Chereads / The Crazy Tomboy / Chapter 44 - SUBSTITUTE

Chapter 44 - SUBSTITUTE

"Are you crazy!". Lisa snapped, breaking the kiss, then she hit Dylan with the purse in her hand, but relented and glared at him before walking out of the boutique.

Dylan hurriedly paid for her dress and dashed out of the boutique, only to meet Lisa standing right in front of his car, then she faced him.

"Give me the car keys. They're mine now". Lisa said simply as she stretched forth her hand expecting the keys.

Dylan offered her the keys but when she made to take it from him, he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer and Lisa glared at him.

"Are you crazy…

"You loved it right?". Dylan smirked and Lisa frowned, as she struggled to free herself.

"You loved the kiss that's why you didn't hit me for it". Dylan muttered and Lisa scoffed before making to step on his toe, but Dylan took his foot away and she ended up losing her balance as she began falling to the ground but Dylan caught her by the waist.

"Woah are you two couples now?". Oliver gasped from behind them, and the duos disconnected immediately.

Maya stood beside Oliver glaring meanly at the girl Dylan just had contact with.

"Is she your new b*tch now? Don't tell me you've been avoiding Evelyn because of this skinny thing". Maya said to Dylan who tried to retaliate but Lisa pulled him back.

"I'll handle her myself". Lisa muttered to Dylan, as she made her way towards Maya who's eyes widened at the new version of Lisa she was now facing. It's obvious she didn't recognize her at first and that was why she said all those things to her.

"Li…sa". Maya stuttered and Oliver's eyes widened when he heard the name. His eyes widened more when he saw how pretty she looked in a feminine dress, but Lisa didn't let them think further before grabbing Maya's hair with one hand and spanking it with the other one earning a yelp from her at every hurtful contact.

Oliver and Dylan tried pulling Lisa away from Maya, but her grip on Maya's hair was so tight that they had to use all their manpower before finally succeeding.

"Call me a b*tch one more time and I'll make you spell it out in the gruesome way possible!!". Lisa yelled glaringly at Maya who was now crying in Oliver's arm.

"I didn't know it was you!!". Maya cried out.

"What do you mean by that? I don't look good in a pretty expensive dress that's why I'm unrecognizable?!". Lisa questioned harshly going towards Maya, but Dylan pulled her back.

"Lisa that's enough it's obvious she didn't know it was you…

Dylan was cut short when Lisa stepped on his foot hard and he groaned in pain.

"All this is your f**king fault!". Lisa yelled, snatching the car key from his hand, before entering his Lamborghini and driving off.

"F**k!". Dylan spat as he watched her drive recklessly knocking down all the signboards and thrash boxes placed by the side of the road.

"Does she have a license? Cause if not I'm afraid your new car will get tolled by the patrol officer on duty tonight". Oliver said to Dylan.

"That's what I pray for right now. It's better for her to get seized than for her to destroy it with her reckless driving. It's a billion dollar car for crying out loud!". Dylan said, roughing his hair in frustration and Oliver chuckled before facing Maya.

"Let's go get your hair done, it looks messy right now". Oliver said, wiping her tears, Maya nodded.

"But seriously dude. You deserve an award for turning that guy into an actual she". Oliver chuckled teasingly at Dylan before taking Maya into the boutique and Dylan glared after him.

"There's no way she'll take my car, without eating out with me". Dylan muttered to himself before calling a taxi, which zoomed off the moment he boarded it.

"THE CLEARN'S MANSION"

SENATOR CLEARN'S STUDY…

Senator Clearn was currently holding Archer's DNA papers with so much anger visible on his face.

"To think she wanted me to transfer half of my properties to that b@st@rd". Senator Clearn muttered, balling his fist.

"I'll see to it that I get back at her for fooling me all this while". Senator Clearn said then his phone began ringing and he picked it after seeing the dialer.

"Tell me. Is she finally responding?". He asked worriedly through the phone.

"Yes senator. But she keeps asking for a particular Davis. Do you know who he is if she may ask, cause she's refusing treatment without him beside her". The doctor said through the phone and Senator Clearn frowned.

"I don't know who's…Wait I think he's the cousin to her ex boyfriend Kingston. You know what, just keep an eye on her for me. I'll be right there". Senator Clearn said before hanging up and that was when Lady Camila walked in.

"I've been trying Oliver's number but he's not picking. I thought you said he will reach out to me once the time comes' '. Lady Camila sighed and Senator Clearn held her shoulders making her face him.

"Let's leave Oliver to himself for now. Something great just happened". Senator Clearn smiled out widely.

"What's that? Olivia pulled through?". Lady Camila replied and the senator's eyes widened.

"How…do…you…know". He stuttered in shock.

"That's the only thing that can make you wear a smile on your face at a time like this''. Lady Camila said and Senator Clearn pulled her into a hug.

"You know me so well. Don't worry this time around I'll keep my promise. We'll get married once everything's settled then we'll visit any country of your choice for the honeymoon". Senator Clearn said and Lady Camila smiled at him.

"But firstly let's go see Olivia first. I'm sure she must be so scared right now she's been through a lot". Lady Camila said and Senator Clearn nodded then they left for the hospital in the company of Christine and a few guards.

"GLAM BOUTIQUE"

"You tinted your hair gold?". Oliver said as he watched Maya twirl right in front of him.

"How do I look at it?". Maya asked, smiling widely and Oliver stood up walking towards her with a huge frown on his face.

