Mia sits on the bench reading her crime novels and spending time alone at the playgrounds. Arman is busy with his football practice on the field.

A group which we know and they call themself as 'The Spoiler Trash Mean Girls' led by Jo and her crew, Paris and Aleesha approaching Mia when they find out their crush 'The Gardener' had to do with her.

The rumor spread and they want the explanation why Mia can get closer to him and why not the group. Being friends with the gardener is an adult thing and not a child like Mia Luna Decker.

Ethan James a.k.a Victor Gibson is the most wanted man, Jo had a crush on him. They stood in front of Mia, she looked up from the book.

"Hello, little girl". said Jo. Smirking. "What are you doing little girl?"

Mia rolled her eyes. "Baking the muffin. You blind or what, don't you see?" She shows Jo the novels she read. "What do you want!"

"Harsh. Since you have been asking well, I want you to stay away from my man".

"What are you talking about, what man?"

Jo and her crew laugh. Mia looks confused, and she realizes something.

"Ooh, you mean the gardener, Mr. Ethan James, who you want me to stay away from because he is yours. So you claimed".

Snickering, "He didn't say anything about you being his or something special". Shrugged. "I'm just ten so I don't know how to flirt with him if you can teach me I'll be delighted". Smiling. "The rumor has spread, that is why you are here".

"Stop talking shit, little girl. If I say so, that means you should stay away from him or else you will regret it for the rest of your life".

"Threatening, huh. Tsk tsk tsk I could be a little slutty".

Clicking her tongue, Mia spoke again.

"So sad he didn't really say anything but I do know that he loves spending his time with me, so I am. He even follows me asking me whenever I go. I don't need his permission, he comes straight to me and we have a fun time together".

The word that came out from Mia's mouth made Jo lose her temper. Jo raises her arm trying to slap Mia's face.

Knowing that, Mia punched her nose first and she hit on the ground as her nose now is bleeding. Paris tries her luck but she drops on the grounds beside Jo.

Aleesha takes her turn after Paris. Mia reaches her long hair then drops her too on the ground. Smirking. No one couldn't beat Mia Luna Decker even though she was ten years old. She shares her strength with Wonder Woman.

"You bitch! Try to hurt me. I dare you!"

Paris and Aleesha grab Mia's arm but the girls drop down on their knees once again on the ground as Mia kicks on their legs.

Aleesha and Paris crying in pain. Jo once again attacked Mia and she suddenly felt a pair of strong arms stop her from doing that. Trying to resist the grip, Jo turns on her back where she sees a pair of red eyes of Gibson's on hers. He's the one who stops her.

"Mr..?"

"Get.. your.. filthy... dirty.. hand.. away.. from.. my daughter!" Gritting his teeth shoving her hand away from Mia. "I will tell the principal what you three are doing with Miss Decker and I was hoping she will expel you three from this school".

Jo blinked her eyes, did she hear wrong. "What did you say? 'Keep my hand away from your daughter'?

Gibson didn't answer, she spoke back.

"Is she your daughter? Since when, just because you both are getting closer together doesn't mean... Oh my god!"

Mia stares as Jo backs away from him. "You are a pervert! I am the one who should tell the principal that you touch this little cunt for your satisfaction".

"Watch your mouth you filthy whore slut!" He breathed heavily. "I will not touch my daughter because she is my daughter. My flesh and blood. I am her dad and you both can f* yourself together. GO! Or else you will regret what happened next".

Jo helps Paris and Aleesha to infirmary. He looks down at Mia whom she stuns after hearing this. Gently he reached her hand but Mia refused to be touched by him. He understands that meaning.

"Come, we see Mrs. Fillion in her infirmary". Mia shook no as she backed away from him. "Don't turn your back away from me young girl. Come and I am not gonna tell you twice. Now!"

Later. Belle bursting inside the principal's office, her finger exactly pointing out at the principal who stood in fear of Belle, behind her was Jake.

She didn't notice Gibson was there either. "I warned you before, Mrs. Principal!"

