Chapter 10_ Speechless!
Alexa’s pupils dilated as soon as her eyes fell on the boy stretching forth his hands towards her, now she understood why his image wasn’t leaving her head..
It was because he looked like someone she knew well, he was the carbon copy of her brother Damien Sterling!
Meanwhile, Rihanna wasn’t spared out of the shock, she completely forgot about the pain she was feeling a while ago and unknowingly got lost staring at the kid..
Alexa was the first to snap out of her daze when the ball was snatched away from her grip by Bianca..
“You! Rihanna this is the annoying kid i was talking about that broke my car!”
Rihanna stood back up to her feet with the help of Alexa, was it only her that saw the resemblance between this kid and her boyfriend?
Bianca tilted her head to the side staring at the two who were looking down at Ray like they’ve seen a ghost..
“Alexa is this Damien’s…
Her voice trailed off, she shook her head to clear off the thoughts she was having, this was a big lie, she hasn’t heard of Damien having a child as far as she knew him, she was the first lady Damien wasn’t repelled to..
“Won’t you apologize for what you did? or weren’t you taught manners by your parents?!” Rihanna suddenly barked out loud..
Kelvin’s brows furrowed, he hated it whenever someone questions his parents when he was really at fault, his initial thought to apologize melted down like ice..
And to their surprise he threw the ball at her face once more..
“Don’t say mean things about my super mummy okay?”
Rihanna’s eyes widened at his audacity, she blinked her eyes when she felt a little dust particles in her eyes….
“How dare you?!”
Rihanna matched forward in an attempt to hit him for talking back at her rudely but her hand was caught on air..
She met with Bianca’s burning gaze, Alexa who tried to warn Rihanna of what might befall her closed her eyes after a deafening slap landed on Rihanna’s face..
Rihanna looked up at Bianca in disbelief with her hands on her cheek.
“You’re very much lucky that his mum didn’t witness what you were trying to do a while ago to her son.. you can confirm from your friend here what she went through that day when she tried to make that same mistake!” Bianca retorted and took Kelvin’s hands in hers before walking away..
Rihanna’s left hand were glued to her left cheek, she stared at their retreating backs and suddenly took a step forward to go after them but was held back by Alexa..
“She raised her hands to me Alexa! I’ll make sure Damien teaches her a lesson”
She raised her phone up to her ear after dialing Damien’s phone “Damien I’m being bullied.. please help me!!”
Olivia cleared her throat at the other end “The boss isn’t around now.. he’s currently in a business meeting so if you don’t mind.. I’m hanging up”
Rihanna stared at the disconnected call and felt a surge of anger passed through her, that lady again?! and what was she doing with Damien’s phone?
Alexa took a glance at Rihanna’s annoyed expression and asked the obvious question..
“What happened?!”
“That lady answered his phone!!” She suddenly screamed out which earned her weird glances from the kids playing around in the park..
***
A cab pulled over in front of a building as Bianca and Kelvin stepped out of it, she settled the fare and turned around walking into the building where she spotted two men lingering around the building which seemed like they were waiting for someone..
She stood rooted to the ground as they approached her..
“Miss do you live here?”
Bianca stared at the huge men in front of her wondering what they want from her, however, she gave a nod to their initial question, she also noticed their gaze was fixed on Kelvin who was covered in mud like he just had a swim in a mud puddle.. except his grey orbs that kept peering back at them..
They both exchanged brief glances with each other..
“I assume you’re his mum right?”
Bianca pulled Kelvin to herself with a smile “Yes! he’s my son is anything wrong?”
One of them leaned forward to the other and whispered a few words to him..
“Okay we’ll get going now”
Bianca stared at their backs confusedly as they left and crossed over to the black car parked by the side of the road..
“What was that for?”
Kelvin looked up to Bianca “Why did you tell them that you’re my mummy.. mummy said it’s really bad to lie to others”
Bianca took his hand and walked hurriedly into the building, whoever those men were she was sure they’ll be back soon, they didn’t look ordinary to her..
“Forget it dear let’s go get you clean.. or else your mum will be really mad to see you in this state”
***
Alexa bardged into her parents room without knocking, her face frowned in disgust when she caught them about to share a kiss..
“Eww”
They pulled away from each other and Anita smiled nervously at her daughter like she has just been caught in a bad act..
Her father was the slightly annoyed one, only he knew how long he had to wait for this moment before she suddenly bardged in..
“Are you alright?” Anita worriedly asked peering at her daughter..
Alexa rolled her eyes, does she look alright to them? why ask her the obvious question when they knew what her answer would be?..
Honestly, she was fed up with all them and her big bro tops it all..
“Who was the new lady you hired to work with big bro?”
Anita snapped a brow and took a sit at the edge on the king sized bed covered with white and black sheets..
“Why do you ask?”
Alexa turned to her dad hoping he’d pitch in something, just anything would be fine! everyone deserved to know who that mannerless lady was..
“Really mum? that lady is very rude and doesn’t miss a chance to bully big bro.. and she even went as far as embarrassing Rihanna at the company today”
Anita scoffed after she listened to the end of her daughter’s speech..
“You’re also rude and you bully anyone too.. and by the way Olivia is quite innocent.. Damien is the one who bullies her every now and then, she even spoke to me a while back that your bestie Rihanna tried to fire her today!”
Aldrin took a seat next to his wife, he was suddenly lost in the conversation and couldn’t help but ask..
“Who are you both talking about?”
Anita turned to her husband and briefly explained everything to him which she witnessed at the company..
“That’s a big lie mum! that lady is a big problem! she even slapt me twice at the entrance of the mall and how can I forget that her six year old son broke my car few days ago?”
Anita tilted her head to the side and her hands folded beneath her bossom.
“You’re even willing to lie just so I can have a bad opinion about her? Olivia is the same age as you how could she possibly have a six year old son?”
Alexa’s lips parted to speak but she couldn’t bring the right words out her mouth, she heaved a deep breath..
“You don’t believe me?! fine! but what about Rihanna? she is Damien’s girlfriend and she isn’t comfortable with him having Olivia around”
Anita stood up to her feet and moved closer to her daughter..
“I don’t care what your bestie thinks and besides I never liked her in the first place, she looks just like her conniving mother!”
Alexa turned to her dad who was oddly quiet, he was the one who always supported and believed every single words she told him without a doubt..
“Dad! won’t you say anything?”
Aldrin was about to speak when he received a sharp glare from his wife..
“Say one word and you’ll be sleeping alone tonight” She threatened in a low tone..
Aldrin didn’t need to be told twice, he sealed his lips shut and immediately sent an apologetic look to his daughter..
Alexa rolled her eyes and stormed out of the room in nothing but rage..
“You’ve spoilt her so much that she doesn’t have any manners, we better fix her marriage before she gets out of hand”
The door pushed open once to reveal Alexa’s icy cold glares..
“Come again mum!”
