    Chapter 61


    ??Hey bab...??


    ??Hm???


    I was freshly out of shower after Lia trying to turn me to a unicorn. I was daydreaming... again.


    ??Damn.??


    How could he look at me like he had never seen me naked before? My body still had proofs that he had


    indeed seen me naked justst night.


    He pushed me to the wall and there was nothing much I could do, not that I wanted to do anything


    other than thrive in his attention.


    Him being dressed and I being naked except for his belly chain, was so hot.


    Oh Robbie learned how to do quickies too. Well, quickie for Robbie, so I did not know if it could be


    called that. I loved when he just came out of nowhere and decided to be intimate. There was something


    epically hot about that.


    When I breathed out his name in ecstasy he pulled out and the too familiar disappointment filled me. It


    had been happeningtely. Robbie did not have patience to sheath his bad boy before sticking him up


    in me. So, he had to pull out, but did he have to?


    I was his, wasn??t I?


    He told me so.


    So...


    I meant...


    I could not stop look longingly at the drying man juices on my thighs. Did he not want to? Ever? I


    meant, he always sounded pained and not wanting to pull out, then why was he doing it?


    He dropped kisses on my cheeks but I could not stop thinking about his essence. Why didn??t he?


    ??You really are here to send me back to hell, yeah???


    I pouted at him for not doing the thing I wanted him to do. Why did he not do it?


    Stupid Robbie.


    ??God, that was so good.?? Robbie kissed my neck.


    ??You can??t juste in and do that.?? I said annoyingly. Why did he note in me? He was


    supposed to do that, right?


    Right!


    ??Why can??t I??? His wandering fingers stopped at my right nipple. But he sounded so serious. He


    was right, why could not he?


    I was here and I wanted him toe whenever he had the urge. Did not mean that I would give in, but


    I should be the one he hunts for.


    I still pouted at him. Why did he note in me!!! It was so obvious. He needed to do that.


    I mumbled incoherently because I had no real answer to his question but dammit, I was not going to be


    answerless.


    He started flicking his nail on my nipple hard.


    It was annoying and irritating. I hated when he did that. It was not an itch, but not painful either and it


    was teasing me without being sensual. I hated it. It asked me to climb on his body, beg him for


    something and rock my body onto his, searching for... I had no idea what I was searching for, for Christ


    sake.


    I hated that feeling and he knew it drove me mad.


    My nipples would be sensitive for very long time after this and I would scratch it to relieve whatever that


    was which only add fuel to the fire.


    Ugggh!


    I had a sadistic lover.


    ??Why did youe here? To annoy me???


    ??Yes, Pretty Angel.??


    I red at him before going to the bathroom to get cleaned... again. WHY DID HE NOT COME INSIDE


    ME!!!


    I was annoyed.


    ??Oh, and my associates are here. They are waiting for me downstairs.??


    ??WHAT?!?? He decided to be freaky with me while those men waited. I cringed at the time he spent


    with me. What an Asshole. ??I can??t believe you Asshole Brantley.??


    ??Curse at me again and I will not be held ountable if I get excited.??


    Why was he like this!


    Cute, adorable and a literal pain in my ass. I stretched to relieve the said pain.


    ??What are you waiting for? Go. I will be down in five.??


    ??Nope. I love this view, Kitten.??


    I dressed as quickly as humanly possible and dragged this man down to his friends. The men were on


    our couch going through their phones.


    I felt bad.


    Dear God Robbie. If I spanked your butt would it be domestic abuse?


    ??I am so sorry... We... Robbie did not...??


    ??We know.??


    My face blew up and I covered it with my hand. I did not know there were visitors. Did they hear?


    I tried to remember hard if I had moaned. No point in crying over spilled milk. In this case, may be tea.


    ??Alright, now here is for today??s agenda. Come to my office. We will discuss.?? Robbie waved some


    papers and I frowned at eight of his friends who groaned.


    Robbie??s office was big but not roomy enough for eight of them tofortably sit and discuss


    everything.


