DON'T MARRY, DATE - CHAPTER 37&38
【BAD@zz MRS LANCELOT】
~LANCELOT ESTATE HOME~
Andrew dashed into the large living room with a start. He scanned the entire space before taking the stairs. His heart was thinking heavily, not because he ran but he was scared.
He might not have had the best relationship with his grandmother but he still wants her around.
He barged into her room without knocking and the first thing he saw causes a slight frown on his forehead.
“Oh…. he’s here” Granny Brenda said with a bright smile, her face was shinning than ever and she doesn’t appear sick too.
“I told you that will work on him” A feminine voice said to Granny Brenda before turning to Andrew who was still trying to understand the whole situation.
Before he could take a grasp of what is going on, Sapphire jumped on him wrapping her hand around his neck.
“Honey Bunch!” She called kissing him on the neck.
Andrew wiggled from her grip but she just clung on him tightly.
“I miss you so much” she added, kissing him all over. Granny Brenda just watched their drama beaming in all smiles.
“Get off me at least” Andrew said with a deep grunt, she was almost choking him.
She slowly got down from him instantly putting on a puppy face, the one she knows he won’t be able to resist.
“You don’t miss me like I thought you would, you don’t look happy too” She said with a sad pour, her eyes were glassy already.
Andrew ran his hand through his hair inhaling sharply. He moved closer to her before pulling his hand around her.
“I miss you too” He said in a low voice. He broke the hug after a few seconds
“Tada! I’m here now” She giggled happily, holding his hand, interlocking them with hers.
“Why did you come back? You didn’t even tell me you would be coming” Andrew uttered.
“I came back because I missed you and don’t try sending me back to England and also, I didn’t tell you because I wanted it to be a surprise” Sapphire said with a bright smile.
“Welcome back” Andrew said dryly before turning back with the intention to leave but she held him back.
“Where are you going to?”
“Home” He responded simply.
“Why? You just got here” Sapphire retorted.
“I left my wife at home” He answered.
“Seriously? You are going to ditch me for her? She has been seeing you around and I am just setting my eyes on you today after so many years. I was hoping you’ll spend the night here with me, we can talk all night and catch up on old times. You have no idea how much I missed you” She said the last part in a low voice.
“Sapphire……
“What?” She cuts him off sharply.
“Not like you got married to her out of love; your supposed bride was cheating on you and you found out on the day of the wedding and you had to choose her just because” Sapphire said folding her hand below her B-__-bs.
“Granny Brenda told me” She added almost immediately. Andrew turned to look at Granny Brenda who looked away instantly, staring at no where in particular avoiding his gaze.
Andrew stared at her for a while without saying a word.
“Let’s talk tomorrow, Sapphire” He said coldly and meant to leave but this time, she hugged him from behind, resting her head on his back.
“You are breaking my heart when you do this. I am your little sister and your attention is all that I ask for, is that too much to ask?” She said in a low voice.
“I already said we should talk tomorrow Sapphire” Andrew said throwing his head backwards in frustration. He was getting tired of her clingy attitude already.
“Fine, let’s talk tomorrow then. I’ll take that as a promise” She said letting go of him.
“Good night and I love you” She added standing on her tiptoe and she gave him a peck on his left cheek and then the right. Her eyes fell on his lips briefly but she held herself back and moved away from him.
Andrew replied with a single nod before walking out of the room finally. Sapphire breathe out loudly, jumping on the bed beside Granny Brenda.
“Feels good to be back home” She said with a smile.
“Don’t feel discouraged about his attitude dearie, I’m sure he misses you too and that he loves you” Granny Brenda said reassuringly.
“Are you sure about that Granny?”
“He might act cold outside but he is the sweetest person ever” Granny Brenda said.
Sapphire took a deep breathe before snuggling closer to Granny Brenda.

~GOLDIE HOSPITAL~
Mr Tanner pressed on a button and the door got automatically locked without her knowledge. He laid supine on the bed, not making any movement as he waited for her to come close.
“Andrew? Are you okay?” The feminine voice said, her voice laced with concern as she moved closer.
As soon as she got to the bed side, he pulled her by her arm and with a swift move, she was the one laying on the bed and he was on top. A gasp escaped her lips in shock.
Their faces were barely visible to each other because the ward was dim litted.
“What…. what are you doing?” She found herself stuttering.
“What do you think?” He retorted, using his hand to caress her tight. He found his way up to her p@nt and he shifted it to one side. He fingered her as fast as he can making her cry out in pains.
“d@mn it” He giggled in excitement, getting up from the bed. He meant to remove his trousers when the door bursted open surprising him. He was sure he locked the door.
He turned to look at the intruder with his trousers down at his knee level. He had already removed his belt. The lights came on and the intruder came into view.
Mr Tanner staggered backwards, his soul almost left him due to shock. Standing before him is his wife, Beryl.
“Honey….. I….”
“So it’s true” She said with a sad smile.
“How did you find me? I mean….
