Bruce paused chewing his food and took the glass of juice on the table, taking a sip from it before he responded to Stacy’s question. "Yes, you can. Tell me, what is bothering you?” He asked. "Can I know why you object to us ever going into the kitchen?” Stacy asked. Bruce drank another sip from the juice slowly, more like contemplating if he should let her know or not. A few seconds ticked by and Stacy found herself fidgeting with her fingernails as she anxiously waited for him to speak up. "You can let it be. It's not compulsory to tell me anyway,” Stacy laughed nervously. "Emily Yates,” Bruce voiced out, catching Stacy off guard cause she had thought he would say anything. "Who is she? Emily Yates that is.” Stacy asked, wondering who she was to the Yates family. "That's my granny! My daddy’s mummy! She was very beautiful and stunning when she was alive, mummy,” Cherry chirped in, and Stacy’s mouth formed a big O when she realized that Emily Yates was actually B
"Okay, along the line of acting the scene, Mom was told to act as Freya the blind girl. My ex-mummy was the villain of the story so I don't know why but she had taken her role too forward. She was meant to pretend to hit mummy. Instead, she slapped her so hard across her face and then pulled out a knife, almost stabbing mummy on her chest with it but thankfully I had already called for the guards attention,” Cherry explained. Stacy's breath got caught in her throat as Bruce moved his gaze to her. His stormy eyes fixed on her as his jaw grinned against the other. "Is this true, Stacy?” Bruce's question spiked into her ear and she quivered from how deadly he sounded at the moment. "It's fine, Bruce. It's been a long day already. It happened in the morning and it's evening now. I don't think it is of any use to bring up what happened so many hours ago,” Stacy tried to convince him. But her words landed on deaf ears. Bruce asked again, this time letting out a low guttural grow
"What do you mean by that? I told you guys not too long ago what I want or didn't you hear me?” Stacy did not like what she was hearing from Bruce. "Fine,” He replied, and Stacy’s jaw dropped. "Did he just say fine? What the heck did he do?!” Stacy screamed in her mind. "What did you do, Bruce? I know it has nothing to do with me becoming an actress,” Stay asked him suspiciously. "It is. It has a lot to do with acting. Cooking can be pushed to the side for a while cause I still need to think about it. Yunno, come into consideration with it and come to a decision on whether I should let you or not,” "Bruce, I'm not in a hurry, I only told you what I had in mind because you and Cherry were pressuring me to speak up, and when I did…. Take a look at what you are doing now or rather.. What you are saying,” Stacy took a sharp deep breath. "Yes, I understand,” Bruce picked up his cutlery and started cutting the chicken on his plate. "That reminds me. Cherry would be a bra
Cherry nodded her head and pressed her face on his toned shoulder, seeking solace for her racing heart. Stacy tapped Cherry on her back. "But how do we escape from them? The guards are not here and if we should call on the cops, I doubt they will make it here on time,” Stacy tried to come up with a plan to get away from them without a scratch on either of them. "Do we need to call on the cops?” Bruce chuckled. "It seems you do not know the devil you married yet,” Stacy’s jaw dropped again. "You shouldn't say such words around our daughter, Bruce,” Stacy scolded as she sneered her lips. "That's bad parenting,” "What did I say wrong?” Bruce asked, feigning innocence. "She is my first child after all. so it's normal to make mistakes while parenting the first child but you need not worry. When Pookie has younger siblings then we will be the best parent in the US,” He winked at her and Stacy momentarily forgot the dangerous situation they were in as a blush crept up her chee
But Bruce didn't stop. He continued pulling the trigger as he aimed the shots at him. The Assassin tried dodging the firing bullets that were shot at him but he could not keep it up and needed some time to have a breathing break. Not able to bear it anymore, he grumbled. "Fuck! Just stop firing bullets, devil!” He cursed, as he ran and hid behind the wall of another dining room. "You're such a coward,” Bruce stopped firing the bullets and tucked the gun into the back of his pants when the assassin ran into the same room his partner had scrambled into in fear. It was clear the partner didn't want to be shot and go through the same pain again. "You and your so-called partner still can not stand up to my daughter. I will advise that both of you return back to whoever sent you guys here and tell him that I said he did a bad job in choosing assassins,” They didn't say a word. The air remained silent with only the heavy breathing of the men hiding behind the door in the room
"Pack the bodies,” Bruce instructed and was about to return back to Stacy and Cherry when the guard stopped him. "Sir,” He called and Bruce turned to him swiftly with a raised brow. "Sir, I have a feeling that this assassination has something to do with the Hawk family,” The guard revealed. Bruce scoffed. "I thought as much. They are the only ones I might have offended recently. It's crazy that that’s the best they can do but it turns out to be very stupid,” "Yes, indeed it is. I was wondering why Mr. Hawk just decided to let us off after killing Daniel Hawk, his son, but it turned out that the old man did not really let us off,” The guard paused to hold in his laughter. "But at the same time, what he did was dumb,” the guard stated out of fact cause what reasonable person would send such inexperienced men to kill his boss if not a fool? "Yeah, if he is really serious about killing me then he should try to do better next time. I don't always have the time to handle little
Bruce took Stacy’s hand into his as the other hand held onto the steering. Stacy felt a massive hand take hold of her hand that was placed on her lap when she stared out of the window Slowly turning to him, she saw a small coaxing smile on his thin pink lips as his grip on her little hand in his massive one reassuringly tightened more. Bruce didn't like the cold shoulders Stacy gave off to him and he was willing to do anything to make her happy and also make the cold shoulders she gave off stop. Cherry who settled in the backseat did not realize when she slept off as she lay flat in the backseat while Daisy rested her head on her paw's hand. "I'm sorry,” Bruce mouthed sincerely to her. His stormy eyes were filled with a genuine apology and Stacy could feel the icy cold walls she built around her slowly crumble into snowy dust. Her lips fell open to mouth out a word at least but she didn't know what to say. Bruce clenched her hand lightly as his thumb massaged the b
"It's fine, Ma'am, he did not mean to push me. I'm fine," Eddie tried to stop Stacy from yelling at him. "No, it's not. Take a look at what he did for your head. How could he do this to a girl?" Stacy was mad at him. She looked up at him. "Did you think she's me? Do you think she's the same Stacy you and your mom had treated so badly and sent out of the estate gate under the heavy downpour of rain two weeks ago?!“ Stacy asked furiously, remembering the day Olivia and Edward had treated her like she was a bag of garbage that needed to be thrown away into a garbage bin. "What's going on here? what was that noise all about?" Bruce asked as he stepped out of the room with his hand in his pocket. He glanced at Stacy and saw that she was glaring daggers at Edward as she held onto Eddie. He glanced at Edward. Edward had an unbothered look on his face as he looked away from Stacy. Bruce sighed. "What did you do this time again, Edward?" Bruce asked tiredly but Edward didn't
