Armed men in suits kicked the door of the small bar opened and screams filled the air. On seeing heavily built men with guns and grave-looking expressions, customers scrambled to safety.The owner of the bar came out of one of the rooms and bowed her head in respect.“Room 10 by the right boss,” she said.Black mobilized his men immediately “I’m sorry for scaring your customers away Lady Mi” he apologized.“There wouldn’t be this bar talk much of customers without your help sir. This way, I will escort you” Lady Mi said.“No! You stay... do not ruin your business”Black said and then left her on the spot.With a known look, he cock his gun on the way as he strutted toward the door of the said room.He fired shots repeatedly at the doorknob and cries came from the other side.Tyson kicked open the door to see four girls trembling on the bare floor and this bald man struggling to get his gun from his jacket.Tyson shot at the space beside the jacket putting holes in the cheap jacket.Th
Black could not take the level of insult on his fine face so he let go of her and she hit her head on his hard body.“Ouch!” She cried out.And with a babyish look, she whined “Darcie thought it’s right to kiss all frogs but I told her it’s wrong, I’m happy to not be wrong!” Daphne said and scrunched her nose in annoyance.“You are a cursed prince as well but now you just ruined your chance of getting saved!” She said.“You are wasted,” Black said nodding his head to the pitiful drunkard beside him.“No, I’m not!” She said defensively.But then she yawned tiredly, she was dozing off again.With her careless movement, her body tilted and she almost hit her head on the table but Black was quick to catch her from falling.He hoisted her up into his arms and she rested her head on his shoulder, her breath on Black’s neck. The air around him was heavy with her scent.He inclined his head to take a look at her and for the first time, emotion crossed his face. He caressed her face with a co
He opened the door of the study room and turn on the light, his eyes swept across the room and with a tired sigh he walked slowly to the bookshelves.His long fingers trailed by the covers of each book as he walked past them. Halting, he removed a green-covered book from the piled-up ones and a secret door opened.He entered the room full of Diane’s pictures and his ammunition. Black opened his computer and clicked on a video that shows Diane and their baby boy, their happy moments in the house, and when his wife just gave birth. It was the happiest moment of his life before everything changed.They are gone now— he lost them to family war and greed. He plunged into his father’s business with how much he despised the lifestyle.Tears welled up in his eyes but he was quick to wipe them off.~Next MorningDaphne’s sleep was interrupted by a knock on the door. She seems to be enjoying her sleep on the king-sized bed. The comfort of the bed was different and heavenly, she felt nothing thr
Black returned to his work to check and sign the necessary documents before going to his other companies to check things out.He was flipping through the pages of a file when his phone started ringing.He picked it up and Jessica’s voice rang out “Brother-in-law, hope you are enjoying your day? I have collected all the wedding gowns you got angry over last time, now you won’t see any designs like that in any store anymore,” she said with buoyant spirit.“Good! Send everything to the mansion” he said simply.Still on call and waiting to be praised, She refused to hang up the call.“Thanks for your hard work, bye,” Black said and ended the call.~While driving home with the old lady, Daphne was at ease because the children won’t be home by this time of the day so there won’t be a need for any excuses.On getting to her home, she invited the old lady inside and she was happy with her kind gestures.Her aunt was astounded to see that Daphne invited the old lady by herself. They ventured
Daphne came out of the bathroom fully dressed and clean! She was still drying her hair though.“I will have your dirty clothes cleaned and send them over,” Daniel said.“Do you know my house? Don’t you dare! You can throw it out or package it for your fiancé as new, she wouldn’t know” Daphne said.“You now have an unfiltered mouth, Daphne. You were not like this” Daniel said.“Haha, you make me laugh Daniel, people being the cause of the change and still asking you why you changed! You are the main reason why we believe men are scum!” Daphne spat out without restraint.Daniel sighed and smiled “Take it all out on me Daph, I’m happy you are mad at me,” he said.“Don’t feel too good about yourself, this is just who I am now. I don’t strike from behind like the snake you both are!” Daphne said and turned to leave when his hand grabbed her wrist hence pulling her back.“You don’t want answers?” Daniel asked her.“I heard everything that day loud and clear, it’s not worth it to listen to m
Daniel’s car came to a halt in front of his mother’s home and he stepped out of the car with Jessica.She smiled at her loving partner as she holds her shoulder high thrilled with the fact that her mother-in-law has no choice but to like her now.Unlike before when she was against her relationship with her son because she got nothing to offer or help Daniel with but after she went home and settled the fight with her dad, she started living the life of a rich princess again.“Have you carried mother’s gift?” Jessica asked with a smile.Daniel replied with a head nod and waved the package up for her to see.After that, they went inside the mansion. They happened to meet Lady Rose having her breakfast and she invited them to join her.It was going peacefully with Lady Rose going through her phone and eating at the same time.Suddenly, she dropped the phone in anger and her face shifted into one overridden with jealousy.In concern, Jessica decided to inquire at once “ Is everything okay
As traditions of the household, the bride and the groom must not see each other few days before the wedding and so the old lady arranged a room for Daphne at her side of the Villa. Away from the west wing where Black resides.She knew what was coming and she was ready for the Old lady of the house with whatever lecture she had for her.Early in the morning, the old lady would wake her up to drink a medicinal herb and fertility tea in preparation for the wedding. In the afternoon, she would ride with the Old lady to the spa to take care of her skin and at night they would talk for hours.Daphne didn't set eyes on Black for two days since she had arrived at the house.A day to the wedding, night time ~After having her late-night snacks with the old lady, she was returning to her room when she saw the light in Black’s mansion go off. The entire building and the area went dark.She was told the lights are always off whenever he retires to sleep. She also remembered to have seen the maid
As the powerful family, they are, the entire area was heavily guarded. Black on the other hand had called Tyson into work on the low without anyone finding out who he is, along with his other men.The outside was bustling with reporters who were ready to latch on to the slightest topic of the day.When he arrived in his car, the murmurings ceased for a while, causing everyone to await the presence of his magnificent aura.Despite being in a wheelchair, he looked divine and powerful.Flashes from cameras defended upon him all of a sudden that he had to look away and do with just waving his hand to him.The bride arrived a few minutes before Black but they had used the secret entrance so they won’t be cornered by buzzing reporters. Black made the entrance on purpose I guess.Inside, he was immediately received by his mother and together they stood by the second entrance that leads to the main venue of the wedding to welcome guests and receive gifts.Influential people came for the weddi
