Chapter 76_ Get engaged 1
Long beard crashed on the sofa after a punch was sent to his face by Damien, he sat up moving back on the sofa as the figure drew nearer to him…
Damien grabbed the collar of his unbuttoned shirt and pulled him up glaring ice cold daggers at him, his pupils dilated at the thought of what this despicable soul was about to do to Olivia..
“How dare you lay a finger on her?!” he barked sending a kick to long beard’s gut..
“Pl.. ea.. se spare me.. I haven’t touched her yet.. the reporters-
Damien heard the sounds of footsteps approaching the room, he pulled the latter by his collar and dragged him to bathroom after which he locked it ..
His gaze fell on Olivia whose dress was a bit out of place, by the sounds and voices approaching, he knew that it was the reporters coming..
If they were to find him in the room with Olivia, they might get into a messy scandal.. and without wasting any time..
He hovered over her and pulled the sheet covering them thoroughly, the door burst open as ten reporters with a few camera men stepped in..
They gasped at the sight, though they weren’t able to make out who it was on the bed..
“Are we at the right room?” one of them whispered for the other to shrug, they turned around to leave the room..
Meanwhile..
Damien’s gaze widened as his eyes fell on the once sleeping lady beneath him whose amber eyes were now round like saucers..
“Arrghhh!!!” she shrieked out pushing him off her, the duvet fell off their body revealing them to the reporters who were previously on their way out..
Clicks, flash and questions filled the room as the two figures exchanged brief glances, Damien climbed out of the bed and immediately helped Olivia too..
They made their way out of the hotel room being chased by the pesty media’s behind them..
“You do realize what this mean right? if you hadn’t pushed me off and revealed our faces.. none of these would have happened!” Damien breathed out.
Olivia panted slightly trying to keep up with his pace, how did she end up there in the room in the first place?
“I had to scream! what were you even doing on top of me?”
Damien stopped running and faced her “I was trying to save you! I saw some man trying to take advantage of you..”
Her brows furrowed, a man? it suddenly dropped on her, she recalled being forcefully held by a strong arm..
Nathalie!
She gritted her teeth in anger, how could she have fallen for a trick like that?!

The rest of the family met up with Olivia and Damien and soon after the reporters flocked around them throwing questions at them..
“Mr Sterling.. are you having an affair with this woman?”
“Mr Sterling aren’t you engaged to Rihanna Brown? or are you cheating on her?”
Alexa and Rihanna exchanged gazes, the plan backfired really hard!
Old Sterling sent a cold glance to his grandson who was still clutching onto Olivia when everything that was happening was clearly her fault!
The guards were quick to rescue them from the reporters when their questions got intense, the Sterling’s were led away except for Anita who had a solemn look on her face..
Aldrin turned back with a frown when he didn’t spot his wife by his side, he made his way to her..
“Let’s go Anita..”
She held back his arm sniffing back tears that were not even there to begin with..
“Mrs Sterling! do you know about your son’s affair with that woman?”
“Mrs Sterling.. does this have any thing to do with the feud between you and Mrs Brown?”
Anita dabbed her white hankie under her eye lids wiping her invisible tears..
“My son isn’t having an affair.. infact! that lady is his soon to be wife.. they also have a son together, the engagement between the Sterling’s and the Brown’s ended a few weeks ago”
Aldrin’s eyes rounded, he’s dead! his dad would kill him!
He took hold of her hand and instantly led her away while the pests chased after them demanding more answers to their questions..

The next morning, the whole country was left talking about last night’s incident, footages of Damien and Olivia running out of the room we’re being aired on every news channel..
“According from sources, this lady has a son who looked like Damien Sterling.. Which leaves everyone to question what exactly is going on within these rich families?..”
Bernard massaged his temples as he listened to the reporters talking about last night’s disaster.. everyone of the Sterling’s and the Brown’s were all seated before him in the large living room with a pin drop silence except for the TV news..
They could even hear the sound of their eyes blinking..
“Damien.. didn’t I warn you about this?! look at what you’ve done!”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“I didn’t do anything grand father.. I did the right thing by saving Olivia from a huge backlash that would have been way worse than this! haven’t I made my decision clear?!”
Anita nodded to his words “Yes father.. it’s quite unfortunate that things ended that way last night.. just when I was starting to like Rihanna” She sobbed gently..
Rihanna sat up with glee in her eyes, Anita Sterling was beginning to like her?
Anita’s voice was heard next on the TV where she had publicly claimed to know about Damien and Olivia’s.. she only made matters worse or good in a way..
She sank back on her seat with a weird smile on her face seeing as she was now the center of attraction..
“Aldrin! where were you!”
Aldrin sat up with a frown staring at his dad who looked like he was about to hurl the vase sitting next to him..
“Me? how is this even my fault in anyway? I’m not the one being shown on the news”

Meanwhile over here at Olivia’s house, everyone seemed to be living their normal lives like nothing happened last night..
“Pass me the butter Bianca” Sandy chirmed with a bright smile on her face..
Well Olivia was done with it, she dropped her cutlery harshly on the table the next second..
“Seriously?! no one is going to talk about what happened last night?”
Cassie pulled out the seat next to Olivia and began spreading butter on Olivia’s bread..
“What should we say? you’re now popular, everyone is talking about you and Damien” She chuckled..
Seriously? even her mum? Bianca? nothing? she knew last night was going to be the end of her normal life..
“People are addressing me as his secret lover, home wrecker and his mistress! one even called me a baby mama!”
Bianca pointed her fork at Olivia’s face with a teasing grin on her lips..
“Then you have no choice than to get into a relationship with him.. take this as an opportunity to start your life afresh with your child’s father..”
“Yes honey.. You’ve been exposed to the world now.. and it’s only right if you hide under Damien’s wings for protection” Sandy reasoned..
Olivia sprang up to her feet staring at each of them like they were imposters..
“Everyone in that family literally hates me.. even Damien isn’t as pure as he looks.. I’m sure he has some ulterior motives”
“Anita likes you a lot.. and as for Damien, his ulterior motives is just to have you and Kelvin in his life”
The doorbell rang startling them out of their conversation, Kelvin’s shrills followed suite as he raced down the stairs..
“Yay!! daddy is here!!”
He sped past them like lightening and pulled the door open a little..
His face fell as he saw the unfamiliar man standing in front of him, he took a glance behind them hoping to see Damien behind the huge man..
Sure enough, he recognized the black Maybach to be Damien’s car..
“Where is daddy?” He questioned with his hands on his hips..
Olivia pulled the door wide open to take a look at who her son was talking to, her eyes dimmed even more, yay! great!
The Sterling’s were at it again, she crossed her arm beneath her bossom..
“What? are you here to abduct us again? or perhaps throw us out of the city?”
The guard bowed before Olivia which drew a line of confusion on her forehead..
“Good morning young miss.. Elder Sterling has requested your presence at the Sterling’s ancestral home urgently..”
Sandy’s squeal burst through the door, she shoved her daughter aside and stood in front of the guard with an awkwardly wide grin on her face..
“Just send the address she’ll be-
“We were assigned to bring her along with her son” The guard relayed once more..
Sandy gasped out softly “one sec”
She slammed the door shut and turned to Olivia with a teasing grin..
“What mum? I’m not going over there!”
“You will honey.. I’m very sure that old man is thinking just exactly what I’m thinking about.. the guard even addressed you as young miss”
The other two who were sitting at the dining stared dreamily at Olivia..
It seemed everyone in her apartment has completely lost their minds!
