Damien was dumbfounded as he stared down at the little boy who was smiling from ear to ear, he also recognized him as the kid he saw yesterday..
He raised his head to Olivia and it only took him a minute to summarize what was going on in front of him..
Damien pointed a finger to Kelvin in uncertainty "Whose child is he? Is he your son?"
"Yes she is, this is my mummy" Kelvin imputed with a smile..
Olivia folded her arm beneath her bossom "That is none of your business Mr Sterling! this is my private life, and I really hate it when people try to poke their noses in my affair"
Bianca walked towards the door when she heard some noises, she pulled the door open and was shocked to see the city's own Damien Sterling just right on her porch..
Damien turned his gaze to Bianca who just showed up..
"You?"
Bianca suddenly reached out for Kelvin who was standing in front of Damien, he instantly knew something was wrong..
"Who is this child's father?!" His voice echoed multiple times into her ears..
"I don't have a daddy.. talk to my mummy with respect!"
Bianca quickly pulled Kelvin in with her before he spills out more words than necessary..
One of Damien's men approached him with a small bow..
"Boss, your grandfather has requested your presence"
However, Olivia's eyes never left the guards face for once, an image suddenly flashed past her amber orbs that she took a step backward..
It was him! he was one of the men, she recognized him by the scar that ran across his face..
The guard met Olivia's eyes, he noticed how she was fidgeting by staring at him and in the next second she dashed back into her apartment and slammed the door shut..
"Boss!.. I think she is the lady from that night"
Damien shot him a cold glare "You think?!.. find out everything I need to know about that child!"

Bianca pulled Olivia who was sobbing into her arms, it's been quite a while Olivia broke down this way..
"I'm sorry Olivia, I tried to tell you but I couldn't.."
Kelvin walked into his mum's room, he walked slowly to his mum with a pout, all he wanted was a daddy but he ended up making his mummy cry so much..
"Mummy, please don't cry anymore.. you're making me sad, I know you're upset with me"
Olivia reached out to him and pulled him gently into her arms, she planted a kiss on his hair..
"Shhh.. mummy isn't upset with you, she loves you a lot and no one will take you away from me.."
***
Anita stood up from her seat as soon as she saw her son coming in, she couldn't wait for him to tell her the good news of Olivia returning back to the office..
But judging from the expression on his face, all didn't go well as she had initially thought..
"Damien.." She called out to him softly but got no response..
Bernard cleared his throat to get the attention of the young man who just walked in, one thing he loved the most was attention and Damien wasn't giving him that..
Damien snapped out of his daze and sat down on the sofa next to his mum, she reached her hand to his cheeks caressing it softly..
"Are you alright baby?"
He managed to force a smile at her which she took as a cue that all was well but still her motherly instinct was roaming about..
"You sent for me grand father"
Bernard sneered and stood up to his feet, the moment he did, everyone fell quiet except a footstep approaching was heard..
Alexa rolled her eyes, not only her but everyone knew who was approaching..
"Hmm.. I guess I'm on time today"
A charming young man stepped into the large living room, he flashed a smile which exposed his white set of perfect teeth..
He exuded a cool aura, the type that makes girls jaw drop..
"Asher quit fooling around and take a seat!" Bernard lashed out..
Damien snorted in disdain as his eyes met Asher's brown eyes, his lips had a teasing grin which only annoyed Damien the more..
"Mr Sterling, I'm sorry my sister couldn't make it because of what happened recently, so I'm here to fill in for her"
Anita snorted which earned her a look from Asher..
"She's so dramatic, what exactly happened to her? jeez, I feel so sorry for my poor son who is about to make a big mistake with her"
Aldrin nudged his wife only to receive a glare in return, they had talked about this earlier before they got here but still she just had to be blunt with her words as always..
"Aldrin didn't you tell your wife that this marriage doesn't need her opinion?"
Anita raised a brow, she found the old man's words a little bit funny, the marriage doesn't need her opinion? wasn't Damien her son?
"He's my son, of course I also have a right to decide if the lady is good enough for my son or not!"
There was a brief silence in the room, they knew this was the calm before the storm..
"What did you say?!"
Anita was just about to retort when Damien held her back down..
"Let it go mum" he whispered gently into her ears, which she surprisingly adhered to, he was aware of the fact that she didn't like Rihanna at all.
"Are you well aware that your son here is seeing another woman when clearly he has a fiancee? or do you want to pretend that you're not aware?"
Anita stood up to her feet glaring down at Asher who just spoke.
"And who are you to judge him? you're not better either, and for your understanding, that lady was his secretary and I'd much rather prefer her a million times over your annoying little sister!"
She panted heavily as if she just ran a marathon but the truth was that, the Browns makes her go nuts every single time!.
"Mum that is my bestie you're talking about here" Alexa interjected with a frown only to receive a sharp glare in return..
"Yeah I know that, she has managed to rub herself all over you but guess what? she won't stand a chance with me!"
After saying all that, she turned around and left the living room and everyone hanging..
Aldrin sighed massaging his temples, his wife was a little bit too much even though she was right..
"I'll talk to her" Damien murmured and went after his mum...

Cassie dropped her purse on the bed and rushed to Olivia who was sitting on the ground with her head on her laps while Bianca stroked her hair gently..
Bianca stood up as soon as she saw her mum approaching.."mum"
Cassie gave her a small nod and crotched down next to Olivia..
"What happened here honey? I could barely hear a word you said over the phone"
Bianca sat on her heels and met her mum's worried eyes..
"We found out who Kelvin's father is"
Cassie's face relaxed a bit, wasn't that a good thing? at least Kelvin would finally get to have a dad right?
"That's not a bad news right?"
Bianca sighed "Except that he is Damien Sterling"
Cassie's forehead wrinkled in confusion before it suddenly hit her, now that she thought about it, it became clear to her on why she found him a bit familiar when he was born..
Cassie's eyes fell on Olivia who was sobbing gently, she could feel the poor girl's pain, she had endured so much mockery while being pregnant and fought really hard to raise her little boy..
"Wait, isn't he engaged to the daughter of the Browns?"
Bianca gave a nod to her mum, she was really scared that they might demand custody over Kelvin if they found out about him and now Damien did..
Olivia raised her head up, her eyes were red and bursting with tears that rolled down her cheeks..
"Oli..
Olivia wiped her face with the back of her palms, she wasn't a weak lady to cry out in pity, her amber eyes blazed in a different light..
"I won't let anyone touch or take my son away from me! he's only mine!"
***
Damien closed the door behind him the moment he entered his mum's room, he rested his gaze at her frame sitting on the edge of the bed..
"Mum..
"Don't say anything Damien.. go on, finalize your marriage with her, I'm sure you also don't need my opinion too"
He walked towards the large window in the room " There's a huge problem mum"
Anita stood up to her feet and touched his arm gently "What happened?"
Damien turned to her with a sigh, no one knew the huge mess he was currently into right now..
"I have a son mum..."
Anita was left puzzled, she had a hard time digesting and believing what she just heard, her son was not that sought of man who sleeps around..
"What?! but with who? I mean..."
"I have a son with Olivia"
The door suddenly opened to reveal a dazed figure lingering at the corridor..
"What?"
