Samantha opened her eyes as the sun lights fall in the room through the sheer curtains. She rubbed her eyes and woke up from the bed. She turned to see Anna but she was found nowhere.

"Anna..." Samantha called as she got up from the bed and walked out of the room to downstairs.

​​

"Mom... Dad... Where is Anna?" Samantha asked as she walked downstairs. Liam and Cassandra looked up at Samantha as they sip their coffees.

"Why are you worrying? She is outside... Playing with few guards." Cassandra said making Samantha frown.

"What?" Samantha asked and Cassandra nodded.

Samantha sighed as she walked out and saw Anna playing with few of guards. They all are laughing with Anna seeing her cute talking and few are playing with her toys but seeing Samantha they all stood straight and stopped laughing.

"Sorry, Ms. Julie. This will not repeat again." The guard said and Samantha looked at Anna.

Anna looked up at everyone and frowned. Then, she looked at Samantha. Anna got up and walked towards Samantha.

"Mumma, don't scare them... Like Dada does!" Anna said and Samantha raised her eyebrows at Anna.

"What? I.. I am scaring them?" Samantha asked.

"Yes. You do! Look at them... They look so scared of seeing you. They even stopped playing with me!" Anna answered.

"Oh my..." Samantha said.

"Alright... Let's ask them if I am sacring them or not!" Samantha said and Anna nodded. Anna walked towards the guard and held his shirt.

"My Mumma is scaring you right?" Anna asked making the guard smile. The guard got down on his knees to Anna's level and shook his head in No.

"No, Anna. Ms. Julie is not scaring us. This is the respect we give her!" The guard answered.

"Respect?" Anna asked and the guard nodded.

"Yes." The guard answered.

"Then, you will not play with me anymore? I have no friends here... Wouldn't you become my new friends?" Anna asked and the guard looked down.

"They will play with you, Anna but first... You need to get fresh... You are totally covered in mud. Where did you play, sweetheart?" Samantha asked as she got down to Anna's level.

"We have a beach in the backyard... We all went there and played until now, Mumma." Anna answered cutely making Samantha sigh.

"How do you know there is a beach in the backyard? Who told you?" Samantha asked.

"It's visible from your bedroom, Mumma. When I woke up... I saw the beach. Grandpa came with me to the beach too... I, Grandpa and guard uncle played a lot." Anna answered making Samantha laugh out loud.

"Fine... Let's get you fresh now." Samantha said and Anna nodded her head.

"Guard uncle... I will come back. We will again play at the beach." Anna said to guards and the guards nodded their heads with a smile. Samantha got up on her feet and grabbed Anna's hand.

"Did you all had your breakfast?" Samantha asked.

"Yes, Ms. Julie." The guard answered and Samantha nodded with a smile. Anna waved at them all and they all waved her back as Samantha and Anna walked inside.

"What the hell? Who is she?" Alexi asked as she walked downstairs pointing her finger at Anna?

"Don't joke in the early morning. She is Anna." Cassandra answered.

"Oh my... Why is she covered in the mud from head to toe then?" Alexi asked making Liam chuckle.

"Even your dad came home like that in the morning. You would have laughed your ass off if you see your dad like that. But Anna looks cute in muddy. But your dad looks like a devil. You know, even you both used to come home like that... You and Samantha play a lot with mud in the backyard of our house and used to play a lot with water. I miss those days... But let me take a picture of Anna." Cassandra said as she grabbed her phone and took a few pictures of Anna as Anna gave her poses for taking pictures.

"Look at her... She is giving poses covered in mud." Alexi said.

"You did the same when you are at her age... Even worst!" Cassandra counted back making Alexi groans.

"Huh? No, I don't think so, because I don't remember it..." Alexi said.

"She will not remember it too..." Cassandra replied making Alexi huff.

Samantha laughed at their bickering and shook her head.

"Sam, go and shower Anna." Cassandra said and Samantha nodded her head.

"Nooo..." Anna said as she released herself from Samantha's grip and walked towards Cassandra.

"I want to send this picture to Dada." Anna said making Cassandra chuckle.

"Noooo..." Samantha replied and Cassandra looked at her.

"No, Mom... Please." Samantha said and looked at Anna.

"She will not send any pictures to anyone... Let's shower you now... Come with me." Samantha said as she walked towards Anna.

"No... Grandma, send those pictures to Dada." Anna replied making Samantha frown.

"He will yell at me for letting you play like this..." Samantha said and everyone laughed at her and Samantha sighed.

"Noo. He will not. He will say, I am cute. Grandma, send them to dada." Anna said.

"Love, I already sent them to your Dada." Cassandra replied making Samantha's eyes widened.

"Mom..." Samantha said and Cassandra shrugged.

"Can't help it... She looks damn cute!" Cassandra replied making Samantha sigh.

Just then, Cassandra's phone rang.

"Here... You're soon to be husband is calling me..." Cassandra said as she handed her mobile to Samantha.

"No... I... I am not answering it..." Samantha replied.

"Let me answer then." Alexi said making Samantha's eyes widened.

"No... Let me answer it..." Samantha replied as she sighed.

"Ohhh..." Alexi said with a smirk and took the phone from Cassandra.

"You... Come with me." Samantha said as she grabbed Anna's hand and started taking her upstairs.

"My phone?" Cassandra asked.

"Will return you in a few minutes." Samantha answered and she swipes her finger answering the call.

"Hello..." Samantha said on the phone as soon as she answered the call.

"Samantha?" Johnson asked.

"Yes..." Johnson didn't let her finish the sentence.

"What the hell is wrong with my daughter?" Johnson yelled on the phone making Samantha sigh. Knowing that very well that Johnson doesn't like Anna to he covered in mud as he doesn't at all like the mud.
