The guards began pulling Vanessa’s arms without warning as they dragged her out of the door. “What are you doing? Do you know who I am? You, worthless guards, can't reach up to my standards even in the years to come!“ Vanessa yelled at the guards as they effortlessly pulled her feminine body out of the building even after Vanessa struggled not to move an inch but the guard's strength overpowered hers. "Bruce Yates! Get your fucking self out of there! You dare to ruin my career over that wretched wife of yours from a stupid family! Believe me, I would frustrate you guys. I will ruin your relationship with that bitch! I will ruin you all, just watch and see!“ Vanessa screamed. A Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up before the tall glass building of the Yates company and a hefty bodyguard dressed in a black uniform and sunshade came down from the driver's side of the car went to the back seat and opened the door. He bowed before the figure who sat in the car before he stepped to the si
"You should go.." He did not finish talking when Stacy opened the door with her fingerprint on the sensor and barged into the sitting room. The sight that caught Stacy’s gaze was unbelievable. Edward had his hand wrapped around Ethan's neck as he pressed her dad against the wall. Olivia was coughing out blood as she held onto her neck. Eddie was standing far away from the scene but the moment she saw Stacy step in, she rushed to her side. "What is the meaning of all this that I am seeing?" Stacy asked when she came out of her thoughts. " I've been asking him to let go of the old man but Mr. Yates won't listen. I've tried countless times to tell him to stop strangling him or else he might die but he turned deaf ears to my words," Eddie reported, feeling scared for the unknown old man's life. Her eyes moved to Edward and Ethan. Edward relentlessly tightened his grip on Ethan while Ethan kept fighting to pull Edward's hand away. "Get away from me, useless child! it
Edward flashed to his mother's side and yanked her arm around in anger at what she did. "Mom, what was the meaning of that?! why are you behaving like a kid? Even that little brat is much mature than you by what you just did now," Edward yelled at her. Olivia peeled his hand off her arm and gave off a warning as she wore a serious face. "Don't you dare pull me in that manner and yell at me again, Edward. When next you try such you will have my hand running across your face to bring you back to your senses," Olivia warned with a pointed finger. Edward raked his fingers through his long dreads, feeling frustrated due to the multitudes of feelings he felt within him. He let out a deep sigh. "Fine mother. I am sorry but at least stop this and come with me so you can be checked up and attended to by the doctor. you have blood all over you right now,“ Olivia sneered at him and walked out of the mansion without a word. Edward darted his gaze to Stacy’s face for a few seconds
Ethan was stunned once again. it's been a long since he last tasted food prepared by Stacy which was one of the reasons he came for a visit to the Yates Mansion. "So you are saying that because your husband told you not to go into the kitchen; It means you won't cook for your father?" "Yes, I won't. it's a rule I must abide by no matter what. You should freshen up and I will go downstairs to instruct the cook on what to prepare for you," Stacy said and left with no other words. Ethan stared at her retreating figure for some moments before entering the room she had told him was prepared for him. Stacy got to the kitchen entrance and saw Eddie standing close to the cabinet with her back facing her as she trembled slightly. "Eddie?" She called out her name. Eddie jerked in shock and quickly wiped away the tears from her cheek. Making sure she had her tears dried up before turning to face the voice that called out her name. Eddie turned to the kitchen entrance and saw her
"You are talking about Mr. Yates, right?" Eddie laughed it out. "Of course. Do I have two husbands or what that you're asking," Stacy laughed. "Who is the lucky guy that you fell head over the hill in love with to have made you cry so much?“ Stacy asked. A blush crept up Eddie's cheeks. "He lives under the same roof with us,“ She whispered under her breath as she stared at feet with her dark hair falling over her face. "He lives here?“ Stacy's brows creased as she stared at her. who was she referring to? There were only three men currently living under the same roof and she was sure it wasn't Bruce or Ethan. "Edward Yates?“ Stacy asked which came out more like a gasp. Eddie nodded. "Yes, Eddy," She blushed more. "I remember clearly the first day he came to the same school as mine. He gave off that cold aura that I could not even approach him neither could anyone else. He was aloof and quiet in school, always looking mad over something and I kinda found out that he did not w
"I called to know what your daughter said about the Brand Ambassador stuff we spoke about? a few days ago," "She agreed to it. But any shoot that's going to be done would have to move to the weekends. I don't want my daughter to get distracted from her school activities by the shoot. She's still little and can't bear the stress of going to school and then shooting for your products," Bruce spoke bluntly and Mr. Anderson hummed. "That's reasonable. Also, Lucas would be doing the shoot with her. it's going to be some bang bang on the commercials!" Mr. Anderson sounded excited. "Having a cute little girl and a handsome boy on the TV as they promote my new product that would be launched once the commercials have been shot; I am sure it would get a lot of audience and they would feel the urge to get the product due to how cute and lovely the two kids look together," Mr. Anderson sounded excited about it. "Yeah, right," Bruce mumbled. "Before I forget, you did not tell me if y
**** After Olivia had done a check-up on herself and took some drugs to stop the hard cough and blood that was pouring out her mouth. Olivia was flabbergasted by what the doctor told her. The doctor maintained a straight but remorseful face as he felt the urge to laugh but did not show it. "Are you telling me that the drugs you gave to Edward two days ago weren't the drugs I told you to give to him?“ Olivia asked for the second time. "I am sorry Mrs. Yates. I had mistaken the drugs for the Vitamin C’s. I did not know that it was the wrong drug till you showed me the rest of the pills in this small bag of drugs“ He apologized. "Is this how you go around making mistakes in your hospital?!" Olivia banged her fist on the doctor's desk and he flinched back slightly." "A common drug I asked you to give me; you still ended up giving me rubbish! How can I kill a pitbull using vitamin C pills? How can it be poisonous when it's giving the dog vitamins and nourishing the bastard
Olivia and Edward got back to the mansion and headed straight into their rooms. Edward slumped flat on his bed, holding his favorite pillow close to his chest but for some reason he was unable to sleep. His mind and heart were restless. He sat up at the edge of the bed with his feet on the tiled ground. "Fuck!" He cursed, rubbing his hand harshly over his face, and then raked his dreads backward away from his face. "What's happening to you Edward?! Just fucking forget about her. She is married already so why is it so hard to let go?!" Edward yelled out at himself as he tugged his dreads from the end of his scalp harshly. He felt pains in his heart. He was the first person to set his eyes on Stacy so why didn't he end up having her?! Why must everything he ever had and love be taken away from him every single time? He tried to forget about Stacy after he had lost contact with her. It was so hard to do it but he did. "It's been so many years already and you wer
