Chapter 26_ Scenes
Sandy opened the door when she heard the door bell ring, her face smile fell a little. She had initially thought that it was her daughter..
But seeing the elegant woman on dark sunglasses standing on her porch drew a questioning look on her face..
She was dressed in a tailored Chanel suit that accentuated her slender figure.
Her long, raven-black hair was styled in a sleek, low bun, revealing a pair of chandelier earrings that sparkled like diamonds in the light.
“And you are?”
Tracy blew air over her face with her hands chasing the invisible flies around her face, she stared at her surroundings with nothing but disgust in her eyes..
Sandy arched a brow, with just a glance at the proud lady before her, she could tell that she was a wealthy person.
“Dummy, everyone in L. A knows who I am, by the way I’m Tracy Brown”
Sandy’s expression remained blank “So?”
Tracy pulled off her sunglasses revealing her deep brown eyes.
“To be honest, I don’t like you much either, I’m here to see a lady named Olivia Parker, go in there and call her out!”
Sandy’s brows drew together, she wondered what Olivia had done to warrant a visit from this annoying woman..
“Olivia isn’t here at the moment”
“Don’t lie to me you old hag! I know well that she is in there or perhaps she’s scared of what the consequences might be, well she should have thought about before trying to steal my daughter’s fiance!”
Sandy flashed Tracy a polite smile “Oh my! she did? I will go get her for you, just wait right here”
That was all sandy needed to say for the foolish rich lady to believe, she casually walked back into the apartment and sat on one of the couches to resume her soap operas..

Olivia shook her head slowly as she signed some paperwork given to her to fill..
She couldn’t believe how arrogant Bianca could be at the moment, saying ‘thank you’ to someone wasn’t gonna hurt a bit..
“Here, I’m done”
She announced to the officer who collected the papers back from her to examine it..
“Alright miss you’ve been cleared of all charges”
Bianca snorted and walked out of the station closely followed by Olivia..
Once they were out of the police station, Olivia started her queries, Xander had been of great help in there but she was so arrogant to thank him for his help..
“Come on Bianca, you don’t have to be an a*s everytime, he bailed you out the least you could do is to thank him”
Bianca chuckled at Olivia’s words, thanking him will only give him the right to be friends with her, and she wasn’t ready to be acquainted to such a person as himself..
“Just forget it, I’m sure $50, 000 is nothing to him” Bianca nonchalantly murmured..
“and why would you say that?”
The two ladies diverted their gaze to the young man who just spoke, he had a slanted grin on his lips, his blue eyes glowed in mischief gawking down at the proud lady who refused to acknowledge him..
“Look Mr Gray, no one asked for your help so don’t expect me to say thank you”
“you just did”
Olivia held back Bianca who was about to step forward to Xander..
“Hey.. umm Mr Xander, thanks for your help today, please ignore Bianca she’s just a little bit cranky today”
Xander gave a nod and walked to his red sports car parked at a little distance away from him, he turned back once more to them and settled his gaze on Bianca who was sulking..
“Crazy” he murmured and got into his car.
Meanwhile….
Tracy glanced at the closed door once more and rang the doorbell, she rang it a few more times but no one was coming forth..
“Hey you rascal! you tricked me! come out and show me what you’ve got, if you dare!”
She yelled at the top of her lungs, no one has ever treated her like this, well except Anita Sterling, But this woman was a nobody and she dared to leave her hanging and waiting!.
Olivia laughed hard at the joke Bianca just dropped, she settled the fare and turned to the building, the smile on both she and Bianca’s face fell..
“Oh no” she exclaimed beneath her breath..
In the next second, Tracy screamed out in shock and disbelief as she felt the clear and cold liquid dripping down on her body..
She snapped her head to the window, where she spotted Sandy with an empty jug..Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Leave my porch! you mannerless woman!” Sandy yelled down at her..
Tracy pulled one of her heels and threw it up towards the window but it bounced on the wall and dropped down on her head..
“Arrghhh!! I’m gonna kill you once I lay my hands on you!” She yelled furiously and turned away to leave in anger..
Bianca and Olivia who were originally laughing at the once in a lifetime scene before them suddenly stopped laughing when Tracy stopped before them..
“So it was you! you are the one responsible for my daughter’s heartbreak! her marriage couldn’t take place because of you!.
Bianca creased her brows, it seems the lady mistook her for Olivia but either ways she wasn’t ready to clear that misunderstanding yet..
“Okay so?”
Tracy’s eyes widened “so? you know what? I can’t deal with lowly peasants like you all! you all will hear from me very soon!” she screamed out like a maniac walking away very quickly to the other side where her car was parked at..
***
Olivia and Bianca exchanged brief glances before facing Sandy who was peering intently at them, obviously waiting for an explanation..
“Well mum you see..
Sandy raised her hand slightly which cut Olivia’s speech off, she was quite aware that any words that comes out of her daughter’s mouth now will be nothing but a big fat lie..
“Bianca go ahead and tell me everything”
Bianca cleared her throat, she wasn’t one who beat around the bush with her words..
“We know who Kelvin’s biological dad is and he is no other than Damien Sterling”
Sandy’s lips parted in shock, she wanted to speak, scream or perhaps cry out loud, but none of those things were coming forth, she felt weak to her bones unable to comprehend her next words….
Olivia slapped her forehead in disappointment, she hadn’t expected Bianca to blurt out the truth in such manner, she had preppd Bianca earlier about what to say whenever her mum asked..
“What?!” Sandy finally found her voice, she rose up to her feet still in shock..
“Come on mum, it’s not a big deal.. I mean you’re just overreacting”
Sandy placed both hands on her hips glaring down at her daughter..
“Overreacting? you found your child’s father, who surprisingly turned out to be a very wealthy man and you’re just relaxed?!”
“What should I have done? I don’t want to share my son with anyone else alright? yes he’s wealthy so he has every right to have a mistress who can bare his children for him, it mustn’t necessary be my own kid!”
Bianca rolled her eyes, as always Olivia was ready to argue with anyone..
“Okay whatever you wish! so what was Mrs Brown doing here a few minutes ago?”
Olivia shrugged nonchalantly, feigning ignorance until Bianca spilled out every little detail..
“The marriage alliance between The Sterling’s and the Brown’s was called off because of Olivia”
Sandy shot her daughter a look, if the wedding between the two families was called off, then it meant that they were willing to accept her and Kelvin into their family..
“Well what are you waiting for? isn’t he your child’s father?”
“Well did I mention that he was my boss whom I despise so much? he irks me! and I won’t let him come near Kelvin and I”
***
Aldrin pulled his wife gently by her collar when he caught her placing her ear against his father’s study.
“Hey! what are you doing here? you know how wrong it is to eavesdrop right?”
Anita shrugged him off “Shh be quiet! that joker is in there with father and I want to know what his response will be..”
Aldrin rolled his eyes at her childish behavior, she suddenly chuckled when she heard the last part of the words Tracy just said in there..
“What happened?” He asked curiously obviously interested to know what she heard that made her laugh out loud.
“She said a lady threw water on her, she’s so pathetic!”
Anita was caught up laughing about Tracy’s ordeal that she failed to see the door open..
“Oh it’s you! how cheap of you to eavesdrop on our conversation!”
Anita was just about to retort but was held back by Aldrin, he didn’t want to witness this at least not right now..
“Ah! I’m so glad my son isn’t getting married to your sorry daughter! now let me see you brag now!”
“You’re crazy!” Tracy barked and left their presence, Anita grinned from ear to ear until she heard her name being called in the study..
“Anita! join me in here this minute!”
