A moment of silence ensued while Meg brought in the food.
Everyone sat,and started eating.
“Who’s family adopted her,though?” Rose asked. Cos Felony actually told them about it when they called to ask if she has gotten Royalty out of the orphanage.
“The Harts” Ava answered,cleaning her mouth with the napkin.
“The Harts?”Rose asked with so much curiosity.
“It can’t be the one I know,right?Wait,it is Calton Harts” Colton asked too.
“Yes,dad. You know him?” Ava asked.
“Of course,he’s a very good friend of mine,but we lost contacts just like that. Had no idea he’s still in England” Colton said,happiness written all over him.
“Wow,that’s cool” Ava smiled.
“I know,right? We were actually three of us. Colton,that’s me. Calton and another Colton” He explains.
“Woo…were you some kind of friends,that you bear the same names?” Felony asked.
“Yea,we were best of friends,but….you know what,let’s just eat please”He said,winking at Royalty.
They all ate in silence for a while before Royalty spoke.
“I miss Jax Bebe” she said,dropping her fork.
“Awww,you will see him soon,okay?” Ava said,rubbing her back affectionately.
“Who is Jax babe?” Rose asked.
“Jeez! It’s Jax Bebe,grandmother,not Jax babe”Royalty said,and everyone laughed.
“Okay,lawyer Royalty,please forgive grandmother”Rose said and they laughed again.
“He’s actually Mr Calton’s son” Ava finally answered the question.
“Oh” Rose mouthed,and they continued eating.
“Hold on everyone” Royalty said,and everyone froze,turning all their gazes to her,and wondering what she wants to say.
“Grandparents are usually old and walk with sticks,right? How come mine are not using sticks and are still very young?” she said,raising her shoulders.
“Huh?” Everyone chorused.
“Oh Lord who saved the Israelites,please come save us from Royalty” Ava muttered.
“Whitney,we are in trouble” she turned to Felony and whispered.
“I swear,I’m never gonna have another child else,I’ll die before my time” Felony whispered back,and Ava laughed hard.
“She took after you,yunno” Ava whispered with a wink.
“Shut up” Felony laughed.
“Well,Royalty. Grandparents are still very young because they eat healthy,do a lot of excercise and avoid eating what is not meant for their age” Felony smiled and said.
“Oh,so that means they still have a lot of energy for me,right?” she smirked.
“Yes. But what do you mean?”Ava asked.
“Nothing”she quickly said,giggling.
“What course is my granddaughter studying again?”Rose asked.
“Gosh,mom! She’s in secondary school,not University”Ava rolled eyes.
“Oh,I thought she was in her final year in the University”Rose joked,and they all bursted out laughing.
“I’ve got the craziest family”Ava giggled within,feeling so happy.
“How have studies been,babies”Rose asked, after they were quiet for a while.
“Been good,mom. Exams should start soon,I think”Ava answered.
“Keep making us proud,princesses”Colton smiled.
“I have the youngest mom,youngest aunt, youngest grandparents and a loving family. I am the most blessed girl in the whole wide world!”Royalty screamed,raising her hands up in the air.
“You’re a blessed child indeed my baby,and more blessings are coming your way”Rose said happily.
“Thank you,grandmother. I love you”Royalty said and pecked her cheek.
“Awww,come here. Grandmother loves you more” Rose hugged her tight and kissed her forehead.
ONE WEEK LATER ** KRAY’S CLAN **
“How are you” Colton asked,the moment Bullet walked in.
“This is a surprise,dad. Anyway,I am good.
“Dad,I want to know who my mom and twin is” Bullet said.
He actually came to see his dad concerning that.
“I thought you were not interested in knowing them” Colton said,and Bullet rolled eyes.
“Are you gonna tell me or not” he asked.
“Are you ready to meet them?” he answered with a question.
“I won’t be here if I wasn’t ready to meet them” Bullet replied,already pissed with his dad.
Colton was busy smirking,while Bullet impatiently was waiting for him to say something.
“Why the Füçk are you smirking,were you joking when you said I have a twin?” Bullet asked.
“Maybe I was,what do you think” Colton asked back.
“Seriously? Why do you derive pleasure from getting me angry?” Bullet said.
“I love your angry face” He replied,smirking.
“You’re just so unbearable. Why can’t you act like other dads” Bullet said.
“Because I am not like other dads” He replied.
Bullet scoffed,and started leaving.
“Get ready to meet them tomorrow” Came his dad’s voice behind him.
Bullet smiled,and put his left hand in his pocket,handsomely walking out.
“See you” He mouthed.
