Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 46

6:00 AM at First Diamond Hotel.

"Sam? Sam. It's time to wake up." Fluttering her eyes open, she awoke to the voice of Ethan on a Sunday morning. Samantha hummed herself up and called for him, "Ethan? How are you here so early?"

"Aunt Diana let me in, I thought I'd wake you." Ethan was sitting on the side of Samantha's bed, caressing her hand to wake.

"Oh, gosh. What if I had drool on my face? How could aunt just let you come in?" Complained Samantha while covering her mouth.

Her words resulted in Ethan's smirk and he answered, "It doesn't matter... tomorrow and the coming days, I'll see your face every day when I wake up, first thing in the morning."

He leaned over and pecked on Samantha's lips and said, "Good morning, Sam. I had the hotel bring up some breakfast so we can leave as soon as possible. You are all ready, right?"

She smiled at her morning kiss and answered, "Yes, overly ready. The kids have been so excited, they slept at twelve talking about the possibilities."

"Daddy? Are we going now?" Kyle was the first to wake, hearing Ethan's voice. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at his father with glee.

"Yes, Kyle. After breakfast. Wake up your sister and get ready," told Ethan.

It took only two hours for the entire family to get ready to leave after having a full breakfast. At eight in the morning, they were all down at the lobby, once again under the watchful eyes of the reception and security.

Heading out to the hotel driveway, they were stunned to see a longer Maybach car. Kyle expressed, "Woah! Is this a limo, Daddy?"

"No, Kyle. It's a six-seater Maybach Pullman. It's our family car," revealed Ethan.

"Wow! It looks so beautiful!" Exclaimed Kenzie while being held by Diana.

Samantha, on the other hand, said, "It - it looks expensive."

Unexpectedly, A man of great stance, tall and wearing a black suit, came off from the driver's seat and opened the door at the back.

Ethan then introduced him, "Sam, this is Connor Scott. He will be the children's dedicated security. He is also my long-time friend, someone I grew up with as a child and had lived with us for long."

"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Wright, and children," expressed Connor.

"Wait, you said this is your friend who manages the security of your parent's home? What about that house?" Samantha asked while studying Connor. He was still like how Ethan used to be and was utterly intimidating.

"The children are the priority right now, Mrs. Wright." It was Connor who answered for Ethan. "Thus, I will serve your family from here on."

"Next week, you will be working. So as an added help, Connor and Edgar will be bringing the kids to school, together with aunt Diana if she prefers to," Ethan explained. He caressed Samantha's back and told, "We will have all the help we need to ensure the safety and wellness of our children."

"Wow," responded Samantha. "This is beyond my expectations."

While Ethan had long expressed about having security specific to the children, Samantha was unsure of how serious he was about it. She honestly thought that Edgar was enough.

Still, hearing that Ethan requested his childhood friend, who had worked for his family his entire life, to be the main security of the children, made Samantha feel secured.

"Let's go... to our new home," Ethan suggested, offering his hand to Samantha.

With Diana in front, and the family at the back, they all rode in delight to the residential community where their new mansion awaited.

The kids were utterly entertained by the car's various functions and features from inside the vehicle.

"Wow! We can see the sky!" Exclaimed Kenzie, looking up to the panoramic roof.

It made Kyle remark, "This is like a spaceship car!" Lounging on his leather seat, he suggested, "And it feels so comfortable!"

It was only after Kyle had practically tried all various buttons, from windows to air conditioning and even exploring the extended desk under hidden compartments did he finally settle. He then announced, "I like this car. This is... my kind of car!"

Following a smirk, Samantha said, "I bet you do."

She was silently wondering how much it cost. "I bet... I could buy a house with this car."

"It's worth the comfort... It's for the kids and for you," reminded Ethan.

Driving past the community's main gate, Diana and the kids were already elated.

Various homes with tall gates could be seen distancing every fifty meters apart. One could say privacy was an utmost priority for the owners of these homes.

Several 'oohs' and 'awws' could be heard, especially coming from the children, and they were jumping off their seats, just seeing the community that they will now be living in.

When they finally arrived at the massive mansion, which they shall call their home, more praises came from the twins.

"What a beautiful garden!" Remarked Kenzie. "And the house is like a building!"
