Chapter 65
TASHA
The death of dad really didn’t come as a shock to because I knew one thing was certain, Darrell wasn’t gonna let dad go.
I still feel a bit pained by his death after all, he was my father. Even though I hated him, I still couldn’t stop loving him.
Today was his funeral ceremony and expected, Darrell and Asher didn’t show up.
I mean who would? they clearly hated him as much as he hated them too.
“Baby are you still crying”
“No, I’m not” I sniffled and cleaned my eyes.
“You know he deserved it right”
“I do”
“You didn’t expect Darrell to let him go Scot free. He was gonna kill them if he did. He even tried to kill me and if I had my way I probably wouldn’t have attended his funeral”
“I know that”
“Your father was well known but only a few people attended his funeral. I guess they all knew he was wicked”
“I know that and you’re not helping issues at all” I frowned.
“Oh, sorry. Come on, I made lunch and you must eat”
“Of course, I can’t miss eating your delicious food”
“You can say that again. Even you know I cook better than you”
“That’s not true”
“Of course, it is”
“You’re so full of yourself” I muttered. Honestly, he does cook better than me but I’m not gonna admit it.
“So you admit it”
“OK fine maybe you cook a bit better but right now, I’m hungry”
“At least, you admitted it”
“I said maybe” I rolled my eyes.
“You’re such a big liar” he said and drew the dining seat out for me and I sat down.
“Let me dish out the food”
“Nope, you’re pregnant”
“How does pregnancy affect me dishing out the food”
“I don’t want you stressing yourself out. Come on, eat” I don’t regret marrying Xander at all.
“You’re so sweet”
He chuckled. “You made me sweet. You made me who I am today, you made me feel what I thought I would never feel for any woman, love”
“Awwwwn, I’m blushing now”
He chuckled. “Eat up already and don’t stsrve my baby”
I smiled softly and started eating.
“Hmm, it’s nice”
“I’m glad you love it”
“I’ll love to hang out with Claire and Daniela tomorrow”
“OK”
The telecom in the sitting room rang. “I’ll go get that”
“The gatekeeper says someone is here to see you”
“Who is that? I’m not expecting anyone”
“Chloe Camila” I gasped. Mom? I thought she died. Dad told me she died.
DARRELL
“You know what Darrell”
“What”
“You just reactivated my mood”
“What”
“And re-energised it. We are going to the amusement park” Why now?
“I thought you said you wanted to go home”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Well, I changed my mind”
“I wanna ride the rollercoaster”
“You’re pregnant and it’s not safe to ride that”
“Uhm, you’re right baby” Phew, thank God.
“Then you can ride it for me”
“What” Oh God, this woman wants to kill me before my time.
“Daisy I can’t”
“You’re not doing this for me but for the babies” she pouted rubbing her stomach.
“The babies? how I’m I doing this for them”
“They told me they wanna see their daddy ride a rollercoaster”
“You’re so bad at lying”
“You’re such a killjoy” she said and starting crying. I don’t know if she’s doing it on purpose or it’s her hormones but I hate to see her cry. How on earth I’m I supposed to tell her that I don’t ride rollercoasters because I’m allergic to it.
“Daisy don’t cry. OK, fine. I’ll ride the rollercoaster”
“Really”
“Yeah”
“You’re such a darling” “Darrell you got this” Daisy screamed giggling.
The rollercoaster soon started moving and the people on the ride were screaming but mine was the loudest. This is not fun.
Oh God, I’m gonna throw up and I’m starting to get dizzy. The ride finally stopped and I couldn’t even walk well, I was damn weak.
“Darrell are you OK”
“I’m fine” No, I’m not fine. I suddenly threw up.
“Darrell you’re vomiting” I sounded panic in her voice. I think some people started taking pictures. Geez, I’m gonna be on the news.
“Is that not Darrell Bingwen”
“OMG! he’s so cute but why is he vomiting”
“Yuck! that’s disgusting” Oh God, I’m gonna kill somebody?
“Darrell what’s wrong with you”
“Nothing Daisy. I’m fine” I held her hands and looked at her eyes but I could still see panic in them.
