TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO
Chapter 45

Writer's POV

Thompson's residence....!

Olivia marches into the living room and angrily tossed her purse and phone on the table.

Her grandmother and Diego sat there watching her but she doesn't acknowledges them.

"Diego, go get your sister a bottle of cold water!" Mrs Chesterfield orders him.

Diego pretends like he didn't hear her and concentrated on his book.

"I'm talking to you, Diego. Go get Olivia...."

"She's closest to the fridge, grandma" Diego cuts her off.

Mrs Chesterfield looks towards Olivia and realizes Diego is right... but seeing as Olivia is fuming, she wants to calm her down.

"But you can see she's angry, get her the water to calm down"

Diego paused and bite his lower lip to refrain himself from saying any hurtful words.

"I'm not the cause of her anger!" He said.

He takes out his ear buds and puts them in his ear.. pretending to be listening to music.

Mrs Chesterfield glares at him but ignores him and turns to Olivia with a bright smile... She throws her arms around Olivia and massages her shoulders gently.

"Olivia, darling... Why are you angry? Did something happen?" She asked in a sweet tone.

"Grandma, dad freezed all my cards!" Olivia whined.

"He freezed your cards?"

"Yes! He said I damaged his reputation and brought disgrace to our family... He called me a disgrace!"

Diego turns towards her and laugh silently at her sour expression.

Olivia turns to her grandmother.

"Grandma, I just want Andre back is that too much to ask? Is that a disgraceful thing? Does that make me a disgrace?!"

"No, not at all..." Mrs Chesterfield coos her. "Don't worry about your dad, you have me.. if he doesn't unfreeze your cards, I'll give you another card.. if Andre is what you want I'll help you get him!" Olivia smiles and hugs her.

"Thank you grandma, you're so kind to me!"

Diego got up and glares at them.

"Over-pampered, spoilt brat!" He said and walks off.

Olivia pulls away from the hug and glare at the direction Diego went.

"He's lucky he's got dad as his backer, else I'd thrown him out of this house!"

"Don't worry about him, you got the biggest backer... Me!"

Olivia smiles and nod... but quickly frown and clenches her jaw, her hands balled.

"Grandma... right now I can't have Andre because Debby is standing in the way. I need to get her out of the way before I can get to Andre"

Mrs Chesterfield thinks about it and replaces sense in what Olivia said... she nods.

"You're right, Olivia... Andre won't allow you back if we don't get rid of Debby" she paused and frown. "But how do we can get rid of her? Do you have any idea? Tell me and I'll help you carry it out!" Olivia smirks.

"Don't worry, grandma, I've got this... I know just how to get rid of her or should I say... take her place!"

"How?"

"The best way to win your opponent... is getting to know everything about them, grandma" "Huh?"

Olivia gets up and walk towards the window, she opens the curtains and inhale deeply.

"Debby loves making friends.. all I have to do is simple"

"What do you want to do? Do you need my help?"

Olivia shakes her head.

"No, this is something I must do alone... Debby and I have always been enemies but I still couldn't beat her. Now I'll be her friend and see if I'll gain from our friendship!"

Mrs Chesterfield smiles at Olivia's suggestion.

"But there's a problem!" Mrs Chesterfield said.

"Problem? My plan is perfect!"

"It's perfect but how will she accept your friendship... I mean, you've been arch enemies since high school"

Olivia laughs.

"Grandma, everyone have their weak points.... and Debby's weakness is her kind heart... she forgives easily!" "Oh!" Mrs Chesterfield nods.

"All I have to do is put on some show and she'll forgive me!"

"Good!"

Olivia walk back to the sofa and sits down... resting her head on Mrs Chesterfield's shoulder.

"Just sit back and watch the show grandma!"

They both smile in contentment.

Debby's POV

At the hospital....!

Oh my God!

What did I do to Lucas?

I sat on the chair next to Lucas and look at his face carefully... his face is wrapped in thick bandages, I can only see his closed eyes and mouth.

He lays still on the bed though I can tell he's breathing from his chest rising and falling.

God! He must be going through a lot of pain right now.

"Thank God the doctor said he's fine!" Anna said as she walks into the ward.

She hands a paper to me, it looks like a test result.

"That's his CT scan.. there won't be any problem, we just have to wait for him to wake up!" She explained.

I nod and sighed in relief.

"Thank God he's ok... I just hope he'll wake up soon, he's got a lot on his shoulders" I said.

My tone was kinda very down which makes Anna give me a weird look.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"Yeah!" After all she doesn't know what Lucas is going through.

And I don't think it's in my place to tell her. She pulls out another chair in the ward and sat down.

She studies me for a moment.. like she's trying to figure something out.

"Debs, I wanna ask you a question and I need you to answer it honestly"

I frown at her tone, she sound so serious.

"What?"

"Do you have feelings for Lucas?"

"What?!" I exclaimed almost too loudly.

I thought she was asking a prank question but seeing her serious expression... I realized she's serious.

