Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

The morning golden rays seeped into a suite where two figures lay entangled on the bed with an even breathing..

The phone next to the nightstand table beeped which woke Damien from his slumber, his eyes fluttered open only to close back as soon as the soft rays penetrated into his warm grey orbs..

He made an attempt to raise his hand over his face to block the morning rays and that was when he noticed the awkward position he was in with the lady who was sleeping next to him..

He snapped his head to Olivia whose leg was on his groin, while her hand was placed firmly on his chest in a possessive manner..

He picked up his phone from the drawer beside him and took a quick photo of their posture, just for future purposes..

*Hehehe*

His gaze fell on her face, that looked calm, her blonde hair sprawled on the pillow her head was resting on, she looked so gentle and innocent until…

Her amber eyes snapped open startling Damien whose attention was deeply engrossed in staring at her face..

“You! what were you trying to do to me?.. did you-

“I should be asking you that!” Damien curtly said pushing her hand off his chest..

Olivia pulled her leg off him in embarrassment, so much for taking the biggest part of the bed, she suddenly wished to vanish completely after seeing the teasing grin at the corner of Damien’s lips..

“Well.. don’t think too much about it” Olivia murmured which was loud enough for him to head..

Damien pulled the duvet off and stepped down from the bed with a mocking smile..

“I wouldn’t say that if I were you.. after all not all ladies are entitled to sleep next to me.. go on, go write it out in your little diary!” He scorned and turned around to leave for the closet when he turned back to her again..

“And also.. don’t forget to order some clothes.. it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to run around in your undies”

Olivia’s cheeks burned, just how on earth was he comfortable saying all these? and how come she slept so peacefully last night despite knowing that a man slept next to her all throughout the night?..

“What do you mean by that?” She seethed in annoyance, she followed his line of sight only for her to see one of the red lacy panties her mum got for her on the floor next to her luggage…

She hopped down from the bed in the next second and picked it up, she wondered how much redder she could get this morning..

Damien chuckled and walked a few steps closer to her..

“Why? you’re suddenly quiet and embarrassed? don’t worry it’s definitely not the worst I’ve seen.. red is cute too” He jested which Olivia didn’t find funny at all, she squeezed the panties in her palm glaring daggers at him..

Anita rolled her eyes staring at something on her phone, it was Tracy’s recent post on Instagram showing off her ugly face..

“So ugly!” She snorted in disdain, Aldrin who was knotting his tie took a peek at what his wife was talking about..

“There’s nothing wrong with the pictures honey, sometimes you behave really jealous”

Anita snapped her gaze up to him, she pushed her seat back and stood up still maintaining eye contact with him..

“I’m jealous? or you probably like her just the way your dad does” she said with a pout..

Aldrin placed both of his hand on her shoulder, he wasn’t ready for her drama’s this beautiful morning, he had to rush to the company to take care of some things since Damien was currently at Chicago handling things over there..

“Was I supposed to hate her because of the feud between you both? Bruce and Tracy are well acquainted to our family.. how could you even –

“In other words you like her” Anita replied curtly cutting him off his speech, her eyes narrowed at him when he didn’t try to deny it..

“Well guess what?! I like Bruce too!”

Aldrin watched her back leaving the room in a hurry before the door was slammed shut, he exhaled deeply, this was a really big issue..

He knew his wife well enough by now, she’d probably stop sleeping in their room if he didn’t fix this on time..

He pulled out his phone quickly, maybe Damien could help, after all she listens to her son way more than him..

The door opened once more to reveal Anita’s annoyed expression, he raised his head back to her while she folded her arm beneath her bossom..

“Seriously?! you aren’t going to run after me?”

Aldrin opened his mouth to speak but the door closed once more..

Alexa placed her phone to her ear still in her drowsy state, she was still asleep when her phone rang on her bed..

Whatever she heard at the other end made her sit up immediately, she brushed her dark hair to the back using her fingers..

“You really left? after everything I told you? come on Rihanna.. you’re much better than that..”

Rihanna groaned out in displeasure, she hated it whenever her plan didn’t sit well with Alexa but either ways there was nothing she could do since the plane already took off..

“There’s no point.. I’m already thousands of feet off the ground.. I’m currently in the restroom alright? I’ll give you a call once I get there”

Alexa tugged her hair and hummed in reply, she disconnected the call before she tossed her phone aside..

“She’s crazy”

She stepped out of bed in her pink colored PJs, her feet found her fluffy bear slippers which she slipped on and made her way to the bathroom for a quick brush…..

After a while, her stomach grumbled fiercely, she left her room and at the same time, Becky stepped out of the room opposite Alexa’s with a small yawn escaping her mouth..

“Oh good morning Alexa, hope you-

Alexa walked past her and made her way down the stairs to the dining table where she met everyone seated..

“There you are! we’ve been waiting so long for you.. come on join us” Aldrin called out only for Alexa to smile giddily, at least someone still cared a lot about her..

She walked towards the empty seat beside him where he was patting gently..

“What are you doing Alexa?” Aldrin asked staring at the seat then back to her face..

Alexa’s brows furrowed in confusion, not until she was gently shoved aside by Becky, she watched the latter take a seat on the spot that she originally thought was reserved for her by her dad..

“Excuse me!”

Everyone’s attention fell on Alexa who just called out to Becky..

“Is something wrong Alexa? take a seat and stop creating a scene..”

She turned sharply to her mum who just spoke, “I didn’t ask for your interference mum! this fatty just took my seat and you think I’m creating a scene?”

Bernard pulled his gaze off Alexa and diverted it to his son..Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Aldrin.. you’re aware of Bruce return, call him over today.. we need to discuss the possibility of renewing our alliance with a different person since your son is now old enough to make his own decisions..”

Alexa fell quiet, she hoped it wasn’t what she was thinking right now, were they still on this? she really didn’t want to form a relationship with Asher even though he happened to her bestie’s older brother..

“Yes dad.. I already spoke to Tracy about it, and she agreed.. so let’s hope Bruce also agrees to this alliance between Asher and Alexa” Aldrin said in a lowered tone..

“Haven’t I told you all that I don’t want to –

“What?.. of course you should be happy.. after all Rihanna is your bestie..” Anita added firmly cutting Alexa’s speech off.

“I agree with aunt though.. I don’t think Asher is a bad guy, he seems cool to me as of now..”

Except that he was a big bully..

Alexa suddenly grabbed Becky and pulled her up from her seat with a chilly glare directed at her..

“Just because your last name is Sterling.. doesn’t necessarily mean you have the right to input your opinions in this family’s discussion.. so how about you just sit!, eat! and get fat! just like how your mum used to be!”

Everyone’s cutlery dropped the moment a slap fell on Alexa’s face..

They held their breath in astonishment, one thing they knew quite well was that, this wouldn’t end well..