He paused in his words and turned to look at the supposed “Karen”. It wasn’t Karen but a random girl, someone he hasn’t set his eyes on before.
“What’s going on here? Who are you? Where is Karen?” He asked but he got no answer to his question.
“Just f-__-king answer me!” He screamed in frustration.
“You ingrate, getting married to you despite your status and loving you is a crime I committed. I picked you from your shackles, from the slump and I helped you to become the man you are and this is how you repay me? Living me wholeheartedly was all I asked for!!” Beryl screamed.
“C’mon honey, let’s talk about this at home okay? It’s not what you think really” Mr Tanner tried saying.
“Don’t you dare come back to my house and don’t think of going to the group either. I’m taking back all what is mine. Get ready to sign the divorce papers too, my lawyer will contact you” She said in a calm voice before leaving.
“$h|t!” Mr Tanner cursed, throwing his fist in the air.
“What do you think? You should learn to keep that dangling rope under you in check” Redford appeared in the ward. Mr Tanner knee shook and he almost lost his balance.
He threw a bundle of cash at thr lady who acted as Karen. The lady appreciated him and left immediately.
“How did you…..
“I guess I have some explanations to do” Redford mumbled going to sit on the hospital bed.
FLASHBACK*
As Karen was heading for the ward as the nurse behind the desk as said, she met Redford just at the hallway and she rushed to him immediately.
“How serious is it? What really happened?” Karen asked almost close to tears.
Redford bit his bottom lips trying to hold back his laughter. Her expression was worth laughing at.
“And you just rushed here?” He played along.
“I don’t get you…..
“When you received that call, you just rushed here without calling to confirm if it’s true or not” Redford said.
“I don’t get what you are saying, just tell me Andrew is fine please. That’s all I need to hear” Karen said searching his eyes curiously as if the answers to her questions were there.
Redford couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore and he let it out, laughing really hard.
“Is everything a joke to you? Someone’s life is hanging on a thread and all you could do I laugh? it’s Andrew we are talking about here, has the doctor said anything? How serious were is injuries? How fatal was the accident?” Karen said, looking serious as ever.
“What if I tell you that all of this is an attempt by Yasmine and Mr Tanner? No one got into an accident and no one’s life is hanging on a thread” Redford said.
Karen raised her brow in confusion.
“What do you mean no one got into an accident? But the call and also the cab driver, he……
Redford calmly explained everything to Karen.
“What!!? You should have told me as soon as you find out about their plan!” Karen hit him on his chest lightly.
“I think it’s more fun this way” Redford said with a smile at one corner of his lips.
“What are we going to do now? He is probably at the ward waiting for me to get there” Karen said taking her bottom lips in.
“And Karen will surely go into the ward” Redford answered.
“Huh?”
Just then a lady walked past them, chewing her him ?îtçhily. She popped bubbles with it as she stood in front of Redford.
“You know what to do right” Redford asked her tucking his both hands in his pocket.
“Sure” The lady answered before walking away to the direction of the ward; VIP Ward 550.
“I’m sorry but she will have to borrow your name for a few minutes” Redford said to Karen who answered him with a sneer.
BACK TO PRESENT*
Mr Tanner fell on his butt as Redford finished explaining everything.
“I’m so doomed” He ruffled his hair.
“Then you should know better not to mess with Andrew Lancelot’s woman” Redford said standing up.
Mr Tanner quickly held his leg stopping him from moving.
“Help me please” He begged in tears.
“Well…..
Redford paused on his words and squatted to his level.
“The only help I can render to you is cutting off that thing” Redford said with a sly smile, nudging at the direction of Mr Tanner’s manh**d.
Mr Tanner quickly let go of him crawling away quickly. Redford flashed him a final smile before leaving the ward.
“It went well” He said to Karen who was patiently waiting outside for him.
“I know it would” She replied him absentmindedly.
“Awwn! You trust me that much” Redford said dramatically touching his chest.
“Just quit with that….. I’m still at shock over the whole thing, what if you had not discovered their plans early enough? I would have probably be crying under him right now” Karen mumbled taking a deep breathe.
Redford placed his hand around her neck in a comforting manner.
“That’s why you shouldn’t trust any one easily, even your friend could turn to your enemy with just a blink of the eye” Redford adviced.
As soon as he said that, Karen’s thought went to Luciana and she couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
“That’s right” She concurred.
“I’m always right Mrs Lancelot” Redford said with an air of pride earning him a glare from Karen.
“I’ll take you home” He added.

~NEXT DAY,10AM_LANCELOT CONGLOMERATE~
“Thanks for last night” Andrew said to Redford who was sitting in front of him.
“You’re welcome” Redford said with his eyes on his phone. He is currently chatting with Kimora.
“I’ll be paying a visit to Yasmine later” Andrew blurted out and that made Redford look up from his phone immediately.
“Why? Are you sure you can handle it? I can just go in your place” Redford said.
“No…. I think I should do this myself, I have a lot to say to her” Andrew uttered. Redford raised his hand up showing submission.
