CHAPTER 14: GOOD NEWS

Aaliyah didn’t know how to react after hearing this. This was the first time her son softly explained to her or pleaded with her. when he moved out of the house that year, he didn’t act like this, so seeing him like this made her heartache.

“Are you saying that if I choose for you, it will be a wrong and bad choice?”

Kasper shook his head as he looked at his mother with warmth in his eyes, “mom, you have always done everything for my good, this is something that I know and will always bear in mind. If you get to know her, you will see that she is a good girl and isn’t like those wild girls out there. If there is someone to be blamed, that should be me. I was the one who forced her into this in the first place.”

Seeing the distress in his eyes, Aaliyah felt bad for her son, from this she could tell that he still had not done anything to that girl and now she was curious as to what type of girl Elektra was.

For men like Kasper with everything, they wouldn’t care whether you don’t want it or not, they will just take it as long as they want it. So, seeing her impatient son being patient with a girl, her curiosity was piqued.

“Ahhhh, all I just wanted was for you to have someone by your side, have a loving wife and partner but since this is how you feel, I will give you your freedom. You can pursue that……. Elektra to your heart’s content and I will also try my best to know her. if you have time, bring her here for a meal and we will take it from there,” Aaliyah felt as if she had aged in less than an hour.

She had been so adamant about rejecting her son from being with that vix……Elektra but now she was giving the green light. What else could she do when all she wanted to see as a mother was to see her children being happy?

Kasper smiled inwardly without showing it and looked at his mother with grateful eyes, “thank you, mother. I will definitely bring her here sometime in the future.”

The pair of mother and son talked about a different topic since the relationship topic was a bit suffocating to continue. After talking for roughly ten more minutes, the two decided to join the guests.

Since Kasper wasn’t interested in the girls at the banquet, he decided to rush back to his mansion as he has a little wild kitten to pacify otherwise, he will lose her.

So, when Jill who was about to go and strike a conversation with Kasper who was out of the house saw him entering the car and leaving without exchanging greetings with any of them, her face went dark.

Her fists were clenched, and her nails were digging deep into her hands that blood was already flowing out. Clarissa could only shake her head watching this and decided not to provoke Jill further otherwise she will be the one suffering.

Bryce who was watching all this drama suddenly felt that something was going on at his elder brother’s house and maybe it was time for him to make a visit and see what little bird he was hiding there.

But first thing first, he has some ladies to charm so he did exactly that. The ladies were a bit sad and upset that Kasper wasn’t at the banquet but Bryce was there so there was still some hope.

They were all not fools to fall in love with guys nowadays as only their hearts will get broken. So, to them, it was beneficial to only be concerned with benefits than sacrificing their hearts.

Jill and Alice were no longer in the mood of sticking around, so they left the banquet.

On the other side, Elektra was home and since it was the weekend, she didn’t go out but remained in her study while dealing with some important issues.

With Kasper not home, Elektra was free to do whatever she wanted. as she was busy searching the map for the last place the treasure might have been seen, she received a phone call from 1.

It had been too long since she talked to 1, so she was wondering what trouble the other was facing so she didn’t delay picking up the call.

“Hello.”

[I hope that you are doing okay there. I will not waste much more of your time and just get straight to the point. I have received an invitation to the Day’s annual auction, do you want to go?]

The person on the other side was very nervous and anxious. He didn’t know whether Elektra will agree or not, he didn’t want to be on her wrong side and make her sad.

Elektra had been feeling itchy recently and needed to vent out some of her frustration, she could only tease Kasper but she knew that if she overdid it, she will be the one suffering in the end so she did it moderately.

But if she were to go to that auction, won't her dreams come true? She had not seen those faces in ages and she wondered how well they were faring?

“I will go with you. When is the auction?” Elektra asked with interest.

The man on the other side was relieved to hear that Elektra had agreed to come to the auction, [they are holding it next weekend and I heard that there will be some interesting things getting auctioned there.]

Elektra liked interesting things and she wasn’t going to let such a great opportunity goes by like this, so she immediately agreed, “sure, I will meet you in Bares City. Just send me the schedule and I will get back to you.”

Elektra didn’t talk much with 1 and hung up when the call was done. She resumed her reading as if nothing has happened but only by entering her head would anyone see how gloomy she was and excited she was at the same time.

There was a storm in her heart and she wanted something or someone to help her cool off. Who knew that Kasper like always will become her knight in shining armor again?

When the door was opened without her consent, she looked up and gazed at Kasper who was definitely not looking well. she wasn’t used to seeing him like this and her cold heart sort of ached for him.

“What do you want?” Elektra coldly asked the other as there was no way she was going to soften up for him just because he wasn’t looking good.

Kasper didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this cold reaction.
