Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Anita was left speechless as Alexa’s words replayed over and over again in her mind, Rihanna and long beard weren’t spared from the shock either..

“What?”

She found it hard to believe, given her daughter’s high taste and perfection in everything, she couldn’t digest the fact that she’d be entangled with a guy who looked just like a thug..

Long beard avoided the older woman’s piercing and scrutinizing gaze, he was doomed and he knew it!

This brat only dug his grave even deeper, coming here was infact the worst idea he has ever had..

“Yes mum.. this is Ethan.. my boyfriend” Alexa confirmed again through clenched teeth, this was the best way to quench her mum’s lurking mind.

“Oh.. why does he look like he has been starved?.. I know everyone has choices but I think Asher is way better than-

“Mum! he’s right here.. you can’t keep saying mean things about him in his presence”

Anita forced a smile at the young man, he emitted a dangerous aura and by the look of things, he seemed to be nervous..

“So which family does he belong to?” She questioned once more with an arched brow..

Alexa’s face paled, her mum was the leader of the women’s blah blah blah, so she practically knew the top wealthy family in the country..

She couldn’t settle for less or else her lie will be caught..

‘I’m doomed!’ she screamed inwardly hoping for a miracle to occur, just anything!

Luckily for her, a knock came on her door once more..

“Mrs Sterling.. master has requested your presence in the courtyard” The servant at the door relayed..

Anita gasped softly, she had almost forgotten that Aldrin was supposed to teach her how to play football since they couldn’t go out of their homes due to the scandal..

“Well.. I’ll be going down to join your dad in the courtyard.. and I certainly hope you both break up before lunch time” She said meaningfully staring at the figure who hadn’t said a word..

He gave her a small bow which she returned with a sneer..

As soon as Anita was home, they all breathed a sigh of relief..

“Did you see what you’ve caused? now my mum and her precious son has seen your ugly face.. do you have any idea what that might cost us?!”

Long beard snorted and walked to the window, without sparing them a glance, he climbed out skillfully..

“Sh*t!”

Damien sat up from his swerving seat when a fast image flashed through his mind, he recalled something strange last night..

His door opened and Bella hurried in “Boss we were able to get the footage from last night”

He stretched forth his hand and accepted the flash drive she offered to him before inserting it by the side of his laptop..

Last night he spotted Alexa talking to the man who tried to have his way with Olivia, his brows knotted in suspicion.

That man looked too shabby to be at the party last night, but he couldn’t have snuck his way in, it was heavily guarded last night..

Unless someone gave him an invitation card, whoever this person was, certainly doesn’t like Olivia and wants her to be humiliated..

He shut his eyes tightly as his mind pieced one or two thoughts together, he shook his head trying hard to convince himself that this had nothing to do with Rihanna and Alexa..

He leaned back on his seat watching the footage covering the area of the hotel room..

“Someone tampered with this..” Damien declared as he closed down the laptop, it didn’t show anyone approaching the room..

“Boss i-

“Find out who did it..” He hesitated to complete his sentence..

Bella had almost reached the door when she heard him speak up once more.

“And find out if Rihanna Brown or Alexa visited that hotel today”

Bella gave a nod and left the office leaving Damien to his thoughts, he couldn’t think of anyone other than them who held a grudge against Olivia..

Just because of this incident, he had to work on a Sunday to gather more information about that strange man..

There was nothing like taking a leisure stroll on the streets of L. A. The afternoon breeze swooshed gently brushing Bianca’s hair..

“Ah! the freedom!”

A genuine smile spread across her face, and just when she thought her happiness was going to last long..

A red sport car parked right beside her abruptly, she was startled for a second there, the glass rolled down to reveal the mischievous smile from Xander..

She took in a deep breath calming her nerves down, she really fought the urge to smack the smile off his face..

Her eyes wandered to the person on the driver’s seat who was none other than Charles..

“Hey babe” He teased knowing fully well that she hated that endearing so much..

Bianca clenched and unclenched her fists, she pulled her gaze off them and started walking away, she wasn’t the least surprised when Xander hopped out of the car and chased after her..

“I was on my way to your apartment, I thought you might want to hang out”

Bianca stopped on her tracks, she turned back to the pest chasing after her..

“Yeah I’d have loved to hang out… ALONE!”

Xander snapped a brow, he felt that Bianca was mad at him over something he knew nothing about, she talks nicely to every other guy he had seen her with..

But when it comes to him, she becomes a snapping tigress..

“Don’t be ridiculous Bianca.. I know you’re quite troubled after what happened last night.. but I’m here to help you feel better.. just give me a chance”

She tilted her head to the side as her hands crossed beneath her bossom..

“Can you blow my mind if I give you a chance?” She inquired with a raised brow to see the latter’s jaw drop in shock..

Was she really giving him an option?

“See? you can’t! then stop bugging me!” she stated and left him standing with his mouth agape..

Charles stepped out of the car, his brows drew together seeing his cousin’s frozen self, he walked slowly to him and nudged him a little..

“Hey what’s wrong? were you rejected by her again?”

Xander snapped out of his daze and turned around to his cousin..

“She… she tried to flirt with me just now” he murmured in disbelief..Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Anita threw a towel at Aldrin’s sweaty face, they had just finished playing around the courtyard, it might sound weird but that was like a normal routine for them on Sundays..

Aldrin caught the towel before it falls, he walked to the closet scrummaging through it to find something suitable to wear..

“Honey.. you won’t believe this.. Alexa brought a man home claiming he was her boyfriend”

Aldrin took a glance at her over his shoulder, he doubted if that was possible, his daughter never talked about the opposite gender for once..

“Uh.. I guess we should be happy for her”

Anita snorted and walked closer to him, she poked his side a little..

“Happy my foot! I know we aren’t so close.. just because she thinks I love Damien a little more than her..”

Aldrin arched a brow, well that was exactly the truth.. infact his son held the highest place in her heart before him and he knew it..

“Well she’s not wrong.. I know I’m not supposed to be jealous about your unbreakable bond with Damien.. but, you love him more than anyone else.. even me” he said with a pout..

“Oh come on! quit whining.. the whole point is that Alexa’s so called boyfriend is a little bit off.. he looks weird and awful.. I bet he’s Rihanna’s lover, Alexa was simply covering up for her”

The door pushed open as Alexa stepped into the room without knocking as always, she stared boredly at the two..

Must they always be together whenever she comes into their room?

“Hey baby” Aldrin called out softly to her rummaging through the closet once more..

“Dad.. can I have your wallet?”

“Sure it’s over there on the bed” he murmured without turning back to her..

Meanwhile Anita’s brows collided, this was the second time Alexa was coming into this room to ask for the same thing..

“Hold on a second honey.. something really weird has been going on with her lately.. what do you need his wallet for?”

Alexa rolled her eyes, she really wasn’t ready for this, she had two days to get the required amount to pay up long beard otherwise he’d expose she and Rihanna..

“I need it for something urgent” She answered back impatiently..

Anita took a step forward to her with a narrowed gaze,..

“What happened to your card? I thought your dad gifted you one a few weeks ago.. Oh My God! you’re not into drugs are you?! this has nothing to do with your weird and ugly boyfriend right??”
