laughing. Probably that\'s why people say, when you are with the right person, the problem means little in front of the relationship.

She tugged him to get his attention on her question, "What happened to Earl? Is he alright?"

If Alvin brought Earl to the hospital, the Lewis family doesn\'t know about it. She was hoping Earl to be healthy.

Alvin faintly nodded in response. There was a bit of jealousy that she was worried about another man. Anyway, they were the reason Earl was drugged.

Adjusting her to sit properly, letting her lean on him, he stopped her before she made plans to meet Earl, "Let him wrap his mind around the drug incident. He is \'mortified\' according to Benson."

Anya furrowed hearing drug. She needs to apologize for pulling him to their mess."Obviously. It is only common to Gianna Sallow."

Anya suddenly sat back after uttering Gianna Sallow. Why did Gianna plan to drug Earl? She couldn\'t believe Gianna was so disgusting to think of bringing her to drugged Earl.

Seeing her horrid expression, Alvin reached out saying, "It\'s all ov…"

Anya gasped, unawarely avoiding his touch. A shiver ran down her spine looking at his hand. She licked her dry lips taking a deep shaky breath.

She was safe, yet the thought of going through the same night dreaded her. That time she was powerless and she was ready to make that sacrifice for Alvin. Today, she was drugged. Even her years of effort wouldn\'t have been helpful.

Alvin had thought she was overcoming her fright. It seemed raw in her eyes as soon as she discerned Gianna\'s plan. "Little Donut." His voice was deep and low, gently soothing her nerves.

"I want a laptop." Anya blurted out.

She is married and has a baby. How could Gianna come up with such a heinous plan for another woman?

Anya wasn\'t going to let off Gianna at any cost. She will gather as much evidence as she could, and register as many cases as possible unless she could be assured Gianna would live the rest of her life behind the bars.

Alvin updated her about the progress with the new cases against Gianna and all the reports they had sent to the station. Furthermore, his team was also working on finding substantial proof against Gianna so that no legal team could refute it.

Anya sighed. She should depend on Alvin but she couldn\'t just sit and let him do everything on his own.

Relaxing her nerves, she tugged his sleeves and grumbled, "You have a company to take care of," then she requested him, "Shall I handle this please?"

Alvin knew he wouldn\'t be able to say no to her if she is persistent. Anyway, he childishly reasoned, "You have two brats to handle." Anything to make up for her mood.

Anya was confused for a moment before she giggled, "My two Chipmunks are sweethearts. They won\'t trouble me."

An adorable voice came from the doorway, "I won\'t trouble you, Momma. But I can\'t assure you if another one is a sweetheart."

Alvin: "..."

He narrowed his eyes at the little enemy who was set on making him the villain. No problem, "No classes tomorrow." He had almost considered giving the little enemy another swimming class. Ungrateful little brat.

Zane paused when he heard Alvin. He didn\'t want to ask Anya to teach him as she was unwell. So he was going to do as he had threatened.

Passing a box of dinner to Confused Anya\'s hand, he flashed her an innocent smile, "Momma, may I sleep with you today?"

Alvin had a counter plan for it. Once his little enemy sleeps, he will toss him back to his room. He mused pulling the overbed dinner table, "Little Donut, I can easily hold 30 pounds in a hand."

Zane imagined Alvin holding him upside down and shot him a look of daggers. He had thought the three could sleep together. Looks like he will have to make it to two and take his mommy away.

Anya watched the two have some kind of conversation without directly talking.

Despite the ruckus, the party was still the most happening in the city. People drank, enjoyed, and tried to find a way to stay at the clubhouse for the night. But the security made sure every one of them left without letting them hide in any corner.

Linus took care of Earl\'s absence from the Lewis family, however, he didn\'t tell anybody about the drug incident, including Krystle.

Linus and Krystle returned to her apartment and went to bed. The Lewis parents wondered if they should give a hand to Anya and Alvin, but chose to be silent in the end.

The elders of the Collins family had left right after Alvin. Elder Collins was mad at his daughter, Janet for her selfishness.

Wasn\'t it time Janet stood as support to Alvin and Anya?

But all he could see was her nervousness as the Matthews family members were against each other beginning their battle. It won\'t be long before Gianna will go down, blowing up the Matthews family secrets. He wondered how Janet and Gianna were any different from each other.

Bernard was in a foul mood too as drunk Janet had called him and asked him to speak with Alvin to hide about her. Thus they disconnected from the world and rested.

…

Dennis and Catalina never really enjoyed the business news or entertainment gossip. However, the Owen house was wide awake as Anya had assured them she will take care of Gianna as soon as possible.

They watched the live show where Gianna and Cordelia entered with Casper. So they were worried if Gianna would do something again.

As soon as the news came that Gianna was detained for attempting to kidnap, both uncomfortably watched for more updates.

It wasn\'t late when they started receiving calls from friends and relatives. Some of them had never contacted them after knowing Anya was pregnant out of wedlock. It was the same when Anya\'s name was published as a wanted criminal.

In her tension, she clicked on the silent mode of both the mobile phones, assuming those people were calling as Anya\'s name was linked with Alvin Matthews.

They were good people, but not foolish to bring the toxic people back into their life.

At the chief justice\'s private office in the evening,

Jason hurriedly arrived at the office by dropping off his work. His footsteps ceased when he saw a cyber security chief sitting on the couch.

Before he could greet the chief justice, the latter threw a file on the coffee table. "Why don\'t I know Officer Owen is getting treatment for PTSD?"

Jason furrowed when he heard Chief Justice. His cold gaze landed on the cyber security chief who never misses a chance to bring down his team.

He grabbed the file and saw the still pictures of Anya taken from security cameras. She went to the the psychiatric department thrice. Once with Krystle, another time with Alvin, and a third time alone.

Jason went through the files and found the reports in Anya\'s name. Although there weren\'t many details about her problems, there were enough details to tell, that Anya might need further consultation.

The cyber security chief scorned Jason, "Chief Jason, don\'t forget a secret service officer should be in their right state of mind for us to trust her. She is evidently unfit for the job."

Jason clenched his jaw and looked at the man. It was very clear that the cyber security chief had been collecting evidence against Anya for a long time.

As soon as he got to know Anya was being awarded, he reached the chief justice to eliminate Anya from awardees and label her as an incapable and irresponsible officer.