"Answer honestly, do you have feelings for Lucas?"

"No!"

"No?"

"No... I don't have feelings for him. Why would you even ask that? He's just like my brother"

Lucas and I have known each other for almost all our lives... we knew each other way before we met Anna.

And I have always seen him as my brother... In fact, in my heart he's my brother!

"I'm afraid Lucas doesn't think that way... I think it's high time you made it clear to him and maintain some distance between you two!"

She's right... I noticed it long ago that Lucas treats me differently but I didn't wanna believe that he's actually in love with me.

"I notice how he treats you.. how he behaves when you're around. Lucas is in love with you and I know you also know it very well. Debs, it's time you make him understand the relationship between the both of you" I understand her and I really wanna tell Lucas who he is to me... I want to set some boundaries between us but I'm just afraid....

"Anna, I'm scared if I tell him the truth, our friendship will be ruin"

"Then let it ruin... It's better to destroy the friendship between you two with the truth.. than try to keep the friendship with lies!" She said.

Thinking about it thoroughly, she's right. I can't let him have high hopes... I should tell him the truth.

"I'll talk to him when he wakes up!"

"Good!" She clears her throat. "Now, let's talk about you and Andre..."

I rolled my eyes and tried to get up but she pulled down.

"How's your relationship now? Any progress?"

Progress... Hmm, there's great progress, I said mentally. I look away from her, she holds my head still and look in my eyes.

"Tell me the truth... any progress?"

"No!" I answered quickly.

She smirks and narrowed her eyes.

"You answered it too quickly...." She studies me carefully. "Something is not right.. you look guilty, tell me what is going on between you two!" "Nothing!"

"I don't believe you, tell me or I'll get it out of you the hard way!"

I kept quiet, she can't make me speak.

"If you don't tell me, I'll call Sean and make him ask Andre.. you know Andre never lies"

I scoff.

"Andre ain't gonna say a word"

I'm very confident... Andre won't tell his friends about us having sex, he'd never do that to me... His Angel.

"Wanna try it?"

I know Andre won't say it but I'm still kinda scared.

She reached for her phone and types Sean's number... she shows it to me.

"I'm gonna call him now!" She sing song.

I still didn't speak, until she dialed the number... I didn't know when my mouth snap open and start pouring out words. "Fine! We already have sex!"

Her phone fell off her hand and she stares at me with her mouth slightly open.... Like she's speechless.

I wave my hand in front of her... Her eyes didn't blink.. her eyeballs didn't move. She simply sat like a statue.

I guess what I said is a big shocker to her.

"You... you... said what?" She stutters.

"I said we've had sex already..."

"Sex?!" She cuts me off.

I nod.

"Like you're no longer a Mary?!"

I nod.

"Like you and Andre... Naked... Dick... Pussy...?!"

I nod again.

Then it's silence.. suddenly, I heard an ear piercing squeal from her, I closed my ears with my hand.

She pulls me into a tight hug.

"My baby is now a woman!! Finally!!"

I couldn't breathe.. her grip so tight that I can hear my bones cracking.

"An.. An.. An.. na!"

She finally pull away.

"I can't believe you love Andre to this extent!"

"I love him to what extent?"

"I remember you once told me, you ain't gonna have sex with someone you don't love"

Oh! She's right.. I did say that sometime ago.

"Well, Andre has been nice to me so far... so, I believe he kinda deserve my love"

"He kinda?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine! He deserves my love.. I was tryna save myself some dignity"

We shared a great laugh.

"So, I guess there are no more secrets between you guys"

I sighed.

"Why are you sighing? Don't tell me you haven't told Andre about your family issues"

"I only told him about my Mom and a little about my dad... I haven't told him what between me and my dad, I'm afraid he'll hate me!"

Anna sighs heavily and sits next to me on my chair.

"He won't hate.. just replace the right time and tell him everything"

"But.. but.. a killer? How won't he hate me?"

"You're not a killer Debs, you're a good person... It wasn't your fault!"

"But..."

My phone ringtone cuts me off... I check and replaces Andre's name flashing on the screen.

"Hello, Andre?" I picked it up.

"Angel, come back home now!"

I frown at his commanding tone.

"Why?"

"Just come home!" Then he hangs up.

Anna pass me a questioning look.

"Andre wants me home... it sound kinda urgent!"

"Ok, go ahead... I'll stay here with Lucas"

I nod and give her a brief hug.

"Don't forget to talk to Andre about your past"

"I know" then I head for the door.

*******

7:46pm... Andre's mansion....!

I entered the living room.. it's dark everywhere.

My hands search the wall and locate the switch... I flicked the light on and was shocked to replace Andre sitting in the living.

I take slow steps towards him... he throws some papers on the table.

"Andre...." I trail off not knowing what to say.

I mean.. he's looking so angry right now and I don't know where I have offended him this time.

"Angel, is there something you wanna tell me?"

What?!
