Chapter 36:
.
Elliot ended up in front of a huge golden gate. Parking his car on one side, he headed inside the school gate. Since he did not know the location of the Manor, he thought he would look for it himself or ask one of the kids for it. There was a yellow building on his right and a huge field on his left. He looked ahead and saw that there was a narrow path with a blue building on its right and a flower garden on its left. The garden was located just beyond the field. It had three thick rows of three different colored flowers; red, pink and blue.
"Maybe it leads to the manor," Elliot said to himself, "Why else would there be a narrow path here?" he shrugged before heading that way.
He stopped in front of the door at the head of the narrow pathway.Grimacing, he looked around and then thought he could climb over the garden fence to reach the manor. Grinning at his smartness, he crossed the garden boundary and started walking between the rows of bluebells to go to the other side of the garden. He had almost reached the far corner, when he stumbled and fell. It seemed that due to rain there were some soft patches on the land. When Elliot fell, his hand landed on one of those soft patches and his hand buried itself in the mud.
"Ugh...this day sucks," Elliot moaned shaking his head in disgust. He tried to stand up, but then he realized that his hand was really stuck in the mud. He wiggled his fingers and felt something against his fingers. Curiously he wiggled his fingers some more. He got hold of the thing, and then with a mighty tug, he freed his hand. When his hand became free, Elliot paled. He was holding the skeleton of a human hand. The terror-filled scream that tore through his mouth echoed across the night sky.
Caleb was in his office in the dorm when he heard the scream. His super hearing helped. Frowning, he closed his laptop and headed in the direction the scream came from. He was surprised when he found himself in the bluebell garden. No one was allowed to come here. Every student in the school knew that entering this garden would result in severe punishment. Even Bill, the rule breaker, avoided this garden. Narrowing his eyes, he entered the garden and switched on the torch. He was surprised to find Elliot on the ground, looking terrified. "Mr. Elliot? You...what are doing here?" he asked as he hurriedly approached the man.
"Ca..Caleb? T-thank god... I- I was going to the manor when I fell. I found that in a hole where my hand got stuck," Elliot replied in a trembling voice as he pointed at the skeleton hand.
Caleb glanced sideways at the bones with a peculiar look on his face. "Don't worry. That's just a scare tactic to keep the students away. This garden is a forbidden zone for them," Caleb stated blandly.
"Th-that's not real?" Elliot asked, almost relieved.
"No. Halloween is in a few weeks, so I put the fake bones here. It seems the rain made the soil soft and these bones went down," Caleb shrugged nonchalantly.
"Good lord! It scared the hell out of me," Elliot snickered, before wincing due to the bruises on his face.
"Did you hit your face hard? You're all bruised up," Caleb asked as he helped Elliot up and out of the garden.
"Kate and I had a fight," Elliot winced.
"Literally, I see," Caleb raised his eyebrow at the older man.
"Can you please take me to the manor? Chris and Ana might be waiting," Elliot did not want to talk about his bruises any more, especially to a teen.
Nodding, Caleb helped Elliot outside the garden. "Wait here. I need to...uh...hide those bones first," he went back inside the garden. Other than him, no one knew that there was a body buried in this garden. He had lied to Elliot that it was fake, so that he wouldn't bother about it. 'After all, it's not normal to have dead bodies buried in a garden, now is it?' Caleb thought, amused.
Hurriedly reburying the hand, Caleb returned to Elliot, who was trying to clean his clothes that were dirty with mud. "You brought your car, right?" Caleb asked.
"Yeah. I parked outside," Elliot replied.
"Let's get you to the manor then. Why are you in the school area, anyway?" Caleb asked curiously.
"I forgot to ask for direction from that security guard and my phone broke today, so I couldn't call Chris for directions either," Elliot shrugged.
Caleb climbed into the passenger side after promising that he would get someone to clean Elliot's car, and guided Elliot to the manor. He parked the car in front of the manor and was awestruck by the beauty of the manor. "This is beautiful. Do you know who were the designers and constructors of this place?" he asked Caleb.
"It happened before we were adopted, and I never asked," Caleb replied with a shrug. Even though he knew who built this place, there was no way he would ever tell that to Elliot. A lot of unwanted questions would have arisen from that information.