“Karen is so unbelievable, she was close to tears last night. Without doubt, she really cares for you” Redford said.
“You should try to open your heart to love once again and Karen is the right one to own the keys to your heart. Give love a chance with her, just because you have an experience once doesn’t mean you should shut everyone out. Hold her tight, claim her to be yours, don’t ever let her go” He added.
“I know, I’m just….. I don’t know how to do all of these again, showing love to others and all of that” Andrew opened up shocking Redford. He was expecting silence from Andrew’s part but instead, he is talking.
“To her, I’m a jerk who uses her to satisfy himself. I’m a bad husband who hurt hurt feelings everything, I’m just someone who push her away at every chance I get” He added.
“Do you know that the blind date was to make you jealous and it worked” Redford revealed.
“What!??”
“Yeah, you didn’t hear that from me” Redford said making a sign that he zipped his lips before standing up.
Andrew stared into the space thinking deeply.

~MOONLIGHT HOSPITAL~
Luciana tapped her feet on the floor as she waited for the doctor who had gone to get the results from the test she had conducted.
The door opened and the doctor walked out with a file in her hand. She took her seat opposite Luciana who gave her full attention.
“It was as you suspected, you are pregnant” The doctor announced searching over the file to her.
Luciana didn’t seem to be affected by the news, like she was already expecting it. She didn’t even bother to collect the file from the doctor.
“Can I get an abortion done?” She said staring straight into the doctor’s eyes.
“Uhmm…. don’t you think you should discuss this with your husband or lover first? You both can come into a conclusion and……
The doctor but her bottom lips when she noticed that Luciana doesn’t seem interested in wh@??ver she was saying.
“I’ll get you the abortion pills” She finally said standing up.
Luciana suddenly furrowed her brows as she thought of something, one person just came to her mind; Karen.
“Can the pills also work for someone who is two months gone?” She asked the doctor.
“Yes but….. it’s not advisable to take excess of it, it can damage the womb also” The doctor adviced.
“Even better” Luciana said with a smile
“Huh?” The doctor said but got no reply from Luciana who was just smiling into the space like she just won a jackpot.

~6PM_LANCELOT MANSION~
Karen furrowed her brows as she opened the door to meet an unfamiliar face.
“How… May I help you?”
“Is honey bunch at home?” Sapphire retorted,not bothering to answer Karen’s question.
“Honey bunch? Who is that?”
“Andrew Lancelot, he is my elder brother. I’m Sapphire” Sapphire finally introduced herself.
“Come in, I didn’t know you were the one. Andrew didn’t tell me that you are around either” Karen opened the door wider.
“I guess you both are not as close as I thought” Sapphire said, Karen could sense mockery in her voice as she said that but she just shrugged it off.
“Honey Bunch is not back from work? He used to be around by this time or he’s probably avoiding something or perhaps someone” Sapphire continued, turning to Karen with a sneer.
“I actually don’t get……
“I’ll just stay and wait for him” Sapphire cuts her off, settling down on one of the couch.
Karen exhaled sharply also taking her seat.
“How old are you?” She couldn’t help but ask Sapphire, curiosity taking the better part of her.
“Old enough to be Andrew’s wife” Sapphire answered.
“What!?”
“Just kidding, I am twenty five” Sapphire answered with an obvious forced smile before turning back to her phone.
“Same age with me” Karen muttered.
*
“Honey bunch!” Sapphire screamed loudly rushing to hug Andrew who just entered the house. The hug was so tight that her B-__-bs pressed hard on his chest which Karen noticed.
Karen bit her bottom lips trying to stop herself from exploding.
Sapphire then proceeded to kiss him on his both cheeks. Karen couldn’t help but scoff loudly.
“What’s she doing?” She muttered to herself, narrowing her gaze at them.
“Your wife and I…..
Sapphire paused on her words turning to Karen with a knowing smile. A smile which Karen interpreted to be “Andrew is mine”
Karen trailed her eyes to their interlocked finger and a crazy idea popped on her head. A smile crept at one corner of her lips as she walked closer to the two.
“Hubby” She said.
“I’ve missed you all day, I was tempted to come over to the conglomerate” She added causing Andrew to furrow his brow in surprise. The look she was giving him at that point, d@mn!
So breathtaking and enchanting!
“How did your day go hubby?” Karen continued.
Then another shock came from her. Standing on her tiptoe, she pressed her lips softly directly on his lips. The rest of Andrew senses flew out through the window.
Being irresistible Mrs Lancelot, Nadrew couldn’t resist her. He removed his hand from Sapphire’s and wrapped it around Karen’s waist, taking over the kiss.
The kiss was so deep and long and enchanting too, they were oblivious of any other person’s presence. By the time Karen broke the kiss, Sapphire was already back to her seat fuming visibly.
Satisfied by the reaction she was getting from her, Karen proceeded further.
“I’m sure the baby misses you too” Karen added before turning to Sapphire with a bad@zz smirk. Her look was screaming…
I am Mrs Lancelot!!!
Sapphire’s mouth fell open in shock.
