Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia pulled her gaze away from his piercing stare, now she got why he was being so nice, the dummy wanted something else in return..

“I’m very serious Olivia.. are you willing to give me that chance?”

She cleared her throat suddenly feeling uncomfortable with the question he just asked, a thought like this had never crossed her mind, or maybe it did..

“Damien.. this is all too sudden.. I get that you want to be a part of Kelvin’s life but we don’t necessarily have to be together for that to happen”

“I don’t want you to be only my son’s mum.. I want more” He declared

Olivia went loss for words, she simply remained quiet and stared out of the glass all throughout the ride to God knows where..

Aldrin shook his head at the cream colored gown Anita was flaunting in front of him, she placed a hand on her hips while lifting up her head proudly..

“No..”

Anita sighed and dropped her hand to her side, this was the fifth outfit she had tried out and she has been getting the same reply over and over again from him..

“Come on honey! I’m tired of putting on dresses only to get a single worded response from you!”

Aldrin’s eyes roamed around the mannequins that wore various designers gowns..

His eyes settled on a mannequin on a red gown with a gold colored embroidery, he stared back at Anita allowing his eyes to rake her figure…

He turned to the lady next to him and pointed to the mannequin..

“We’ll take that.”

Anita’s eyes widened in awe, how come that piece missed her eyes..

She turned to her husband who had a grin on his face, this was a very pretty gown, she’d definitely outshadow her father-in-law tomorrow evening at the grand celebration..

“It’s pretty! I’ll take that”

The genuine smile on her face died down when a lady touched that same dress examining it, she turned to the sales assistant approaching her..

“I’ll take this”

A sigh escaped Aldrin’s lips as soon as he recognized who that lady was, he wasn’t honestly ready to witness one of their brawls again..

It felt more awkward now that he knew what transpired all those years ago and the reason for the women’s banter..

“Umm ma’am.. this has been sold out.. this piece has been sold too”

Tracy’s eyes narrowed down at Anita who was approaching her with an annoyed expression, funny enough how they both shared the same taste in clothes..

“What are you waiting for? wrap it up!”

Tracy sneered and pulled out her card, she handed it to the sales assistant..

“I’ll pay double of what she intends to pay you” Tracy declared with a hint of mockery in her voice.

“You wouldn’t dare! my husband picked that dress for me.. and if you think that I’ll let it go, then you’re mistaken!”

Tracy faced Anita once more with a glare, she took a step forward to the latter with her hands beneath her bossom..

“You never miss a chance to snatch things that are not yours! that’s just one of your bad habits Anita Sterling.. and it’s really disgusting”

Anita gasped out in shock at Tracy’s words, she took a step forward ready to launch an attack only to be held back by Aldrin..

“I’ll make sure I wipe off her ugliness out in a second!” She screeched trying to break free from Aldrin’s hold on her..

Alexa raked her hand through her shoulder length hair, she was low on funds since Damien hadn’t unfreezed her cards..

And her only option had been locked up behind bars, tomorrow was her grandfather’s celebration which meant that she’d have to wear one of her old dresses..

Her ringtone pulled her out of her thoughts, she raised it to her face a little and was a bit surprised by the name that flashed on her screen..

“What is it? the party is tomorrow not today! stop bugging me with your annoying calls! I’m not your girlfriend-

“Hold on you little spoilt princess! you never told me that a wealthy man’s suit was that expensive! I was mocked at the mall today.. so you better send me some cash to buy an outfit otherwise.. I’m not showing up!” An anger laced tone retorted at the other end..

Alexa laughed out loud like he just dropped a joke, she herself hasn’t gotten a dress for the occasion, what made him think that she would buy one for him?

“Just shut up okay?! I paid you half of the money.. buy what you need from that money.. you’ll only get the other payment once the task has been completed! now buzz off!” she yelled in frustration and threw her phone on her bed..

All these wouldn’t have happened if Damien hadn’t freezed all her cards, that was so inhumane of him! all because of a lady and her son?!

*Not really*

There was only one choice left, she inhaled deeply and stepped out of the room..

Right now Becky wasn’t home, which made her task easier..

She pushed the door open and stepped into the room after making sure that no one was around to spot her..

Sandy stared at the invite in her palm with a large grin on her face, they were invited to the birthday celebration of Bernard Sterling..

“Bianca! come and take a look at this..”

Bianca strode out of the kitchen with a bored expression on her face..

She accepted the invite Sandy was stretching forth to her..

“You know this won’t be good right? there’s bound to be a scene over there.. I’m very sure that event would be covered by the press..”

Sandy shrugged, well that was better, if the press were to find out about Damien having a son, then that would speed up the process she and Anita have been plotting all along..

She snatched the invite from Bianca’s hold “Let me have it! there’s no need for you to be a party pooper.. Olivia isn’t a fool.. she has a response for every question thrown at her..”

Bianca groaned out in frustration, this wouldn’t turn out good and she knew it..

“Aunt.. think about this thoroughly.. this won’t end well”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Come on Bianca.. just think about the food and drinks and all those wealthy people.. it would be magical and also there would be lots of potential groom waiting over there” Sandy cooed trying to convince the hardened heart of Bianca..

“Nice try.. I’m very sure Kelvin would support me on this one”

“No aunt… I think grandma is right! I’ll get to see daddy’s mum and dad..” Kelvin imputed..

They turned their attention to him, he had a blue helmet on his head while he stood next to his blue bike..

“And where are you off to young man?” Bianca asked curiously folding her arm beneath her bossom..

“I’m having a bike race with Kiara today..”

“okay baby.. stay safe alright?”

“Ok aunt.. bye” he waved at Bianca as he rolled the bike out of the living room..

Not too long after he left, the doorbell rang..

Bianca and Sandy exchanged brief glances before turning to the door, whenever their doorbell rings it was always trouble or danger mixed with trouble..

Bianca opened the door to see two men in black peering straight at her, oh! just like she had thought, she arched a brow at their closeness with the door, one more inch and they’ll be the door itself..

“And you are?”

They parted ways to reveal the person standing behind them who had a gentle gaze on her face..

Bianca’s brows shot up in wonderment, this was another unexpected guest she wasn’t expecting from the Sterling’s..

“May I come in?”
