Chapter 54
Grandpa Go walked into the Gomez mansion with his stomach rumbling, it was evening already and he had not had lunch, he had been out all day gambling.
Right now he was hungry and needed to eat food immediately. He headed into the kitchen and realized that the servants were out. Oliver had given everyone a week break, mainly because he didn’t need much of their services, he was barely at home these days.
Grandpa Go decided to go and check on Nora, there was food in the microwave but he needed someone to heat it up, so he decided to go and call his daughter in law.
He went up the stairs and suddenly paused when he arrived at the door. He thought he had heard something strange, he hoped it was not what he imagined it would be.
Without knocking, he slowly pushed the door open and was shocked to see Nora on her matrimonial bed with another man, a complete stranger. They were both engrossed with each other that they did not notice the old man’s presence.
Grandpa Go tried to scream her name but he suddenly felt a strange pain on his chest, he clutched on it with his palm and staggered, then held the door for support. Soon he started to feel his sight get blurry and before long, he passed out and collapsed.
The moment he crashed to the floor, that was when Nora realized the presence of another in the room. She had not bothered closing the door because she knew that everybody was out. Oliver had gone to work and he would either return late or the next day, Grandpa Go had gone to gamble and she did not expect him to come back anytime soon.
She pushed her lover aside who was still eager to make love to her, then she stood up with the bedspread tied around her chest and that was when she noticed the old man lying unconscious on the floor.
“Oh my God Williams! … You have to leave here immediately,” she called out to the man.
“But babe…”
“Go, I will take care of things here,” she yelled.
The man felt his hard on, going down at the sight of the unconscious man. He quickly got dressed and hurried out of the house.
Nora also called for an ambulance right before she started to dress up. She wondered if the old man had been laying there for long and what he had seen. If he had seen her being intimate with another man, then she was certainly doomed.
There was no doubt that Oliver would divorce her the moment he found out, but that did not bother her much, neither did it make her sad. She was already tired of the relationship and wouldn’t mind a divorce, at least she would gain some of his properties, her only regret was that she didn’t have a child for him; if she did, then she would gain much more from him.
The ambulance arrived sooner than expected. Well this was Grandpa Gomez that they were talking about, a former politician and a member of the famous Gomez family.
He was rushed to the hospital immediately and was put on oxygen as he needed or to regain his stability. Nora tried to call Oliver but he refused to pick up, so then she sent him a text message.

Oliver was in his office when his phone rang. It was Nora calling, as usual he ignored the call while drinking coffee from one of his special mugs. Well it was a gift he had gotten from Aria on their monthiversary; that was what they called their one month together celebration after marriage.
His phone made a beeping noise as a text message had come in; he picked it up and saw it was from Nora. He clicked it open sluggishly to know what she had to say.
The message read, “Oliver, your grandfather passed out and had been rushed to Doctor Josh’s hospital, please come there now,”
He scoffed and thought she must be joking, but why would she joke over such a thing? Even if she wanted to get his attention, why did she ask him to come to the hospital?
He wondered if this was another game she was playing with the old man. Yes, he had found out that the whole drama they had put on in the past was an act. Grandpa Go never had a heart failure as the doctor said, and he was not really starving for any of those days.
It was a plan that he had come up with the support of the Doctor, and Nora. Oliver would never have known if not for the Butler who confessed to overhearing their discussion.
However, he decided to not bring up the matter, the deed had already been done and his wife had already left him. It was almost a year that she did and he had not seen or heard from her. There was no need of dragging the matter, he blamed himself for becoming an emotional fool and also blamed Aria for giving up on him so soon. She did not even try to fight for him, she just left him and fled with their child and he believed he also had a reason to be upset with her.
Oliver decided to call his Grandfather and confirm from him. He dialed the old man’s number and Nora picked the call. He disconnected the call the moment he heard her voice.
What was she doing with Grandpa Go’s phone? Well, he was still not convinced that what she had said was true, but now he was starting to believe it. He decided to call Josh, of course Josh would never lie to him.
The phone started ringing and before the third ring, the call was answered from the other end.
“Hey Josh, I want to make some enquiries from you,” he said.
“There is no need to worry man, your old man is out of danger, he is strong so he will survive,” Josh replied immediately. It seemed like he was in a hurry.
“What? So my Grandfather is really there at your hospital?” Oliver queried.
“Um… Yes, wait… didn’t you know? He had a heart failure and was rushed to the hospital. It is nothing too serious, I think he must have seen something shocking that triggered his heart failure, but he is out of danger now,” Josh assured.
“Alright, I will be there right away, please take good care of him,” Oliver pleaded. That was the first time he had felt any emotion in a long time.
“You don’t even need to tell me that, he is family just like you are,” Josh replied and maybe smiled on the other side.
“Okay, bye,” Oliver concluded and hung up.
He arranged his tie, put on his office suit and headed out of the office in a hurry. He did not bother to inform Sammy or his receptionist, he just ran off to see his old man. Of course he still cared about him.
