Her, his desire

Her Dad has ruined her, her friendship with Sadie.

Sadie will never want to be friends with her against after knowing that Lani’s Dad almost killed and destroyed their lives.

Sadie will hate her!

That very moment, Lani’s hatred for her Dad developed to it’s peak.

” Baby ” Galen called to her with his heart tightening in disappointment.

It hurt him so much that even his own daughter is withdrawing from him.

” I am not your baby, how can you be this evil Dad to plot against your own brother? You lied to me and mum, you told us lies about you and we belied you ”

” I so much hate you Dad, I despise you for lying to me, I hate you for being a murderer. The same amount of hate you have for your brother and his family is the same amount of hate I have for you ”

Lani said in tears, she just can’t believe the man she had always looked up to as her mentor after her mum’s death is not just so good.

How could he?

Galen gulped with his heart breaking into pieces, he knows this was going to happen but he hates to believe it will happen so soon.

He never wanted his only child to be this mad at him.

” I.. I am sorry baby I…..”

Galen was cut off by the voice of the inspector.

” We are sorry but his time is up, you all can leave then we take him back to the cell. His court trial will be related to you later today ” inspector Cole said .

Two other cops jacked Galen up roughly dragging him away.

Nathan held Sadie who felt like she was going to slump down any time soon.

Everything is overwhelming her and too real to be a dream.

Sadie has never thought of this all her life.

” Let’s leave here ” Kelvin instructed storming his fit angrily while the rest went after him.

Alex stayed with Lani, he found everything confusing trying to process them slowly.

Does that mean his girlfriend and Sadie are sisters?

Of course dummy! They are ! Isn’t it obvious?

When they were out of the station, Lani found herself running to her best friend.

She doesn’t care if her they accept her as their daughter and sister, all Lani cares about is her friendship with Sadie.

She doesn’t want to loose their years of friendship. Lani values it so much.

With tears streaming down her cheeks, she held Sadie by her hand.

” I am sorry, I am sorry for whatever my Dad has done to you. Please forgive me and don’t call off our friendship Sadie, I am sorry ”

Lani pleaded in tears hugging her sister and best friend tightly.

Sadie was taken aback by her apology, why is Lani apologising?

She haven’t done anything to her.

At that moment, everyone stopped walking staring at the duo.

Kelvin had pity on his niece. She might have valued her friendship with his daughter so much.

Galen was right, when they say the sin of the father visits the son, it wasn’t with him .

It can never be, Kelvin doesn’t have the heart to hurt his niece for whatever Galen did to him

What amuses him most is the fact that he doesn’t know how Galen had his daughter.

He was never in a relationship back then, either way.

His niece is equally his daughter, he will accept her and treat her the same way he treats his own children so she wouldn’t feel guilty for what she knew nothing about.

Sadie sighed holding Nathan for support, she almost fell down at the sudden grab at her hand by Lani.

” Lani. ..” she called holding her up.

” I am sorry Sadie, I am sorry , I am sorry. . ” Lani kept murmuring while sniffing.

” Calm down Lani, I am not mad at you or blaming you for what your dad did to us. I am not mad at all so stop beating yourself to it ”

Sadie said sincerely.

Lani’s head snapped up blinking like a baby.

” You are not mad at me?” She asked.

Sadie shook her head in response.

” We.. we are still friends? Am I still your best friend?” Lani asked anxiously while Sadie chuckled.

” You are not just my best friend Lani, you are also my sister. Nothing is going to change that okay?” Sadie said wiping Lani’s tears.

Lani’s face brighten up, she hugged her best friend tightly.

The rest groaned, they have no option than to accept her but will have a hard time adjusting to everything.

She wasn’t the one that tried to kill them anyways.

” Thank you, thank you, thank you” Lani said continuously.

When they broke away from the hug, Lani stared at the rest cautiously before bowing her head in shame. ..

” I… I… I … I am sorry for what you all went through because of my Dad….” She trailed off without knowing what else to say.

” C’mon princess, we will not hold that against you. Come give your uncle a hug, you are part of our family and I am sure you are nothing like my brother ”

Kelvin said spreading his arms widely.

Shock flashed through Lani’s face for a moment before her smile widened. She never thought they will forgive and accept her this easily.

