Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Rihanna walked slowly to the two with her hands crossed on her chest, she thought Olivia was really going to have second thoughts about Damien’s intention after she tried to instigate Olivia against him..

“What do you mean by that?” Olivia questioned suddenly interested in whatever this conversation was about..

Rihanna’s position as a cleaner here had something to do with her?

“Shut up! and get back to work!” Damien lashed out irritably, he held Olivia by her wrist and led her out of the restroom..

They hadn’t gotten far when she pulled away from his hold, he turned around to her with a raised brow..

“What was she talking about? are you hiding something away from me?”

“Yes!” he stated firmly and began walking away..

Olivia’s jaw dropped, such an attitude!

“Jerk!”

Alexa kicked her door open with her foot, her hands were holding two brown paper bags filled up with groceries..

She walked hurriedly to the kitchen counter and placed the bags gently on it as heavy pants escaped her lips..

Her nose scrunched in disgust when she perceived a stench coming from her..

“Eww!”

Her encounter at the market today was hilarious, like when a fish leaped out of the tank and smacked her right in the face..

Or when a crab got stuck on her scarf, it was so humiliating, she pulled off her scarf tossing it aside..

It was great that no one recognized her at the local market today because she had a scarf on the whole time..

But very soon they will when she eventually has to search around for a job..

Half an hour later after making sure she doesn’t smell of fish and sweat in the shower, she got dressed into a casual outfit which still looked luxurious for a lady living in this neighborhood..

Now she stood before the marbled slab, it was one thing to go to the market to get groceries, and it was an entirely different thing to turn them into food…

Thankfully the internet was able to save her ass this time..

She grabbed a pan staring at it weirdly, this was definitely the first time she was holding this, she copied what the lady on her phone was demonstrating by placing it over the gas stove..

She grabbed the oil sitting on the counter and poured half the content into the pan..

‘Wait for it to heat up’ The lady in the video relayed..

Alexa relaxed back waiting for the oil to heat up, she waited for a while tapping her foot impatiently on the ground..

Five minutes passed by and nothing happened! Ten.. twenty.. twenty five.. Alright that’s it!

She took a closer look at the video wondering what she didn’t do right as demonstrated, her eyes narrowed at the screen..

“Sh*t! i didn’t light up the stove!”

She placed the pan aside searching inside each drawer for a match or lighter.. just anything that could make a fire..Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Finally!”

She turned on the stove and took out a stick out of its box, she tried the first stick for it to snap into two..

“Seriously?! why is the universe against me today?” she grumbled trying the second stick..

It snapped again, she stomped her foot in anger, why was this happening right now?

A golden hue from the lit up match stick brightened her face just like the smile of victory she had on..

Soon it turned to a horrified expression after….

Boom!…

Hardin narrowed his eyes down at the lady covered in black smoke, her once luscious hair was now a fury mess as it stood on ends..

“What were you thinking blowing up your apartment?!” Grandma Jade lashed out..

Fire fighters could be seen running around the surroundings..

“It’s not my fault.. your gas stove is just faulty! don’t try to pin this on me” Alexa defended breathing heavily, that was so horrifying, for a minute she thought she was going to die..

“Then whose is it? mine? one more second in there and you’d have been a burnt toast!” Hardin scorned..

Alexa folded her arm beneath her bossom arrogantly, if only she knew how terrible she looked like right now..

“Ma’am.. I’m afraid you can’t stay in that room for at least three weeks.. and maybe you should light the match before turning the gas stove on..” One of the fire fighters suggested..

“Three weeks? where exactly am I supposed to stay? my rent has already been paid so you and your grandma should give me another room to stay!”

Kelvin and Kiara’s shrieks rocked the air as they ran into the living room with Bianca tailing behind them with their backpacks..

Jonah picked them both from school today and she had to go fetch them after they threw a tantrum, they wanted to go to the park but Kelvin’s arm was still injured for any of their childish plays..

Another day for her to listen to the two little trouble..

“Alright you both freeze up! that’s enough screaming” She cautioned placing their backpacks on the couch..

“You are no fun aunt” Kelvin pointed out with a scrunched face..

She stared down at the two who stood akimbo before her..

“How about this? your grandma is up in her room why don’t you both go to her? she’s quite fun right?”

Kiara took a step forward tapping her chin as if in deep thought “Are you trying to ditch us to go on a date with your boyfriend?”

A soft gasp escaped Bianca’s lips, she placed a hand over Kiara’s mouth, and here she thought Kelvin was the real talkative..

“Who taught you that word?..”

“It’s not a new word.. we hear it everyday” Kelvin imputed..

“What’s going on?” Sandy who just entered the room asked, she tilted her head to the side taking in Bianca’s somewhat strange appearance..

Something was definitely different about her, was it her straight shoulder length hair that she normally let loose to fall on her shoulder, it was now wavy curls..

“Aunt is about to ditch us so that she can go on a date”

Bianca snapped her head to Kiara who giggled softly, she sprinted out of the room along with Kelvin just before she could get her hands on them..

“Oh.. you’re going on a date?”

“No.. why would you think like that? I’m heading up to go get some alone time”

She hadn’t taken a step forward when the doorbell rang, she turned around to the door with a arched brow..

“I’ll get it”

Swiping her hair to the side, she made her way to the door and pulled it open..

Xander’s face popped up afterwards, he had an ear to ear grin on his face..

She stepped out closing the door behind her..

“You?! what on earth are you doing here?”

Xander reached his hand to her hair pushing a fair amount behind her ear..

“We had plans today didn’t we?”

“We? i never had a plan with you.. I told you earlier today that I won’t go out with you and nothing can change that!”

The door opened behind her to reveal Kelvin and Kiara, oh no they both had that devilish grin they normally have on whenever they were about to do something evil..

And she was right because Kiara came out with a black purse which belonged to Bianca..

“I knew you were going out with your boyfriend.. here you go, have fun!” She threw the purse at Bianca which the latter caught before it drops to the ground..

Soon the slamming of the door and several small clicks could be heard..

Did they just lock her outside?

She turned around to the door banging on it with her fist..

“Kiara! Kelvin! open up right this minute!”

Ten seconds passed by and all she could hear were giggles coming from inside which obviously belonged to those two..

“Now you can’t say no to a movie date..”

Bianca turned around walking back to him “This is all your fault! and what’s up with what you did yesterday? maybe it’s time we talk about that!”

Xander closed the gap between them peering down at her..

“You mean this?”

He held her nape gently and leaned down planting a quick kiss on her lips..

He pulled back with a teasing grin which was replaced with a painful expression after she smacked her purse against his head..
