🍃CHAPTER FORTY-ONE🍃

🌷A PLAY OF SLAPS 2🌷

When it was time for the shooting,
Director Selden came up to call Gianna,
She was already done with her makeover,so they all went downstairs to the studio.

“Everything set?” The director asked the crew,
They all nodded,
Gianna and Katy are already in the stage that was decorated as an hospital hallway.

“Scene two, Action!” Director Selden’s voice boomed from behind the scene.

Play…..
“Emily what are you doing here?
I thought you’re suppose to be in London now?” Diane (Katy) asked Emily (Gianna) who was going in to see her brother,

“I came here to see my brother Emilio.” She replied wanting to pass but Diane pulled her back,

“Do you know you’re an abominable person,
How can you be having feelings for your brother,
What incest?” Diane spat,
Emily said not word,

“See you should better go back to wherever you came from cause I won’t allow you to warm your way back to Emilio’s life.” Diane continued,

“Why are you forcing yourself on a man you know doesn’t have any once of feeling whatsoever for you.” Emily spat,
Dianne slapped her.
…………
Katy was suppose to say something to Gianna but she intentionally pretended she forgot her line.

“Cut!” Director Selden called,
He came up to the stage,
“Katy concentration.
Don’t loose focus.” The man reprimanded,

“I’m sorry Sir but looking at Gianna made me forget my line.” Katy said pretentiously.
The director nodded and went behind the scene again,
“Action!” He yelled,

Katy slapped Gianna again,
This time the intensity and force applied was greater than the former,
Gianna lost balance and staggered back,
Katy pretend to forget her line.

The director reprimanded her again and they went for the third round.
She did the same thing over and over again and it became obvious that she was doing it intentionally to get back at Gianna.

While she,just stood there and endured each slaps Katy gave her even though it was getting more painful and her ear were beginning to ring.

Another slap,
Another,
Another
And another,

She was going to slap her the fourteenth time when the door of the studio pushed open,
Immediately it opened Gianna slumped.

Andre stood and saw Gianna fall to the floor,

Everyone ran towards her including Dean,
Who hadn’t been present from the beginning of the shoot.

Dean was about to help Gianna up when a mighty hand pulled him away from her,
“Get away from here.” Andre angry voice boomed,
Everyone froze,especially people who were present on his last visit to their studio,

Why does this man always come here for her?
She must be a very special person and has special place in his heart.

Andre didn’t mind the eyes that were paralyzed from his shout,
He sat beside,
He hadn’t seen her swollen cheeks from far bit now he’s seeing it,
His heart tightened.

This woman dare lay her filthy hands on his woman?

His long fingers caress her swollen cheeks,
Her felt his blood stop flowing and his heart contrast,
He felt he could annihilate the world,
He felt he could strangle the bastard that kept her in this state.

He brought out his phone and made call to his medical team to come care for her,
When they came five minutes later, He made sure no one except the medical teams were touching Gianna,

Then he walked towards Katy who was already crying with regret.

This woman holds a special place in his heart.
If I had known he was her financial backer,
I wouldn’t have lay a finger on her.
I never knew she’d a relationship with President De Marco,
The States demigod.

The sole heir of the De Marco’s Empire.
She’s gone for,
Katy,you’ve touched the wrong person this time.

“You.” Andre pointed at her while she froze,
“How dare you?” His words were so frightening Katy preferred to be struck by lightening than be scolded by him,
“I didn’t do it intentionally.” She stammered,
“How dare you touch Gianna?” He asked her with coldness emitting from him,

Katy turned to Dean who was standing by the side,
Hoping he would come to her rescue but the man turned away from her.
Now,I’m done for.

“Preside………” Before she could finish,
Andre grabbed her neck and raised her up.
Katy thought she was going to die from his grip,
She was suffocating and slowly loosing her breathe.
“How many times did you slap her?” He asked the woman,
She couldn’t speak because of suffocation but someone in the crowd spoke up,
It was Fanny Williams.

“She’d hit Gigi fourteen times before she slumped,
” Katy had been troubling Gigi since she came into the show light,
No one knew she would go to the extent of pretending to forget her line so as to punish poor Gigi.”
Katy was surprised to see her friend now against her,
In fact almost everyone was.

“I though she was your friend and you don’t like the newcomer?” Someone beside Fanny asked her quietly,

“Well it not about liking who and not liking who,
What Katy did was very wrong and she deserves punishment for it.” She said,
The person knew it was far from that but didn’t probe further.

Fortunately for her,Andre remembered Gianna was still lying on the floor unconscious,
“Chairman De Marco,we suspect some bleeding under the conjunctiva but I’ll suggest a thorough medical check to be sure.” The head of the medical team said to him,

He let go of Katy and turned to the guards,
“Keep her eye on her till I get back.” He said,
Scooped up his woman and left the studio.

At the De Marco’s Private Hospital, Andre was sitting beside Gianna when a nurse came inside with a tray of prescription for her,
Keeping the tray on the table,it made a sound and Gianna’s browed furrowed,

The man turned to the nurse icily,
“Be quiet.”

“President De Marco,I’m sorry,it was an….”
“And I said shut up.” He said more angrily,
She kept shut immediately.

The doctor came in a few minutes later and was checking her,
“How severe are her injuries?” He asked the doctor,
“Well for now, it’s not yet……”
Andre gave the man an unhappy face,
“I don’t want such ambiguous answer,
What harm has been caused to her ear?” He asked again,
The man’s presence was so looming,
The staffs were all scared to make any silly mistake.

“The swelling of her face will heal under a few days,
And a subconjunctival hemorrhage in the left eyes,
It’s not something worrisome.
But the one that’s rather serious is the eardrum perforation.”

“Serious?
How serious?” Andre asked,
His heart tightened at the thought of something bad happening to Gianna.

“We’ll have to run some few more test to know how serious it is,but for the time being she’ll have to stay away from noise or anything loud,
She should get enough rest and eat heathy.” The doctor said to Andre,

“What’d cause the eardrum perforation?” Andre asked,
“Well,it was because force and intensity at which the slaps landed on her ear,
“And her tympanic membrane has a tear and its slightly hemorrhaging.
But since this part of human anatomy has strong regenerating capacity,
It might take up to a month to heal.”

Andre frowned,
That Katy has hurt his woman so badly it’ll take her months to heal
She’ll pay for this dearly.

That evening,he ordered his chauffeur to go bring the boys over to the hospital,
Reid had called Gianna earlier but since she was still sleeping,

He went outside to accept the call and told them their mother had been admitted to the Hospital.
“What happened to mommy?” The boys asked in unison immediately they heard the news,

“Well mommy got into a bit of an accident at the shoot and was brought to the hospital to receive treatment.” He said to them,

“What’s the name of the hospital?” Reis asked his father,

“Don’t worry,I’ll send the chauffeur to come get you guys.” He said,

“Okay thanks.” The boy hung up,

“What did you think really happened to mommy?” Justin asked his brother,
“How should I know?
Was I at the hospital or at the place it happened?” He retorted,

“You don’t have to be harsh on me.” Justin said frowning,
This younger brother of his is too uptight and tough.

“Go get ready,your daddy is coming to get us soon.” He told the boy,
“Isn’t he your daddy too?” Justin asked surprising,
“Well,he might be my father biological but I need time to fully accept the both of you.” The younger boy seethed,

“But I’ve accepted mommy as my mommy,so you have to accept me and daddy as family too.”Justin said to the boy,

“Why should I accept you so suddenly because you’re family.” Reid retorted,
“Because you’re my brother and I’m your older brother and I want to be part of your life.” Justin said coolly,
“I don’t think I’ve time for that now,lets get ready the driver will be here soon.”Reid said,

He has no time to argue with this silly brother of his,
He went into his room to get ready while his brother followed behind.

To be continued.

🍃CHAPTER FORTY-TWO🍃

🌷”I’LL HAVE TO SLAP YOU BACK”🌷

When the boy’s came Gianna was now awake and was so happy to see both her sons,

“Mommy what happened to you?’Reid asked his mommy sitting beside her while his brother sat by the other side,

” Yea,mommy tell us if someone had bully you,me and brother will go and bully that person.”Justin said from beside her too,

My boys are bent on protecting me
She smiled at the kids words,
“No one bullied mommy okay,
Mommy got into an accident during the shoot and she got hurt.” Andre said before Gianna could say anything,

Although she wasn’t going to tell the boys what happened,
But was surprised at how he quickly spoke up,
“Mommy is it true?” Reid asked his mommy,

Gianna nodded,
She doesn’t want the boys to be worried about her,
“Yeah, what daddy said is the truth.”

“But what type of accident is that?” Justin asked dumbly,
Reid smirked,
This brother of mine likes to humor me with his dumbness.

“You’re so silly,
All accident are accident and whoever gets involve in one is sure to get hurt.” Reid reprimanded,
Justin frowned and turned to his mommy,

Mommy can you tell younger brother to be less harsh on me.”he pleaded his mom,
Since he knows his brother only listens to her.

“Reid stop being harsh on your brother,okay?”Gianna said to the boy playfully
The boy nodded

Andre just stood by the door and watch the chemistry between Gianna and the boys,
She,playing with the bangs on Reid’s hair,
Justin touched it too,
The younger boy faked a smile.

Recalling what Gianna had told him yesternight, he smiled,
Is this the happy family she wanted so dearly,
With me and the boys and any other baby we’ll possibly make in the future.
He smiled but his thought got interrupted by his ringing phone,

He dipped his hand into his pocket and got out the phone,
“A call from Denver Tower,”
He excused himself and went outside to take the call,

“President De Marco,what should we do to Miss Katy?” The caller asked,
Andre sighed,
“Get me to the Chairman of Denver Tower.” He said to the caller,

The call went on hold for awhile before another voice boomed from the other end,
“Hello President De Marco.” Director Selden spoke,
“I want Katy banned from the movie industry and every other movie in the States.” He ordered,
His words were authority,
So Director Selden need not to argue with him.

“Okay Sir.” The man said,
“And something else,
Let it known to the media all the unspoken rules she has been involved herself in.” He said to the man,
“But President, isn’t that too much?” The man asked,

If he’s to leak to the media Katy unspoken acts,
Her whole life will be in scandal,
She won’t be able to act or get signed to any industry ever again.

“She deserves death for hitting Gianna but I’m just going to ruin her life than kill her.” Andre retorted as he hung up.
The person that hurts his woman deserves death but he’s being lenient here cause she’s a woman.

Before nightfall,it became a trending news on social media that actress Katy had slapped a newbie several times in pretence of forgetting her line.
Most of Katy’s followers became mad at her,
While Gianna’s followers raised abuses on Katy for hitting the newbie in such ruthless manner.

