Chapter 92_ I like you 2
Olivia felt Damien’s arm around her tightened a bit, the glare between the two men was getting intense especially Damien…Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I thought I told you to stay away.. what do you want this time?” She asked with a raised brow, their deal died a month ago after she had blatantly rejected him at the restaurant where they had a blind date set up by her mum..
But he was too adamant to stay away from her despite all her cold attitude towards him..
Jacob took a step forward to her but Damien’s hand reached out to his chest pushing him back gently until he was at least a few feet away from Olivia..
“Stay away from our affair Mr Sterling.. this has nothing to do with you..” Jacob warned sternly..
“It has everything to do with me as far as my fiancee is concerned…”
Olivia’s eyes went wide, wasn’t that supposed to be a secret between them until everything was soughted out?
“Fiancee?” he asked in between a chuckle before speaking again.. “I know the likes of you very well Mr Sterling.. claiming that she’s your fiancee when what you really have in mind is to make her warm your lonely bed and also take her kid away from her!”
“Damien!”
Olivia called out his name after he punched Jacob straight in the face, the latter fell on their lunch table crashing into the plates and glass..
Jacob strotted up to his feet once more staggering a bit, he wiped the red liquid that stained his lips with his thumb..
“I like you a lot Olivia! why don’t you see that this man standing next to you only want Kelvin’s custody and nothing more! please trust me on this one”
“I’d get going now” She muttered walking to the chair, she picked up her purse and made her way out of the diner..
Damien picked up his suit jacket resting on the chair he had previously occupied before Jacob’s uncalled interruption..
He turned to look at the latter once more and in a low authoritative tone he grunted “Stay away from her!”

Bianca hands held the hand wash bowl as she rinsed her face gently, she had rushed straight to the bathroom right after she tasted that dumb chilli soup she made for Xander..
Who knew that the tables would eventually turn on her? that crook almost made her see her end today..
It was horrible! she wondered how he managed to take two spoons out of that man made disaster..
“Honey are you alright in there?”
Cassie’s worried voice came as she knocked on the door several times, it’s been a while since she ran out of the dining to throw up..
“I’m good” she managed to mumble..
“Alright..”
Few minutes ticked by, she turned to the door when she heard it opening, her brows furrowed in anger..
“You!”
Xander smirked, he rested on his side against the corridor staring at her crumpled face, definitely a good sight..
He pulled out his phone and took a quick shot of her..
“What are you doing up in my room? haven’t you done enough?”
“It’s funny how your mum sees me as the best guy for her daughter, whereas you’re just trying to push me away.. not every girl has this chance like you do.. why don’t you just seize it?”
Bianca heaved a deep breath trying hard not to be madder than this, she turned the faucet off with a little more force than normal…
“My mum and aunt are the same, they don’t really know the difference between a good guy and a nuisance”
She walked out of her bathroom pulling him along with her, once they were out, she pointed to the slightly ajar door..
“You can leave now..”
“You started this, why are you making it seem like I’m the bad guy?”
She snapped her head to him sharply “Of course you are! if I hadn’t known you, I wouldn’t have tried to make a killer soup that almost took my life!”
Xander erupted in laughter which left the latter confused, she didn’t find this funny, so what if she was the one who made the soup? she was only trying to chase him off her tail and unfortunately, she had a taste of her own medicine..
The room fell quiet once more as Xander’s laughter died down, his face turned serious as he stared down at her..
“I don’t really know what you do to me every time Bianca.. you’re just so different and-
“How many girls have you read that line to so far? I think that line feels familiar.. like a movie scene or something, try to be original.. maybe just then I might notice you” She scorned with an ear to ear devilish grin..
However in the next second she crashed into his opened arms after he pulled her in, he placed a finger under her chin..
His blue eyes sparkled in a different light sending weird waves down her body..
“You want originality right? then I’ll grant you your wish princess” he husky deep voice resounded in her ears..
She was still trying to get what he meant by that until, he dipped his head down and locked his lips with hers..
Time froze, her body went limp, she wasn’t expecting such a bold move from him..
Xander held her nape sucking on her lower and upper lips simultaneously, he pressed her more closer to himself for a gasp to escape her throat..
He got the opportunity to pry into her mouth, meanwhile Bianca got weak in her knees but luckily for her, his arm on her waist supported her from falling..
The door they were backing creaked open slowly gaining their attention in a second, Xander pulled away from Bianca and snapped his gaze to the door where Cassie stood with her palm over Kelvin’s eyes..
“Oops”

Alexa slumped on the couch tiredly, her breath was heavy like she just ran a marathon, only one day out of three hundred and fifty five days..
And she was getting tired of living like an ordinary peasant, her brows furrowed when the familiar sound of male boot reached her ears..
She grumbled beneath her breath, she just spent the last five hours cleaning this place up while Hardin just sat lazily giving orders..
It wasn’t their business if her apartment was clean or not for crying out loud!
But no! they wanted to torture her so much, she had a feeling this had something to do with her brother..
“I believe my mission here is done..”
Alexa sat up from the couch, she craned her neck to stare at his figure moving towards the door, her tummy made a grumbling sound, a cry of hunger..
“Umm.. stop there!” She ordered which wasn’t intentional..
Hardin’s back stiffened as he slowly turned to face her..
“Excuse me?”
Alexa chuckled dryly, she stood up from the couch clenching and unclenching her fists as she spoke..
“Do you know how to cook?”
Hardin’s brows arched, he didn’t expect less from a spoilt lady like herself, it’s very common nowadays for ladies of her class..
They suck at every little thing except throwing lavish parties or spending money foolishly..

Olivia came out of the cab and settled her fare after which the cab left, few seconds later, a sleek black car rolled up next to her..
Knowing who it was, she made her way to her building not wanting to speak with him or anyone for now..
She was supposed to head back to the company after lunch but she really needed some time to herself now..
Damien got out of his car and chased after her, he held her arm back stopping her from pushing the door open..
“Let go!” She snapped at him breathing heavily..
“Are you upset that I hit him? he was trying to come close-
“This isn’t about that Damien!” She fired cutting his sentence midway..
She felt Jacob’s words were in a way true, Damien really didn’t care about her but Kelvin..
“You know he wasn’t wrong?.. his words were partly true! you’re just trying to take Kelvin away from me!”
Damien’s eyes closed briefly, his hand went to his temples caressing it gently..
“Come on Olivia! you know that isn’t true! I want you both.. how else am I to prove this to you? ignore what he said, if I really wanted Kelvin, I’d have taken him the moment I knew that he was my son!”
“Why? is that because you can’t have any other child?”
A look of shock crossed Damien’s face, he wasn’t expecting her to say this to his face, but for some reasons, her words was brutal enough to render him speechless for a few seconds..
Realizing the impact of her words, she tried to apologize..
“I’m really sorry i-
“Is that what you really think of me?” he questioned inaudibly, a pang of pain flashed past his orbs demanding answers from her..
