“Get me a new suit, it's time to go home,” he said.
“Yes Mr.Black” he replied then left the room.
The Williams family is at war for every grown male. Ever since Marwood Williams, the head of the house died without sharing his will. Black was smart and being the favorite son, he was given 80% of the wills while the remaining 20% was shared by the rest. With this, they loathed him to the core.
Daniel William was nowhere near competing with him four years ago but he heard rumors of his success in getting more funds to expand his business and now he's also on his blacklist of enemies to contend with.
Black is a very smart, sick, and tyrannical player. Ever since the incident 3 years ago, he never took off his mask and he faked a report that he couldn't walk.
He goes to the office in a mask and in a wheelchair. Not every day, just to check some important things and development still his enemies wouldn't stop coming for him.
The hotel belongs to him and he stayed on the off-limit floor last night. This gives him more reason to believe his stepbrother must have sent the girl to him and drugged his drink with viagra.——The Williams MansionNot just the wealth, Black inherited the vast land of Williams Mansion. He changed the building to an entirely new look to suit his living. His stepmother had left the house with Daniel years back when they couldn't live with him.They would come only when summoned by the old lady Williams. Daniel and Black grandmother. She's highly respected by all and including her two grandchildren no matter how powerful they are.
Kai and Black arrived at the mansion with him in a wheelchair and a white shawl on his thighs.Kai wheeled him into the house where the whole family have been waiting, including Daniel who arrived last night.“Your dear brother has come to pay you a visiting brother, I wish you sound health,” Daniel said with a smile.
Black’s poker face remained unchanged, he retained eye contact with Daniel as if he could see through his heart. That kind of look would make any man quail, the type that forces his enemies to go on their knees.
His gaze was sharp and mean, Daniel was still scared of it no doubt. He wishes he could curse him out loud and stab him to death.
“You’re welcome Daniel,” he said simply and rolled his eyes to leave the scene when his grandma stopped him.
“Black William! You had promised to give me a good wife and children in a few months but I find everywhere empty, why is that?” she asked in a worried voice, the wrinkles on her face moving as she talks.
“Grandma,” he said devoid of expression.
“I'm not getting younger Black. You need someone to take care of you and I need my grandchildren” She cried.
“Mother, you should not trouble Black so much. He is so sick and disabled, how can he give you any children?” Lady Rose said mockingly.
“What do you mean?! He can get any girl he wants in this city!” Old lady Williams said.
“He never takes that mask off too! How do we know he isn't ruined everywhere?” Lady Rose added. She has never been the type to hide her ill thoughts.
“Mind your words, Rose! I will find him a good bride and you will see!” She boasted.
Black said nothing to interrupt the two women, he only looked at Kai once and he understood his master’s unsaid words. He moved forward and pushed his wheelchair out of sight.
~~~With nowhere to stay, Daphne was very tired from walking the entire street and she was hungry.She salivates to the food being served to customers as she lurks around a restaurant.“So stupid of you Daph! You should have at least waited to challenge them! They should be hiding their ugly face and not you!” she said affirmatively to herself.“Oh no,” she cried as she bangs her head on the glass wall.
Then she remembered the masked pimp again.
“That damn inexperienced Pimp! I'm sore all over and I wasted my money on him... Wait and my mother’s pearl necklace! Oh no!” she exclaimed.When she was about to cry, her grandmother’s call came in.
She wipes her tears to fake happiness“Hi Grandma, how have you been?” she asked in a lively tone.But it wasn't her grandma speaking.
“Is this Miss Daphne Hendrix?” the stranger’s voice came.“Yes, this is her. Why are you with my grandma’s phone?” she asked with uneasiness.
“Your grandma is sick and she wants you to help her back home on the farm to pay her hospital bills” The nurse explained.
“ What? Sick? How sick?” she starts to cry again with a pool of tears streaming down her face. She seems to be the one that loves crying.
Her chubby cheeks flushed pink and her beautiful eyes as well. Tears filled her deep blue eyes as she clutch her red Auburn hair into a mess.
She ended the call all confused, if she was to travel down to the countryside, she will need money which she doesn't even have at all.
The thought of going to look for the pimp crossed her mind but she quickly waved it off “I'm sure he probably wants me dead more than those betrayers” She said with her fist clenched into balls.
She summoned all courage to return home and luckily for her, Daniel and Jessica were gone.
She sighed when she saw none of them but then her eyes caught the wallet on Jessica’s makeup stand. They seem to have left in a rush.She entered and searched the wallet, lo and behold! She found hundreds of dollar notes inside. She took the wallet and left no bills for them.
“This won't make up for anything but it should hit you bad! I will come back for you all” she swore vengeance.Daphne packed her clothes and left the city to go check on her Grandma.