Katy who’d seen the trending new,went to her manager’s house that night,

Her manager Mr Shroff was so mad at her when he saw the news,
He tried as hard as he could to calm down the angry fans but all booed him,
“How could you have done something as stupid as this?” The man asked Katy,

“Mr De Marco might decide to ban you from the Industry and if he does that,
We will both be in trouble cause all my investment on you’ll get wasted and you’ll loose your career.” He reprimanded her,

“I didn’t know she was his woman and sure didn’t know it would get that bad.” She replied the man,

The man sighed,
He wasn’t worried if she loses her career,
What bothers him most is losing all the money he has invested in her so far.
He’ll go bankrupt if she’s banished from the movie industry and he surely doesn’t want that.

“We’re going to go and beg Mr Andre,so he won’t take this up against you.” Mr Shroff said,
Katy frowned,
Begging the man means begging Gianna and she can’t beg that lowlife woman.

“Sir can you just go….”
“You’re going to go with me and beg Mr Andre and that’s final.” The man insisted,
Katy sighed,
As much as she doesn’t want to beg Gianna,
She couldn’t risk her career and her image,
So she’ll have to swallow her pride and go with her manager to the hospital to beg Gianna.

Andre had the kids go back home while he stayed with Gianna at the hospital,
“Why didn’t you stop her when she it became obvious she was hurting you?” He asked her as he lay beside her on the bed.

Since he practically owns the hospital,
He got them a VIP room with a comfortable bed,
A set of couch and a private washroom.
In fact it was more of a mini room.

“I just wanted to be professional and endure the shit till the shoot was over.” She replied,
He frowned,
“Be professional my foot!” He scolded,
“How can you sit still and get hurt and you tell me it’s being professional?”

“I think it’s high time you stop acting,
Stay back home and take care of our boys Anna,
I’ll take care of you and our kids.” He kissed her on her swollen cheek,

“Just don’t go out to work or shoot,or even do anything,
Stay home with our kids,
I’ll make Justin stay with you and Reid,
I have the money and the capability to take care of you and our kids and even the ones we’re yet to have.”He whispered to her ear,kissing her earlobes,

” Andre,are you trying to seduce me?” She asked him in a pleasing but funny way,

He bit her ear,
“Aargh!” She cried,
“Give me my reply before asking me anything.” He said huskily,slipping his hands under her gown,
She frowned,
Then replied his question,

“I don’t want to stay at home and be a dependent on anyone Andre,
I want to work hard for my own money and in the right way.”

Andre frowned,
“You don’t want to be dependent on anyone and you’re in the entertainment cycle,
You need to have a financial backer,
And you already have me and I’m telling you to stop working and be my woman….”

“Andre I can be your woman but I can’t be dependent on you,
I want to get my money in a legal and dignified way.” She said,
He frowned but didn’t stop touching her,

“Okay,suite yourself but be rest assured I’m not going to let another man have you or share you with another man.” He said sternly,as a matter of fact.

“I won’t let another man into my life cause you’re the only one I want,
You’re the only man I want.” She took the initiative and kissed him on the bridge of his nose,

“You’re learning fast.” He said smiling,
Now fondling her naked breast under the silk gown she was putting on,

“Does anything run through that brain of yours apart from naughty thoughts?” She asked him playfully,
“Not when I’m with you cause whenever I’m with you,there’s nothing I think of than having to claim you over and over again.” He said drawing a kiss from her.

Before she could say another word,
He drew up the gown and started ravaging her body with his urgent kisses,
“I’m not gonna be rough baby,just stay calm.” He whispered to her ear as he claimed her on the hospital bed.

The next morning,Gianna was still in bed with Andre when someone knocked on the door,
She turned to Andre who was pretending to be asleep,

“Andre someone’s at the door.” She poked his chest,
“Tell them we’re busy and they should get lost.” He said sleepily,
She pushed his arms off her and stood up from the bed,
“I’m going to get the door.” She walked to the door and opened it.

Katy and Mr Shroff were at the door,
She sighed immediately she saw Katy,
“Anna who’s there?” Andre asked from the couch,
He was already up and looking at him,one can’t tell he just got up.

“Miss McKenna,please may we come in?” Manager Shroff asked,
She nodded and the walked inside the pretty lavished room.

Gianna went on and sat down beside Andre,
“Good morning President De Marco.” Mr Shroff greeted the man,
Katy greeted too,
Andre just nodded at their greeting,
The sight of the woman irks him a lot.

“What do you want?” Gianna asked rudely,
Andre smiled,
This woman is now leaning on me.

“My client and I came to apologize to Miss McKenna for what happened at the set yesterday.” The manager said,
Gianna eye trailed to Katy,
The woman doesn’t look sorry at all.

“We’re very sorry for what happened and are duly to take responsibility for my client’s action.” Mr Shroff said,

“But your client doesn’t look sorry to me at all.” Gianna said to Mr Shroff,
The man signalled to Katy to apologize to Gianna,

Katy took a few steps forward,
“Gianna I’m sorry for what happened.” She apologize with no iota of remorse in her face,
“I promise to be of a good conduct and will never cause trouble for you in the future.” She said still with no form of sincerity in her voice.

“Well Katy,I’ll forgive you under one condition.”Gianna said to her,
Everyone including Andre turned to her,

Is this lady being serious?
Is she trying to play hard cause I’m here?
I’m very impressed.

Katy wanted to argue but seeing Andre in the room and knowing how special Gianna is to the man,
She’d to play nice.

” What condition? “She asked her,
“Well,its just a small thing though,
I’ll have to return all the slap you gave me back to you,
If you agree,I’ll slap you and forget something of this sort ever happened.” She seethed,
Katy gasped while Andre was smiled and nodded.

To be continued.

🌷”RIGHTFUL MOTHER?”🌷

“Do you agree to my condition?” Gianna asked Katy,
The latter wanted to say no but before she could speak up,Mr Shroff did,
“Miss Katy is ready for any conditions as long as she’s forgiven.” He turned to Katy and gave her a death glare,

You better not ruin this opportunity for me.

Katy moved towards Gianna who was sitting relaxed beside Andre,
“Kneel in front of me,I can’t stand up to slap you.” She said pointing to the floor,
Katy looked at her in disdain and she saw of all but that isn’t her main concern now,
Her main concern is to make sure one slap is enough to send Katy deaf for the rest of her life.

Gianna flexed her palm’s muscles as Katy knelt in front of her,
“Turn sideway.” She ordered,
The other woman could do nothing turn as she was told.

The first slap landed on her cheek and it was goddamned electrifying.
Andre was shocked at the sound of the slap.
Katy felt her ear burst open from the slap,she looked at Gianna’s palm to be sure it had just hit her and not Andre’s.

The second slap followed with a more electrifying shock,
Katy’s earrings stung her as Gianna slapped her,
This cause the back of her ear to bleed.

“Don’t worry, it’s just twelve remaining.” Gianna said with a swell of happiness within her,

The third slap sent Katy to the floor and her ear seemed to have stopped functioning cause she wasn’t hearing a word from her left ear.

“Its just eleven to go and I’ll be done.” Gianna said seeing the lady on the floor with both hands on her bleeding ear,

No,I can’t let her slap me again,
My slap weren’t this painful but
she wants to pull out my ear with her.
Katy stood up from the floor with both hands on her left ear,
“No!
You’re not permitted to slap me again.
I won’t allow you slap me in fact,I don’t need your stupid forgiveness
Keep them to yourself and give them to people who need it.” She stood up from the floor with anger and in tears.

Standing up,she staggered out of the room while Mr Shroff even though was angry at her,he greeted President De Marco and left the room.

Andre turned to the woman beside him,
“You used me as a backer?” He asked,she nodded and began to laugh,
“I’d to,she wouldn’t have done anything if you weren’t here,so I’d to use my financial backer to my advantage.” She said to him,

“You did really well but next time you have the chance of slapping anyone,let it be a very tight slap okay.” He advised,
She nodded and smiled at him.

Meanwhile,Jasmine was scared,
She didn’t know how to put forth her pregnancy to grandfather and to Andre,

She might be able to make the old man believe her but Andre is someone she can’t convince so easily.
He has never touched her or even show intimate advances to her.
It would be hard to pin the pregnancy on him,
Since she is as sure as hell he hasn’t made love to her before.

“Miss are you alright?” The maid who was serving her meals asked her,
She nodded but immediately the aroma of the Garlic Pork got to her nostrils,she stood up immediately and went to retch,

The maid followed her once to know if she’s okay,
“Ma’am are you sure you’re alright?
You’ve been retching lately this days.” The maid asked,
“Yes,I’m fine.” She took a glass of water and washed her mouth,
“Get me something else to eat.” She ordered the maid and headed back to her room

Having spent almost thirty minutes in her room,a knock came through the door,
“Come in.” She cried,
The door opened and the old man walked inside,
“Jasmine child,I just heard from the maid you aren’t feeling well,
Is it true?”The old man asked as he walked in.

In the whole house,he’s the only one who cares about her and has her best interest in heart,
Justin and his father Andre are alike,
Aloof and cold to everyone else but each other.

“Yes Grandpa.” She replied weakly,
The old man frowned,
He hates seeing his Jasmine in pain.
“Have you had something to eat?” He asked her,
She shook her head,
“I’d asked the maid to prepare some chicken soup and curry for me.” She replied the man from the bed,
He nodded and touched her forehead with the back of his palms,
Indirectly checking her temperature.

“Let’s go down and get you something okay,
You need not lie in bed all day,it’ll worsen your health.” He said,
“Has Andre been home since?” He asked the girl,she weakly shook her head,
“No grandfather, he’s with that other woman.” She said sadly,

The old man frowned,
All of a sudden his most trusted and obedient grandson is becoming rebellious because of a woman.
This is so not good,
He’d to so something before that slutty entertainer gain way into their family and ruin it,
Cause as long as he’s alive,
He’ll never let any entertainer step for into the family.

He took out his cellphone and placed a call to his detective.
“What’s the name of that woman again?” He asked Jasmine with the phone on his left ear,
“Her name’s Gianna,Gianna McKenna.” She replied,

Immediately his detective accepted the call,
He spoke up,
“Good day Sir, what would you like us to do for you?” The man asked,

“I want you to run a check on Gianna McKenna and get me the result ASAP.” Immediately the other man replied,he hung up.

Then placed a call to Andre.
“Alexandre De Marco.” He called,

Andre was with Gianna when his grandfather called,he accepted the call immediately,
“Hello grandfather.” His tone was flat,
“Alexandre De Marco.” The old man called,
One could still trace the fierceness of the man’s calling.
“What is it grandfather?” He asked the man.
“I’m not speaking to you on phone boy,you get yourself home now and do bring back my great grandson with you.” He ordered,

Andre sighed,
“Okay.” He hung up immediately and looked at Gianna,
“I’ll have to go home to the old man.” He informed her,
She was sad,
She doesn’t want him to leave her.
“But I’ll go bring the boys here to keep you company while I’m away.” He said to her kissing her forehead.