"Miss Decker please". Begging the principal. "This is not Mia's fault I promise. Truly. She didn't do anything wrong just above her grade. There were three and they were sent to infirmary for further treatment".

Belle blink, "And?" Gibson smiles as he watches his wife. "Why weren't you there when it happened?"

"Actually, Mr. James was there when it happened". Said the principal. Belle turned to him. "He saw what happened, Miss Decker".

Belle grit her teeth. Gibson spoke. "I don't know what would happen if I wasn't there to save Mia from those bullies".

"Mia can take care of herself, Mr. James, thank you for your concern about my daughter". His eyes to Jake. "She's fine without you there".

"Don't be ridiculous, Miss Belle". He said.

She suddenly feels goosebumps, she feels uncomfortable around him. It's been years since she's didn't heard someone calling her that.

"Those girls were there because of me. The principal just knew about this, those girls especially, Jo, whom she had a crush on me. I didn't respond to her love.

"They are just a bunch of teenage girls who liked bullies but in the wrong place".

Snorts, Belle spoke. "Really? That's odd. As for you, Mrs. Principal, what is your next move toward those bitches!"

"We take this matter seriously, Miss Decker".

Gibson eyes on Jake again, he speaks to Belle. "I just realized something. You're still married, why did you call yourself Miss Decker?"

"Was this important?"

He nodded. "He died. Even after he died you still carried his last name, include your children".

"That name didn't exist in my dictionary. I don't deserve to carry his last disgusting name on me. It's a burden!"

Gibson choke on. He spoke to Jake. "You remind someone I know. Have we met before?"

"Same as you". Said Jake. "You remind me of someone who used to kill me. But that guy is dead".

Gibson breathes heavily, he grips his fist tightly. Knowing who Jake was. "I'm Jake Harley".

"Ethan James. School gardener. Are you two on a date?"

Jake scratched the back of his head, nodded. "Actually yes. We are about to watch a movie until she gets the call".

"Movies during the day? I understand that, because she has kids. So there will be no late night walk". Smirking. "She said that to me when we bumped into each other at the store".

Jake nodded, playing with his own tongue. "Should you attack me".

"Why should I?"

"Because I believe who you are, Victor.. Gibson".

Gibson snickering, clearing throat.

"Your date said the same thing to me when we first met. No, I am not that guy". He lied. "If I were him I would have already killed you now for touching my wife".

Gibson means it. So you are growing now. Belle steps between them. "He is not him, Jake".

"Glad to hear he is not". From Jake's eyes, he couldn't trust this man. Gibson smiled at him. "I'm pretty sure you are hiding something from us, Mr. James?"

"Do I? Like what".

Jake couldn't answer that. "I will find out soon enough about you. I intend to married, Belle".

"Whoa! Whoa!" Arman and Mia rose up. Gibson smirking. "You should discuss with us first. You can just grab our mom like that, she still has us".

Jake blushes, the kids were right. "Miss Decker. Mr. Harley and Mr. James please we are still in Mia's matter. Sorry to interrupt your love triangle but this". Gibson stepped out.

"If you need me, you will find me down there, Mrs. Principal".

"Thank you, Mr. James, I appreciate what you did to save Mia earlier". Gibson is out of their sight. "That's for now, Miss Decker, I will take care of all of this".

Belle snorted at her, "You should do it!" Then they left the principal's office.

"I cannot believe this!" As they reach the ground. "What is the matter with all these kids lately? They become savage and take revenge on the weak one".

"Technically I am not that weak". Said Mia. Belle looked down at her.

"My poor baby girl. I'll take revenge on you if you allow me".

Arman spoke, "Mom, you said Mia can take care of herself. Just don't involve anything that could risk our life in school. What will they say about us someday".

"Arman is right, Belle as an adult we should stay out of this. Besides Arman and Mia got their black belt on their fighting skills so whatever they gonna use it if necessary to protect them".

"All right!" She growled. "Whatever!"

