Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia’s heart made a backflip movement, just why on earth does he make her feel this way whenever he was around?

“What happened last night?” She asked right back not willing to give him a chance to have the upper hand..

She didn’t want him to know how much she was affected by last night’s incident, she’d never hear the end of it..

“And just so we’re on the right page Mr Sterling.. we only made a deal to fake our engagement and not for you to –

“Touch you?”

Damien raised his hand to her face pushing a little amount of hair resting on her face behind her ear..

“I never made that promise or did I?”

She blinked her eyes twice, why was he suddenly being so shameless and weird?

Alexa crouched down picking up a piece of clothing with the tip of her fingers, her face scrunched in disgust..

“Eww.. so disgusting!”

She entered the apartment a while ago, everywhere was a bit dusty and smelly.. so much for being a Sterling huh?

She placed her trunk carefully on a table which creaked softly rocking back and forth due to the weight of her trunk..

It would take her two whole days to clean this place up, given she hadn’t done any chores in her life..

She practically sucks at everything except spending money and getting mad every single time..

“Great! thanks a lot Olivia! you’ve managed to turn my life around”

Sighing, she proceeded to clean up the whole dusty apartment, she hadn’t taken a step further when two mouse appeared out of nowhere with one chasing the other..

A loud shriek escaped her mouth before she found herself jumping on the old couch which made weird noises..

A hurried knock came on the door diverting her attention, her heart leaped out in joy, she was sure that was Damien, he was here to take her back home..

With that thought in mind, she hopped down from the couch and made her way to the door, she pulled it open with so much glee in her eyes only for it to die back down..

A miserable looking old lady came in view, Alexa arched a brow wondering who she was..

The old lady’s jade eyes fell on Alexa, her hair was surprisingly all white in color without a single black strand in sight..

On her left hand, a walking stick was visible, obviously to support her movement, she looked really weak which made Alexa wonder how she was able to walk about..

But Alexa wasn’t the least happy to see a strange old lady standing in front of her door..

“Is this what you beggars do now? going around knocking on random people’s door?! ” She fired in irritation..

After pouring out her frustration towards the innocent old lady, she slammed the door shut with a loud huff..

She took a step forward ready to go resume cleaning her room but then the knock came again, her chest heaved up in anger..

“That old woman!” she groaned out making her way to the door once more..

She pulled it open with her lips parted ready to lash out only for her to wince out in pain when she felt a rough object hitting her leg..

“You-

Alexa snapped her gaze back to the old lady in surprise..Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“You mannerless child! I’ve been prepped about you.. and I see that you need a lot of fixing before the year runs out!”

Shocked and surprised at the old lady’s domineering tone and attitude, Alexa gulped down nervously..

Here she thought the oldie was a weak woman who could die any second but she was totally wrong, because in the next second, she was shoved aside by the woman who walked into her apartment..

And worse of it all, she wasn’t even using her walking stick..

Bianca reached for the box of juice at the shelf placing it into a trolley she was moving around with Kelvin in it..

Poor dude looked so down because Kiara didn’t come along with them.

“Cheer up baby.. She had to go to school”

“I know.. but I miss her, can I go along with her tomorrow?”

She ruffled his hair a bit with a small nod just to cheer him up..

The hair falling by the side of her face was suddenly swept behind her ears, she turned around swiftly only to crash into a firm build..

Her sensitive nose perceived the familiar masculine scent of the one single person who manages to ruin her day by just breathing..

“Hey pretty” His deep voice resounded in her ears, he didn’t miss the anger that flashed past her eyes..

“Can you please vanish completely and stop ruining my mornings?”

Xander chuckled, he took the handle of the trolley shoving Bianca aside gently..

“You asked me a question a day ago.. and left before I could give a response”

She heaved a deep breath recalling that akward moment she said those words to him, she had no idea of what came over her that day..

She reached for a pack of candy bars placing them into the trolley the tall nosy fellow beside her was pushing around..

“Well I didn’t want to hear your response.. you’re way too annoying to look at”

“Uncle.. aunt doesn’t like weak boys, and you’re very weak, you always wear a long face whenever she hits you and –

Xander placed a palm over the kid’s mouth, he mentally cursed Damien, this kid definitely inherited all of the latter’s trait..

“He’s not wrong in a way Mr Gray.. go find something better to do”

“Are you scared that I might actually blow off your mind if you give me a chance? you’re scared just admit it”

Bianca stopped on her tracks, she snapped him a look..

“I’d literally fall for any man on earth except you.. so what’s the point of giving you a chance? I’ve got better things to do” She said sternly..

Not willing to give up on his pursuit, he took hold of her arm and pulled her to stand close enough to him..

He turned her back against him while his hand settled on her slender waist, Kelvin’s eyes went wide, no man had ever touched his aunt inappropriately and lived without a broken bone or two…

It was a good thing this section wasn’t really crowded, all people saw was a lovely cute couple acting all lovey dovey..

“Xander! what are you doing?!” She gritted trying to pull his arms around her waist, and what was with those looks and smiles she was receiving from people around?

Xander leaned down to her ear and whispered in a husky voice..

“I can definitely blow your mind Bianca.. just give me a chance”
