Her, his desire

” Dad?” Max called surprised, he wasn’t expecting him to fly down to New York today after he called him on the phone that he found their family. ..

” I couldn’t wait to see your mother and your sisters son, how are you? Where are they?”

Kelvin asked excitedly. His excitement was mixed with anxiousness.

He entered into their penthouse with the believe that they might be here with Max.

And he was right! !!!

Max chuckled rushing after his Dad. He isn’t blaming him , happy to see his wife and daughters after fifteen years.

Before Max could enter inside, he heard a familiar voice calling him from behind.

” And there is the asshole that didn’t tell me he was traveling for a business trip”

Her tiny voice came in.

” Matilda?” Max called with a knitted eyebrows. She came with his Dad? Really?

Matilda scoffed inwardly…..

” Are you surprised to see me? Oh well, you weren’t expecting to see me but it is nice seeing you again Max ”

She snorted dragging her mini traveling bag with her.

” What are you doing here?” Max blurted.

Matilda paused for a second…..

” What I am doing here? Are you not happy to see me?” She asked with hurt flashing in her eyes.

When will Max ever return her feelings?

Max opened and closed his mouth with nothing coming out from it.

He walked closer to her wrapping his arms around her.

That one act got Matilda’s heart running a marathon.

A single touch of his makes her go insane.

Why did he have so much effect on her? Yet it is unrequited.

He doesn’t feel the same way she does for him. ..

” I am sorry, I didn’t mean to say that. I am happy to see you, I am just surprised you came with Dad. I did not expect that you will come with him ”

Max explained. He did not know why he took it upon himself to explain that in the first place.

His heart beat quicken as her boobs collided with his chest.

Maybe it is time he give them a chance, Matilda has been with him while growing up. She helped him healed up from all the trauma he went through.

She was there with him, won’t she be the best for him?

” We will talk about that later ” Matilda said shyly and ran off inside to the direction Kelvin took a while ago.

Max chuckled! He knows she is trying to escape him for the moment..

They both strode inside as he help her pick the bag she dropped.

When they entered, they met Kelvin hugging their mum tightly with teary eyes.

” K… Kelvin ” Mrs Huang choked on her tears, she couldn’t believe she is seeing her husband right in front of her.

” It is really you Loretta, it is you ” Kelvin replied checking her.

Loretta burst into tears, she felt so guilty for everything that has happened.

Kelvin won’t ever forgive her if he gets to know that she was raped, if he gets to find out that she was married to another man while married to him.

He won’t be happy! He will think she is dirty, he is going to abandon her. ..

” I am so happy to see you Loretta, you don’t know how much I have longed to see you and our daughters, I miss you so much ” he said and hugged her again.

Loretta pulled back in shame taking Kelvin by surprise.

She shifted away wrapping her arms around her.

Even Max and Matilda that was watching the couple was surprised.

” I feel so dirty Kelvin ”

” I was raped by Galen your brother, I lost my memory, I got married to another man while married to you ”

” I know you will hate me after hearing this but it wasn’t my fault all that happened to me, I didn’t know. I couldn’t do anything about it I… ”

” Loretta… I will never hate you no matter what has happened to you in the past, I don’t care. You are still my wife as long as I never divorced you and I will forever love you ”

Kelvin cuts in shutting her up.

He wiped her tears away and hugged her again.

” I am sorry I wasn’t able to protect you and our daughters from my brother, I thought he was a good person. I am sorry Loretta, I am sorry ” he said still hugging her.

” Y… You are not mad at me? ” Loretta asked.

Kelvin shook his head chuckling a little.

” Never, I can never be mad at you ” he said truthfully.

Loretta couldn’t hold back her tears, she let them out freely.

That same moment, Sofia came down from the stairs yelling Max’s name.

” Max I want to…..”

She paused when she saw the emotional rollercoaster in the living room.

All eyes turned to her, Loretta and Kelvin exchanged some looks.

” Is she?” He asked.

Loretta did not waste time before nodding her head happily.

Kelvin flew to Sofia and hugged her, kissing her forehead tenderly.

” My princess is grown, she has grown into a beautiful maiden. I am sorry I wasn’t there for you and your sister while growing up. I promise to make it up to you both ”

He said hugging her again.

” D. . Dad ” Sofia stammered. She could now see where she got her features from, she looks so much like her Dad.

” You can call me that again Isabelle, I wish to hear you call me Dad ” Kelvin said happily but a laughter erupted in the room.

He glanced at them wondering why they were laughing.

” I am not Isabelle Dad, I am Annabelle ” Sofia corrected chuckling .

Kelvin also chuckled with her.

” What about her? Where is your sister?” He asked. ..

” Right here Dad ” Sadie said with Nathan standing right beside her. She knows that whoever was asking of her will definitely be her father.

Everyone was surprised, they didn’t know when they came in.

Kelvin’s smile widened seeing his second daughter.

He rushed to Sadie crushing her bones together.

” My baby, you’ve grown too just like your sister. You both have grown beautiful just like your mother . I missed your childhood and I am very sorry, I am so sorry princess ”

He apologized sincerely, his eyes darted to Nathan and settled on him.

Sadie cleared her throat….

” Meet Nathan Dad, he is my husband ” Sadie said.

Kelvin’s eyes widened.

His daughter is married?

” You are married? My baby is no longer a baby ” Kelvin said. The rest chuckled while Sadie hid her face behind Nathan.

