Dedication.To my mother Elizabeth, who will never be able to read any of my works, see me graduate, tell me how proud she is ; even yell at me for the smallest things but most of all my once upon a time biggest fan from the first time I learnt how to write ABC.18.01.1978 - 05.04.2018 The little boy raced into the opening of the Ritz-Carlton hotel. This was something he did everyday after his teacher Mrs. Daniela dropped him off at his mother's work place. Yes, he attended one of the most expensive schools in New York. Yes, he attended Piano lessons every Wednesdays with Mrs. Calisto, Yes he also took French classes. Yes, he had everything any six year old could ever want and yes his mother provided all that from Maids salary."Hey Tim." The boy greeted the man at the front desk of the five star Ritz-Carlton restaurant."Hey buddy, good day at school ?" Tim asked giving the little boy with blonde hair and blue eyes a warm smile."Yep, my math teacher says I'm a genius when it com
To say he was shocked was an understatement. The little boy was her ex-wife's son. Karma finally caught up with her and she got pregnant he thought. After all the cheating and prostituting, how could she not ? He paced back and fourth in his office. He thought about how much different, her uniform was way longer than the other maids at the hotel. She seemed calm and not angry about anything. It made him angry that she acted innocent. It had been a week and he still couldn't get her off his mind. He dreamt about all the things they used to do, he thought about her smile and how she would speak Spanish to him whenever he spoke French. He thought about Adela McCarthy, the woman who broke his heart.___Della made her way to the Levetté company, the building was huge. It hadn't changed a bit. It intimidated her, everyone seemed to be dressed all professional while she was in a sun dress and flats... her hair tied in a high bun. Jeanine had called her for a meeting, she mentioned it being
"I heard everything." Andre sighed looking at his father who was also appalled by what his son had told him."I have a son with Della and mom was willing to keep him away from me." Andre looked at the view in his office that was on the twenty-sixth floor."What are you going to do then?" Benjamin Levetté asked."Della." was the only thing he muttered. He had not trusted her instead he listened to his mother and hurt her beyond all reason."You still love her?" Andre's father questioned."How could I not, Papa? She was my first love." He said in an exasperated sigh. He remembered how beautiful she looked on their wedding day. She wrote him the perfect vows that made the audience cry. Himself, he even felt as though his vows couldn't be compared to hers but he said them anyways she loved them. Their wedding night, she was a virgin and he took that from her. He became addicted to her, Andre loved Della so much. He found himself not wanting to leave for work every morning. Della was perfe
Chapter 4 -- Quatre.He looked at her beautiful face as her eyes slammed closed when he thrust into her. She let out a moan cursing incoherent words. Her lips seemed so inviting, he pressed his lips on top of hers. He could never get used to the feeling of being inside her, from their wedding night ;he knew he was hooked. He loved her with his heart and soul. She was the woman of his dreams, Della was the woman whom he would spend the rest of his life with.He gave her slow deep strokes continuously and she arched her back enjoying the feeling of her husband being deep inside her core. She loved him so much, he made her feel special every single day and night which is now. She opened her eyes and let out another moan while looking into his sparking ocean blue eyes. She let her hands hang loose around her husbands shoulders.After an amazing time, they both reached their climax. "I love you so much chéri." Andre whispered as he put a strand of her brunette hair behind her ear. She blus
Chapter 5 -- Cinq."I told him that Leo wasn't his child." Della said putting the new bed covers for one of the hotel suites."Did he believe you?" Mila asked curiously fixing the unmade bed. They were both in their maid uniforms, they had been friends ever since Della started working at the hotel four years back. Mila was also a Latino which made it really easy for them to be friends. Having the same language and very much same interests. Mila knew everything that had happened to her best friend. The shit her arsehole husband put her friend through. "Everyone knows I cheated, Mila so he has to believe me." Della said in a monotonous tone, she didn't care about alot of things. She hardly got excited for anything unless it had to do with her son. She found zero interest in anything really—"But look, if he said he knows what his mother did that means he knows you are lying." Mila replied after a hard well thought."Even if he founds out what happened? What's the point? We should just
Weeks had passed by, Della was relieved that her worst fear had not come to life. The Levetté family wouldn't meddle in her son's life. She would continue living her life like nothing had occurred some weeks back. Everything would be back to normal. Maybe luck was finally on her side.What Della didn't know was that when her son came back from school and sat at the hotel lobby. He asked Tim if he could use the phone. Leo had held onto the card that Mister Andre had given him two days before. Leo liked Mister Andre alot, he was very nice and they had the same hair like twins, Leo thought."Leo, you want me to call Andre Levetté ?" Tim asked the little boy unsure if he should."Yes, he is my friend. He said I could call him whenever, I needed anything." Leo smiled sheepishly."Is your mother aware of this ?" Tim questioned."No and please please please don't tell her." Leo said giving Tim his puppy dog eyes."Okay fine, only because you helped me ask Veronica out." Tim added thinking b
Chapter 7 -- Sept.Della's manager had informed her that Garreth had booked the royal suite and was requesting to see her. She wondered what could be the problem... She had known the forty-five year old man ever since she started working at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. He was a very nice humble person. Della wondered at first why a rich successful man like him would have any interest in a maid like herself. Garreth said he saw her as family, he mentioned seeing his young sister in her—which Della found very weird.Whenever she needed anything, he was always there for her. Even though she would never accept his money, he offered to sponsor her college fees so she could get her degree in Literature. That, she accepted."Sugar daddy can't seem to get away from you." Mila said sarcastically. It made Della laugh ofcourse that's what it looked like to anyone who didn't know her friendship with Garreth."You know Mila, God can use anyone and anything to help you in times of crisis and I think Ga
Chapter 8 — Heit"I was giving her space but now I won't do that anymore." Andre let out another exasperated sigh."Well, ami don't you think you should sort out the thing you have going on with your son..." Luc replied to his brother who seemed to be in deep thought. Andre's only thought was how close him and his son had grown in the past month. Leo was everything he had ever wanted in a son. He never wanted kids but Leo changed his mind. Being with Leo and seeing Leo made him happy but Luc was right he couldn't continue seeing him behind his ex-wife's back."She will say no." Andre took a sip of his Starbucks latte."He is your son and you have rights to be in his life whether she is okay with it or not." Luc muttered as a matter of fact."Mom took away my rights as soon as she kicked her out of the house and forced her to sign the divorce papers." He paused. "Goodness I can't believe my own mother did what she did. Wasn't it obvious that Della made me happy. I didn't care if she ca
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,
