Chapter 24_ Take back your money!
Olivia hurried out of the building with Bianca right behind her back tailing after her..
She watched Olivia’s back that was moving fast away from her, she had no other choice than to jog to catch up with the worried mother..
“Olivia.. do you have any idea of where you’re going to find them?”
Olivia stopped on her tracks and turned to Bianca with a firm nod..
“Who else? he found out that Kelvin is his son and he thinks that he can just take away my child away from me?!”
Bianca closed her eyes briefly, this was the exact thing she was scared about, she had heard stories like this before and she must confess that the rich people’s mindset works differently..
They probably want to take possession of the child because he had the Sterlings blood flowing through his veins..
“Well we don’t know where the Sterlings live? and I’m sure that surrounding must be heavily guarded”
Olivia’s amber eyes blazed in unfathomable gleam as she said the next words to Bianca..
“I don’t care how dangerous it is, I’ll get my son back even if I have to cross the seven sea to get there!”
Bianca swallowed back with a forceful nod, she watched Olivia’s back leaving again..
“I’ll search it up on Google”

Damien walked into the living room in large strides, he was already on his way to the company this morning when his guards relayed an information to him concerning his grandfather’s recent doings..
The moment he stepped in a loud shriek from a little kid startled him for a second..
“Daddy!!!”
Before he could tell what was going on, he was suddenly engulfed in an embrace..
Alexa’s pupils dilated as she stared at the things she spent millions purchasing on the ground..
She marched straight to Kelvin who clinged onto Damien’s legs tightly, she pulled him out of her brother’s body ready to strike him but her hand froze on air..
“What are you trying to do?!”
Alexa squirmed as his grip around her wrist tightened like he was going to crush her bones to a million pieces..
“Let me go!”
Her face fell to the other side the next second, she raised her head up only to see her mum’s annoyed expression..
“Mum!”
Anita snapped her head to Aldrin meaningfully, the latter nodded in understanding and walked to them, he quickly pulled Alexa away with him before she makes things worst..
Damien looked down at Kelvin who took his hands in his with a smile..
As if struck by something, it suddenly dawned on him on why he was here in the first place and he also noticed that there were two kids in the room..
“Why did you take them away from their mother?!”
Bernard shot Damien a look and snorted “I have no idea who that little girl is, but I can’t stand to see our blood living in the slums of poverty, get that into your head alright?!”
“This is my decision to make and not yours! do you get that?! stop trying to force your rules down on me! I also have a life to live!”
Anita couldn’t agree less to his words, she was happy to know that she had a grandson but this was a wrong approach and she was sure that Olivia won’t stay still about this..
Now that she thought of it, how come Olivia had a six year old son for Damien when she was just the same age as Alexa?
“And I support my son’s choice, these kids should be sent back to school or Olivia”
Not too long later, they heard a little noise at the entrance and soon after Rihanna ran in, she was looking miserable, her once back length silky straight hair was now shoulder length and messy..
And to top it all, she was still in her PJs, tears flowed down her face freely which smudged the mascara over her face..
She freed herself from Asher’s grip as she made her way to Damien..
“Damien, do you know what my brother told me a while ago? he said you were breaking up with me…”
She sniffed back with a smile, her hands caressed his cheeks slowly..
“I knew he was telling lies because I know how much you love me.. our families are planning towards our grand wedding…
“We can’t get married Rihanna”
Rihanna’s smile froze on her face, she slowly retracted her hand from his face and took a step backward..
“You’re joking right?”
Her eyes suddenly fell on the little boy clinging on to Damien’s hand like his life depended on it, it was him! the little boy who threw a ball at her few days ago at the park..
He was the same freaking child! as if possessed by a demon she suddenly rushed forward to the kid, she made an attempt to wrap her hands around his small neck..
Just before she could lay her hand on him another hand caught hers, she snapped her head to meet a pair of amber eyes with sparks of fire burning in them..
A word hadn’t dropped down from her lips when a slap landed on her face, she thought she had received it all until her hair was pulled harshly..
“Olivia!”
Bianca who suddenly ran in called out, and right behind her were a few men who were after them as a result of trespassing..
