Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia gasped and tried to pull her hair out of his grip but he wasn’t willing to let go of it yet..

Bianca’s legs involuntarily moved close to the two, she raised her head up to Damien who pointed at something ahead of her..Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She followed the direction of his finger and almost immediately a gasp escaped her lips as her hair cascaded down her shoulder..

She turned to him in surprise and was even more speechless when she saw him tie Olivia’s hair into a ponytail with her hair band..

Olivia touched her hair and turned around to face him..

“What the heck?”

Damien stared ahead of him with a blank expression on his face..

“Work resumes by 8:00 am tomorrow morning don’t forget that”

He didn’t give her a chance to object to it before he walked to the black Mercedes Benz waiting for him which was opened by a guard..

“Bye daddy” Kelvin waved..

Olivia’s teeth gritted in anger, who does he think he is to order her?.

“He’s cool alright”

She snapped her head to Bianca who just spoke, cool? in what way exactly?

“What?”

Tracy sighed for the umpteenth time staring at her daughter’s closed door, she had refused to come out ever since she returned from the Sterling’s ancestral home..

“She’s really upset, what are we supposed to do about this Asher? our image will be tarnished in the society if they find out that Rihanna’s wedding won’t be taking place”

Heaven knew how much she had bragged about this wedding to her friends, and to top it all, she might be ridiculed by the high class women whenever they call for a meeting..

The high class women meeting were meant for the Wealthy women in the society, She was ranked third while Anita Sterling was ranked first and also the leader of this meeting, the second position was given to the lady of the Gray’s.

“Maybe if grand father returns from his vacation, he’ll be able to handle this, after all he’s friends with Bernard Sterling”

Tracy sighed, what bugged her the most was how Anita was going to rub this all over her face, this alliance between the two families was her biggest pride and now it has been smashed..

“Do me a favor son, send me the address of that lady who dared to ruin my daughter’s relationship with Damien”

Bianca stepped out of the cab and took a glance at the huge hotel in front of her, she settled her fare and was about to go in when she spotted a familiar face going into the building..

she snorted in disdain, he was no other person than Xander Gray, the dummy who had showed up at her apartment claiming to be her boyfriend in front of her mum..

Her phone rang out and when she saw the caller id, she swiped the answer button..

“I’ll be there soon just give me a few minutes”

She tucked her phone away and walked into the building with a sigh..

***

Kiara chewed on the bottom of her pencil as she tried to take a peek at Kelvin’s homework, he caught her in the act and screamed at the top of his lungs..

“Mummy, Kiara is trying to copy me!”

Olivia took a glance at them from the opened kitchen and sighed..

“You complain about every little thing Kelvin, she’s your friend.. help her out and stop whining”

Kiara giggled and snatched his book from the table..

Kelvin reached out to grab it but she took off to her heels which left him no other choice than to run after her around the table..

Olivia turned back to them and shook her head slowly, one day these two might be the end of her..

“Let me have it Kiara!”

“Catch me first!”

She took out her phone from her the pocket on her apron, she took a glance at the unfamiliar number and frowned..

She raised it up to her ear after a lit contemplation “Hi?”

Olivia raised her other hand to her other ear, when the kids noises got intense..

“is this Olivia Parker?”

She straightened up at once when she heard the deep male voice at the background..

“Yes, I am”

“Well we’ve detained a certain miss Bianca Greg for attempted murder”

Olivia’s eyes rounded in shock, attempted murder? what?

“what?!”

She had always known Bianca for her bad temper and knew that one day she’d murder someone if she wasn’t control, but who knew that ‘one day’ will be today?

She pulled off her apron and turned off the cooker, “Baby, take Kiara up to your room alright? and please pack your books into your backpack”

“Hi mum, please could you stop by at my apartment to look after Kelvin and Kiara? something just popped up”

***

Olivia bursted through the police station’s front doors, her eyes were wide with worry and urgency.

She rushed up to the reception desk, out of breath, and exclaimed.

