Capítulo 2: Search for the Young Miss 2
Three weeks later,
"Ahem* Mommy!" James crossed his arms and stared at his mother with anger.
Adriana laughed nervously. "I-" The words she had stuck in her throat. "Mommy, you promised you would not stay overtime again!" He gave her an accusing glare.
Adriana sighed, and she closed the door behind her. She looked at all the servants staring at them with silly smiles. They were very intrigued at the scene of their young master scolding their Madam for staying overtime at work today.
She handed her coat and purse to one of the maids, and she carried her heels in her hands. "It's an important project I had. I'm sorry I promise it won't happen again." She told him and pulled out her pinky.
"Promise?" He asked, not convinced. "Promise, and if I break it, I will tell you what your father's name is." She smirked. James pouted, and he too pulled out his pinky. Whenever she would make a promise, she would use the name of his father. He knew that she would not tell him the name of his father, so that meant she would not break her promise.
"Now come on. Mommy wants to watch some movies with her little prince." She pinched his cheek, and she carried him up the stairs. She opened her bedroom door and placed him on the edge of her bed.
"Turn on the tv I will go change into some PJs," She told him, and James nodded. He picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
"CEO Noah Preston of LABELS abruptly canceled the runway show in Paris for some unknown reason. Rumors say this was because their designer quit and ran off with his designs after finding out that he would be competing with the mysterious designer JUSTINE's work. Although LABELS has not confirmed these rumors, many of the models are admitting that they are true. All of this leaves us to wonder if a possible rivalry might be happening soon?"
"Wow, mommy is so cool! She makes everyone run away." He laughed, mocking the designer the person on the TV mentioned.
James turned up the volume with curiosity. When he saw the man's face being mentioned as the CEO of LABELS by the reporter, he furrowed his eyebrows. "He looks just like me…" He mumbled.

The TV went black. He turned to look at his mother's poker face. "Oops, it seems I tripped on the cable and unplugged it." She laughed. She knelt and connected the tv again. She took the controller from his hand and switched the channel. She signed in her account and gave him back the controller. "You can choose a movie today." She smiled at him and headed inside her walk-in closet.
James observed her closely. 'Mommy is acting weird again. Humph!' He picked out a random movie, and he waited for her to appear once again.
Inside her walk-in closet, Adriana sighed in relief. 'I don't mind him knowing I have a son, but you look too alike. It will be difficult to convince him that you are not his. They will take you away from me, James. I'm sorry, but no matter how powerful I am, I can't stop his family from taking you away.'
She relaxed her tense shoulders and brushed her hair. She removed her makeup and went back inside the room. She turned off the lights and signaled James to lay down. Since he was already in his PJ's, James laid down on the bed comfortably and waited for his mother's embrace.
"Madam, I'm sorry to disturb your night, but we have found the Young Miss!" One of the servants knocked on the door excitedly. Adriana froze. James paused the movie, and he looked at his mother with happiness.
"Mommy, I will finally meet my sister!" He cheered. Adriana smiled. "Yes! Finally." She brought him back into her embrace, and she kissed his forehead. "Stay here; I will discuss the details and inform you later." She told him, and James reluctantly stayed in the room.
Adriana pulled a robe over her body, and she walked out of the room. "Where?" She asked as soon as she came out.
"The young miss was sent to an orphanage by the doctor who took care of you while you gave birth to the twins." The man informed her, and her eyes turned cold. She walked down the stairs while he followed behind her.
"Sit down and explain properly." She ordered him. She crossed one leg over the other, and she anxiously waited for him to explain.
"Ms.Brooklyn paid the doctor to kill her, but he felt guilty and sent her to an orphanage instead. Thankfully the young Miss was adopted by a kind grandma, and she has been taken care of her well. She is currently in New York, going to kindergarten." He explained. He shivered when he felt the icy aura coming from his Madam.
"Pack up. We are leaving for New York tomorrow morning." She told him. "I want the name of who adopted her, the school name and address. I want everything pictures everything." She ordered him, and she headed to her room.
"Yes, Madam, right away!"
Adriana opened the bedroom door, and she gave James a reassuring smile. "James, you will stay here in the Villa. I will go to New York for a few days, and I will bring your sister back." She told him
"No! I want to go to." He replied stubbornly. Her face held seriousness. "This is not a request, nor is it an option. You will stay here, and that's an order!" She confronted him sternly. James lowered his head with tears in his eyes.
Adriana massaged her temple. "Baby, please cooperate with me. I will bring your sister to you soon. Your aunt Crysty will bring you to New York after she ends her shoot this weakened." She comforted him.
James smiled with sadness, and he hugged her tightly. "I will miss you, mommy…" He whispered, and she patted his head tenderly. "I know. I will miss you too. Don't worry. We will see each other soon." She kissed his forehead and walked inside her walk-in closet.
She pulled out a suitcase, and she opened it up. It already her clothes. She placed the briefcase on her bed, and she walked towards the tv. She pressed a few buttons on the remote controller, and the tv slowly disappeared from their sight.
Behind it, a small opening appeared. Adriana pressed her palm against it, and for it to scan her handprint. A green light flashed, and a door opened.
Adriana went inside the secret room. The room walls were white, and it had weapons, files, money, and designs. It contained some of her wealth. She picked out a few sketches and some money. She shoved it inside a bag, and she placed it in her suitcase. She then closed the door, and the tv appeared once again in its original position.
James watched her silently. "Mommy, should I hack into LABELS?" He asked innocently, and she chuckled. "Baby, that's too ahead of your capabilities. Besides, I have already hacked into their system before signing the partnership contract." She explained.
"I wish I were of help." He pouted. "You can help me by staying here safely." She answered and zipped the suitcase close.
He jumped from the bed and headed outside with a pout. "Humph!" He closed the door behind him and headed towards his bedroom.
