Chapter 110_ I’m done!
Kelvin’s smile grew wider as the car came to a halt in front of his dad’s supposed house, he bounced up and down in the car impatiently..
“Mummy can we stay here from now on? daddy’s house is the best!!” He shrieked almost making every one go deaf..
One of the guards stepped out of the car behind them and opened the car’s door, almost immediately, the chirpy kid bursted out through the door running and screaming around in circles..
Olivia sighed exasperatedly stepping out of the car, her eyes caught sight of the familiar silhouette coming out of the building.
Her breath hitched for a while, this was probably the first time she had seen him in a casual outfit other than a suit, he was on a deep blue Tshirt coupled with a pair of black jean pants ..
Even when they were at Chicago, he always wore his suit and at night, his PJs..
“Daddy!!!”
Damien’s lips curved upward as the kid ran to him at full speed..
“Slow down Kelvin!” Olivia yelled out assisting the guard who was taking out her luggage from the car’s trunk…
She had a feeling she’d be taunted by those two all throughout their stay here…
“Ma’am let it be.. I’ll handle it” The guard standing next to her uttered taking the luggage off her grip, he gave her a small bow which crept her out..
She turned back to the two standing quite a distance away from her when she heard Kelvin’s loud laughs and giggles..
He was currently being lifted up at arms length by Damien..
Great, they forgot about her, she took a deep breath in and approached them, by now Kelvin was resting Damien’s arm….
What a show off he was, maybe it was time she started working out at the gym too so that she’d be able to lift Kelvin up whenever she feels like..
“Hey…”
Damien’s eyes fell on her, he extended his hand for her to take which she accepted..
“I’m glad that you both are here.. come on let’s go in” he squeezed her hand in his tenderly, he didn’t miss the blush that appeared on her face..

In the Sterling’s ancestral home, everyone was having their breakfast peacefully at the dining room, the table was covered with different varieties of dishes..
Aldrin turned his head to Anita who had been giggling and chuckling at something on her phone for a while now..
Her food had been barely touched which raised some reasons of concern..
“What happened?” He whispered which her ears picked..
“It’s girly stuff.. so you won’t understand” She retorted placing her phone aside and picking up her fork and knife..
Her partner in crime just informed her of their latest mission being successful, it was a good thing Olivia was finally warming up to Damien..
Very soon, they’ll be tied together forever and no one would be able to come in between them well except a baby’s bump..
She giggled at her silly thoughts only to end up choking, Aldrin was quick to raise the glass of water to her lips while also patting her back gently..
Patricia’s eyes were drawn to Anita’s finger holding Aldrin’s hand..
What caught her attention was infact the blue gem Anita had around her finger..
Now she had a closer look at it, she recognized it instantly..
Anita took deep breaths in calming her nerves..
“Are you alright?”
She gave a nod to her worrisome husband and proceeded to eating her meal, that was when she felt the older lady’s gaze on her..
“Mother, I know I’m very beautiful that’s the reason Aldrin can’t stop chasing after me till date, what’s up with the look?”
She puffed her cheeks proudly stroking her black luscious hair resting on her shoulder…
Aldrin mentally rolled his eyes hard at her choice of words..
“Oh you think?.. by the way I was wondering why you chose to wear that ring after all these years”
Anita was confused for some seconds before she raised her hand to her face..
Years? was the old lady mistaken? this was gifted to her by Aldrin few days back..
Aldrin shifted uncomfortably on his seat, how could his mum recognize the ring? even Anita couldn’t recognize it..Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I think you’ve made a mistake mother.. this pretty little gem was gifted by Aldrin on our anniversary and look it suits my finger pretty well” She boastfully declared wriggling her fingers..
“I can’t be mistaken Anita, that was the ring Bruce got for you, it was meant to be your engagement ring with him”
Anita’s smile froze on her face, she snapped her head to Aldrin who avoided her gaze like a plague..
“I think I heard my phone ringing.. I’d just go grab it” Becky said rising up to her feet, before Anita could stop her, she already bolted out of the dining room..
Anita pulled the ring off her finger examining it for a while, how come she doesn’t recognize the ring? maybe the old lady had a weak memory or something..
As far as she could remember, she really didn’t set her eyes on the engagement rings all those years ago.. so how come Aldrin had it?
“Aldrin? you got this ring for me right?” she asked hopefully but his reactions said otherwise, which meant that it was true.. she had been wearing Bruce’s ring all these time!
“I’m really-
“Yes or no” She asked stopping his apology midway..
“yes” He replied honestly, he already felt bad enough for lying to her earlier and just now, he couldn’t bear to do it again..
Her seat made a screech on the marbled floor before she sprang up to her feet..
“You really didn’t get me a gift on our anniversary? that can only happen unless-
She paused looking down at him while he did the same..
“You forgot about our anniversary” she continued in a breathless whisper..
Aldrin sighed and rose up “I’m really sorry Anita.. I didn’t know how it slipped my mind, I was really looking forward to that day.. but i-
“You forgot, because you love someone else other than me? am I right? you know what? I’m done!”
She took a step back and away from his reach, his brows creased when he heard her last statement..
“What? done? you can’t end our relationship this way”
She stopped on her tracks and faced him with am arched brow..
“Are you crazy Aldrin? I’m done with breakfast! not with you!… you’ve got an angry wife to appease and I can assure you that it won’t be so easy to do so”
She huffed out before leaving the dining room room..
Aldrin turned to his mum with a tight smile, even though she didn’t mean to do it, that won’t change the fact that Anita was mad at him..
“Thanks mum.. you’ve done a great job.. now the other part of my bed would be cold for at least a week!” he murmured in sarcasm..

Alexa tilted her head to the side with a mocking grin, he’d have to do a lot better than that to scare her…
He might look tough but she had seen a lot of tough and dangerous guys in the past, after all she recently dealt with a well known thug who happened to be long beard..
“Don’t make things too hard for yourself Alexa.. I’m very sure you don’t want to see or know what I’m capable of doing”
“I surely want to see what you’re capable of other than being good looking”
Hardin took slow steps closer to the bed, her devious smile stirred something weird in his body which he couldn’t fathom..
“Are you sure you wanna see that side of me?”
“I’d love to see it Hardin” She declared with a smirk which she instantly regretted because in the next second, she was lifted out of the bed in bridal style by Hardin..
Her eyes widened in surprise as a squeal escaped her throat..
“What are you doing?! let me down!”
Her words fell on deaf ears, Hardin kicked the door to the bathroom open and placed her down below the shower..
He turned the faucet on and took some steps back allowing her get drenched.
“Take your bathe and join me in the next thirty minutes.. I hope you get it or perhaps I should go further? I don’t mind helping you take a shower” he teased which made Alexa burn red in embarassment..
He was such a pervert, she parted her lips ready to blast him only to choke back on the water running down on her..
She pointed to the door with an annoyed expression..
“Just leave!”
He swallowed hard, not because of the tone she used on him, but because her white top was completely drenched and glued to her body outlining her mounds..
She followed his line of sight which fell on her almost exposed mounds, her nipples tightened as his gaze lingered longer on her chest..
Seeing as he was not ready to leave, she crossed her hand over her chest..
“You pervert!”
