Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Cassie rolled her eyes at her daughter’s outburst, she held Bianca’s shoulder guiding her back to the living room where Xander was currently being interrogated by the two little kids..

“Go on.. make up with him” Cassie whispered softly into her daughter’s ear..

This was the first time Bianca had shown interest in a boy, she used to think that her poor daughter would end up all alone in life..

But thankfully, this young gentleman seemed to have caught Bianca’s attention, how could she possibly let them stay apart from each other because of one little fight between them?

Bianca glared at her mum softly “Mum! there’s really nothing between us.. I have never even had a proper conversation with –

Cassie placed a finger to Bianca’s lips hushing her off..

“Shhh baby, I’ve been at a point like this with Nathan, you can’t simply deny your relationship with him, it could break his heart”

Bianca snorted, if that was the case let his heart smash into a billion pieces, she really didn’t care a teeny weeny bit about it…

Kelvin placed a hand on his hips peering curiously at Xander..

“Aren’t you scared of being beaten again by aunt? why are you here?”

Xander looked around him, luckily for him Cassie and Bianca were quite a distance away from them..

His face flushed in embarrassment, no doubt that he was Damien’s offspring, the dude was beginning to rub himself all over his son..

*I guess it runs in the blood*

Back at Chicago…

All throughout the dinner, Damien watched Jeremy and Olivia chat nonstop without bothering to include him in the conversation..

Whenever he tried to start up a conversation with them, he ends up getting ignored and he had had enough of it!

“Hey!”

The two turned their heads to him when he suddenly yelled out, Olivia snapped a brow, obviously waiting to hear whatever he had to say…

“Is something wrong?” she asked mockingly with a blank expression on her face..

Damien moved his seat backwards and suddenly stood up to his feet with a cold glare directed at them, most especially at Jeremy..

“We have to discuss some things pertaining the meeting tomorrow.. I hope you don’t mind that Jeremy?”

Jeremy shook his head hurriedly “Of course I don’t!”

Damien gave a short nod to see Olivia rise up to her feet after which Jeremy followed suite, he stretched forth his hand towards Damien with a wide grin..

“It was nice meeting you again after so many years.. I hope we can hang out again in the nearest future” Jeremy uttered..

“Most definitely!”

Jeremy retracted his hand from Damien and stretched it towards Olivia who was about to accept it only to be pulled away by Damien..

“We’ll be on our way now… bye”

***

Damien snapped his gaze everywhere except Olivia’s direction, he could feel her amber eyes burning through the side of his face..

They were currently in the elevator going up to their room..

“You’ve been staring at me for two minutes now.. do you have something to tell me?”

“Yes!” she replied curtly with a sharp glare, she wasn’t a fool not to have notice everything he had been doing back there at the restaurant..

He had tried several time to sabotage the conversation between her and Jeremy..

“Are you that upset to see me happy? I was finally having a good time with someone who had positive vibes.. and you had to ruin it”

Damien snorted at her reply, if there was one thing he knew well about Jeremy, then it would be his reputation of dating girls and then dumping them right after he had gotten what exactly he wanted..

“He was obviously flirting with you.. but you were so engrossed in whatever boring conversation you were having to notice that!”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Olivia’s lips parted with a sigh “So? how does this affect you? it’s my life isn’t it? sooner or later I’ll find a very good man for Kelvin and I and then we would live our little lives happily-

No sooner had the words fell out of her lips, she felt her back pressing against the wall of the elevator, he placed one of his arm a little above her head caging her..

“Really? get a good man for yourself and Kelvin? when I’m very much alive?”

Olivia corked a brow at him before docking out of his arm cage..

“You’re not my taste in men.. Mr Sterling”

Damien was left speechless, he was Damien Sterling! every ladies dream! how dare she say that to his face so boldly?

He was just about to retort when the elevator’s doors opened with a small ding..

She stepped out without waiting for him, he thought so highly of himself! he needed to understand that not all ladies were dying to stand next to him as a wife..

Most especially not her..

*Are you really sure?*

***

Aldrin stared at his wife’s back as she sat in front of the mirror taking off her earrings..

She stared at his reflection from the mirror and creased her brows in worry, she turned around the seat to face him..

“Do you want to say something honey?”

Aldrin inhaled deeply with a nod, he wanted to say a lot and probably ask a few questions too, today his father had mentioned something which troubled him greatly..

He felt like they were keeping something away from him that he needed to know, and to think that his dad was able to use that to blackmail Anita further added to his suspicion..

He loved his wife dearly and he wouldn’t trade anything for her, but right now he was suspicious of her, he knew he was wrong to suspect her and he so much hated this feeling..

“My dad mentioned something about our marriage today.. is there something you’re keeping away from me?”

Anita gulped down the huge bile rising up in her throat, she raised her hand to the back of her ear itching it with a small smile..

“Yes.. I’m keeping something away from you.. I know you’d be mad if I tell you about it and probably won’t talk to me for a day or two.. and I can’t risk it, I love you a lot to tell you about it”

She replied nonchalantly and turned back to the mirror leaving Aldrin’s question hanging..

“Well people who love one another don’t keep things away from the other” Aldrin pointed out..

Anita turned to face him once more, she folded her arm beneath her bossom sending him a mean look..

“Now you’re making it sound like I’m head over heels in love with you..”

“Of course you are” he interjected

Anita stood up from her seat and took steps forward to him..

“I’m not ready to part ways with you.. so I’ll zip my lips, I really can’t tell you honey.. I’m afraid you’ll see me as a bad person”

*Huh? you already are*

“Sure whatever”

She leaned down to his sitting figure to plant a kiss on his lips, their faces were only inches apart when the door was suddenly pushed open as Alexa stepped in..

Her face scrunched as if she just saw a nasty thing, she pulled out her tongue dramatically like she was about to throw up..

Anita turned around heading to the mirror to continue what she was doing earlier on….

Aldrin diverted his gaze towards his daughter who was ransacking his drawer looking for something, this was a bad habit of her’s, always coming in at the wrong time..

He was sure that she was the reason he didn’t have a third child..

“What are you searching for?” He asked rising up to his feet.

“Your wallet, I’m hanging out with my friends tonight and I need some bills”

Anita turned back to face the two, she spotted Aldrin pulling out his wallet when he was supposed to ask the obvious question..

“Since when have you started taking money from your dad’s wallet and also.. I noticed you don’t shop anymore.. Aldrin when was the last time you received a debit alert?”

Alexa’s face paled, she watched her dad go through his phone checking for something before he raised his head to her in surprise..

“It’s been a few days since I received one.. is something wrong?” he asked Alexa feeling a little bit surprised..

Anita pointed her hair brush at her daughter’s face..” What happened to your card? you aren’t low on funds either or are you?”

Alexa gulped down nervously staring back and forth between her parents..
