Chapter 9 – Neuf"Is it really necessary for me to come along?" Della asked her father with a sincere expression. "I mean I love working extra shifts and this gala is a great opportunity for that." She explained as Garreth continuously typed on his laptop. After sometime he looked up and gave his new long lost daughter a smile."Adela, i want to introduce you to all my close friends and everyone else who needs to know you are my blood and heir. I will not allow my only daughter to be cleaning up tables while I dine with the upper crust." He said giving her an assuring smile."This is to make up for lost time, my darling you are a McCarthy." He said with a grin on his lips and a glimmer in his grey eyes."I have already sent for Donato Vivaldi to have your outfits for tonight set." Garreth said in an excited tone. Della looked rather confused maybe because she didn't grow up with the beau monde moneyed class. She had always longed to be wanted and loved, of course her abuela gave her t
Chaper 10 -- Dix.After being introduced to almost everyone in the room personally, Della felt tired but happy. Her father wasn't embarrassed of her in anyway, infact he wanted to show her off to everyone he knew."If it isn't the Levetté family." Adela's father said nonchalantly. Della immediately felt a shiver run down her spine. She didn't want any trouble hopefully they would all act civil."Garreth." Ben Levetté gave him a nod. Della turned around and the first thing she met was his blue alluring eyes. She quickly looked away."Long time no see, Garreth." Jeanine said in a monotonous tone. Della could feel his eyes all over her even though she wasn't looking at him. She felt self conscious. Her father had his hand laid gently on his daughters back as he tried not to show his anger."Yes yes, I must say I'm quite embarrassed by what my daughter did." Garreth said and Della knew this wasn't going to end well."Adela won't you greet your old family dear?" He said his British accent
Chapter 11 -- Onze."That man made us look like fools." Jeanine sighed during breakfast."Well, we all know who is to blame for that." Andre said bitterly."What do you mean by that? this is all your fault for having resorted to kicking her out like that." Jeanine said oblivious to the fact that everyone around the table knew what she had done."Mom how long are are you going to keep this up?" Andre asked on a serious note. It seemed Luc and Andre's father, all they ever did whenever something happened was watch, stare and not interfere. Andre was getting annoyed by their choice of stance."What are you trying to say ?" Jeanine sipped on her orange juice and stared at her son."Would it hurt for you to admit that you were wrong and you purposely destroyed my marriage. You are the reason why I missed six years of my son's life. You are the reason why things turned out the way they did and I don't know what's worse? the fact that you pretend like you don't know anything or rather the fa
Chapter 12 -- Douze.This was what Della had been dreading the whole week ;sitting on a table across her ex-husband and son. Leondre seemed excited. This was all for him, only for him. Andre wanted to talk to Della about their son in fact he wanted to talk about more than just that with her. As for Della she just wanted to discuss only about her son and co-parenting.Della looked at the mansion she once stayed in, nothing had changed much. The same way she had her flowers around the yard is the same way it was, still well maintained. She always thought maybe Andre would rip them out judging by the way he was so angry even hearing her name or even seeing her at the time. The same anger made him lay a hand on his woman when she tried to tell him about their baby."Woah! Is this Mister Andre's house?" Leo said in awe."Yes, that's your father's house now if you follow me. He is expecting you inside.." Albane Gauthier the Butler spoke in a professional tone."That's so cool, like super co
Chapter 13 --Treize."Darling, I was stunned." Jeanine said taking a sip of her red wine."I can only imagine." Gladys sighed. " I always knew there was something about that girl. Her kindness is just beyond me, Jenny. No matter how you mistreated her, she never disrespected you instead she always came to an agreement with you.""I wish my daughter in law was like Della but all she does is spend my son's money and refuse to get pregnant." Gladys ran her manicured hands through her wavy brown hair."Amber still doesn't wish to give your family an heir?" Jeanine scoffed at her very good friend Gladys Mossé whom she had met during her modeling days. Gladys was also a French model, they often auditioned together until they both made it big."She isn't as graceful as she looks, darling. Danny told me that she told him that they can try for a baby but-" Gladys paused a sip of her red wine. "But she had been on the pill all along and she is still taking them."Jeanine gasped.Daniel Mossé wa
Chapter 14 -- Quartorze."That was-" Della smiled looking at her husband who was panting for his breath right beside her. He pulled her close and laid a chaste kiss on her cheeks, jaw, lips right until her temple. "Great." He finished her sentence. She couldn't stop smiling, he made her so happy."You have to get ready for work, it's almost eight am." She said in a hurry. "Your mother already hates me as it is, I don't want her to hate me even more if she finds out I'm the reason why you are always late." She rambled on and on as she wrapped the white sheets around her body, leaving Andre smirking and a naked mess. His blonde hair was a sexy mess and his broad chest glistened with sweat from their sexual encounters. His big dick lazily laid on his thigh ;this only made Della shy."Mon amour, come here ?" He said showing off his dimpled smile."No, Andre go shower. You are already late." She threw her hands in the air dramatically and Andre looked at her with an amused smile on his fac
