Chapter 56

When the maids were all done packing there loads into the car, they all ate breakfast quietly, Dawn processing the fact that she was moving to a new location, Sarah thinking about meeting with Anna and Ivy wondering if she would ever see Scar soon with the change of location.

After breakfast they got into Stephan's limousine as the driver drove them straight to the airport with his bodyguards tailing right behind just incase, Dawn thought they would go secretly but it seemed Stephan wasn't bothered about hiding, he was interested in actually getting attacked so he could find out who was on to them.

"Matteo," Sarah heard a lady shouting at Matteo as they got down from the car at the airport, they had drove straight to their private jet. 

When she turned around towards the private jet, she could see Anna and another lady walking towards them and they seemed overly dressed for the occasion, Anna was wearing a black suit and blank pants with a dark shade on while the other lady was wearing a red suit combo with dark shades on.

Their outfits made her stare at her blue jean trouser and white tee shirt, even Dawn and Ivy also didn't over dress, Dawn had a yellow ankle length body hug gown on while Ivy had a free red gown on with a front zipper incase she wanted to breastfeed the baby.

There was something about the other lady that reminded Sarah of someone she had probably met before but where exactly she wondered looking at the lady as they both strode towards them.

When the lady got to them and removed her glasses almost approaching them alongside Anna, Sarah instantly knew who it was. It was Shannon, it had been a while she saw her probably two years now. The last time she saw her, Stephan was informing his bodyguards to send her crazy ass out of his house.

How was she now here? Did she also have a connection to Gonzales? Or worst was she Anna's friend or sister?

"Matteo," Anna smiled at him giving him a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.

This cunny little witch, Sarah hissed in her mind. She had literally just pretended not to see her standing next to Matteo.

 "Stephan," she also called out when she withdrew from the hug but she didn't bother to approach Stephan for a hug, not like she and him had ever hugged each other, even while she was dating Matteo, she and Stephan never had an actual connection apart from greeting each other and greeting each other meant she greeting Stephan because he barely ever answered like he was clearly doing right now.

"Stephan," Shannon smiled at him seductively twirling her hair behind her ear and licking her bottom lips, her attempt at being seductive didn't go unnoticed by Dawn.

"Wasn't our agreement just you?" Stephan asked staring at Anna.

"Yes it was but Shannon can be of help, i reassure you," Anna replied not trying to go into too much details as it was preferable if Shannon explained her usefulness to them and also Shannon had given her a heads up to allow her do the talking so she could get a chance to speak to Stephan privately.

"Very well," Stephan said holding on to Dawn hand and taking her off guard as she had been staring at Shannon while Stephan spoke, she had noticed the way the lady was looking at him. It reminded her of Olivia and how she was always behaving when she was around Stephan or was she just imagining things.

Stephan was a handsome man and any woman would find him pleasing to the eyes without a doubt, so maybe that was just it, maybe this Shannon lady found him pleasing to her eyes and was definitely not aware of the fact that Stephan and Dawn were together but with Stephan holding her hand just like that, it was unusual.

She stared at him but he didn't give her a glance as he got into the plane with the rest of them following behind, when they got in they were welcome by the air hostess.

"Welcome," the lady bowed her head, they walked towards their respective seat each couple sitting next to each other. "My name is Penelope and i will be your assistant, welcome to Aqua airline," the air hostess welcomed them again as she bowed her head and went to take a seat in the corner looking out for whoever might need her assistance soon but she had it in mind to check up on them once they were settled incase they needed anything to drink or eat as she could see one of the passengers had a baby with her.

When they boarded the plane and took their seat, Dawn and Stephan's hand had remained the same, glued to each other. Even as they took their seat, Stephan's hand found hers again and held on to it as he stared outside the window. It was pleasing to Dawn that he was holding her these way.

She suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her abdomen when the plane was about to accelerate.

"I am pressed," Dawn muttered leaning into Stephan's ear, she barely removed her lips from his ear when he turned and pressed his lips on hers taking her off guard as she allowed him have his way. His show of affection didn't go unnoticed by the rest in the plane especially Shannon as they all concluded that Stephan had finally lost his mind. 

Shannon rolled her eyes at the two of them not believing that Stephan would actually just kiss a lady out of the blues except of course he was trying to make her jealous.

Dawn stared at him in shock as he looked back at the window like he hadn't done anything, he seemed lost in thought about something since they boarded these plane and though a lot of people would say that was Stephan's usual look, Dawn could tell that there was more to it than just that blank look. Something was bothering him and she wished he would tell her.

She felt his grasp on her hand loosen as she held on to it back these time tightly.

"Are you okay?"

"Do you want me to kiss you again?" he asked not staring at her. Dawn taking the cue rose to her feet immediately, this shameless man would definitely not just kiss her but do worst if she didn't leave him alone. She could always ask him much later when they were alone.

The air hostess approached her immediately asking her if all was alright.

"Yes, i am fine. Where is the ladies?"

"Oh, follow me Ma'am," the hostess said moving in front of Dawn as Dawn followed behind passing through the other seat, she saw Sarah muttering if she was okay. She nodded back reassuring her that she was fine, when she passed Shannon and Anna's seat, Shannon took the cue and immediately went to sit next to Stephan.

She had been waiting for these opportunity to get to talk to Stephan, she concluded that she won't get the opportunity until they got to the house but it seemed luck was on her side. She knew Stephan was aware of her presence even though he didn't say anything or turn around to glance at her.

When Anna had told her that they were trying to get to Gonzales she knew she couldn't miss the opportunity of being close to Stephan, it had been almost two years since they separated and till today she wish she hadn't done somethings. He was a good man but she didn't just understand him and at that time she lacked the patience to even understand him.

They started their usual argument that day and she wished she had kept her mouth shut about how she had gone ahead to cheat on him just because he wasn't there for her but really what could she have done. How could she be dating a man and he had only touched her once, the other times were little kisses here and there. She got bored and eventually quite horny.

He had threw her out of his house instantly and cut all connections with her, at that time she was pleased to be free from his clutches. She had met another man who was also wealthy and he fit perfectly into what she wanted in a man. They would do it everyday if possible and he would take her anywhere and anytime but slowly it became more of a habit to him than it was to her. Even when she wasn't ready he would force his way on her or worst he would beat the hell out of her and still have her way with her.

It wasn't that there weren't any other good men out there but she finally understood the phrase that 'the devil you know is better than the angel you just meant.'
