Kristen sighed after watching Mrs. King leave the room, her mother was there to inform her about lunch which Kristen was not interested in. Mrs. King did not want to bug her too much because earlier on she had made oatmeal for Kristen and had forced her to eat. She understands that if Kristen says she is not having an appetite, there is no need to force her. There is progress in their relationship and she wouldn't want to push things. Kristen stood up and headed towards the door, she had wanted to step out before so she is going do it now. Going all the way from upstairs to downstairs, she sneaked out without anyone noticing her except for the servants outside the house. She waved at them as she walked out of the driveway. The afternoon wasn't hot at all, the air was cool but comfortable. She closed her eyes enjoying the breeze caressing her skin, she couldn't help but feel like a child, free from any worries, fears, and burdens. As much as she tried, there are times that
Kristen hesitated but seeing the look on Lucian's face, she obliged. His expression might be softened but he is breathing fire inside him and she knew this. She quietly walked into the car and closed the door then faced Lucian and Frederick. The sound of the closing door made every fiber in his body rise. Lucian took a step close to Frederick and glared at him darkly," Why are you pestering my wife?"The ground in which Frederick stood, shook under him and he nearly lose balance, if not that he held himself. What he heard was a bomb to his ears and a thorn to his feet. "Two weeks and Kristen is married?"He wondered blankly in his mind. His blood began to boil and he clenched his fist so tight his knuckles turned white. He felt anger bubbling in his veins, it was consuming. The anger was rising inside of him, his vision blurred and he became dizzy, the sound of Lucian's voice faded away from his ears as he tried to catch his breath. All he could think about was Kristen, how dare she
Frederick stood in front of Noami's entrance foyer, feeling hesitant to knock. He had to if he wishes to find answers to his dying questions. For a few minutes, he listened to the beating of his heart, it was beating above normal which indicated he was nervous. He took in a couple of breaths and finally knocked on the door. After waiting for several minutes for no response, he gave up. His thoughts went to Kristen once more but his mind was plagued with unanswered questions that still haven't been answered. Suddenly, he wasn't sure if coming to Noami was the right thing so he turned to leave when the door jacked open revealing a very disheveled-looking Noami. Her hair is disheveled and she wore a pair of jeans with a sweatshirt. The only thing he can conclude is that they are too large and it covers her whole body. When Noami saw him standing there, she widened her eyes in surprise. He awkwardly cleared his throat, "Uhh..I..was just wondering if I could um come in?" Noam
Gabby stared at Frederick who continuously sipped his whiskey, both have been in absolute silence for a few minutes now. Gabby just arrived and found his brother cheerfully which he seems not to understand, for someone who has been in a bad mood now for two weeks. Frederick had left home and had decided not to return after he could not find Kristen. Their father had threatened to replace him with Gabby but Gabby was simply not interested in being the family heir. Frederick's condition for going back home is if he finds Kristen and that is seemingly impossible as far as Gabby is concerned. He was surprised to get a call from Frederick asking to come to see him, he was not just surprised because Frederick called but the fact that Frederick is in a good mood. "Maybe he had gotten over Kristen," He had thought. "So, what's up, bro?"Gabby was careful with his question, he had no idea what could be running through his brother's mind, and in order to not incur his wrath, he would ne
"YOU aren't sleeping?" Lucian sat on the bed beside her. Her body tensed immediately and she tried moving away. "I told you to go home, I will be fine," She said instead of answering his question. Lucian frowned slightly, "I don't know what you are talking about. You are my Woman and I am to take care of you." He stated with a tone of finality, meaning that the particular discussion was over but Kristen has not even started yet. Kristen huffed in her mind, " You got to be kidding me? In what way exactly are you taking care of me? Mom is here and the maids and you say you are taking care of me. Is there something you all are hiding from me?" Lucian looked annoyed for a second, " You are supposed to be sleeping. You are pregnant, Kristen." He was trying to hold onto his patience. Kristen knew yet she felt like annoying him. She can't say why she is bitter, the pregnancy hormones, or just something else. She feels she can never be in love with someone like Lucian and on top of
Kristen woke up startled and found someone hovering over her. She squeezed her eyes shut because of the sudden sun rays. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and saw the person hovering over her to be Lucian. She frowned and flipped herself to the other side of the bed, "You don't have to do that. You scared the crap out of me." Lucian could see she was angry and he did not care one bit, he was about to leave the mansion and decided to see her. "Starting your morning grumpily won't help you."He mumbled and straightened himself."Oh yeah, how about you quit showing me your ugly face." She gingerly said with enough venom in her voice. "Grumpily won't help?" He repeated, glaring at her, "How are you feeling?""Why are you asking me? What's wrong with you? Get out." She scrunched her nose."Stop this right away" He replied calmly. She glared at him and stayed silent. He stepped closer to her and grabbed her hand, "Did you sleep well?" For a split second, Kristen thought s
Silence followed before Kristen scoffed at Cherry's words, looking like she was not listening at all, "I don't need a friend."Cherry gave a small chuckle," Are sure about that, Sis? You look like you will need a friend?_You seem kinda lonely there." Cherry said with such ease, making Kristen glare at her again. "I am sure you are not daft to know when you are not wanted in a place. It's time you learn you don't force things. Things come naturally, be they friends or wealth. Now, you want to be my friend and I am asking myself what that means." Kristen stated, crossing her arms over her chest. Cherry didn't give a reply, only silence. So she continued." I know you, I will be a fool to think you are actually here to be my friend rather you want to spite me this morning probably so I can have a bad day." Cherry sighed and looked on for a while before saying," Oh my dear sister, don't hold on to the past, we can start all over, or can't we?" "Cherry, one last warning, leave my
"No, Mom, you don't have to do this, forget it, please." The pleading voice of her daughter made Maria want to shove her aside and give Stephen King what he deserved this morning. She was tired of standing by and watching him treat her daughter like he pleases. He had no shame whatsoever. Is it because she is not pressing charges against him for what he did to Kristen? That's why he always dares to make another mistake with her daughter. She was done with Mr. King and that's it. It was the last straw for her, he was going to hit her pregnant daughter. What in the world gave him the audacity? "Don't you tell me that, did you not see what he was trying to do? Hit you! In this condition, how callous can my husband be?" The pain in her voice was much but Maria King was not going to cry, she will stay strong and fight with the last drop of her blood to protect her daughter even if it was the last thing she will do. Coming into the dining room and witnessing how Stephen was chargin
