His Devious Rule

In the study,

"A few men from country X came to the city overnight. They are President Johnson\'s secretary and a legal practitioner.

They are trying to forge a false medical certificate to get Harper Johnson out. It could also avoid law from punishing Harper for any of his acts." Rob reported the overnight activities.

Alvin sipped his coffee. He could bring destruction for Harper easily however Anya was working on it legally.

Wouldn\'t her efforts and her work go in vain if he intervenes directly? He fell into a dilemma.

She told him he should let her do her work and protect her, instead of doing something in the name of her safety that stops her. If he deals with Harper, it will directly affect her job.

Rob, who always got spontaneous orders, was surprised to see Alvin in deep thoughts. Harper was on their list solely because of Anya. They didn\'t have any personal grudge so Rob guessed he was thinking of the ungrateful lady who ran away from Alvin.

Of course, Rob wouldn\'t let his emotions affect his work. So he never showed his dissatisfaction with the lady to Alvin or Anya.

After much consideration, Alvin made his decision, "She will handle them." He will watch her play, at the same time, he will make sure Johnson doesn\'t put her life in danger. He commanded, "Keep an eye on them." That way, he could help her when needed. He was satisfied with his decision.

Rob understood Alvin\'s intention. He reported another thing, "Some people tried to get information about Yacht Queen and its location. We are looking into it." There were two sets of people and his guess was Johnson and Matthews.

He could understand the Matthews but the Johnsons?

Why will Johnsons check about the Yacht Queen?

Rob and Alvin suddenly looked at each other. Both guessed that Harper will try to flee from the sea route as soon as he bailed out of the prison.

Alvin immediately commanded, "Don\'t let him escape." He merely wanted Anya to deal with Harper without the effort of flying from country to country.

He wouldn\'t mind flying with her around the world but it would be exhausting for her to work.

"Yes, Boss," Rob responded hiding his amusement, this was the boss he knew, Quick-witted.

Rob went to the next question, "Boss, today\'s schedule?"

"We will go back in the afternoon," Alvin responded so that Rob could make the arrangements accordingly as Johnsons had their eyes on Anya and he had further provoked Matthews who will aim at Anya instead of him.

"Noted." Rob stepped back and left the mansion.

In a Rolls Royce, Capital city,

Secretary Harrison hesitantly cleared his throat while sitting next to Casper who was busy with a project file. He felt his head throb  to report, "Chairman Matthews… the commanding officer Brown, of Coastal city or the cops who are in the investigation team, has no idea about the identity of the lady who is in charge of the case."

Casper\'s brows were knitted by hearing his secretary. It made no sense. How could the Commanding officer doesn\'t know his subordinate\'s identity? He turned to his secretary and gave him a death glare.

Secretary Harrison continued. "Everyone just knows her second name - Owen." And he was cent percent sure it was Anya Owen.

He didn\'t believe in the coincidence of Alvin liking two women having the same family name. A

Casper\'s face was dark hearing his secretary. He couldn\'t believe the cowardly girl who ran away from the city had grown brave enough to put Harper like a businessman behind the bars.

Casper never saw any women strong and brave without a strong family background so, he assumes Anya was capable of it due to Alvin by her side.

Well, a hint of his assumption was true.

A question remained, \'If she is a cop, why was she working as Bernard\'s assistant general secretary?\'

Meanwhile, the PA who was on the shotgun seat of the car typed a message to Gianna. [The woman who was with the Bastard in the coastal city is Anya Owen.] He was certain before the confirmation.

Casper noticed his PA\'s actions but ignored him, just like every time. He instructed his secretary, "Stay away from her."

Although he assumed Anya\'s bravery was because of Alvin beside her, it would be stupidity to get to her hands as she could use the law against him.

However, "Find the father of her son." He didn\'t assume the little boy was Alvin\'s son. As per the reports he got, Alvin was still sleeping around in different countries until a month ago.

Since Anya was the lead officer, would Harper blurt out about their call conversation?

Casper was infuriated as the situation wasn\'t under his control. There were so many questions but no one to answer.

In Alvin\'s room,

Alvin stepped out of the bathroom in a bathrobe when he saw Little Brat sitting on the armchair at his comfort.

