Chapter 40_ I don’t regret it!
Damien pulled his gaze off her to his phone that just rang out.
Her mum seems cool and nice but when it came to her, she was the exact opposite.
“Yes?”
Olivia noticed the change in his expression when he answered the phone call..
“Alright.. I’ll get back to you”
Damien placed his phone back on the table, he stood up and walked back to his original seat which was opposite her..
“place your order, I’m afraid this discussion will be postponed to another day, something just popped up”..
Olivia rolled her eyes, like she wanted to tell him anything in the first place..
“There’s never gonna be another day.. and I think what you should be more concerned about is to find out who really abducted my son and I”
She failed to see the anger that flashed past his orbs at that moment..

Patricia stood next to her husband, they both stared at the angry lady who just stepped into their home..
“I never knew the Sterling’s could go back on their words and also abandon people who were once considered family” Tracy murmured in mockery, it was a good thing the old lady was present..
Since she was always absent whenever she came here, which was as a result of her health conditions, however, the old lady was a bit more sensible than her husband and the latter always fulfilled every wishes of his wife….
“We can definitely talk this out Tracy..”
Tracy lifted her hand silencing the old man from speaking any words of comfort, all she needed to see here was action!
Her daughter will not be embarrassed in this way and lose face in the society!
“Not this time.. it’s quite unfortunate that my husband is still out of the country to finalize a business deal.. if not he won’t be able to tolerate this!”
Bernard was just about to speak when he spotted Aldrin coming down with his wife, oh jeez! not her! of all time to come down why now??
He released a deep breath and faced Tracy once more..
“We will definitely sought this out between the children.. it’s very obvious that the reason for their separation is that lady and her kid”
Anita’s brows furrowed, what was she doing here? she was probably here to create a scene or give a lecture about her daughter’s suicide attempt..
Tracy seemed to notice the burning gaze behind her, she turned around to see Anita and her husband who looked like they were about to go to an event..
The two ladies eyes met and a scoff followed suite, Anita was just about to look away when her eyes caught sight of Tracy’s Gucci red purse..
She stared back at her purse which was the same design but black in color..
As if realizing the same thing, Tracy took out her phone and her lip stick out of her purse after which she stopped a servant passing by..
“Here! a gift from me! keep it” she muttered through gritted teeth..
Aldrin took a glance by his side to see his wife pulling out her phone, she pushed the purse to his chest..
“Here! give it to one of your numerous girlfriends!” She said in a firm tone and returned back to her room..
Aldrin clutched the purse to his chest, he smiled sheepishly before tailing behind his wife who was upset..
***
Anita sat on the bed with her hands folded beneath her bossom..
“Anita-
She snapped her gaze elsewhere “Go on.. you were so happy to see her a while ago”
Aldrin pinched the space between his brows in worry..
He placed the purse on the bed and sat next to her..
“You know I can’t stare at any other woman that way except for you.. because I love you and also because I won’t get to see another day if I did.. you’ll obviously kill me”
He murmured which earned a chuckle from her, he placed an arm around her shoulder and pulled her to himself..
“Don’t ever feel insecure about me anymore”
Anita pulled away from him and stood up to her feet..
“I’m not feeling insecure.. don’t think so highly of yourself okay? it was your fault anyway, you shouldn’t have allowed her stare at you that way..”
Aldrin was left perplexed, what exactly was running through her mind..
“Anita.. don’t make this hard for me.. I really didn’t notice that she was there.. I had my whole gaze fixated on you”
“As if”

Asher was startled when his door was pushed open without a knock..
“Who the –
He swallowed his words when a pair of burning grey orbs pierced through him..
“You-
He fell out of his seat after a punch was sent to his face by Damien, he scrambled back to his feet only to receive yet another punch..
“You had the nerves to go after my son and his mum!”
Asher was caught off guard when he was suddenly pushed down to his large desk after which a series of punch followed..
Alexa stepped into the office and was left speechless, she hurried to her brother who was brutally thrashing Asher..
“Big bro.. let go!”
She successfully detached him from Asher, she turned back to the latter who was bleeding from his nose..
“What was that about? you almost killed him!”
Damien yanked her to stand before him, he grabbed her chin with his hand giving it a squeeze..
“Don’t try to act innocent!”
He pulled his hand off her chin harshly “We’ll talk better once we get home! and as for you.. this is just a warning to you!”
Asher grimaced in pain, he sat up on the desk wiping the blood at the corner of his lips..
“I don’t regret it!.. my sister’s life is at stake here! and I will do everything in my power to-
Damien rushed forward to him and sent another punch to his face..
Asher groaned out in pain, he was sure that his nose was already broken..
“Stay away from them! I won’t spare you the next time you lay a finger on them..

Rihanna sat up on her bed when she spotted her mum walking in, she looked behind her as if expecting someone else to come in after her..
“Mum? Damien didn’t come along?”
Tracy took a seat beside Rihanna “He’s never going to come! as long as that mother of his is still breathing!”
Rihanna snorted and stepped out of the bed, so staying in the hospital and pretending that she was depressed wasn’t going to work..
“I think it’s time we call dad and tell him everything or perhaps we’ll call grandpa.. he’s friends with Damien’s grand father”
Tracy stood up and touched her daughter’s shoulder..Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Look honey.. we have to get things done quickly, Damien is about to slip out of your hands, and lastly I’ve been dying to ask you this question! how on earth did Damien entangle with that lady? whereas you’ve always been by his side?”
Rihanna folded her arm beneath her bossom, she had a hunch Kelvin’s existence had something to do with that night six years ago at the party she hosted..
“I have no idea mum..”
***
Sandy rolled her eyes as she listened to Olivia’s one hundred reasons why she won’t get married to Damien..
“Your excuses are ridiculous honey.. the young man is feeling remorseful and yet you don’t acknowledge him”
Olivia chuckled hard, Damien wasn’t feeling remorseful! he only wanted her son’s custody and nothing more.
“But mummy.. I’d really like to stay with the both of you and daddy isn’t bad, I like him very much”
Olivia sneered and pointed to Kelvin, she lowered her head a bit to her mum’s ear..
“See that mum? he also got into Kelvin’s good books, his intentions are not pure at all..”
Bianca pulled off her headphone when she couldn’t take it any more..
“Come on Olivia! you’re obviously jealous of their bond, I also think Damien is a good man but I can’t say the same for his grandfather ”
Olivia was about to retort when the door bell rang..
“I’ll get it”
She walked to the door and pulled it open to reveal an unfamiliar lady grinning from ear to ear…
“Hi”
