"Zack what are you doing here?" Disha heard Killian said and her excitement died down immediately.
She turned to see Zack standing by the door.
"I was just checking round the house, to make sure everyone's safe" Zack said, faking a smile.
"You don't have to smile if you don't want to. why are you faking it?" Disha wondered in disapproval.
Can't Killian just see this man is fake!
"Ohh" Killian smiled. "You impress me a lot Zack and i have something big for you. Just wait for it"
"Thanks so much Mr Killian but it's my duty to ensure everyone's safe, i don't need to be rewarded for it" Zack said calmly,winning Killian's heart the more.
"You're a good person Zack and im really lucky to have you around" Killian said and Disha growled inwardly.
"Thank you Mr Killian" Zack said.
"Wait for what I'm gonna give you. It'll be soon" Killian said.
"Okay Mr Killian. Thanks" Zack smiled before walking away.
Disha sighed, disturbed by what Killian has for Zack.
It's definitely a huge thing and she's so bothered someone like Zack is gonna get it.
He doesn't deserve it, she just hope Killian realises soon.
"Zack is such a great guy" Killian said.
"Uh? Of course" Disha said.
"Thanks so much Mr Killian, I'm..im I'm speechless" Disha said still staring at the novels.
"They are way too much. You must have spent a lot" Disha said, almost forgetting he's a billionaire.
"It's nothing." Killian shrugged.
"I'm surprised you could do this" Disha said.
"Why not? I don't want you bored" Killian said.
"H..how did you know my favorite author was Lynne Graham?" Disha asked, knowing she has never discussed that with him.
"Well..i have my way of knowing things" Killian said.
"Really?"
"Yeah, you shouldn't be bothered by that. Check out your novels,I'll be by the fireplace" Killian said.
"Ohh.. okay. Thanks so much" Disha grinned.
"I'll be going home tomorrow morning!" Disha thought excitedly.
She really missed Lucien and her mum.
She was done with her morning routine,she stood in front of the mirror and pull a hairband on her hair.
Now she should go get Summer ready for school.

"Bye Sophia" Summer waved.
"Bye Summer, have a nice day" Sophia responded from the kitchen.
"You too" Summer said.
"Will be right back Sophia" Disha said.
"Okay Disha" Sophia said.
They walked out of the door and saw Zack and Tom standing by the car.
"Good morning" Tom said.
"Good morning Tom" Summer and Disha chorused.
"Zack, you only say good morning to me when my dad is around" Summer complained and Zack eyes widened.
"Oh..no, i was about saying good morning" He quickly defended.
"That's a lie! you didn't say good morning yesterday too" Summer said.
Wow!
Killian smiled, loving Summer more for being observant.
"Hey! Little mug! You shouldn't go about expecting greetings from older ones just because you think your father can buy the world!" Zack said inwardly, wishing he can spit it out.
He so much wish he can deal with the spoilt brat.
"No one said good morning yesterday" Zack said grimly and Disha immediately noticed that look in his eyes.
This guy is so deceptive!
"You just joined us and you should greet us first and introduce yourself but you did none of that" Summer said.
"Well...yesterday is gone isn't it?" Zack said smiling,when all he wished was to snap the little girl's neck.
"You'll be the one to always open the car door, Tom will do the job of taking me to class" Summer said.
"Huh?" Zack asked in hidden contempt.
"Tom does all that when you weren't even here, he should take a rest too" Summer said.
"Ofcourse" Zack said tightly.
She really deserved all Lizzy did to her!
He wish he can do more.
"If you're not comfortable with it , you should lay your complaints to my dad" Summer said.
"Of course your dumb father will always support you!" Zack thought.
"No need for that...I'm comfortable with it" Zack said and glanced at Disha.
She had a mockery look on.
Damn!
Not only her, but Tom too!
"Fuck y'all" He thought in rage.
"Summer, you're running late" Disha said.
"Zack, the door" Summer reminded and he opened the car door.
They sat in the backseat while Zack took the front.
"Good morning" Eric greeted as he started the car.
"Good morning Eric" Summer and Disha chorused.
After some minutes, they finally got to school. And just as Summer instructed, Zack opened the door while Tom took her to the class.
Different thoughts were running through Disha and Tom's mind.
Each were thinking of how to find out who Zack really is.
Tom came out afterwards and the all got into the car and drove off.
"You look so excited cause you're going home tomorrow" Sophia said.
"Yes, i really miss my brother and my mum" Disha smiled, eating at the breakfast bar in the kitchen.
Sophia sat beside her sipping a pineapple juice. She had her breakfast already.
"Anyone who sees how excited you are now would think you're not happy here and that's why you're so excited to go home" Sophia said.
"Nah! I'm more than happy here everyone's treating me right but you know, I've never being separated from my family, this'll be the first time and I'm missing them badly already, I can't wait to see them" Disha said emptying the whole tea in her mouth.
"I once felt that way too, when Ally was first taken to Spain. I do miss her badly and sometimes i cry secretly" Sophia said.
"Really?" Disha asked.
"Yes, when you're always with someone or something and it's suddenly taken away from you, you'll feel the absence" Sophia said.
"Exactly!" Disha said.