Immediately he left the hospital, he went to her house and brought both boys to the hospital,
Gianna was elated to see the boy but not as happy as she is when she’s with Andre.

Andre went home alone and throughout his drive home,he pondered on telling Jasmine about her pregnancy and that’s he’s not the father.
The only thing he wanted to do was to expose her but he has to wait till the time’s right.

When he got home,his grandfather and the girl were in the living room.
“Andre where are you coming from?” The old man asked,
The boy stopped in front of him and greeted the man,
“Good day grandfather.” The old man didn’t reply,rather he still kept a stoic profile.

The man might be advance in years but during his young days,
He’d had many bloodbath,
So he still is the fiercest amongst the family.

“I’m coming from somewhere.” Andre replied nonchalantly.
“Somewhere more important than your fiancé?
And where’s my great grandson?” The man asked once he noticed the kid isn’t with his father,
“He’s with his mother.” Andre blurted,
“Which mother?” The old man asked angrily,

“His biological mother of course.” He said,
Then he was this old man’s toy doing whatever the old man asks of him,
But now,he’s no longer a puppet to be toyed with,
He has two sons and a prospective wife,
In fact he has a whole fucking family,
So he doesn’t need to be a pawn in his old man’s hands any more.

How dare you?” The man scolded,
“Jasmine’s the boys mother and you can’t take away that right from her,
That woman sold her right to Jasmine eight years ago.” The old man was hyper but Andre remained calmed.

What if he tells this old man that all those contract documents from eight years ago were all fake and forged.

* * * *
8 YEARS AGO.
Immediately Andre got information on Gianna McKenna, his proposed surrogate,
He was rather baffled that she was the real Mistress of the family and his true bride.
So he decided to fake all the contract documents.

He went to the Jury and ordered for a fake document,
The Jury couldn’t say no or refuse him for the fear of being cut down,
So they gave him the fake contract papers which he and Gianna had signed.
So on a real sense Gianna still has right to the boys and by law and biological reasoning,
They’re both her sons.
* * * *

“She sold her right to be the child’s mother but when the proposed mother’s busy with her own pregnancy,
Why can’t the biological mother step in and take her place?” His question stupefied the old man,
While every single color on Jasmine’s face drained,

“What do you mean by those words?” The old man asked,
“Well you should ask your beloved granddaughter what’s happening to her.” Andre seethed with hatred for both the man and Jasmine,

The man turned to her,
Jasmine was scared to tell the man that she’s pregnant and the child isn’t Andre’s rather it’s Aaron.
“Jas,talk to Grandpa,
What wrong with you?” He asked with concern.
“Grandpa, I’m pregnant.” She said,

“Grandpa sorry I didn’t tell you earlier,I was trying to be sure and also just found out recently.” She continued.
The old man’s worried face dissolved into a dazzling smile.

It was evident he was happy,
That’s sure a great new and we’ve to celebrate……”
“It’s no celebration cause that bastard in her womb isn’t my child.”Andre said out,

The old man frowned,
Jasmine who’d foreseen the man’s
actions frowned too,
“Andre!” The old man called,
“What insolence?
How dare you deny your seed?”

The old man was furious but Andre cared less,
Why should he bother about him when the old man doesn’t care about him too.

Jasmine had began to shed fake tears,
By doing this,she was gaining favor from the old man and more hate from Andre,
“Grandfather, he’s accusing me of cheating.” She clutched the old man’s hand as she spoke.

“Child don’t worry,
If he’s doing this to try bring that unworthy woman into our family then he fails,
You alone are the Mistress of this family.” He old man consoled her,

“How can I ever cheat on him Grandpa?
I love him with all my existence and I’ve never thought of cheating on him,
But now,he’s denying his seed and also accusing me of infidelity.”She continued to fake tears,while the old man consoles her,

” Why don’t we run a paternity test on the baby?”Andre asked,
Whether she accepts or not,
He was still going to prove to this old man that Jasmine isn’t who he think she’s.

“No!” The old man said,
Even Andre became confused,
“Do you want to kill the still developing foetus?” He asked Andre,
The man was practically livid,
His grandson was turning into something else.

“If you carry out a paternity test now the foetus is yet to develop,
It’ll cause harm to it,so it’s advisable to wait when the foetus is well developed before going for any paternity test.” The old man suggested,
“Yes I agree to that cause I want to clear my name too.” Jasmine said wiping her tears smeared face.

But deep down,Andre knows her plan,
Before the time the paternity test would be carried out,
Jasmine might do something unexpected,
Maybe an intentional miscarriage or something worse,just to cover her track.
This woman’s so despicable,
But nevertheless, he’s going to expose to to his grandfather when he has enough evidence and proof to bring her down.

To be continued.

🌷UNKNOWN MAIL🌷

Soon after Andre left home,
A mail was sent to Jasmine,
The ground master who’d seen the mail in the mail box sent it to the Miss’s room.

“Ma’am theses are for you.” Her personal maid handed the mail to her,
“Who’d sent it?” Jasmine asked the girl taking the big brown envelope from her,
“The ground master sent it up here,said he saw it in the mailbox.” The girl replied,

Jasmine nodded and they girl left the room,giving her privacy,
She opened the brown envelope,
It was filled with files and documents.

Files and document on her previous deeds,
The real result from the first and second DNA the old man conducted.
Her pregnancy result and the paternity test concluding Aaron as the father.
Her real fertility test result proving she’s very much fertile.
And some few documents on Gianna being the real Mistress and the daughter of Katerina.
In fact the mail has all of her secrets in it.

Who’d sent this?
She looked around her room to know if anyone was watching her,
But to her utmost surprise, no one was watching her and nothing was out of the ordinary.

She was still in the state of shock when her phone rang,
She checked the ID,
It was a private number.

She accepted the call and a male voice boomed from the calling end,
“I hope you liked my package?” The male voice asked her,
The voice was so unfamiliar that she couldn’t even place a guess to it.

“Who’re you?” She asked scared shit,
She has never been this scared all her life.
“You want to know who I am?”The man asked,
” Then you have to come and meet me at Lá Valona and I’ll tell you want I want from you and what you’ll gain from me by helping me get what I want.” The caller said,

Before Jasmine could say another word,he hung up.
Who’s this man and what does he want from me?
She couldn’t concentrate on any other thing apart from the unknown man who just called her.

Jasmine got ready immediately,
She was going to go meet the man who’d just called her,
“Where’s grandfather?” She asked her personal maid as she came out of her room,
“He’s in his room,I think he’s having a nap.” The woman replied,
“Okay,I’ll be back soon.”She said to the maid and she left immediately.

Getting to the restaurant which was just at the outskirt of the town,
She got out of her Bentley and walked into the restaurant.

Sitting in the VIP lounge of the restaurant,
Jasmine checked her watch,
She has been here for over an hour thirty minutes but still no sight of the strange man.

She was about leaving the place from anger when her phone rang again,
The same private number,she accepted the call in great frustration.
” Hello.”The male voice boomed again,
“Are you leaving now?” He asked her,
She looked around to know if he was around but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

“Where are you?” She asked him frightened,
“I’m right behind you.” He said,
Immediately, she turned and saw the man in black impeccable suit walked into the VIP lounge.

The man had a very smooth but cold profile,
He doesn’t even look like someone with the capability of digging out all her secret.
He was a very handsome man one could tell,
And has a noble personality.
His aura was very dignified.

Jasmine continued to watch the man as he came to the seat and sat down,
“Were you the one who called me?” She asked almost in a whisper.

“Disrespect.
Don’t you know how to show respect to an elder man?” He asked frowning,
“Good day Sir.” She said quickly to avoid the man’s wrath.
The man nodded,
“You can now sit down.” He said to her,

Sit down?
Sit with a stranger that has the capability to destroy my whole life and expose all my secrets.
This is so preposterous.

“Do you know me?” The man first asked her,
She shook her head and the man smiled,
“Seems there are lot more to the De Marco than what my father has been telling you.” He said coolly,
She frowned,
“The old man haven’t shown you his other sons,
That’s so bad.
But don’t worry with time,you’ll get to meet my other brother.”

Jasmine was confused,
“Are you Aleksandr De Marco?” She asked,
Boom,
The man got angry and banged the table causing fear to paralyze every part of her body,
“Disrespect!
Disrespect!!
Call me Uncle Aleksandr!” He shouted in anger,

“Uncle Aleksandr..” She mumbled with fear
Immediately the man angry face dissolved,
Just like her calling him Uncle is the antidote to his anger.
This man is a real psychopath.

“Let’s get to why we’re here,” He put on a more serious look,
“You see all those papers and documents?”
She nodded,
“And you know what will happen if they ever get out?”
She nodded again,
Then it stuck her,
“How did you get hold of those papers?
I knew I’d destroyed all of them back then.”

The man half smiled,
“For over a decade and half,I’ve been your shadow,
Watching everything and every step you take.
And I must say you’ve tried really hard my dear.”

“What do you mean?” She said,

“Well,I know what was going on between you and the director of Washburn Orphanage and the reason why you got much favors from him.

I know Gianna owns that jade that got you into the De Marco’s household and how you stole it from her.

Wondering how the first DNA result conducted on you got altered?
I’m responsible for that too.

And that doctor that altered the second one,the one you to paid to leave the country,
I killed him too.

I know what was going on between you and Andre’s Assistant Manager and the result of your pregnancy,
I’d also conducted the paternity test on you a few days ago.

And for your infertility result eight years ago,
Andre was responsible for that.
He’d gone to the doctors and requested for a fake result,making everyone believe you’re infertile and not capable of bearing a child.

“What?” She was shocked,
“Yeah,
Like I said earlier, there’s a lot more to know about the De Marcos than what you already knew.”

“I know that Andre has found Gianna and her son and he’s planning on getting her into the family with her son.
He’s bent on sending you out and bring her in…..

” Grandfather will never allow that.” She claimed,
The man began to laugh,
Jasmine frowned,
What’s so funny about what I just said?

“You’re hoping on the old man?
Hmmm,
Forget about him,the man’s old and just a few years to his grave,
And do you think Andre will let you stay in the house?
He’ll kick you out of the house like you never existed.”

“If you help me,
I’ll help you get what you want…..”

“What do you want?” She asked the man,
He brought out a parcel from his briefcase,
“I just want something you can get me,
I want the staff of authority of my family and I’ll give you wealth and riches you can’t fathom.” He said proudly,

“I want to be the Mistress of the family.” She said adamantly,
The man laughed at her foolishness,

“How possible do you think that’s,
Andre’s the successor which I’m about to steal right under his nose,
And he’ll never marry you as long as Gianna…..”

