Chapter 24
Everyone else around was apprehensive too. This lady was very brave!
“Andre, please stop,” she gently spoke and his hand that was about to land another punch on his sister’s abusive husband stopped in mid-air. His sanity, which had flown to Damascus, had quickly returned, and he turned to stare at his mother. He immediately felt guilt in his heart. What had he done just now? He looked around and saw that many stared at him.
“There’s nothing good to watch here. Please leave. I’m sorry for dirtying your eyes, people. Please leave,” he said in a gentle tone, but his chest heaved.
Immediately, many left the scene and Dorothy walked to her son and hugged him.
“It’s okay, my son. I know you are angry,, but violence is never the way to solve everything, my dear,” she advised.
“I’m sorry, mom. I promise to be more rational next time. But, that doesn’t change the fact that he hurt my sister,” he said.
“I know,” she whispered.
“You… you beat my husband” his sister, Angelica stated after a while of being stunned in place.
Andre sighed.
“Yes, I did. And I’m sorry if I dirtied your beautiful eyes, sister,” he apologized after leaving his mum’s embrace.
“Sister? Which sister?” she asked.
“You are my sister, Angelica. Your surname was formerly Mills” he replied.
Her eyes immediately widened and she pointed at him.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, don’t come near. I don’t have a brother. He’s dead. Long dead!” she exclaimed shocking Andre.
“Angelica…” he called out.
“Stop calling me. Impostor, Mother, why did you bring him here? Father!” she pulled her hair in frustration and cried.
Dorothy walked to her daughter and hugged her.
‘Don’t cry. He’s indeed your brother, my daughter. Mom would never lie to you,” she spoke softly but Angelica would not listen. Instead, she ran back inside the house and locked the door. Then she slid down to sit on the floor, crying bitterly.
Andre didn’t know what to do in this situation. So he called the ambulance and the police too! They would handle this beast of a man Angelica had for a husband.
Dorothy felt great pain for her child. She never knew that her baby was suffering in this marriage. Angelica was traumatized for a long time after losing her dad and two siblings. When she finally healed, she saw Andre as already dead. Now, he suddenly appeared before her, claiming to be Andre. Of course, it wasn’t easy for her to accept.
“Go away, bastard! I hate you. Get lost!” she kept yelling from inside, but Andre did not leave.
“I want to take a good look at you, Angelica. I haven’t seen you for so long. I really miss you,” Andre spoke.
“I said GET LOST” she yelled at the top of her voice.
“Angelica, sweetie, do you remember when you injured your ankle in the amusement park, I helped you clean it and blew on it. Both of us often competed on who’d get Daddy’s love. You love music and dancing and often dragged me to the ballet teaching home to learn even if I didn’t like it. Do you remember when you opened the door to my room at age 9 ten years ago, you saw my behind coz my towel fell off and you ridiculed my black butt for days even among my friends’ circle? Do you remember how you would often jump on my back and command me to take you to the entire world? Do you remember…” Andre couldn’t finish his sentence before the door opened and a crying Angelica rushed out to hug him, her tears wetted his chest and stomach.
“Big brother, why didn’t you come to see us all this time? Why did it take you so long it find us? Tara and Lara our twins are dead, Andre. Do you know they’d have been very big by now? Do you know my suffering? Andre, you are bad” she began to hit him but Andre did nothing but ug her.
“I’m sorry” he caressed her messy black hair.
“I’m sorry for not coming back sooner. I hate myself you know, more than anything” he confessed in a whisper and a tear slid down his eyes.
“Andre, I missed you very much. I really missed you. How have you been faring?” she asked.
“First, come with me to the hospital. We’ll discuss there” he said.
“But, my husband” she hesitated.
“Angelica, he doesn’t deserve you, sweetie. A man who hits his wife cannot be considered a human. Don’t tell me you love him” Andre asked in annoyance. If given another chance, he wanted to teach this man another lesson.
“Andre, calm down. Please don’t call the police. The ambulance is enough. I won’t sue him” she begged.
“Are you afraid of him? Did he threaten you?” Andre couldn’t understand why his sister wanted to protect that idiot.
“I’m pregnant, Andre!” she declared shocking him and her parents, Dorothy and Bruce Greek.
“What? My three sisters are with child?” Andre exclaimed in surprise.
Angelica nodded.
“You don’t want my nephew’s dad to be in jail huh?” he took out his phone and told the police not to come anymore. It’s a misunderstanding. Then he greatly apologised for the inconvenience and promised to see them later.
Then he looked at Angelica.
“Satisfied now?” he asked with a smile.
“Hmm” she nodded.
“Lower your head” she pleaded and he obeyed. She then rubbed his hair and pecked his nose.
“You” Andre’s eyes widened. “You haven’t changed at all.”
The ambulance arrived soon and they took her husband to Liege clinic with Andre’s jeep following behind. His sister sat at the front passenger seat and chatted with Andre like there was no tomorrow. Andre smiled. His annoying, talkative sister was back. He won’t let anything happen to her.
Their parents at the back seat smiled and looked at each other knowingly.
“I hope all goes well,” Dorothy said with a sign. Bruce took her hand.
“Relax, everything will be fine” he whispered into her ear.

Meanwhile, Lisa’s Dad was having a bad day as he drank coffee. Earlier he’d asked his secretary to get fetch him beautiful noblewomen and they all arrived in time. But after questioning them, he called them trash. He finally decided to pick one who got 60 per cent of his questions correct and had taken her home to see a terrible sight.
Lisa was causing trouble at the servants and bodyguards expense! Thinking about what he’d endured many hours ago, he seethed with rage and hit her. Though he didn’t use force. But this shocked everyone.
Lisa looked at him and then at the brunette lady he brought back with him.
“This is my new mummy?” she got off the chair and ran to her. When everyone thought, she’d cry and hug the beautiful lady, she did the unexpected.
“I don’t like you, gold-digger” she then quickly took out scissors and cut her skirt.
“Lisa, what are you doing?”
“Little girl, what’s the meaning of this.”
“You must be dumb. You aren’t my mummy. Get out, house wrecker” she cried and started poking her legs with the scissors. The lady quickly ran out in anger and shame.
“You ugly thing!” Jack raged.
“I hate you, father. I hate you” she yelled and Jack saw her eyes turn fiery-red for a moment and the next thing, she ran to the nearest pillar and hit her head.
“No” it was too late. He couldn’t stop her in time. He caught her as she collapsed. Blood flowed from her forehead.
“Get the car ready” he yelled nervously as he carried her.
Bodyguards ran out ahead of him to get the most comfortable car ready for him and Lisa.
The angered lady who was being escorted to the gate by a bodyguard saw five jeeps run past her at breakneck speed
“What’s going on?” she asked.
“I think the princess has gone crazy again” he muttered and continued escorting her out.
Deep in the lady’s heart, she swore to return here as the wife of this zillionaire, Jack Oliver Reynolds. Nothing, not even a little brat will stop her from achieving her aims.