Flying over Sadie, she threw herself into Kelvin’s arm burying her head on his chest while muttering ‘ I am sorry Uncle ‘ in a low-pitched voice.

They all took turns to hug her and officially welcomed her into the family.

” I will be your mother, be free with me okay?” Loretta said to her.

Lani sniffed in the nodded her head excitedly.

Forgetting her Dad going to jail any time soon, she decided to get to know her new founded family.

It’s a thing of joy for Lani.

**************

Both Nathan and Sadie sat down totally exhausted on the sofa. Today’s rollercoaster wasn’t that very funny.

Nathan quickly placed his head on Sadie’s thigh before she could complain.

And she didn’t, instead, she began playing with his hair.

” How are you feeling wifey?” Nathan asked .

Sadie sighed, she doesn’t know exactly how she is feeling.

All the feelings are just over whelming.

” I don’t know Nathan, I feel overly excited, overwhelmed by the happenings around me for quite some times now ”

She replied sincerely.

Nathan took her hand and kissed it lightly.

” Don’t worry baby, everything will be fine okay?” He said.

Sadie nodded her head with a smile.

” Thank you for everything Nathan, thank you for being there for me and with me ” she appreciated plainly.

Nathan quickly stole a kiss from her.

” Anything for you wifey, it’s my duty to always be there for you. Heaven will be very mad at me if that doesn’t happen ”

Even after everything, staying close to Nathan made her feel so good. She felt lightheaded.

They just sat there without saying anything while enjoying each other’s company.

” Baby, mum and Dad called ” Nathan broke the silence after a while.

Sadie already knew it’d be his parents.

” Okay, how are they doing?” She asked.

” They are very good, you know it’s been a while we visited them on a norms ” he said and she nodded.

” They asked us to come over today for dinner, and guess what?”

” What?” She asked with a chuckle.

” We might have a sleep over there, I am very sure Dad won’t let us come back so be prepared ” Nathan added.

Sadie’s eyes went to the clock in the sitting room.

It’s already 4pm.

They have really spent a lot of time in the station, it was worth it though.

” When are we leaving?” She asked.

” By 6pm are you cool with that?” He asked back.

” yeah, it’s okay by me ”

” 6pm it is, babe let’s go take a cool shower, we are taking a bath together, no objection ” Nathan said with a tone of finality.

Sadie blushed shaking her head, the thought of taking a shower with Nathan brought goosebumps over her body.

She trust Nathan to make use of that opportunity.

” No, we are not taking a shower together period ” she replied in her tiny voice.

Nathan stood up with a playful glare.

” We are ”

” We are not ”

” We are ”

” We are not ”

They kept arguing till Nathan gave up on that but not on what he said earlier. He really meant it when he said they will take a shower together.

He can’t stop imagining what he will do to her under the shower, the thought alone is turning him on.

Before Sadie could say a thing, he flung her over his shoulder.

” What? Put me down Nathan, put me down ” she said hitting his back which made Nathan laughed in excitement.

Her punch felt like nothing, he is not feeling a single pain from the hut she is giving him.

” No baby, we are going straight to shower ” he said huskily.

The maids stayed in a corner staring at the cute couples.

Young Mrs has changed their Young Master a lot. He wasn’t this free before now until young Mrs came into the picture.

” I am so going to cut off your prick and feed it to a shack ”

She yelled but Nathan ignored her tantrum carrying her upstairs to their room.

★ Two months later … ★

Sadie sighed looking around the room she has lived in for a week and few days.

She has stayed witt her family for days and although Nathan has been here almost everyday.

She will miss it and her family too, they are all going back to California anyways.

She is okay staying here in New York City with Nathan by her side.

That is more than okay, she trust him to take good care of her. He will go to any length to make her happy.

If Nathan had not showed up in the hospital after she was stabbed, who knows, Sadie wouldn’t have met anyone that will love her more than he do.

Nathan already packed her things to his car since yesterday evening.

That is how eager he is to bring his wife back home.

He just can’t wait to take Sadie home, their home and have some alone time with her.

” Ready?” Nathan asked as he popped his head through the door.

Taking another look at the room, Sadie nodded her head.

” Yes ” she replied walking to the door which is now widely opened for her to pass.

Nathan gave her his hand and she placed hers without hesitation, they both began walking down the stairs.