It's been two weeks since she got to her grandma’s place and she's been helping her manage her strawberry farm.Being the prettiest in the small town, they favored and loved her so she was able to raise money out of the thousands of dollars needed.One day, she was peeling apples for her grandmother at the hospital when she retches. “Are you okay sweetheart?” her grandmother asked weakly.“Yes grandma, it must be indigestion,” She said.But then nausea came again and she rushed to the bathroom to vomit so bad.After cleaning her mouth, she grew so weak and fainted.Her grandma panicked and called the attention of the nurses.A few minutes later, she woke up in a separate room and her grandma sitting beside her but she was also with her drip stand.On seeing her grandma, she jerked up from the bed “You shouldn’t be moving around Grandma” she said.The doctor then came in with a file and smiled at her.“Big Congratulations to you Miss, you are two weeks pregnant,” he said to her.She w
Daphne heaved a heavy sigh as the train stops in Hawkins.Memories of her life here came rushing at her at once and she’s fighting so hard to push back her tears.Once they make it to the large road, she could flag down a taxi to convey her children to her aunt's home.They were not the talking type ever since she lost her parents in a car accident. They offered to take her in then but because her aunt and her husband are very tricky and greedy people, she refused to live with themIt’s quite unfortunate, she is got no other alternative than to stay with them for a while.After safely getting her quad to a safe place from prying eyes that finds her kids amusing, she quickly flagged down a taxi.Her loads were too much and could not fit in properly so the taxi left.Two more left because of the luggage and she was getting worried.She went back to her kids and made sure they sat together, each of them on each of the pieces of luggage. She then went to the main road to reason with other
Daphne watch carefully when a man alighted from the driver's seat and gave her a pitiful look.The average-looking man went to bring out a wheelchair.Daphne bends to pick the last paper from her file nonchalantly and when she lifted her face, she saw a man seated in the wheelchair with a mask on his face.Her heart raced to the powerful aura the man was imposing on her and everyone around her.Daphne’s eyes were searching and unstable when she noticed people taking pictures and murmuring.“Is he a celebrity or what? Anyway, it doesn't erase his ugly behavior” she thought boldly to herself but thenShe was getting uneasy and scared, she just needed to cross the road and would be in the big company she was going to.From the mask, Daphne knew the man looks infuriated and scary. “Did he come down for me? Oh no! I can’t be late!” she thought inside and clasp her files tightly awaiting whatever the man have to say as the silence alone was eating her up.“Carry this careless woman away fro
The car was brought to a halt in front of an old abandoned factory.Daphne turns to face her children “Stay calm okay? Mommy will protect you guys no matter what!” She said to the kids and they replied with head nods.One of the men got the door for her and when she was out, he closed the door on the children.“What do you think you are doing? I want the kids with me! Let go of me” she said struggling to go back to the car but she was stopped and forced to enter the factory.She was immediately strapped to a chair and they all excused the moment a man was wheeled inside.She recognized them as those she encountered in the day... especially the fact that the masked man must have recognized her also.Kai left his boss with the woman and smirked at her as if telling her indirectly to prepare to die.Daphne watched as the masked man stands up from the wheelchair. He’s looking so dangerous yet handsome under the dim light of the factory.“Daphne Hendrix is your boyfriend Daniel Williams?!”
Old lady William sips from her mug and replies calmly “Black is a very smart and sensitive man, it would be a great crime to send a woman into his bed, it will only worsen the situation” she explained.Daphne heaved a sigh of relief and the uneasiness groping at her heart faded away.The atmosphere turned dead silent as if Daphne’s guardian were disappointed by the old lady’s idea but then Mr. Jeffery came loud breaking through the silence of the night.“What a thoughtful idea ma’am,” he said.“You should come with her tomorrow night, it is a special day for the household tomorrow, and would be a great time to introduce her to everyone,” Lady William said.“Oh right!” Leah slaps her husband’s thigh playfully.“It is the honorable madam’s birthday tomorrow” she announced.Daphne flashed a soft smile and wished her properly by pouring her yet another cup from the teapot.“I wish you a long healthy life ma’am,” she said.“What a very reserved-looking lady! Thank you, Daphne... I can’t wa
Daphne’s heart was unsettled and her palms are becoming sweaty. Her last encounters with this man flashed through her head like a trailer for a horror movie.“Oh my dear grandson, welcome” Old Lady Williams said with smiles and the well-wishers clapped to welcome Black William into the hall.Daphne took steps behind as Kai pushed his wheelchair forward to where she saw him standing with the old lady of the house.“Happy Birthday to you grandma,” he said with a faint smile.Old lady Williams bent slightly to plant a kiss on both of his cheeks.Daniel squeezed his wine glass in anger, not just him but his mother hates the attention he's always getting from the old woman.“Today being a very happy day for me, I'm pleased to announce to you all that I have found a beautiful and decent bride for my grandson” she announced.At that moment, Daphne could not face Black, the hairs on her body sparked up when her name was mentioned. Fear was clearly written on her face.She wanted to run away b
Black’s eyes swept across the room, his cold eyes roofed with dark shadows imposing the dangerous aura he wanted on the two figures standing in front of him. He glanced over to Kai and he gave a head nod to show he understood his words.Daniel knew he was in for trouble and he started pleading for his life.“I am so sorry big brother, it was a misunderstanding,” he said. “Being in the lady's restroom doesn’t look like a misunderstanding Daniel” he said with a straight look, his eyes studying Daphne from head to toe. Seeing Daphne almost passing out on a spot, he ordered Kai to stop.“Next time you touch a strand of hair on her, I will cut off your hand” he threatened in a deep rough voice. “It’s Grandma’s birthday, I don’t want to be bloody” he added. Daniel scurried off at once. Black saw how scared Daphne was, his lips pursed into a thin line but his brows moved with interest.“If you run, I will hunt you down,” he said to her. After saying that to her, he left with Kai. Daph
Under the dim light of the room, Black’s icy stare mirrored the anger churning within him and Daphne whimpered with regret.She tried to speak but her words are stuck in her throat, her eyes following every movement of Black. He removed his jacket only leaving his shirt with three buttons undone.Daphne shivered as his fist pressed down the softness of the couch as he approaches her. Their faces were only tiny inches apart.Her eyes fell on his high bridge nose that straightened out to his red thin lips.Taking in his intoxicating scent, she moaned looking away from him but Black is one unpredictable hunter.Displeasure flickered in his eyes and his brows creased to show his need for more control.He returned her face to his, leaning closer so that he could feel the hotness of the air she breathes.Emotion crossed his eyes and his brows raised in confusion, he seems to have been attacked by something he wasn't expecting.“This is not to make you wet sweetheart” he whispered to her ear