“Then I want you to get rid of her and her son for me,
I’ll help you get whatever you want.” She said hastily,
The man smiled,
“That’s more like you.” He patted her shoulder,
“Now were both on the same page,
My first work for you is to feed the old man this,” He handed the parcel to her,

“Feed him this on daily basis,
It won’t kill him but it’ll slowly deteriorate his health and slowly kill his immune system..” She gasped,

“You just have to do it,
With or without,the old mans still going to die and the faster the better.” She took the parcel from him,

“Then as for the woman and her son,leave them to me,
I’ll handle them myself.” He said,
She nodded with great doubt in her heart.
No matter how vicious and heartless she’s,
She can’t bring herself to kill the old man.

For years,he has been the only one that cares deeply for her.
How can she hurt the man.
She can’t do that.
She might play this man and make him believe she’s doing as they’ve agreed but she won’t hurt the man.
She’ll never hurt him.
Never ever.

🍀THE BILLIONAIRE’S SURROGATE🍀

🌹BY QUIN TULLY🌹

🍃CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE🍃

🌷HOLIDAY AT THE BEACH🌷

Andre drove back to the hospital to meet Gianna and the boys,
Gianna was so elated to have him back with her,
“You’re back.” She asked him as he sat beside her and was playing with her hair,
His mood wasn’t good,not after having to bicker with his old man and Jasmine,

“You don’t look so good,what happened?” She asked him seeing his long face,
“It’s nothing.” He answered her faking a smile,
“You don’t look fine to me Andre,
Tell me what’s the matter?” She persisted,

He doesn’t want to tell her that he just had a one war session with his grandfather and Jasmine.
She need not to worry about his family issues,
He’ll handle everything,
He just want her to stay safe and be by his side always.

He leaned close to her,
“Anna,I’m fine.” He assured her,stealing a kiss from her,
The kids who were busy with the flickering screen didn’t seem to notice the intimate session between their parents.

“I’ve got an idea,” Andre said to her in a whisper,
She looked at him,
“What?”
“Let’s go on a vacation,
Me,you and the boys.” He said,

“That’ll be a good idea,
Where do you want us to go?” She asked him,
He for one,wanted to take her and the boys to his Private Island he just purchased for over millions of dollars but he wanted her to chose where she’ll love to go to.

“Where do you want to go?” He asked her,
She smiled before giving him her reply,
“I want to be anywhere as long as you’re by my side.”
Andre smiled at her,
“Then let’s go away for the week,
We’ll go to my Private Island in the Outer Banks.” He whispered to her ear.

His words were so magical,it sent tingling sensations all over her.
As long as she’s with him,
She’s safe and no one,
Absolutely no one can hurt her.

“Is that a yes?” He asked seeing her close her eyes,
She nodded,
“Should I inform the boys?” He asked her,
Seeing her positive effect to his words,
He felt very hyper with joy

She’s his woman and would continue to be his woman,
No one can change the fact that she’s his and his alone.
He would crush the world for her and build a world just meant for her,
Gianna McKenna is his woman,
She’s Alexandre De Marco’s woman.

That day,Andre made a call to the servant in his Beach House and informed them of his coming and they should get everything ready to accommodate him,his woman and both his sons.
Then made a call to Denver Tower on updates on Katy’s ban,
The director told him that everything was under control and Katy would be issued a ban notice soon.

Since the actress has lost a lot of fans after the slapping scene being leaked,
She and her Manager, Mr Shroff had lost billions of dollars.
She’d been trying to explain to the media that it was an unintentional accident and she had lost control of herself but seems like all forces of nature was against her.

The next few days,
The shooting process was put on hold cause of Gianna’s absence,
Instead of being in the hospital,
Andre got a private yatch that took them to his newly purchased Beach House in the Outer Banks.

Gianna had been nervous when they first got into the yatch,
It’s her first ride across the sea,so she got very scared at first,
Andre who noticed she was nervous and scared pulled her closer to him and kissed her forehead,
“Scared?”
She nodded,
“You shouldn’t be Anna,you’re safe with me okay,
I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” He soothed her,

Immediately he did,she relaxed into his arms while the boys sat in the control spot with the captain of the yatch,
Bombarding the poor man which necessary and unnecessary questions.

It was late noon when they got to the beach house,
Gianna was super amazed by what she saw,
This Beach House wasn’t like others,
This one was more like a Villa than a house
It’s width spread out like a vast land,
With three gigantic buildings on the plain while one by the hills like side of the Island.

This Beach House was surrounded by mother nature,
Green and eco friendly.
It’s surrounding was one of a type.
For once,Gianna felt she was in paradise.
The boy’s even Justin was super astound

He has been to many magnificent houses and has lived in one but he has never seen one of this sort,
“Daddy this house is very magnificent and very very….”
“Exquisite.” Reid said,helping his brother complete the words,
“Yes,it’s very exqu…”
“Exquisite you fool.” Reid cursed,
The older boy frowned,
“You don’t have to be harsh, I just forgot the word.” The older boy defended himself while his brother smirked.

Gianna who was sitting beside Andre smiled seeing the boys bicker,
“You guys should go choose your room from the first floor alone okay.” Andre said to the boys,
Justin who understood that the man was just trying to get them out of the living room complied but Reid was more adamant,

“No,I want to stay with mommy,
Mommy you said you’ll help me unpack.” He turned to his mommy,reminding her of her promise.
Andre winked at Justin pleading with the boy to help him get his younger brother out,
Justin nodded and turned to Reid who had on a sad expression.

“Little brother,let’s go out and play volleyball together,” Justin took the boy’s arm but Reid fiercely took his arm away,
“No I don’t want to go.” He protested,
“Whoever wins will have to stay with mommy tonight.” Justin chipped in.

Immediately the younger boy heard this,
He frowned,
“Why so I have to share mommy with you or compete with you for her?”
“If you don’t agree then mommy’s going to stay with me tonight and you’ll sleep alone.” Justin said while Andre and Gianna watch both kids bargain on who’s sleeping with their mommy tonight.

“Okay I agree,I’ll play the game with you.” Reid finally gave up,
Justin smiled to his father,then took his brother’s arms,
“Now let’s go play our game and know who wins at last.”
With this the two boys left them alone.

“We’re alone.” Andre said smiling mischievously,
“You made Justin take him out?” She asked him,
“Yeah,I had to,
That son of yours is such a spoilsport,
So I had to make him go out to spend time with you.” He said kissing her lower lip.

“Andre do you know we’re out and the kids might walk in anytime.” She said trying to get away from him,
But he pulled her back to himself.
“They won’t,
Justin understands me well enough to keep his brother out till we’re done.” He said in between kissing her and biting her,

“Ouch!” She cried,
He licked the spot he’d bitten,
“You’ve corrupt my son with your naughty thoughts.” She said to him poking his chest,
“He doesn’t know what we’re doing,
He only knows whenever we’re together, he has to take his younger brother out to give us privacy.” Andre said to her.

She loves the fact that the boys weren’t with them,
She needs quality time with him.
She doesn’t know what the future holds for the both of them but she’s sure to make very moment they’d together to be memorable for the both of them.

“Are you drooling over me again?” Andre asked her when he noticed she couldn’t take her eyes off him and she was lost in thoughts too.

“No.
Why would I drool over you?” She asked him,
“Because I’m the most handsome and smart man you’ve ever seen.” He said proudly,
I think it’s time to burst your bubbles.

“And who told you,you’re the most handsome and smartest man I’ve ever met?” She said,
immediately he frowned,
Is she trying to make me jealous?

“I know for the fact that I’m,
See how handsome and smart both our sons are especially Reid,
He took his smart gene from me and Justin took his strength from me too.” The man said,

“So what gene did you offer to the kids?” He asked her,
“Reid’s soft and kind nature and Justin’s too,
I’ve seen the boy’s caring and kind nature whenever he’s with his brother.” She said,
Andre heart tightened within.

She doesn’t know how vile and vicious her son Reid is and how much power that boy holds in his reins.
I’ve promise the boy I won’t say of word of it to her till he’s ready to tell her himself.

“And that’s why we’re the perfect couple.” He said,slowing taking her lips to his,
Drawing every pleasing sensation from her luscious lips.
She was a goddamn drug and he was addicted to her,
Can’t get enough of her no matter what he does.

This greed to get her all out is what makes him an addicted lover.
He’s addicted to her so bad,
All day nothing runs in his head than having to claim her over and over again till there was nothing more left in him.

Since she’s very fragile and soft,
He’s always sure not to go rough on her,
Fearing he would hurt her if he ever go rough on her.
She was all his to protect and claim,
She was his woman,his companion,
His mate and his everything.
They were no Romeo and Juliet
Or
Jack and Rose,
Rather they were both Gianna and Andre,creating their own love history.

The both parent were so busy in their world but immediately they heard Justin’s cry from outside,
Gianna who was security conscious heard the boy’s cry first,
She strained her ear closely,

The little boy was calling out to her,
“Mommy!”
She looked at Andre who was lost in kissing her,
“Andre,I think something’s wrong outside.” She said,
“Mommy!” The boy cry became clearer and closer.
Andre who has finally heard it,stood up from the sofa,
Taking Gianna’s arm,
They both ran out to see what’s happening.

They both came out only to see Justin’s carrying his brother on his arms,
The younger boy seem to be unconscious cause he wasn’t moving at all….

To be continued.

🍀THE BILLIONAIRE’S SURROGATE🍀

🍃CHAPTER FORTY-SIX🍃

🌷”I’LL PROTECT MY LITTLE BROTHER.”🌷

Gianna and Andre ran to the boy and took Reid from him,
“What happened to him?” Andre asked the older boy who was crying seeing his brother like that.

She took the boy and lay him on the sofa,
His head was placed above his body.
Immediately the Butler ran to the living room to help out,
“Ma’am, is there anything I can do to help?” The man asked,
Gianna was paying attention to any other person apart from her sick son so she didn’t reply him.

“Andre! Help me out here.” She cried,
Gianna was hyper,confused and scared.
The boy was having a difficulty in breathing,
Andre rushed to her,

He too was confused,
He doesn’t know what was wrong with his younger son.
The boys breathe were heavy and belabored.

“Reid! Take it slowly.
Breathe in,
Out.
Follow mommy’s direction.” She said to the boy,

“Breathe in,
Out,slowly,
Remember how mommy taught you?
Take it easy son,you’re going to be alright.” She was still in tears when she coaxed the boy,

“Andre please get me my bag.” She said to him,
Andre ran to the the hallway and got her bag,
“Here it is.” He handed the bag to her,
Gianna forcefully opened her bag and fished out another mini bag,
The size of a makeup kit.