Loretta was the first to pull Sadie into a hug, she hugged her daughter so tight like she is just getting married and about to be taken to her husband’s house.

” Do not give your husband too much problem okay?”

Loretta whispered in Sadie’s ears while she rolled her eyes.

Is her Mum choosing her husband over her?

Kelvin gazed at Nathan for some seconds before clearing his throat.

Nathan gulped, stepped back a bit in case his father in-law wants to punch him again.

He is never afraid of anyone like he is afraid of his father in-law.

Not even his own Dad is he so much scared of.

” I am entrusting my daughter to you Son, you know we will be leaving in three days. I trust you to take care of her and also protect her as well ”

Kelvin said to Nathan, Sadie cooed lied a baby. This is what her Mum should have said not the other way round.

Nathan nodded his head, even without being told, he will protect Sadie and their kids with his life .

He love her so much to see her getting hurt again, all he want is for them is a happily ever after.

” I love her Dad, and I also promise to protect her from any harm ”

Nathan replied confidently, at least he wasn’t going to kick or punch him real hard like he did when Sadie went missing.

Kelvin nodded his head.

” I trust you ”

He replied gesturing Sadie to give him a hug.

They all took turns to hug Sadie including little Mel, the only person that did not hug her was Dylan.

Not because of anything but the daggers Nathan was throwing at him, if he mistakenly hug Sadie, Nathan might kill him right here.

Dylan still wants to see his Mum and see Mel grow up into a fine and independent young woman.

Sofia hugged Sadie with a bright smile on her face.

Sadie saw it as an opportunity to ask her how yesterday went.

” Are you two cool?” She whispered into her sister’s ear. Just for the two of them to hear.

Sofia blushed from the question, after Sadie left her room yesterday, Dylan came in and they talk things out.

Dylan apologized to her sincerely, she saw how sincere his apology was and she couldn’t say no.

They made up, remembering how Dylan promised to stay miles away from touching her when he entered into her room yesterday, she smiled.

He did not keep his promise, he did draw her closer to himself just to tell Sofia that he might be developing a feeling for her.

Sofia was shocked, shocked that she wasn’t expecting Dylan to confess that to her.

She feel same for him too but she is not sure if she is feeling attraction towards him or it’s likeness.

They both have decided to keep things slow between them.

Sofia nodded her head in response.

” Thank you so much Sadie ”

She said as they broke away from the hug. Sadie winked in return.

Max was next, he playfully touched Sadie’s hair just to annoy her.

He got his answers through her glares which made him laugh.

Sadie decided to mess with her elder brother a little.

While they were hugging, she initiated a conversation.

” I have this close male friend, he is leaving in California you know, hot, sexy and has a killer body ”

She said and paused waiting for her brother’s reaction but got none.

She smirked, that was a clue for her to continue.

” And to top it all, he is as single as heck. I was thinking, since you are not ready to put a ring on Matilda’s hand, the two will be a perfect match, I will bring them tog…”

” Don’t you dare finish that statement if you don’t want me to drag you by the hair ”

Max growled in displeasure cutting off Sadie from completing her word, he pulled out from the hug with a frown, it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Matilda has always been his from the start, no one will dare take her away from him or come close to her.

He does not mind going to prison while fighting to make her his with anyone that tries him.

He will break their bones, the thought of that angered him.

Sadie laughed in satisfaction, her brother is too slow. It’s high time he propose to Matilda, that lady has been more of a sister to her.

The kind of sister in-law everyone will pray to have. Matilda is just too good.

” Then do the needful or else, she will be gone ”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Sadie said grinning

Max matched forward to Sadie’s place but she scurried away throwing herself in Nathan’s arms for protection while she was laughing.

Nathan held her protectively using his back as a shield from Max.

He knows Max will not hit her anyways.

” I love you everyone, Mum Dad take care. I will meet you all at the airport before you leave for California ”

Sadie said and ran out leaving everyone smiling at her.

Nathan shook his head at his wife’s behaviour then bowed respectfully before everyone, with that, he left.

Nathan met Sadie standing by his car.

He gently opened the car door for him like the gentleman he is before jogging to the driver’s seat.

Nathan grinned and stole a quick kiss from his wife then roaring the engine to life.