They entered the manor where the children were returning to their rooms as they had just finished their dinner. Christian and Ana had sat with the kids at the table while they ate to give them company as they had been away for close to 3 days. Noticing Elliot bruised and dirty, Ana and Christian rushed towards him. "What happened?" Christian asked worriedly.
"I found him in my bluebell garden," Caleb informed, giving Ana a meaningful look. Christian saw their exchange but did not comment on it.
"We'll talk about that later. Dude, this place is amazing. Ana, who designed this place and who was the constructor. I might have to hire them sometime," Elliot asked grinning.
"Um...I think you need to change and ice that face of yours before we can start our dinner. Christian, take him to one of the guest rooms and give him a change of clothes please," Ana changed the topic. Elliot was too busy appreciating the details of the manor to notice the diversion, but Christian noticed and understood why it was important to hide who made this place. The school area had been made with the help of architects and construction crews, but this manor had been built by Sebastian's powers.
Christian took Elliot to one of the guest rooms on the fifth floor. He did not want his brother to see Andrea yet, who was on the third floor. He sat on the bed waiting for Elliot, while he took a shower and changed into a pair of jeans and T-shirt that Christian gave him. He washed his face carefully, not wanting to irritate the skin more than necessary. He came out of the bathroom rubbing his wet hair with a towel. Noticing the frown on his younger brother's face, Elliot took a seat beside him on the bed.
"How did that happen?" Christian asked, pointing to his bruised up face as he handed his brother the ice pack.
"Kate...she threw a vase at me. I wasn't able to move fast enough," Elliot sighed.
"I hope to God that you called dad and asked him to take action against her," Christian spit out angrily. "Shit, man! Come with me." He led Elliot to the music room where a table for four was set with candles and lovely flower arrangements in the room. "Take a seat. I'm going to get you some more ice," Christian instructed before heading out.
Elliot looked around and observed the arrangements, wondering why there were four seats instead of three. He shrugged and went on looking around the music room as he iced his face. Christian and Ana came back, carrying another ice pack.
"Oh Elliot! It's really bad!" Ana cooed sadly looking at his face.
"Here," Christian handed him the ice pack.
"You should get a doctor to check it out," Ana suggested. "That freaking bitch! If I meet her after this, I have no idea what I'll do with her," she hissed angrily.
"Aww," Elliot wrapped his arms around Ana and hugged her. "Thanks sis," he whispered. "Can we eat first though? I'm really hungry," he whined rubbing his belly.
"Take a seat, you two. I'll call for the food. By the way, someone else is also joining us for dinner," Ana informed.
"Who?" Elliot inquired curiously.
"You'll see," Christian shrugged sitting down.
Ana returned a few minutes later with Andrea, followed by Anthony and two waiters. Elliot gasped in surprise at seeing Andrea. This was the first time he was seeing her since that night. He had forgotten how beautiful she looked. She was wearing an ivory color patchwork lace chiffon 3/4 sleeve dress with matching lace ballet flats. Her face was makeup free and her hair was flowing down her back. Elliot felt like he was seeing an angel.
Andrea had not seen Elliot yet. She and Ana were talking about the new kids in the manor. Elliot's gasp made her turn her head and she felt her eyes widen in panic. "E-Elliot! What happened to your face?" she blurted out.
"Hey, beautiful," Elliot offered her a boyish smile. "It's nice to see you too," he teased.
"Oh...um..I..." Andrea started stammering nervously.
"Take a seat," Ana pushed her best friend to the seat next to Elliot before sitting on the chair beside Christian which he had pulled out for her. He pushed the chair in and sat down. "Elliot is here because the house we're buying needs some work and we want Elliot to do it," Ana informed Andrea.
"And I heard you both have some issues to talk about. That's why Andrea is here," Christian added. "You had sex with my assistant and did not even call her? Seriously, Lelliot?" Christian scowled at his brother.
"Whoa! You know about that?" Elliot was surprised.
"Hard not to know when one's assistant is their wife's best friend," Christian replied dryly, as he opened the bottle of wine. He poured the wine in his glass and in Elliot's glass but did not serve the girls.
"I...would need some of that...to go through tonight," Andrea muttered blushing as she pointed at the wine.