    ??Why are you going to your office? Go to the den.??


    ??It is my den.?? Robbie frowned.


    ??So what??? There was table and sofa and enough room for all of them to do whatever they were


    here to do.


    ??Nope. I have stuff in there. We sit in the office.??


    I noticed how his friends were looking hopefully at me. ??Well, they are your friends and share your


    stuff. Go, y or work or whatever there.??


    ??Angel, they are not my friends, they are my associates.??


    ??Do I look like I care???


    ??No.?? He grumbled.


    ??Perfect. Gentlemen, please wait a second. I will check in there really quick.?? They all nodded


    happily.


    Robbie tagged behind me whining. ??Angel, that is my room.??


    ??Robbie, they are here for you. To discuss ??your business??. The least you could do is to make


    themfortable.??


    ??But...??


    ??You even made them wait without giving them anything to drink, Robbie.??


    ??Why would I...??


    ??You know what? They are going to sit here and that is it.??


    His den was perfect. Our new maid Windy did an excellent job in organizing this ce. I arranged


    some chairs and it was a perfect ce for his friends to hang out.


    The relief in his friends?? faces were reward enough. I waited for a seconds to check if Robbie was


    giving them a hard time. Then went to make some refreshments for them. I set aside Lia??s share


    when she came back from her yschool.


    She would be so happy to see this princess short cakes. She was growing up so fast. The yschool


    was perfect as Dr. Adams promised me. She only needed to go three days and it was from nine to


    twelve. It was a perfect timing.


    The institution had their own minivan and they would pick her up and drop her off too. She loved going


    there with her colouring book and pencils, like a true school girl. I missed her so much.


    I checked the tab and saw her running around with another baby girl, must be Jolly... Yup! They both


    squatted down together giggling and took off running again.


    I sighed.


    Robbie behaved well until it was lunch time. He came in iming he was hungry and noticed he was


    alone. ??Where are your friends???


    ??Working. Angel, they are not my friends. Associates.??


    ??Associates would not bring their kids to make your child happy, Robbie. They are your friends. They


    care about you. Now ask them toe for lunch.??


    ??They will order McDonalds.??


    I was not amused. I red with all my invisibleser eyes.


    ??You cook for me. Not them. I don??t want them to eat your food and you already gave them cakes


    and juice too.??


    All those times I wondered why Lia was not keen on making any friends, the answer was right in front


    of me.


    ??You either bring them here and eat ??my?? lunch with them or you order McDonalds and eat ??


    that?? with them.??


    I waited and waited and waited... waited some more.


    ??FINE!?? He snarled before stomping off.


    Big Baby.


    Oh, I love him so much. I chuckled.


    Robbie helped me set the table and I noticed some of them were still ufortable. ??What is wrong,


    Davin???


    ??Nothing really. Just this suit is annoying.??


    Iughed. ??I was meaning to ask, why are you wearing suits here??? They all looked at Robbie. ??


    Robbie! You are making them wear suits in your home???


    The said man was wearing his favourite sweat shirt with holes and a non-matching sweat pants. The


    bastard was not one bit apologetic.


    ??I can??t believe you.?? I pinched him. ??I am so sorry, guys. There must be some of our clothes


    which would fit you.??


    ??We have our emergency bags in the car.?? They shouted, looking like kids on Christmas.


    ??Aha! Then what are you waiting for? Go and change.?? I shooed them away and they ran to their car


    almost giggling.


    Poor babies.


    Then my own Big Baby decided to be more difficult.


    ??Angel, don??t give them cutlets. They are mine.??


    ??I want those shrimps for my dinner. Don??t give them that.??


    ??I will order food for them. Don??t waste your cooking.??


    ??You cook for meee....??


    This whiney baby!


    I finally had enough when I noticed his friends wereing back after changing their clothes. What if


    they heard this and thought we were cheap? Robbie would not mind, but these people really cared


    about him and Lia.


    ??Babe.?? I cupped his face and pulled him closer. ??I cook for you every day and I will continue cook


    for you; all the foods you want, for rest of our lives. Now stop being a meanie to your friends. They


    deeply care about you and I want you to treat them with same care. Do you hear me???


