His Devious Rule

Alighting the private jet at the airport, the couple and Zane were proceeding to exit when Rob reported, "President Matthews, the airport departure is completely blocked by the media and crowd." So people wouldn\'t let them go without an interview.

Alvin teased Anya with a straight face, "Should I order coffee for everyone?" He hissed and corrected himself, "Or open a kitchen for you?"

Anya pinched his stomach in response. Zane spoke on behalf of her, "Momma gave an interview so that she could ignore the media." He adjusted his mask and shot the look of daggers at his father.

Alvin and Rob: "..."

They hadn\'t thought of it that way. If she ignores the media everywhere, she would be considered rude. Zane will get sad if he reads anything against Anya.

Now that she gave an interview in her hometown, she doesn\'t have to face the outlandish reporters and their twisted questions in the city.

Anya smiled and kissed her son\'s cheek, "Baby, I and Alvin will come through the main exit. It won\'t be safe for you. Will you please go with Uncle Rob? I will see you at Oasis mansion." Zane doesn\'t have to visit the police agency.

"Err-" Rob knew there were four exits and both were crowded. He guessed, "Is there a secret exit?" He had never heard of it before.

By the end of his words, they saw a man in uniform, salute to Anya, "Officer Owen."

Anya nodded at the man in response. She had dropped a message asking for an escort for her baby using her job connection.

Although Zane hated to accept, he knew he was little and Anya would be worried for his safety if there was a commotion at the exit. He obediently agreed and went next to Rob.

"Momma, why are you going through the main exit?" They could also go with him and escape the crowd.

Anya patiently explained even if it was difficult to understand by her darling son at that age, "If I leave secretly, the media will think Alvin cheated on me so I don\'t want to appear with him." And their article would make Zane further sad.

Zane was nodding in understanding, Anya hugged him, "Don\'t worry, my young handsome, there will be a lot of airport security and cops to escort me and Alvin to the car. You may watch it on your iPad if it\'s live telecasted."

Before Zane could say something, Alvin tugged her away, saying, "Why are you flirting with another man?" He squinted his eyes at her.

Anya: "..."

Zane flashed his father a sly smile and responded to Anya, "Zane will listen to his beautiful mommy." He stuck his tongue out at his father and followed the airport staff with Rob.

Alvin was speechless hearing his little enemy flirting with his wife who was giggling.

Anya passed a facemask for Alvin who pushed her hand away, "Everyone will think I broke your lips." And they would make the story of Anya hit Alvin hearing the cheating news.

Alvin ignored her remark and continued to walk towards the exit while the people around them were taking their pictures, precisely Anya\'s picture.

Why should he hide his handsome face because of the little mark on his lips? He wouldn\'t let anybody have thought of taking his Little Donut from him.

Anya shoved the mask back in her jacket. She nodded at the security chief of the airport who greeted her and the security staff formed a human chain around them.

The duo silently walked out hearing the non-stop flickering of the cameras and questions from the reporters. Many questions failed to make out of the commotion of the crowd.

A few questions caught the couple\'s ears

"Mrs. Matthews, did you resign to become Dean of Imperial University?"

"Why did Gianna Matthews try to kidnap your son?"

"Why were you pregnant at 20?"

"Was it a pregnancy out of wedlock?"

"Were you married due to your pregnancy?\'

"Doesn\'t your husband love you?"

Some questions were at Alvin, "Alvin Matthews, who is the woman from the picture?"

"Why did you cheat on your wife?"

"What is your motive behind buying Matthews shares?"

"How could you send your mother to prison?"

"Does your wife have no problem having a mistress?"

"Is it because of your money?"

"How did you get bruised?"

"Is your wife violent with you?"

Anya, who ignored the questions, controlled her expression when she heard if she was violent. Oh yeah, she had bit his lips assuming he was again going to tease her. She didn\'t expect his lips to be bruised.

Alvin didn\'t like when the reporters were framing Anya as a gold digger. They had almost reached the car when he paused. Anya had to halt as they were holding hands.

Glancing at the reporter who asked him how he was bruised, he responded as he turned to Anya, "I have Wild Kitten at home that likes to bite me." He flashed a tempting smirk looking at Anya.

Anya: "..."

Anya could feel her cheeks flame at his response. She couldn\'t believe he ignored all the questions and responded to the embarrassing question.

Were reporters foolish not to understand what he meant? She wanted to disappear.

She was trying to flee when a few young ladies caught her attention holding bouquets and a congratulations board.

Alvin followed her line of sight. Everything has both positive and negative consequences. Her fame might have attracted too much negative attention at first but there was also positiveness. He let go of her hand and let her experience the encouraging and optimistic people.

Anya hesitantly went closer as she saw them beam. Ignoring the questions, she received a few bouquets, heard the wishes, and thanked them.

Her eyes brushed over the crowd where many common people were looking at her in admiration. Seeing the people call her selfish, she hadn\'t thought there could be so many who waited just to get a glimpse of her.

Her eyes halted at Alvin, who watched her affectionately, patiently waiting for her, without getting irritated. Seeing him extend his hand for her, Anya softly bowed her head at the crowd and jogged back to Alvin.

The Rolls Royce left the airport. Alvin watched her gazing at the bouquets that were on the shotgun seat. "What does fame feel like?"

Anya shrugged her shoulders, "I don\'t know." She doubted if she deserved the attention and admiration.

"Goofball."

….

At the police agency,

Skylark guards and the cops escorted the couple inside. Alvin and Anya were heading towards captain Joseph\'s office when a middle-aged man blocked them.

He spoke politely in a low voice, "Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, I would like to speak with you before you give your statements." He passed her a file by the end of his words.

Anya knew he was the legal head of Matthews Industries.  She flipped open the file and her expression hardened immediately. Alvin\'s face darkened when his eyes brushed over the content of the file.
