It’s a Sunday morning, Daphne woke up to cracks of sunlight that seep into her room from the tiny spaces of the shutters, it was overcast on the floor of her room making everywhere glow and lively. It looks so beautiful that she didn’t want to get out of bed.She removed the bed cover from her body and hugged the pillow tight to her head to enjoy the beautiful view of the rays.The sound of her phone snapped her out of her mind exploration and she frowned upon the phone vibrating on the side stool beside her bed.She checked it to see an unfamiliar number calling her, she screwed up her face contemplating on picking up the call or not. On second thought, she knew she hasn’t done anything wrong and she swiped the green button to accept the call.She placed the phone on loudspeaker but didn’t say a word until a voice rang out from the other end.A voice that sends shivers down her spine and made her hair spark upward despite the hot air.“Why did you ignore my texts throughout the night
She saw her phone vibrating on the bed and it was the same number that called her earlier today.She picked it and Black said “Come out in 5” and then ended the call with her.“Is this how rich people behave?” She rolled her eyes and dropped the phone.Lucky for her to have taken her to bath and taken care of her kids before settling for school work.Downstairs is Black waiting for her in the car. At exactly five minutes, the door came open and Daphne rushed out of the house dressed in a Maxi dress with her hair let loose on her shoulder which stops at her back level. She wears her sunglass as she approaches the car.This makes her look so young and beautiful. Black glanced at her once in anger but he was forced to take a second look at her.He only looked away when she entered the car and said panting heavily. “Five minutes exactly right?” She said.“Let’s go,” Black said to Kai ignoring her entirely.Daphne scrunched up her face and turned away from him, she prefers to look at the b
Confused! Daphne shuddered in fear of the tone that Black had spoken.Daniel looked away from the door to Daphne and a known smirk plastered across his face.Jessica sucks her teeth and the corner of her eyes crinkled in mockery.“Who chose this dress?!” He growled with so much anger.The wedding dress being unique was tailor-made for his late wife, it was the exact wedding dress that Diane had worn on their wedding day but now it seems someone is messing with him by getting the exact copy for Daphne to try on.The female staff trembles under Black’s fiery gaze on everyone.“I’m so sorry Mr.Black, she said she liked the dress and we only helped her to fix the straps” one of the female staff who dressed her up said with a mixture of lies. Daphne could not believe what just happened and the fact that she was drawn to the wedding dress could not allow her to defend herself. The staff was the one that showed the wedding dress to her, if she hadn’t there’s no way for her to know that such
Daphne snapped at Daniel “What do you want?!” How badly she wanted to ask him why he came here but she is not going to give him the luxury of a friendly approach.Daniel sighed, he opened the door wide and asked her to go in first.Daphne wanted to turn back but she was feeling so thirsty at the moment and she won't let Daniel take away the little choices she's got left for herself.She rolled her eyes and matched towards the tabletop to place her order.“Give me the same thing please,” Daniel said.He then stretches his card forward to pay for Daphne’s order.“I'm not that poor Mr.Man! I can afford fee cents” Daphne said as she grabs her cup and paid for her order.Daniel paid for his as well and hurriedly chased her to the seat she chose.“Have you not had enough already? Is your girlfriend... Oops, your Fiance! Is she somewhere recording while you pick on me right now?” she said in a form of a question and Daniel opened his mouth to talk only to be shut down by Daphne’s continuous
He threw the phone to the nearby pile of books on the floor, fuming with anger. He could not believe what he just saw with his two eyes. It looks too real to be photoshopped.With dubious glances, he furrowed his brows and picked up the phone back.He dialed a number and said, “I want all details on her before noon tomorrow.” He ordered and a firm ‘Yes’ rang out from the other side of the phone.****NEXT MORNING****A continuous sound filled the whole of the well light up room, Daphne groaned as she shot out her hand from the duvet cover. Her hand slithered everywhere trying to find the location of the source of the noise and destroy it for good. Finally, her clutching arms grasp the mini alarm clock above her head. With her eyes closed, she shook the alarm clock repeatedly till the batteries popped out on their own.She heard a sharp sound on the ground but she didn’t bother to open her eyes.She had set the alarm the other night with the hope of preparing her children for school bu
After putting her aunt’s car on lock, she took careful steps toward the parking area to meet Black.She gripped her phone and car keys tightly in her hand, fear settled around her like air.She pulled open the car door and sat next to Black with thoughts swirling around her head.“Gosh, he was right here staring at me while I ignored his call! Is he a f**king serial killer? He warned me about the second ring gosh! Oh... Wait, why am I so scared of him? He doesn't care about how I feel too so why?! I owe him no respect or half of my emotions as it is. It is not a love marriage” she said in her mind, ready to counter any accusations that were coming for her.Black said nothing to her for 2 minutes straight then Kai excused himself by stepping out of the car. This made her chest heave up in fear of what this man would do to her. He had never asked Kai to excuse himself whenever he was scolding her but today he did.“What's he going to do to me? He's unpredictable and dangerous. Is he goi
Seeing the kids discussing from afar made Daphne more nervous, she snapped her head to Black and said “As you already know that I brought them up so they might call me ‘mommy’” she said rubbing her sweaty palms together with hitched breaths. “Oh and since you are here already please be nice to them. Whatever they say, do not take it seriously please” she explained and turned to go get the kids when they came running with joy “Daddyyyy”She was shocked— The four kids reduced their speed on getting to where Daphne stood with two other men.With a closer look at the strange man, they stood still in amusement. Their ocean blue eyes mirror the rich man’s eye color as well. Their hair and each little thing scream the striking resemblance between the quadruplet and Black William.“Young boy I know you,” Black said with his brows raised, the dispassion on just face disappearing. Noah flashed him a smile and then brings out a black card from his pocket, the black card given to him by Black “
A feeling of regret settled on Daphne’s face as she watch Black’s car swerve out of the parking space.She returned to her aunt's car, stepped inside, and left the school as well.WILLIAMS VILLAAfter bringing the car to a halt, Kai helped his master out of the car to his wheelchair.The workers and maids bowed their heads slightly to welcome him which he ignored as usual. Not because of pride, but to answer back to each of them, he finds stressful.“Are you okay boss?” Kai asked as he continued to push his wheelchair to the main house.“I will meet with grandmother later, take me to the west wing,” he said.“Alright boss” Kai replied with a head nod and continued their walk to Black’s building.Kai was pushing the wheelchair when his phone started to ring.He ignored it but the sound was disturbing Black so he asked him to pick it up.“Uh... It's not important boss, I will check it later” he said with a nervous smile.He quickly brings it out to put the phone on silence then returned
