Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Damien shot her a sharp glare, whatever she had to say was bound to make matters worse, it was already pretty bad that his name was attached to Rihanna’s suicide attempt..

“Did you really have to bring her along? she’s the main reason our marriage won’t happen! she’s the root cause of everything!”

The door opened behind them as Tracy stepped in, she was glad that Damien was here to see her daughter, but instantly her face fell when she laid her eyes of Olivia..

“what are you doing here?!” she seethed in anger, glaring furiously at Olivia..

“It’s not my wish to be here either! you should be more concerned about your daughter, she has really lost her mind!”

Tracy pointed a finger at Olivia’s face ready to bark but was cut shut by an authoritative tone..

“That’s enough!” Damien firmly stated.

“Well you need to tell her to leave this minute! she is the reason Rihanna tried to kill herself in the first place”.

Olivia sneered, she rested her gaze on Rihanna with a hint of mockery in her amber orbs..

“And why didn’t she die?”

Damien took in a deep breath and led the vicious tongued lady out of the room with him, he was right, she only makes things worse..

“Damien!”

Rihanna called out sitting up on her bed, she made an attempt to stand up from the bed only to be held back down by her mum..

“Are you crazy?! what are you trying to do? he’s gone alright? and I’m sure that he’d be back again”

Rihanna wailed out loudly in protest, she had really lost Damien, she had lost.. her cries only intensified..

“I can’t do it mum! I can’t take it, Damien can’t leave me like that!”

Sandy came out of her daze and a low breathless whisper followed suite..

“What?”

Bianca took in a deep breath, she took a glance at Kelvin who was standing a few feet away from them..

“We have to move”

Sandy massaged her temples gently, was moving the best solution? if they really moved to a new location, the Sterling’s will still be able to find out about their whereabouts..

But on a second thought, Damien was Kelvin’s dad, what if he takes Olivia as his wife then the both of them can be protected under his shield..

And finally, her strong headed daughter will settle down..

Judging by the expression on Sandy’s face, Bianca could already piece what the woman was thinking about..

“Olivia doesn’t want that”

“Huh? want what?” Sandy asked confusedly..© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“She doesn’t want anything to do with that family”

Sandy crackled a dry laugh and left for the kitchen. “Time will tell, by the way Bianca.. I met a very dashing young man today when I went to get groceries”

Bianca arched a brow, so? what has this gotten to do with her? oh jeez! she hoped it wasn’t what she was thinking about..

“Okay?”

“Well he was tall and handsome.. and rich too” she chuckled “I think you both might work out well”

Bianca’s eyes momentarily rolled, she wasn’t ready to be the new target of Sandy right now with her numerous blind dates..

“Nope.. thank you”

“Well you don’t have a choice baby, I already gave him your contact information” Sandy added with a little shrug before dashing off to the kitchen..

Bianca’s eyes grew large “What?!”

Olivia took a peek at Damien whose head was resting on the steering wheel, he has been in this position since he got into the car..

She badly wanted to ask questions but his aura said otherwise..

“Well?” She managed to utter..

Damien raised his head and snapped his head to her….

“Where exactly did I go wrong?” He murmured with a hint of sarcasm in his tone which confused Olivia..

“If you really want to know that, I can list it all out for you” She said with a small devilish grin..

Damien snorted and started the car, he was loss for words.. whenever it came to her, he always felt that way..

“Umm.. where are we heading to right now?”

“To the company.. you really didn’t think you will use this as an excuse to get off work do you?”

Olivia sneered resting back on her seat, she stared out of the glass..

“How about this?” Damien murmured hesitating to speak “Let’s go somewhere and have a proper talk, we haven’t really spoken about.. you know? that night.. where we.. umm” he cleared his throat..

“I don’t think that’s necessary…”

“It’s necessary Olivia!”

***

Anita squealed out and stood up to her feet, Aldrin who heard her screams rushed out of the walk-in closet to know what happened..

His heart skipped a beat on seeing his wife’s horrified expression, he could guess something bad must have happened..

“What happened honey?”

Anita slumped back on her seat with a pout, “The last collection of Gucci’s limited dress has been sold out.. and worst of it all it was bought by Tracy!”

Aldrin’s jaw dropped, he gaped at his wife in bewilderment, so that was all? no one died? or is about to..

“Anita.. you scared the life out of me just now.. it’s just a dress you’ll get it another day!”

Her face scrunched into a deep frown, “Stupid Brown’s! and here I thought she’d be by her ugly daughter’s side pacifying her.. she still has enough time to buy a dress!”

Aldrin ran his finger through his hair, he failed to understand the cause of the rivalry between the two women..

“Honey.. that’s no way to speak, she’s still sad about her daughter’s recent suicide attempt.. please don’t make matters worse”

A snort escaped the back of her throat, “Sad my foot! she’s faking!”

“Damien had a hand in it in a way….

She shot him a look before he could even finish his sentence, jeez! that look..

“My son had nothing to do with her suicidal thoughts! if she really wants to die, then let her do it! she’s only seeking his attention.. I know this because I was once in her shoes!”

Aldrin’s brows arched at the sudden revelation from his wife..

“Hmm really?”

Anita blushed red in embarrassment, she recalled how she threw a tantrum to get married to Aldrin, their parents were totally against them, but just like always she had her way..

By blackmailing them, not by crying this time, but by threatening to jump off the roof..

“Well if I hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t have had the best, most beautiful, loving and caring wife like me”

“I think that’s just an over hype” he murmured in sarcasm and strode back casually to the closet..

Anita gasped “Well you’re not that handsome too!”

Damien cleared his throat when he couldn’t bear the awkward silence anymore, he stared out of the large glass window where their table was designated at…

“So?”

Olivia arched a brow “So? are we gonna eat or what? I didn’t have breakfast today after those men took me away”

Her phone rang out on the table, she smiled seeing it was a video call from Bianca..

She accepted it totally disregarding the man seated in front of him..

Immediately Kelvin’s cute face popped up on the screen, her smile broadened even more..

“Hey honey it’s you.. are you alright?”

Kelvin pouted at the other end shaking his head slowly “I’m truly sorry for not being able to protect you from those bad men today”

“Awwnn baby, you don’t have to worry about that”

Damien knew she was talking to Kelvin, he could hear his voice at the other end, he suddenly stood up and sat next to Olivia..

“Daddy is with you!!” his little shrieks pierced through their ears..

Olivia was startled by his sudden movement, she sent him a glare which he ignored..

“How are you doing little man?”

Meanwhile at the other end..

Bianca placed the glass of water on the kitchen’s island, she took a seat next to Kelvin who was on a video call with his mum..

“Look aunt, mummy and daddy are together”

Sandy’s ears picked that little information all the way from the opened kitchen behind them, she dried her hand with a hand towel and sat down at the other side of Kelvin..

Olivia was a bit startled to see her mum’s face popping up next..

“Mum?”

Sandy chuckled wriggling her brows at the two who were turning red..

“It’s good to see you both progressing, I know you two can work things out.. by the way, enjoy your date!”

“It’s not a date…

Before she could complete her sentence the screen went blank..

“What are you smiling about?!”
