Chapter 34_ Suicide
Damien’s brows creased slightly, he was about to question the guard but was interrupted by his buzzing phone..
He pulled it out of his pocket and raised it to his ear..
“What?!”

Olivia embraced Kelvin who just ran into her arms with a loud shriek “I missed you too baby”
Kelvin looked towards the door as if expecting someone else to burst in, he turned his gaze to his mum who crotched down to his height..
“Daddy didn’t come?”
Olivia rolled her eyes and stood up to her feet feigning anger..
“Yeah, because he doesn’t care”
“Stop being jealous of Mr Sterling, I saw everything that happened outside” Bianca who just came in murmured sending a soft glare to Olivia..
Olivia snorted and threw her purse to the couch, she noticed her mum was not in sight..
“Where is mum?”
Bianca glanced at her phone “She left.. anyway I made dinner.. help yourself and please don’t eat my share.. I’ll be back before 11 pm don’t wait up for me”
Olivia rolled her eyes and waved at Bianca who stepped out of the apartment..
“You fought with daddy?”
She raised a brow at the sudden question Kelvin just asked..
“You know I never start a fight, and I never gave you the permission to address him as your daddy”
Kelvin’s brows furrowed “Aunt was right, you’re jealous of daddy”
Olivia’s face fell at his back that was moving away from her..
“Come on baby, you can’t be mad at me”

Tracy sighed in relief when Damien walked in, in large strides towards them..
She ran up to him sobbing gently, she pointed a finger to the closed door of the ward..
“Damien, Rihanna has completely lost her mind! she tried to end her life a while ago..”
Damien took a glance at the door that opened and immediately a man stepped out of it, he was cladded in a white neat coat and a nose mask covered his nose..
“Mrs Brown”
Tracy diverted her attention to the doctor who called out to her.
“Doctor.. how is she?”
The doctor pulled off his nose mask and turned to her..
“She’s out of danger now.. but she lost a lot of blood, she’s still in a state of shock.. however, she kept on protesting that she wants to see Damien”
Tracy sobbed even more, Damien was left with no other choice than to walk past them and he entered the ward..
His nose was struck with the hard scent of disinfectant and then his eyes rested on the lady who laid on the bed..
Her eyes slowly opened on noticing another presence in the room..
“Damien..
She softly called out trying to get up from the bed but was quickly held back by Damien, his gaze fell on her wrist that was wrapped with a white bandage..
“Stay back”
Rihanna’s eyes teared up “I’m really sorry Damien.. I had no other choice than to do this.. I couldn’t bear to see you with another woman other than me” she choked out amidst tears..
“Have you gone nuts? you were trying to take your own life by slitting your wrist? do you have any idea of what you’ve done?!”
Damien sighed when he realized that his tone was rather harsh but truth must be told! she was a complete psycho for trying to do this..
Rihanna’s sobs filled the room “Of course I’ve gone nuts! I’m totally mad over you! and you know that! but you chose to disregard my feelings because of that woman and her son!”
The door opened and Asher stepped into the ward closely followed by Alexa who had a worried expression on her face..
“Jeez! Rihanna what have you done?!” Alexa barked out in irritation..
“This is all your fault Damien! my sister tried to commit suicide because of you!” Asher stated glaring hard at Damien whose gaze rested on his the moment he spoke
“Keep a watchful gaze on her” Damien boredly murmured and left the room..
“Damien!.. Damien..!” Rihanna’s pained filled voice called after only to be ignored..

Bianca raised her head to the dashing bartender she met here a few days ago..
“I thought you won’t come here anymore after what happened the last time you came”
She chuckled brushing him off “Oh that? pfff! this is the bar nearest to my apartment.. just Incase I get drunk or something I’ll find my way home with ease”
The bartender stretched his hand forward to her “by the way.. I’m Louis”
Meanwhile at a farther end of the bar…
Xander’s gaze trailed off to a familiar face sitting in front of the counter..
“Oh, she’s even willing to be friends with a bartender whereas she doesn’t spare me a glance”
Charles chuckled staring at something on his phone, he didn’t bother to take a look at the person his cousin was referring to..
“What are you laughing at?”
“Maybe she’s playing hard to get or perhaps she just doesn’t like you at all”
Xander found that hard to believe, he grabbed his glass and drank its content in one go, he didn’t want to accept the fact that there was a lady who didn’t bow to his charm..
“You think you can get her?”
Charles raised his head from his phone to his cousin who just asked him a question..
“I’m not really into all these shitty girls in your neighborhood.. I’m very sure most of them have been banged mercilessly by you!”
Xander snorted, well part of Charles words were true in a way..
“You’re probably scared of rejection..”
“Where is she?” Charles asked with am arched brow..
Xander pointed to the lady who was deeply engrossed in a conversation with the bartender..
“Watch and learn baby cousin” Charles uttered ruffling Xander’s hair, he stood up to his feet and made his way to the counter..
The bartender saw Charles approaching and inwardly sneered..
Charles took a seat beside Bianca who didn’t spare him a glance as she was busy laughing at whatever joke Louis just dropped..
Xander turned to the lady next to him and was surprised to see her, he recognized her as the lady he met at the mall..
“I never knew mum’s hang out at the bar”
Bianca pulled her gaze away from Louis to the person sitting beside her..
Her brows drew together on seeing the familiar face smiling at her, he was the man from the mall today..
“You?”
“Mr Gray what would you like to have?”
Charles waved his hand in protest, he has had more than enough to drink for tonight..
Xander’s brows furrowed at the other end, that went well than he had expected, she was willing to talk to literally any other guy other than him.
Bianca raised a brow when she spotted Xander at the other end, she rested her gaze back at Charles who was peering at her intently..
“How may I help you Mr Gray?”
Charles chuckled “I was only wondering what could make a mother of two hang out at a bar.. had a problem with their father?”
Bianca’s brows creased in confusion, what mother of two? it suddenly dawned on her, he was referring to Kelvin and Kiara..
“Umm.. I think you’ve gotten it..
“Ah.. no worries.. I understand.. honestly I’ve seen ladies of your age who have actually given birth to three or more kids” Charles uttered cutting off Bianca’s speech..NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Louis stared skeptically at Bianca, he found it hard to believe that she was a mum of two kids..
Her phone buzzed on the cold marbled slab which diverted their attention, she picked it up and raised it up to her ear..
“Can we talk later please? I’m currently in the middle of something important..” Without waiting for the other person on the line to finish, she hanged up with a snort..
Bianca hopped down from the stool “Goodnight Louis.. I’ll be on my way”
“Can I drop you off?”
Xander stood up from his seat walking towards them, for some reasons he didn’t like where this conversation was heading to..
