Chapter 45
CLAIRE’S POV
“I wonder what he’s about to say” I muttered.
“I am Lee Bingwen and I would love to say a big congratulations to newly weds. I must say I don’t think they want their daughter to end up with a murderer and a child trafficker”
Everyone one started murmuring to themselves. What is he talking about?
“What are you talking about Lee? Stop spilling nonsense” I yelled at him. I looked at Darrell and saw he was silent but obviously very angry.
“I see Claire you are actually blinded by this thing you call love. Darrell had a son, killed the mother of the child and sold the baby” Everyone gasped at what he said. I was in shock too, Darrell wouldn’t do that.
“You’ve gotten this desperate Lee as to cook up lies about me? What the fuck are you trying to prove” Darrell smacked angrily.
“Oh yes. How can I forget, you were always a better actor. Claire, Darrell has been playing you all along. Ask him who the fuck Lora is”
“Darrell is it true” I asked in tears.
“Come on Daisy, you know me too well. If I did have a son, why on earth will I kill his mama and sell my child”
“Maybe because you never wanted the child”
“Shut up Lee” Asher yelled angrily.
“Who is Lora”
“Lora was Asher’s bestie and she had a crush on me but I didn’t feel the same way. I got drunk at a frat party and we ended up having sex. I was just seventeen then and she never told me she was fucking pregnant”
“Don’t believe any word of his Claire, of course he knew about it. Can’t you see that little boy is his fucking son, him getting close to you was part of his plan. Don’t be stupid Claire…”
“Just shut up!” I yelled. I don’t know who to believe. Did Darrell really do that or Lee is just cooking up lies.
“Daisy…” he tried to touch me.
“Don’t touch me”
“God, Daisy after all we’ve been through you chose to believe him? I love you, why would I lie to you maybe you don’t love me enough” he yelled and I felt my eyes water uncontrollably.
“Darrell…”
“I least expected this from you, you just Lee destroy our relationship” he huffed and proceeded to walk out but I hugged him from behind. I wanna be with you Darrell, why should I let you go?
“Let go of me Daisy”
“No Darrell. I believe you and don’t ever say that I don’t love you. I love you Darrell and I wanna be with you and no one else”
I could feel him smiling, he held my waist and made me face him.
“Took you so long to say that”
“I know”
“I’m sorry for yelling at you”
“I’m sorry for not believing at first and maybe if you didn’t yell at me, I probably wouldn’t have believed you”
“I love you Daisy and I would never lie to you”
“I know” I smiled as he pulled me into a slow and passionate kiss.
“What more tricks have you got Lee, obviously, these two can’t be separated. Give up!”
“No Asher. I won’t give up you should know this is serious case. I’m gonna sue your brother to court and trust me Asher, he’s gonna end up in prison!”
We both pulled out of the kiss at the mention of the word ‘prison’.
“And you are next Asher” he smirked at him.
“I don’t think so Lee, actually your dad is the one I’m gonna send to prison”
“Darrell I’ve got the evidence, you can’t escape the law”
“Fake evidence!. You seem to be forgotten something Lee, I am Darrell Bingwen, I can easily find my way out of any trap you set”
“Just accept it Darrell, you lost this time. Maybe you are not as smart as you claim”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Actually Lee, I’m ten times smarter than you will ever be”
“I don’t think so Darrell. If you were that smart, how couldn’t you possibly know that you had a child seven years ago”
“Actually Lee I am more smarter than you cause you just spilled the beans you fool” Darrell grabbed hold of his collar and gave him a punch on the face that left a bruise on his face.
“Pass this message to your dad, tell him, I’m gonna make sure he rots in jail. He crossed the line this time by messing with my family!”
“Fuck you Darrell! You can do nothing” Darrell gave him another punch that made him crash on the ground.
“OK. That’s enough, you guys don’t wanna fight in my party” mom yelled. People had already began to leave the reception hall. Great job Lee, you just ruined a perfectly good party.
