Chapter 20

The big Secret

Darien peaced the length of his Bedroom waiting for the arrival of the queen of all bitches: Kathy Aka his grandmother. He ran his fingers to his unruly hair and tried to calm his nerves. 'What Secret did his grandfather keep from him…' Darien was broken from his thoughts by the sound of the doorbell. Darien tore down the steps to the door. Before he opened it he leaned over and checked his appearance in the mirror. 'Wait why should he cared what he looked like it was only Kathy and beside this was his house.' Darien swung the door open. There stood Kathy Shields in very expensive suit and Gucci shoes that cost more than what an Average person would make in a year.

"Darien Darling how are you?" Kathy asked while kissing both of Darien's cheeks. After she was done she pushed Darien aside and walked into his house.

"Nice to see you Kathy, please grace my house with your presence," Darien said with sarcasm. Kathy smirked. Darien just couldn't help himself every time he was around this woman he had to say something smart

"Tisk tisk Darien. What would your mother and father say if the were still alive" Kathy asked with a finger on her chin faking like she was trying to think. Darien tensed at the mention of his parents. 'Was she really going to go there about his parents…how dare she talk to him about this in his house.'

"Kathy you can come into my house and disrespect me and everyting else in it, but don't you dare bring my parents into this" Said Darien through gritted teeth. Kathy went on with her rant anyways, even though she could see that Darien was visibly getting anger.

"I know what we would have said: Dairen how could you treat your loving grandmother like this." Darien balled his hand into a fist his nuckles were turning white. " If we hadn't taken you to soccer practice that day and died in that horrible car crash we would-" Kathy was suddenly thrown up against the door. Darien put his arm under her neck and put pressure on it.

"I asked you nicely Kathy and now you've got me really pissed the hell off." Darien spat at her. Kathy only smirked at how forceful Darien was being with her.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning" she laughed. Darien put more pressure on her neck cuttiing off her air supply. Kathy leaned close to Darien's ear. "Go ahead," she whispered into his ear. "Strangle me, slap me around alittle I dare you. That just gives the me a reason to take everything you ever loved or cared about away." Darien loosed the pressure on her neck.

"Hurry up and tell me what you came here to tell me and then leave." Darien hissed at her and let hisgrip on her go. Kathy rubbed her neck.

"Well I'm tried of standing here can we sit and talk." Darien said nothing and led her to his office. When they made it there Darien sat behind his desk and Kathy sat on the other side of it.

"Tell me what my grandfather kept from me." Darien said ruffly.

"Do you have my money?" Asked Kathy playing with her fingernails. Darien opened his desk drawer and pulled out two fat brown envelopes. And throw them in front of her. She opened one of them and took out some of the money that it contained. She smiled and put it back in the envelope.

"When me and your grandfather were together he told me that he was scared that you would never settle down and have family. Hell at the time I didn't see why he would think that, but when you passed up girlfriend after girlfriend I could see what he was talking about." She twirled a piece of her graying hair between two fingers. "So he made a seprate will that stated that if you weren't married or engaged three months after your 23rd birthday that you wouldn't inherit anything from him." Kathy finished her sentence with a smirk. "Oh and isn't your 23 birthday only three months away. I have to start thinking of what to get you." Kathy laughed. 'Darien would never find a woman time.' She tought to herself 'He was a type of guy who had to get to know the girl before he even decided to sleep with her and that at less took 2 months.'Kathy laughed. But as she looked at Darien she saw that he didn't have an angry look, but a smile.

"What the hell are you so happy about your about to lose all your fortune." Darien got up from his chair and walked around to the sit on his desk in front of her.

"Is this the big secret that you wanted to tell me so bad. I should get a refund on my money" Darien said with a smile. Kathy looked bewildered at Darien. 'Had he already known of the Secret will…. No he couldn't of have. He wouldn't have gave me the money if did.' Darien was getting a laugh out of the look on Kathy's face.

"Kathy if you haven't noticed I have made my own life and I make my own money. Yeah my grandfather's money would buy me some more fansy cars and other stuff, but like I said I don't need it." Darien got up and walked over to the door and opened it to show Kathy out of his home. "Now if you don't mind 'grandmother' would you please show your ass out of my house." Kathy Smriked and got up from the chair, but not to leave as Darien had asked. She went over to his liquor bar and poured herself a glass of brandy.

"In the Will it stated that if you did not acomplished this goal in the time frame he had set then the money would go to the next person eligible for it" She took a sip of her brandy and turned to look at Darien. Darien was trying to figure out who would be the other person that could inherit his grandfather's money. 'Could it be Andrew him and my grandfather were close.'

"I can see your having a hard time figuring it out so let me help you. Its Me. I'm the next in line." Kathy smiled and took another sip of her brandy. Darien was in shock. How could Kathy be the next in line? His grandfather divorced her for godsakes.

"Your lying Kathy my grandfather would never gave you a dime unless forced to by a judge."

"Oh but Darien I would never playaround when it comes to money. You should know about that by now." Kathy put down her brandy glass and walked over to the chair that she was perviously sitting in. she opened her purse and pulled out a long brown envelope. "If you want proof " She waved the envelope in her hand."Come and get it" Darien walked over and snathced the envelope out of her hand and shoved her into her chair. He walked around his desk and sat down in his chair. He opened it and pulled out a crisp white piece of paper. He read the document. Kathy wasn't liying. Everthing that she had said was in the document. He would be damned if he let her have any of the money that his grandfather worked so hard for. Sure his grandfather was a bastard sometimes, but his bitch wouldn't touch his money.

"Well, I see that you need sometime alone to yourself so I'll just see my wayout. Besides I have to start packing for me trip around the world with your grandfather's money." She stood up and grabbed her purse.

"You won't get one penny," said Darien.

"Oh but I think I will. You won't be engaged non the less married in three months we all know it."

"I'll do whatever it takes. I won't let your dirty hands touch his money"

"Whatever you say Darien see you November."

"What's happening on November?" Asked Darien.

"The party were you will inherit all your- I mean where I will inherit all of my money" With that she walked out of Darien's office laughing. A few seconds later he heard the door slam. Darien couldn't believe his grandfather was really going to pass the money onto his ex-wife if he didn't comply with his death wishes. Darien picked up the phone and dailed Andrew's number hoping that he would pick up.

"Hello?"

"Andrew!"

"Hey Dar whats up"

"I'll tell you whats up Kathy-"

"You mean your grandmother"

"Yes! She called me earlier saying that my grandfather and kept some things from me. She came over here and told me that my grandfather had wrote a seprate will saying that if I wasn't engaged or married by the time three months passed after my 23rd birthday I wouldn't inherit one cent"

"So, you never cared about the money Dar"

"I know but then she tells me that if I don't comply with his wishes then she will inherit all the money and I'll be damned if I let that happen."

"Darien how do you know she isn't lying so she can get the money"

"That's what I thought at first, but then she showned me the documents."

"Well…. You know what you have to do then right?"

"What?"

"Go find yourself a wife."

"That's easy for you to say. Where am I going to start? I only have a week remember" said Darien as he ran his fingers through his head.

"Well…." Darien could almost see the grin on his face.

"What"
"The rest of the guys are going to the club tonight why don't you start there"

"I don't know Drew…"

"Come on what do you have to lose."

"My sanity"