"You were only supposed to style your hair back since Lisa ruined it for you and also Change into a more responsible outfit not the see through you're currently wearing but you tinted your hair instead?". Oliver said harshly and Maya stared at herself before staring back at him.

"I look just fine, okay? I even dress way worse than this on a norm so why do i have suddenly changed since you don't like it. You tend to be so bossy you know!". Maya said and Oliver scoffed at her statement.

"Bossy? I'm bossy because because I warned you against your b*tchy attitude?". Oliver snapped and Maya's eyes widened.

"It's b*tchy if a girl decides to pick a new trend of fashion and dye her hair any color of her choice?!". Maya snapped back also and Oliver roughed his hair, before grabbing her hand and taking her out of the boutique.

He shoved her into his car and also got in and zoomed off.

"You don't have to change if you don't want to. It's not compulsory". Oliver muttered as he drove in anger and Maya just stared at him with a puzzled expression on her face.

He finally stopped in front of her parent's mansion, and no one needed to tell her before alighting the car, and almost immediately Oliver drove away from the vicinity and waited another seconds.

"He's always so harsh with me". Maya muttered hurtfully as she stared at his leaving car, before finally going into the mansion.

"LADY LORENA'S MANSION"

"What do you mean he found out? How?!". Lady Lorena yelled through the phone.

"He had secretly ordered for the DNA test right after your daughter's death last week". Her informant said through the phone and her eyes widened.

"You fool! Why didn't you tell me anything about it!?". Lady Lorena questioned the anger visible on her face.

"I tried contacting you my lady but you weren't picking up…

"You know what? F**king hang up right now before I do something you'll regret in your entire wretched life!". Lady Lorena snapped and instantly the call got disconnected.

Lady Lorena roughed her hair and then turned only to see Archer standing right behind her with widened eyes, as tears began dropping from them.

"Arc…her?". Lady Lorena called out.

"I'm not my father's son?". Archer asked and Lady Lorena kept quiet.

"F**king answered me! I'm the bastard amoung all three of us?!". Archer yelled.

"No honey. Oliver's the real outcast not you. It doesn't matter if Tristan's blood doesn't run in you. What matters most is that you'll be the one inheriting his whole wealth and I won't stop till I make that happen!". Lady Lorena said and Archer broke down in tears.

"I can't believe this. Selene divorced me, I lost my child and now I find out that I was just a leech in the household I saw as mine". Archer cried out and his mom bent to hug him, crying along with him as she began patting his head.

"Don't worry baby. All this will be over very soon and you'll be the one with the greater advantage once it ends cause I'll see to it. But right now we need to take our first move before Tristan does. And I know the right striker to do the job. And as for I'll make her pay for toying with you and also getting rid of my grandchild she'll pay for breaking you. After Olivia's death you're the only one I have right now and I won't tolerate any maltreatment directed at you". Lady Lorena said consoling Archer who still kept on crying.

NEXT DAY…

"HOPE HOSPITAL"

The news about Olivia's sudden resurrection was now all over the country, as well-wishers and even the media flooded the hospital but they were all denied entrance; only a few friends and families were allowed. Though aside from the senator and Lady Camila no one else aside Oliver was able to see her.

Cause even Olivia herself refused seeing anyone that isn't Davis.

Aiden, Isla, Maya, Oliver and Dylan were all present and were currently sitting outside Olivia's ward.

Isla planned on coming especially when Lisa was not present but she had no choice than to tag along with Aiden when he pleaded. She was currently sitting on his lap, snuggling him tightly as they waited for the doctor to give them permission to go see Olivia.

Dylan kept scoffing at them from time to time and Oliver chuckled at his jealous reaction, then Dylan finally spoke out.

"Okay we get it. You both are so much in love but you don't have to oppress the singles okay? It's f**king annoying!". Dylan spat, it's obvious he was still mad Lisa ditched him last night.

"Hey it's not our fault you were ditched okay? And why did she refuse to come with you today? Your parents are here also". Aiden asked.

"I collected my car from her since she refused to go out with me and she told me not to show my face to her or she will send me to go meet Kingston". Dylan sighed and everyone broke into a huge laughter.

"Like seriously how dare you break your promise to her. It's obvious you're not serious yourself". Aiden chuckled.

"You need to see the way she ditched him at the boutique last night. This dude over here had to board a taxi". Oliver laughed out loud and Aiden joined him while Dylan glared at them. Isla chuckled lightly on Aiden's laps also. Maya just stood quietly all through not uttering a word, she tried approaching Oliver but he ignored her, then the worse happened.

"Oliver?". Selene called out nicely the moment she sighted them, and Oliver instantly stood up with twinkling eyes when he saw her.

His friends sighed deeply when they saw the way he stared at Selene, while Maya glared at her.

"Selene?". Oliver called out and she flashed him her usual pretty smile that always captured his heart, then she looked around seeing everyone's gaze at her, she smiled at them before facing Oliver back.

"Can we find somewhere to speak in private please?". Selene pleaded and everyone including Maya stared at Oliver waiting for his response.

Maya pleaded within her that Oliver should decline her offer but he did the complete opposite.

"Sure why not". Oliver smiled back at her, then he went away with Selene for them to talk better.

'He has never smiled at me before. He's always mad and angry each time he sees me. Why I'm i even surprised he accepted her plea. He had always loved her and he'll always choose her over me. After all I'm just her substitute to him' Maya thought within herself as a tear dropped from her eyes, then she excused herself and left the hospital…
