Olivia jerked up to her feet as if stinged by an insect, she hid the torn part of the document behind her back and managed to force a weird smile.. "Well Mrs Parker, I see you're one of those who want to take away my seat from me" Olivia walked around the table and came to stand in front of him.. "Yes! how can you be so heartless?..my butt hurts each time I sit on my chair, how come you have a fine leather one?" Damien's brows creased trying to understand what the weird woman was saying, he snapped his gaze back to her once more after he realized what she meant.. "Oh you mean that..anyway that doesn't justify the reason you had the nerve to sit on my seat" Damien's gaze fell on her hand which she hid behind her back, that only indicated that she took something she wasn't supposed to.. "What did you steal?" he asked and at the same time trying to reach her hand behind her back, she dodged his attack and swerved to the left.. "It's nothing..it's just my rough work"
Olivia pulled away from Damien when Rihanna came at her in full speed, due to her sudden pace, she ended up falling flat on her face.. Olivia chuckled at the pathetic soul lying on the ground, she returned her gaze to Damien who had a shocked expression on his face. Rihanna groaned out in embarrassment, but she didn't stop there, she stood up to her feet and readied to launch another attack on Olivia when Damien caught her in place.. "Rihanna! behave yourself" Rihanna pulled her hand out of his grip, he was asking her to behave herself, when they were the ones in the wrong.. "You're in a secret relationship with her?" "No alright!" She laughed out painfully with a hint of tears in her eyes "No? and you expect me to believe that? you've never allowed me come so close to you the way she did!" Olivia raised a brow, well this was new information, her boss wasn't romantic, she suddenly chuckled at her thought.. Damien turned to her direction and pulled off his suit jac
Olivia was left puzzled by what Jonah just said, how could he think like that? or was she missing something here? Bianca led Jonah a distance away from Olivia and Kiara's hearing reach.. "What did you want to talk about?" Jonah inquired with a raised brow, for some reasons he always had this impression that Bianca had a crush on him.. "You saw a man across the street few days ago?" she asked to receive a nod from him, he stared at her skeptically wondering what was wrong with her strange behavior.. Bianca took in a deep breath, okay, that could be anybody and not Damien Sterling right? and then her mind drifted back to a few hours ago where she had had an encounter with him.. "Oh geez..there's a big problem" She mumbled to herself which didn't miss Jonah's ears.. "Is something wrong?" Bianca shook her head slowly "Whatever you do, don't bring this up in front of Olivia" *** Later that night.... Damien walked into his usually quiet home with a smile smile on his f
Damien was dumbfounded as he stared down at the little boy who was smiling from ear to ear, he also recognized him as the kid he saw yesterday.. He raised his head to Olivia and it only took him a minute to summarize what was going on in front of him.. Damien pointed a finger to Kelvin in uncertainty "Whose child is he? Is he your son?" "Yes she is, this is my mummy" Kelvin imputed with a smile.. Olivia folded her arm beneath her bossom "That is none of your business Mr Sterling! this is my private life, and I really hate it when people try to poke their noses in my affair" Bianca walked towards the door when she heard some noises, she pulled the door open and was shocked to see the city's own Damien Sterling just right on her porch.. Damien turned his gaze to Bianca who just showed up.. "You?" Bianca suddenly reached out for Kelvin who was standing in front of Damien, he instantly knew something was wrong.. "Who is this child's father?!" His voice echoed multiple
Damien and his mum swiftly turned to the direction of the door to see Aldrin rooted to the ground.. Anita's lips suddenly curved up, she walked to her husband and held his arm.. "Did you hear that honey? we are grand parents!" Aldrin gasped in shock and faced his son, in as much as he wanted to be happy about this news, he couldn't because Damien was about to get married.. "You got a girl pregnant Damien? when you have a fiancee?" Anita smacked his arm to shut him up "The baby has been born already, I think he did the right thing, now those browns won't get a chance in our family" Aldrin's jaw dropped as he listened to his wife's words, how come this mother and son support each other so much even if they were in the wrong?. "Great! now how are you going to break this news to father? or the Browns?" Damien sighed, he wondered what he was going to do, he cursed his fate so much, of all girls in the world, why Olivia?.. "Leave all that to me, I'll fix it" Aldrin
The silence in the large living room was tense as everyone tried their best to avoid the burning gaze of Bernard.. Aldrin massaged his head when he noticed how relax Anita seemed to be when she was the one at fault, he knew this won't end well for the both of them... "Do you regret getting married to me?" Aldrin was caught off guard by the sudden blunt and unforeseen question she just asked him.. "What? No!" Anita raised a brow "Then why are you staring at me that way?!" Bernard's gaze narrowed at the two who were murmuring to each other in a hushed tone.. "You still dare to talk when this is all your fault Anita?!" Patricia touched her husband's arm gently when she heard him yell, times like this made her worry about his health.. "Easy dear" "it isn't entirely my fault father" Anita retorted. Bernard sprang up to his feet ready to lash out at her when a voice broke in.. "I'm here" Everyone diverted their attention to Damien who had an indifferent look
