Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia closed her laptop shut pushing it aside on her desk, she was done with her pending tasks for today..

She took a quick peek at Damien at the other end who was deeply engrossed in whatever he was reading..

He hadn’t spoken a word to her right after they left the restroom a few hours ago, it seemed like he was still mad at her.

But she had equal rights to be mad at him too after all, he was keeping something away from her..

She arranged her desk before picking up her purse resting by the side of her desk, a sigh escaped her lips at the thought of seeking permission from him before leaving..

Making her way out of the office, she cleared her throat to gain his attention, he raised his head from the book he was reading..

“Umm.. I’d be leaving first”

Damien brought his wrist a bit closer to his face peering at his wrist watch, he stared briefly back at her…

“Why are you in a hurry to leave? do you have plans with anyone tonight?” He questioned meaningfully with an underlying tone to his words..

“What?.. I’m done for today and besides that, Kelvin needs my attention.. he’s still hurt and i-

“I’ll drop you off then” He concluded rising up to his feet, he closed the book he was reading placing it on a small shelf next to his side…

But Olivia was quick to decline his offer, “I’ll take a cab.. you don’t need to bother”

Before he could object to her words, she turned on her heels and left the office in a rush which made him frown deeply..

A sleek black car rolled up to Olivia unexpectedly as soon as she stepped out of the glass building, her brows drew together staring at the tinted glass of the car..

Whoever that was in there was surely wealthy to afford a car like this..

The door opened as a tall figure emerged out of it, his brown orbs fell on the lady who had an annoyed expression on her face..

He buttoned up his suit jacket as he approached her with a dashing smile on his lips..

“Hi”

Olivia narrowed her gaze at him, the last person she wanted to see right now was him! she swerved to the left just before he could stand before her..

As if reading her mind, he stretched out one of his arm blocking her path to stop her movement which he succeeded in doing..

“Hold on a moment Olivia.. it’s been quite a while, let’s go somewhere private and talk”

“I have no business with you Asher! just get lost!” She stressed out each word pointing a finger to his face..

He drew in a deep breath taking her hand in his, his long fingers slowly caressed the shiny object on her finger which he recognized instantly, this was one of the most treasured heirloom of the Sterling’s..

He recalled how his sister, Rihanna, had dreamt of wearing this on her finger one day but her dream could only remain a dream as of now…

“I need to talk to you urgently.. hop in.. I’ll give you a ride home”

Olivia retracted her hand from his sending a sharp glare to him..

“I have nothing to say to you! and don’t try to touch me or else I won’t hesitate to imprint my fingers on your ugly face!”

He reached his hand to her arm only for her to be pulled away from his reach by another tall figure, Asher snorted in disdain meeting the cold gaze of the person who just snatched Olivia out of his grip..

Olivia’s heart thumped as her back touched a solid build behind her, his familiar cologne reached her nose surprisingly making her feel safe..

“It appears to me that you’re tired of using your hands..” Damien’s chilly tone came rendering Asher speechless..

Asher chuckled finally finding his voice to retort “Are you one to decide that?”

Bianca rejected the bottled water outstretched to her by Xander, this was the fifth time he was persuading her to take a sip when clearly she doesn’t need it..

“Will you please talk to me? we came here for a reason right?”

Bianca corked a brow staring at him with nothing but amusement in her facial expression..

“One of your psycho girlfriends tried to harm me few minutes back! you cheap liar! I knew there was nothing good about you!”

Xander placed the bottled water on the roof of his red sports car and held her shoulder turning her around to face him once more..

Her hand crossed over her chest waiting patiently for whatever lie he was about to tell her..

Tonight might have gone well if that psycho didn’t show up..

“And you thought her a lesson.. I’m willing to change for you Bianca that was why I asked for a chance isn’t it?”

She shook his hands off her shoulder unable to put up with anymore of his lies..

“I just needed a chance to prove you wrong.. and yeah I just did.. so I hope in the future you’ll stay very far away from me!”

Having said her mind, she turned around to leave only to find herself in his arms, his arm held her waist not willing to let go yet..

She gasped softly by the sudden collision between them..

“At least listen to what I have to say.. yeah she was one of my-

“Flings?” she questioned interrupting his sentence, her tone held nothing but sarcasm in them..

A dry chuckle escaped her lips on hearing no words from him.. he was mute which meant that she was right..

“But I have nothing to do with her anymore Bianca.. I’ve cut all my relationship with them just for you.. why don’t you see the good part in me?”

Her eyes slowly wandered around as soon as she felt gazes on her, they were currently the center of attraction..

And their position wasn’t a good one for the public to see either, what if they tag her as one of his numerous b*tches?

She stepped out of his hold forcing a tight smile at him..

“Don’t hold me that way anymore! I don’t want to be involved in any news scandal with you!” She gritted releasing a deep breath..

A teasing grin appeared by the corner of Xander’s lips, he loved it whenever she turned red from blushing too much..

He was a little surprised that he was able to see this reaction from her and to think that he was the cause of it made him beam even more..

He leaned down a bit to her freezing her with his ocean like eyes, her eyes widened a bit probably because she knew what he was about to do..

“Don’t!”

Unfortunately for her, he was faster, his lips pressed against her cheek before she could take a step back..

From a distance, a lady holding a binocular gasped softly, she raised the binocular to her eyes once more zooming in on the face of the lady standing next to her son..

“I knew it!” She exclaimed jerking the driver from his seat..

“Ma’am should I go get him?”

Mrs Gray smacked his head a little with the pink colored binocular she was holding..

“You little fool! can’t you see how happy he is? find out who that lady is this minute!.. I’ll keep a close eye on them”

After giving her instructions to her driver, she stepped out of the black car, she had a black scarf and black sunglasses on to disguise herself…

Damien brought Olivia gently to his side, in as much as he badly wanted to send a blow to Asher’s face, he just couldn’t with Olivia watching..

She’d probably find this as another reason to stay mad at him even though she was still mad at him… well he was too..

“I won’t tolerate you touching my fiancee”

A smug smile spread across Asher’s face, though hearing the word ‘fiancee’ annoyed him so much he still managed to maintain his steeze..

“She’s not a piece of land for you to claim Damien.. and you of all people shouldn’t be allowed to come near any other lady, we all know how your last fiancee who happened to be my sister ended up..”

Olivia’s hand went to her temples, she wasn’t going to watch another fight happen right in front of her again..

“Your sister wasn’t worth it..” Damien retorted causing a certain body to freeze up right behind them..

“Umm I’d just get going”

She took a step ready to leave only to be caught back by her hair..

“I’d drop you off.. I don’t want you running into other men on your way home” Damien uttered meaningfully sending a brief glance to Asher..

Her face fell at his words, doesn’t he realize that he was also one of the ‘Other men’ ?Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

He released his gentle grip on her hair and took her hands in his, she gave him a tight squeeze in an attempt to break free from his grip..

Instead, he led her to his car parked a distance away from Asher’s car, he guided her in and got in afterwards..

Asher pulled his gaze away from the black car as it sped past him, his eyes fell on Rihanna who was standing a few metres away from him..

“Riha-

She took off to her heels going to God knows where..
