Chapter 155
The both of them were lost staring at each other with their lips moving closer just as they were about to kiss, the door burst open revealing the quadruplets.
“Mommy, Daddy” The kids called out and Lisa quickly composed herself. She felt her cheeks turn red in embarrassment. Alfred chucked and Lisa shot him a deadly glare.
“Mommy, how are you feeling now?” Isabella asked and Lisa turned to Alfred wondering what he had told the kids.
Alfred shrugged and laughed.
“Mommy, daddy said you were resting, ” Annabella said
“Mommy I hope you’ve had enough rest?” Arabella asked
“Mommy, you’re gonna have breakfast with us today right?” Clarabella asked and Lisa smiled at the four of them. She wondered which of the questions she was going to answer first.
“Mommy is fine, she’s had enough rest already. Common let’s go downstairs for breakfast ” Alfred said and the kids nodded happily as they walked out of the room with Alfred behind them. Lisa sighed softly and walked out of her room trailing behind them.
They all walked to the dining room and sat at the dining table. The kids were so happy that their mommy and daddy were there with them. They wouldn’t ask for anything more than a happy family which they already had.
Lisa smiled at her kids who ate happily. Lots of thoughts going through her mind. She hadn’t heard from Daniel after what happened. Alfred had given him the beating of his life, she began to wonder how he was doing.

****************
Daniel is seen in his room. He had just woken up from sleep in the sitting room and had thrown up there. Williams, who had stayed with him last night, helped him clean up.
Daniel had taken his bath and changed into one of his casual dresses. He sat on his bed with lots of thoughts going through his mind. He felt hurt, especially the fact that he tried forcing himself on Lisa. Lisa had always trusted him and he knew she would be so disappointed in him.
He didn’t know what came over him, he didn’t want to do it but he did it. A part of him was glad Alfred had stopped him in time.
He sighed softly and turned to Williams who had just walked out of the bathroom.
“You should go home, Williams. You should rest so you can resume work tomorrow fully energized” Daniel said calmly
“What about you sir?” Williams asked worriedly
“I’ll be fine alright. I can take care of myself” Daniel said and Williams nodded in response as he walked out of the room, out of the house to his car.
He hopped into his car and zoomed off. Daniel exhaled deeply as sadness swept over him. Whatever he was feeling now was more than heartbreak.
Just then he heard his phone ring. It was his mom Mrs. Bella calling. Daniel sighed softly as he answered the phone call.
“Daniel,” his mom said from the other side of the phone as he answered the phone call. She sounded too excited to hear from his son.
“How are you doing Daniel?” Mrs. Bella asked
“I’m fine mom. How about nova?” Daniel asked weakly.
“She’s fine, she just misses you a lot,” Mrs. Bella said and Daniel forced himself to chuckle. Daniel had applied for Nova to go study outside the country since it has always been her dream to study abroad. So Mrs. Bella had gone with her.
“Daniel my son, Are you alright? You don’t sound okay” Mrs. Bella said as she noticed Daniel’s voice was so low and she could sense pain in his voice.
“I’m fine mom, I’m just stressed with work,” Daniel said and Mrs. Bella hummed
“How about Lisa?!” Mrs. Bella asked and Daniel kept quiet for some seconds before he finally spoke.
“She’s okay,” Daniel said. Mrs. Bella knows Daniel too well. From the sound of his voice, he wasn’t happy. He was sad and when she had asked about Lisa he had kept quiet for some time before replying. This only means one thing, he and Lisa are having issues.
“What happened between you and Lisa?” Mrs. Bella asked
“Mom!” Daniel called out
“What did she do again this time? You should settle things with her. I do not want this disturbing you from work” Mrs. Bella said and Daniel sighed softly
“Mom…..”
“You know what Daniel? I’m taking the next flight to Singapore tomorrow” Mrs. Bella said.
“What?? Mom, I’m okay. What about Nova and her studies?” Daniel asked
“I might be coming alone. Nova can come along if she wants besides they’re on holiday and if she doesn’t want to come alone, she can stay besides she’s no longer a kid” Mrs. Bella said in response
“But mom!” Daniel called out
“Don’t try convincing me, Daniel. I’m coming home and that’s final” Mrs. Bella said and with that, she ended the call. Daniel dropped the phone beside him. Lots of thoughts in his head.
He just wants to get those thoughts out of his head. They were killing him inside. Knowing the fact that he had hurt Lisa and Alfred must be with her was killing him on the inside.
He stood up from the bed and walked towards his wardrobe. He brought out one of his jackets and put it on.
He took his car keys, walked out of his house and hopped into his car. He zoomed off to a new club downtown that was opened recently.
His car screeched to halt in front of the club. The sounds of music could be heard from the outside.
He walked inside the bar and was welcomed with the sight of people dancing on stage. Stripers danced and men were putting money on their breasts.
Some people were kissing each other while some were smooching. Alfred stared around trying to locate the bar, When he finally did, he walked towards the bar, dragged out an empty chair then sat on it.
“What’s your poison?” The female bartender asked
“Spirytus Rektyfikowany” Daniel said and the bartender opened her mouth wide.
“What??? That’s one of the strongest alcohols in the world with 96%. It’s a death mission ” the bartender said and chuckled.
“Do you have it or not?” He asked
“No, we don’t ” The bartender said in response
“What then do you have?” Daniel asked
“Vodka…”
“I’ll go for it then” Daniel and she nodded.
She poured out a glass of vodka for him and he drank it with lots of thoughts going through his mind.
Just then a young girl walked in. She walked towards the bar area and stood beside Daniel who was looking a little bit drunk.