Olivia hurried out of the building with Bianca right behind her back tailing after her..She watched Olivia's back that was moving fast away from her, she had no other choice than to jog to catch up with the worried mother.."Olivia..do you have any idea of where you're going to find them?" Olivia stopped on her tracks and turned to Bianca with a firm nod.."Who else? he found out that Kelvin is his son and he thinks that he can just take away my child away from me?!" Bianca closed her eyes briefly, this was the exact thing she was scared about, she had heard stories like this before and she must confess that the rich people's mindset works differently..They probably want to take possession of the child because he had the Sterlings blood flowing through his veins.."Well we don't know where the Sterlings live? and I'm sure that surrounding must be heavily guarded" Olivia's amber eyes blazed in unfathomable gleam as she said the next words to Bianca.."I don't care how dangerous i
Olivia gasped and tried to pull her hair out of his grip but he wasn't willing to let go of it yet.. Bianca's legs involuntarily moved close to the two, she raised her head up to Damien who pointed at something ahead of her.. She followed the direction of his finger and almost immediately a gasp escaped her lips as her hair cascaded down her shoulder.. She turned to him in surprise and was even more speechless when she saw him tie Olivia's hair into a ponytail with her hair band.. Olivia touched her hair and turned around to face him.. "What the heck?" Damien stared ahead of him with a blank expression on his face.. "Work resumes by 8:00 am tomorrow morning don't forget that" He didn't give her a chance to object to it before he walked to the black Mercedes Benz waiting for him which was opened by a guard.. "Bye daddy" Kelvin waved.. Olivia's teeth gritted in anger, who does he think he is to order her?. "He's cool alright" She snapped her head to Bianca who
Despite all that had happened to Tracy in the last few weeks, she was smart enough to understand that revenge wouldn't help her out at all. She pulled her gaze off the large screen showing the live footage of Damien and Olivia's wedding. That should have been her daughter smiling so brightly on the screen, but the latter messed up her chances. If only Olivia hadn't come into the picture, maybe everything would still be intact and in place. The Brown's wouldn't have been broken apart like it had. Taking a huge deep breath, she gripped the handle of the wheelchair where a dazed looking Asher sat. The doctor said he was still in shock of whatever had happened around him but it's been days since he woke up and the only word he uttered was "Olivia" Tracy wasn't oblivious to the fact that Asher had something for Olivia. "Your dad and Rihanna has chosen their own path, I think it's time we get going and start our lives afresh" They had to catch the fastest flight to Florida w
Few days later.. The most awaited day in the city came by so fast. The day were the two souls were finally going to be joined together by the sacred bonds of marriage. A majestic church was transformed into a breathtakingly opulent wedding wonderland. The stained glass windows adorned with intricate stone carvings filtered the sunlight casting kaleidoscopic patterns across the polished marbled floor covered with a plush white carpet runner embroidered with gold thread. Garlands of lush greenery and exotic white flowers which included, roses, orchids, and gardenias entwined the wooden pews leading up to the altar. The air was sweet with the scent of blooming flowers. All these extravagant decor had everything to do with Anita Sterling, the most joyous soul on earth. She had been anticipating this day so much if not more than the couple and finally it was here. As the orchestra's strings swelled, the congregation rose. Their faces turned toward the back of the church. Th
Alexa took a glance at Hardin seated next to her in the car when he didn't make any attempt to step out of the car. Today, her older brother had summoned her to the Sterling's ancestral home for an urgent meeting, and she had taken advantage of that opportunity to introduce Hardin to her family. Except that the latter was feeling nervous about this meeting. Hardin knew that he had to face his girl's family sooner than later. He wasn't scared of meeting them but rather be was scared that they might look down on him because of the huge gap between their status. Or worse they might shoo him away from Alexa which he wouldn't be able to bear. Alexa's hand fell on his palm fisted on his lap. She gave it a soft reassuring squeeze. "Trust me. Everything will be fine. My brother might seem tough but he is actually soft hearted on the inside and my dad isn't much of a trouble either" Hardin released a deep breath, he casted her a glance. "And your mum? There's still enough time
