The next morning, Black woke up to see Daphne snuggling with him in bed. He remembered when he returned to the bedroom after cleaning up to see that she was already asleep. They are married now and so he slept on the same bed with her and under the same duvet.Last night she was sleeping far from him with a pillow dividing the bed but this morning, she’s fast asleep nestling her head in his arms.How beautiful she looks while sleeping is on a different scale and Black’s ego couldn’t deny that.He could not stop staring at her as memories of their nightstand four years ago came back to him, he loved how she looked then and now.The only difference was that he didn’t have a thing for her because he thought her to be an enemy but now the way he looks at her is different.With a careful movement of his hand, he helped her to pick up a fallen eyelash on her cheek.He was careful enough not to wake her up but Daphne felt his touch, the one that sends tingles down her spine at the mere cont
The moment Daphne reached the first floor with Black, someone rang the doorbell. She walked carefully in her heels toward the door and she unlocked it without asking questions— she thought the maids are probably coming early in today.When she opened the door, Old Lady William showed up with a warm smile, and four of her quarters' maids each holding a big pot containing food and another tray with desserts.She raised a brow in surprise but she was quick to compose herself and say her greetings properly.“A beautiful morning to you my dear” The old lady replied with a bigger smile.“Good morning Grandma” Black said with a slight smile.“Good Morning my prince warrior” She replied with an impish smile and Black looked away from her because he understood what her joyous smile meant.“Oh, go in you all and set the table,” The old lady said turning to her maids.Daphne’s eyes darted to what the maids are holding and that’s when the sweet aroma wafted into her nose. Her stomach grumbled so
After sorting out his business at the first factory, he left immediately with Kai to check on the second place before retiring for the day.At one point, they were stuck in traffic and the line seems to be a long one so he asked Kai to roll down the window for a little bit. That was when they saw Cassandra walking by the sidewalk with a dejected look.“Boss is that not one of the maids at the Villa?” Kai said.“Get her to come over,” He said to Kai who nodded in reply and quickly alighted from the car. He chased after Cassandra to call her back to the car.She walked diligently with both of her hands crossed at the front.“Oh my goodness! Good afternoon young master” she greeted with a blushing smile and her head low.“You are not on duty right now Cassie, you’re a family so act as one” Black said.Cassandra’s face reddened the more and she smiled” Afternoon big brother Black” she said shyly. It was Mr.Marwood’s rules before he died, he warned Cassandra about respecting Black on and o
The drive home was quiet and peaceful for Black unlike for Kai whose face wore an impassioned and spiteful look. Black was busy on his tablet checking the latest news and update about their competitors in the City. He was scrolling up on the screen when the car came to an abrupt stop and his tablet fell from his hand followed by a scream and Kai panting heavily. Black was shaken but not badly affected courtesy of the seat belt.It appears that Kai was not thinking straight while driving and he almost run over a little boy that was getting his ball on the road.Even though it was a red light, he could have noticed the boy earlier than the shocking approach.The boy’s mother came over immediately to get his son but she was apologizing greatly in tears as it was not a green light.Black groaned in frustration and eyed Kai murderously.The woman recognized the unique signature on the car to belong to the Williams and that explains her fear of they happening to sue her.Instead, Black op
Daphne could not bring herself to look Black in the face, she removed his shirt with her eyes wandering around the room but Black’s gaze remained fixated on her. His brows slightly furrowed with a known look.“Even with my mask on, you can’t meet my gaze Daphne,” he said, his deep voice trailing playfully off.Daphne raised her face to see the towering height looking down at her with a frown.She looked away immediately, the shirt crinkled in her hands and clasped to her chest. She turn around to leave when Black pulled her back to his chest and heaved her up to his face level.“We have a dinner date tonight, look nice and ... “ he paused for a while with a smirk playing on his lips then he leaned over to whisper into her ears “Look sexy we might make babies later tonight,” he said.Daphne gasped and her cheeks turned pink, a blush crept up her face when she replayed the last word that Black said to her.She pushed him slightly to escape from his grasp then she ran off to the closet t
The female leader of the Vadoo gang is one beautiful lady and she's a pretty good shooter. With the targets so far away from her, she shot the right soot one after the other. Her men cheered to praise her for her skills but the applause soon died down with a short look thrown their way. A smirk crept up her red-painted lips as she lowered her weapon to reload her gun when a man walked up to her from behind to remove the headphone protesting her ears from the sound.The lady turned around immediately with a guarded stance but when she saw who it was, she let her guard down and covered her situation with a demeaning smile.“Arlo! You’re here already” she said.“Well yes boss, I heard you will be around for a while so I didn’t want to miss this once-in-a-blue-moon chance to stay with you,” Arlo said.“Great! You’re here just in time, I could use your help with my plan tonight” she said.Arlo’s Jaw twitched, his brows puckered in curiosity “And what would that be?” He asked.“A walking t
The red dot appeared on her head, hovering around her forehead and her eyes but when Black looked up in her direction, the red dot disappeared into nowhere and Daphne settled in her seat. They are being watched.“I’m sorry, she said it was urgent” She explained to Black who has started eating his bit-sized risotto already.“Oh I see you didn’t wait for me,” she said teasingly.“Took you longer than expected” Black replied with his unbothered look.Daphne picked up her fork to start eating as well, their conversation can wait. It seems it’s going to be a long conversation anyway since she’s got questions to ask him about Kai going to the Kid’s school.While eating, Daphne could not stop thinking about the woman’s face and what she said to her. She tried so hard to remember her but it was all hazy.When they were done, the waitress came over to clear their table and then hand over Black’s overcoat.His bodyguard soon came with the Wheelchair and he moved into it on his own.Daphne rais
The night air suddenly became chilly for Daphne, she shuddered even with Black’s Overcoat now on her. The car came to a stop in front of the West Mansion and the driver hurriedly open the door for both of them.The Lady of the house who has been waiting for them showed up where they can easily spot her. She smiled so heartily seeing them together, very satisfied that Black took Daphne out on a night date.“Oh welcome my Prince and his sweetheart,” Lady William said with joy as she strode towards them with her hands stretched forward to hug Daphne.Daphne who was unfeeling at the moment managed to consider the possibility of how Black doesn’t want his grandmother to get worried. She sighed and adjusted the overcoat hence using the chance to quickly glance at Black.She saw his sorry face, this might be the first time she was going to see him so worried.Black slightly nods his head with a pleading face for her to remain calm on the matter.Her face creased in disbelief, perhaps she was