She just met him but this is how it feels to have a father.

” Good afternoon sir, it’s nice meeting you ” Nathan said bowing his head in respect.

Kelvin glared at him and Nathan gulped down nothing.

Did he say something bad? He asked within himself.

Kelvin gave him a punch in the jaw.

Nathan staggered back holding his jaw. Damn it!

The rest gasped.

” Kelvin ” Loretta called but Kelvin ignored her.

” You are pounding into my daughter and you dare call me Sir?” Kelvin asked with a scrowl on his face.

Nathan’s face turned red in embarrassment as everyone burst out laughing.

Sadie blushed while trying hard to control her laughter. She never knew her husband could be this scared.

” I.. I am sorry Dad ” Nathan corrected himself still rubbing his jaw. This man’s punch is so hard. It hurt so badly.

” Good boy ” Kelvin replied patting his back.

” Can we all sit now?” Loretta asked narrowing her eyes at her warrior husband.

They all say down . Max sat close to Matilda throwing his arms around her shoulder.

Max cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention.

” My boys called, they have Galen in their custody. I instructed them to hand him over to the cops ”

****************

Nathan left the Kelvin’s leaving Sadie there to bond with her family.

Right now, he just left the mall and he is heading straight to his dad’s Mansion.

After a few minutes drive, he pulled into his dad’s house.

Nathan alighted from the car carrying loads of shopping bags.

The guards quickly rushed to him to collect them but he refused. ..

” Welcome Young Master, please let us help you ” they said. ..

He shook his head in refusal.

” Do not worry, I am fine just go back to duty ” he said to them heading in.

He met both his mum and dad in the sitting room.

” Son, what’s with the bags?” Mrs Rogers asked eyeing the bags in his hands.

” Good afternoon mum, dad. I came to see my sister ” Nathan replied looking around for Mena.

His mum chuckled while his Dad shook his head.

” You are here to bribe her to forgive you with those?” His mum asked.

Nathan chuckled too.

” You know me to well mum, I need to apologise to her ” he replied.

” Well, you better do that, she is very mad at you. You will find her still sulking in her room after three days ” Mrs Rogers said laughing at Mena’s childish attitude.

Her pregnancy is adding to it and taking a troll on her emotions. ..

Nathan nodded her head rushing towards his sister’s room.

” Typical Nathan ” he heard his Dad said as he entered into Mena’s room.

True to his mum’s words, Mena was lying on her bed with the blanket wrapped around her.

She has been this moody since the incident three days back. She did not get out of her room nor go out as usual.

Her meals were served in her room.

When Mena heard her door opened, she peeped to see who came in.

Seeing that it was Nathan, she laid back down.

He went closer to her bed and sat beside her.

Nathan sighed !

” Ismena ” he called her with her full name.

Mena snorted turning away from him. Remembering how he had slapped her so hard the other day made her cringe.

” I am really sorry sis, I was just angry that you refused to speak. You know I will never do that ordinarily, forgive your big brother ”

Nathan apologized but Mena played deaf to his words.

She laid there without sparing him a glance. She is just mad he raised his hands on her, what Nathan has never done before.

Nathan shook her slightly with a small smile on his face.

” I promise, I will never slap you ever again ” he said yet no reply.

Nathan thought of what else to do.

He brought the shopping bags dropping them beside her. He knows how much Mena loves gifts..

” See? I bought them all for you ”

Mena jumped up with her face brightened.

She began bringing out everything one by one.

There was different sets of dresses, shoes, jewelleries, canvas , top and trousers and her favourite chocolate.

Mena has always loved chocolate right from childhood.

” Am I now forgiven?” Nathan asked.

Mena paused for a few seconds rolling her eyes.

For Nathan to go get all this for her alone proved that he is really sorry.

” Promise you will never do that again ” she said to him

Nathan crossed his heart dramatically.

” I promise never to hit Ismena Rogers again ” he said giving her a smile while Mena chuckled.

” Seriously Nathan, that slap was so hard. I thought I would faint after it ” she said glaring hard at him

” I am sorry sis ”

” Yeah! Yeah ”

” So tell me, how is my little newphew or niece doing?” He asked with his eyes focused on Mena’s stomach.

Mena’s hand went straight to her stomach touching it with a huge smile plastered on her face.

” She is doing very great ” she replied excitedly.

” She? How sure are you it’s going to be a she?” Nathan asked narrowing her eyes.

” Leon and I want a girl, I am sure God will make it a girl ” she replied lovingly at the mention of her lover.

Nathan cleared his throat taking a quick glance at his sister.

” How is Leon? ” Nathan asked out of nowhere. ..

Mena turned back with a surprise expression.

She blinked her eyes in disbelief.

” A…. are you really asking after Leon? ” She asked or scoffed in amazement rather.

Nathan coughed briefly.

” Is anything bad about that?” He asked.

” Ah! No, no! I am just you know…. surprised ” she replied sharply.

” Uhhm, can you accompany me to go see him?” Nathan asked.

” So that you can beat him up again right?” Mena scoffed.

” Of course not sis, I won’t do any of that again. I just want to apologize to him ” he defended. ..

” Do you really mean it Nathan? I won’t have you giving my boyfriend scars again ” Mena said in a serious tone like she can do anything about it if that happens.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

” I promise, I won’t ”

Mena thought about it for a while then slowly nodded her head.

” Alright then, I will go with you “
