Church girl and di scammer

Chapter 69

Yanique's POV

"Mr Mitchell" Lando smiles , his aura now changes. He is in complete defense mode I can tell by the way he pushes me behind him.

A lion protecting his lioness.

His eyes doesn't leave my dad.

"Lando Hamilton" my dad says. Something about calling him by his full name makes me feel threatened.

I swallow.

No suffocating by the loathe between them both, I struggle to even think straight.

Is Lando under arrest ?

No it can't be , there's no way my dad came here alone for such a task.

Within seconds my mind baffles with the worst case scenarios.

"Relax , just deh ya fi congratulate mi daughter. I accept the apology for not receiving an invite" he steps closer but Lando doesn't move, his huge body frame still shields me like an armor.

"Invitations were limited" Lando says and I start observing my dad's truck to see if anyone is accompanying him. I'm at ease when I realize he's really alone.

This is not healthy , I already know they don't like each other but seeing this play out for the first time is sickening to watch.

He's still my dad , I have respect and love for him. I just wish the situation was a lot different. It was definitely my choice not to invite my parents and this is the reason why.

"So is it a girl or boy?" He ask me , I calm my panic before I answer.

I want to ask him who told him where I live , what's his true reason for being here but he's here and everything inside me screams .....forgiveness.

"We're having a boy" I smile while rubbing my stomach.

"Ahh! A grandson , I'm gonna have a grandson running around the place soon" he hugs me.

The feeling is so strange and forced but I hug him back while looking over his shoulder at Lando who hasn't took his eyes off my dad for a second.

Literally.

I give Lando a pleading look and he shakes his head in disapproval. I sigh before releasing myself from the hug.

"Thanks for stopping by daddy" I try to wrap things up, Lando is growing impatient and I can read his mind, he wants my dad to go right now.

"Yeah ... no problem, you're still my only child" he reminds me but it sounds more like a warning to Lando to what length he'll go.

"A month ago was Superintended Brown's funeral . You know him Lando? The short black ute that was giving me information on your case that is now thrown out ?"

Oh here we go. Now we know the reason why he's here.

This is not the time nor place for this , I will not let him ruin this moment for me.

"Name doesn't sound familiar. Mi nuh keep police fren" Lando puts his hands in his pocket, he's so composed its terrifying.At no point do I sense any form of fear in his demeanor.They appear so wild and revengeful, I haven't seen this look before.

"Daddy not now, this can't be up for discussion at this moment. I just found out I'm having a baby boy, I just got engaged and you will not take away from this moment. This is exactly why I didn't send an invitation" I take my stand ,showing how frustrated I am by all of this.

I am really at the point where I want to scream on top of my lungs.

How dare he try to do this to me right now ? I always get drawn back into the idea of having my parents support but it's about time I realize they only show up to steal whatever joy I have left.

Well not this time , I will not have it.

Enough is enough.

"Oh ! Congrats on the engagement, isn't it marriage before sex though or you still have your priorities mixed up, are you even still a Christian?"His words laced with resentment towards me. I can't understand why, what have I done to deserve this treatment from my own father ?

Wow!

"Yanique gwan' een" Lando commands me, his tone makes me feel like I should hide under a rock.

I dare not to cross him now.

I walk away, taking my father's words with me.

Lando's POV

" Fi a big man mi neva think yuh ego that small. Mek this be the last time yuh eva come near her" I say to Mr. chatty mouth as soon as I realize Yanique is far away from us.

"Alright mi boss, memba a you call the shots. Your links dem tall and I'm threaten by you . Seem like just a phone call and you can wipe out the whole force" he says sarcastically with a smirk on his face.

Lord if a neva Yanique daddy. That's his only advantage and he knows it , I can tell by the way he is brave enough to still be here talking and he very much knows I'm always strapped.

Mi wouldn't mind mi wake up tomorrow and find out him a her stepfada ! Him wouldn't see another sunrise.

"Office pussyole" Lawrence says as he walks over to join us with the biggest grin on his face but venom laced in his eyes.

"You get to keep your three points yet still you have some nerves to show up here? It's either you're dumb or just looking trouble mate. Pick a struggle" my brother laughs.

Sadly his patients is not has commendable as mine.

"I was just leaving" Mr Mitchell tells him seeming intimidated. He knows Lawrence has absolutely no attachment nor reasons not to kill him. I can tell he wasn't even expecting to see him here by the look of fright on his face.

And there goes Mr chatty mouth, silent like a church mouse.

"As you should. Have a great day mate , remind your wife to pray for me when she goes to fasting Thursday at 4pm ... oh or she could very easily do that Monday in devotion at school. She still works there right ?"Lawrence presses him and I smile.

He hiss his teeth before he leaves.

"Wah di bloodclaat him a duh ya ?" My brother channels his anger towards me and I walk away. He follows.

"That mi ago find out" I tell him when I get back inside the house. I see Yanique seated next to Jada, think the Patrice girl lef.

It's time for us to do so too.

"Mek mi deal wid that , enjoy your night with your fiancé" He tells me.

Enjoy mi night ? That far from possible, right now mi blood a boil just knowing him find the bravery fi step to mi today. Disrespect mi woman in front mi!

This cya continue.

Something change and mi wah know a wah dat. Him shuda neva tink bout fi fawud ya suh.

"Jada mi a liff up now!" Lawrence shouts and she quickly say her goodbye to Yan and I before trying to catch up to him.

Yanique looks over at me.
Her eyes hold so much pain in them. Where did her happiness go ?