"You might be pregnant with my niece or nephew. I'm not serving you wine," Christian stated incredulously. "And if you're pregnant, and my brother is not man enough to accept that fact, then you'll stay will us and follow Ana's pregnancy diet. You won't be alone through this, I assure you," Christian said passionately; after all, Ana's friend's were the closest thing he'd have as sisters and brothers in-law.
"I'm sorry...pregnant?" Elliot interrupted, shocked as hell.
"That's what happens when you don't use protection," Andrea muttered. "You don't have to take any responsibility or anything. If I'm pregnant, I'm quite capable of taking care of a child," she added as tears started rolling down her face.
"I think you two should have a conversation alone. Christian, let's tuck the children in and check on Tom. You two can stay here and talk till then," Ana offered as she got up from the table and pulled Christian out of the room. "Did you really have to blurt it out like that? It was NOT your news to give," she scolded her husband who had a stubborn look on his face.
"But.." Christian started to protest.
"Don't say another word, Mister! You've caused enough trouble for now. Let's go," Ana dragged a reluctant Christian from the fifth floor. He really wanted to know what they his brother and Assistant/sister-in-law were talking about.
.
"So...is it true? Are you pregnant?" Elliot asked softly as he rested his hand over hers and squeezed slightly.
"I...I don't know...I'm late for my...I did not take a test yet," Andrea answered sniffing.
"I think we should take the test first, before we decide how to proceed?" Elliot suggested softly. Andrea thought about it and nodded hesitantly.
"Is there a pharmacy here where we can buy the tests from?" Elliot inquired.
"Pharmacy ...no...But Dr. Hogan might have some," Andrea answered. "Let me text Ana. She'll ask Dr. Hogan to send a test," she added as she started typing out the message.
Elliot nodded in understanding. He pressed the ice pack on his face again as they waited for Ana's reply. A minute later, the replied arrived. Ana informed that Christian and she would return with the test in a while. "So...why did you run away that night?" Elliot inquired.
Andrea blushed and she started fiddling her hands nervously. "You are my boss's brother and have a girlfriend," she shrugged.
"Had… I had a girlfriend. These bruises are the evidence," Elliot point at his bruised up face.
"W-What happen...if you don't mind me asking?"
"You were there, right? When Kate insulted Ana's ancestor's jewelry?"
"Yeah. She was really rude," Andrea replied sadly as she recalled Ana's fallen expression. "Ana really loves her ancestors and anything related to them. She was deeply hurt by Kate's insult."
"Yeah well...when Christian invited me tonight for dinner, he asked me not to bring her along. I didn't want to do that either. I was also hurt by her behavior that day. When she learned that I was having dinner with Christian and Ana, she insisted on coming along. When I didn't agree to it, she started screaming and breaking things. I had had enough of her shit by then, so I told her to get out of my house and that we were over, that's when she threw the vase at me. I wasn't fast enough to move out of its way and ended up getting it on my face. When she realized what she had done, she ran away. I called the police and my dad. He came and took me to the police station, where we filed an assault case against her and applied for a restraining order. I'm also suing her for it," Elliot informed.
"That evil woman!" Andrea hissed angrily. "Ana told me how she would hound her for an interview about the school. I never thought she would drop to this level," she shook her head in disgust.
"She didn't seem crazy in the beginning," he shrugged helplessly.
Ana and Christian returned a few minutes later with three pregnancy tests. Ana handed Andrea the packet and pointed at the bathroom. After she was done with the test, Andrea came out and looked like she would faint. "Andy, did you have the food I left you at lunch?" Ana asked glaring. Giving her a sheepish smile, Andrea shook her head. "Come here. We'll finish our dinner first, and then we will take a look at those tests sticks," Ana informed sternly.
"Yeah...I'm really hungry. I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast," Elliot moaned.
Ana nodded at the waiters and they started serving. Each of them was served pasta and Chianti braised beef along with mixed vegetable curry with cheese. The men had their wine glasses refilled. Once they were done with their main course, they were served large pieces of honeycomb cherry cake. By the time they were done with dinner, they had satisfied and full stomachs. Andrea went to the bathroom to get the test sticks, as the waiters cleaned up the table.
A few minutes later, Andrea came out with tears in her eyes. "Andy, show us?" Ana urged softly.