Damien and Asher were alarmed, they quickly intervened trying to free Olivia’s grip from Rihanna’s hair..
“Ouch!.. stop.. pulling!” Rihanna choked out through gritted teeth..
The rest were shocked at the scene before then, however Anita wasn’t shocked, she was happy that Rihanna was getting what she deserved, that was how much she disliked her..
“Add more pressure Olivia! make her go bald!”
Aldrin shot her a look and immediately her finger went to her lips..
“Enough of this madness!”
The room suddenly turned quiet as the patriarch of the family spoke, Asher successfully freed him sister from the lady’s grip..
Olivia turned around to Damien and snatched Kelvin from his hold..
“You have no rights whatsoever to take my son without my permission! Mr Sterling!”
Damien’s brows furrowed, he understood that she was the one who gave birth to him and raised him all alone but she can’t deny the rights he has over Kelvin..
“He’s also my son..
“No he’s not!” She retorted in a fierce tone glaring hard at him..
“I was the one who brought him here, do you have a problem with that?!”
Olivia turned around to see who just spoke, her eyes fell on the old man whose head was held up high like he had just done a great job..
“I don’t want any blood of the Sterling’s to be found on the dirty grounds of poverty! you can’t afford to bear this family’s prestigious name and so I think what I did was infact the best thing to do”
Anita was just about to oppose the old man’s idea, when she saw Olivia walking towards him in slow footsteps..
“Say that again! you’re a big time joker if you think that I’m dying to get married into your family! my son has nothing to do with you or anyone else!”
Bernard bellowed at the young lady who was just the same age as his grand daughter Alexa..
How dare she raise her voice at him in a rude manner?
He clapped his hands and immediately two guards came in with two briefcases, he gave them a nod and they walked to Olivia, after which they left the brief case by her feet..
“Those briefcase contains the sum of five hundred million dollars, take it in exchange for the boy and get out of our lives!”
Bianca’s lips parted in shock, she wasn’t going to stand back and watch them humiliate Olivia this way, she rolled up her sleeves and stood beside Olivia..
“What do you mean by that? do you think we are lacking? we’ve been managing our lives ever since Kelvin was born and we don’t need any favors from you!”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Olivia and Bianca exchanged glances and gave a nod, they both kicked each of the briefcase which slid smoothly on the polished marbled floor to Bernard’s feet.
“Take back your pathetic money, I only want my son!”
Damien who has had enough of everything going on in front of him walked to Olivia and took her hands in his and at the same time Kelvin smiled and took his hands also..
He turned to his grandfather with a stern expression on his face..
“I’ve made my decision!”
After saying that he led the two away, he could hear the distance voices behind him, he heard his grandfather yells and Rihanna’s cries of pleas..
***
As soon as they were out of the building Olivia withdrew her hand from Damien’s grip and also pulled Kelvin to herself..
“We can take it from here”
Damien raised a brow, was that all she could say to him right now?
“Daddy can you drop us off at home?”
Olivia placed a palm over his mouth, she snapped her head to Damien..
“Of course I don’t mind”
“Don’t bother, we don’t need your help! at all”
Damien sneered “Stop giving me that attitude, I know my grandfather took a drastic step in this matter but I promise to take responsibility for you just like I promised that night..
Olivia raised her hand a little, she didn’t want to hear this long talk, all she wanted was to leave immediately, soon after Bianca and Kiara emerged from the building..
“Oh, is this an excuse to pursue me?”
Damien’s lips curled up and a chuckle escaped his lips..
“Pursue you? don’t think too highly of yourself, you’re way too annoying”
Olivia’s chest heaved up and down in anger, she raised a leg and stepped on his foot..
“Jerk!”
“Ouch!”
Olivia smiled in satisfaction at his pain filled face, she took Ray by his hands and turned around to leave and at the same time, she swiped her hair over his face..
But this time he was faster, he caught her hair gently with his hand refusing to let go…
“Not so fast wild cat!”
Bianca’s brows were raised, as she stared at the two wondering what they were about to pull off next..
Her brows collided when he gestured with his fingers for her to come closer..
