Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Anita’s lips curved upward as the flashy blue gem flashed on her face, she ran a finger over the ring before taking it out of the box..

Aldrin had made her wait for so long before he eventually gave this to her, whereas, he didn’t ask before she gave him his present..

“I love it…”

He sighed in relief, he was glad that she didn’t recognize the ring, but deep down he felt guilty, guilty that he forgot about their wedding anniversary..

“I’m glad that you do”

He collected the ring from her and slid it on her finger which she stretched out to him..

The sound of heels hitting the marbled floor pulled them out of the little world they had created for a brief moment..

“Elder Sterling!”

Anita frowned hard, that voice sounded really familiar to her, and she was right because Tracy’s slender figure came in view..

“Tra-

Anita shot Aldrin a narrowed gaze forcing the words back down his throat, he simply waved at her which she didn’t bother to return..

Well not like he cared exactly, but why was she here?

Bernard graced the living room with his presence as he came down the stairs majestically, he had a straight look on his face not the least surprised to see her here..

“Elder Sterling, I’ve always respected and considered you as my father but your silence is ruining my daughter’s life and I can’t stay still any longer”

Anita’s eyes rolled, her daughter this, her daughter that, what about her? Alexa had been gone for two days now and she had not questioned Damien’s judgement..

The girls deserved whatever they were receiving currently..

“And what are we supposed to do about that?!”

Anita questioned rising up to her feet, she walked closer to the latter who had a smug expression on her face obviously not expecting her to butt in..

“His granddaughter is also facing the consequence of her actions! so your cheap method of blackmail won’t work here” She added before swiping her hair to the back with a snort..

Bernard who was now standing few metres away from them cleared his throat, the least they could do was to have some decency in his presence..

They are constantly at each other’s throat whenever they met..

“You feel that your daughter has been wronged? after what she did? have you forgotten that my family’s reputation is what I cherish the most? Alexa is also facing her punishment..”

Tracy shoved Anita aside as the latter was currently blocking her from having a proper view of the old man..

“Anita” Aldrin called out standing up to his feet, from the look on Anita’s face, she was ready to sniff the life out of Tracy at the moment..

He quickly scooped her into his arms afraid that she might attack Tracy..

“You’re lucky I’m in a good mood today Tracy! otherwise I’d have broken your crunchy bones!” She barked..

Bianca raised her phone to her ear after a while of contemplating, Mrs Gray left a while ago and she still found it difficult to call that jerk..

What was the use of locking himself up in his room? was he like five or six? even Kelvin and Kiara wouldn’t do that..

“Pick up the phone you dummy!” she gritted impatiently..

Meanwhile at the other end..

Xander sat up from his bed, he turned down the volume of his TV when he heard his phone’s familiar ringtone..

The unfamiliar number flashed on his screen, in the last few days, he had received numerous calls from different strange numbers..

Those of which turned out to be his past chics, they suddenly wanted an explanation after he declared an end to their relationship..

He dropped his phone beside him and resumed watching the business news on his TV..

The call came again which he ignored, it rang for a few more times at this point he was already annoyed by the constant noise..

He grabbed the ringing device and placed it against his ear..

“I’ve told you times without number that I don’t want anything to do with you anymore! don’t call me at-

Bianca’s brows furrowed at the other end, his voice seemed far okay for someone who was depressed like his mum had quoted it..

“Oh.. they’re that much that you don’t even keep count of them?”

Xander jerked out of his bed, was it his hearing or did that just sound like Bianca? but why would she even call him? she was mad at him and she had also warned him to stay far away from her..

“Bianca?”

“Meet me at Caper’s Relish in the next ten minutes, one second late and I’ll break your butt for the second time” She threatened and hanged up with a deep breath..

Sooner or later she’d have to come out of her shell..

Yesterday’s incident made her see things in a different light..

Meanwhile, Xander’s jaw dropped in shock, what just happened?

***

Damien checked the time, it was already past five in the evening..

He got up from his seat and stretched a little, all throughout today, he had been happy..

Why?

Olivia finally took the initiative to give their relationship a chance, but even at that, he still wasn’t feeling at ease and he won’t not until he made her attached to him..

As it stands, she could still fall for someone else and he’d be left alone..

So just to be secure, he was going to make her fall for him..

With that thought in mind, he strode to her compartment where she was busy typing away on her laptop, he recalled the first lesson he had learnt from his new book today..

Olivia who was so carried away failed to notice the figure who just stepped into her office until her laptop was closed down abruptly..

Luckily, her fingers were spared from the sudden bang it made..

A look of fright crossed her face as she snapped her head up, a sigh of relief escaped her lips..

“Why did you do that? I was almost done” She whined trying to pry it open but was stopped by Damien..

Damien shrugged nonchalantly at her question, he walked around her mini desk and stood behind her, his hands fell on her shoulders which stiffened at his touch, but regardless, he massaged it gently..

Olivia was left in shock, what was going on?

“What are you doing?”

He leaned down to her left ear and whispered

“What does it look like to you? you’ve worked so hard for today and I’m only giving you a reward for your hard work..”

She felt a bit weird but his hands worked like magic on her, relaxing every tensed muscle on her shoulder..

“So.. how about spending the weekend with me at my place?”

Olivia’s eyes which were initially closed snapped open, she turned her body to look up at him..

“Don’t get me wrong.. it would just be about you, Kelvin and I.. it’s a great way to bond too”

Her lips twitched, her mind was already clouded with various thoughts, they’d be all alone at his Villa..

“It’s fine if you don’t want to come along.. you can just let Kelvin come over, after all I promised to spend this weekend with him..” he murmured hoping she’d take the bait..

He knew so well that she’d come along if he rephrased his words that way..

“Umm… I’d let you know once I’ve made up my mind”

Damien smiled, he took her purse seated on her desk before stretching his hand to her..

“Come on I’ll give you a ride home” he offered..

Olivia stared down at his outstretched hand then back to his face..
