Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Anita’s eyes wandered everywhere around the room except from Damien’s direction, he had his hands crossed over his chest while he sat on one of the sofa’s waiting for any possible explanations..

Damien deserved to know what made his mum choose to lie to everyone about her death, every part of him was happy that she was still breathing.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“You really can’t blame me for this one honey, I just tried to help out”

“Help out? mum! I cried all night to sleep like a five year old, sometimes I blamed myself for your fake death and you-

Anita stood up from her seat and walked into the kitchen hurriedly, she returned few moments later with a knife holding it to her neck..

They were all startled by her sudden presence, Damien was the first one to stand up to his feet gwaking at his mum in horror..

“Fine! since you’re mad at me, I’ll just kill myself for real this time!” She screamed in between loud sobs..

Bianca dipped her hands into the bowl of chips and ate a mouthful, whatever drama that was going on in front of her looked interesting..

Damien shook his head slowly, she was back, his drama queen was really back this time, he approached her and snatched the knife out of her hand..

“Really? you want to hurt yourself again? Come here”

He pulled her into his arms stroking her back gently..

“I’m very sorry Damien, I didn’t mean to hurt you, you know how much I love you right?”

Sandy leaned next to Bianca “Anita is so dramatic isn’t she?”

Bianca giggled with a nod..

Olivia’s eyes dimmed, she was glad about Damien’s reunion with his mum, but the most important thing was herself.

They had completely forgotten to untie her from the chair and no matter how hard she moved her chair no one noticed her..

“Uh.. excuse me, if you all are done with your happy reunion, can I at least get released from this chair?”

Alexa hurried back to the Sterling’s ancestral home as soon as she got a call from Becky staring her presence was needed..

And from the tone she had used, it sounded really urgent and also excited..

She walked into the living room, the first figure her eyes fell on was her brother..

He was here probably to talk about the burial of their mum which was to be held this weekend or so as planned..

She noticed the silence that filled the living room but didn’t much of it since they were still all shaken by the news of Anita’s death..

Alexa took the seat next to Damien and offered him a polite smile which he surprisingly returned..

The smile on her lips suddenly froze as her eyes fell on a familiar face..

Her eyes grew large before a shrill escaped her lips, she pointed to her Anita who was sitting next to Becky..

“Ghost!”

“Cut it out! I’m not dead yet” Anita impatiently murmured, her hands went under her bossom arrogantly..

She was a little bit upset that Aldrin wasn’t giving her the attention she needed, he was avoiding her touch..

He was probably mad at her for leaving him in the dark about her fake death, everyone of them was mad at her..

“Aldrin I’m very sorry.. please talk to me” She pleaded with a pout blinking her eyes at him..

Bernard snorted in disdain, for once in his life he was saddened by something that had to do with her and it turned out to be a lie at the end..

“Why don’t we just kill her for real this time?! you think it was right to lie about your death?! everyone was so devastated by the news-

“Ah! father-in-law, I missed your scoldings and our little banters the most, I had to do that to put my killer behind bars” She defended herself..

If She hadn’t faked her death, Rihanna would have been roaming around freely while an innocent person would be receiving her punishment..

She had finally managed to get that pest out of her son’s life, he can now focus on Olivia and Kelvin..

Everything she had always hoped and wished for was gradually falling into place, except that Aldrin was still upset with her..

It hurt her the more he tried to avoid her gaze and advances..

“Aldrin-

Aldrin stood up from the couch and made his way out of the living room paying deaf ears to her screams..

“Aldrin!”

***

Aldrin closed the door behind him with a bang, was he upset? No! he was mad and furious at his wife..

There had been a point he had thought of taking his own life just so he could be with her in the afterlife, after she showed up this afternoon, he now realized how lame and stupid that thought was..

He wasn’t the least surprised when the door opened and her wail reached his ears..

“Do you think I loved what I did? I did that for our happiness, why are you so upset to see me alive? do you want me dead instead? I’ll just go and jump off the balcony if that would make you happy”

Anita turned around ready to leave, but her movement was halted when she felt Aldrin’s arm around her waist..

“Have you lost your mind? you want to kill yourself? come on, jump off the roof and watch me get married to Tracy-

Anita’s sobs died down, she turned around and faced him sniffing back her tears..

“To hell with her! I’m not dead alright?! and if eventually I do, I’m taking you with me.. I don’t want her perching around you once I’m gone”

Aldrin chuckled pulling her back into his arms, she was such a crazy woman..

“I missed you honey, I thought I had lost you for good, don’t you ever dare to play that trick with me again.. do you get that?”

Anita nodded and placed her head on his chest..
