Chapter 66: 65. Mary's Retirement
"This is to conclude that I Mary Margaret Emerie will retire as an actor, singer and a host. " she said as she bowed down her head.
"Why are you retiring so soon Miss Mary?!"
"What are your plans in the near future?!"
"Are you getting married?"
"Do you have a lover?"
"Tell us more about it Miss Mary!"
A lot of questions were asked during the conference yet Mary remained silent. "Are you really sure about retiring?" her manager asked as Mary smiled.
"Yes I am, I want to have a normal life, Get Married and have kids. I have had enough of this showbiz life now." she explained as she packed her things.
In the Reyes Mansion Wendy was waiting for Mary's arrival. Since the Twin's birthday is coming, she invited her into the house.
She heard about Mary's retirement and there are lots of things that they want to talk about especially that Zackeeyah is a fan of Mary's acting without knowing that they are related.
"Are you really okay about this Babe?" Wendy asked as Zade stopped writing and took off his eyeglasses letting Wendy sit on his lap as she smiled at him and kissed him gently on his cheeks.
"I'm fine with anything that you want Babe, Mary is your family after all so she deserves to be present in the Twin's birthday." Zade said as Wendy smiled.
"I'm happy that God gave me someone like you babe." Zade whispered as Wendy had given him nothing but happiness including the twins who have grown into such a young woman and man.
"Will Aaron be okay about this?" she asked as Zade sigh. He knows that Aaron is not a fan about this idea yet he need to cope up with what Wendy wanted in the first place.
Especially that Mary is Wendy's cousin and family.
"Your parents will be coming a bit later after the twins birthday, Are you fine with them taking the children to Italy?" Zade asked knowing that that country was where the Katana's is and still planning their revenge to avenge their dead master.
"Italy is quite a far and dangerous place yet they want to have fun with the twins so let's just give it to them." Wendy reassured as Zade nodded and smiled at her since he trust Wendy with her decision yet he still need to properly fix things especially during the trip that is why Jayden and Target will tag along with them.
"Ahh Mary is here!" Wendy gladly said as she run towards Mary and hugged her immediately.
"Wendy its been ages!" Mary said as she was happy to finally see Wendy again after how many years.
Mary stopped when he saw Aaron behind Zade as he smiles and greeted her with a bow.
It was such an awkward scene as Wendy starts changing the topic on how was Mary's life after retiring on her career.
"It was peaceful yet things are going unwell especially that some fans are obsessed with my existence so they are-"
"Harassing you on your apartment?" Aaron asked with a concern tone as he cleared his throat.
"Ehem I mean its usually like that for a famous artist." he said as Zade smirked.
"Yeah it is and I already expected such thing, I just wanted a break after all." she said as Aaron looked at him worriedly.
'I see after all this years Aaron still cares, he just kept on denying such stuff.' Zade said to himself as he let the servant guide Mary to the guestroom since the twins are not around to meet since they are still on school.
In the school Zachary and Zackeeyah never invited anyone on their birthday since everyone attending their parties are not normal person that is why they avoid conflicts by saying that they will have a lowkey party yet this pissed Zachary off since he wanted to invite his group of friends after all.
"Yow bro you kept on uninviting us on your birthday, Do you even have any plans on inviting us? This will be a huge event since Zachary is turning eighteen after all. Your household will gladly accept suitors right?"
Zachary's classmates asked as they are curious on what does Zachary Family does.
"My sister is engage on someone I don't knwo but my Mom said that he is a fine man." Zachary said as everyone looked motivated.
"Then we will just have to let your mother see how manly we are."
"I will give a lot of donation on the Reyes Family."
"Shut it, We're richer than you sh*ts!" Zachary shouted as he was pissed by everyone making a fuzz about their birthday.
"I think your just faking things on your own Zachary." Daniel Foley, Zachary's mortal enemy especially in sports and academics.
"What do you mean by that Daniel?" Zachary asked as he glared at him.
"I think your faking things like being rich since your so secretive about your family. Goodness were already in highschool why can't we still have a party at your damn place? If your that rich prove it you damn psycho!" He said provoking Zachary.
Zackeeyah entered the room as Zachary grabbed Daniel's collar.
"Then let me prove it to you by simply making your family business miserable that you will wish that you never provoked me." Zachary whispered yet Daniel just smirked.
"All talk no action or proof's. Stop thinking that you can underestimate us when you to yourself can't show us any proof's that you are even richer than us." Daniel said as he have no room for himself to shut the fvck up.
"Fine you fvcker! Let's do this. EVERYONE IS INVITED ON OUR BIRTHDAY TODAY I'LL SEND YOU ALL THE FVCKING INVITATION." Zachary shouted as everyone cheered and got excited since this will be the first time that they got invited on the Twins birthday.
Zackeeyah sighed and starts chatting the group chat.
Zackeeyah:
Zachary snapped.
Wendy:
Snapped what baby?
Aaron:
Fvcking hell! Didn't he tried to constraint himself?!
Jayden:
I guess everyone will be busy.
Zade:
Tell Zachary to answer his damn phone Zackeeyah!
Zackeeyah sighed and looked at Zachary throwing his phone outside the window so that it would stop ringing.
Zackeeyah:
He threw his phone outside Daddy.
Zade:
That temper where the hell did he get that?!
Aaron:
Look who's talking? Bwahahahahha!!!
Zackeeyah:
Uncle Aaron the total number of students coming is 35.
Aaron:
What?! Did your brother invited the whole class?!
Zackeeyah:
School is starting, We'll see you later.
In the Reyes Mansion everyone was busy cleaning up the place for the Twin's visitors. Mary take a look at the garden as it never change at all.
As she stumble upon Aaron busy instructing the gardener's to clean the face in case if the visitors want to roam around the mansion.
Aaron stopped a bit as she saw Mary and immediately went back to work.
Aaron looked awkward around Mary yet Mary was confused since it's been ten long years and he's still single with no child.
'What had happened while I was away?' Mary thought thinking that there might be something wrong since she hasn't seen Anastasia around.
"Aaron..." She called as Aaron stopped walking passed her. "What is it?" He asked as Mary can't even looked at him properly.
'I see, After all this time my heart still skip's a beat whenever your around.' Mary thought of such thing and was about to cry herself out.
"Mary," Aaron called as Mary snapped back to reality. "Can I have atleast ten minutes of your time?" Mary asked as Aaron looked at his watch and nodded.
"Ten minutes it is, Start talking now." He said
as Mary smiled sadly asking the most painful question for her.
"Are you happy now with your new lover?" She asked sadly as Aaron knew that she's talking about Anastasia.
"I retired showbiz yet you never returned to me with a wife and children. Did you get married?" She asked again.
"Aaron..." She called and looked at him with a sad eyes.
"If you want to know if I got married then the answer is no." Aaron said. "I will take my leave now. Your ten minutes is over." He said as Mary smiled sadly knowing that Aaron is keeping a distance away from her since he is not interested about her existence anymore.
Aaron sigh as he smiled sadly knowing that this time it's time for him to make a decision.
"Aaron," Anastasia called as Aaron smiled at her. "Hey, How was Los Angeles?" He asked as Anastasia smiled back.
"It was fun, Did you meet with her?" She asked as Aaron nodded in response. "The Twins are having a visitor huh, This will be a hectic job for you. Anyways I will be at my room." Anastasia said as she starts walking away yet Aaron hold her hand.
"I'm sorry for making you wait this much." Aaron whispered as Anastasia smiled knowing what Aaron's answer will be.
"I know Aaron, I know..."
