A knock fell on the door which gained Bianca's attention, she faced Kelvin once more brushing his hair gently with her fingers, her little boy has been through a lot in the last couple of weeks.. And the only reason for all these was that sly fox who goes by the name Rihanna, but today, that lady was going to regret messing with this family.. That must be Jonah here to drop Kiara, she assumed as she moved to the door with Kelvin but unexpectedly, the first image she got was that of Xander... "Hey" he greeted in his usual chirpy tone.. Bianca was so sure that they didn't make any plans to meet today, so why was he here so early? "Shouldn't you be at the office?" She inquired stepping out of the apartment with Kelvin, she locked the door behind her and turned around to face him once more.. Xander chuckled massaging his nape gently "I was on my way actually and I decided to stop by to say hello, I can't go to the office without having a glimpse of you.." Bianca rolled her e
Olivia stared back at the figure who was staring blankly at the food in front of him, it was obvious he wasn't in the mood to eat anything or talk either.. She recalled the night her dad died, that was the most traumatizing night of her life, his condition was totally relatable to her.. "Damien..please take a bite or say something, you've been quiet the whole time" She was greeted by another minute of silence from him again, fortunately, her ringtone broke the silence in the room.. "Uh..I'll be back" She excused herself and left the room afterwards to accept her call.. "Hi Bianca, I'm so sorry I couldn't come back home last night, Damien was really- Bianca touched her forehead trying to think of a way to tell Olivia how strangely her mum was acting.. "I know, Stay around him for as long as he needs you alright?, I'll take care of Kelvin." Olivia sighed in relief, that was the huge benefit of having a friend like Bianca, she was always understanding and willing to
There was an unusual silence in the large living room where the Sterling's all gathered, from their blank looks, one could tell that they were sad and still mourning.. Next to Damien sat Olivia who sighed deeply, the old man sitting across from her still disliked her till date because he kept sending me an gazes to her every now and then, well the feeling was mutual too.. Bernard's eyes rested on Olivia before he diverted it to his grandson.. "I was very clear when I said all 'Sterlings' Damien, outsiders aren't allowed as of now" Damien turned his head to Olivia and then to his grand father, after all these while he still had a problem with her? "She is and will always be a part of the Sterling's grand father, just save everyone's time and let's get started with this meeting" Alexa sat up on her seat dabbing a tissue under her eye bag, she took it up to her to start today's real agenda.. They had to plan for Anita's funeral arrangements sooner. "Okay, let's start
As Damien pushed open the heavy glass door, a bell above it rang out, announcing his arrival. The police station's lobby was bustling with activities, officers typing away on their computers, suspects being led in handcuffs, and worried-looking civilians filling out forms. Damien's tailored suit and confident stride set him apart from the crowd. He approached the front desk alongside Olivia, where a harried-looking officer looked up from her screen. "Mr Sterling! can I help you sir?" she asked, her tone had a hint of excitement in it.. "I'm here to see Officer Jameson," Damien replied, his deep voice commanding attention. "I need to find more information about my mother's murder case." The officer's expression softened slightly. "I'll let him know that you are around..Please take a seat" she pointed to the seat in front of her.. "I'd rather speak with him now, it's urgent" The officer nodded and picked up the phone, dialing a quick extension. "Officer Jameson, Mr Sterli
Nancy's eyes fell on the pistol on the long table in front of her, she raised her head to meet Damien's irritated face.. "W-hat? I- I can't do that" She stuttered shaking in fear, but Damien wasn't having any of it, his cold glare fell on her which made her shakingly reach for the pistol on the table. "Good. Now shoot at me" He ordered in a firm tone.. Her eyes grew large at his words, she snapped her head to the officer standing aside, from the looks of things he also wanted to witness her shooting skills.. Wasn't he going to interfere this time? "B-But I don't want to hurt you" she whimpered hoping he would change his mind, but he didn't, if worse, her words only made him more annoyed at how long she took to raise the pistol.. "Why are you suddenly scared? this is your big chance to escape, you have the upper hand in this room now.. do it!" Olivia jeered.. Nancy gulped down hard pointing the pistol to Damien's chest.. "On the count of three, you are to shoot" "On
Bianca slid the bottled water over the kitchen island to Olivia who was just got here a while ago looking so tired.. She pulled a stool out and sat on it watching Olivia's giant gulps with intent.. "Ahh!" a sigh of satisfaction left her lips before she tossed the empty plastic into the bin.. "Okay, you are hydrated now. So can we start?" Olivia hopped down from her stool making her way to the couch in the living room, she crashed down on it feeling too tired to explain anything to Bianca.. "Come on Olivia.. tell me what happened, we haven't had a proper conversation in days after Kelvin and kiara's kidnap" "Yeah.. I kinda missed you but not as much as Kelvin" She jested patting the space next to her.. Bianca smiled approaching her, she sat next to Olivia just as the latter had requested of her.. "I missed you not" Bianca declared with a small chuckle.. The smile on their faces gradually fell as they were reminded of the sad and harsh reality of Anita's death.. The
Rihanna's eyelids fluttered open as she sat up with a loud gasp, her eyes darted around the dark room.. From the few objects and furnitures she could see glittering in the dark, she was able to make out that it was her room. She touched her neck gasping for air, was it just a dream or was someone trying to suffocate her to death a while ago? "How did I get here?" Her mind roamed endlessly on how she got here in the first place, she recalled feeling a sharp pain in her head before she passed out.. Her eyes widened in horror when a figure on white flashed past her eyes, that image got her heart pounding, she reached for her bedside lamp next to her but it wasn't turning on no matter how hard she tried.. "W-ho is there?" She stuttered shaking in fear.. The lights suddenly came on by itself to reveal that same lady on white she had seen the night before.. "Y-you? w-hy are you here again?" She asked moving back on her bed.. She searched around for any possible object to h
A small frown settled on Bianca's forehead as she gazed out of the window to the unfamiliar black car parked at the front of their building.. "Uh..Olivia I think that is Damien's car" She uttered in uncertainty walking back to the mother and son who were still in their silent treatment stage.. Kelvin had his arm crossed over his chest as his mum brushed his hair and fixed his collar.. The young man was still upset with Olivia for leaving him all to himself for two days straight.. "I don't think so, he would have called to inform me if he was coming over here" As soon as she was done with Kelvin, she rose up to her feet tying her loose hair into a messy bun, she sighed at his back moving away from her.. "Can you believe Kelvin? he is so arrogant like his dad. He still doesn't want to talk to me after all my effort yesterday" Bianca chuckled picking Kelvin up into her arms, she brought her lips closer to his ear whispering some words to him... "I know right? She doesn't
