Women are a treasure of every man.
Devin is still half-breathing because of the distance he and Devine ran, while their mother is still at the bottom of the stairs they climbed because she is still panting.
"Mama, we're here. Come here and hurry up please." Devin said that he was really excited about what game they were playing on the playground on the third floor.
"Why are these winding stairs so high? Maybe my tongue will hang out before I get to the top." Marriel said and tried to climb the high stairs.
If everyone is wondering why there are tall stairs here leading to the next floors, it's because that's also its style. And Owen has the plan. His class had just ended and now it was time for his children. His routine is open in the office.
"Mommy, are we leaving again tomorrow?" Maxine asked her mother, Marriel nodded at her daughter's question.
"Yes son, you're daddy has a rule and I have to follow that. Especially those rules about you and Devin." Marriel said, the two children were smiling.
"Mommy, can we play again in the playground outside your school?" Devin asked her mother.
"Not again, my love." Marriel said to her son.
"Why mommy? It's beautiful there, and I'm so amazed." Maxine said to her mother.
"No more asked, okay! It's delicate outside." It said.
The twins obey whenever he has an order here, Marriel always makes them feel how much he loves them. Although his parents did not guide him, the love and care of his uncle Thomas and Joysie was enough.
It's been almost a few years and he hasn't even been able to introduce the children to his family. As far as his uncle Thomas knows, he is already in another place and working as a parlor. But the truth is that she is a full time mom, and Owen is responsible for all her expenses.
Because Owen still knows his bank accounts and has access that does not require a valid ID. He has secret vaults where emergency money is kept.
There are moments when the guards wonder why someone else went there, apparently they didn't know Owen was dead. What they know is that Owen doesn't come around much anymore and they have no news of what happened here. Owen's account number was hard to remember, plus the password. That's why Rankin was immediately convinced that he was related to Owen and that money was intended for Owen's children. But now, Owen's parents know them. They won't use that money that was in the vault where Owen hid it.
It's good to still have some money left in that account. It's hard when the day of crisis comes, Marriel doesn't want to be complacent.
"Mommy, when are we going to go back to our old house? We miss the forest and we want to play there by the stream." Devin Max said to his mother.
"For now, we'll just stay here. I don't know when we'll be going home to our little mansion!" Marriel said to the two children, the children seem to understand this.
Marriel held the palms of the two children and kissed their backs. The two children turned around and showed surprise and concern on their faces.

The next day, Marriel took care early to go to school and so did her children. He will take it to his school. Since the school he went to was not strict, he included the children. Since Rankin was taking care of the DNA of Marriel, Owen, and his children, he went to the laboratory first with another doctor and Owen's parents.
"Hello, Marriel right?" Greetings from a man who will never forget the thread.
"Hi," Marriel replied sparingly to the man named Hector, Marriel couldn't stop her blood from boiling.
"Are you going to school? Do you want me to take you to school?" He said to her at the same time as he was about to support the children, but Marriel kept her children away from the dangerous Hector Miguel.
When he saw it for the first time, his blood was really hot. Especially now that the kids are out, Marriel feels like it's going to be even more dangerous because the twins are still weak.
"No need," said Marriel.
"We have service!" Marriel said here, and took the card that is shown when boarding the school bus.
"Are you not familiar, this is one of your school's special services. I borrowed it to take you!" Hector said to Marriel.
Marriel's vision darkened even more, and it was as if she wanted to hit Hector to stop him from his madness. However, he did not do that because he did not want to be rude in front of this animal.
"I'm sorry, but I have no intention of taking the special service. Because I didn't pay for a special car. I didn't pay anything but my tuition fee. So please, don't waste your money just to transport us. " Marriel said here.
He doesn't know how long he and Hector Miguel will stand together, because he doesn't seem to want to be honest and is still forcing him to ride the special service.
He thought of calling Rankin, because he felt that the bwesit Hector Miguel would never stop.
"Can you stop, we will only deliver to Rankin if you have really blocked the school service. There is nothing I can do, but please just leave because my friend Rankin might do something to you." Marriel said to the man in front of him.
"Why am I leaving?" Hector Miguel said.
"Because that's harassment you're doing! Don't you know that I can put you in jail for forcing me to get in that car of yours!" Marriel said annoyed, she pushed the children away and called Rankin, Rankin immediately answered. They were only inside the house because Hector Miguel was still outside.