When she opened the mini bag,Justin and Andre were surprised with it’s content.
Dozens of medications,
Inhalers,
Pills and syrups were packed inside the bag.

She took some few pills and medications,
“Get me a glass of water please.” She said to the butler,
The man left immediately and came back with a tray containing a glass jar,filled with water and an empty glass.
Coming beside her,he poured some water into the glass and gave it to her,

“Here you go Miss.”
Gianna took the glass from him and turned to Reid who was still trying to catch his breathe.
She took the boy’s head up,
And slowly slipped all the pills into his mouth,
Then placed the glass of water to his mouth so he could take a sip from the water.

Immediately the boy took the pills,
His breathing returned to normal and he became better again.
Seeing the boy’s breathe return to normal,Gianna slumped beside him,
Her eyes was still teary but she wasn’t frying any more.

“Mommy’s anything going to happen to little brother?” Justin asked guiltily,
She managed a grimace at the boy,
The worst is over.
“No,your brother is going to be fine,
He just need proper rest now.” She pulled the older boy closer and hugged him.

His little bother was sick because of him.
I shouldn’t have challenged him to that game,
Cause if I hadn’t,
Little brother won’t be sick.
I’m the one to blamed.

They were both playing and he was ahead from his brother with five points,
Seeing his brother isn’t a good player,
He decided to loosen up so his brother’s point can increase.

But suddenly he noticed his brother lying on the floor,
At first he thought his brother was tired and decided to rest but when he got closer,
He noticed that his brother wasn’t breathing properly.
Without wasting time,he raised his brother and ran back into the house to inform his parents.

“What really happened to him?” Andre who was lost finally asked,
“Asphyxiation.” She said,
Andre furrowed his brows,
“He was lacking oxygen, so he’d to hyperventilate to sustain the little he’d.” She explained to him,
Recalling the first time it happened to the boy,
How worried and scared she was that night.

“Has he always been this way?” He asked her,
She nodded,
“Reid had always been a sick child from birth,
Spent most of his early days at the hospital.
His heart isn’t strong,
And his body is fragile,
The doctor said his body can’t withstand a surgery,
So for the time being,
He has to take his medications properly and daily.” She explained to him.

Andre sat beside her,
“It must have been very hard for you right?”He asked her,
She nodded,
Taking care of Reid as that time was the most stressful thing she has ever done,
Juggling two jobs,school and taking care of her sick son.
It was a hell of a stress for her.

” Tell me about his childhood. “Andre said to her,
She sniffle twice and he stroke her cheek lovingly,
” Nothing much to tell,
Let’s take him to the room.” She said to him,

He nodded,
Then they both stood up,
Andre carried the boy and they all went upstairs.
She took the boy and lay him on the king size bed.

She wanted to leave when the boy took her hand,
“Mommy please don’t leave me.” He whispered to her,
She sat beside him and stroke his hair,

“Mommy tell me a story please.” The boy pleaded,
“Okay.” She adjusted his head to her laps,

“Once upon a time,there was a king who had a very beautiful daughter,
The daughter is very beautiful and her name was Sunshine.
The king took his daughter every where he went cause Sunshine spread happiness everywhere she went……….
….

She was still telling him the story,when Justin showed up,
Seeing his mommy tell his brother a story,
He walked inside the room.
His brother was asleep and his mommy was about to leave.

” Mommy continue with the story please. “The boy said,lying beside his brother.
” I want to hear the end of it.” He whispers, so as not to wake his brother up.
” Okay.”she said,

“One day Sunshine and her father were travelling when some robbers attacked them,
The King was separated from his daughter Sunshine and…………..
……..
She was still telling the story when she noticed the boy was already asleep.
She stood up and tiptoed out of the room,
Closing the door quietly.

When she turned to leave,
Andre crashed his lips to hers,
“Mind if we continued from where we stopped earlier.” He was already taking off her gown,
“Andre we’re outside the room please.” She said,
But Andre was not stopping,
He just want to claim his woman and he doesn’t where or when,
He just want to be in this woman.

“Andre let’s go inside the room please.” She pleaded,
“You sure you’re not going to stop me when we get inside?” He asked,
“Yes I won’t but let’s just go inside.” She said.
He scooped her up and took her inside the room.

“Anna,I want a daughter.” Andre whispered to her in their lovemaking session,
“I want you to give me a daughter.” He said to her,
“I don’t want to have one,
We already have two sons,
They’re okay for me..” She said,Andre frowned,
“I want you to give me a baby girl.” He said more sternly.

“It’ll ruin my career Andre,
No one knows about the boys and if I get pregnant now,
It’ll be a very scandalous for me.” She complained to him.

Andre stop thrusting but didn’t get off from her,
“Which is more important to you,
Your career or me?” He asked her,
“Do you want to make me choose?” She asked him,
He nodded,
“Andre let’s not do this now please,
We’ll talk about this later but not now please.” She said,

He frowned,
She doesn’t want to have a child because of her career,
Stupid career.

He was going to let all this aside,
But when he’s ready to talk about it,
She can’t run away from it.
She was going to give him a daughter whether she likes it or not.
She’s my woman and my daughter would come from her.

When Justin woke up,
He saw the blanket over him,
Before he slept,he hadn’t covered himself so was surprised on how the blanket was over him.

Who covered me up?
Immediately, Reid came out from bathroom,
“Did you cover me up?” He asked his younger brother,
“Yeah,
You were sleeping like a bag of potato,
So I’d to cover you up.
Plus do you always kick when you sleep?” He asked the boy,

Justin frowned,
“No I don’t.” Justin said,
“Yes you do.”
“No I don’t.”
“Yes,you were kicking the blanket and I woke with your leg on my face,
So you do kick when you sleep.” Reid said,

“Go take you shower,mommy said dinner’s served.” Reid informed,
“Okay,” the boy said taking off his shirt.
“You don’t have to do that here!” He shouted,

“But we’re brother,we should be free with each other.” Justin said innocently,
“Like this,” he rushed to Reid and took the towel he was wrapping himself with,leaving his brother naked.

“Wow,your thing’s so small.” He shouted taking out his cellphone and started taking photos of his brother while the latter tried as possible as he could to close his member,
So the boy won’t get a picture of his member.

“Stop taking photos please.” He cried but his older brother didn’t stop.

To be continued.

🍃CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN🍃

🌷”MAKE IT HAPPEN”🌷

Justin continue to take pictures of his brother while the younger boy covered his private part the best way he could to avoid his brother taking nude photos of him.

“Your private part is so small.”The older boy jested,
“It isn’t small,
Your is small not mine.” Reid defended his little member,
“Lies,mine is big like daddy’s,
Not as teeny weeny as yours.” He said still taking pictures of his brother,

“Prove it.” Reid said,
“How?” Justin asked him,
“Get off your clothes and let’s compare yours to mine,to see whose is bigger and whose is smaller.” He said.

“Okay.” Justin kept the phone and set out to take off his clothes,
Before he could move,
Reid pulled his pants down and dragged it from him,
Making the older boy fall on his butt.

Before the boy could react,
Reid had started taking pictures of him while he try to hide his member.
“Stop taking pictures.” He cried but Reid didn’t ,
Rather he continued taking the pictures, running around the room so his brother can’t get it,
“I thought you said yours is bigger than mine but what I’m seeing here’s like a five year old’s.” Reid retorted,

“Its a lie,mine is as big as daddy’s…..”
Immediately the door opened,
Gianna and Andre walked in to see both boys stark naked,
“What’s going on here,
And what’s big like daddy’s?” Andre asked,

Immediately they came in,the boy scurried to get their clothes but their parents were to fast to let them escape,
“What’s going on here and why are you both naked?” Gianna asked too,

Reid was first to speak up,
“Mommy,he started it.” He pointed to Justin,
Who frowned immediately,
“No you did!” Justin said to Reid,

“What did he start?” Gianna asked seeing the boys was shifting blames intentionally, so she can forget the main question.
“Mommy,” Reid began,
“He said his member is big like daddy’s while mine is very small.”
The boy was more of complaining than explaining.

Andre and Gianna gasped and looked at each other,
“But mommy is it true?” Reid asked,
“His his member big like daddy’s while mine is small?” He continued.
Gianna could reply the boy cause she was very embarrassed at the question.

Why not ask him directly,
Why ask me?
She said within herself.
“You should ask your daddy.” She told the boy and hurriedly left the room,
So as not to be asked stupid question by anyone.

Reid turned to Andre,
“Is it true?” The man shook his head and left the boys.
He turned to his brother Justin,
“You see daddy didn’t reply you cause he knows you’re lying.” He said,

“No,daddy didn’t reply cause he was surprised,
Now give me my phone back.” He said stretching his arms to take the phone back from Reid,
“Wait.”
Reid did something with the phone,
After which he smiled and gave his brother the phone back.

Justin went through the phone and was surprised that all the pictures he took of his brother were all gone.
“Where are all the pictures?” He asked Reid,
“Well,I deleted mine and sent your to My Cloud at home.” He said proudly,

” Why?” Justin asked feeling wrong,
“Because I won the game and daddy said mine is more than yours.” The boy said,
Justin felt he could just start crying,
“You’re so unfair little brother.” He said to his younger brother.

They were still talking when Justin noticed the gift box in Reid’s pocket,
He looked at it closer,
It was the same gift he’d given the boy the they went to their house.
Reid noticed his brother was looking at his pocket,
Then he brought out the gift.

It was still how it was only that the wrappings were becoming torn and old.
He had wanted to open the gift and see whatever was inside,
But he didn’t want to ruin the wrapping.
So,he’d kept it with him all the time,
Taking it out several to admire the wrappings.

“You don’t like it.” Justin said sadly as he saw his brother looking at the gift,
“I do like it,it’s just that…” Reid couldn’t tell his brother that the only reason he hadn’t opened the gift was because he felt he’ll ruin the beautiful wrappings,
If he opened it.

Reid was still looking at the wrapping like he’d done for the past few days,
When Justin forcefully took the gift from him,
“Hey give it back.” He said,
He knows his brother is hurt but he didn’t expect him to take back the gift.

“What?
Since you don’t like it what’s the use of keeping it,
I’ll help you dispose it.” He said sadly,
His brother had rejected his gift.

Reid ran over and struggled to get it back,
“Give it back!
Give it back!” He cried as he hovered around his brother who raised his hand up so Reid can’t get the gift back.
Seeing his brother won’t allow him get it,
He ticked his underarms,
Immediately the boy gave back the gift to Reid.

“Here you go bit open it now.” He said,
Reid took back the gift from him,
“Thank you.” He muttered to him,
Justin smiled,
This is the first time his little brother is thanking him and being very nice to him.