HARTS RESIDENCE **
“I can’t believe how much I am missing little devil” Jaxon ruffled his hair as he halted the car.
He picked up his second phone from the pigeonhole,adjusted his shirt,and got out of the car.
He actually came because his dad wants to take him to the company.
“I miss hearing the name,Jax Bebe” He chuckled,and walked into the house where he met his parents right there in the living room.
“You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you” His dad asked.
I’m sorry, dad,I had something to do first, before coming here” Jaxon apologized.
“It’s fine,son. Can we go now?” Calton asked.
“Yea,sure” Jaxon answered and picked the house car keys”
“You’re not driving, Jaxon. The driver is taking us there” Calton said.
“Oh,let’s go then” he replied, and they made to leave.
“Stop,please” came Margaret’s voice.
“Honey,what’s the matter, hope there’s no problem?” Calton asked,concerned.
“Mom,what’s going on,why don’t you want us to go?” Jaxon suddenly asked.
“I…I… I can’t betray you twice, Honey. I need to tell you something,if you still want to give him the company after telling you, then you can go ahead” Margaret said.
“What are you saying? Why are you been weird?
“Let’s go,Jaxon” Calton said.
“Wait… I don’t want… Y..you to give him your company because he’s not your son” she blurted.
Colton’s blood dried up instantly as he turned to look at her.
“What did you say…you’re just joking,right?” He smiled.
“No…I can’t joke with something expensive like that. Jaxon is a twin, and he’s not your son” she said again.
“I’m a what?!! Jaxon exclaimed.
“What the hell are you spewing right now?” Calton shouted.
“He’s not yours,Jaxon is your friend’s son,Colton Kray” she spilled it.
“What?!!!
BULLET’S PENTHOUSE ** NEXT DAY **
“Punch me,Apple” Bullet said as Ava continued to throw hard but sweet punches at him.
They are actually doing their morning workouts,in Bullet’s gym room.
They’ve done many other excercises,and now they just doing punches.
“I’m tired,Desire. Do you want me to faint?” Ava pouted.
“Lazy bones,c’mon,punch me harder. You can’t faint when I’m here,I’ll wake you up with something” Bullet smirked.
“Pervert” Ava eyed him,and giggled.
“You the real pervert here. How did you undestand what I said so quick” Bullet laughed.
“I was innocent,but you spoilt me” Ava said,preparing to punch.
“I wasn’t the one asking for more,yunno” Bullet laughed.
“Shut up!” Ava laughed,then threw another one at him,but he dodged it this time. Making it hang in the air.
“Hey,that’s not fair,stop dodging the punch. Do you know how much energy I used in throwing that punch?” Ava said like a baby,and Bullet laughed.
“You can be such a cute baby when you want to act like one” Bullet laughed more.
He was still laughing at her when Ava punched him real hard on the chest.
“Ahhhh”Bullet screamed and fell down on his back,acting like he has fainted.
Ava’s eyes widened as she took off the gloves in a flash,and threw them away.
“No…no…no,Desire!” she screamed,and ran to him,kneeling beside him.
“I’m sorry…I swear,I didn’t mean to punch you that hard” she said,shaking him continously.
“Desire…are you there? Talk to me,Javon. I said I’m sorry” she shook him again,but Bullet remained motionless.
She continued to shake him,then decided to check if he’s breathing,but he wasn’t.
Bullet held his breath so tight that one would think he’s dead.
“No!..no,please. Don’t leave me,please,I love you,Javon. Just say something.
“Javon,Desire….Bullet please. I promise to never do that again….wake up!
“Never! Who will call me Apple,treat me like a baby,and assist me with my assignments” she said,amidst cries.
She stood up very fast,and grabbed the bottle water she and Bullet were drinking while working out.
She started sprinkling him with the water,still,Bullet made no moves.
“Desire…please wake up. We are not done with school yet,you haven’t asked if I will marry you…you..wake!” She screamed.
“I love you,Javon. Please wake up” she lowered her head and kissed him gently on the lips.
Bullet then took his right hand and wrapped it around her waist,then he started kissing her back.
“Ahhh! You’re awake, you’re alive!” Ava screamed.
“I can’t get enough of your lips,kiss me again,Apple.
“I should do this more often,it was fun” he smirked.
“Wait… You weren’t unconscious, were you?” Ava widened.
“What do you think?” He winked.
“Ahhh! I will k!ll you,you jerk? So I was crying and talking nonsense for no reason?” She said,and began punching him while Bullet kept laughing.
“Kiss me again” he smirked.
“I will k!ll you!!
