My Ex Next Door

Novie could feel her sight fading once again, she stopped the car in the side road and leaned her head on the backseat.

The triplets sitting behind her peep their head to check on her.

"Aunt Novie, are you all right?" Leo asked while caressing her cheek.

"No, We need to go but my legs are too weak. I can't drive anymore" she said faintly.

The triplets kept on calling her name but their voices are slowly fading.

Meanwhile, When the triplets saw their Auntie eyes closing, they decided to take action on their own.

Ethan and Leo pushed Novie's body to the passenger seat and positioned themselves in the driver seat.

Leo held the steering wheels while Ethan sat on the lower part of the driver seat while putting both feet on the brake and gas pedal and Alexa seated on Novie's lap so she can instruct Leo on which turns he need to go since the boy could not see the road clearly.

"All right womb-mate. On three" Alexa asked her brother to prepare.

"One.. two… Ah!" Alexa screamed when Ethan suddenly pressed the gas pedal and their car accelerated.

Leo focused on the steering wheel and tried to ignore Alexa's screamed.

"What are you two doing? I told you 'On three'," she yelled at them.

"Leo's leg pokes my head which made my feet pressed the gas accidentally.." Ethan replied.

"Ah!!! Leo right!!!" Alexa screamed, her face went pale when she saw the curved.

Leo whirled the steering wheel to the right which made Alexa's body fell on the ground. She immediately got up and sit on Novie's laps once again.

When she saw a tree ahead of them, she shouted at Ethan.

"Ethan tree!!!" she closed her eyes and ready herself for the impact. Thankfully, Ethan was able to press the break but since Alexa was not wearing a seatbelt, her body fell from the chair while her forehead hit in the compartment.

She frost when she felt the pain in her forehead, her hand touched it and find out that she had a big lump on her forehead.

"OMG! My forehead! What am I going to do?" she screamed and turned to her brother, their faces were drained as well.

"We are still alive?" Leo strumbled while his hands are shaking.

"I think so..." Ethan replied while his spirit escapes from his body.

Ring…

A phone rings sounded around the car, Alexa searched around and saw a phone under the seat.

Her eyebrow creased when she saw the name registered, 'Mr. Castro'

"Brothers! I think our kidnapper is that scary principal!" she spoke in fright. Her brother checked the phone and asked her to hung up.

When the call ended, Alexa immediately dialed her mother's number.

"Hello?" it was her Aunt Peyton who answered the call.

"Aunt Peyton!" the three shouted at the same time.

"Wait let me put you on speaker" Peyton uttered and they could hear their mother's voice calling their name.

"ETHAN! LEO! ALEXANDRIA! You three better not come back here with a scratch!" her mother shrieked at them.

"Mommy..." the three spoke in a broken voice.

"If something happened to your Aunt Novie. Oh my god! I will send you all to Sahara and make sure…."

The three looked at each other with terror. Alexa immediately hung up the phone while her mother was still talking and chewed on her finger tensely.

"What should we do? If mommy sees the bump in my head, she will get very angry" she spoke in a frail voice.

The three became quiet.

"Should we call daddy?" Leo asked.

Alexa sighed and dialed her father's number.

"Who is this?" Evan spoke, Alexa gulped and giggled.

"Hi Daddy, how are you?" she asked while making her tone cheerful.

"Alexa? I am fine. Baby, who's phone are you using? Are you still in the school?" their father asked.

The triplets sighed in relief when they realized that their father doesn't know the situation yet.

"Yes… daddy. We… we are… I guess in school?" Alexa was about to continue when she heard her father sighing.

"Alexandria!" her father called her full name which made her skin crawled, she then realized that their father must be testing her.

She exploded, tears streamed down from her eyes when she realized that her father was furious.

"We got kidnapped and Aunt Novie passed out, so Ethan and Leo drove the car and then we almost fall to the cliff and just now we almost hit the tree! DADDY! I am dying here... my forehead! mommy said we can't go back home if we have got hurt... We don't know where we can stay" her brother tried to comfort her but she wont stop crying.

