Chapter 38 - The beginning of a ROLLERCOASTER.
Andre Levetté could not stop looking at his wife, wait ex wife, he thought. She was welcoming guests
into their home well his home since she left many years ago although it was once their home. She
looked so simple and beautiful, he couldn't help but think this what they could have had but he ruined it.
She could be welcoming guests into their beautiful home then he would come give her a kiss on the
cheek and hold her tight then the guests would awe at the cute scene in front of them.
"Andre??" Della brought him out of his daze.
"Yes?" He answered.
"Jason isn't here and you know that's Leo's bestfriend. He needs to be here otherwise Leo will be really
sad." She told her ex husband who looked at her adoringly.
"Have you tried calling his parents?" Andre asked trying hard to not let his thoughts travel to that place,
looking at her cleavage in that dress made his thoughts run wild. It was unbecoming, did she really
have to torture him like that. Torture him with the thought of knowing he had it all and he willingly let it
go..
"Yes but his mom isn't answering. I don't have his father's number." Della said in a worried tone which
Andre thought was really cute.
"Let me see if I can get my assistant to do something.." Andre said giving her an assuring smile, then
she awkwardly nodded. Things were going great between them she didn't want to overstep any
boundary or give him any false hope as she was now... with Spencer. They both had to move on at
some point in their life, she thought to herself. The look he gave her made her very uncomfortable, she
knew what he was thinking when his blue eyes glimmered like that. She knew what was going on in his
head when he bit his lip looking at her like that. He was the predator and she was the prey, he was out
for the hunt and she had to be careful.
"Alright thanks." Della gave him a small smile and he swore he felt his heart tumble a bit. It was weird
that even after all these years he still felt like this about her.
The rest of the kids supposedly his son’s friends and classmates were already at the jumping castle
and running around the huge garden near the pool. This was the vision Della saw when she first saw
this house. This was what she wanted, it had so much laughter. Now Leo was the only delicate piece
missing.
"You get Jason then I will go get Leo, he must be fuming and your mom doesn't really like kids or him.."
Della said to Andre who tensed hearing the talk about his mother.
"She wouldn't do him any harm as long as my father is there." He said softly.
"I know, I mean I hope so." Della added putting a strand of her jet black hair behind her ear. Andre
wished if only he could do that.
"Use my car keys.." He offered, he hadn't seen her with a car so he just assumed she didn't have one.
She didn't necessarily need one, this was New York.. a car was an expense when there were so many
alternatives.
"Thanks." She smiled. Suddenly the doorbell rang and she turned her back on Andre going towards the
direction of the door. Andre watched her beautiful figure as she walked away, he knew he lost a gem.
He got the reminder every second of the day.
"Dad.." she squealed making him Andre roll his eyes.
"Della, I told you we could host his party at the hotel... we don't want the Levette's accusing you of
stealing anything else." Garrett deadpanned looking at Andre with a smirk.
"Can we get over that please, it's my baby's birthday." Della said in a happy tone.
"Spence is parking the car, he will be here any second."
Andre groaned.
Great!
The father and the boyfriend whatever he is.
"Hello there, Andre." Garreth said waking in with his huge wrapped up present. Della had went out to
where Spencer was, this made Andre very uncomfortable. He wanted to follow her there.
"Garreth." Andre said sternly.
"Your first birthday with your son huh? Must be pretty special." Garreth said. Andre only nodded.
"Make the best of it, before you know it. Spence and Della will be getting married and moving far away
then the only thing you be able to do is send him a postcard every year." Garreth sighed. "Sad isn't it?"
"The next thing you know Della will be back living in this house and re-marrying me." Andre smiled
acting as if it didn't even faze him.
"He is with Andre's parents." Della interrupted telling Spencer, she couldn't stop smiling. As they
continued talking, he constantly made Della smile. Andre watched from afar, Garreth only nudged him.
His heart whimpered with sadness, he stood up to walk away. Before he was disturbed..
"Nice place you have there bud." Spencer said holding Della in his arms.
"It was Della's choice." Andre said looking at Della to see if she felt anything talking about what they
once had.
"Right, babe. We could buy a replica of this place but in Los Angeles.." Spencer said to Adela who was
still looking at her ex husband so much emotions in their eyes.