Chapter 15 -- Quinze."Mr. Levetté your mother would like to speak to you?" Andre heard his personal assistant Norah say from the other end of the landline."Tell her I'm very busy." He exclaimed immediately ending the call before he knew it, his mother had barged in anyways. He didn't care, he just didn't want to see her or talk to her. He wasn't ready to accept what she did, it was still something for him to process."Mama!!" Andre growled at his mother who looked quite pleased with herself."You keep acting a child and avoiding me and I'm not one to play cat and mouse." She adroitly made her way to the leather couch on the other side of the office."Come on, sit down." Jeanine gave the opposite leather couch a pat, indicating he should sit. Andre felt like a twelve year old again, about to get a lecture only this time ;he would be giving the lecture. He heaved a sigh as he made his way to where his mother was now sat, without any infamy."I see you have went running back to your li
Chapter 16 -- Seize."You already read it?" Della was taken aback when Leith had approached her two day prior to their previous meeting, asking if they could have coffee."Yes, once I began; I was so intrigued. I couldn't stop." Leith chuckled lightly looking at Della with a different look.. it hid some sort of sympathy and pity. Della noticed it as well, he seemed much warmer and treated her like an egg. Her worst fear had came to life ;people would always pity her after reading her work. That was something she didn't want. They were seated across each other in Starbucks, her choice. She put a strand of her brunette hair behind her ear as she waited for him to say more.."…and?" She questioned taking a sip from her black coffee."My question is to what extent would someone have to be hurt to write such pieces of work?" Leith looked at her by the skin of one's teeth, it made her uncomfortable. She shifted uncomfortably under his gaze."Writing is purely fiction." She tried to cover up
Chapter 93 - Epilogue.It has been quite the month of blessings. On my part for being given yet another opportunity to converse with probably my favorite family in Hollywood. A blessing on their part for safely bringing two Angels into this world. Speaking of Angel's, Heaven and Nevaeh Levetté are their given names. Yes, Nevaeh is Heaven backwards. Pronounced neh-veh-ah bet you weren't expecting that one now were you? We took to Wikipedia to get a more profound meaning—"An erroneous belief is that the name has an Irish origin, a variation of the name Niamh, which is still common in Ireland today; however, Nevaeh was recently coined and American. First off, the name Nevaeh doesn't have any meaning besides Heaven, so anyone saying it means Hell because it's Heaven spelled backwards is incorrect."Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to snap any images of Heaven and Nevaeh but you can already tell that they will look like they were sun-kissed by God himself. "I came up with Heaven and Andre w
Chapter 92 - I`m a firm believer in fate.Since they reunited, I know everyone has been wondering. When did Della give birth? When was she even pregnant? Is Andre the father? Just one look at the boy and you already know the answer to that one. I had the pleasure of meeting their son, such a sweetheart. He is so kind and playful, hide your boys and girls because I see an epidemic of heartbreak that will be caused by Le-Andre junior."The pregnancy ofcourse wasn't planned." Adela commented."I think it was.." Andre interjected.The couple argued for a bit concerning this topic. I couldn't exactly make out the confirmed truth and yes, this may sound vulgar but.. Adela claimed they weren't planning and Andre claimed he had done what he did purposely.. he just didn't think it would happen that quick."You never told me this.." Adela whispered. I managed to slip in some questions that any curious follower of this story would have wanted to know. They were really nice enough to let me ask t
Chapter 91 - We drank coffee.Life was great, soon after the wedding. The rumors died down. The public and media became a little easier on the newly wedded couple. "I learnt not to care.. about anything or anyone had to say. It was hard but at that point I was tired of trying to prove that I'm a good person or that I have good intentions." Adela commented."My million dollar advise!" Her husband said proudly beside her. It was a beautiful scene with Adela expecting, expecting I found myself swooning over this beautiful couple. They have taken so many shots from the public, media even from their own family and here they're at their happiest.The honeymoon went smoothly. We got some pictures of shirtless Andre and Adela in a bikini. Jealousy aside, they looked so good together. Media suddenly somewhat started writing some 'nice' things about Adela."Yeah, it was always about my body." Adela admitted. "They wished you were theirs.." Andre said defensively.During their first five months