After being treated in the infirmary. Jo and her crew, Paris and Aleesha hiding themselves at the back of the building school.

What makes Jo feel like killing Mia right now is Gibson saw everything that she was doing. He will hate her. He will spit on her with disgust.

"What should we do now?" Ask Jo.

"You think!"

Paris and Aleesha point where they got bruises from Mia.

"We picked someone with the wrong size, Jo, that girl and her twin brother got their own fighting skills. If you ask me what we should do now, I told you now, we should stay out of her".

Jo shook no. "If we involve another thing with her we're doomed!"

"Did you girls hear what he said?" Ask Jo. "He said that Mia is his daughter".

"Of course he will say that he will protect her from us. If I were him I would say the same. He's everyone's crush now".

Aleesha hissing, said. "The principal is probably looking for us now".

"We didn't do anything wrong! Who got bruised? Us".

"You think the principal will believe that? I don't think so, Jo this is your fault not us. You should figure it out how. You force us to do something we don't like".

Jo glaring at them, in anger she spoke. "Now you two are blaming me on this!"

"YES! Because of your stupid idea we are stuck here and running from the principal".

Jo crossed arm on chest. A man figure approached them, and it was Gibson. Smirking at them, the girls are scared of him for no reason.

He stepped closer. "I hate to say this and I do not want to walk back to my prison cell which I used to". His eyes are on Paris and Aleesha. "Can I speak to her alone?"

"She's yours now, Mr. James, we don't want to involve anything between you two".

Paris and Aleesha hurried their feet back inside the building. Leaving Gibson and Jo alone now. He said.

"You are a good girl, Jo but what you did is wrong. If you want me to prove yourself that you can do better than this. Still... I considered you like my own niece if I had one. I cannot love you".

She stared, and stepped closer to him. He is shocked when she suddenly kisses him on the lips, he pushes her gently and breaks the kiss.

"What are you doing?"

"Just love me, James!"

He shook no. Breathing heavily. "How old are you sixteen? I had a wife the same as your age, it's been a long time ago. I hurt her. I kept her with me. What do you think I will fall for you".

"I want you to love me like you love your wife. Sixteen is the right age you can fill inside me and we will bear our baby together".

Gibson sighs harder again, the past repeating itself. Veronica Bilson is dead now. This Jo Malone, sixteen the same age he kidnapped Belle and bare his child.

He will not ruin this girl's life. Too precious, too innocent and have a bright future ahead for her. Belle, Arman and Mia are his family now.

He will not risk his life for someone he doesn't like beside his own family. They need him to be there for them.

"I'm sorry, Jo you must end this right away". He turns his heel and walks.

Later. Gibson climbed down the ladder exactly as the ambulance entered the building. Paramedics rushed inside.

"Mr. James?" The principal approached him. "I know it is hard to say but someone told me that you are the last person seeing Miss Malone".

"I do. Why?"

The principal said, "She cut herself. On her wrist, students found her inside the girl toilet. Bleeding on the floor. What did you said to her and why she made her decision to killed herself".

"You blame me for trying to kill her?"

The principal shook no. His eyes caught the paramedic pushing the stretcher out from the building school with Jo on the stretcher, unconscious.

Students look curious and exactly what happened to Jo Malone. "I just say that she must forget about me for being her lover".

"So you do?"

"I am not her lover nor I fall for her. Mrs. Principal I'm too old enough to become her uncle and I treat students equally here like my nephew and my niece. There is no more than that".

"Include Mia".

"Yes. Sometimes Miss Decker and her brother are like my own kids. That's all I thought about them and the rest of the students".

Mrs. Principal sighs and understands, and she speaks again. "She's too much! I don't know what to do to face her parents. They are on their way to hospital and any moment they will shout at me".

"Just tell the truth". Her eyes to Gibson. "You have the right to say that their daughters are not as good as they thought. I take this responsibility, Mrs. Principal".

She shook no, "No. It is not our fault. You stay where you are, Mr. James I handled this by myself". She breathes then walks.

Gibson shook his head resuming his work.