“I need to bail my friend out! She’s been accused of attempted murder, but it’s a mistake! She didn’t do it! I’m very sure of that!”

The officer behind the desk looked up from his paperwork, slightly surprised by the lady’s sudden arrival.

“Ma’am, please calm down. What’s your friend’s name?”

Olivia took in a deep breath, trying to compose herself.

“Her name is Bianca Greg. She was brought in a little while ago. Please, you have to help me! She’s innocent, I know it!”

The officer nodded sympathetically and began typing on his computer.

“Let me check on her status…” he paused for a while before looking back up to Olivia.

“Okay, yes, Bianca Greg is being held here. Bail has been set at $50, 000.”

Olivia’s eyes widened in shock, where was she gonna get that huge amount of money from? neither she nor Bianca had a proper job as of now.

“That’s outrageous! I need to speak to someone in charge, please!”

The officer nodded and picked up the phone, calling for a supervisor to assist.

Meanwhile, Olivia paced back and forth in the lobby, her mind racing with thoughts of how to prove her friend’s innocence and get her released.

She wondered who filed such a complaint against Bianca in the first place?

She approached the officer again, her voice firm but controlled. “I want to know who lodged the complaint against Bianca. I have a right to know who’s accusing her of this heinous crime!”

The officer hesitated, he took a glance at their supervisor, who just arrived.

“Ma’am, I understand your concern, but the identity of the complainant is protected for their own safety and privacy.”

Olivia’s eyes narrowed. “That’s ridiculous! If someone’s going to ruin my friend’s life with false accusations, they should at least have the courage to face her and me!”

The supervisor stepped forward, calmly but firmly.

“I understand your frustration, ma’am, but our procedures are in place for a reason. However, I can offer you a chance to speak with the detective handling the case. He can provide more information and answer your questions.”

Olivia’s amber eyes sets in determination. “I want to see the detective now. And I want to know who’s behind this vicious lie!”

The supervisor nodded and led her to a nearby interview room, gesturing for her to take a seat. “Detective James will be with you shortly.”

“But can’t you at least tell me who reported this case? I’d like to know.. please”

“I did!”

Olivia turned around swiftly where she came face to face with the fool who had a wide grin on his lips..

His brown orbs glowed with pride and a bit of mockery in them..

“Asher!”

Her teeth gritted in annoyance, she walked to him with furrowed brows..

“You did this?!”

Asher nonchalantly took a seat on one of the wooden chairs in the office and nodded his head in affirmation..

“I did! is anything wrong?”

Olivia lowered her gaze to him “In as much as I know about Bianca’s bad temper, I also know well enough that she wouldn’t attack unless she had been provoked or attacked first!”

Asher tilted his head to the side taking in the angry lady’s beautiful figure..

He slowly returned his gaze to her with a smile “You are too young and pretty to be a mother of a six year old, maybe if you’re willing to offer yourself.. just maybe I might release your friend…

No sooner had the words fell out of his mouth that he received a resounding slap in return, his face fell to the other side..

“If you dare try to flirt with me, I’ll make sure that my finger prints never leaves your face again! withdraw your complaints and I’ll let this slide!”

Asher stood up overshadowing her with his height, he glared down at her before a chuckle escaped his lips..

“you sure are brave, and I like it! anyway your dear friend tried to kill me today by pushing me in front of a moving car!”

“And by the look of things, you’re really hurt and unable to move from the sick bed” Olivia added in sarcasm..

Asher gave a nod to the supervisor who was patiently listening to them..

“I’ll only withdraw my complaint against your friend if you convince Damien to get married to my sister or you can just bail her out!”

Olivia’s knuckles tightened by her side, but she was a little bit confused, Did Damien and Rihanna really break up because of her?

“You’re being quiet! he’s blackmailing me! do something about it!”

The officer shrugged and relaxed back on his seat “I mean he is giving you an option right?”

A cop suddenly ran into the room and saluted to his superior..

“Sir! Mr Xander Gray is here!”