Nodding jerkily, Andrea takes her seat and placed the sticks on the table. All three of the test stick said positive in three different ways. "I'm pregnant," she whispered.
Ana wrapped her arms around her best friend and held on to her. Elliot stared silently at the sticks before he got up from his chair and knelt beside Andrea. "Andrea? Look at me! You'll be okay. We...will be okay. We'll raise this baby and we will have all the support we need to do that. My parents will be really happy to have another grandchild to dote on. Christian and Mia will spoil our child rotten. I promise you that," he said reverently.
"Elliot is right, Andrea. You know my parents since childhood. They consider you one of their own and they'll be really happy for you and this baby. And you know our friends, right? We will be with you at every step of this phase. Don't cry, please," Ana cooed at her best friend.
"Andrea, you'll even have support in office," Christian started, "I promise not to overwork you and I'll make sure you have plenty of help. Ros and I will look after you in office," he assured.
"Th-thank you so much," Andrea sobbed, overwhelmed.

Half an hour later, they retreated to the couch in the room. The table and chairs were removed and the house plans were brought in. Two hours ago, Gia had called to inform them that the recent owner of the house would be moving out the next week and the house was theirs now. The owner was happy with the price, as Christian and Ana had offered him more than he had asked for in exchange for him to move fast. Gia had emailed the floor plans of the house which Christian had printed out to show Elliot. Ana had taken pictures of the house and printed them out to make him understand better.
"I want you to change only one thing in the kitchen," Ana informed Elliot as she handed him the picture of the kitchen. "I want dark sparkly granite countertops. It'll look great with the all-white kitchen," she added.
"The floors of the whole house need to be changed," Christian informed.
"It seems this house has white oak hardwood floors. Do you want something darker like cherry hardwood or dark walnut hardwood?" Elliot inquired looking through the pictures of the floors.
"Nope. I want marble tile floors," Ana said.
"I think the basement should be carpeted though, since it'll be the game room and entertainment room. It will need a bar and half bathroom with color changes, " Christian added.
"Sounds logical," Ana nodded in agreement.
"The whole basement will be an entertainment room/game room?" Elliot inquired.
"No. We want a panic room down there as well. It should have a secret passage way and should be big enough to have a full bath, a small full kitchen, lots of storage and one or two huge rooms to sleep," Ana informed.
"Doable," Elliot nodded. "I'll have some designs ready for the panic room soon. Why don't we discuss the other things you'd like me to change?"
"We want three bedrooms and a gym in the attic. Also one ¾ bath with the gym, one full bath for two rooms to share and the ¾ bath for the other room," Christian informed.
"Hmm…I'll need to check the base of the flooring in the attic first. Might need to change it with something stronger," Elliot nodded to himself as he looked through the attic pictures.
By the time everything was said and discussed about the new house, it was close to midnight. Ana invited Elliot to stay the night. Since Andrea was also staying for the night, Elliot thought it was a good idea for them to chat some more to get to know each other better. After all, they were having a baby together. Christian lent his brother some pajama bottoms and another t-shirt to sleep in before he and Ana retired for the night.
Elliot and Andrea talked for more than 2 hours before she went to bed. The day had been filled with unexpected surprises for Elliot and he felt overwhelmed. He wanted a drink badly. He thought about waking Christian up to ask him to join him but Ana might get disturbed as well if he tried to wake his brother up. So, he decided to go downstairs in search of the bar.
Reaching downstairs, Elliot turned his phone light on and searched for the kitchen. After roaming around and searching for a bar for a few minutes, he found the kitchen.
"How come this house doesn't have any alcohol?" he grumbled as he gave up on finding a bar and opened the fridge for cold water. He didn't notice that a pair of narrow, slitted eyes were following his movements. He pulled out a water bottle and took a drink from it when he noticed something black on the top of the fridge. Elliot gasped, startled as he dropped the bottle. Instantly that figure jumped on Elliot. The scream that tore through him, woke up almost half of the manor.
Minutes later, the lights were turned on as Christian, Ana, Andrea, Anthony, a few other servants, and some of the kids came running to the kitchen.
"What happened, Elliot?" Ana asked panicked.
"So-something jumped on me," He informed gasping for air.
"What jumped on you? There's nothing here," Christian pointed out, looking around.
