Judas kiss

Chapter 12 --Treize.

"Darling, I was stunned." Jeanine said taking a sip of her red wine.

"I can only imagine." Gladys sighed. " I always knew there was something about that girl. Her kindness

is just beyond me, Jenny. No matter how you mistreated her, she never disrespected you instead she

always came to an agreement with you."

"I wish my daughter in law was like Della but all she does is spend my son's money and refuse to get

pregnant." Gladys ran her manicured hands through her wavy brown hair.

"Amber still doesn't wish to give your family an heir?" Jeanine scoffed at her very good friend?Gladys

Mossé?whom she had met during her modeling days. Gladys was also a French model, they often

auditioned together until they both made it big.

"She isn't as graceful as she looks, darling. Danny told me that she told him that they can try for a baby

but-" Gladys paused a sip of her red wine. "But she had been on the pill all along and she is still taking

them."

Jeanine gasped.

Daniel Mossé?was the son of Gladys as well as Andre's childhood friend. They were bound to be

friends from birth, their mothers made them do absolutely everything together from first grade to senior

year to college till now. It sounded cliche but Andre and Daniel regardless of their mothers friendship

they would have still been friends ;even if they had never crossed paths before.

"She didn't dare-" Jeanine said with shock clear on her face.

"She did, well I have to give it to you, you grandson is a beautiful little thing. That little blondie, when I

saw him at the gala ;he looked like a replica of his father."

Jeanine felt awkward talking about this. She hadn't even thought about the little boy, he was graceful

and well mannered but it hadn't registered to her that if he was Andre's son it automatically made her a

grandmother.

ew.

"Oh Leondre." was the only thing she said.

"Andre and Leondre wow Della must really have thought hard when she named her son." Gladys

chuckled but Jeanine kept a straight face, her lips in a thin line.

"You don't seem pleased?" Gladys noted.

"My son has been avoiding me for the whole week, my husband won't even sleep in the same room as

me and Luc he doesn't even care about me." Jeanine ranted with distaste in her voice.

"Well you started this." Gladys added.

"Don't act like you didn't advise me to, in fact you were an accomplice." Jeanine said rolling her eyes.

"I wasn't the one who drugged my own daughter in law, stripped her off her clothes and hired a man to

lay naked next to her so Andre could come back home and find that inglorious scene." Gladys said

without any remorse.

"But I have to give it to you, it worked in your favor for six years." She mumbled.

"Don't act like a glorified soul, you know very well you wouldn't mind doing that to get Amber out of your

life."

"I'm not a fan of Amber but I would never go to that extent, you must have really hated the poor girl."

"Argh don't judge me." Jeanine scoffed but she knew her friend was telling the honest truth without

filter. She remembered how she had instructed the man to pretend like they did this every week behind

Andre's back. Della had been so disorientated that she didn't understand what was going on. She had

woken up naked next to a man she didn't know while Andre stood in front of them demanding answers.

-

"Congratulations to the man of the hour!" Daniel yelled barging into Andre's office. He had brown her

and hazel brown eyes, he had a lean body and was only two inches shorter than his 6'1 best friend.

Andre put his pen down and sighed looking at his rather dramatic friend.

"But hey this isn't fair, I have always wanted a child but God decided to give you yet you were the one

who could never stand kids." Danny said clearly joking before sitting opposite his best friend who

looked appalled.

"You are rather too late." Andre added.

"I promise I would have been there but you knew I was in Hong Kong with the?Shào Fa?enterprises."

He chuckled lightly. "Although, I heard the party was entertaining, your father in law came in flames and

roasted you." Danny burst out laughing, Andre had a small smile on his face.

"Yeah, I deserved it." Andre rubbed it off.

"But back to the main thing ;Della bore you a son. It's good you found out the truth so now you and

Della can live happily ever after with your son."

"I know how miserable you were, buddy." Danny said giving him an understanding look.

"Oh yeah Adela McCarthy wants nothing to do with me. She told me straight to my face." Andre

laughed but deep down it hurt.

"So you are just going to forget the love you both shared, I mean your son is the evidence of that love."

Daniel said in all seriousness, not a hint of a banter in his tone.

"I really hurt her, Danny." He swallowed.

"I know..."

"She is determined, trust me ;she doesn't love me anymore." Andre muttered playing with his pen that

was written Levetté holdings right on the end.

"What about you?" Danny asked sincerely.

"I don't think so no matter how hard I tried, i doubt I ever got over her or even stopped loving her. I was

even considering forgiving her for what she did and-"

"You mean what she didn't do right... my mom told me what your mom did." Daniel interrupted.

"I can't believe my own mother would do that to me." Andre exhaled.

"They think they know what's best for us but they just ruin everything." Daniel paused looking at his

friend who seemed to have spaced out. "It's such a shame we don't get to choose our parents."

-

"I just spoke to my lawyers-" Garreth alerted his daughter who had just entered his huge spacious

office on seventh floor of McCarthy real estate agency. It was her first time here, it reminded her of her

ex-husband.

"Why?" She asked in a confused tone. She sat down straightening her blouse as she made herself

comfortable.

"If that cunt of your ex-husband thinks he is going to take my grandson then I think the bloody hell not."

He hissed. He felt the need to protect Della because he had been absent through out most of her

struggles.

"He didn't say he wants to take him away. We are going to have a joint custody." She said calmly.

"Really?" Garreth scrunched his nose in disbelief.

"Yes, I spoke with him a week back." Della explained.

"What is that kid playing at?" Garreth muttered under his breath. "Don't forget what he put you through,

Adela."

"I know, there is nothing going on between us trust me." She smiled broadly making her father smile a

bit. All he wanted was to see her happy. He didn't want to say anything else that would upset her but he

didn't like the sound of Andre just playing nice. He knew the Levetté's always had something rolled up

under their sleeves. He wanted to get into his daughters life and break her heart again. He wasn't going

to allow that. Garreth was going to protect the only family he had as of now. He didn't care who got hurt

in the process, his daughter had suffered so much under the Levetté family just because they had the

upper hand. He was going to deal with them one by one starting with the witch Jeanine. Garreth

wanted to see the Levetté family bankrupt and begging for mercy at his feet.

"Very well darling." He gave a tense smile.