Reid slowly opened the gift,
It was a lucky bracelet.
He looked at his brother and smiled,
“It’s very beautiful.” He said,Justin nodded and replied,
“Just like mine.”
Reid looked at his brother’s right wrist and saw that the boy was wearing a replica of the lucky bracelet.

“Don’t ever take it off okay.” He said to Reid as he helped him put on the bracelet.
“Yes,I’ll never ever take it off.” He said as a matter of fact.
“Okay,let’s get dressed and go down before mommy comes in here and scold us.” Justin said to him,
“Mommy won’t scold me,I am her little one.” Reid said confidently,
“How sure are you?” Justin asked,picking up the clothes on the floor.

“I’m a hundred and ten percent sure.” Reid replied.
Since he’d had his shower,
He waited for his brother to take his before they went out of the room for dinner.

The meeting with Aleksandr shocked Jasmine,
She had been so careful so far but never knew someone had been tailing her and monitoring her movement.
She kept pondering on what the man told her.

That if she help him,he’s going to reward her with wealth she can’t never unfold.
He was going to make her rich and powerful and not to rely on grandfather…

Grandfather,
He’s the only man that had cared for her,
He had showed her love and care she hadn’t received from anyone,
Not even her biological parent which she don’t even know.
He might be ruthless to the world but to her,he’s the most understanding and caring man ever and had a great deal of trust for her.

But Uncle Aleksandr had warmed her that the man was just being so because of he believes she’s Katerina’s daughter.
If he find out she isn’t,
He might kill her like he did to Katerina.
She’s just enjoying the man’s grace and love because of her lie.

What if he never finds out?
She can continue to pretend she’s Katerina’s daughter and thing will go like they’ve always gone.
She’ll be the Mistress of the family,
No one can’t take her place.

She’ll protect……
No,
No lie can last forever,
Even if she doesn’t get bursted now,she’ll get bursted sooner or later.
And as for Andre,he was a hard target.
Even if the grandfather forces him to marry her,
He’ll never accept her as his wife.

Not as long as Gianna and her other son are around.
Andre will always find a way to bring her into the house and make her the Mistress she was entitled to.
She had to choose now,

Either helping Uncle Aleksandr and get the future she want but without Andre
Or
Staying back to continue her lie,still not getting Andre,
It’s a win lose situation.
She can never be with Andre,
So its better she stand with the one she has hope than stay hopeless with Andre.

She was still thinking when her phone rang again,
It was Uncle Aleksandr,
She accepted the call and closed her door,so no one can eavesdrop on her conversation.
“Have you started what I told you to?” He asked in his masculine deep voice,
He meant have she started feeing his father the poison,
“No,I haven’t.” She replied,
She’s still finding it hard to hurt the old man or betray him.

“Why?” The man yelled,
Right through the phone,she got terrified of him,
Why does each one of them have this common terrifying aura?
From the smallest to the mightiest,
They all possess the same terrifying aura.

“Why haven’t you started giving him the poison?” He asked her again,
“I’ll start from today.” She manage to stammer,
“You better do cause you won’t like to see me angry with you.” He said,
Before she could say another word,
He hung up on her.

What mes had I gotten myself into now?
First,she’d Aaron to deal with and now this man.
Her phone rang again,
First she thought it was the man and had refused to take the call,
But when it rang again,
She checked the caller’s ID,
It was Aaron.

Speak of the devil and you here from him,
She accepted the call,
“Hello Jasmine.” His dainty voice came through the phone,
“What’s it again Aaron?
I thought I’d asked you to stop calling me.”
She said to him,venting her anger possibly on him.

“Let’s meet now,” He said,
“Baronet View.” He said,
Jasmine frowned,
“I don’t want to meet up with you.” She said resentfully,
“Then have me come to your house and spill out your secrets.” He threatened.

She froze on spot,
Why does everyone blackmail her to get what they want?
First it was Andre’s uncle,
Now it’s Aaron,his manager.
Everything pertaining to Andre’s a disaster to me.

“Okay,I’m on my way now.” She said,
Immediately, she lazily got out of the bed,took her keys,
Now she was going to go alone,
No driver,
In fact,she wasn’t going to use the family’s car,
She was going to take a cab.

She snuck out of the house and hailed a cab taking her to Baronet View.
Baronet View was more of like a higher ground,
It’s called Baronet View cause staying there,
One has a greater view to the whole city,
People do go there for sightseeing also.

Aaron was already there when Jasmine came,
She didn’t show any sign of formality when she came,
She just went straight to the point,
“Why did you call me here?” She asked him with a big frown on her face,
Making it obvious she doesn’t want to talk to him.

“I called you here so we can talk about our future.” He said,
Jasmine frowned,
“There’s no future with me and you,
I can’t leave Andre for you Aaron.” Sh blurted,
“Jasmine,I’m taking you and my child far away from here okay,
You can as well forget about Andre cause he’s not going to father my child.” He retorted getting sick of her overbearing attitude.
“No,I’m not going with you.” She turned to leave but Aaron grabbed her hands and pulled her back,

You’re going with me whether you like it or…..”
A gunshot interrupted him,
Jasmine got shocked as she saw Aaron fall to the ground lifelessly,
She looked behind and saw a man in black hood leave the place,
She wouldn’t want to get tangled in the murder case,
So she took to her heels and ran away.
Immediately she hailed a cab and got inside.
An unknown number called her,
She frightened,
Accepting the call,
An unfamiliar male voice boomed,
“How do you like my surprise?”
Jasmine shrunk with fear.

To be continued.

🍀THE BILLIONAIRE’S SURROGATE🍀

🍃CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT🍃

🌷”REID’S IN TROUBLE AGAIN.”🌷

“Who’re you?” Jasmine asked the caller in fear,
“I’m your shadow Jasmine,you can’t hide from me.” The male voice said,
“Did you kill him?” She asked the caller,
She had watched Aaron fall on the floor,
It really scared her a lot.

“I did what you should have done since,
Letting him live is like letting an enemy live.
He was going to expose you,
So I’d to eliminate him.” The man said to her,
“So you better be careful.” He said and hung up immediately.

Is this man one of Uncle Aleksandr’s agent?
Did he send this man?
How did they know I was going to see Aaron?
She was shocked and checked her phone to see if there’s any bud or chips or even a voice recording device,
But she found nothing.

“Gosh,I’m in deep shit.
This man killed Aaron cause he was a block road to his plan,
If I act stupid, he wouldn’t hesitate to get rid of me too.” This realisation scared her to hell.

” Little brother,I’m bored.” Justin said to Reid who was teaching him mathematical sums,
“Bored?
But we aren’t done yet.” Reid said to the boy,
“Let’s do something else please,I’m tired of studying.” He complained,

“What do you want us to do?” Reid asked him,finally keeping his book on the desk,
“I don’t know,
Daddy had taken all our gadgets,
Saying it’s a no device week for us.” He said.
Then an idea stuck Reid,

Their parents had left the two of them and went into the room,locking the door from the inside,
The Butler was busy preparing lunch,
The two handmaids were no where to be seen,
Just himself and his brother,

“Big brother,” He called,Justin turned to him
“Let’s go play by the seaside.” Reid suggested,
Justin frowned,
“Daddy had asked us not to leave the house remember.” He warned,
Andre had warned them sternly about going outside,before he went inside with Gianna,

They can play anywhere else but the seaside is out of their reach.
On no condition were they permitted to go there.
“Not to worry,daddy’s busy with mommy inside,
We’ll be back before they know it.” He assured.

Reid might be the youngest but he sure has more matured mind and always control his older brother.
Justin was more preserved when it comes to his younger brother.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” He said,

What if something happens to them out there,
He might escape but his younger brother might not be able to escape.
His brother is very sickly, he won’t want his health to worsen because of him.

“You scared?
Stop being scared nothing’s going to happen okay,
We’ll get back here before they find out we’re went out.” He assured,
Justin wasn’t convinced but he wanted to make his brother happy,
“Okay,let’s go,
Were just spending thirty minutes that’s all.” Hr said,
Reid nodded,
“Thirty minutes.”
With this the two boy tiptoed out of the mansion without anyone seeing them.

On the way to the seaside,
The boys took a tour around the whole Island.
Going from one place to another chatting on the way.
It was serene and very lovely sight to see,
“Do you know that daddy’s so stupid?” Reid asked Justin,
The older boy frowned,

His daddy isn’t stupid,
Most times, he’s very hard to please and very strict but he’s far from stupid.
“Why do you say so?” He asked his brother,
“Because he’s.
Imagine him staying with mommy in a locked room since morning and he expects us to sit and learn mathematical sums when there’s a whole lot to see out here.” He said to the boy,

“Well it’s true though,
It’s a beautiful sight out here,
Wonder how daddy found it?” He said,
“He’s a big estate developer,so this sought of places aren’t hard for him to see.” Reid said to him.

“We’ve only twenty minutes left now,
Let’s go to the seaside before it’s time up.”Justin reminded his younger brother,
“Let’s race there.” Reid said,
Before Justin could agree to it,
Reid raced ahead of him to the seaside.

“You cheated.” Justin complained as they got to the seaside,
Reid was squatting in front of him,
Laughing mischievously.
“Yeah but I won,
I got here first.” The boy said proudly,

Justin ran past the boy,
“Reid come see this.
There are lot of seashells here.” Justin bent down and started picking up the shell from the sand.
Most of the shell wash up to the shore as the waves came hitting hard.

Reid walked closer to the shore,
“Don’t get too close to the waves brother,
It might take you away with it.” Justin warned,
“No worries brother,
I won’t get too close.” He said,

Justin ran to the rocky side to catch a live crab,
After getting the crab,he turned back to the seaside.
But when he turned,
He didn’t see Reid anywhere close by,
Where’d he gone to?

“Reid!” He called loudly,
No reply,
Fear began surge up in him,
“Reid!” He called again but still no reply.
He ran to the shore and looked around,still no sign of the boy,

“Reeeeiiiiiiidddddd!” He called again but still no reply.
Gosh,I’m in trouble.
“Reid please come out!” He called again but still no reply.

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him back to the house,
“Mommy!
Mommy!
Daddy!” He cried as he got to the house.

Andre who was in his room with Gianna heard the boy’s cries and ran outside the room,
“What happened Justin?
Where your brother?” Andre asked,

“Mommy,daddy, Reid’s missing.” He said crying,
“What!” Gianna cried,
“Where did…..
Take me there please.” Andre said to the boy,

Immediately they got to his Beach Bike and drove with all speed to the seaside.
“Reid!” Gianna called,
No reply,
“Reid!
Reid!!
Reid!!!”
They called in simultaneously,
But still no reply.