"Let me talk to you Ethan" Evan spoke in a calm tone, Alexa handed it to her brother.

"Daddy?"

"Are you not looking after your sister? Who told you to drive?" he scolded him.

Ethan lowered his head and felt guilty.

"I am sorry, daddy, but we are scared that the kidnappers might follow us so we decided to drive it. We used the phone we found in the car and some man called Mr. Castro called, it might be the principal in our previous school but I am not sure" Ethan explained.

"Ok, stay there. I got your location. How did you escape the kidnappers?" his father asked.

Ethan scratches his head, "Well I remember that mommy gave Alex a pearl necklace but it was actually a smoke bomb with chloroform. So I use it when some of the guards left the basement but I forgot to cover Aunt Novie's nose and the effect just came now" he explained.

There was a moment of silence before his father spoke again.

"Ok, hide for 15 minutes. Once you heard the sound of the chopper come out from hiding all right?"

Ethan ended the call and they decided to hide under the car. Leo and Ethan pulled Novie's body from the passenger seat while Alexa was holding the car door.

"Hey! Be careful, Aunt Novie's face almost fell on the ground, if she got hurt Uncle Ken will be angry" she scolded her brothers.

The two boys pouted and pushed Novie's body under the car, then they squeeze their body to hide.

–

Brent and the two women arrived in the hospital. When Daniella saw the nurses and guard laying on the ground unconscious, her face went pale.

She gulped repeatedly and pushed the elevator button.

"Gosh! What happened here? This is a massacre!" Peyton gasped and covered her nose after she smelled the stinky scent of the blood.

"Damn it! What went wrong? I have everything under control and suddenly!" Daniella spoke in disbelief while Brent looked around the lobby with shock in his face.

"Your kids! Are you not worried about them?" Brent asked Daniella in disbelief, he listened to their conversation and even though the triplets have been captured, Daniella didn't seem to care.

"Don't worry. The triplets know the drill. They have been kidnapped numerous times so they know what to do but I am scared about Novie. Evan said she was unconscious"

The elevator door opened and the three were about to step in when they saw Bea with Ken.

The man looked at Daniella in shock.

"Ms. Chen?" Ken spoke.

Brent narrowed his eyes and went closer to Daniella to rustle.

"Who's Ms. Chen?" Brent could see Daniella's lips parted, "That's me" Daniella replied absently.

Brent rose an eyebrow in confusion, wondering why Ken called her Ms. Chen when her last name was Su.

Before he could ask another question, he saw Ken pointing a gun to Daniella while his eyes were emotionless.

"Did you brought those men here to kill me? Why?" Ken spoke in a deep voice.

Brent gulped and tried to help but it's too late, Ken's body collapsed on the ground after Daniella hit Ken's neck.

He looked at Daniella in hysteria, "Hey! He just woke up!" he exclaimed.

The woman sighed and turned to him, "Believe me, you wouldn't want Novie to see Ken in this state" Daniella spoke in a grave tone which made him even more confused.

"What state?" he asked.

"Well… remember the cold-beast-jerk-unmannered Blue Dragon boss?"

Brent nodded as a response.

"He's back… oh my Gosh! When I thought I can finally get a full eight hours sleep, this rascal needs to have this freak**g amnesia" Daniella massages her arms and walked away after asking him to bring Ken's body to their car while Peyton helped Bea and the therapist.

Before Daniela started the car, she looked at Brent, "I think this is only a short time memory loss since he was in the coma for a long time. Let's hope he will regain his memory back soon. I don't want my Alexa and Novie to be heartbroken" Daniella shook her head and drove away.

Brent looked at Ken sitting on the backseat, he has been wondering about Ken's personality when he was still his boss but now he might have a chance to see it in person.

"When do you think he will get his memory back?" He asked in curiosity.

The woman sighed and replied, "Hopefully soon... like once he wakes up because if he doesn't I will keep beating him up until his brain works properly"
