Albert sat in the car and waited patiently. Velma had already told him everything that happened to her mother and her suspicion. He promised to start his investigation after the new year.
At the cemetery, the father and daughter pair stood facing each other. No one broke the silence even after a long period of time has passed.
"What happened that day..." Martin broke the silence.
"There is no need to explain. You made your choice back then and I respect that." Velma cut him off coldly.
"You could have at least stayed and said something. Not only did you leave me in the hospital with nothing, you did not care even if I died or lived."
"I had only given birth some few hours earlier. I was too weak to even walk. Not only did you not settle the bill, but also disappeared."
"Do you know if not for Albert, I will be long dead together with my baby. He saved me and took me in without asking anything or without wanting something in return."
Albert placed her in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.She had not said anything and only shut her eyes. Albert too did not say anything and silently accompanied her.He started the car and left shortly after. Martin who had been hiding nearby, came out of his hiding after hearing the sound of engine fading away.He did not know what came over him for him to utter those hurtful words to his daughter.He could not control the rage he felt in his heart and spoke without thinking.Maybe that is what he truly felt inside. He knew that their relationship was now beyond repair. There was nothing he could do.He grabbed his hair in frustration before kneeling on the ground and wailing uncontrollably. He was unaware that someone was snapping pictures of him in his pathetic state....Albert arrived at his Karen residence and carried Velma out of the car carefully. She has fallen asleep on the way and was yet to wake up.
The following morning, Velma woke up early. She had slept earlier the previous night so she was not sleepy any more.The moment she tried to move her body, she felt her bones cracking.There was an aching feeling at the lower part of her body and her back was burning.She could not help but release a painful moan.Albert was siting on the sofa playing with his son. He felt some noise and moved his gaze towards the bed, only to see Velma struggling to sit up while cursing softly under her breath.Remembering how wild she was yesterday, Albert gave out a laugh.His laugh attracted Velma who was struggling to sit up. Only then did she notice that there was someone else in the room. She looked towards the source of the voice and saw Albert looking at her with a meaningful smile.Velma remembered everything they did yesterday. Her face burned so much that she hurriedly burried her head in the blanket, not wanting anyone to see her.
Velma quicky washed herself, after half an hour, they were already in the car moving towards the Bill's Manor.She had dressed in the latest channel dress, her face was fair with only a little foundation and light lip gloss. She looked simple but stunning, Albert found it hard to look away...."First Young, you are home!" The butler called out once he saw Albert alighting from the car.He went to open the other side of the door and Velma came out of the while holding Dylan in her arms."Miss..." the butler could only call her miss because he did not know how to address her."Hello..." Velma nodded politely.Albert took her other hand and led her to the house.Helen was already standing at the door in anticipation."Velma, you are here. I have been waiting for a whole day to see my grandson." Helen said and went over to take the baby from Velma's hands.She completely ignored Albert. The ignored person
Nana was led by her brother and they reached the living room. Velma was talking to Helen Dylan was sleeping soundly in Helen's arms.She was unwilling to put him down, so she could only hold him even in his sleep.They heard the footsteps and looked over."Nana come and say hi to your Sister-in-law in law." Helen called out when she saw her daughter.Velma also looked over. She had heard from Albert that he had a little sister who was studying overseas. Looking at her, they were almost the same age.Nana walked over, although she was unwilling, she had to show her brother face."Hello, I'm Nana, Albert's younger sister, nice to meet you." Nana said half heartedly. Her voice sounded as if she was being forced."Hello, I'm Velma, nice to meet you." Velma stretched out her hand. Nana looked at her hand with disgust and did not shake it.Velma felt awkward and slowlyretracted her hand. She did not know what she di
"I'm sorry, my sister has always been spoiled by us since she was young, she is insensible." Albert said."When you are done, you can get out of the car." Velma said without turning to look at the man who was speaking.Did he come just all way just to speak of his sister. Did he care about how she felt. Or was he too starting to think that she was a bitch."I didn't not mean to speak up for my sister. I know what she said hurt you.""You know that already and yet you are here, telling me how spoiled she is? I'm also someone with a temper. I can't just let anyone step on my dignity.""I'm sorry. This is not how I wanted it to be." Albert apologized.Velma too knew that it was not his fault. But she did not feel good when someone spoke of her like that."Maybe she is right. Maybe I really planned all these. Maybe I just wanted to get into your bed, so that I could find a chance to stick to you. Maybe I'm no
When they reached the house, Albert immediately went to his study room to make a few phone calls."Raven, help me investigate what my sister has been upto in the last six months. I want a detailed report." Albert said briefly before hanging up.He knew his sister too well. Something was not right. Although she was spoiled rotten, she knew not to overdo some things.He did not know where she got a lot of information about Velma. It was as if someone was especially using her.Albert could not not help but think of Winnie and Lyne. Those two had targeted Velma without any reason, he was a suspicious person and already felt like something was not right.Especially Lyne, she knew Velma only after Velma joined the company and they had no prior contact but had been cold towards her from the very first day.If it was Winnie, it would be atleast understandable because they were classmates in college.She had even gone overseas afte
The new year was over and people had returned to work. Although Velma never returned to Albert's family house, his mother had been coming more often. She could even spend two to three days before going back.Dylan was growing first and could even sit up.Nana was still in the country was yet to go back to the states. She was panicked because she did not know what that person will do to her since she failed her assignment.She did not know what will happen to her once her father and brothers knew what she had done. But she did not mean any of it as she too did not know how the hell it happened.What she did not know was that Albert has already found out everything.He was so mad that he did not know how to feel. Although they were raised as rich kids, some things were a taboo in the family such as drugs and gambling. He did not understand how his sister got herself in that mess.The more he read the report that Raven had sent him,
"Big brother I didn't know that Velma had been through too much." Nana said, tears already streaming down her face."Tell me who blackmailed you.""I don't know. Someone called me with an unknown number. Told me how my brother was in danger, that some woman pretended to have been drugged and sent herself to my brother's bed. So when mom called me and told me that you had a girlfriend and a baby, I immediately concluded that the person was telling the truth.""He also told me that if I don't do as he say, he will definitely expose everything to my father." Nana said.Albert was in deep thoughts after hearing what his sister said.First that person knew his sisters background pretty well and even knew that his father loathed drugs and gambling.Second the person also knew that Velma and him slept together and Velma was even abandoned by her father.Albert was a caution person and his identity was even more mysterious. How could one know
