Chapter 101_ We messed up 3
Olivia spent almost half an hour trying to persuade Bianca to open her door but got silence in return..
And when she couldn’t wait anymore, she inserted the key she was holding into the keyhole which clicked..
Bringing her face up to the dangling paper board where a bold ‘Do not disturb’ was written on, it appears the latter was in a bad mood..
But that wouldn’t justify the fact that she spoke so rudely to her mum tonight..
She pushed the door and stepped into the room which was surprisingly well organized despite all the loud noises coming from it a while ago..
Bianca’s temper was nothing to write home about, and that was the reason she was always on her own, afraid to hurt others around her..
Olivia’s eyes fell on the bed where Bianca sat with her face buried in her laps..
“Bianca.. we need to talk about how you behaved with your mum a while ago”
“There’s nothing to talk about Olivia! just leave I don’t want to talk to anyone right now”
Minutes passed by as she he raised her head from her laps when she didn’t hear the sounds of footsteps leaving her room, her eyes dimmed staring at the figure who had refused to leave that spot..
Olivia’s hand went under her chest not daring to take a inch further from her spot, it would be best if they had a talk about her weird behavior…
Cassie shouldn’t suffer just because she had given Bianca a right to decide her relationship with Nathan..
From the little moment they spent at the dining table, Nathan’s eyes never left Cassie’s face, she saw the affection he had for her in his eyes..
“Don’t give me that attitude! what you said to your mum wasn’t right! and you must go apologize to her this minute!”
Bianca got off from her bed in a swift, she made her way to Olivia who didn’t move an inch despite the glare she received…
They’ve been through this in the past and it was almost normal for them..
“And why should I?! didn’t I tell her the truth? she’s always falling for the wrong men!”
“Nathan is a good man and they love each other.. why don’t you want to see your mum happy?.. have you really forgotten that you’re a lady and not a guy?”
Olivia paused pushing Bianca’s shoulder back with every word she uttered..
“This tough expression and attitude you wear around is just an excuse to chase guys away from you right?.. just because you think all men will leave you at the end.. then you’re wrong!”
Bianca chuckled sardonically as her legs touched the edge of the bed behind her, she placed both hands on her hips shaking her head..
“It’s very funny to hear you talking about men and their endless love.. when you’re doing just the same.. I’ve also seen how badly Damien wants to be a part of your life-
“This conversation has nothing to do with Damien!”
Bianca took a bold step forward to Olivia “It has everything to do with him! he’s also trying his best to make you see his true intentions! but you’re not giving him a chance! should I remind you that he left his fiancee just to have you and Kelvin in his life?!”
“He went against his family, he broke the strong bond between the Sterling’s and the Brown’s just so that he could pursue you.. if you can’t reflect on your doings then don’t try to teach me what you can’t learn”
Olivia’s chest heaved up and down in anger, Bianca’s words were in a way correct, but this really had nothing to do with Damien..
Cassie and Nathan’s relationship was at stake all because of Bianca..
“Says the person who is pushing Xander away from her, he’s willing to turn a blind eye to your bad attitude towards him and all you can ever do is to-”
Sandy cleared her throat at the corridor gaining the attention of the two, it was good that they were pointing out their mistakes to each other..
“Mum you-
How long has she been standing there?
“Save it!.. now you know how much your behaviors and decisions has managed to ruin three relationships.. I hope you both are happy?”
She exhaled loudly, things would have been a lot better if they had just accepted to move on with their lives rather than dwelling in the past..
“Your mum is really hurt.. she ended things with Nathan a while ago.. and who is to be blamed for it? you!” She stressed pointing her index finger at Bianca’s face..
“Aunt-
Sandy turned a deaf ear to Bianca and left the room not willing to hear anything the latter had to say to her..
The room was quiet for some minutes as the two fell into deep thoughts..
“I guess we were so carried away that we failed to see how everyone around us felt” Olivia murmured walking to the bed..
She took a sit on it before falling flat on the bed looking up at the ceilings, few seconds later, Bianca joined her on the bed..
“We messed up didn’t we?”
“Yeah pretty much” Olivia replied with a deep sigh..

Charles took a look at the lady resting on his bed once more before he left the room, he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt as he came down the stairs where he met Xander who looked so mad..
“Hey bro-
The latter brushed past him almost knocking him out of the way..
“Dude”
Xander was obviously in a foul mood which rarely happened, his cousin was so far the most jovial individual he knew so well..
Anger was almost an emotion Xander never had..
Not too long Mrs Gray ran in looking around the living room until her eyes settled on him, it was almost too late for him to dodge her..Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Charles!”
He flashed her an awkward smile with a small wave of his hand..
“Aunt Flora? what are you doing here?”
“I should be asking you that!” She bellowed marching straight to him..
When she was close enough, she stood on her toes and pulled his left ear..
“Ahh aunt!”
“Keep quiet! you left New York and came all the way to hide here? your parents are literally searching for you!”
Charles face crumpled, how could he make such a mistake? Xander’s parents rarely visited him so that’s why he chose to hide here rather than one of his houses…
His parents were currently trying to force him to get married to some girl and he wasn’t ready..
“Aunt can you just let me explain? at this rate my ear will come off”
Flora released her grip from his ear with an arched brow ready to listen to whatever he had to say..
“You know how my parents are? they are trying to force me to get married-
“Yeah your mum mentioned it to me, but forget that.. Xander is upset”
Charles took a glance back at the stairs, he had noticed it too..
“But why? he’s never that way.. unless something must have happened”
“It’s about some girl he went out with, my poor little son was so happy with her around until another lady came, everything happened so fast and-
She sighed recalling that awful moment Daisy came around..
“Wait.. you mean Bianca?”
Flora snapped her head to him in surprise “You know her?”