"Hello Rankin?" Marriel said.
"Oh, why? Is there a problem there? Are you guys at school yet?" Rankin said.
"Not yet, we're still here at home! Hector is outside the house! We're being forced to ride the school bus. I let the kids in first, just in case what this bastard is going to do." Marriel said to Rankin.
"Oh come on, don't go out. I'm just going to tell Owen's parents. So they're aware." Rankin said. Later, Marriel heard the arrival of Rankin's car. He also said goodbye to school so that his professors wouldn't wonder why he wasn't there.
"Can you stop?" Rankin said outside.
"Oh, who are you?" Hector said.
"You're not there anymore!" Rankin said.
"Is that possible, I'm not leaving here. I'm Owen's best friend, and I'm the only one who can take care of those he left behind!" Hector said to Rankin.
"So," Rankin said philosophically here.
"If it's a best friend, I'm more than a best friend. Owen and I are better friends than you!" Rankin said here and there was a hint of shock in his voice.
"Stop whatever is going through your mind!" Rankin said.
Rankin was never stopping because he wanted to beat the hell out of this promiscuous man. Based on Owen's story with them, this person has a very snake-like attitude. You will be surprised one day, it has already stabbed you without your awareness.
He just heard the gate open, he didn't know how he convinced Hector to leave.
"Hello babies, are you all right?" The children said. They immediately hid behind Marriel. Because Marriel has a third eye, its true color did not escape her.
Owen and Rankin never called the children babies. When Owen is called by his whole name or nickname, when he is Rankin, he just calls him na. So let him think about who Hector Miguel really is? How does he manipulate people? How can he insult Owen's family face to face.
"Stop acting crazy! Stop it right now!" Owen shouted.
Marriel saw the real Owen or Rankin behind. It seems that I have been clarified, there is a tactic that Hector is doing so that I can see him as Rankin but the truth is Hector is really who he is in other people's eyes.
"Monsters!" Devin and Devine said to Hector.
It seems that he was overcome with shame and allowed them to have children. If it doesn't stop, Owen feels that at that moment his and Rankin's personalities will mix and it seems like they want Rankin to disappear from this world.

Because of what happened that day, the security was even tighter for Marriel and the twins and it is not yet clear what the outcome will be.
"Do you guys need anything else?" Marriel said to her children, Owen just looked on while Rankin slept peacefully. Rankin needs to sleep because tomorrow he will be guarding Marriel and the twins, but for now Owen's soul is the guard.
"Papa, dada, pumpkin, you can sleep with us!" Devin Max said to his father.
"Devin, papa can't sleep and I think that's the bad guy's fault. Do you remember his face, don't you dare to come with him." Devine Maxine said.
"Maxine was right, you need to be careful with all the people you talk to." Marriel said to her son. The twins were listening, Marriel only wished that they wouldn't be fooled by whatever Hector had to offer. Of course no matter what, Devin and Devine are still young. Hector, who is a strong hypnotist, can trick them.
"Remember this children, do not talk or look into the eyes of the person you are talking to. Because there are bad guys who will hypnotize you, you may not be able to control yourselves. Do you want to that's what happened to you?" Marriel said to her children.
"I don't want to!" Devine and Devin said.
"Listen to mom, don't be stubborn to stay away from—
Marriel hung up on what she was saying, so that she could guess if the children still knew what the next answer to her constant reminder would be.
"... Doom!" The twins shouted at the same time. He knows it's wrong to just judge, but it's worse if he doesn't take care of his offspring.
Owen just nodded at those moments with every word his children said. He didn't speak anymore and he just let the children follow their mother.
"My husband, we are sleeping. We will be early tomorrow!" Marriel said to Owen. Owen kissed Marriel on the cheek, Marriel blushed slightly because of what Owen did.
"Okay sleep now!" Owen said.
"Okay, let's sleep!" Marriel said to Owen.
**
The next day, everyone woke up early. This is the day they have been waiting for the most, this is the appointed time to find out if the children are really Owen's children. Because the two adults can also be sure if Owen is really the father of the children.
"This is the day we have been waiting for the most. Whatever the results of this exam are, we will accept them." Owen's mother said.
Later they revealed the DNA results.
Later, the elders returned a big smile to them.