    Robbie looked like he was going to cry. This big man child. Why was he shaking? What did I say? I just


    wanted him to get along with his friends.


    I rubbed his back when he pushed me around to get inside my chest. ??Okay??? I asked to his ears


    and he nodded.


    ??Promise you will cook for me for rest of our lives.??


    ??Of course I would and yes, I promise.??


    What was the big deal about what I said? But Robbie never looked this happy before. He loved his


    foods.


    I pulled him along with me and seated him next to his friends. ??Are you guys allergic to anything???


    ??This idiot, Aaron is allergic to peanuts and Ben does not like Broli; he will spit it out. Rest will eat


    anything that would not bite, Oh, Chance hates veggies, make him eat sd.?? Not friends, yeah, I


    believe you, Big Baby.


    Robbie was still being a baby. He leaned to my stomach, melting my heart, waiting for me to serve him


    his favourite dishes. I patted his back as I served all of them seconds and thirds.


    They were all nice guys, we talked some more after lunch before Robbie went all Boss-Man.


    I invited them someday without work getting in the way. I would pull Robbie??s teeth to make him


    agree.


    When would he learn nobody would snatch me away from him?


    Well, but someone else could snatch him away from me though and she came in like a hurricane.


    Janice came home.


    Of course she did. Pranced in like she owned this ce, like she owned my man... at least she ignored


    my child.


    But Lia took the hit like a physical one. I noticed how she shied away, how silent she became, how she


    shivered when she could not see me. And I kind of agree with her reaction.


    Janice looked hideous. Hideous than how she looked at my mom??s funeral.


    Her face was nothing like the person I knew. She always shared facial features with my Aunt Marie,


    now she looked like anyone but. The stic had gone terribly wrong for her. Her cheek bones were far


    up high, her cheeks looked like bags, the lips too swollen and pouty, the chest and butt hanged from a


    too thin waist.


    She looked sexy but she did not look real. I would be scared if I saw her too.


    I cried that night. I could not find that confidence and don??t-care-attitude in me anymore. When I saw


    her sashaying to Robbie??s office, I could not bear it. When Lia fell asleep in my bed, I cried hugging


    her to my chest.


    I did not care if husband and wife did not sleep together or not.


    I did not want her here. This was my home. She had no ce here. Why was she here?


    Yet I tried my best. I gave cold shoulders to Robbie. I handed over my cooking responsibilities to our


    maid. I cooked only for Lia and I and we did not go downstairs. But when Robbie ambushed me again


    in the store room, I cried and ran away from him.


    I did not care what he wanted to say.


    I was struggling, and he let her in making it unbearable for me.


    My mommy was not in my home now. I could not take Lia to there and hide. I was alone and Robbie


    did not care about us. I cried harder every night.


    When Janice and maid fought I did not even bother to add my opinion when Robbie asked. I plucked


    my kid off the dining table and stomped to my bedroom locking us in.


    The maid, Windy, did not let Janice boss her around. Windy adamantly stated that I was the one paying


    her and she would only obey me. Robbie looked at me helplessly and I left the ??husband?? and ??


    wife?? figure everything out.


    ??If Mr. Brantley can feed himself, you can take an early vacation.?? That was all I said to Windy


    ignoring ??everyone?? else.


    Did Robbie forget how Janice behave during my mom??s funeral?


    How convenient!


    The voluptuous woman with a swollen face was not someone I knew before. But she introduced herself


    as Janice.


    She spoke like Janice, red at me like Janice but... she did not look like one. Her butt was huge so


    was her boobs that flew out of her low neck cut... what the hell was she wearing. It looked like a party


    wear only in ck. The thing had riled up her thighs and people were staring.


    She knew this was a funeral home, right?


    That we had gathered for hearing my mom??s will, right?


    The woman who treated her everything she wanted without batting an eye and this was how wanted to


    repay her? Well, she repaid her own mom with so much love and care! But this was too much, people


    were staring and whispering, asking who she was.


