His Devious Rule

257 A Punisher for Criminals

Alvin indeed looked annoyed and cold. He wasn't reacting to her or saying anything. Even when he caught her hand, she wasn't sure about the reason behind his actions. She repeatedly asked if he wanted something or what was wrong. But it was making him more irritated and his grip was getting strong on her wrist.

She had told him she could only understand if he speaks about the problem. But he stubbornly stayed silent, thus she couldn't speak about the villa either.

She checked the time on the wall clock, it was still fifteen minutes to five in the morning. Leaving the damp towel on the side table, she climbed onto the bed, without shrugging his hand. Sneaking under the comforter, she laid down near him.

Alvin didn't react for a long time. Considering how long he was annoyed the previous time, she thought to take a nap. But… What if he doesn't rest and leave?

Snuggling closer, She wrapped her hand that he was holding and hummed, "Rest, I am right here." She said as if coaxing a child to sleep and she wasn't going to leave him alone. Flashing him a smile even when he wasn't looking at her, she closed her eyes.

She wasn't sure when, she was dozing off when he flipped to her side and buried her in his arms.

...

It was seven when Anya's mobile rang, waking her and Alvin up. Then they realized there was a little meatball between them and they were cuddling him. Anya involuntarily smiled, kissing her son but Alvin's expression turned complex.

He was a father of five years old and it wasn't easy for him to accept. He was asking Zane not to go with anybody who calls himself a father but he turned out to be the one.

He had thought he wouldn't be like Casper and get along with Zane, his Little Donut's son. Now, what was he going to tell if Zane asked, why he (Alvin) wasn't there when he was little?

Anya, who got off the bed, had to go near the coffee table where her mobile was ringing. Looking at the contact as Krystie, she answered the call.

"Oye Madam, have you seen the time? Zane will be late to school." Krystle's hooligan's voice sounded.

Anya looked at the clock and cursed, "Oh damn." She ran towards the bed as she requested, "Krystie, please ask in the kitchen to pack breakfast for Baby… Mwa."

Ending the call, she scooped sleeping Zane into her arms, "Baby, Baby, wake up. We are late to school." She was running out but returned to Alvin who was sitting, leaning against the bedpost.

Kissing on his cheek, "I will see you later." She ran out.

Both brushed their teeth quickly, Anya changed to a tracksuit and helped Zane to wear his uniform. Carrying him and his school bag, she ran downstairs and collected the breakfast and lunch bags. Rushing out to the car that was prepared, "I will be driving." She told to Rob.

After opening the back door, she realized Alvin was inside the car, looking sexy in his tracksuit. Having no time to say anything, she left Zane in the backseat and put on his seat belt. "Baby, have your breakfast. I will try to bring you on time."

"It's alright, Momma. Don't drive fast." Zane didn't mind taking a bit of scolding.

Anyway, Anya held her breath and raced towards the school, hammering on the car horn countless times.

Alvin and Zane: "…"

Both looked at each other and Anya, then sighed. "Momma, breathe."

"Oh yeah…" She inhaled but again held her breath.

…..

At five minutes to eight, Anya slammed on the brake in front of the school. "Finally." She breathed a sigh of relief.

'Honk, honk…' A school van halted behind the car and started honking, asking for space to enter the school. Couldn't they give her a break for a minute? Anya cried to herself and looked behind.

"Alvin, could you please help Zane out? I will park the car ahead." She requested, pointing a little ahead.

Alvin said nothing. He got off holding the bags and Zane got off on his own. Anya drove ahead to park the car.

"Zane, wait for me." Jia's lively voice sounded, pausing Zane.

Alvin merely glanced behind. He chose to go with Anya because of an anonymous message. He guessed it to be from Jason after seeing his car. But why would Jason ask him to be there?

Jason had parked his car before the entrance and took his daughter towards Zane.

Anya waved her hand at Jia as she went toward them. Her eyes fell on a motorbike that was riding fast in school surroundings. Her eyes widened when a rider pulled out a baseball bat. Their body language and speed were screaming for their next action.

Anya alerted Jason as she ran towards them, "Chief, shield up." Jason kneeled, burying Jia in his arms, and held her bag as a shield to him.

Anya grabbed the traffic cone in the meantime to stop the motorbike from escaping. She spun around to throw the cone in front of the bike.

Jason who processed the attack and possible target, grunted, "Zane!!"

