ADOPTED HEIR **Back to Washington DC**
Writer's P O V
A call came into Nathaniel's phone and he picked it up at the second ring.

"Hello, it's true man. I found out, she got pregnant and gave birth to twins. It's all over the net man. I heard she got pregnant when she was 15, could it be..... OMG! Nate! You might be a father!" Paul informed and exclaimed from the other end.
Paul was met with silence after what he said.
"Hello? Nate? Are you there?" Paul questioned.
"Um..yes, what's her current location?" Nate inquired.
"She's currently at Buford, I'm not really sure about that but what I heard is that she took one week leave. She won't be coming back to work until Wednesday so she might come back to Washington before Wednesday. But why are you asking all these? You wanna show yourself to her?" Paul narrated and probed.
He heard Nathaniel sigh. "I don't know, man. I seriously don't know what I'm to do but I think I'll start by checking if her kids are mine. I'll have to find that out first." Nathaniel answered.

"Well, I really don't know what to advice you. You can just do what your mind tells you but it'll be tough. I'm sure Isabella is not the same as she was years ago. I'm sure she's not that timid or will easily fall for sweet talks. I wish you luck and I'm hoping to see you soon." Paul told him.
"Thanks man. Talk to you later then." He thanked and disconnected the call.
Nathaniel took his hand to his forehead and messaged it severally. After thinking for a while, he brought up his phone and called his father.
His call got picked at the second to the last ring.

"Hello Nate, how are you doing, son?" His mother's voice came up.
"Mom? I'm good, please can you give the phone to dad, I need to speak to him. It's urgent." Nathaniel requested.
"Hope there is no problem, Nate? Your father is in the sitting room." His mom inquired.
"No, mom. I'll have to explain things to you later, but please hand the phone over to him." Nathaniel answered.
"Okay, I'll do just that." His mom responded.
Few seconds later his father's voice came up.
"Hello Nathan, what is it?"
"Dad. I have something important I need to tell you." Nathaniel sounded urgent.
"What is it? Hope there is no problem with my company?" His father asked.
"No, I want to take a leave. I.. I have something important to do back in Washington. You know Isabella Asher Queen right? The current heir of Queens empire?" Nathaniel asked.
"Queens? Queens company? I've heard of the new heir. Why?" His father responded.
"Um..I have a deal with her which might last a month. Can I go there?" Nathaniel lied.
"A deal? How come I know nothing of this deal? Nathan's dad asked picking interest."
"Dad. I wanted to surprise you with it but when I learnt that it might take up to 1 month. I decided to inform you before leaving for washington. Can I go?" Nathaniel asked.
"Of course you should. If it's a deal that will benefit us then you should. What are you waiting for? You should leave this weekend." Nathan's dad hushed getting excited.
"I will hand things over to Vincent then. Goodbye for now." Nathan concluded.
"Yes." His father said and the line went off.
Nathan sighed and brushed his fingers through his hair.
I hope this goes well. He thought as he put down his phone.

Days went by fast and Isabella returned back to Washington with her kids.
They got down from the Queen's company jet and a maybach was ready to take them to Isabella's mansion. Isabella had chosen to buy a mansion with a spacious garden because of her kids. She knows that one day, she'll be able to live happyily with them.
The driver drove Isabella back to her mansion. They got down in the garage, Kendrick's and Kendra's mouth fell open in bewilderment.
"Woah. Mom, you have a very huge building here!" Kendrick exclaimed.
"Exactly, these are the kind of houses we see only on television. I never imagined that I'll be in one day one, that I'll be living in one." Kendra also exclaimed. She was super excited.
"Sweethearts, when the time comes you can have as many mansion as you please. This is not the biggest mansion you'll ever see." Isabella laughed at her kid's behavior.
"Wow! Goodness, I wish Will and Aiden could see this. Damn it!" Kendrick exclaimed again looking all over the garden and the impressive waterfall.
"Let's go in." Isabella urged her kids as her guards came to collect their luggages.
"Woah." Kendrick and Kendra kept looking around as they followed their mom to the entrance of the house.
"Good evening, ma'am." Isabella's personal maid came out to greet her. She was glad that her madam was finally back to Washington.
"How have you been, Hannah?" Isabella beamed smiles at her.
Hannah was shocked, it's her first time seeing Isabella smile so sweetly. She doesn't even know that her boss knows her name.
"I'm..I'm good, ma'am." Hannah replied.
Hannah turned to both Kendrick and Kendra.
"Hi, young master. Hi young miss." Hannah could easily tell that they were Isabella's kids since Isabella already explained to her that she is going to bring her two kids back.
"Hi."
"Hi."Both Kendrick and Kendra waved at her and continued staring around while following Isabella into the house.
"Don't worry, you guys can explore the mansion tomorrow. It's already too late to do that today. Tomorrow you do it." Isabella said to them.
The entrance door was already opened for her so she went in. Kendra was the second to enter.
"Woah!!!" She exclaimed more loudly.
"Are you kidding me? Did you say we are going to live here? Oh my gosh!" Kendra shouted.
"Geez!" Kendrick also gasped out when he got in.
The sitting room was unexplainable wide and so beautiful. It was grand, just like a castle's sitting room.
Isabella left them and went up straight to her room to bath and change her wears.
"Kendrick, are you sure that we aren't dreaming? Are you sure this isn't even one of my silly dreams? Maybe... maybe I've been dreaming of my model turning out to be my mother and taking us to live with her. Oh goodness! Hope I've not been dreaming about all these. I'll be so mad at myself if it turns out to be a dream." Kendra screamed.
Kendrick went closer to her and pulled her cheeks, making sure she felt the pain.
"Ouch..! What was that for?" Kendra glared at him.
"I'm just letting you know that you aren't dreaming okay?" Kendrick rolled his eyes at his sister. Kendra rolled hers back.
They returned to staring around the sitting room.
"Where is mom?" Kendra turned to Hannah who was standing and watching them both.
"She went to to her room, miss." Hannah responded.
"Where is her room? I want to see." Kendra asked.
"Please follow me. I'll also show you to your room." Hannah lead the way and climbed the sparkling stairs up.
Kendra followed after her.
Hanna lead Kendra to her room first.
"This is your miss. It's facing your brother's room. Let me show you madam's room." Hannah lead her to Isabella's room.
Kendra opened the door and went in to meet Isabella undressing.
"Oh mom. Thanks for being so rich." Isabella ran and hugged her.
"Not that I wouldn't have accepted you if you weren't that successful tho. But it's so cool that you are this wealthy. It makes me so proud of you." Kendra added when she disengaged from the hug.
Her words made Isabella remember what her adoptive mom, Felicity once told her.
*I don't hate you, Isabella. I've told you, I'm only doing this for your own good. Trust me, you won't want your kids to learn that their mother dropped out of school because she was raped and never went back. You don't want your kids to regret having you as their mother when they finally get to know you, do you?
Look, I'm not depriving you of happiness. If you really want your kids. Then the only way to get to them is to show me you are capable of being a mother to them. Become successful then I will let you do anything you want.
A young teen like you don't know what being a mother is. Also show them, you are capable of being their mother. That is truly the only way. If you insist then keep fighting yourself here. Just remember that you are the only one holding yourself back.*
Isabella sighed at the words she remembered. She looked up at Kendra's face and equally pulled her into another hug. "I'm happy that you guys chose me as your mother, Ken. Thank you for choosing me." Isabella sighed.
"Come on, mom. I love you so much." Kendra closed her eyes and said, getting emotional.
