Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Come on grandpa, you all heard it that he is my boyfriend.

I know that is the reason I asked which of them because it's obvious you don't know anything about him and if you keep on, your dad will find out the truth.

Fine, grandpa but you will keep it as a secret.

My lips are sealed, so go on.

Fine, I just need a fucking boyfriend to appear with me at the ball after that jerk of Derrick break up with me, I was so frustrated attending a ball without a date, so I option for Ad that rent date to female, it's was Kathleen that book the appointment for me, so when I got there, I saw him, so that is how I got the fake boyfriend, I am sorry.

Grandpa Jarius pushed his hand into her hair then pushed it back.

It's fine my daughter, I know you two don't know anything about yourself and you lie to him that about your name and status.

I was scared that he might end up blackmailing me.

Silly girl.

I am sorry, I only did that because I was scared that you are going to matchmake me with someone I don't love and I don't want to marry someone I don't love, I want to marry someone who love me for who I am not because I am from the Calvin's family. I am really sorry.

Stop apologizing.

You are not mad at me?

Of cause, I am not mad at you, the young man is handsome...

Grandpa, he is not my boyfriend.

I know, you could make it real, he care about you, he doesn't look like a bad boy.

Grandpa, you don't know that annoying punk.

Grandpa Jarius smiled at her words.

It's getting late, let me leave you to rest, don't worry yourself about that loony, I will get a better boyfriend, I just need time and don't worry I will give prince William chance if he calls.

That is the reason you are the best granddaughter in the world. Barbara peck him.

Goodnight and journey mercy for tomorrow

Sweet dreams and thank you. She smiled then leave the room, grandpa Jarius smiled, he is satisfied with the man his granddaughter pick, he had seen him at the party the previous night but he thought his eyes are playing a fast one on him, so he decided to investigate the act, his private investigator had messaged him about everything, how Dante ended up with his granddaughter, the only part, he doesn't know is, why the young man decided to play his granddaughter fake boyfriend?

He would had said it's from business purposes but the young man had find out about her, after the deal, he is still going to keep an eye on the him, even though he like the young man, his granddaughter's happiness is very important to him.

The family is keeping secret from her, secret about her biological parents, putting her in danger is another thing they will not added to the betrayal.

****

Dante arrived very late the previous night, he is up already but he is still lying on his bed with his eyes closed, Jayden is looking at him.

Stop staring at me.

Hey, how did you know I am staring at you?

You should know those time, I attended military school and those worthless training I get all in the name of been an elite.

Naughty boy! How did your dinner go?

I was late, she scolded me again and everyone in that bloody dinning recognize me, except her dad and sister.

That is bad.

Yep but they all think that we are on a low key relationship.

Is that what they told you?

Nope! What I think, idiot. Dante sit on the bed with his legs on the floor.

You silly, Scarlett was furious.

Why? Did dog bit her?

Dante!

Stop calling me, I cancelled she get mad, is she for real.

You cancel because of a woman,I don't understand you.

That reminds me, I need you to find out the boy that broke her heart.

What for?

You should know, I want to punish him.

Dante, what have he done to you?

You should know the slightest wrong done to me, doesn't go unpunished and even if it's not on me, I am still going to punish the person.

But...

Yes, he did me wrong, if he haven't break her heart then she wouldn't had punch me. Jayden look at him, he pulled his legs into his slippers the stand from the bed.

Which means you are no longer going to punish Barbara anymore? He titter then look at Jayden.

She is still my number one culprit. He pushed the door of his bathroom, Jayden watching him go into it, he doesn't understand any thing about this mysterious friend of his.

****

The next morning, Barbara wake up really late, having that little talk with her grandpa and Kathleen chatting her up all night is exhausting, she struggles into the bathroom, getting into her wears her phone is ringing.

This naughty girl again. She pick after complaining. Hey Kathleen, how was your night?

Stop acting like you haven't complained before taking the call.

Fine, I did but that doesn't stop me from asking about your stupid night.

My night wasn't stupid, it was blissful, in fact I dream of my new crush.

Kathleen please, not now, I am running late for work.

Fine, goodbye.

Wait, why did you call?

Jeffrey is back and he said he is going to surprise you at work today, so I want you to look your best.

Stupid girl, Jeffrey is not my crush that I have to impress him anyways thanks for the update, see you later.

I am not coming.

Why?

Dad is sending me to his client's house.

Idiot, when did you become a lawyer.

Like now, get off my phone.

Haha! Have a nice day.

Sure, you too. Barbara gather her stuff, she was hurrying down the stairs, she had an appointment and she is almost late.

Good morning my lady!

Good morning, I am skipping breakfast...

Why is that? Calvin speak from behind her, she frown abit. Young lady, I asked, the reason for it.

Dad, I have an appointment by 8:30 and I almost late, I can't afford to keep them waiting, please let me skip this.

Fine, only for today, you should not starve yourself for some worthless meeting.

Noted dad! And Grandpa!

He is gone, he left very early this morning, he asked me to give you this.

Whoa! I wonder what will be inside.

You can only Know when you open it.

I will but for now I got to go. She peck Calvin. Bye Mom! Hazel wave back at her, as she hurry out, Claudia walked lazily into the living room, Calvin look at her then Hazel.

Please don't give me that look, if you want to scold your daughter do that.

Perfect, I don't like Derrick for you.

What?

Yes, I don't want to see you two together in fact, you two should break up.

Come on dad, you are been unfair to me again, Barbara brought a boy that we don't know anything about him, yet you didn't asked about his background

I didn't because your grandfather approved of it but Derrick, he didn't approve of him.

And what stupid reason...

Claudia! Calvin called raising his hand to slap her, Hazel stand in front of the two.

My Lord, please forgive her, I beg you.

Fine but I don't want to see that boy here again and tell him to keep his eyes off Barbara, I don't like the way, he is staring at my princess.

Calvin walked out without also having his breakfast, Hazel look at Claudia.

I am going to kill Barbara, how dare she run me off to Grandpa, that wretch of a girl.

Claudia, I am tired of you and this stupid relationship you called love, you should stop it, if your grandfather doesn't want him for...

I will not quit, none of them care about me, have grandpa ever treat me like his granddaughter, all he do is praise Barbara in front of me like I am nothing and dad, is acting like Barbara is his child, they don't care about me. Derrick is my happiness and that is what I will keep, so tell your husband to do whatever he wants, I am not quitting, if I am to quit then Barbara will also stop seeing that punk of a boyfriend that Barbara is using her money to turn into a star.

Claudia!

Stop it mom, I am keeping Derrick and there is nothing anyone could do. She dart out of the dinning as well, Hazel hit her head slightly with her palm.

My lady, should I...

Idiot, you should have the breakfast yourself. She too dart out of the dinning, no one had breakfast that morning.
