Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia stared back and forth between her mum and Bianca who were making things weird, were they silently teasing her red nose?

She brought her hand to touch her nose unconsciously..

“You’re leaving for Chicago with Damien tomorrow?”

Olivia’s face relaxed a bit, she was quite relieved it was something else but this was way worse than her initial thought in the first place..

“Bianca! you little snitch! did you really have to?”

Sandy dropped her cutlery placing both hands under her jaw, she stared dreamily at her daughter who still wasn’t getting what she really meant..

“I’m sorry it slipped out of my mouth..” Bianca sarcastically mumbled stuffing her mouth with bread..

Kelvin looked up to his mum with a wide grin, this meant his mum and dad were turning into friends and very soon they’ll be together..

“There’s no way I’m going to Chicago with him! I’m still recovering from my illness, I’m on a week’s leave and lastly I can’t possibly leave my little boy over here”

Kelvin’s cute face crumpled into a frown “I’ll be fine with aunt and grandma.. you can go alright? don’t worry about me, I’m a big boy now”

Olivia’s face relaxed she planted a kiss on top of his head, clutching onto him tightly, she really can’t go and there was no way anyone would force her..

“You heard that right? you can go! you don’t have to worry about packing your suitcase.. leave that all to me”

Sandy commented rising up to her feet without giving her a chance to refute..

Bianca stood up also with a wide grin, “I’ll help you also by pressing your clothes.. right after I drop them at their school”

Kiara who had been quiet all along looked up to Olivia with a small pout..

“Don’t you want to see Kelvin happy? look at how sad he is now”

Kelvin instantly got where Kiara was driving at, his once soft demeanor changed into an upset one, he sniffed back with a pout..

”I know you’re upset with daddy but please can you go?”

Damien stepped out of the bathroom staring around his room, a towel hung loosely around his waist..

He held another towel wiping his damped hair, he had a feeling that someone was here a while ago and he wondered who it was..

Or perhaps it was one of the servants here to clean his room..

He turned to leave for his closet when he spotted an outfit resting on the bed, a sigh escaped his lips as he instantly knew who was here..

In less than twenty minutes he was already on his way down all dressed up, he took a seat on the dining table expecting his usual breakfast.. black coffee.

A plate of pancakes with maple syrup was placed in front of him, he raised his head to meet his mum’s stern face..

“What were you expecting? a tasteless black coffee?”

Damien shrugged picking up his cutlery, she took a seat next to him feigning anger..

“Alright.. what happened?” he asked with a small grunt, it was still so early for her to start her mini dramas around him..

“Mr Brown is returning back today.. and your grandfather wants us to send our apologies to them.. you know I can’t! I’d never hear the end from Tracy..”

Damien’s lips pulled up into a smile, his mum and Mrs Brown had bad blood between them which obviously wasn’t a new thing.

Going over to the Brown’s mansion to apologize to Tracy was like pushing her off a cliff, infact! she’d rather jump off a cliff than to apologize to anyone especially if that ‘anyone’ was Tracy Brown..

According to his mum, this feud between them started when they were still in their early twenties when she was being forced to get engaged to the heir of the Brown’s which was Rihanna’s and Asher’s dad, Bruce, but she already took a liking to Aldrin..

Her family were against it but as always she had her way and got engaged to Aldrin whose alliance had already been fixed with Tracy when he was out of the country..

Tracy’s engagement to Aldrin had to be called off because of Anita who wanted the ever so hot Aldrin Sterling to herself..

To save herself from embarrassment and humiliation Tracy had no other choice than to get engaged to Bruce..

Damien snorted, his dad wasn’t even aware of any of these twists as he was currently out of the country at that time to know..

He only got back to meet his supposed fiancee and was smitten by her at first glance without prying further..NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

And till this day, they never failed to show how much they loved each other, except that his mum kept this huge secret away from his dad, she had pleaded with him not to mention any of it to his dad after she told him the truth..

“You don’t like it? I can make something different for you”

Damien snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head gently..

“This is great mum.. by the way.. I’ll be leaving for Chicago tomorrow morning for a business meeting, I’ll be back the day before grand father’s birthday party”

Anita’s face fell, she won’t get to see him for two whole days?

“Can’t you just stay? you can always send someone else in your place..”

“It needs my attention urgently.. and also Olivia will be coming along with me too”

Anita sprang up to her feet “Really?!” she asked in a high pitched tone to receive a slow nod from Damien who was staring at her skeptically..

She was always elated to hear Olivia’s name but upset to hear Rihanna’s name? well it seems her judging skills were quite poor..

*That’s his thoughts not mine*

“Well why didn’t you say so in the first place? I’ll go pack your stuff.. enjoy your meal!”

Before a word could slip out of his mouth, she already bolted out of the dining room..

Olivia took a glance at the door, she was currently watching her favorite TV show and was way too comfortable on the couch to get up..

Her mum and Bianca were currently in her room packing her suitcase for a two day trip she wasn’t interested in going to..

“The door is open!” she managed to yell, at this point whoever it might be can walk in freely, she really didn’t care..

She dipped her hand into the bowl filled with chips before stuffing her mouth with a handful..

The door opened as a tall figure walked in with a bouquet of rose in his hand, he walked in light step towards her..

“It seems like you’re feeling well now”

Olivia was startled by the husky male voice that rang behind her, she sat up on the couch and turned around to face the owner of the voice…

“You?”

Her eyes fell on the bouquet of roses he was currently holding..

Damien noticed her attention was suddenly fixated on the roses he brought along with him, he cleared his throat to gain her attention once more which he succeeded in doing..

“This is for you” he forced a smile stretching the bouquet to her..

Olivia arched a brow, why was he suddenly giving her red roses? was there some kind of deadly trap in it?

“Why? I never told you that I needed flowers or I can’t afford to buy one for myself” She murmured arrogantly pushing her hair behind her ears..

Damien’s grip around the bouquet tightened, he was trying to make amends over here by offering her flowers, he was Damien Sterling after all, every girls dream man…

“Well they weren’t for you actually.. I brought them for Kelvin, but I’m a bit late since he already left for school.. so take it on his behalf and make sure nothing happens to it!”

Olivia reluctantly snatched the bouquet from him, resisting the urge to bring it close to her nose..

“Alright! anything else?”

“Pack up.. we’re leaving for Chicago by eight in the morning”

Olivia crossed her arm over her chest “And what if I don’t want to go?”

Damien diverted his attention back to the screen playing in front of them..

“Then I have no other choice than to do that” He nudged his brows pointing at the screen..

Olivia turned to look at the screen behind her and turned red in embarrassment, seeing the couple in the TV sharing a passionate kiss, she turned around ready to lash out at him only to hear the sound of the door closing..

“Did he just try to flirt with me?!”

Her cheeks burned realizing what he meant by that, she suddenly felt hot in the room..

“I thought I heard a man’s voice… and what’s wrong with you?”