Chapter 90 - I started all the rumors. People Magazine highlights. "To a certain extent I was jealous that my son loved another woman other than his own mother. I don't justify what I did but I hope this helps everyone find closure." Jeanine Levetté "I will always have regrets and one of them was neglecting the woman I love when she needed me the most." Andre Levetté "I'm just happy that the crucial time in my life where I felt hopeless and down has passed. It was the worst but it helped me grow as a person. I'm ready to move on to better memories." - Adela McCarthy Levetté "I'm going to have two sisters." - Leondre Levetté "I'd rather not comment on my brother's business. All I can say is everyone makes mistakes.. even you and I." - Luc Levetté "This is about what my ex-wife did and I was no where involved. I'm just happy it has been resolved." - Benjamin Levetté — Twitter Highlights. #LevetteScandal - If I was Della, I would have left him. periodt. - They love each other
Chapter 89 - It`s just an article. The phrase 'two sides to every story' has never been taken seriously. We jump onto every bandwagon, the cancel culture.. James Charles a true example of how toxic media can be but that's a story for another day. We as 'People Magazine' were the first to cover the Levetté scandal nearly eight years ago. It was a time to be alive, in a world where we thrive off gossip and the shaming of others. It was absolutely honor on my part as a journalist to be given the opportunity to cover the full story.. not the bits and gossip but the true story narrated by everyone who played a role in this frantic event. I'm gonna take you on a rollercoaster but first let's start with the boy we grew up adoring... the teenage heartthrob in our day. Jeanine Levetté and her husband Ben Levetté had always managed to keep their boys away from the media. Jeanine always said when the time was right, we would (fans) all see her kids more often. They loved their privacy even with
Chapter 88 - Marcela if you`re using him "Aww.." Della cooed at the tiny little energetic boy who couldn't stop moving his legs and flipping his arms in all directions. "Alfredo says he will be a soccer player." Mila said softly earning a laugh from her best friend. "He is too energetic.. "I can't keep up with him atleast Alfredo has been staying up all night." "Alfredo is such a sweetheart.." Della added putting Alejandro in a more comfortable position. He rubbed his eyes with his hand in a fist. Della couldn't really whom he would look like but that nose was definitely Alfredo. "He is... oops there he goes again. Hitting himself on the face and scratching himself.. he is only a month old." Mila said with concern. "You should put on gloves or make him wear his tiny socks on his hands. Leo used to do the same thing.." Della advised. "Alfredo says he is a fighter that's why.. i have a feeling he spoil him rotten." "Not if Alejandro has siblings—" she was immediately cut off.
Chapter 87 - My adopted son."I'm only allowing you to stay here because you're like a son to me. Also not ignoring the fact that you might relapse as soon as you walk out of my sight." Garreth said cautiously. "I have a thirteen year old staying here and I swear to God if you influence him or teach him anything... I will not hesitate putting my hands on you.""Thanks, I really appreciate it. Everything... you have done for me." Ignacio said rigid in his stance."Alright.." Garreth said softly. "Everything is all stocked up, I think you want to freshen up. Breakfast is in an hour. I'm bringing a barber to give you a hair cut..."Ignacio ran his right hand through his shoulder length voluminous jet black hair. He knew Garreth was right, he needed to start over. From his hair to his clothing to his attitude towards life."That's if you want to have a hair cut.." Garreth added."I do, I want a new start."Garreth nodded."Has Spencer reached out?""No.." Ignacio replied."If he does, let
Chapter 86 - His name is Alejandro Felipe Molinero.He couldn't quite figure it out.He just couldn't.Maybe it was in the way she smiled widely till her hazel brown eyes closed or maybe the pregnancy complimented her in all the right places; no maybe it was because he was head over heals inlove with this woman. Luc looked where Andre had his eyes glued. Della was just a simple normal woman.. he wouldn't exactly say she was the most beautiful woman, he had ever seen. She was just plain simple, maybe it was her personality or maybe yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Luc nudged his brother who wasn't even watching their soccer match. Ben chuckled, at the scene. Andre couldn't keep his eyes off Della who was in the conjoined room talking humorously on the phone. She didn't even notice—"Ami, why don't you just go join your wife's phone call?" Luc finally broke into Andre's thoughts. Andre shook his head and denied it, concentrating on the Europa Champions League."Luc, don't be s
Chapter 85 - In sickness and health blah blah.Six months into the pregnancy."I'm glad you decided to stay for two more weeks. It gets really lonely out here knowing Luc, he is never home." Ben said as he took a sip of his green tea."Papa but I'm here!" Luc have his father a questioning look feeling offended."It's alright, I like it here so does Leo.. I just hope we return home in time to set up things for the twins.." Della replied."Goodness! Here I was thinking I would never have grandchildren. I'm truly so happy at this point, I don't mind dying. Well after the twins are born..""Grandpa!" Leo said with disapproval."He won't die, he just loves joking around.." Luc added but Leo was still concerned. He had spent so much time with Ben. He had learnt a lot of French phrases but pronunciation was still a big factor sometimes it even hurt to speak. Leo loved the new environment. At one point it had just been him and his mother but now he had two grandpa's, a grandmother, an uncle,