"Make sure you prepare Summer for the weekend before you leave tomorrow morning. Do everything you should tonight and you can return by Sunday evening or Monday morning. I know you'll want to return by Monday morning though, you've obviously missed your family" Sophia said and Disha chuckled.
"So, on Monday morning,you know you have to be very early" Sophia said.
"Of course i do. Thanks Sophia"
"For what?" Sophia asked.
"For being so nice to me...fo..for everything" Disha said.
"Com'on Disha, you've been nice to me too" Sophia said.
"Well i should be thankful. Not everyone can be this hospitable. You treated me like a family right from when i resumed" Disha said.
"And what brought about all this talk?" Sophia furrowed her brow playfully and Disha laughed.
"Tell me something more interesting girl!" Sophia said.
"Okay!" Disha sighed.
"Mr Killian bought lots of novels for me!" Disha said.
"Wow! Really?"
"Yes, that was last night and i was so happy. The novels were my favorite genre and the author was also my favorite" Disha said excitedly.
She couldn't wait to be done with breakfast and go resume those novels.
She read three of them last night before she went to bed.
She couldn't wait to read more today.
"You were surprised right?" Sophia smiled.
"Yeah, it was close to shock cause i couldn't even believe it at first" Disha said.
"You shouldn't be, Killian is so generous, everyone knows that" Sophia said.
"Yeah he is"
"You must have told him your favorite genre and author" Sophia said.
"I did told him my favorite genre but i don't know how he found out my favorite author" Disha said.
"Really?"
"Yeah cause asides from my family and...my diary, no one else knows my favorite author"
"You might have mentioned it without even knowing" Sophia said.
"You think so?" Disha asked.
"Yes" Sophia said and Disha shrugged.
She stood up and placed the dishes in the dishwasher.
"Novels...i don't just find them interesting" Sophia said.
"But you definitely find cooking interesting" Disha said.
"Of course" Sophia smiled.
"That's it!, everyone sure has different interests. How i wish you find reading interesting though,we would have read in the library together whenever we're not cooking" Disha said.
"Of course i can still be in the library with you" Sophia said.
"Really?"
"Yes, drumming and singing for you while you read" Sophia teased and Disha bursted out laughing.
Aiden Greenwood residence

"Aiden! You can't hurt my daughter! You can choose to hurt anyone but not my daughter!" Diane sparked up.
"You were here when Zack called me your little brat is making life difficult for him!" Aiden said.
"And so? You wanna hurt her because of that? " Diane asked.
"But you know if she continues to make Zack uncomfortable,then he'll want to quit! And he's the only spy we have in that house!" Aiden half yelled.
"Well...he's not the only spy we have in that house" Diane said dropping her cigarette.
"Huh?" Aiden asked.
"Yes, i have a spy too. She has been working for Killian even before i got married to him" Diane said.
"How come you never told me!" Aiden asked.
"Cause i wasn't making use of her until recently" Diane adjusted her hair clip.
"Ohh, great! She goes by the name?" Aiden asked.
"You'll know when she gets here" Diane smiled.
"Wow! So we now have two spies. We should introduce them to each other" Aiden smiled.
"Of course, she's on her way here now. Place a call across Zack to be here too" Diane said.
"I'll do that now" Aiden said.
"So, our next plan?" Diane asked.
"I still can't believe Killian rejected you that day. No man in his right senses would do that" Aiden said and Diane burned with rage.
She's still so pissed she got embarrassed and rejected! She never expected that to happen.
"He's gonna pay for what he did" Diane said puffing out smoke from her cigarette.
"Of course he will"
"So, next plan?" Diane asked.
"It will be better to discuss it when our spies are here"
"Yeah but remember. Do not touch my daughter" Diane warned.
"Okayyyy" Aiden drawled.
"Disha come to the library after dinner, i have some things to tell you" Killian said.
"Okay Mr Killian" Disha said, her whole mind growing curious.
They were having their dinner.
"So you're leaving tomorrow" Summer sulk.
"Summer! How many times are you gonna ask that. Don't you want her to be with her family " Killian asked.
"Summer, com'on it's not like I'll be gone forever" Disha smiled.
"And i promise to bring your sweater along on Monday morning" she added and Summer's face lit up.
"Yaaaaay" She giggled and Disha smiled.
She already prepared Summer for the weekend, her homework has been done, her school bag arranged properly, her outfits hanged...
"Thanks Disha and you should help me thank your mum too and say hi to your brother for me" Summer said.
"Okay" Disha said.
"More meatballs" Summer grinned and Disha laughed when she saw the surprise look on Killian's face.
"The FBI agents got back to me today " Killian said and Disha looked on curiously.
They were seated opposite each other in the library and for once the fireplace wasn't lit.
"The bullet was examined but it doesn't even have a source, that means the gun used was not licensed" Killian said.
"Wow! That's another crime" Disha said.
"Of course" Killian said. "And the CCTV footage in that street was hacked into, everything that happened by that time was cleared."
"What!" Disha exclaimed.
"Yes but trust our FBI agents, they restored the footage and got the shooter's face even if it isn't so clear" Killian said .
"Thanks goodness" Disha sighed in relief.
Killian brought out his phone and clicked on the picture the agents sent to him.
"Here's the man" He showed Disha.
"What!" Disha exclaimed in shock.