He was right, the motorbike pillion rider aimed at Zane's head and swung his baseball bat. Everything was happening so fast, that Anya was late to fathom the real target wasn't Jason but her son.

Zane's eyes widened. He froze on the spot looking at the motorbike speeding toward him. He was so shocked that he couldn't even scream or cry.

When the motorbike came too close and he cried in panic, "Momma…"

Anya's body quivered hearing Zane's voice when she spun to throw the traffic cone at the motorbike.

Alvin had seen the motorbike getting closer. As soon as he realized the target was his son, his menacing gaze peered at the bike.

His first thought was to make himself a shield to Zane and one would definitely get hurt. But one who should knock on the door of hell shouldn't them.

If he pulled Zane away early, the motorbike would get even closer to cause them harm. He grabbed Zane's arm and tugged him at a time when the bike rider failed to react and he kicked the baseball bat.

At the same time, the main rider failed to avoid the traffic cone, causing the bike to flip.

"Ahhh…" The screams filled the air, people started running away witnessing the scene.

'Screech…' The other vehicles came to a screeching halt.

Jason wanted to help them but Jia was crying in fear, hugging him with all her might. "Daddy, I am scared. Daddy…" He had to coax her as he called Melvin to look into it immediately.

Anya's body was shaking terribly. Playing the savior or cop role in others' life was easier than seeing her son in danger.

She ran towards Zane who was in shock and Alvin strode to the two riders who were groaning in pain.

"Baby!?"

"Momma…" Zane's voice shook and his eyes filled up as soon as Anya went to his sight. He wrapped his arms around her neck and repeated fright, "Momma…"

"All fine, Baby. Nothing will happen." She didn't realize her voice was cracking. She tried to comfort him, which needed the most.

"Ahhh…." An ear-piercing cry startled Zane. Anya buried his face in her arms witnessing Alvin breaking a man's face with his bare hands, without a hint of mercy.

She rushed inside the school gates to avoid Zane witnessing anything. The school guards went to separate Alvin from those men.

Jason carried Jia. He noted that Alvin Matthews was disregarding everything, losing his cool, and thrashing the two men.

"I am sorry, Baby. I am really sorry. I shouldn't have asked you to get down the car." She gently rubbed Zane's back, coaxing him. She was glad Alvin was there and reacted in time.

Having no idea what happened at the gates, Jia got off her father's arms and ran over to them. She exclaimed proudly, "Zane, you are so brave." She genuinely said as she was crying but he wasn't.

Zane pursed his lips and stood back. There was still fear in his eyes yet he forced a smile at Jia.

"Momma, will you pick me up after school?" He wouldn't dare to step out without seeing her or… Alvin.

Anya didn't agree immediately, she caressed his head as she suggested, "How about you rest at home with me?"

Jia's lips curled down thinking they were going to leave. "Jass, I…" Jason shushed his daughter who wanted to tag along with Zane.

Zane shook his head. He had taken a lot of holidays. He didn't want to take more. And he has to be brave. "No, Momma. Please pick me up after school."

Anya wanted to keep him next to her. This kind of fear could affect him in the long term. But seeing him take it strongly, she decided to do as he said. "Of course Baby, I will arrive early and wait for you."

She added when Zane hugged her again, "Click on the watch button if you couldn't stay in class. Momma will pick you up immediately."

Zane agreed to her and went to the class with Jia.

Jason commented, "You should control your man before he kills somebody."

Anya's expression turned malicious and distant as the two kids disappeared from her sight. 'Harming her baby?' Somebody was having a death wish.

"Tear off the resignation."

Unsurprised, Jason pitied the one who provoked her.

This time she was more dangerous than before. Because she wasn't going to be a cop who follows rules. But a punisher for the criminals.

Alvin's lethal gaze fixed on Anya as soon as she stepped out of the gates. He demanded fiercely, glaring into her eyes, "Is that how you keep him safe?" If he wasn't there, he couldn't even imagine what would happen to Zane.

If the school had the facility to drop kids inside the gates, this incident wouldn't have happened. "Couldn't you send him to a better school?"

Anya's expression changed. She only let Zane get out of the car because Alvin was there. And Alvin knew she could go any length for her son.

Thus the one in front of her wasn't the man who liked her and was ready to accept Zane as his son. But a father who was furious at her for not being next to his son.

"When did you get to know?" Her distant voice floated in the air.