"It went under the fridge as soon as the lights came on," Elliot replied.
"Under the fridge?" Christian frowned before he knelt down and peeked under said fridge. He was surprised to find a pair of golden slitted eyes staring back at him.
"What is it?" Ana asked impatiently from behind. She would've knelt down herself, but with her growing belly it was kind of a hard task.
"It's a ...cat...I think," Christian muttered.
"Cat? You screamed because of a CAT?" Andrea asked Elliot who was scratching his head sheepishly.
"It jumped on me so suddenly that I freaked out," Elliot replied with a grimace.
Ana giggled and asked her husband, "What color cat is it?"
Christian turned to look at her with utter disbelief. "Does it matter? It's a cat," he replied dryly.
"Just answer," Ana urged with a smirk.
"A black one," Christian replied after using the flashlight to see.
"Shadow, sweetie? Is that you?" Ana questioned.
Christian noticed that the cat's ears twitched at Ana's voice. Slowly its eyes turned to its normal round shape. Christian stood up to stand beside Ana as the cat slowly crawled out from under the fridge.
Ana bent her knees a little and the cat jumped into her arms. Cradling the cat like a baby in her arms, she started cooing at it. "Why are you here, Shadow? Daddy must be so worried for you?" The cat purred as it rubbed its head under Ana's chin. Seeing that it was not a serious matter the children went back to their room as well as the servants. Only Anthony stayed with them.
"I never saw this cat before. Whose cat is it?" Christian asked.
"Meet Shadow. She's Sebastian's cat. She usually stays in his room at the teacher's quarter. She visits the males here sometimes," Ana informed with a smirk.
"Males...the other two cats?" Christian inquired with a smirk.
"Yup."
"Why did it jump on me?" Elliot asked, pouting.
"She doesn't know you and thought you were an intruder, that's why," Ana explained with a snicker.
"Furry little beast! Scared the shit out of me," Elliot grumbled.
"What are you doing down here anyway? I thought you went to sleep," Christian asked, a little annoyed.
"I wanted some beer before going to bed,"
"We don't keep any alcohol in this manor. There are lots of impressionable children here," Ana informed with a small smile. "And you should take some ibuprofen for your face or the pain will worsen tomorrow," she suggested.
"I'll walk you to your room," Andrea offered.
"I'll get the medication box up to your room, Mr. Elliot," Anthony informed. Nodding at Anthony, Elliot and Andrea left.
"I was scared hearing his scream," Christian sighed shaking his head, when a thought came to him. "Love, we were on the third floor. How did we hear Lelliot's scream? This manor is so huge, after all."
"Since there are lots of children, I had a special intercom system placed throughout the manor, so that I can hear if any of the kids is in distress, "Ana explained as she scratched the ear of the cat that was resting it's head against her neck with a sleepy expression on its face.
"So, Sebastian...a demon..has a cat?" Christian asked curiously.
"Please! This island was filled with cats before I took over," Ana shook her head. "If it was not for me, this island would've been called Kittyland," Ana rolled her eyes. "After a long argument, Sebastian was allowed to keep only two cats at one time. Shadow and Nili are his cats. The previous two died of old age," she informed.
"A demon loves cats, how cute!" he snickered shaking his head.

It had been 2 weeks since Elliot visited the island. Christian had been busy with a new merger to really focus on the house transformation. He was barely able to say 'hello' to the children at the manor all week as he had to work overtime at the office. The only time he was able to spend with his wife was in the morning. Ever since he got busy with work, Ana had been waking him early in the morning and they would spend an hour in the bed or tub together. After that, they would both get ready for the day and have breakfast with as many kids as they managed. So, Christian was a little surprised when his alarm rang at 6 am and woke him up, instead of Ana waking him at 5. He sat up and glanced beside him where Ana was still sleeping. Christian knew that she had an important meeting today. Frowning at her still sleeping form, he shook her a little and called her loudly.
"Ana? Love, don't you have an important teachers' meeting today? Why aren't you up yet?" he inquired.
Instead of answering him like a normal person, Ana just huddled under the blanket some more, and said something that sounded like "go away."
