Chapter 129: Chapter 129

Barbara pushed the main door to the building as soon as she get to Gordon's Villa, Gordon who was having his nap was startled with the look on Barbara's face.

Hey! What's up?

Let's get married. Gordon burst in laughter, he stand then pushed her head slightly as he make his way to the washroom. Come on Gordon, let's get married, I know you love Sally but the truth is, is just for father to get his surgery, father is dying and he is been stubborn, he doesn't want to go through the surgery because he is scared that no one might protect me, when he is gone, he said he will only go through the surgery, if only I get married, so not to worry, after the surgery, we will go our separate ways.

Such a fraudster for a daughter.

Come on, I really need this, I know it's bad but the truth is, I just have a day and some few hours now, I beg you.

It's not possible Barbara, I can't do that, even if I want to help you, I can't help you.

Why? Am I not beautiful enough, I told you, I will not stand in the way, I am not going to do anything that will jeopardize your future.

It's not that easy, just let me be, I can't marry you, look for someone else.

Why? You promised to always help me, now that I need your help, you are not going...

Barbara stop, you are my sister. He said in frustration, she look at him in shocked, he rake his hair with his fingers in frustration as well, seeing Barbara looking at him, demanding for an explanation, she really doesn't seem to understand.

Here, you should drink. Gordon stretch a glass of cold mango juice to her, she looks at him.

Remember the day I bump into you? She nodded. It was all a coincidence, I was really not expecting to meet someone who is exactly like my grandmother but then I thought it's just some mere coincidence, then I bump into you at the party and that scent visited me, that was same scent she had, I got curious, I really wanted to know the reason behind the resemblance, so I had a DNA test run on you.

Gordon chuckled, Barbara watch him. For some reason, I was excited, desperate to hear the results, I actually wanted it to be truly positive, I wanted you to be my family, because we connected really well, I feel comfortable with you, Lucia said maybe, the face or my heart was longing for you, fine, at first I was attracted to you but the truth is, I would had prefer family, I wonder if you are related to me, through my father or my grandmother like my aunt.

The next morning, I was the first to reach the lab, then he gave me the results, my hands were shaking, I was scared and anxious at same time, is like he was watching my confusion state then he had to read it to me. It was positive, Your blood and my dad's and grandmother's blood matches.

What do you mean?

Yes, your mother is my aunt and the twin sister of my dad. Barbara closed her mouth, as Gordon keeps narrating how they were related, she is actually, Gordon's cousin. That instance Barbara burst in tears, but were tears of joy, anxiety, belongings, finding one soul from her biological parents, she didn't bother to answer about her mother nor her father, she was just okay with the fact that Gordon is her family, her true blood.

For years, she long for the protection of a sibling, a big brother that is related to her, not just someone that take special interest in her for one reason or the other.

Now, Barbara know that Gordon is related to her but have no idea of why Gordon keep it as a secret from her. How long have you know, that we are related?

The very day that your scandal with Dante escalate, so I had you follow, I was scared when I find out that you are leaving the Calvin's and when you finally arrived at your grandfather, I was at peace, so I made arrangements to follow you there, I want to get to know my sister, my one true sister.

What about Lucia?

She is adopted, she was adopted by me. Barbara look at him. Stop staring with time, you get to understand everything.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was too scared, too scared that you might pushed me away and hate me for...

Of cause not, how could I hate my brother. This time she grabbed him then kiss his two cheeks, Barbara and Gordon cry, Gordon couldn't hold his tears, he too also cry, Gordon caress her hair then patted her back, Indirectly telling her that is time to stop the tears.

You should tell me about grandmother, do you know my...

Barbara, we two can always talk about that, some other time, what you should be more focus on is getting yourself a husband. Barbara facepalm herself, she had forgotten the situation at hand. Shit! What am I going to do now? Gordon look at her, seeing her distraction, he inhale loud, one of the reasons Mr Calvin didn't want him to tell her about their relationship, is the fact that, he wasn't ready to tell Barbara about her biological mother, there is no way he will make that mania get closer to his daughter. Don't you have male friends?

Barbara asked, he shakes his head. Oh! Jeffrey, why didn't I thought of him? Gordon look at her shock.

Why Jeffrey?

Don't you like him.

You, do you like him for a husband? Gordon asked, she shakes her head, not that Jeffrey is all bad, Barbara and him doesn't seem to connect to the extent of wanting him to be her husband. Then look for someone else.

I Know, someone... She scream loud, Gordon look at her. Where is James?

What? You are going to asked James to marry you? Gordon yelled, Barbara burst in laughter, seeing that look on Gordon's face.

Stop it, I only want him to take me to general Riley.

Dante's friend? Barbara nodded to him, she peck him and run out. What is wrong with this girl? Should I just tell her to go for Dante? Can't she see the man love her? He fall back to the couch.

****

To do what? Kathleen asked.

Haha! This crazy friend of mine.

Stop laughing at me.

I am not Laughing at you but the truth is, general Riley will never agree to marry you...

Stop talking nonsense, he will, is not like I am going to tie him down with the marriage, after dad surgery, we will go our separate ways.

Fine then, wish you luck, I will pay dad a visit later with father.

Bye then. Barbara ended the call in anger, in no time, they are at general Riley's Villa, she was usher in by his steward.
