Chapter 27: Chapter 27

The next morning, Daren got up from bed and frowned at the excessive amount of head pounds he got due to his alcohol exhibition last night.

"Good morning, My drunken fake husband"

He veers and took notice of the cup of hot steamy coffee in my hand, he adds and waits for me, as I pulled out a cup over to him.

He gulps down and didn't say anything, not after he finally got himself, he turned and said, "what did you just call me a while ago?".

It seems that the effect of the alcohol has been washed off from his eyes, it was now time to let him explain that odd statement he sends to me.

"Darren!! Let me something, what did you ask me if I truly was Karol Fisher?".  I inquired and saw how dumb he acted heeding to my words, "I don't understand? What do you mean? Did I say such to you?" He asks.

Darren's behavior towards my question, got me to understand that his oblivious to what happened last night, stating from his odd behavior and words to me, a cloud of relief hovered around, and thankfully everything Alvin's said was nothing but the effect of the alcohol he consumed.

(Two hours later)

Alvin got a call and left for the hospital, I also left to visit my aunt, based on the conversation we had last night!! We had so much to speak with each other.

So I drove to our favorite coffee shop, it was the place aunt and I would speak to avoid prying eyes and ears from heeding to our conversation, especially Tori!! My cousin.

"Hello Aunt". I walked into the store and saw her seated waiting for me, she pins a weak smile and tugged me for a warm hug.

"How are you baby," she asked and sat me down next to her, I donned a fake smile and aunt knew whenever I try to force a smile something was wrong, so she asked, "what's a wrong baby!! Did anything happen?".

I hoisted my head and approved her words, "yes aunt!! Something happened?" I said.

(Inaudible conversation)

( A while later)

A flabbergasted glare draped around aunt's face, she lifted her head and thanked God for not letting Darren know the truth after repays her eyes to me.

"Hmm!! Luckily, Darren didn't know anything and has for your contracted father-in-law, let him be for now, because if we keep attacking him it might trail Darren over to us and he will get to know the hidden truth, am sure we don't know that right?".

Aunts words made sense to me and decerning how suspicious Darren was already of me, a single mistake can trigger the whole world to end if the truth gets uncovered.

"Yes aunt!! You are right! We should back down from attacking Mr. Smith for now and let him be". I answered jerking my head.

"I never said we should take a rest from getting our plans? Now we need to look at a different perspective?" (A sly smile on).

"What are you thinking aunt? What other perspective, are you talking about?". ( I asked oblivious to what she thought).

So aunt proceeds once again, " although I told you to give Mr. Smith a breather because now we need to get the entire property under Darren's name transferred over to you".

"Property papers? Transferred to me? You know Darren won't ever give his whole life's work to be voluntary, it's either I drug him or make him fall in love with me".