“Where did you see him last?” Gianna asked the older son,
“He was here,” He pointed to the shore,
“I went up there to get something but when I came back here,I didn’t see him again.” He explained,

“Why did you guys leave the house Justin?” Andre asked angrily,
“I thought I’d asked you not to leave the house,
Why did you leave?” Andre scolded,
The older boy began to cry,
“Daddy I’m sorry.” He cried.

“Andre,I can’t find Reid anywhere,
What if something happened to him?” She was crying,
“Anna,he’s going to be fine okay,
Reid’s a strong child.”
He took her hands and they climbed to the rock,
“Reid!” She called again.

“Mommy!” A child’s faint cry was heard,
Gianna recognized it immediately to be the boy’s voice.
“Reid!” She called again,
“Mommy!
Mommy I’m scared.” The faint voice cried.

“Andre I can hear Reid’s voice somewhere.” She took Andre’s hand and led him to the higher part of the rock,
“Reid!” Andre called,
“Daddy!” The faint voice cried again,
“Son,where are you?” Andre asked loudly,

“Daddy,I’m scared.” He cried,
“Son where are you?” He asked again,
“Daddy,I’m under the rock,
It’s slippy down here.” He cried,
“Where?” Andre asked as he got to the edge of the rock.
“Daddy help me please.” He cried,

Unknowingly to Andre,the boy was directly under him,
So when he kicked the pebble in front of him,it fell directly on Reid’s head,
Causing the boy to lose balance,
Immediately his hands slipped from the shooting rock he was holding and he fell into the water.

“Daddy!” He called as he gulped for air,
“Andre something’s wrong somewhere,
Something just fell into the water.” Gianna said,
“No it’s the……..”
“Daddy,Reid’s in the water.” Justin said,

He didn’t go up with his parents,
So had been so fortunate to notice that something was moving in the water,
“Daddy,Reid’s in water.” He called again.

Immediately, Andre jumped into the water from the top of the rock,
He dived in and got the boy who was almost out of oxygen.
Reid wasn’t a swimmer,so he couldn’t get his balance in the water.
Andre took hold of the boy’s frail body and swam out of the water to the shore.

Gianna rushed to him and took the now unconscious boy from Andre.
“Reid!” She called the boy as she lay him on the ground and began to press his chest.
The boy still wasn’t gaining consciousness,

Andre moved over,
He bent his head and did a mouth to mouth resuscitation on the boy.
Immediately he did,the boy began to cough out water from his lungs.
“Reid,” Gianna ran to the boy and hugged him,

While Justin stood by the side,filled with guilt and sadness,
He continued to blame himself for what happened.
If he’d watched over his brother well,
His brother would have fall into the water.
He’s so irresponsible and careless.

“Reid what happened to you?
How did you get down there?” Gianna asked, still having the boy in her embrace.
“Mommy…….”
“Anna,let’s take him home,
His clothes are wet and he might catch a cold too.” Andre took the boy from her,
Whilst,she took Justin’s hand and they all drove home in his Beach Bike.

When they got home, she asked the Butler to prepare hot chicken soup for the boys while Andre took Reid upstairs to get him off the wet clothes.
“No, I want mommy to bathe me.” The boy cried as Andre took him upstairs,
“Reid be a good boy and allow mommy rest,she’s tired from having to cry all afternoon.” Andre said to the boy.

“Justin you go upstairs too and get a shower,
Tell your daddy to make sure the water’s warm enough,so you won’t get cold.” She said to Justin.
Immediately the older boy went upstairs to shower with his brother.
Gianna was tired and tensed,
What if something worst had happened to the boys?
She blamed herself though,
It was her carelessness,
If she had watched over the boys,
They wouldn’t have left the house and go to the seaside.

After bathing both boys,
Andre got them into some new clothes and made them lie on the bed,
“Now back to you both,
” Why did you guys leave the house when I’d warned you not to leave the house? “He asked them,
There was anger in his eyes as he spoke and only Justin know the consequences of making him this angry.
Reid for one had never been scared of his father and had loved to challenge him on any given chance,
But now with the anger in the man’s eyes,
He couldn’t help but get scared.

“Daddy,I’m sorry,
It was my fault.” Justin spoke up immediately,
He fears his father’s wrath.
“No it was me,
I’d forced big brother to take me to the seaside.” Reid defended his brother,

“Why couldn’t you stop him?
You know he isn’t well and strong still you left home with him.” He scolded Justin,
Reid felt bad seeing his older brother get scolded instead of him.
“Daddy it was me not him.” He said louder,
But Andre paid no attention to him.

“You can’t take care of your younger brother,
You should get punished for this act of negligence.”
Immediately he said that Justin froze,
“Daddy,I’m sorry.” He muttered,
“No,you should be more careful next time,
Now get up and follow me.” He said.

Justin stood up immediately while Reid got up too and pleaded with him,
“Daddy,big brother did nothing wrong,
I caused everything.”
“You go back to the bed now.” He ordered Reid,
Instead of going back to the room,
Reid ran downstairs to look for his mommy.

“Mommy!” He called as he climbed down the stair,
“Mommy come help big brother,
Daddy want to punish him.” He cried,
Immediately Gianna ran out from the kitchen side,
“Reid what’s it?” She asked the boy,
“Mommy,daddy wants to punish big brother.” He said,
“What?”

To be continued.

🍃CHAPTER FORTY- NINE🍃

🌷”SOMEONE PUSHED ME”🌷

“What?” Gianna said,
“Yes mommy,daddy wants to punish big brother for not watching….” Gianna stood up and took the boys hands,
“Show me where he took him to.”

Immediately, Reid led her upstairs to the room he’d seen his daddy enter with his older brother.
Gianna opened the door and saw Andre sitting on the couch while Justin was doing some press up on the floor,

The room was a gym room and was equipped with so many body fitness,gym and sporting apparatus and devices.
She walked to the boy who was sweating profusely and held him up.
“Justin get back to what you were doing.” Andre said from the couch,

Gianna was now angry,
How can he punish the boy like this?
She took the boy up,
” Justin take your brother and go to your room.” She said,
The boy didn’t move and she couldn’t blame him.

From the couch,the terrifying aura which emits from the man was enough to make anyone tremble including her,
But she gathered every necessary courage and walked to the man.

“Andre let the boy go,
You don’t have to punish him so harshly,
Justin’s still a kid.” She said nicely but Andre flared up,
“A kid?
A kid that can’t take care of his younger brother,
His twin brother.
A kid at eight!.” He said angrily,

Justin still haven’t left the spot Gianna had left him.
In fact he was glued to the spot.
“He’s still a kid no matter what,
And what happened was a…….”

“An act of negligence.
I asked him not to leave the house,
I made it clear to him the seaside was out of bound to them but still he disobeyed me and took his brother there.” Andre said,

“Daddy,I forced big brother to take me there,
It wasn’t not his fault.” Reid said at the rear corner of the door,
“Reid go to your room now.” He ordered,
The boy didn’t leave.
He was going to set his big brother free whether his daddy likes it or not.

He went to where his brother was standing,
“Big brother,let’s go to our room,
Mommy will not allow daddy punish you again.’ He took the boy’s hand and began to drag him outside.

“Andre stop being hard on the boy,
It was just a mistake and we should be happy we went there on time to get Reid.” She said to him.
Andre didn’t stop looking at her or even stood up,
He only looked at Justin,
“You should thank your stars your mommy came to get you,
You would have completed your hundred press ups today.” He said to the boy,

“Now take your brother to your room and make sure you don’t get into any trouble or get your brother into one.” He warned,
The boy slowly walked out of the room with Reid.
Immediately the boys left,
And she was sure they were out of ear shot,
Gianna fired at Andre.

“Andre why did you have to punish Justin?” She asked him angrily,
His lips curved into a smiled as he saw how feisty she became all of a sudden.
She has a very special effect on him when she’s angry or being feisty,
“Anna he needed discipline and I had to do that.” He mouthed,

Gianna frowned,
She wasn’t against him disciplining the boy but she was against him giving the boy a harsh punishment like what he did today.
“Discipline?
What does discipline mean to you Andre?” She asked him angrily,
Raising her voice.

Andre frowned,
“Anna,
Stop raising your voice.” He said,
“Andre stop being hard on Justin please,
He’s just a kid.” She walked away from the room,
Leaving him dumbfounded,

Did she just walked out on me?
He asked himself as she slammed the door behind her.

Gianna walked into the boy’s room,
Reid was apologising to Justin for what happened,
“Big brother,I’m so sorry I got you into trouble today.” He apologized,
“No,I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you from danger.” Justin said,

Watching both her sons getting along so well,
Her heart melt,
This was what she wanted for so long,
To see both her kids get along well,
Defend and fight for each other.

She got in and sat beside them,
“Justin,so sorry for what daddy did to you today.” She said to the boy.
She turned to Reid,
“Reid,can you tell mommy how you got there?” She asked him,

The boy couldn’t tell her the truth,so he lied,
“Mommy, I’m sorry I caused all this.” It was actually my carelessness that took me down there. “He replied her.
“I slipped from the rock and fell down.” He continued.

“You just have to be more careful,you both
Now stay up here,
I’ll send your soups upstairs soon.” She kissed both boy’s cheeks and left the room.

Immediately she left,
Reid turned to his older brother,
“Big brother,” He called,
Justin turn to him,
“What’s it little brother?” He asked him,

“Someone pushed me from the rocks.”
Immediately he said this,Justin froze,
“What?” He almost yelled but Reid forcefully closed his mouth with his palms.
“You don’t have to shout,
Keep it down,mommy might hear you.” He scolded,
Justin nodded and he gently removed his palms from his brother’s mouth .

“What did you just say?” Justin asked,
“Yes you heard me right,
Someone pushed me off the rock.” He repeated,
Justin gasped.

“Did you see the person who pushed you?” He asked Reid,
The boy shook his head.
“I’d gone up to see the water from the top of the rock but while there,
I felt someone right behind me.
At first I thought it was you,
But when I turned to see who that was,
The person pushed me before I could get a glimpse of his or her face.” He explained,

Justin had to bite his lower lip to avoid shouting,
“Who would do something as outrageous as that?” He asked,
“That’s what we need to find out together.” Reid said,
“How do we go about that?” Justin asked his brother
He’d never been in a situation like this before,so doesn’t know how to go about it.

“Here,there’s only me,you,mommy,daddy,Mr Butler and those two maids right?” Reid asked,
His brother nodded,
“Now you should know that mommy and daddy are not in our suspect list,
Now it’s revolving around the Butler and those maids,
Amongst them is the one who pushed me.” He said.

“We’ve to tell daddy first.” Justin suggested,
“Daddy might help us catch the bad person.” He added,
“No,
I don’t want to get either mommy or daddy involved now,
We can only tell daddy when we’ve caught the bad person.” Reid said to him,
Justin nodded.

