Judas kiss novel Chapter 10

After being introduced to almost everyone in the room personally, Della felt tired but happy. Her father wasn't embarrassed of her in anyway, infact he wanted to show her off to everyone he knew.

"If it isn't the Levetté family." Adela's father said nonchalantly. Della immediately felt a shiver run down her spine. She didn't want any trouble hopefully they would all act civil.

"Garreth." Ben Levetté gave him a nod. Della turned around and the first thing she met was his blue alluring eyes. She quickly looked away.

"Long time no see, Garreth." Jeanine said in a monotonous tone. Della could feel his eyes all over her even though she wasn't looking at him. She felt self conscious. Her father had his hand laid gently on his daughters back as he tried not to show his anger.

"Yes yes, I must say I'm quite embarrassed by what my daughter did." Garreth said and Della knew this wasn't going to end well.

"Adela won't you greet your old family dear?" He said his British accent going unnoticed.

"Uhm Evening." She said before looking anywhere else.

"You look very beautiful, I must admit." Jeanine said in a low tone.

"Dells you look popping." Luc said giving her a wink and she gave him a brief smile. She didn't want to look at Andre in fact she didn't want him to even say anything to her.

"Hi Adela." Andre said trying to look into her eyes but she quickly nodded and looked away.

"As I was saying, I'm very embarrassed by what my daughter did..." Garreth said faking hurt. "She cheated on your son and stole so much money from your family, goodness Adela. How could you ?" Garreth added. Della felt very uncomfortable.

"Oh no its fine really.." Jeanine faked a smile while her husband almost choked on his beverage. Andre and Luc felt a pang of guilt.

"That is why she is going to apologise and I'm willing to pay you back the money that she stole and the money you wasted on a wedding that never availed to anything but you can't bring back her innocence can you? Andre." Garreth smirked at his ex-son in law who seemed a bit taken aback. Della felt worse and this little encounter they were having was starting to turn heads.

"If I pay back all the money she stole, will it be possible for you to bring back her innocence." Garreth repeated with a hint of coldness in his voice. Della had mentioned a few years back how she kept to herself so that she could give herself only to her husband. It made Garreth angry that she gave him, her all and it still wasn't enough so he wanted to give him a solemn reminder.

"No, i can't." Andre replied as he clinched his jaw.

"Father, i think-" Della was cut off by her father.

"So tell me, exactly how much did she take ?" He asked on a serious note then clicked his fingers. "Fabio bring my cheque book."

"Very well sir." Fabio turned on his heel.

"How much did she steal that's all I'm asking ? I want us to mend our relations and I can only start by fixing my daughters wrongs." He faked feeling guilty.

"I think we can resolve this in private." Jeanine said in a whispered voice because it seemed now everyone in the room was listening.

"When you threw my daughter out like a dog, that was private right because I certainly remember reading about it in the paper. When your son brought his new mistresses in the house while my daughter was there, that wasn't private was it?" Garreth spat, anger was the only emotion he felt. He never wanted anyone to cross those whom he loved.

"Garreth calm down." Ben said lowly.

"Calm down, calm down!! You mistreated my daughter and expect me to calm down. Your son took my daughter's innocence, he made her fucking pregnant and you all helped kick her out like a dog. NOW I SHOULD CALM DOWN." Garreth chuckled lightly.

"No, they were nice to me and-" Della tried to protest but was cut off.

"Adela, you don't deserve this and I'm sorry for putting you through this but I have to say this. No one ever stands up for you well that has changed I'm here now. I'm your father and I don't ever want anyone to hurt you never." Garreth whispered to his daughter but everyone else could hear it.

"Sir there is the cheque book." Fabio returned with a pen in hand and a cheque book. Thankfully the press wasn't allowed inside as this was a private gala.

"So how much was it Jeanine?" Garreth spat her name with bitterness.

"Grandpa is Mister Andre my dad?" Leondre asked taking all the attention away from their argument. Garreth didn't want to say the wrong thing so he looked at his daughter for help and she nodded.

"Uhm honey come here, let's go upstairs." She said calmly and the little boy still confused nodded. He understood that if his mother was pregnant it meant that there was a baby. All the boys in his class talked about how their mommies were pregnant and had big bellies. He watched a movie once when his mom was asleep, it showed his all the cringey stuff on how adults made babies and got pregnant.

"I will come with you." Andre said out of the blue. They walked towards the washrooms, Della lifted her son up and placed him on the counter. He looked so cute in his tuxedo but still that wasn't the point. Andre followed right behind them.

"Uhm honey, what were you saying before?" Della asked the little boy who only blinked feeling confused.

"Is Mister Andre my dad?" He asked once again. Andre cleared his throat, letting Della know that he was present in the room.

"What made you think that honey?" Della asked.

"Grandpa said Mister Andre made you pregnant, mommy." Leo whispered feeling shy because sex was something he would giggle about and hide his face.

"Do you want Mister Andre to be your daddy ?" Della asked caressing her son's cheeks and he nodded. Andre felt his heart tug, watching his son talk to his mother. He had missed out on alot and he didn't understand why but seeing the mother of his son and the three of them in one room made him happy. Without any disturbance just them, the three of them. He knew not alot of people wanted to see them happy.

"Mister Andre took me out for ice cream." Leo added and Della immediately stood up straight she glared at Andre, who was still caught of daze checking her out and her boobs weren't helping because they were only waking up his member down there. He needed to focus.

"Just one time." He lied. "Maybe a couple of times"

Della turned back to her son.

"So is he my dad?" Leo asked again and Della felt that she didn't want to be like her mother, hiding her father away from her son.

"Yes honey, Mister Andre is your dad." She said feeling a bit hesitant.

"You kicked my mom out?" He asked Andre who seemed taken aback by the six year olds questions. Garreth McCarthy was to blame but most of all he blamed himself for even doing it in the first place.

"Uhm honey your daddy loves you okay and he wants to spend time with you. He will even come to your soccer games, don't you want that?" She soothed him.
