Chapter 36

Laura hissed like a snake before getting out of the couch that she was sitting on and walked angrily to where the socket was. She unplugged the television and tried not to cry by all means.

Every website, television and radio station had been talking about Jaime, Olivia and Kylie for hours and she was tired of listening to their stupid love story.

Laura still believed that she was Jaime fiancée.

After unplugging the television, Laura sighed heavily and started thinking about what she can do to destroy Olivia forever but when she couldn't come up with any good idea, she ran to her room and brought out Olivia's file that was with her.

She started going through the file until she saw something "Yes" she said joyfully. Dropped the file, picked up her car key and walked out of her house ***

Olivia sighed heavily while Jaime patted her "Everything is going to be okay" Jaime reassured "Just like that. I've always dreamed of all of us being together but now he is gone…gone forever"

"I'm sure he is happy wherever he is right now"

"I hope so"

"Are you guys really sure about fixing tomorrow for his burial?" Jaime asked Olivia sighed and nodded her head "Yeah, we're sure"

"Okay then" Jaime said "I would like to speak to dad"

"Okay" Olivia said "I too will like to go and talk to…my dad again. Maybe for the last time"

After Olivia left, Jaime dialed his father's number "You are everywhere Jaime," Seth said the moment he picked up.

"I know. How are you doing?"

"Good," he replied "Or maybe better. Where are you?"

"I'm with Olivia."

"Oh boy!" Seth said delightfully. "How is everyone over there?"

"Trying to be fine."

"Trying to be fine?"

"Their dad died few hours ago."

"Oh!" Seth said.

"And the burial is tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? I should be there."

"If you want to.”

"Of course I want to. Your fiancée’s family is also my family."

"Thank you dad."

"You're welcome son," Seth replied.

After chatting for few more minutes, Seth hung up the phone and Jaime joined Olivia at her father's side.

"Dad is coming," he said.

Olivia lifted up her head and looked at Jaime. She could hardly believe her soon-to-be father-in-law was going to come.

Laura drove inside a junkyard and asked for the owner of the junkyard and when the man that owned the junkyard showed up, Laura found it hard to believe that a man of his standard was the owner of a junkyard "I was told that you're asking of me. How may I help you?" The man said "I'm Laura Davilla," Laura said confidently, "I would like to talk to you in…private."

"About what?" the man asked curiously.

"About this woman?" Laura replied despairingly as she brought out a picture of Olivia that she had downloaded online and handed it to the man. The man scrutinized the picture that Laura had handed to him and said, "She is someone my wife and I don't like."

"She is someone that I would like to destroy" Laura said.

"What do you want me to do exactly?" the man asked Laura.

After discussing her plans with the man, she looked at the man in the eyes and said, "Apart from the cash, once everything is over, I promise you a modelling career."

"Wow!" the man said, "My wife and I would be really grateful."

"Just make sure to do a clean job."

"Don't worry," the man reassured and got out of the car with a picture of Olivia and Kylie in his hand.

***

Olivia, Bianca, Jaime, Kylie, Rose, Seth and his wife, and three bodyguards stood and watched as Mr. Grimes was buried the next day at a nearby burial ground.

"My condolences," Seth said to Olivia and Bianca.

"Thank you," they chorused.

After chatting with Olivia and Bianca for few more minutes, Seth faced Kylie that had been watching him under her eyelashes.

"Kylie," Seth called, "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine," Kylie replied shyly.

"Do you know who I am?"

Kylie looked at Jaime who smiled at her before looking back at Seth.

"Yes," she replied confidently, "You’re my granddad."

Seth slowly hugged Kylie and said, "You're a very smart and beautiful girl."

"Thank you."

***

Thirty minutes later, Kylie stylishly slipped away because of a balloon that attracted her few kilometers away from their gathering but one thing that Kylie didn't notice was the fact that the closer she got to the balloon, the farther away it became.

After trying to catch the balloon for another five minutes without succeeding, Kylie was about to give up when she noticed someone that was standing behind a tree "Hey" Kylie called and started walking toward the man "Hey," the man called and started motioning Kylie to move closer to him Because the man was putting on the same outfit that Seth’s bodyguards were putting on, Kylie moved toward him and said, "What are you doing here? Aren't you one of granddad's bodyguards?"

"I am…shush," he shushed Kylie the moment she was within his reach and dragged her roughly to his hidden spot.

Kylie looked at the man's handsome face fearfully and said, "You aren't a bad man, are you?"

"Shut your mouth," the man warned.

"But bad men aren't usually this cute."

"I'm not here for chit-chat little girl," the man said and brought out a handkerchief. He placed it on Kylie nose and said, "Goodnight." Kylie fell into his arms unconsciously.

He slowly carried her to his car that was few kilometers away from where they were and laid her down at the back of the car. And the moment he drove out of the burial ground, he dialed Laura's number.

"I have the girl," he said.

"Bring her to me."
