High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 125: Crowning Ceremony!

Alex can hear silence on another side. They were unhappy because he said the truth? Of course, truth is always bitter and sour and this truth was not hidden. Alex had a dull smile on his face when he said and gave these more thoughts.

Facing all this made him strong enough. His life now does not involve his family members anymore.

"Alex... It is not like this." He heard his mother saying again after a long stop. And what was she saying that it is not like this? Hah, the mistake was committed by them but, they wanted to use him and Scott and they are saying it is not like this? Alex found it funny to even imagine.

"I think, we both know the reality. I'm hanging up."

"Alex, Wait! C-can.. you come home and br..ing Sc..ott with you?" Alex can feel she was hesitant to ask this. He does not understand what a mother feels when she is not with her children.

He knew Scott needed their mother's immense love but he was also afraid of what his father will do to him and to save his life, despite keeping him away from their parents is better. At least he will be able to lead a happy and free life since his childhood.

"We have not met each other for such a long time and I think... It is best for all of us to stay away from each other." Alex held coldness in his voice but his heart hurts while saying this to his mother. She was his mother who kept him inside her for nine months! And later, she gave birth to him! But sometimes the one giving you life is not always your good wisher.

"Hmm... I understand." Alex's mother can only understand. What else can she even do? Nothing...

"Bye." Alex finally disconnected the call and sat at the bed while staring at the ceiling. He felt he was much more close to his ceiling as compared to his parents. Keeping all his thoughts aside, he went to sleep.

.....

The next morning, Anna got up and went down. She found her mother making some delicious breakfast for her. Well, what more can she ask?

"Mum, what have you made?" Anna cheerfully asked with a big smile.

"Why are you smiling so much? Any special occasion?" Mother Marrie found it suspicious seeing her daughter's big grin that too early in the morning.

"Oh, well I'm going to Miyu's concert tonight!!! Isn't it exciting?" Anna was jumping on the floor while saying this.

"I can never understand this young generation of yours. It is only a concert. Why getting so much excited?" Mother Marrie being a mother as everyone too found this a bit unusual.

She never enjoyed her days so she always replaces these things disturbing. Even when her brother used to ask mother Marrie to join them at such a concert, she will rarely agree or pass it. Convincing their mother is so difficult!

"Oh, Mom! You won't understand so leave it. I'm going to it tonight and will not come back. So don't make dinner for me. Ah, mom why don't you go to Uncle Addie's house?" Anna suggested. Being in a house alone will only make her mother think more about the past.

It is a habit of everyone to overthink alone or recalling the past and crying. She did not want her mum to cry ow. She wants her to be happy!

"They are newlyweds, Anna. They need time to spend with each other and it is not good to disturb them. So, a bad idea. I will stay at home and watch any movie!"

Anna sighed seeing her mother giving that housewife vibe again. It was so odd and old for her to handle this. 'I have a better plan for you. I won't let you be alone.' Anna excused herself and went out to make a call.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Walker, I have an offer for you....." Anna said while making sure, her mother does not come near the garden.

"I'm listening."

"I'm giving you one option to spend some time with mom if you want. Oh, she might throw taunts, you will have to bear it. So, are you in?" It was a simple offer.

"YES!! For sure!. When?!?" Anna can hear his excitement tone. He won't be tired of her mother and she knows this very well.

"Home around four o'clock." saying this, she hanged up. Anna did not want to give much information to him.

What was needed is given already

.....

While Anna was preparing and selecting the dress, she got a notification on her phone. She reached for her phone and saw the message was to inform her that her team wasn't able to track down the organization who was behind yesterday's attack on her. 'Is it possible that those people were not for me?'

It is easy to know if someone is after her but if that person us not after her then will her team be able to track it? Maybe no! But why will someone come after Alex? Because of his background in the Army? It was a rare possibility that people of the Army family being also attacked.

Leaving this thought, Anna decided on a maroon color dress for herself. It was a knee-length dress and along with it, she chose black high boots which matched the maroon color too. To complete her outfit, she chose silver round earrings and applied a little lip balm on her lips.

As she glanced at herself in the mirror, it looked like she was seeing someone else in her dreams. It exactly matched her personality of being dangerous and as a mafia girl.

'You look perfect!' Anna complimented herself as she didn't expect a comment from others. Carrying a black sling bag, she was ready to go to the concert. Anna went down to say goodbye to her mother but then, her mother reminded her something.

"Your grandfather called. Mr. and Mrs. Walker's Anniversary is coming and they want to officially introduce you as their granddaughter."