Who’s the bad guy that wants to get his brother killed?

Gianna had just finished helping the Butler to prepare the boys chicken soup and lunch when she saw one of the maids rushed inside the house.
The girl was in a rush she bumped into Gianna and the hot soup spilled,
Most of them spilling on Gianna.
“Aargh!” She cried,

“Ma’am, I’m very sorry.” The woman apologized immediately,
Gianna was so much in pain she didn’t reply the woman’s plea.
The Butler rushed out hearing Gianna’s scream and was surprised to see her on the floor.
He rushed to her,
“Ma’am what happened?” He asked her kneeling beside her to see what had happened to her.
“Ma’am I’m sorry.” The maid continue to apologize.

Andre was in the sporting room when he heard Gianna’s scream downstairs,
He got his clothes back on and rushed outside,
Only to see Gianna groaning in pain,his Butler and a maid beside her,
He rushed downstairs immediately,
“What happened here?” He asked taking Gianna up from the floor.

No one replied,
He took her to the sofa and lay her there,
“Gianna what happened to you?” He asked her again,
The butler came back to the living room with a bottle of ointment.
“Sir apply this to the affected areas to avoid them from swelling.” He gave the ointment to Andre who took it and began to apply it to the affected areas,
Her thighs and her arms.

“How did this happen?” He asked the Butler,
“Sir,Valora had accidentally bumped to ma’am and the soup meant for the boys spilled on her.” The man said immediately to avoid Andres wrath,

“What?” He yelled,
“Valora!” He called,
“Andre,it was an accident and she said sorry already.” Gianna pouted,
“Valora!” He called again,
Gianna grabbed his collar,
“Andre please don’t do this again,
She said sorry and it was an accident.” She pleaded,

He trailed his hands to her thigh to apply the ointment where the hot soup had scalded her,
Then whispered to her ear,
“Would you mind to pleasure me when I’m done with you or else,
I’ll punish her for pouring the hot soup on you.”

She bit her lower lip from embarrassment,
“Do you know what you’re doing to me when you do that?” He asked,
She looked down in shame but her eyes coincides with the bulge in his pants,

“That’s the effect of you being around me.” He said to her,
“Andre I’m tired please.” She said but no,
He grabbed her breast and whispered,
“Let’s go upstairs,I’m starving.” He scooped her upstairs even with her objection.

“It’s done Miss, I’ve laced the poison in her body,
It’ll begin to react in a few days from now.” Valora said to someone on the phone,
“That’s good,
Job well done,
Let’s wait for the second phase of the plan.” The caller,a lady said.
“Yeah,I’ll call you back later.” Valora said and hung up checking the whole place to know whether someone had overheard her conversation.
When she saw no one around,
She dipped her cell into her pocket then left the place.

To be continued.

🍃CHAPTER FIFTY🍃

🌷”KNOWING THE CULPRIT.”🌷

Reid and Justin continued monitoring all the workers in the house to know who the real culprit is,
Two days past after the the incidence,
Still no clue on who the culprit is.

“Did you find anything?” Justin asked Reid as he came into their room,
“Nah,
Everyone is behaving normal like nothing had happen.” Reid said in a very frustrating tone,
He slumped on the bed,
“I wish I was at home..”
“If we’d been at home and something like this happens,
It won’t take me long to fish out the culprit.” He said,

Justin interest rose,
“How did you do it?” He asked his younger brother out of curiosity.
Reid leaned to him,
“Make sure no one find out bout this part from the both of us,” he whispered to his brother,

Justin nodded and even crossed his heart,
“I won’t tell a word of what you’re going to tell me to another person.”He promised,
“Okay,”
“I have an agent,Mr Lee,
He helps me catch bad people,
Bad people that tries to hurt mommy or myself and I pay him to deal with them.” He said,

“How do you pay him?” Justin asked,
Where’s this little brother of mine going to get the money to pay an Agent?
It’s impossible.
“Well, its like you don’t know me so well,
”
He rushed to his bag and brought out a file bag,
Then handed it to his brother,
“Open it.”

Immediately, Justin opened the file bag and began to empty it,
Bank cards,
Checkbooks,
Credit Cards and even a Black Card,
All with the boy’s name engraved on them.

“Wow, where did you get all this?” Justin asked his brother,
He was shocked cause even himself,
He doesn’t have a Black Card,
His father has two but and had told him that Black Cards aren’t meant for kids.

So how come does his brother possesses one?

“They’re all mine.” Reid said proudly,
“Can you lend me some money when we get back home?” He asked,
“Big brother,you don’t to worry about money,
My money’s your too.” Reid packed back the cards and checkbook into the file bag and went to keep them.

“Now the only thing we need now,
Is a cellphone,
So I can contact my agent and inform him of what happened.” He said,
“Maybe we can ask the Butler to lend us his phone.” Justin suggested casually but Reid hit his head,

“No we can’t!” He yelled softly,
“If we asked anyone for their phone,
They might report the both of us to daddy and he’ll punish us again,
So we’ve to steal their phone.” He said,

“Steal!” Justin gasped,
“No we can’t steal.” He said,
“If we get caught,we’ll get into bigger trouble too.” He said to Reid to dishearten him,
But Reid was more persistent than him,

“If you can’t steal it,
I can but you just have to watch my back for me and make sure I don’t get caught.” He warned,
“But stealing’s bad.” Justin complained,
All his life,he hadn’t have to steal or take something from anyone,
He just had to ask for it and get it.

His father had warned him sternly against taking what isn’t his,
But now,
This younger brother of his is giving him another lesson.

“We aren’t stealing it,
We’re just taking it to use it then,keep it back.” He said,
With an air of being right.
“So which one of them are we taking the phone from?” Justin asked,
He has a bad feeling about this but he’d to do it for his brother.

“The Butler’s always in the kitchen and daddy won’t allow us go there,
So we’ll take the phone from the maid that comes to clean our room today.” He said,
“What’s her name again?” Justin asked,
“I heard mommy calling her Valora the other day.” He said,
“So we’re stealing Valora’s cellphone?” Justin asked,

Reid felt very irritated at his brother’s silly questions,
“I just told you that we’re just taking her cellphone and you’re still here talking about stealing it.” He seethed,
“Whatever.”

Later that day,Valora came to the boy’s room to clean it up,
The boys waited till she saw super immense with her duty,
Reid snuck behind her and took her cellphone,
She was so busy she didn’t notice the phone being slipped from her bag.

Immediately they took the phone and ran outside the room to place a call to Agent Lee,
“Is it on pass code?” Justin asked,
“No,
“She just took a call now,
So it’s still open.” Reid said,

A message popped in,
Reid wanted to read the message but Justin stopped him immediately,
“What are you trying to do?” Justin asked stopping him,
“I just want to see the message,that’s all.” Reid said,

“No!”Justin took his brother’s hand forcefully,
“Stop!”
“You just can’t go into someone else’s phone and go through the person’s messages.” Justin scolded,
“Let me just see it.” He persisted,
He pushed Justin’s hands away and pressed the open button.

‘Has the reaction began?’
‘The reaction should have started by now and it’ll fun to see Gianna in pain.’

“Justin you need to see this.” He dragged his brother closer and showed him the message,
“What?” Justin yelled,
“She’s helping someone to hurt mommy.” Reid said with great surprise,

“Is there still more?” Justin asked,
Reid scrolled down to the message app and continued to check for more messages pertaining to this plan.

Another message came in,
“Another one,” Reid said,
Justin popped his head to see the new message,
‘You should make sure you lace more of the powder in her cream again to make it more effective.’

“Valora is a bad person,she tried to hurt you and she wants to hurt mommy too,
We’ve to do something to stop her before she hurt mommy.” Justin stood up immediately,
“We’ve to tell mommy and daddy about this.” He said,
Immediately they turned to leave,
Valora was standing by the door,

“What are you boys doing? She asked them,
Both boys gasped,
“We want to go meet our parents,they said in unison,
” To do what,your mommy’s busy.” She said,
Both boys frowned,
“I want to see mommy,
I want to stay with her.” Reid ordered,

“Little imps,
Those tricks don’t work on me.” She said smiling evilly,
” Do you know who I am?” Reid was vexed,
“I don’t want to know.” She slammed the door and locked it from outside,
Trapping both boys inside the room.

“Open the door!” Reid shouted,
They continued banging the door so hard,
But no one was close enough to hear them.
Gianna was busy with Andre inside and didn’t know what was going on outside the room.

“Big brother,we need to find away to get out of here before she hurts mommy.” Justin said to Reid,
“How can we get out,she locked the door from the outside?”
Reid was thinking hard,
They need to get out to help their mommy but now the devil Valora had locked them inside the room.

Andre had just finished having a shower,
He was with Gianna since morning and they’d asked the boys to go into their room.
Though Gianna had been complaining that she wants to go stay with the boys,
Ever since they came to Andre’s Beach House,
She hadn’t spent enough time with the boys.

Andre always made her stay with him and each time they end up making love.
Her routine for the day is always the same,
Waking up,making love to Andre,
Shower n’ sex,Breakfast n’ sex,
Everything she does with Andre,they ended up making love and honestly,
She was very scored and needed a good rest but Andre isn’t giving her space.
He’s always clinging to her.

So when she saw he’d gone to shower,
She tiptoed out of the room and went to the boy’s room.
But they weren’t there,
“Reid!” She called out as she walked down the stairs,
“Justin!
Where are you guys?” She asked with her voice echoing in the silent house.

Where had they gone to
She asked herself as they went into the kitchen to see the Butler,
Whipping some vanilla cream.
“Have you seen the boys?” She asked the man,
He turned immediately and shook his head.
“Never seen them all morning.” He replied.

“They might be at outside,
The swimming pool or the game net.” He said to her,
Gianna nodded and went outside,
Still no sign of the boy anywhere.

She came back inside,
“Anna.” She turned and saw Andre sitting on the antique sofa,
“Andre did you by any chance see the boys?” She asked,
“No,they might be up in their room.” He said,
A bad feeling crept into her,
“No,they weren’t there when I went awhile ago to check on them.” She argued,

“Justin!
Reid!
Justin!!” Andre called loudly,
No replies from the boys.
“Andre,I’m having a bad feeling,
What if something happens to the boys?” Gianna said in a choking voice.

He rushed upstairs,
“Justin!
Reid!”
No reply,
“Valora!
“Grace!” He called,

The two maids ran out,
“Sir,you called?”
“Where are my sons?” He asked,
“Sir,
They were both in their room when I left there awhile ago.”Valora spoke up immediately,

“When did you leave their room?” Andre asked,
Valora rubbed her temples to think,
“It’s been over thirty minutes now Sir.” She said,
“Search the whole house,
They must be some where in here.” He said and they began to search the rooms in the first floor.

To be continued.
