So annoying
When the couple alighted, Chase held Rosalinda’s hand, intertwining his fingers ders with hers. They drew closer, and a few securities walked over to their boss.
When Chase walked over he turned and glared at the securities in hostility “the next time you opened that gate to some unwanted guests, your job in this house is ended!” He thundered.
“We are not unwanted guests Mr Hudson. We are law enforcement agencies with a search warrant…” One of the police officers was saying when Chase snapped at him.
“If you have a search warrant, do you also have a gate pass?” He asked, his usual arrogant personality taking over the calmness he portrayed at the orphanage.
For a few seconds, none could say a word until the man next to Amanda Smith introduced himself “I am Barr. Clifford, Miss Amanda Smith’s lawyer” he said, dissipating the awkwardness in the air.
“We have a search warrant from the head office to search your mansion for Miss Bella Smith, a girl you adopted from the orphanage,” another police officer explained.
He brought out the signed warrant letter and offered it to Chase. The latter just glared at him, ignoring his outstretched hand nor the warrant he was holding.
“Did you bring the police here, Amanda?” Chase asked, staring at Amanda with an expressionless face. His grip on his wife’s hand was still firm.
“I did. I brought the police on behalf of the orphanage” the matron replied Chase. She was bringing the police when Amanda called her. They decided to meet up at Chase’s place.
“We’ll search the house immediately ” the police officer declared when Chase thundered “Not a foot of yours in my house. You want Bella, right? I’ll have her brought to you”
He turned to one of his bodyguards and the latter nodded. In a few minutes, little Bella giggled out and suddenly paused when she saw her parents staring at her with a doting but helpless gaze.
Chase let go of Rosalinda’s hand and squatted before Bella “You know I love you baby, right?”
The little girl nodded and he continued “I want you to know that I won’t stop loving you. Your place will forever be here” he said tapping the left side of his chest with his fist.
“But you have to get away from me for now. But you will never lose my heart. Linda and I love you very much, okay?” Chase concluded and kissed her temple, his lips lingering long on her temple.
Rosalinda’s eyes had gone moist. Bella had made them promise not to leave her. Now, they couldn’t keep their promise to a little girl like her. Just what kind of parents are they both, unable to keep promises.
“Are you going to leave me now, you and Linda?” Bella asked, cupping his dad’s face with her little hands.
“For a few hours, yes. But I will contend for your custody and I promise I won’t rest until I get you back” Chase assured.
“That’s true little Puny. Your daddy and I will bring you back to your home again. You’re our daughter forever, trust your dad this time, okay?” Rosalinda persuaded.
Bella was unhappy but she nodded. Chase kissed her temple again and this time, everyone went emotional. The couple loves the little girl and it’s evident.
Chase raised himself to a full height and handed Bella to the matron. When the woman got hold of the girl, she smiled.
The Job had been done, easier than they expected. The police men ushered Bella and the matron into their car when the loud sob of Bella rented the air.
“Daddy! Daddy, they’re taking me away…my daddy…Linda..”Bella was sobbing.
Chase’s eyes went reddened and his facial expression turned frosty. He glared at Amanda as the latter walked away with her lawyer.
Few hours later, Chase’s lawyer called him “Miss Amanda Smith has given up the custody of your daughter to you but with a condition attached”
“Just spill it,” Chase ordered. She gave him custody of Bella. Whatever condition she places on it, if it’s within his ability, he would grant it.
“She would be allowed to be with her daughter, twice in a month from morning till dusk” the lawyer explained.
“Granted” Chase approved of her request and hung up. He sighed audibly. Finally she let him have her. He will reward her for this kindness and think of a way to forever make her be a beneficiary of the privileges from Hudson’s holding.
One beautiful evening, Jace Hudson called Arianna into his study. She’s pregnant now, and she’d indeed stopped her job and agreed to raise a family.
“Fix a date for the wedding and let me know, ” Jace announced. She’d been urging him that they should be married before her belly gets protrude further than it was already.
“Oh really?” Arianna exclaimed. She’s excited. He agreed? He had told her he wasn’t ready to be married anymore. When he was, she had refused him.
“This weekend Jace. We should get married” Arianna gave a response. Jace nodded “Fine then. You will be my wife in two days time” Jace approved.
He called Chase first and said “We are getting married this weekend…” He feels so happy and ready to walk the aisle with her.
“Congratulations bro. I’ve been waiting to hear this news for a long time ago” Chase chimed. His brother and Arianna are just one pair of couples who have great stories about their love life.
The ups and downs. The pleasant times and rugged times. The intermittent break up and love driven reconciliation. Eli brought them together and they will raise him together in a love filled home.
Jace had hardly dropped his phone when the phone chirped. He saw the caller ID to be his Mom and he smiled. He would tell her about his decision and Arianna’s to be married.
Amelia’s voice came through immediately Jace answered his phone “Get ready for my funeral if you don’t marry Arianna before my grandchild is born.
I have been jinxed not to see my eldest son get married in this life. I will return in my next life as your mother again and get you married the very day you will be born…”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mom!…” Jace exclaimed, pinching the bridge between his eyes.
“Just get married or start making preparations for my funeral” Amelia blurted.
“We are getting married in two days, Mom,” Jace announced. His mom can be so annoying sometimes. But he chuckled softly, that’s why he loves her very much as well. She’s unique and practical.
“Huh? What did you just say dearest son?” Amelia asked, the good news hitting her in a daze.