“Here water” a middle aged woman said giving Daisy a bottle water and she made me wash my mouth with it.
“Thank you so much ma’am”
“You’re welcome dear. You should take him home”
“Maybe I should never have let you ride the rollercoaster” Now she feels guilty.
“Daisy I’m fine” I cupped her cheeks.
“No, you’re not. You can’t even stand properly” she bit her lips sadly.
“Let’s just go home”
ASHER
“Uncle Asher is food not ready yet” Zach pouted.
“Maybe you should go help your Aunt in the kitchen rather than stay here and complain”
“My aunt? are you and aunty Daniela getting married”
“Soon”
“That’s great. Daddy and mummy are also getting married”
“Yeah” I smiled.
“OK hungry lions. Food is ready”
“Hungry lions” I furrowed my brows at her.
“Yeah”
“Well, this lion is hungry for something else. Maybe you can give it to me” I winked.
“A kid is here” Zach furrowed his brows at us but didn’t say anything and I’m glad he didn’t. I’m not in the mood for answer and question session.
Daniela dished the food out and we soon started eating.
“Taste nice”
“Thanks”
A notification dinged on my phone and I clicked on it.
FAMOUS BUSINESS MOGUL DARRELL BINGWEN VOMITS AFTER A RIDE IN A ROLLERCOASTER
And they had the guts to add a laughing emoji to it. Why the hell did Darrell ride a rollercoaster? He doesn’t go on those, the first time, he did, he became terribly ill and he was eight and since then, the doctor warned him never to go on such ride.
Why the hell did Claire let him go on those? I pray nothing happens to him.
CLAIRE
The ride home was a silent one, I had to drive there was no way I was letting him drive in that condition. Maybe he’s mad at me, he has every right to be.
I can’t believe I hurt him, I didn’t mean too, I just wanted him to have some fun. I guess I’m gonna have to learn how to control my mood swings.
It’s not really my fault you know, the doctor did say mine was gonna be on the high side because I’m carrying triplets.
“Daisy, I’m not mad at you and it’s not your fault” he finally spoke.
“Trying to make me feel better. Of course, it’s my fault. I should never have asked to ride those”
“Daisy I said it’s fine” I nodded.
***
We walked into the house and as I had expected I got scolded.
“Darrell are you okay” Asher asked.
“I’m fine”
“No, you’re not. Claire why the hell did you let me brother ride a rollercoaster” Here it comes
“I’m sorry” I muttered.
“Sorry? don’t you know that Darrell is allergic to rollercoasters? he tends to get sick when he rides them. What if something bad has happened to him” Daniela stood beside him and tried to pacify his anger.
He’s allergic to rollercoasters, how come I didn’t know?
“Asher I said it’s fine”
“He’s right I caused this but how on earth was I supposed to know he’s allergic to rollercoasters, he didn’t tell me about it. I know you care about your brother but I do too and I wouldn’t want to see him hurt” I yelled in tears.
“Asher you said too much” Darrell said pulling me into a hug.
“I’m sorry I should never have yelled at you. I just got scared, I’m sorry”
“It’s fine. I should be the one apologizing”
“Darrell why didn’t tell me you are tell me you are allergic to rollercoasters”
“If I told you, would you have believed me”
“Of course”
“You wouldn’t have” I guess he his right. I would have thought he was lying and probably cried my eyes out
“Don’t ever do that again. Don’t ever risk your life to please me. Promise me” I said and hugged him tight. I don’t know what I would do if I lost him. I love him so much.
“I promise”
“Maybe we should seal this with a kiss”
I disengaged from the hug immediately. “Maybe you should brush your teeth first. You vomited remember”
“I washed my mouth remember” he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me to himself”
“No, no, no. Darrell no” I said and tried to free myself from his grip.
He kissed me at once and shoved his tongue deep in my mouth. I’m gonna puke, I just tasted his vomit
He let go of me and grinned.
“How was it”
“Horrible” I said and rushed out of the sitting room and I heard them laugh. Darrell is so mean.