Alvin wondered if it was his imagination or Little Brat had such a vibe. Wherever Little Brat stays, Alvin always felt like the place belonged to Little Brat. His fearless, confident, and know-what-I-am-doing attitude was impressive.

Zane jumped off the chair and went up to Alvin when he noticed him, "Mr. Matthews, Mommy asked me to bring you for breakfast. Could you get ready quickly? Mommy will be waiting for us." His height and his baby voice never miss reminding Alvin that Zane was still a kid.

Alvin held Zane\'s arm and made him stand on the bed. "Zane Owen, let\'s have a man-to-man conversation."

Zane\'s frowns vanished hearing Alvin. \'Man to man conversation?\' He heard it for the first time. He pondered for a few seconds, "Like Girls\' talk?" Krystle and Anya numerous times have conversations without including him or asking him to play alone.

Alvin didn\'t respond to it. He crossed his arms and dictated to the little man, "You aren\'t allowed to go with any man who might call himself your father."

Zane, who would have frowned at the topic of father, flashed a knowing smile, "Mr, Matthews, I don\'t need him." He just wants his mother. He shrugged and leaped off the bed.

Alvin: "…"

Now he understood why Anya was in fits of laughter when he said he would indoctrinate Zane Owen. The latter looked confident enough to debut with anybody if they asked him to go with his father.

Zane looked at Alvin who was staring at him. He sighed like an adult who was tired of repeating the same thing. He pointed at the wardrobe, "Mr. Matthews, please get ready soon." He requested.

Alvin realized the little gentleman was following his mother\'s every word. Since she said to bring him for breakfast, he was waiting for him.

Shaking his head in mind, Alvin unawarely obliged the little man and swiftly got ready with a pair of leisurewear.

Anya almost tripped when she saw Alvin and Zane alighting steps. Both were in sweatshirts, trousers, and lazy hair, looking suave. The color was different but appeared like twinning.

Alvin flicked his fingers in front of her face before taking the seat. Zane was already sitting so Anya sat down at the chair she was standing at.

Alvin, who was at the head of the seat, poured warm milk into two glasses as Anya\'s hand couldn\'t reach Zane\'s glass. Anya just enjoyed her world, imagining living as a family of three.

Zane, who didn\'t know she was lost in her world, smiled at her seeing her smile. Whereas Alvin, who knew she was just physically present, almost smacked her.

He controlled in time due to a pair of eyes glued on him as soon as he lifted his hand.

\'Little Bodyguard is on duty.\'

He flicked his finger in front of her face and questioned calmly, "Why are you in a daze?"

Anya had goosebumps hearing the tender soothing voice. \'Who is this man?\'

Alvin would have snapped at her or asked sarcastically if she hit her head somewhere. What\'s with the sudden change?

Her eyes landed on Zane and realized who is the devil tamer. Of course, the devil\'s son. She quickly suffocated her smile and shook her head at Alvin.

Alvin: "…"

He imagined how her silly adorable smile was soon going to be replaced with coldness.

At the police agency, after an hour,

Anya looked at the two men in front of her like she was watching two aliens who were dropped from another planet. Her lips were straight, steely gray eyes cold as ice. Her expression warned the people to be cautious.

Captain David who was standing at the side of her table found it hard to stand emotionlessly while looking at the advocate and secretary of President Johnson wipe their sweat repeatedly.

Harper\'s secretary was standing emotionlessly while the other two members from the legal team who had waited for Anya the whole afternoon of the previous day glared at her.

Anya couldn\'t believe they dared to use a medical report for bailing out Harper Johnson for attacking her. Unfortunately, the court had even permitted it.

"That\'s it?" She unemotionally asked after a minute of silence.

"Yes?" The advocate asked without knowing what she meant by that.

Unamused, "Your lies. Are there more?" Despite questioning, she looked uninterested.

The advocate stood up with a frown, "Officer Owen, you know better than me you can\'t accuse us without proof."

Anya snickered at the advocate who went into defending mode to hide his lie and anxiousness, "Alright!" She leaned back on the chair and pointed out of her office, "Go and complete the bailing out process."

What else could she do when the court and law are blind?

Captain David sighed, despite knowing they had no choice, he had hoped for her to do something more. Meanwhile, others were happy. They quickly scurried away to leave.