    I was disgusted to admit that many of my male rtives were looking at her with lust. I even heard


    someone hiss when she bent down for no reason whatsoever.


    ??I got back from Russia. The negotiations were brutal. I had toe here today, but I will be leaving


    tonight. So can we please get right into it??? She swirled her manicured fingers around as she crossed


    her legs and showing all her thighs.


    How dare she! This was my mom??s will. If she did not want to hear it GET OUT!!!


    Mr. Sullivan asked for my permission. ??We will begin at ten. Anyone who has other priorities, can


    leave.?? I pointedly red at some old men who sided with her. Most likely their privates sided with


    her.


    I wanted to puke.


    Robbie came in and told me that Lia was with Mr. Anderson and Frankie, without even looking at


    Janice. ??Are you sure they will do a good job with her? Why did you not hire a babysitter, honey???


    Robbie did not reply and talked to someone next to me. I saw Janice trying to cover up her


    embarrassment, and tried to catch his attention withouting out as pathetic.


    Then an olddy had enough of her husband trying to peek between her thighs and asked who the hell


    she was.


    ??What??? She giggled trying toe up as cute and all celebrity like but I was irked beyond


    measure. Could someone please take her out of my vicinity? ??I am Janice.??


    ??Which Janice???


    She giggled. ??I am sorry we had not been in touch for several years. I was busy with my new


    business...??


    ??You are the daughter of Marie, right???


    ??Haha... yes.??


    ??Wait, which Marie???


    ??The wife of that useless drunkard Miller. You are that kid, right? What are you doing here??? Janice


    looked like she wanted to kill someone.


    ??Her mom was under the care of Truscotts. Young Truscott was brought up by Marie. Now that ire


    is gone, what is she going to do???


    ??Did you not hear? Marie is dead.??


    ??What!!! No, I did not know, when???


    ??That I don??t know. Heard that she was in debts. Maybe Janice is here to settle the debts Marie had,


    with Truscotts.??


    They all started to talk about the debts and my Aunt Marie like she was a servant to Truscotts. She was


    not. She was my Aunt, my other mother... She died in my mom??s hands and...


    Tears dripped from my eyes and people at least had the decency to look remorseful.


    Please take your lies and conspiracies elsewhere.


    Jason hugged me from his seat behind me to calm me. He was shaking and yet how could he school


    his features?


    Mom had taken care of everyone under her wing. From our maids to watchmen, mom made sure they


    were not leaving this house empty handed and jobless. Mom had also put all of their children under ??


    Education for Everyone?? programme.


    Mom had given everyone more than they deserved.


    Yet, some had the audacity to question her will.


    The house was split between Jason and I. I ignored the murmurs of disapproval.


    The Lake cabin was given to my Lia.


    All the assets were naturally under my name but the ie was to be split between Jason and I.


    There were some properties which she had given to Jason but he could not sell it without my


    permission and signature.


    Thepany shares would only be disclosed to immediate family she had noted and everyone else


    was asked to disperse once Mr. Sullivan had covered everything family rted.


    Janice made a scene. ??What? I got nothing? Where is my share???


    ??And you are???


    Janice grit her teeth. ??My mom sacrificed her life for these... people and I get nothing???


    ??I don??t know who you are.??


    ??I am Janice. What is with everyone???


    Mr. Sullivan looked like he swallowed a bug. He knew who Janice was, but he did not know she could


    look like this.


    ??Janice please... calm down.??


    ??CALM DOWN??? CALM DOWN? Do you know who I am? Why was not my name in this will? Did


    anyone change it??? Why was she looking at me like that? What did I do?


    ??I strongly suggest; we wait until everyone else leave...??


    ??WHAT? Ashamed of how they did my mom wrong. Even someone who dragged into this house like


    a wet cat, got half of it.?? She spat at Jason. ??I demand my share. I have been in family for...??


    ??You did not attend your mom??s or ire Truscott??s funeral.??