"Yeah." Della said looking away from Andre.
"Hey Spence." Mila came into the dining room, she had been outside looking after the kids near the
pool or rather taking pictures.
"Hey Mila, Alfredo was looking for you." Spencer said with a smirk.
Mila groaned.
"Isn't he back in Mexico by now?" She asked.
"Nope, he decided to stay for a bit." Spencer added.
"I actually invited him to my grandsons party. Poor young man is always locked up in his hotel suite. I
hope you don't mind Della?" Garreth genuinely said.
"It's alright." Della said smirking at her Bestfriend who gave her a look of disbelief, a 'wtf' look. Mila
thought to herself, Alfredo is a son of a mafia... he wouldn't show up to a seven year olds birthday
party.
Andre had already walked away, he felt uncomfortable in his own house. Two murderers were amongst
innocent little kids and another one would be on his way so called Alfredo.

Soon enough Marcela arrived, she gave Garreth the dirtiest look there is. What shocked Della was that
Marcela had brought her thirteen year old son. She was happy to see her but she just expected
something bad to happen. Marcela was unpredictable with every good did came a bad one.
"Woah this is so cool. I know I said I don't wanna come to a seven year olds party but I change my
mind." Della's supposed half brother said to his mother. Della looked at the little boy, thirteen wasn't so
little but she considered him one. He had jet black hair like herself and her mother. He had a light tan.
He had hazel brown eyes like his mother and Della. It was prominently evident that they were related.
"This is Della, she has called various times." Marcela introduced.
"Yeah, I remember." He said.
"Della this is my son Lyle." Marcela said with a big smile on her face, clearly she was proud. Della
couldn't help but wonder how it felt to be introduced without being hidden or people being lied to
making you feel like an utter disgrace.
"So she is my big sister?" Lyle asked making Della's jaw drop, she never thought Marcela would tell her
son.. it was just too overwhelming. Lyle immediately hugged Della.
"I always wanted a sibling." Lyle smiled. Della awkwardly hugged him back. Garreth couldn't help but
roll his eyes and chug a glass of whiskey down his throat.
"You look like sisters." Lyle said. "So where's your son?"
"I was just about to go fetch him, wanna come with?" Della asked.
"Sure.. I can't hang around seven year olds." Lyle said shrugging his shoulders.
"Don't be rude, Lyle." Marcela warned.
"No it's okay." Della genuinely chuckled.
"So, Mila get everything ready and I will go get Leo. It's a surprise so people please don't ruin it." Della
said making every nod including Amber with her now big pregnant belly, her husband Daniel stood ride
next to her. They looked so cute together, they were very excited? for their first born. Gloria, Amber's
mother inlaw was present as well. This made Della wonder if Jeanine was going to forcefully allow her
into the party. She was well capable of that, she was one person who never wanted to be excluded out
of social events.

Driving to the beautiful suburban area were the Levette family mansion was located. She got to know
her brother a bit more, he had the aux code. He played Della his favorite songs and they sang along to
some of the songs that they both new.
There was no doubt in Della's mind that Leondre would bond well with Lyle. Fortunately Lyle talked
about his father, how he could speak a bit of Spanish but not more than that. He only knew some
curse, shouting word that his mom used on him when she was mad. Della then realized there was not
much difference because Marcela used to yell at her with the same words... she hadn't changed much.
Well pretty much her parenting skills. Lyle had mentioned that his father was out of the country that's
why he couldn't make it.
Lyle had said his mother had told his father first about her. Marcela's husbands was very much angry
but he came around. He was angry because Marcela hid this for so long but they sorted out their
differences and he was glad she had finally opened up. He couldn't wait to meet her, Lyle said.
Della's life was blossoming so much had happened in the short span of six months. She founds her
father, her son met his father, she found a boyfriend, she became civil with her ex husband. Everything
seemed to be going great, or so she thought. Not being aware of the evil that was happening behind
her back and the people that were trying to protect her from it all.
It was like the beginning of a rollercoaster, it started off slow and easy then went on fast and
uncontrollable until it reaches rock bottom and comes to a stop... the stop was still very far. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