“And who the fuck let you in”
“I sponsored your wedding of course I was invited here”
“What the fuck are you talking about? So many other people sponsored my wedding and I don’t think you are one of them”
“Ask your husband”
“Adrian, what is he talking about”
“It’s true Ellie, he did sponsor our wedding but he told me he was Claire’s friend from highschool and it was supposed to be a surprise”
“How could you Adrian? Daisy doesn’t keep male friends”
“You didn’t have any male friends in highschool” Asher asked.
“Not really. Well I did though in junior high”
“That’s weird”
“How was I supposed to know”
“Why did you tell me about it? I hate it when you keep things to yourself”
“Mom. Dad. It’s enough, you really shouldn’t blame dad, Lee is cunning”
“That hurt coming from you Claire”
“Don’t you give up? How many times I’m I gonna slam it into your ears that I don’t want you, I don’t need, I don’t fucking love you. Why won’t you let me be Lee? If you are desperate to find a girlfriend, why don’t you look for one and leave me alone!”
“You heard her Lee, stay away from my fiancee and tell your dad to watch his back”
Lee laughed. “Very funny Darrell, very funny, you should watch your back cousin… I want to redraw my sponsorship of this wedding”
“What”
“You heard me”
“Lee you bastard!” Dad yelled at him.
“How much”
“One million dollars” What the fuck that alot of money.
Mom smacked dad’s shoulders, “Adrain, why on earth would you accept that huge amount of money without telling me”
“I’m sorry. It won’t happen again”
“One million dollars? What? did you borrow a loan to get that you know since your business is bankrupt now”
“That should be my business Darrell”
“Well, it’s my business now Lee. Are you trying to mock me or you are trying to mock yourself” Darrell smirked.
“Oh my God, Darrell is badass”
“I’m glad you know that”
“Fuck you Darrell!”
“One million dollars is a meagre amount of money Lee. How could you get that poor to redraw a sponsorship. I’m not a bad cousin Lee, my company is in need of a janitor, you can apply. Don’t worry, you will get the job” I couldn’t help but chuckle. God, that was funny.
“Not funny Darrell. Actually I changed my mind, I don’t want the money again. I want Claire instead” How dare him?
“What? are you crazy? Do I look a commodity to you”
“How dare you? You’re trying to buy my fiancee”
“It’s business Darrell”
“You bastard! What makes you think I will let you have my daughter”
“You don’t have a choice here and I don’t think you want to end up in prison either”
“I dare you Lee”
“You can do nothing Darrell. I don’t think you want Claire’s parents to spend their lives in jail”
“Bastard! you are insane!” mom yelled.
“One last chance Lee. Don’t make me ruin you for life”
“You can do nothing Darrell. I dare you!”
“Fuck! You brought this upon yourself” Darrell brought out his phone and made a phone call. I wonder who he’s calling.
“Who is he calling”
“You will find out soon”
“Do it” Darrell said and ended the phone call.
“What did you do Darrell?
“I just ruined you now life. Congratulations Lee, you’re now completely bankrupt. My job offer as a janitor still stands”
“How dare you Darrell? You went too far” he yelled and tried to punch Darrell but he held his hands and cleared him off the floor.
“That’s what you get for messing with me? Dala, Enzo”
“Yes boss”
“Put Lee on the next flight to Singapore”
“No Darrell. You can’t do this to me. I will kill you” he yelled as he was been carried out.
“I don’t think so Lee. See you in Singapore”
“Who is that kid? He clearly lacks manners”
“Lee Bingwen, Darrell’s evil cousin”
“Does he have a father”
“Yes mom. Why the questions”
“What’s his father’s name?
“Shane Bingwen” mom gasped.
“You know him?
“It all makes sense now, you are the Darrell he talked about”
“Who are you talking about”
ELLIE’S POV
? FLASHBACK?
“I’ve done some really bad things Ellie. I probably don’t deserve forgiveness”
“You are a good man Connor you saved my life”
“I did that to redeem myself. I was selfish and greedy”
“What do you mean”
“Zach isn’t my son Ellie”
“What? How…”
“He is a Bingwen”