    ??That again! I already told everyone. I was busy. My make-up line isunching next month. There was


    no way I coulde.??


    I rubbed my aching forehead.


    ??Since you insisted, we are going to discuss your situation.?? Mr. Sullivan sighed and the guards


    locked the room again.


    ??Please do. Finally!?? She looked so satisfied with herself. ??Jeez! Had to fight for my rights.?? She


    parked her stic butt on the chair and crossed her legs again, flipping her hair.


    ??ire had asked for you two months before. It was to settle the will. But you never showed up.??


    ??How the hell was I supposed to know???


    ??Exactly. I had called you thrice too, but you ignored my calls. All this people had showed up, and she


    heard what they wanted to say and included their needs in her will. An amount of 500K was set apart


    for you.??


    ??500K? Only 500K? Fine, where is it? Why did you not read it in the will? Are you scamming me???


    ??You owe the Truscotts two million forty-three hundred thousand dors.??


    ??What??? Janice quickly looked at me, jumping up. ??What? How? I never...??


    ??I have bills, youngdy. So sit down.?? Janice was confused but she sat down.


    ??Your mother was adamant in making everything under written papers. I wondered why, but now we


    know. All the business investment you had dragged ire to, was under the loan policies of Truscott


    Co.??


    Janice lost her colour.


    ??I thought... that was not true, right? I am family...??


    ??Very true. I remember telling you that personally.??


    ??Yes, but... but...??


    People started murmuring and pointing their fingers at her. Mr. Sullivan patiently waited for her to say


    something. Janice giggled. ??You would not make me pay, right? I mean, I am Janice, daughter of


    Marie. You can??t ask me to pay back.??


    ??You have to. Your mom had signed every paper and you have counter signed it too.??


    ??THAT WAS TO GET THE MONEY!!!??


    ??Everyone who takes the money from Truscott Co, is under loan policies.?? Several nods supported


    Mr. Sullivan??s statement.


    ??What about him??? Janice pointed her nail to Jason.


    ??He never took any loan from our firm.??


    ??Are you kidding me? He drives a fucking Mercedes and...??


    ??Made my own money, woman.?? Jason yawned before lying down on his elbow, supported by my


    chair back.


    ??What about him, then? I have seen her giving him money.?? Was Janice really pointing her finger at


    me? I turned around and true enough it was at me.


    ??That is her son. But yes he was under the same policies too. But not everything because, you know


    a mother gives her child without any ??policies??.??


    Janice would not know about being a mom.


    She brought up the Lake Cabin, because mom had asked her once if she wanted it. Janice had said


    no. So mom had given it to Lia.


    Janice wanted a Condo in California instead and mom had bought one for her. When Mr. Sullivan


    asked her about that, she had the audacity to im her innocence in selling it.


    At least everyone heard what Janice really did, now she could not really tell anyone that my mom did


    her wrong.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    When everyone was kicked out, Uncle Fred, Uncle Jack, Robbie, Jason, Mr. Anderson, some of my


    mom??s trusted employees, and I remained.


    Thepany was under my name. But the shares were split between Robbie, Jason and I. We could


    not sell it without the permission of other two.


    Uncle Fred was given some veto powers which Robbie clearly understood but I did not. But Uncle Fred


    did not protest so it must be something serious.


    We could not fire some employees without Mr. Anderson??s agreement and some new schemes were


    added. Everything was perfect.


    People did not approve until they noticed how I did not care about sharing many of my mom??s


    personal assets with Jason. Then they changed their tes and everyone suddenly loved Jason


    knowing he had a say in my life.


    How ironic! Suddenly everyone approved Jason as my brother.


    And this woman Janice, had the audacity to ask the right Jason had over Truscott family. And the only


    reason I did not put her back in the ce was because she was my Aunt Marie??s daughter.


    Did Robbie not notice how she made me feel? Or did he not care?


    Please Robbie, do something about us, about her... Please.


    Was I not enough?


    I could give him anything he wanted. Why was he with her?


    Pick me, Robbie. Please.


    I love you.
