A bedspread was flung over Stacy’s body, covering up her revealing skin. Ray was yet to wrap his head around what just happened when he let out a screeching cry, his cry high pitch in comparison with the thunder sounds. "Ahh!! Jesus! Please please please you're going to break it if you don't stop,” his fingers cracked back looking horrifying and hideous by the way his fingers were dislocated and broken into two and he was also flung across the room effortlessly like he weighed nothing. "Who the hell are you?” Ray croaked in a pained tone and before his eyes lightning flashed across the room. The lighting highlighted the penetrating gaze of the intruder. His gaze was terrifying and dangerous at the same time like he was ready to kill and rip off every head from the shoulder of anyone who wronged him with no atom of remorse. Tremors of fear ran through Ray’s body. Recognizing the massive and deadly airs oozing from the figure before him, Ray could not help but stutter as he stu
Stacy gasped as she felt herself being lifted. "What are you doing, Mr. Yates? I can walk by myself. You don't have to do this..” "Keep shut and relax on me,” Bryce commanded in a coaxing tone, and even though Stacy was hesitant to relax in her boss’s and legal husband's arms, she had no choice but to abide by him. She could literally feel the butterfly in her. A blush crept up to Stacy’s cheeks mixing with her already high fever, making her face deep pink as they left the room. Bruce stepped in through the glass door into the sitting room of the grand mansion. Olivia and Edward both stood up in sync. Shock was boldly written their face at the sight before them. They were amazed at how quickly Bruce was able to find her but their lips refused to let out a word as they just kept staring and shooting daggers in Stacy's way. Stacy felt her heartbeat pound against her ribcage and goosebumps filled with embarrassment at the glaring look they shot at her. She purposely let her dark h
Seeing her Dad walk out of his room, she ran to catch up with him. "Daddy! Wait up for me!” Cherry yelled, running to meet him. "Did you find mummy? "Yes, I did. Your mum is in the room having some rest. She caught a cold. Do you want to meet her?” "Yes, Daddy, I was so worried and thought she wouldn't ever return due to how granny and Uncle Edward treated her. I don't like them, Daddy,” Cherry sobbed. Bruce furrowed his brow, his gaze filled with concern as he studied her face. "Have you been crying?" he inquired, noticing the remnants of tears on her cheeks. Cherry sniffled and used the back of her hand to wipe away the tears. "Why are you crying? I promised I would bring your mom back, and I did. Remember what I told you about being strong and not crying?" Bruce lifted her gently into his arms, his eyes fixed on her face. He observed the dried tears on her cheeks, causing his frown to deepen in displeasure and a hint of frustration. He despised seeing his daughter in
Stacy wasn't expecting that. "Do you have to ask for permission, mm? Come here,” Stacy gestured, moving the blanket away so Cherry could lay next to her. Cherry pulled Stacy into a warm cuddle. "You're so soft,” Cherry remarked. "I guess I might have to sleep next to you every night,” She felt the need to be selfish, atleast about her new mummy. She sniffed Stacy’s skin. How much she so much loves the cologne on her mixed with the honey and rose smell coming from Stacy’s hair. The door was suddenly pushed open and a cart filled with different bowls of hot soup was pushed in. Cherry quickly sat up on the bed. "So many bowls of soup? Is it for mummy?” She asked the chef putting on a white chef uniform with a white Apron tied around his waist. "Yes, it's for her. And you should also have some so you won't catch a cold. The weather is really cold after the sudden downpour of rain,” Bruce suggested, stepping into the room with his hands in his pants but his gaze was resting on
A deep blush crept up on Stacy’s cheeks. Bruce let out a cough. "Are you done eating, Pookie? You know it's bad manners to scream while eating. You shouldn't do that again,” He scolded but Cherry didn't even pay attention to his scolding. "Pookie?” Stacy was a little surprised by the nickname Bruce had called Cherry. "Mummy, don't worry. Dad will dote on you even more. This is just the beginning so don't feel shy,” Cherry’s words forced Stacy’s hand to fly up to her face. She felt very embarrassed at the moment. She was already getting fed like she was some kid when it's not up to twenty-four hours of stepping foot there. This was the type of love Stacy had always wished for but all her Dad gave her was insults and slaps across her face and sometimes he did more horrible and traumatizing things than that. "I'll feed myself, Mr. Yates. You don't have to do this,” Stacy pleaded, her plea reflecting in her amber eyes. "No” Bruce gave a short response with no more word
"I might need to step my foot into the Yates Mansion sooner or later,” She snickered viciously. "Olivia thinks she has won by kicking me out, huh? Well, one of my blood is still living there under the same roof. I can't let another woman steal my child from me using some love tricks. There's no woman on earth who is capable of caring for a child that isn't hers other than the mother!” Ella’s face turned confused. "I'm sure she is just there for the money and fame from society but I won't let that happen.,” She swore. What was her madam talking about? " Did Master marry a new wife?” She asked but was left with no reply except her madams reaction cause she had her nails dug into her palm. "Wow, that was unexpected. I thought he hadn't gotten over you. But it seems we were wrong about this,” Ella said with surprise in her voice as she kept the makeup kit on the table. "Yes, but I can't sit back and watch as another woman takes my place in my daughter's life. I have to do
The chef quickly left the kitchen I took the cart away from his master's bedroom before he and the doctor arrived. Cherry had left the room earlier after Bruce had left to call the chef. Cherry went to her room to check up on Daisy and Stacy wasn't feeling sleepy yet so she used the time to scan the room. After the chef had taken the cart away, Stacy lay on the bed with her eyes darting around the luxuriously spacious room with interest in her amber eyes. Bruce's taste was indeed something diverse. His room had that masculine vibe to it. Stacy didn't also miss the fact that his room had the same smell as his cologne. And yes, his room was certainly dark yet sharp. In the process of studying the room, Stacy noticed the small shelve on the left side of the room filled with novels which actually shocked her to the core. "Woah!! So Mr. Yates read novels? But he doesn't look like one who would love to read novels a tiny bit. This should perhaps belong to someone else ca
Seated in his sleek grey BMW in the parking lot, Bruce dialed a number, frustration evident in his voice. "The pills seem to be having an effect. But why would her father resort to such extremes? Is it not utterly absurd to try to control an adult in such a manipulative manner?" Bruce's irritation was evident on his chiseled face and stormy eyes. How could a father stoop so low as to exert such control over his own daughter? To dominate her life and subject her to physical abuse as if she were a stranger? Did he possess any atom of a conscience in him? "Just continue giving the pills to her daily for the next five days. I believe you'll notice a change in her behavior. Her submissive demeanor is not natural. It's one thing to cower before abusive parents as a child, but it's entirely different when an abusive parent strips away your rights as an adult, leaving you powerless except to shed tears. It's truly disturbing," a composed voice advised from the other end of the line.
