"Son..""Grandson..""Corbin..."The three women in the room said in unison, a smile on their faces, happy to see Corbin.Grandma Reid, was about to run to Corbin who had entered first without Ida, to pull him in a tight hug, but she got angry, when she was pulled back by her daughter-in-law "Don't cross me, old woman?" Lavinia warned before she signaled Delta, who smiled knowing what Lavinia meant."Corbin!" Delta called again, as she began walking to Corbin, immediately she wanted to hug him, she was pushed away by Ida who got in between them, hugging Corbin instead "Oops, my bad!" She tried her best to look innocent, staring at the beautiful lady who she thought to be Corbin's fiancee, staring at her with rage-filled eyes, not bothering to hide it.Grandma Reid, who was happy to see Ida, who glowed even more than she last saw her, tugged her hand away from Lavinia, "You would never get what you want" Grandma Reid whispered before she walked to her grandson and her beautiful grandda
"Ca...Callen," Ida was stunned to see Callen in the room, or was there a third brother she didn't know of, sterling grey eyes 'It was undoubtedly Callen'."Do you know him?" Victoria asked, seeing Ida staring at the doctor who stared back at her with shock-filled eyes."No aunt, I think you should go rest, I will take care of Celine." Ida who had seen Victoria's tired face as she yawned continuously said."Thank you, but I don't want to stress you, I don't want my in-la...wait." Realization suddenly struck Victoria, starting at Corbin again "his h.." "No, he is not the one," Ida said quickly pushing Victoria out of the room, before closing the door back, leaving her with Callen, and Celine.Callen smiled at her, slightly waving his hand at her "I don't know you want to be alone with me this much.""Don't say anything funny in front of my cousin, what are you doing here?" Ida asked, glaring at him from where she stood "Want to get me into trouble again?" She asked."Am beginning to do
"I would bring you down, I would kill you.." He threatened scaring the living out of Lavinia.Lavinia didn't even talk to save herself from the blame, with how shaky she had turned immediately 'This was the first time Raven had yelled at her, in front of the family?' the fake tears she had earlier turned real, as she ran out of the room immediately. Ida suddenly felt bad for her "I would like y'all to excuse us," Callen said, and they all did, except for Ida "Would you mind if is stay here Dr. Callen?" Her eyes held a pleading look. The woman who had filled the space of motherly love in her life, was on the bed looking pale 'How would she leave her?'"I thought you wanted to stay away from me earlier," Callen said, not missing the part she addressed him as a doctor."You shouldn't be flirting in this kind of situation, Mr. Callen."****Corbin arrived hours late, he was looking like the devil incarnate, deep frowns on his face, seeing his family outside the door."How is she?" He a
Corbin stared at the woman who slept peacefully on the bed, her soft snores felt like rhymes in his ear.Then was her beautiful long brunette hair spread beautifully on the bed 'Why does he always feel threatened by Callen's presence around her? Why was he being possessive of her all of a sudden? Was it because he sees her as a property?He suddenly stood up from where he sat, picking up his jacket, before leaving the room 'He needed to find out why he gets angry these days when he sees her with Callen. Anytime he sees Callen near her, his brain always gives red signals.'It was nine at night when he left the Reids Residents. His car speeds through the dark and starry night, as soon as he gets on the road.After minutes of driving, his car finally came to a halt in an old bungalow.He exited his car, walked to the gate, and knocked on it "It is night already, if not a lone heart, who would come to visit an old therapist at night?" A weathered and calm voice like that of an old man, so
"Am sorry son, your mother requested to see your marriage papers.""Yes son, since it wasn't a normal white wedding, then it going to be a court marriage, I need the papers, I want to be sure of something," Lavinia asked, folding her arms around her chest.'What was this woman up to? Did she find out she wasn't Corbin's wife? Oh, thank goodness if she had. Does that mean her chance to leave Reid was here and near? What excuse would Corbin give?'"Is that why you came this early? Just to ask this question, I don't think it is something to be bothered about, is it because we don't wear our rings?""Lavinia just let them be, I don't want Mother to get angry when she wakes up, to find out we have been disturbing them""And let her get angry!" Lavinia yelled, but seeing the frown on Raven's face, she quickly pulled him in a hug "My love, it's just that I had a dream, and I just want to confirm it, not to break the family's heart later on."'Confirm it now, would you?'"How do you expect th
Ida stood outside the mansion, as she watched Corbin walk into his car, her cheek turned hot all of a sudden, blushing.“Hey, Don't think you have won baby, I won't leave you out of our fun today, I would send you every damn pic,” Delta, who had walked next to Ida said, as she blew Ida a light kiss, before walking away.Ida rolled her eyes, but the next thing Delta did made her angry, she got into the same car with Corbin, sitting in the same back seat with him; Corbin said nothing 'Why couldn't she go in another car?' 'Why did Corbin allow her in his car?'“Young Mrs. Reid, the car is ready?” Ida suddenly snapped out of her anger, after she watched Corbin drive off.She suddenly faced the chauffeur who had come to pick her up, “Why do I even care?”“Eh… Care about what ma'am?” The chauffeur asked, confused.“Yes, care about what? Is it her, that rude ugly faced b!tch" she sneered, pointing at where Corbin's car was before" let go." She said, wearing her dark shades, as she made for t
"Are you jealous, Ida,” he asked her, and she stiffened.“No, and why should I?” She scoffed, lazily dragging herself up from the bed, as she made to leave the room, not taking her soup with her.She was pulled back by Corbin “How I wish to fvck this sudden attitude away Maddison this morning,” he said, and she stared at him doing nothing, her heartbeat doing the talking.She stared down at his lips, hitting hers, before looking back into his eyes. “I can kiss the attitude out,” Corbin said, before capturing her lips in hers.She smiled into the kiss, kissing him back with the same vigor, earning a light growl from Corbin 'The kiss was meant to punish her, but she didn't seem to learn. She curled her hand around his neck, kissing him more before he pulled away.“It is a good luck kiss,” Ida smiled “Oh…Sorry, I ruined your tie,” she made to help him with his tie, which wasn't positioned rightly, but he stopped her, a slight frown settling on his face. “It's fine,” He said, before leavi
Ida was surprised when she woke up, finding herself strange room tied to a chair, she struggled hard to get the rope off her body, but it was to no avail. “Anyone there, come untie me this instant,”“Someone get this fvcking rope off me,” she cried out again. She suddenly gasped, when she stared down at her throat, to see a knife against her neck.“Still feisty Hun…”“Delta?”“Yes, your worst nightmare boom!!” Delta chuckled, before coming to face Ida “How does it feel to catch you unaware? You thought I was joking before, you made me feel like a clown until I came up with this idea, you should thank your ill-star Aunt Lavinia saved you from doing my real intentions.” “So Lavinia is part of it again,” 'That ill wench wasn't to be trusted, not like she had trusted her, why would she when yesterday's matter wasn't settled, she had thought Lavinia was just trying to get close to her today, so she wouldn't have to report to Corbin, what they had done yesterday, but no, she had fooled he