"Um...okaaay...I'm going to take a shower," Christian informed hesitantly before leaving the bed. All through the shower, he kept waiting for his wife to join him or something but Ana did not come. Wrapping the towel around his waist, he came out and stood at the doorway, staring at his still sleeping wife. "What's happening?" he mumbled to himself. He stepped closer to her and called again, "Ana? Baby? You'll be late for your meeting, love."
"I'm so tired..." came the reply from under the pile of blankets.
Thinking that since his wife was now 17 weeks pregnant and worked just as hard as him, if not more, he decided to let her sleep some more. He got dressed and before leaving, he informed his wife of the time and that he was leaving for the day. He was just pulling away from her, when Ana shoot out her hand and grabbed his tie.
"Kiss," she demanded.
Christian obliged happily and almost got dragged into the bed. "I have to go, love," Christian laughed at her demanding kiss that turned into a full-fledged make out session. His hair was messed up and he had a few hickies on his neck. He managed to untangle himself from his wife with a smirk. "I'll see you in 12 hours, my demanding girl," he placed one last kiss on her head before leaving for office.
.
That evening, when Christian arrived home around 9 pm, he was tired as hell and just wanted to go to sleep cuddling with his wife. "Hey guys," he greeted the kids, before noticing that the P5 (Prefect five) were also in the manor which was unusual as they stayed in the dorms during school days. "Why are you guys not in your dorms? It's almost time for your curfew," he questioned curiously as he loosened his tie.
"Dad, mom didn't come to the school today. We were worried," Caleb informed hesitantly.
"What? Is she okay?" Christian panicked.
"Um..she's acting...weird," Bill stated wrinkling his nose as he played with his tongue piercing.
"What the hell is that?" Christian asked pointing at the black haired boy's tongue. As long as Christian knew till yesterday Bill only had one piercing on his right eyebrow, but his tongue piercing seemed to be a new development.
"You like it? I got this one this morning after my shoot," Bill said cheerfully. "This is my third one," he added with a nod.
Staring at the teen silently for a few second, Christian decided he wanted to know more about his supposedly 'weird acting' wife, instead of where else Bill had piercings. "What did you mean by acting weird?" he inquired.
"Daddy, you home," Hope squealed spotting her father. She handed him the glass of water and waited patiently as he gulped down the water thirstily.
Christian picked up his daughter and kissed her cheeks. "Hey angel! Where's mommy?' he asked.
"Mommy doing...something stlange in her loom. She did not leave at all today," Hope informed with wide eyes.
Christian started wondering what Ana could've been doing that the kids found strange. "I'll check on her. Boys, go back to your dorms. Goodnight. Bill, you too. Hope, did you have dinner yet? No? Okay… Let me take a shower and change first, then we can have dinner together. Gather everyone in the dining room who didn't have dinner yet, okay?"
As the kids agreed to his instructions, Christian headed to the master bedroom to find his wife.
He was a little surprised when he found his wife still in her rose gold satin-lace nightgown, cuddling against his pillow with her laptop. From the day he had met her, he had always seen her being busy with one thing or another. Ana usually led a very active life that kept her in shape. If she was not this active, she wouldn't have been able to look after more than a thousand children. So finding her still in bed was a little strange.
"Hey, love! How was your day?" Christian asked as he started removing his tie and suit.
"Hey! I'm good; warm and cozy. How was your day?" Ana asked, sitting up.
"I can't wait for this merger to get done. Ros will be back from her vacation in 2 days, so hopefully I won't have to work till late after that," he sighed as he sat on the bed to remove his shoes. "So, the kids seemed worried about you. They said you were doing something weird," he stated nonchalantly.
Ana laughed. "Yeah I took a break. These two babies are making me so tired since the last one week that most days it gets hard to keep my eyes open. So I just stayed in bed all day. The kids have never seen me do this before, other than that one time when we were apart. That's why they got worried, I think," she informed as she started unbuttoning his shirt from behind. Christian snickered as he recalled the reactions of the children a few minutes ago.
He shrugged off his shirt, toed off his shoes and lay back as Ana started working on removing his belt. He stared at his beautiful wife and sighed happily. She always managed to give him the peace he craved. "I will be back early tomorrow for the birthday party," he informed his wife.
"Really? That's great news!" Ana grinned, leaning over him to kiss his lips upside down. "I love you, baby."
"I love you too, my Ana," Christian whispered against her lips and deepened the kiss.
