Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Damien buried his face into the file he was definitely not reading, he sighed knowing fully well that Olivia might have the wrong impression of him..

How was this his fault? that his body only reacted to her touch? Rihanna never made him feel this particular way all throughout the years he had spent with her..

He touched his chin that hurt a little, he lost count of how many times she had smacked that pillow against his face..

His phone rang out breaking the awkward silence in the room..

“Yeah?… where exactly?”

Olivia diverted her gaze to him, from his tone and facial expression one could tell that something was wrong..

He took a peek at Olivia who was peering at him intently..

“I’ll be back, Rihanna got into a fight at a bar and was detained and right now she’s currently at the hospital”

Olivia rolled her eyes hard, she wasn’t surprised at all about it, but what if this was a new tactic to get closer to Damien? she went through all that just in one night?..

“Fine! I’ll come along!”

Damien was surprised at her response, he wasn’t really expecting it, most especially since this involved Rihanna.

“It’s fine.. I’ll manage, just stay back and-

She walked past him and made her way out of the door leaving him behind..

Tracy placed the mug of coffee in front of her husband who was going through the business newspaper..

After they came back from the Sterling’s home the previous day, he has been ignoring her, whenever she tried to strike up a conversation with him, he walks out on her..

“I got you your coffee.. it’s extra creamy just the way you like it”

She got no response from him again, she failed to understand why he was behaving so off with her…..

“Alright! will you tell me what I did wrong? I’ve been trying like forever to get you to say a word to me”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Bruce closed the newspaper and placed it next to him on the couch..

“What you did wrong?! don’t you know? what you pulled off in front of Anita and Aldrin, what was that about?”

Tracy’s brows furrowed, she didn’t understand what he was trying to say, what exactly had she done?

“Come clear Bruce..”

“You told Aldrin the truth.. Anita was about to tell him herself! do you realize what that might have caused for them? he’ll be furious and heavens know what he’ll do to her!”

“So? how is this any of our business? don’t judge me! she started it first.. and for once it would be nice to see her sobbing her eyes out.. I’m sure she must be on her knees begging Aldrin to forgive her” She concluded with a smile, the image of Anita on her knees begging and sobbing soothed her a bit.

For once, that proud woman would actually be broken..

Meanwhile…

Anita came out of the bathroom with a yawn, her gaze fell on Aldrin who was still sound asleep on the bed..

She walked to the thick black curtains and pryed it open with one swipe, she giggled at his expression when the sun rays fell on his face..

“Get off the bed you lazy man… it’s pretty late”

Aldrin turned his back against her, he grabbed a pillow and pressed it against his ear..

“Tomorrow is father’s birthday and we have a lot of work to do today.. come on get up”

Aldrin groaned out in displeasure, all he wanted was to sleep peacefully, besides that, it was so early in the morning..

“Go without me.. I’ll be there soon”

Anita walked to the bed and pulled the pillow off his face, she smacked it against his butt facing her direction..

“Get off! we still have to go for our dress fitting, I don’t want Tracy to be the first to lay her eyes on things I might get.. it will ruin the occasion for me”

Aldrin clenched his eyes, this was still about their little fight over him, he suddenly pulled her hand and she fell right next to him..

“There are lots of servants to do all the work.. spend sometime with your husband, he really needs you.. I think Alexa needs a playmate too”

Anita blushed hard at his words, he was being unnecessarily cheeky..

Damien and Olivia arrived at the hospital and as expected two officers were waiting patiently for the hardened criminal they brought here..

Olivia chuckled at the thought..

“Mr Sterling!” The two officers stood up to their feet to acknowledge him..

She cleared her throat suddenly feeling ignored and left out..

“And… this random citizen” One of the policemen chirmed in uncertainty peering at her…

The door opened and a man cladded in a white coat stepped out with a stethoscope hanging around his neck..

“It’s good to see you here Mr Sterling” the doctor remarked with a smile..

Damien took a glance at Rihanna’s supposed ward, he wondered what happened to her and why exactly she ended up fighting..

“Is she alright?”

Olivia cleared her throat and extended her hand towards the doctor who accepted it..

“I’m the patients distant relative and I’d like to see how she’s doing now”

The doctor nodded and stepped aside for her to pass through, he excused himself and went towards the opposite direction.

“I’ll go make sure she’s alright.. deal with the cops” she whispered and went into the ward before he could even speak up…

Rihanna who had already been aware about Damien’s arrival started sobbing the moment she heard the door open behind her..

She bowed her head sobbing into her laps..

Olivia stared around the room, she noticed one of Rihanna’s hand was cuffed to the bed’s handle..

“I’m really sorry for troubling you this way Damien.. I didn’t mean to get drunk, he tried to touch me and I couldn’t tolerate it.. so I had to use the bottle on him” She choked out amidst tears..

Series of applause and whistles filled the air as Olivia made her way to the sobbing lady who was now staring at her in shock..

“What a nice performance! Damien would have been touched and moved by this scene.. but sadly that’s not the case this time”

Rihanna made an attempt to step out of the bed only to be held back by the cuff around her wrist, she fell back on the bed with a small thud..

“What are you doing here?!”

Olivia shrugged “To laugh at you? who else were you expecting? Damien? haven’t I told you to let go of everything that concerns him?”

Damien who was about to step into the room arched a brow, he pressed his ear against the door to eavesdrop on whatever they were conversing about that involved him..

“Just shut up! okay?!” Rihanna barked, it was really no use fainting a while ago at the station, she had thought that Damien would show up and have sympathy on her..

But who knew that this lice will show up instead of Damien?!

“Why? I was just about to tell you what happens behind our closed doors.. don’t you want to hear it? anyway.. I just came to check how you’re doing, I’ll go inform the cops that you’re ready to go back to jail” She teased with a mocking smile..

“Wait, did I just sound like a villainess?” she asked herself as she made her way to the door..

She pulled it open only for Damien to stumble forward into the ward, she stared at him skeptically, was he really eavesdropping on their conversation??..

Damien tugged his tie trying to wade off the embarrassment of being caught red handed eavesdropping..

“I was about to fix my shoelaces they came loose..” he murmured and walked further into the room..

Rihanna’s eyes lit up when he suddenly appeared, she started her fake tears once more..

“Damien i-

“The cops are outside ready to take you back.. I spoke to them, they’ve promised to keep you in their custody till tomorrow morning..”

Rihanna’s eyes widened, that was so cruel, she knew Damien could have asked them to release her right away and they’d have done so without arguing with him..

“What? I’ll be locked up behind bars till tomorrow morning? that place is filled with irky beings.. and the mosquitoes!”

“Well if you’re against this idea.. you can run out now.. oh you can’t… too bad you’re still cuffed to the bed” she said with a shrug and pulled Damien along with her..

Rihanna’s screams filled the ward the second they were gone..
