Chapter 15Daphne’s hands started shaking and her sweaty palm made her grip on the door weak. Jessica pushed the door and she let go, causing her to go inside by herself.“What do you mean by that Jessica?!” Daphne asked.“ Oh quit the act! You disappeared for five good years Daphne, five years! Only to return later as my boyfriend’s sister-in-law. You took your time to get back at him Daphne, how dare you?!” She yelled at Daphne.Daphne heaved a sigh of relief cause she had been scared when Jessica showed up out of the blue claiming that she knows the truth.Accusing her of these is better than finding out the real deal anyway.“ I don’t care about anything you think Jessica, you have no right to judge anyone,” Daphne said.The old woman that takes care of the house heard the crude conversation and came out to her rescue.“ Everything okay Ma’am?” She asked.“Everything is fine Mrs.Mimi I will soon be on my way as it is,” she said with a dismal wave of her hands.With her focus back
Later in the afternoon, Daphne slept off thinking about Jessica and the stone-hearted billionaire who would soon be her husband.Cracks of light filtered through the shutters, shimmering on her face and piercing into the darkness of her eyes.Stings!“Ah” She exclaimed squinting her eyes to adjust to the direct contact from the rays. She immediately regretted turning over to the window side and she twirled to the other side.When she realized that time was far spent, she jumped out of bed to grab her phone and the car keys her aunt gave to her.She hurriedly slipped into her shoes and left the house in a hurry, praying that the kids are still around the school and safe.She dialed a number as she drives and it was picked up on the second ring.Daphne called the number Aunt Leah gave to her in the morning but unfortunately, it was just the school driver’s number and not the kids’ teacher's.When the man answered the call, she asked to confirm if her kids were still around but she was t
Saving DaddyNoah walked up to a guard outside the big building.He continued staring as the man entered without no one to stop him.“There is a bad man inside the building, I saw him going in with a keg of diesel, “ Nosh said.“Wait what?” the guard asked surprised.“You need to stop him before it's too late sir,” Noah said.“Little kid, what do you know about bad men? How old are you?” he asked teasing him with a smile.“You are wasting time! Don't say I didn't warn you” Noah said.The guards underestimate him because he looks too young to be saying anything that's coming out of his mouth at the moment. His words are well constructed and he's oozing with confidence but he didn't want to believe that he wasn't here for a prank.“Where is your mother kid? Okay... Was the bad man wearing black? With black shoes?” he asked and Noah nodded his head in reply.“See? Everyone here wears black, it is corporate wear. Look around you” the guard said to Noah.Noah looked around and indeed he sa
With Noah leading the way, Kai saw what was about to happen and he stopped it. He wouldn’t allow him to go out anywhere without him at the moment.Even though the culprit was caught but they knew the man didn’t act on his own to come back again after 2 years. Kai stepped in front of Black and the officers did as well “I’m so sorry sir but you must talk to us directly” Noah stopped in his track and Black’s wheels stopped with a faint grinding sound. “Card,” he said to Kai who brings out his business card. “Here, give this to your mother and come to find me later for your gift,” Black said.He removed a pen from his pocket and signed on the card before giving it to Noah. After collecting the card, Noah smiled and watch as the man’s back disappeared into the other rooms.He hid the card in his pocket when he got out of the building and that was when two hands clutched his tiny arms immediately.Daphne bent to her level examining his body for wounds but she could not find any. Knowing
Noah could not get his mind off the name he heard from his brother.He watches his mother going out in a different dress, the dress looks beautifully made for her and he recognized it to be the type worn by rich women.He watched from the window with his siblings as Daphne left in Aunt Leah’s car and that was when it occurred to him where he had seen the name.“Ha ah! The company of Mr. Stone's face “ he said. The rest turned to look at him—“What are you talking about Noah?” Grace asked. Noah only went to his wardrobe to bring out the card given to him by the rich man.He thought to himself “If mommy is going to claim our rewards, then she needs the card” “Where did you get this Noah? It looks so fashionable” Darcie said and after examining it for a while, she said “It’s a business card” “Yes Darcie, I was given by the rich man I met yesterday” He explained. “Why do you still have it? You did not show it to mommy?” Grace asked. “ That was my mistake, I need to get it to her ASA
Wriggling, Crying, and punches, she tried everything to escape Black’s hold on her lower body.“Please listen to me, let me tell you something...” she tried but Black left her to watch the ground, and his muscular body was wrapped in a towel.Gentle thud—Daphne’s body collided on the soft couch and she hurriedly turn over to take her seat with fear of Black coming to pin her down.Black went to the seat in front of her and he took a seat. This is the first time he’s walking around someone without his mask. How bad Daphne wanted to peek at his face again but she was dead scared of meeting those icy stares from him — it somehow breaks her heart.“Why were you snooping around in my study room?” He asked, his gaze searching her over... looking for any hint of denial.Daphne lowered her face and her voice wavered when she said defensively “I was looking for you I promise” “Oh! Really?” He said in a deep voice, his brows raised in mocking interest.Daphne shuddered at the time of his voic
Black straightened his back and then tug at his fictional beard, he said “Dream on girl” Strutting toward her with an expressionless face makes Daphne scared the more.“We are visiting Denee outfits on Monday, prepare for that and stop aiming hopelessly around,” he said.Daphne said nothing.“If this is part of grandma’s plan to win me over, don’t even try!” He said with a stern face.“I don’t have to win you over Mr.Black, we don’t belong to each other” Daphne said straight to his face.For the first time in a while, a smile appeared on his lips “Now this is what I like to see” he said.Daphne was surprised because she has no idea what he meant by that and she was not ready to understand anything, not tonight at least.Black ushered her to the door and opened it for her “Go home” he said to her then pull out his wheelchair from a corner.Daphne clutched her purse tightly in her hands since she got the message that he was trying to pass across. She’s the only one that knows of his se
Kai came back outside a few minutes later and bowed to his boss “All cleared boss” he said.To avoid the angry customers moving to the other section of the less expensive restaurant, they took another route to the elevator.The angry customers include Aunt Leah, her husband, and the kids. Those that ordered were refunded and with apologies. The Mall belongs to one of Black’s friends and the thing about it is that no matter people's complaints and comments, they can never run out of business. That’s how well-off the owner is.Aunt Leah looked so furious at what just happened to her. She’s the type to feel pressured over anything she doesn’t have and with what just happened, she only wanted to work harder to get to such a position.She was heading to the parking lot with the kids when she heard the comment from the onlooker.“Heard it’s the eldest son of the Williams household”“He’s looking so handsome with his black mask”“I only want his money, I don’t care about his ugly face undern
