Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia ignored his words and remained seated in the car refusing to budge.

“I won’t step out!”

Damien grunted in annoyance, he gripped the steering wheel hard and started the car once more..

“Suit yourself!”

Olivia turned to him in shock when the car’s acceleration was increased..

“You know? if this car were to crash because of the speed at which you’re moving I won’t be the only one to die”

Seems like her words struck something in his head, he involuntarily reduced his pace, he didn’t want to die now at least not with her..

Who knows? she might be a thorn in flesh even in the after life..

“Good boy”

Xander yawned in boredom as he received a earful from his father..

Mr Gray was just like any typical dad who doesn’t want their kids to throw their lives away, he slammed his palm on the brown mahogany desk separating them..

“I’m talking to you son!”

Xander looked up to his father boredly “haven’t I told you that I’m no longer a kid? I have to enjoy my life to the fullest!”

Mr Benson Gray scowled at the unfilial son speaking about him not being a kid..

“Do you have any idea of how many bad reports I’ve gotten from different bars, hotels or hospitals concerning you?!”

Xander ran his hand through his hair, yikes! he really had a bad reputation but only when it came to two things.. women! and fights! and oh, a little bit extra.. ‘drinking’..

“Dad can you swear on your life that you didn’t do any of these things you mentioned when you were young just like me?”

Benson’s gaze darkened, his knuckles turned into tight fist balls..Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“See? you’ve become speechless, I’ll give you a very good advice dad, let me live my life the way I want it, that way you can get to live longer too”

Benson couldn’t help but feel like there’s an underlying meaning behind his son’s words, however and whatever it may be, he really didn’t care!..

This son of his was irredeemable! he really didn’t bother much because Xander was good in the business world but his reckless habits needed to stop..

“Fine! do whatever you want! and lastly go down to the Brown’s house and apologize for what you did to their son!”

Xander snorted and swirled on his chair, he faced the huge floor to ceiling window in his office..

“Nope! I can’t do that one, he started it!”

Benson gave up and was just about to leave the room when the door was opened, a curvy lady with an hourglass figure on purple stepped in..

“Hey babe –

Xander turned back to them to meet his dad’s burning gaze..

He nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and gestured for the lady to come to him, Benson sneered and stepped out of the office..

“I’m so sorry about…

Xander raised his hand up a little bit to stop her from apologizing..

“It’s fine.. but why are you here? we really didn’t have an appointment, anyway now that you’re here.. how about we make the best out of it?” He said hoarsely with a flirty smile..

***

Olivia turned to Damien when she saw the way they were headed, she sat up looking out through the window..

“This isn’t the way to the company”

Damien ignored her question and focused ahead, he had one last correction to make before he starts his life afreash with this annoying lady..

“I hope you’re not planning to sell me off to some secret organization, you probably run!”

Damien flashed her an eery smile “I didn’t expect you to be so smart! well you guessed right!”

Soon after, a cream colored building came in view, it screamed of money and luxury but for some reasons she found the house a little bit familiar..

The car came to an halt and almost immediately, Damien stepped out of the car without waiting for her, he headed into the building..

“You jerk! wait up!”

She scurried out of the car running after his retreating back..

Meanwhile…

Tracy stood up to her feet as soon as the lean and tall figure stepped into her home, a small smile crept on her face in relief that he was here to patch things up with her daughter..

But the smile died down the moment she laid her eyes on Olivia who was checking out her new surroundings..

“Mrs Browns.. I’m here to Rihanna”

Tracy managed to force her smile back on her face, she pointed upward indicating that she was in her room..

“She hasn’t left her room ever since yesterday, neither has she eaten or drank anything, my daughter is so broken and has refused to see anyone”

Damien’s expression remained blank as the older lady rambled on and on..

He took a glance at the dummy behind him who was stroking a statue of a penguin..

“Let her know that I’m here”

Tracy stopped a servant who was passing by at that moment..

“Hey, go call Rihanna down, tell her that she has a guest”

The servant gave a bow and left for his assigned task..

“Oh my! it’ll be rude of me to keep you standing, please take a seat”

“I’ll prefer to stand Mrs Brown”

Tracy felt his distant and cold tone, she instantly knew that he wasn’t here to make things up with Rihanna..

Her gaze fell on Olivia who has been absentmindedly looking around her home and touching anything she found fancy enough..

“Is she your assistant?”

Damien faced Tracy when he heard her speak, he turned to Olivia who has been surprisingly hiding behind him all these while..

“Not at all”

Olivia had no other choice than to poke her head out from her hiding place which was Damien’s back..

She was scared the lady of the Brown’s was going to recognize her..

Tracy’s eyes suddenly flashed with hate when the lady’s full face came in view to her..

So she was the one? she was the reason Damien and Rihanna couldn’t be together!

“You!”

Damien arched a brow at her outburst, however, their attention was pulled over to the lady who squeaked in excitement at the sight of Damien..

She couldn’t care less about her disheveled state and in the next minute, Rihanna bolted to him engulfing him in a tight embrace..

“I’m glad you came, I knew you would eventually come, you don’t need to explain anything to me anymore Damien.. I’ve forgiven you”

Damien pulled her gently to stand in front of him, she noticed his distant attitude towards her and felt her heart thumping wilding in her chest..

“Rihanna listen, I came to make things clear between us..”

Rihanna held her breathe, even though she knew what he might say next, she still tried to convince herself that they’ll be together and fine once more..

She could feel her heart breaking, he hadn’t said a word but she couldn’t stop the tears that ran down the side of her face..

“We are done”

Those three words seemed to crush her into a billion pieces, her lips parted in shock and disbelief that she took a step back away from him, it was even more devastating than when he told her yesterday, she thought it was like always but this time, he was really ending it all..

She suddenly noticed a figure standing behind Damien, a dry chuckle escaped lips that instance, judging from the blonde hair, she could already tell who it was..

“You’re breaking up with me because of her?”

Tracy closed her eyes briefly in annoyance but she dared not interfere in this matter, her heart throbbed so much for her daughter..

Olivia came out of her hiding place behind Damien when she heard the accusation made against her..

“Hey! don’t drag me into this mess! I didn’t hold a gun to his head to make him break up with you”

Rihanna suddenly fell on her knees holding one of Damien’s legs crying her eyes out..

“Please don’t do this to me Damien, you only want her son right? fine! I don’t mind being his stepmom, just bring him to me, but please don’t chase me out of your life this way.. I’m pleading with you…”

The three all failed to see the darkened gaze of Olivia immediately Rihanna choked out those words amidst tears and in the next second a slap was sent to Rihanna’s face that sent her falling on her butt hard on the ground..

“I dare you to say that again!”
