Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 91 - Banshee



Martin stood in awe in his living room, completely shocked by the celebrity and number one CEO in the City the was standing before him in his home. Martin glanced at April questioning her, with a smile and a nod from his daughter he came back to his senses and took Dean's hand shaking it.

Martin always believed you can tell a lot about someone by their handshake, in business it had aided his many business deals, the handshake gave him insight into the person before him. Dean's handshake was firm and he looked him in the eye, which told him he was sincere and trustworthy.

​​

"It's really nice to finally meet you!" Dean spoke open and honestly to April's father he had to show his sincerity.

"Yes and you of course, please sit down," Martin sat down. As he was still somewhat in shock he was only taking in the scene before him, he noticed Dean and April held hands and sat side by side. His brows furrowed and his demeanour changed slightly.

April noticed her fathers change clearly and she lightly laughed. In her past life, her father had been so jaded and influenced by Rachel that he had basically handed her to James who didn't love her and cheated on her regularly. This changed Father in front of her was a shock and it was enlightening, it made her happy.

"So, are you a couple?" Martin questioned, he sat forward and started a series of questions. "What are your intentions with my daughter?"

Dean also sat forward, he was ready to answer any questions that Martin could have for him.

April rolled her eyes inwardly, she decided it was a good chance to excuse herself and go to her father's study.

"I will be back shortly, you two play nice!" April spoke and made her way to the stairs leaving the two men in her life alone to get to know each other. On reaching the stairs she bumped into Tom, she stopped and asked him to keep an eye on the two in the living room.

April made her way upstairs, she had to walk by her stepmother's room. As Rachel was inside sleeping it should be okay but April still tread lightly as she walked towards her father's study. Her father kept his study locked but he had given April a key so she used it, opening the door and quickly locking it behind her. She needed complete assurance that she wouldn't be caught by anyone.

April walked to her fathers mahogany desk and opened the top drawer where he kept his tablets. She took out the three medicine bottles and emptied them onto the table. She then started swapping them with the identical tablets Zane had given her. 

Once she was finished she then attached a small motion detector camera to the inside of the drawer which Dean had arranged for her. The small camera would let her know when someone would be near her father's tablets. It would alert her if Racheal or Lucy would swap them out again and she could use it as evidence to show her father. She really hoped that one day she could live a happy and peaceful life without Lucy or Racheal's interference.

Closing the drawer she glanced up and noticed the picture of her father, mother and herself sitting on her father's desk. Her beautiful mum was smiling back at her as if she approved. April smiled and walked towards the study door, she listened at the door but didn't hear anything so she unlocked the study door and headed out.

April walked straight into Rachel, she stood at the door and April couldn't stop in time so she crashed into her.

"What are you doing skulking about in my house?" Racheal raised her voice at April, she gripped her hand with the keys to the study in it.

April was unprepared but she was stronger of mind and body now so she shook off Rachel's hand, as she did Rachel screamed and fell to the floor. It was dramatic and fake so April couldn't help herself and chuckled before she stepped over Rachel walking to the top of the stairs.

"You dare skulk about my house and then when I confront you about it you push me." Rachel continued her acting as she shouted at April. 

The first scream was loud and had already alerted the three men downstairs. April glanced down at the three men at the bottom of the stairs, all of them seemed concerned. She just wasn't sure who her father was concerned for.

Unaffected by Rachels display she walked downstairs without giving her a response.

"Running away, did you steal something?" Rachel screamed at April and stood up coming after her down the stairs.

April reached the bottom of the stairs first and Dean came forward instantly holding her hand and guiding her to his side. This sweet gesture didn't go unnoticed by Tom and Martin.

Rachel, who had been screaming like a banshee then noticed Dean by April's side. She was asleep upstairs and still had her dressing gown on and a face mask on her face. She was flabbergasted at the situation before her. How did April know Dean Davis? Where they an item? No, she could not allow this. If anyone suited Dean Davis the number one businessman and most eligible bachelor in the City it would be her daughter Lucy.

Rachel closed her dressing gown and smiled at Dean introducing herself. She held her hand out towards him with a gentle smile on her face, the face mask dripping from her chin and nose.

It was comical really and Dean and April both intuitively glanced at each other and smiled.

Martin was instantly embarrassed and ashamed of Rachel. He had asked Dean many questions and found him to be loyal, insightful and caring. Dean knew more about his daughter than he did, what father wouldnt be happy. But hearing Rachels screaming and seeing the display in front of him he couldn't help but get angry at her.