Tracy's hand shakily reached for the door's knob leading to Asher's ward. Her heart raced wildly as the door creaked open. She took a step in and almost immediately, a surprised squeal left her lips. Her legs almost gave way, but luckily, she regained her composure and hurried to the bed where the lean figure lay with his eyes wide open. "Asher" She cried out softly caressing his hair. He was awake. Meanwhile, Asher's face was as still as a statue, he hardly blinked or changed his line of focus. Tracy rained multiple kisses on his face but that still didn't generate any reaction from him. There were several questions running wild in her head that needed to be answered. "Asher..can you hear me? it's me your mum" She reminded him taking his hand in hers. She brought his hand to her lips and began sobbing. Now she had a new ray of hope. He was awake and that was all that mattered to her. *** Olivia sat on her bed reading a book in the peace and quietness of Damien's r
Bianca flashed a smile at the kind receptionist who led her to the door leading to Xander's office... Her hubby must have been working his ass off and had probably forgotten to have breakfast before coming to the office and it was certain that he might skip lunch too. But not on her watch. She had decided to pay a surprise visit to him today by coming over to his company with his lunch. She pushed the door open and stepped in with all smiles.. "Hey, Mr Gray I see you're busy." Xander was startled at her sudden familiar and chirpy voice, he snapped his head up from his PC to her. She plunged to the chair in front of his large desk with a broad grin on her face placing two takeouts on his desk. From her facial expression he got that she was excited to see him. "Wow! I wasn't expecting you to show up. You startled me for a second there" She sprang up to her feet and walked around the desk heading to him, once she drew close enough she stood behind him and leaned dow
All throughout the ride back home Damien's hand never left Olivia's tummy no matter how many times she made jest of him. He just couldn't contain his happiness and the same goes to Olivia. "Don't you think you are overreacting?" Olivia inquired arching a brow. She wasn't complaining or anything, it was just it felt weird for him to caress her flat tummy. "Come on. I wasn't there for you when you were pregnant with Kelvin. The least I could do is to make sure that I'm always by your side from now henceforth" Olivia sighed in defeat, she tilted her head by the side till it fell on his shoulder. "As you wish Mr Sterling" *** Hardin wiped off small food crumbs by the corner of Alexa's lips using his thumb. He took the dirty dishes along with him to the kitchen. "You don't have to do the dishes. I can manage on my own" Alexa lazily offered running her palm on her stomach. "Nah. it's nothing much" It's been a while since she last ate a really nourishing homemade foo
Damien and Olivia waited patiently for the results of the test carried out. The result was said to be ready in the next thirty minutes. "Are you sure you aren't feeling any discomfort?" He asked worriedly. Olivia's face fell for the umpteenth time in a row, Damien had been bugging her with that same question over and over again. "Yes. My ears are about to be blown off by you. I told you already right? I'm fine quit worrying yourself for nothing" Damien chuckled at her response, he brought his hand to her blonde hair stroking it lovingly. "I can't help but worry about you honey" Olivia flashed him a look of surprise, he just addressed her as 'Honey' and surprisingly it sounded right to her ears. Luckily for Olivia who was gradually burning in red color, the door opened and a doctor stepped into his office while a nurse followed behind him. He took his seat behind his large brown desk filled with some papers clipped together and his name tag. "Mr Sterling. I'm deepl
Hardin pulled away from Alexa after a few seconds of their lips locking. He cupped her face in his hands while his eyes never left hers for a second. Her face was expressionless and he noticed that she didn't reciprocate to his advances. Or furthermore, she wasn't interested in him like he was in her. The thought of that shattered his heart into a million tiny pieces. Maybe this had something to do with the huge gap in their status. But at this point, nothing mattered to him any longer except the lady standing close to him. Whether she accepted him or not, he had decided to pour out his feelings. She hadn't said a word neither had she blinked or make the slightest of movement. Perhaps, she was still in a state of shock, which was very true. Although this wasn't the first time Hardin had kissed her, but this kiss which lasted for a few seconds felt entirely different. Her heart thumped wildly wondering why he did that. Different questions and assumptions filled her mind leavin
The once messy apartment which belonged to Alexa was made spotless and neat after a few hours of cleaning by Hardin.. He picked up the trashcan and proceeded to the living room where some of her dresses and socks were littered. A few empty packs from various snacks covered the table in the midst of the mini living room. "How come I never noticed any of this whenever I come in here?" He questioned no one in particular.. After taking out the thrash from the table, his eyes caught sight of a thin strip paper like object lying lazily on the table.. Hardin's brows furrowed, from the two clear red lines flashing before his eyes, he already knew what this was. He picked it up examining it closely, this was a pregnancy strip. And worse of it all, it was showing two lines which meant that it was positive. Was Alexa pregnant? if not what was it doing in her apartment? Meanwhile.. A smile carved on Alexa's sleeping face when a mouth watering aroma filled her nostrils. She stir
